Nine needs necessftating carry1n-
the campaign well over the top are
given in the bulletin Of information or
fbe subject OF the work Of the seven
urssuizations. 100. 900 copies Of which
have been sent out to the Four-hinute
1Msn In every state. territory and IN.
dependency OF the United States.
These nine needs are as follows:
1--Because CT the remarkable in
crease OF the American army and OF
it's inevitable continued. Increase The
budgets OF at Least three OF the seven
organizations uniting in the forshcom-
ing campaign were bssed on data as
sensied last spring. when Il vas not
thought that there would be more
than 1.ooo. 900 American soldiers in
Frsnce By November l. AZ q matter
sf fact. the numbes there. By that date
will be z.ooo. 900. Moreover. when
these budgets we're made II was
thought that the total number Of
American soldiers on both sides Of the
Atlantic next summer would not ex-
ceea 100000. whereas our militar,
iesders are now preparing US for sa
American army before the end Of next
summer OF between 4.ooo. zoe and S.
cot. 200.
e-Because OF the marvellous expsn-
sion OF the American navy. when
America entered the var we had less
,haA 10000 men in the navy. There
are now over 100000. and the number
viii be further greatly increased Rel
stiveiy. the organizations which are
uniting in the campaign have neglect.
cd The navy. but IL Is their desire TO
help this arm OF the service as much
AS any other. and therefore . much
larger sum OF money will be needed
for this purpose than is row included
IN our respective budgets
3--Because this war. unlike other
wars. Is not alone . war OF armies and
navies. but a war Of entire peoples. In
particular. Il involves vast numbers VI
the Industrial classes. Since our nrss
nnancisi plans were announced the
olHirns OF these Industrial classes at
home and overseas have been pressed
upon az. and Il has been made clear
ihat wr must augment greatly our ef-
forts on behalf Of these miilions Of
men and women related to var indus
tries.
s-Because the burden of this war II
to fall - heavily upon the women Of
America and the Allies. This has
been true OF other wars. but even
more 10 OF this world war. The facts
concerninE the needs OF the multi
tudes OF women affected BY var condi-
flons have been pressed upon Us In
such . way a. to convince as that =
rnch larger financial provision shculc
: be made on their behalf than the bud
gets OF our Organizations contemplate
5--Bccsuse Of the comprehensive
ness Of the ministry being rvudered
the Americap army and navy and the
forces Of our Ailies. II 10 the aim Of
these agencies to place At the disposal
OF our soldiers and sailors all that is
best in American life. We represent
to them the American home. the Amer
ican school and college. the Amer
ican library. the American forum. the
phases OF American club life. the I'M
est aspects or the American stage. and
above all. the American churches and
synagogues. This Is colossal pro
gram. and necessarily calls for large
expenditure of money.
e-Because OF the continuity OF the
service we are seeking TO render. We
aim to follow the soldiers and sailors
from the time they leave their homes.
while they are in transit. while they
are ct the training camps. large and
small, while they are on their way to
the ports OF embarkation. rs well as
at those ports. while on the sea. dur
