GIGANTIC TASK BEFORE UNITED WAR WORKERS

Tt was evident from the first, and has become increasingly evident, that the services rendered by these agen- cies to our army and to our allies are essentially one and all of kind and must of necessity, if well rem dered, be rendered in closest cooper ation. It is my judgment, therefore, that we shall secure the best results in the matter of the support of these agencies, if these seven societies unite their forthcoming appeals for funds, in order that the spirit of the coun- try in this matter may be expressed without distinction of race or rel1g- ious opinion in support Of what Is Ill reality a common service.
 ''This point of view is sustained by the necessity, which the war has fore ed upon us, of limiting our appeals for funds in such a way that two or three comprehensive campaigns shall take the place of series of independ- ent calls upon the generosity of the country.
 "In inviting these organizations to give this new evidence of their patr1- otic co-operation, wish it distinctly
  with this request will not in any sense imply that the surrender on the part of any of them of it's distinctive char acter and autonomy, because I fully recognize the fact that each of them has it's own traditions, principles and relationships which it properly prizes and which, if preserved and strength ened, make possible the largest ser vice.
 The united war work campaign in this city will be headed by William T. Hincks, who has been appointed the general chairman. Headquarters have been taken in the Stratfield, and under the direction of Isaac Moss, a press committee already has been | formed to include William B. Burton, Daniel l. McNamara, George c. Wal do, Clarence P. Beers and Lynn w. | Wilson.

Welfare Workers
 Feeding Soldiers

It was at Chateau -Thierry. Lines of singing, chattering American troops were swinging by on their way to the front to continue the chase and punishment of the retreating Ger mans. The air was filled with dust and the never ceasing "tramp-tramp- tramp p-tramp-tramp-tr tramp" sounded mechanical rather than human.
 They had come from afar off and all night long that tramp tramp tramp" had sounded along the French highway.
 The war workers of the. Y. M. C.. A., K. of C., Salvation Army Jewish Welfare Board and the Y. W. c. A. had been told of their coming. There we were lined up along the line of march with chocolate, coffee, food, to- bacco and other things.
 70 you lolpop" shouted a big west erner, as he slung his gunstrap over his shoulder that he might more easily slip both, instead of only one hand, into one of the big boxes of sweets. Then the rush came and the tide almost swept us off our feet. The men who pushed and crowded were really hungry; not through any fault of the United States army supply sys- tenn, but because the business before them was so urgent that they had far out-marched their food supply. | Some of the men had slight wounds and one of the officers ir charge stood, off smiling grimly as his men disregarded these wounds and filled their mouths with the first food they had tasted in hours.
 When they had finished, a Knights of Columbus worker stepped up to the officer and thanked him for permit ting the soldiers to stop long enough to partake of the bounty along tht roadside.
 "Thank you so much,' he replied
 twisting nervously on his heel
 "Er-er by the way, er..-now-er- j you don't happen to have an eXtr'
 piece of chocolate handy, do you? haven't eaten since yesterday noon.

GERMAN PAPERS
 HOT AFTER CHIEF CULPRITS OF WAR

Amsterdam, Oct. 22-British wire less service-German provincial and socialist newspapers continue their campaign against the chief culprits responsible for the war. The Fran kische Tagepost of Nuremburg, the first paper in Germany to openly de- mand the abdication of the emperor, declares the accession of the Crown Prince is entirely out of the ques- ton.
 "The German people are searching for the guilty" says the Volks -Zei- tung, the organ of the Nuremburg- ists. The Pan-Germans and Junk CTS are silent today but we do not forget they are the great war inciters ir Germany. The pan-German pol icy has led the German people to dis aster.

Do you realize it's but 9 weeks to Christmas |?

"Why, have lots and lots of time to do my Christmas shopping in comfort''
 True enough; if you begin at once
 But not true, if you delay.
 For this is to be different sort of Christmas.
 There will be no extra time available at the last week There will be great big extra force of sales people to help.
 War has changed it all. We store people have to get along as best can-and Uncle Sam makes us stand aside while thousands of people busiy making war needfuls.
 Neverthelessitis is to be good oldtme Christmas, if you wish.
 Plenty of Christmas gifts for the little foks plenty of useful gifts for grownups many novel articles hundreds and hundreds of beautiful gifts
 Best of all; they ready now-so folks who pick have finest choice and make that choice at leisure and in comfort.
