state Of Ohio is SIS, 100000.
1T must never be said of America
that she left the slightest detail of
her great war task uncompleted, +"
continued Governor Herrick. only
those of US who have been in France,
and seen the terrible cost of her
great sacrifice, can realize what a
stupendous problems in reconstruc-
tion and rehabilitation is facing her.
In this task America must have a
part; and the American boys over
there are willing and eager to help.
1t is our duty to stand behind them
while they are standing behind the
French.
Whether victory comes next year,
or even sooner, there will be weeks
and months of waiting for the armies
during the peace discussions; and
other months of waiting or demobil-
ization. These will be, in many ways,
the most critical period of the war
for our boys. They will have leisure
wholesome entertainment which the
War Work agencies have provided
is continued with increasing effective
ness. We must see that they have
plenty of good books, and plenty of
teachers and a constant stream of
good business men going across to
lecture to them and guide their
thoughts back into the channels of
peace.
1T has been the privilege of the
seven great War Work agencies to
represent the American home, and
church and theater and gymnasium
and library and club in France. The
influence of these great institutions
will be needed in an even greater
degree from now on. Let us, as a
thanksgiving for the promise of vic
tory, make the United War Work
Campaign the greatest success of any
of its kind.
