On November Il the American peo-
 ple will start a one weeks drive to ifaise the largest amount of money
 ever given outright by any people in the history of the world.
 The drive will be new thing under the sum-, For the first time Protes-
 tants, Catholics and Jews, forgetting all their differences, will line up shoul- der to shoulder, welding their individ-
 ual organizations together in their common devotion to the boys in the cantonments and over there. This anaalgamation of the seven great agen- cies engaged in war work is one of the fine developments which have been brought about by the war and under the wise guidance of President Wilson.
 The seven organizations which to- gether will make this united appeal are the Y. M. c. A., Y. w. c. A., Ma tional Catholic War Council and K. of C., the Jewish Welfare Board, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. Each of them will need funds this Fall each had planned a separate campaign for support. Now, acting on the suggestion of the Presidents letter of September 5, the seven campaigns will be rolled into one. The American people will be
 prSA khA h,,r oA kn appeals, and the nation will have an opportunity to demonstrate splendidly that men and women of all creeds at home can work together, as men of all creeds over there are fighting and dying together. t
 Dr. John R. Mott, whom President Wilson has spoken of as one of the ablest and most useful men of his gen. eration, has been selected Director General of the drive. It Is interesting to note that Dr. MOtt's name was placed in nomination by John G. Agar of the National Catholic War Council and seconded by Mortimer l.. Schiff of the Jewish Welfare Board. The gen. eral committee having the campaign in charge contains such well known names as Raymond B. Fosdick, Chair man of the Commission on Training Camp Activities; George w. Perkins, Chairman of the Finance Committee of the U. s. Steel Corporation James F. Phelan of Hornblower and Weeks Honorable Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador to France; Cleveland H. Dodge, George Gordon Battle, Mrs Henry P. Davisoa and Frank A. Van- derlip, president of the National City Bank.
 In every city. county and town the campaign will be in charge of the big. gest men of the community.
 Together these seven organizations represent work that is staggering In its proportions They have more than 16,000 uniformed workers, standing shoulder to shoulder with the boys sv- cry step of the way from home to the front line trenches. They opsrats more than 5000 buildings and ship 500 tons of supplies to the boys in Frsncs sv- cry week.

 "Aerals," said Napoleon. "is ~ otA, q factors h war ss three to ous.". By which he meant that one man who is kept contented and happy is better than three men who are discouraged and homesick. It is the business of these seven great agencies to help maintain morale. They are keeping up the fine fighting edge of our boyA and by their ministratlOns, helping to put added power into our army and navy and so hasten the hour of victory when they will bring our boys home again.
 It is predicted by national leaders that this great Victory drive will "go ,vor fbo tnpv ip n 1o roov N-oy tho, oou |
