 WAR WORK NEEDS.
 To All County Chairmen:
 This letter contains excerpts from the recent bulletin issued by Dr. John R. Mott, in regard to why we need much more that $170,500,000. It might be well to get to the district and county chairmen letter contain ing these facts:
 1. Because of the remarkable in- crease of the American army and it's inevitable continued increase. The present budget is outlined on the basis of the work with one million American soldiers in France by Mo- vember 1st, and total number of three million in the whole American army. Before the end of next sum- mer we will have between four and five millions.
 2. Because of the marvellous ex- pansion of the American army and navy: Relatively the organizations which are united in this campaign have neglected the navy. If we are to serve the united purpose of this campaign a much larger sum of mon- ey must be included in the respective budgets.
 8. Because this war, unlike others, is not alone war of armies and nav ies, but an entire peoples. Industry is being militarized. Millions of men and women are at work in arsenals, navy yards and countless other indis- pensable war industries.
 4. Because the burden of this war falls so heavily upon the women of America and the Allies. They have released millions of the men for the fighting forces. Many are engaged in making munitions and other essen- tial war industries. The needs of these women affected by war condi- tions convinces us that larger finan- cial provision should be made for them.
 5. Because of the comprehensive ness of the ministry being rendered the American army and navy forces of our allies. We are trying to rep resent to them the American home, school, library, religious institutions and the best American ideals. A large expenditure in this direction is necessary because of the growth of the army and navy.
 6. Because of the continuity of the service we are seeking to render. We are following increasing numbers of soldiers and sailors from the time they leave their homes, while they are in transit, in training camps, at ports of embarkation, while on ship-board, and during their, stay at the ports of debarkation, as well as in their train ing overseas, and in the actual zone of combat.
 z. Because of the imperative need of placing all these helpful facilities at the service of the allied armies, whose claims were not sufficiently recognized in framing our budget.
 8. Because of the indescribable need of millions of prisoners of war, which number is rapidly increasing and who must look to us solely for a comprehensive program in the inter- est of their physical, mental, social, and moral well-being.
 9. Even though the war were to end in few more months or weeks, we should stand in great need of a fund of more than $l70,O00, ,OO0.00 be- cause this work would have to be continued throughout the entire pe- riod of demobilization. It will take from twelve to eighteen months to convey the armies of the allies now in conflict to their respective coun- tries. During that long period they will have virtually all of their time on their hands. Their temptations will be more numerous and persistent. There will be tendency to let down standards and relax discipline. The period of demobilization should not be allowed to become period of de- but rather should be one of growth in knowledge and working efficiency and of the strengthening of character.
 An Army Educational Commission, of group of the leading educators of America are being sent overseas to cooperate in establishing what in popular language would be described as "A University in Kha- d". British and French universities are helping in this vast undertaking and it will take at least eight million lollars for text. books, and books of reference for the coming winter alone 10. If there are no reasons to meet promptly and effectively emergencies and cricises which are sure to come.
