to assist in replacing men, in these po-
sitions by women and in sending the
men to the occupations so necessary

THE WAR Z BUDGET

II one were to start with a clean slate. and taxe
plenty Of time to it. he mightiperhaps devise a plan I'M
der which the service being performed for our soldiers
by the z. NJ. C.. A. the K.tc. and the Salvation Army,
and the other organizations grouped with them, could
be performed by a single .great organization with some
resultant economies and Improvements. But we must
recognize the facts as they are and adjust ourselves to
them. ~ III
The existence Of war. and the participation or our
own nation in ii, made certain forms Of service necessary.
In the camps and environments Of this country. and
wherever our men are ito be found abroad, there Is need
that provision be made for rest and refreshment, for the
little conveniences which mean so much to men away
from home and under the strain which military duties
impose. Certain ORGANIZATIONS which have performed
splendid service at home volunteered for this work. Their
offers were accepted land they went to work, The work
has been we'll done. It is work that ia as important IN
its way as the work Of the soldiers in the trenches. and
without it the efficiency of our soldiers would be sadly
impaired.
To the average American citizen it matters not one
whit by whom this work is done, SO long as it is done,
AID done we'll. And the vast majority Of our people
are perfectly willing to support and promote it, no mat
ter whose may be the hands by which it is performed.
1t is in recognition Of this fact that those in charge
of this vast work, acting in conjunction with and with
the approval Of the president and the men Immediately
in charge Of army work, have decided to invite sub
scriptions to one great fund, which is to be apportioned
in accordance with the facilities Of each particular Or
ganization, for spending money and getting the results.
And it is for this reason that it is unwise and improper
to differentiate between the various agencies by which
the work is performed.
The soldier at the front, grimy with the smoke of
battle, hungry and weary, cares nothing as to the social
status or religious affiliations of the person who tenders
him a-cup Of coffee and a doughnut. From any hands
the refreshment is welcome.
