MRS. HALEY MAKES APPEAL
FOR WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.

In our delirium of joy that the war
is ended, let us not feel that our work
is ended Much remains to be done
and many problems solved before our
country is again back to normal care
free conditions. Let every woman re-
main steadfastly at her task quite as
willing to give loyal service to her
country during this trying period of
reconstruction and readjustment as
during this struggle for world democ-
racy.
Readjustments must come gradually
and Uncle Sam will need every loyal
citizen to help him over this task. Do
not feel that the armistice signs our
release from work any more than 1t
does our fighting soldiers across the
sea.
Let us stand ready and willing for
any orders we are given, to make this
period of readjustment as speedy and
orderly a one as possible, and as
proud record for America as she has
made in other war activities.

tons with him and will take no OF.
fense If stopped on the street or any
where else to purchase one. Let each

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.

The boys who have come from war
service, whether in camp or overseas,
are q manly set. They show the re.
suit of discipline and are SO proud of
their position that they carry them
selves with becoming dignity. They
realize that the eyes Of the world are
on the Negro soldier and are willing
to measure up>to the highest standard.
These men have nothing to regret.
They frankly state that they have been
greatly benefited, and our special in.
terviews have not found one offering
even the mildest criticism of the serv-
ice. They are heroes, every one. Let
us honor our soldiers. They have
made a glorious record. We are proud
of you, because you have done your
duty, and you deserve our praise.
May we never forget you, and Uncle
Sam will not.

tribute to Americas place and part
in the Victory, and demanded justice
for all men. The Monitor, edited by
Rev. John Albert Williams Of Omaha,

should be published In book form. He
is eloquent, logical and forceful. His
masterpieces of eloQuence would be
a valuable contribution to the leading
libraries, and II placed within easy
touch Of everyone, would do much to
bring about better relationship be-
