800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EvangeIlne Booth
Says War Relief Wns
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
q Of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
Is contained in q report just received
by her from Col William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
1--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
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is q vital cog in vast
machine for human relief, and each 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 a 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 it
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 II
they but had the chance.
with 1910 trained workers at the
front, operating from 42O huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do it's
best for the cause OF humanity and

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART.

Some observers think that the most characteristic thing about the Ameri- can soldiers in France, something which astounds the enemy and excites the aihiration of our allies, is the capacity of the American soldiers to do Individual thinking and fighting The German fights successfully only in mass formation, in organized bodies, while every American soldier has an initiative and independence of action which gives him remarkable efficiency in open fighting. They are not senseless cogs, but each is an individual working unit in great fighting machine.
 Every American at home should feel an individual responsibility and do his or her individual part in winning the war. There is not an American citizen who cannot help win the war. The Fourth Liberty Loan Drive, which begins September 28, offers a great opportunity for concerted action and for individual action, and the loan will be g tremendous success if each American will do his or her individual part as each American soldier in France does his part. Our soldiers deserve such support from the people at home.

nish food, ammunition and instru-
 ments of war. Our duty doesn't cease there. To do only that which self protection de- mands would be to smear American ideals with a blotch that could never be eradicated. Those boys-not all of them-are coming back home some day-and soon, we hope. When they do, what are they going to find here-business and industrial disorder? Patriotic bombast and blare of brass bands alone would be a mighty rick ety conveyance for our gratitude to them. Bare words of praise will not suffice.
 They'll want to slip back into civil life-industrial life-business life, and we've got to make place for them.
