The Sentinel=record., 1918-10-12

On November II the American peo- pie will start one weeks drive to raise the largest amount of money ever given outright hy any people in the history of the world.
 The drive will be a new thing under the sun. For the first time Protes- tants, Catholics and Jews, forgetting all their differences, will line up shoul- der to shoulder welding their indlvid- ual organizations together h their common devotion to the boys In the cantonments and over there This amalgamation of the seven great agen- cies engaged il war work is one of the fine developments which have been brought about by the war and under the wise guidance of President Wilson.
 The seven organizations which to- gether will make this united appeal are the Y. M C. A., Y. V. .. A., Ma tional Catholic War Council and K. of C., the Jewish Welfare Board, inc War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. Each of them will need funds this Fall each had planned separate campaign for support. Now, acting on the suggestion of the Presidents letter of September 5, the seven campaigns will be rolled into one. The American people will be spared the burden of seven separate appeals, and the nation will have an opportunity to demonstrate splendi61y that men and women of all creeds at home cun work together, as men of nll creeds over there are fighting and dying together.
 Dr John R Mott, whom President Wilson has spoken of as one of the ablest and most useful men of his gen eration, has been selected Director General of the drive. IL is Interesting to note that Dr. Mott's name was placed in nomination by John C. Agar of the National Catholic War Council and seconded by Mortimer L. Sehiif of the Jewish Welfare Board. The gen eral committee having the campaign in charge contains such well known names as Raymond E. Fosdick, Chair man of the Commission on Training Camp Activities George w Perkins, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the U. s. Steel Corporation James F. Phelan of Hornblower and Weeks; Honorable Myron IT. Herrick, former ambassador to France; Cleveland H. Dodge, George Gordon Battle, Mrs. Henry F. Davison and Frank 4. Van derlp, president of the National City Bank.
 In every city county and town the campaign will be In charge of the big- gest men of the community.
 Together these seven organizations represent work that is staggering in its proportions They have more than l5.000 uniformed workers, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boys ey- cry step of the way from home to the front line trenches. They operate more than 3,600 buildings and ship 800 tons of supplies to the boys in France ev- cry week. Fifteen miles of film set sail for the other side each week un- der their direction, and the regular weekly attendance of soldiers and sail ors al their motion picture shows is more than 2,500000. The Bibles fur nlshed to the boys since the war broke out would, If piled one on another, make pile more than twenty miles high
 Morale" said Napoleon, "is as oth- CT factors in war as three to one' By which he meant that one man who is kept contented and happy Is better than three men who are discouraged and homesiek. It is the business of these seven great agencies to help maintain morale, They are keeping up the fine fighting edge of our boys, and by their ministrations, helping to put added power into our army and navy and so hasten the hour of victory when they will bring our boys home again.
 1t is predicted by national leaders that this great victory drive will "go over the top" in larger way than any
