/ I'VE are facing d pecullar S1tua-
tion," said Edward w. Hines, general
chairman Of the United War Work
Campaign in an interview in his
Offices. t
eff the peace we are all praying
for comes soon," Mr.. Hines continu-
ed, more money will be needed to
carry on welfare work among our
boys with the colors over there and
over here than if the war continues.
Much of the work done now by
the seven welfare agencies>engaged in
the United War Work drive is dur
ing the leisure hour of the fighting
man. Just now. our men are in in
tensive training. Every minute of
the working day, and it is very long
working day, the. men in the trench
es and training camps overseas and
in the cantonments here are in actual
battle or preparing for actual battle.
When peace comes and there is no
enemy, that intensive training will
stop, and then the leisure hours of
! the men must be made more attract
i've for them than ever."/
Mr.. Hines, as general chairman of
the United War Work Campaign for
Kentucky, is thoroughly acquainted
with every detail of the big drive to
come the week of November IL. Dur
ing that week the seven organiza-
tions whose welfare work among the
boys with the colors is endorsed by
the War Department, are to raise
$780, 100000 in the United States.
Kentucky's share is about 1 per cent.
of that amount. The seven organiza-
lions are the Young Mems Christian
Association, the National Catholic
War Council (including the Knights
of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare
Board (including the Young Mems
Hebrew Association), the War Camp
Community Service, the American Lii
brary Association, and the Salvation
Army.
1.-THE constructive work to be ac-
complished by our government dur
ing the two years following the ces-
sation of war is, to my mind, one of
the greatest problems ever presented
to the American people" said Mr..
Hines.
cit is in the province of the seven
organizations in the United War
Work Campaign to, have very vital
part in the proper solution Of that
problem if the money is given them
a. Il hn n a n mr.
come from the government, because.
the government has all it can do. 1t
must come from the Individual.
During the week of November IL,
the Uaited States is to raise $170,-
500, 900 for welfare work during the
coming year. Kentucky's quota is
s1,77O,800. These figures in fact un-
derestimate the work that must be
done, instead of ,overestimate it. The
Young Mems Christian Association
alone is spending 100000 a
month and it's share of the national
quota is only $100,000,000 for the
coming year. e.
"In Difference to the Fourth lib
erty Loan campaign, the United War
Work Campaign has been kept in the
background for the past few weeks.
Nevertheless, very active organiza-
ton campaign has been going on, in
entire agreement with the treasury
department of the government. Now
that the Liberty Loan campaign is
over, the United War Work Campaign
will be taken up with vigor and car
ried on to a successful conclusion, if
the people of Kentucky will arise to
the occasion as magniflcently as
they have during the Liberty
Loan Campaign. We in KEN
lucky are proud of that record. Our
federal district was the first in the
United States to go over the top. Our
splendid State was one Of the first to
go over the top. Every section of the
commonwealth was at work.
Now comes the United War Work
Campaign. We do not offer govern
ment bonds at Az per cent. interest
per year. But we do offer what is OF
infinitely greater moment, the man
hood of our nation, at 100 per cent.
interest per year.
Kentucky will meet this obliga-
ton as she has met every opportu-
nifty presented to her in this war
with a will to win"
