SEVEN ALLIED
WAR AGENCIES
Greatest Work Which the United War
Work Organizations Have on
Hand viii Come During
Decentralization.
UNITED WAR WORK rs BIG
National Catholic War Council, X. Of
c.-the "Y," Y. W., Jewish
Welfare, Salvation and
Other Orders Help.

! One man said yesterday, in talking
| Of the united war work campaign:
I'm mighty glad to give to a Dig
program like that, which covers the
whole business not taken care OF by
the Red Cross
That exactly expresses the spirit
with which Keokuk is coming up TO
| the work of the campaign, which Will
be actually carried on as soon as the
influenza situation permits. The war
has made everybody bigger and
broader in his viewpoint. A cup OF
cold water from one hand quenches
the thirst just as well as when given
by some other hand.
The method and line of work done
by the agencies is SO big that no one
thinks who is doing it, and nobody
cares, because it is all so fine and
SO exactly what our boys most need.
Every man who makes a contribu-
ton is helping his own pet agency,
and that maybe he is helping some
other, too, only gives the warmer
glow of satisfaction to his heart.
The greatest service which the sew
en- allied agencies for war work must
be prepared to render will be during
the period of demobilization. How
ever long or short period the war
may last, these seven agencies are
beginning to prepare for that period
when the men will have practically all
their time on their hands. This will
be a time of grave danger, unless
suitable recreation and opportunities
for study and advancement and
growth are provided.
This must be done at all costs and
it will cost great sums of money.
The helpful facilities Of these sew
en- organizations are to be placed at
the service of the French army of
1000 900 and the Italian army OF
100000 and the small armies of Rus
STA, Belgium, Macedonia, Mesopo-
tamia and Egypt
The indescribable needs of the mil
lions of prisoners of war must
look solely to these seven organiza-
lions for their physical, mental, social
and moral we'll being.
Men on the field who are in po-
sition to know, say that the need for
these activities will continue to be
imperative for at least year after
the actual conclusion of peace.
When the moral and physical status
of the American boys has been kept
so high and their morale has been so
splendid, no one at home wishes to
allow the standard to slacken at this
critical period.
"Keokuk and sine rest of the county
will raise it's quota for the sake of our
own Lee county boys who are in serv-
fee. to say nothing Of the other men
over there" said member of the
committee, this morning.
