COMPLETE WAR CHEST
PLEDGES, SAYS CAVANAUGH.
Jan. 20, 1919.

Jan. 20. 1919.
My Dear Mr.. Erskine:
Now that the war seems all but
technically closed, there is some de-
gree of a lessening of the popular
interest in war activities. and some
fear lest pledges formally made and
accepted in behalf OF the War Chest
may now be forgotten or neg
lected.
There should be no lack of under
standing on the part of the public
of the great need of redeeming all
pledges made TO the War Chest
while the war was actually on. The
truth is, that in virtue Of these
pledges money has already been
promised. and, indeed TO some ex-
tent already spent. by the great war
and welfare agencies approved by
the government, and represented
in the War Chest collection. II will
be not only an embarrassment for
the committee having charge of the
disbursement, but it will be an
actual failure of the community, as
we'll to make good its pledges, if
any portion OF the community
