AT NOON SESSION
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills VIII Speak
Before Citizens Committee Of
Patriots Fund.
n FAVOR OF ONE DRIVE
Must Have zoo for Sunday Campaign
and 100 for Business Section
Canvass in March.

Word was received this morning at
the patriots fund campaign headquar-
tiers that DR.. Newell Dwight Hills
would be glad to meet and talk to
those who are putting through the pa
triots' fund. At meeting Of the pub
licity committee last evening it was
decided to call a luncheon meeting of
the citizens committee at the Rock
Island club for 1918 Thursday. It is
stated that DR.. Hills has a special
message to give each and every mem
Der OF the committee and announces
that he Is especially interested in the
movement spreading over the country
having for its purpose the raising O..
war chest funds for patriotic pur-
poses
DR.. Hills, as previously announced,
will be at the Augustana college 10
the evening for his lecture on 1.-THE
Philosophy Of the German Atrocities. !"
His talk at noon will not be of the
same character scheduled at the COL
lege in the evening. His discussion
with the citizens committee deals en-
tirely with the object for which the
citizens committee is working and it
is believed that the inspiration anc
the enthusiasm which he will bring
out at this meeting will set forward
the movement many days.
The citizens committee is yery for.
innate to be able to have DR.. Hills
for this patriotic occasion and every
member is urged to be in attendance.
Special arrangements are being made
at the Rock Island club to handle the
crowd and the committee is assured
of prompt service and short session.
AS stated by chairman of the citi-
Zens' committee H. H. Cleaveland
This meeting comes in at a most op-
perfume time. as it was the intention
Of the executive committee to call a
meeting of the larger body that there
might be made to them report on the
campaigns progress and to ask for

their approval on several important
measures which they have in mind"
The campaign has gone far
enough" stated MIR. Cleaveland, ito
known exactly where we are. We
known that we must have about sever
hundred persons engaged in the Sun
day canvass which Ia scheduled t.
take place on March 10 and about
one hundred business men for the bus
mess canvass dated for March 4, 5
and s. Full details regarding these
matters will be made plain at this
Thursdays luncheons."
Sure Of Workers.
Campaign Manager F. W. Bender
stated today that the committees an
ticipated no trouble whatsoever in Sc
curing workers for the campaign as
already many Of the old time cam
paigners have been to the campaign
headquarters and announced their
willingness to work on the patriots
fund campaign. AS stated by one Of
them, Il have no objections to giving
my time to this big job, for in doing
SO l feel that l am helping to put
through about seventeen campaigns at
one and the same time, which, If dis
tributed over the entire year, prob
ably would call for many days and
hours Of personal service from both
myself and several hundred other bus
mess and professional men. The
thing about this big movement that
appeals to me strongest is that it will
actually eliminate the campaign work
for the coming year. In one stroke,
SO to speak, we are wiping the slate
clean and will have ample funds for
the maintenance of our local and war
charities for the coming year."
Men See Saving.
This is the sentiment that is ex-
pressed daily by business men every
where. They see In it great saving
Of man-power forces and the elimina
ton of economic personal service
waste which has been costly in al
most every business house Throughout,
the city.
