President Wilson Appeals to
Country to Back Men During
Closing Days

Perth Amboy is within $4,000 OF
her quota in the United War work
Campaign, with two days left IN
which subscriptions may be solicited.
The total now in this city is $780,
$4,000, the solicitors having collected
s8,545.49 over the week end. Every
body is urged to get in line and help
bring the drive to a successful finish
because 1t has been shown that the
money is greatly needed.
The campaign was to have come TO
an end today, but the time has been
extended for three more days all over
the country. The local committee,
however, announced that this city
would take only one extra day In the
endeavor to secure the quota OF S4o,-
900. The drive will officially end to-
morrow night at a meeting of the
captains and committees at campaign
headquarters. at which the final check
up of the teams and internal plant
committees will be made.
President Wilson sent the following
appeal to the American people to give
our men new evidence of support:
"I am sure that the entire American
people are following with eager and
responsive interest the progress OF the
United War Work Campaign.
Nov that the cessation of HOSTILE
ties has come we have entered upon a
period in which the work of our seven
welfare agercies assumes, II possible,
an added importance. The excitement
under which our soldiers and sailors
have been working has been with
drawn; their hours of leisure are nu-
merous; their temptations are greatly
multiplied and intensified.
'It is clear that TO minister to them
for all their time Is going to require
a larger financial outlay than when
they were being served for but q small
fraction of their time. Only two days
remain before the desired large over
subscription is secured.
IT cannot but believe that our peo-
pie from one end of the country to
the other will rally In generous and
sacrificial giving TO complete the FUND
and to give our men this fresh and
unmistakable evidence that we are
still behind them during their patient
and long vigil in our behalf, and In
the sole interest of completing the
high patriotic duty on which We sent
them forth"
Mr.. Spencer, who Is at the head OF
the Victory Boys and Girls drive, an
nounced that over forty have already
signed the pledge cards and he re-
quests that the boys and girls turn
their cards in as soon as possible.
The only large subscription which
has been received since Friday, is
$1,000 from the General Bakelite
Company.
