ganizations combine their campaigns
and thus secure the greatest possible
degree Of cooperation.
1T is my judgment" said the presi.
dent, "that we shall secure the best
results In the matter Of support Of
these agencies, if the seven societies
will unite their forthcoming appeals
for funds, in order that the spirit of
the country in this matter may be ex-
pressed without distinction of race or
religious opinion in support of what
is really common service.
"At the same time I would be obllg-
ed If you would convey to them from
me very warm expression of the gov
ernment's appreciation of the splen-
did service they have rendered in min
isterfng to the troops at home and
overseas in their leisure time"
