That there is danger of the

telegram:
Nashville, Tenn,
November IA.
Sentinel, Gainesboro, Tenn.
There is grave danger of the
United War Work Campaign
failing since peace has come, as
peoples efforts will be lessened.
Tennessee must stand by her
boys until their task is complet-
ed and they are home. We must
do our part if we are worthy of
the blood our boys have shed
over there for us.
u. A. Jackson, State Direct
or. :"
There are citizens in this coun-
ty. who have refused to give a
penny to the United War Work
Campaign, and why they refuse,
it is hard to understand.
Every American citizen is re-
joicing over the great victory
for which our brave boys have
been giving their lives, fighting
for loved ones at home, that
peace and happiness might reign
turnout the land.
Yes, peace has come at last.
What have you done that you
can rejoice over?
There are those (you know emf
who have invested small amOu-
mt in bonds and war stamps, but
that's all. They haven't given a
penny to anything, and we sug-
gest that Uncle Sam TAX all
slackers and learn them to be
patriotic. Suppose we were all
slackers, what then?
We had rather be in He'll with
the Kaiser, than to wear the
name of being a Stacker when
the boys get back.
The United War Work Cam
paign needs your help.
Turn your pockets wrongside
out till the boys come home.

SAh NNCfs -
I, DIR. John R. Mott, director
general of the united war work
campaign, says that, in view of
the signing of the armistice and
cessation of hostilities, it will be
necessary not only to raise $40,
5000 as originally asked for
by the officials of the seven diff
ferent organizations represented
in the drive, but so per cent adj
ditional as recently requested by
the leaders in the work.
1t will cost much more to
serve our millions of soldier s,
sailors and marines dnring the
time they are not actually fight
ting" says DR.. Mott, than it
has to serve them while they
have been actually engaged in
military operations. We are
soon to enter on a long, cold,
bitter period of winter, and we
must not forget the high death
rate from pneumonia that pre-
vailed last winter when we had
comparatively few men over sea.
During last winter we lost more
men by disease than were killed
by German bullets. We must be
prepared to prevent this to a
large extent by over-subscribing
the united war work fund so
percent. "
