WASHED FACES OF $500 MEN.
(Topeka, Kan, Capital.)

Probably one of the staunchest
supporters of the Salvation Army in
Topeka when the boys come home
will be Walter J. Geser, former
pressman in the Daily Capital press
room, who has seen the wonderful
work Of this great organization in
France. In recent letter to friends
in Topeka, he relates some of the
things which makes him think more
of the work which the Salvation
Army has been doing for many years.

sALvATloNIsTs ARE EXPERTS,

In a recent double column editorial
devoted to an enconium of Salvation
Army War Work, the New York
Evening Journal said:
The things we are used to seeing
and hearing are often the things VIC
notice least. We are attracted by
that which is new, and we give it
more attention than the more deserv-
ing object to which we are accus-
toned.
1T is because of this trait of hu-
man nature that it is easier some
times, to get support for a cause
that is comparatively less needy than
for one that is most deserving-un-
less we are reminded forcib,y Of the
virtues that belong to the caus.,
which we know so we'll that we H.
most forget it.
with the Salvation Army-that
valiant band of sturdy soldiers-we
are all familiar. It's splendid and
disinterested work for the good Ct
the nunlDle Wdyldfer VINO mas IdlleE
under heavy burdens has become 4
matter of course. We think of it
with admiration, and subconsciously
take it for granted.
Now the public has the opportunity
to show it's appreciation for all the
benefits it has accepted so glad. y
from this great organization. And
at the same time, the opportunit!
to give real assistance to that oth.l
army-the army over there-fght
ing for Pershing for the right.
1.-THE work done by the Army !:
expert work, done by expert work
ers. Along certain lines no body O
men and women can gain such re
suits in the way of retaining IN
| fortunate human beings as can thos.
of the Salvation SITS. They know thei
subjects and have the confidence o
the objects OF their ministrations."

THANKS the s. A.
WITH POCKETS open
(Fom Stars and Stripes, Paris)

(Fom Stars and Stripes, Paris)
When the wiping out of the Sols-
sons salient becomes mere incident
in the growing list of German vic
tories that might have been there
will probably be no more item be-
ter remembered by men who were
wounded while on that little job than
the item of lemonade.
One division in particular will
thank the Salvation Army with peck
etbooks open for the carlod of juicy
yellow Italian fruit that happened TO
be near enough to scissors and 70
Chateau-Thierry wounded available in
the thick of things.
The Salvation Army had been
looking forward to hot weather, drive
or no drive, and they were getting
ready to substitute real lemonade,
with rinds and everything, for the
old reliable chocolate or the doubtful
pinard The water supply was none
too good. and when a man is hit he
wants something to drink as soon as
he can get TO II.
So when the doughboys and the
artillery and the Signal Corps began
sending representatives back to visit
the dressing stations the Salvation
Army came to the fore with those
Italian lemons, beaucoup sugar and
barrels of c,ean, cold water, which
they brought up on Ford delivery
truck Every Yank who got within
range of that lemon threw away his
cigarette and made a dive for his
tin cup.
The doctors say that a good many
who couldn't walk and who couldn'
| make a dive for their share, are go
| ing to live and go back to the States
because they got a drink that killed
their fever when they needed II
most. Lemonade is G. lifesaver iC
wound fevered men, and this partic
ular lot turned some good tricks fol
the surgeons.
Another thing that was imported
for use in the emergency was mos
