Tomorrow the first lap Of the drive
that is 10 decide the fortunes of Barre q
war chest is TO be covered. Every stone
shed in the city is TO be canvassed and
in accomplishing the task the community
war chest committee Is availing itself of
the cooperation of the manufacturers.
Due TO the painstaking work of the chair
man and his assistants, the returns from
the census taken by the school children
recently have been so accurately com.
piled that the name of every stoneshed
employe has been tabulated. The APP
peal for the support of all war charities
through the common sense medium of
the war chest has gone forth. Tomor-
rows canvass will determine just how
far the wage earners are going in this
matter of strengthening the great third
line trench. the line here at home where
the fate of our armies and navy hangs.
Enlist in the army behind the army, is
the slogan. Fill up the war chest No
army and no navy ever won war for
any people unless they felt that the peo--
pie were with them, heart, soul, blood
and pocketbook. The army and navy are
the sharpened edge of the weapon with
which we shall wipe out forever from the
world that hateful thing we have come
TO mean when we say Germany. The
weight and driving force behind the
sharp edge is the vast company lett at
home the army behind the army
Throughout the canvass it should be
borne in mind that Barre's own young
men, those who enlisted at the first call,
those who have joined the colors in the
past six months, yes, those "a young

They are to benefit by reason of the fact
that war chest money goes to the Red
Cross, the Salvation Army, the Y. M.

war charities.
