800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Z Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly Called
upon to furnish 500 additional war
work women for France. The request
Is contained In a report Just received
by her from Col William A. Barker
Of the Saivationist forces. whom she
sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutrnent and general war relief
work with the American troops.
''We will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work Of the seven Or
ganizations, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog in vast
ahuNhiAC Aol uuiuiiH iSiltl, dLu ctlCu Is
indispensable. serving its particular
elements in its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
1--WE are Of the common people, and
we toll on practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson Of how to do it In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered 1t
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as In other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men If
they. but had the chance.
"With 1910 trained workers at the
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause Of humanity and
Liberty"
