one platform, and with one voice
make our appeal to the American
people.
Third, we are making our pledge.
not to one, but to seven organiza
tons The chief difficulty that Will
confront us in securing the huge
amount required will be that every
one of us will be inclined to give the
same amount he would give to one
of the seven, if they were making
their appeals at different times. 1t
will not be necessary to give seven
times as much as we gave before. but
it Will be necessary to give twice as
| much as we gave before. Let this be
clearly understood, every one must
give at least as much as he gave to
the last Red Cross campaign.
Fourth. the money you subscribe
will make it possible to maintain all
the social welfare work now being
carried on by the following societies,
together they have 5000 recreation
buildings, 1000 miles of movie films
100 leading stars, 1000 athletic direct
ors, $500 libraries supplying 100000
books, So hostess houses, $1,000 big
brother secretaries.
In word. you will provide the SOL
dier in foreign lands with a church,
2, theatre, n club. a school, an ath-
ietic field and a cheerful home. and
the knowledge that 'the folks back

Fifth. these seven welfare organ
izations are making possible q con-

an unconquerable army.
There is a new kind of fighter in
this war. He carries cheer and
comfort and a great big heart. His
uniform shows the emblem of some
che of these seven rganizations-
your soldier boy doesn't care which.
This new fighter IS fighting against

particularly impressive. In one was

poster For every fighter n woman
