pie will start one weeks drive to
raise the largest amount Of money
ever given outright by any people in
the history of the world.
The drive win be new thing under
the sun. For the first time Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews, forgetting
all their differences, willsline up shout
der to shoulder, welding their individ-
ual organizations together in their
common devotion to the boys in the
cantonments and. over there. This
amalgamation Of the seven great agen-
cies engaged in war work is one Of the
fine developments which have been
brought about by the war and under
the wise guidance of President Wilson.
The seven organizations which to-
gether will make this united appeal
are the Y. M. c. A., Y. w. G. a., Ma
tional Catholic War Council and h.

War Camp Community Service, the
American Library Association and the
Salvation Army. Each Of them will
need funds this Fall; each had planned
a separate campaign for support
Now, acting on the suggestion Of the
Presidents letter of September 5, the
seven campaigns will be rolled into
one The American people will be
spared the burden of seven separate
appeals, and the nation will have an
opportunity to demonstrate splendidly
that men and women Of all Creeds at
home can work together, as men OF
all creeds over there are fighting and
dying together.
