Referring to this increase. Walter
S. Hopkins, campaign director TO-
Colorado said: In view of the faet
that the budgets for the seven par.
ticipating organizations were made
out last spring. when only a million
men were expected TO be In France
instead OF the 2.0O0.9UO already there.
II is easily seen that an Increase in
the quota was necessary
Regardless OF the increase. Mr.. Hop.
kins is confident that the quota will
be oversubscribed because of the
work already done by the organiza.

COlORADO'S EPISCOPALIAN
BISHOP ENDORSES WAR WORK
NEWLY APP OINTED BISHOP
WRITES LETTER TO PEOPLE
OF STATE

Bishop Irwin p. Johnson. who jus,
succeeded the late Bishop Olmstesd
as head of the Episcopalian Church OF
Colorado. in endorsing the drive OF tn.
United War Work Campaign says:
In providing our boys with the
comforts and moral surroundings. We
are doing no more than We ought AMI
We are contributing something TO the
morale and efficiency OF our army
The various agencies that have been
authorized by the government &c
carry out this personal touch by
which the boys are sustained and
heartened. are the agencies which We
must use TO accomplish this result
We give 10 the Red Cross to bind
up their wounds and make their suf-
iering more endurable. We give TO
the Y. NJ. C. A. or the Knights of
Columbus or the other religious
agencies. because we care for their
souls and for those little attentions
which make them realize that we ap-
preciate their efforts and that We
care. Through the Library Associs-
ton We send them the means to
while away the tedious hours In camp
and hospital.
The government. more thoughtful
imam other governments. has been
giving us this privilege. We say that
We would be willing to go over but
We eanl-then let US send to those
VINO do go over this assurance OF our
faith and generosity and sympathy.
To this object we are asked not
TO loan but TO give. The measure -
our sincerity is the limit of our gse'
crosby"

Why You Should Give Twice
as Much as You Ever
Gave Before!

The need is for a sum 20 per
cent greater than any gift ever
asked for since the world be-
gan. The government has fixed
this sum at $40. 100000.
BY giving to these seven or
ganizations all at once, the cost
and effort OF six additional cam
paigns is saved.
Unless Americans do give
twice as much as ever before.
our soldiers and sailors may not
enjoy during 1918 their:
5000 Recreation Buildings.
1000 Miles of Movie Film.
100 Leading Stage Stars.

Millions OF dollars OF home

Wheh you give uoupie, you
make sure that every fighter has
the cheer and comforts OF these
seven organizations every step
OF the way from home to the
front and back again. You pro-
vide him with a church. a the
alter, a cheerful home. n store. a
school. a club and an athletic

WAR WORK MUST CONTINUE
MOST URGENT NEED DURING
PERIOD OF. DISARMAMENT.

Whether peace comes Immediately
Br not for some months. the $l70,-
100000 asked for In the United War
Work Campaign must not only be sub
scribed. but must be heavily over
subscribed. In calling attention 10 the
aeed for this oyersubscription. John
Il. Mott. director general OF the cam
paign. stated In New York. When
budgets for the seven war work
agencies were assembled II was
thought there would not be more
than one million American sol
diers In France by November. As
AN actual fact there are already
two million fighting men over
there Moreover. at the same time. 1t
was anticipated that the total mum
Der of American soldiers on both sides
of the Atlantic by next summer would
not exceed three million. whereas our
military leaders are now preparing for
an American army before the end Of
next summer OF between four and five
million.
In addition when America entered
the war there were less than seventy
now 100000 sailors and marines and
the number will be further greatly in
creased. IL is the desire OF the seven
war work agencies to help this arm
Of the service as much as any other.
Therefore a much larger sum o.
money will be needed for this pur-
pose than now is included in the re-
spectiye budgets
Further reasons adduced by DR..
Mott to show necessity for an over
subscription were the need of extend
ing service OF the United War Work
Agency to American men and women
Industrial workers. Furthermore, he
pointed out. this same service at the
invitation OF our allies must be rend

that the crying need for the saving
work OF these organizations with the
millions of prisoners OF war. who look
solely to United War Work Agencies
for their physical. mental and moral
well being
within few weeks. DIR. Mott said the
United War Work Agencies would
stand in great need of a fund In ex-
cess Of original allotted quota because
this work will have to be continued
throughout the entire period OF de
mobilization.
Authoritative information leads me
to believe that this will require at
least fifteen months after the con-
flict ceases. 1t is during this time
that the men OF American army. navy
and marine corps will be in supreme
need OF services OF the seven orgapi-
cations. The fighting men will have
