 HER CHARACTER
France and England Have Un- bounded Admiration for This Country, Says Dean Emery

France and England have an unbounded admiration for America and all things American" declared Dean Emery, special organizer and staff man for the United War Work campaign, to a group of Warren dis trict men at a session held in the Commercial club rooms yesterday aft eTnoon- And for my part" continued the speaker, when fine folks have an unbounded admiration for me, | am not all set up about it; rather am always afraid l will disappoint them. America must live up to her splendid reputation achieved abroad. Her war works have been the wonder of Europe Nothing like them have ever been known or dreamed of over there before. Our care and treat ment of our own soldiers and our kindness and many benefactions for all our allies and their women and children have amazed them and filled them with admiration and affection for our great and generous national heart They believe we can do any thing, and do it better than any one else
 Tn the very beginning of the war France saw our Y. M. c. A. work, and said, We want the same thing; not an imitation, but the real article. We will furnish the huts and the attend ants and the equipment, but we want you to furnish the secretaries; the idea; we want it to be the same work in spirit as well as in actuality.' The Y was the first in the field, that is all And after the two Y associa- tions came the Knights of Columbus and the Jewish organizations and the rest of the seven great war works that the world has admired and the government of the United States has recognized and given official stand ing as a necessary part of the war.
 The great drive for the United War work fund will soon begin, and l am sent here to try to tell you how fine and how necessary is this work for our soldier boys in camp here and in field over there. l wish L could tell you half of it, but the scope and the wonder of that work is beyond any mans telling and it would take too long"
 He's a man in thousand to carry this message, is MT. Emery. Pleas ant, plain. forceful, speaking straight out in a language all can understand, he goes right to the heart of it, and, better still, he makes people believe that he believes what he says. He is a New Yorker, but he speaks the southwest language He fairly glowed while he told of the fine welcome he had had everywhere in the southwest. It was a revelation to him.
 They say to me everywhere down here" he declared. tell us our quota and we will raise it: Up in Flagstaff the other day the mayor became half indignant because I was sent to his town to stir up interest in this work. He told me to move on. They would raise their quota, he declared, of their own effort and accord Of course, he was joking me, and they treated me fine up there, but it was their spirit of which I am trying to tell you to- day"
 The speaker spoke from his heart when he said: It will be easier to raise this fund at this time for this work than anything the people have been asked to do yet for this war. Easier than 1t was to sell Liberty bonds at 415 per cent interest and on gilt-edged, Gibraltar security. The boys for whose comfort and happiness and good We are raising this money have been tried since the last drive and not found wanting over there. They have made good. Belleau wood and Chateau-Thierry and the Marne and St Mihiel and the Mouse and Cambrai and the Champagne have all been written in the book Of glory since then by these boys; written with their blood on the points of their bayonets.
 Instead of seven separate drives for funds by all these seven war work organizations, this is one drive for the seven. They are working togeth- CT. these seven. hand in glove; no overlapping, and still they cannot do all there is to do. There is a Y. w. rest room now with every base hospi-
