Will We Come Across?

MARYLAND has raised funds to equip
her soldiers, to fit them out with mu-
nitions, to ship them and feed them
and to maintain them physically on
the fighting line. Now she must
minister to their mental needs.
Modern nations have learned how to
value morale both on the fighting line
and on the home front. The mental
tone, the moral vigor, the weIl.being
and comfort of mind have been cared
for by several organizations the y. M
C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the
Y. w. C. A., the Jewish Welfare
Board, the War Camp Community
Service, the American Library Asso-
citation and the Salvation Army in a
manner to win the admiration OF our
allies and the commentator OF Gen.
Pershing, of Secretary Baker and OF
Pres. Wilson. Their support has been
drawn separately from the generosity
of each denomination or class.
But War Work of this ministering
nature has entered a new and a re-
markable phase. Jew and Gentle,
Catholic and Protestant have merged
their activities, coordinated their
plans, and pooled their resources un-
der the banner of the United War
Work, preserving while their funda-
mental principles, but cooperating
for the American soldier boy.
Maryland is called upon to raise
81, 800 900 of the $40, 100000 ma
tional fund. The recentness of the
Liberty Loan "lend" campaign and
the prevailing epidemic are handicaps
which will serve only to stimulate
each community in the state to leave
nothing undone to raise the quota.
The appeal is even nobler it is give"
Nothing is too good for the American
soldiers, let us father and mother the
boys thru these ministering agencies.
The promise of an early peace in
no way diminishes the Importance of
this 81 100000 United War Work
Campaign, for it will be at least one
year after peace if not two years, be-
fore the soldiers can be re-shipped
from France and in that interval,
with the incentive and the discipline
of warfare withdrawn and with the
temptations multiplied, the need for
the mental and moral care of the sol
dier will be increased, a matter which
is thoroughly understood by the Am
erican authorities. Other Y. M. c.
A., Knights of Columbus, etc., drives
for funds will follow next year. The
work is so essential, SO big, so vital
that the $40, 100000 national fund
is only half of what is really needed
on all fronts. The real test comes.
United War Work gifts bear no in
terest. GIVE" is the slogan. Will
this community raise its share Nov.

started by American soldiers abroad
against prohibition and other sumptuary
laws passed by Congress and State Legis-

There has been considerable talk in

turned it down several times before by
maioritics ranging from $500 TO 10000.
