THE SALVATION GIRLS IN THE
FRONT LINESs

Editorial in Atlanta Constitution
What is the Salvation Army doing
in the war zone?" someone asked
me
The War Work of this organiza-
ton has been, quite limited, Of
course, as it has not been provided
with sufficient funds, nor has 1t had
the organization to carry on extern
sively as have some of the other or
ganizations; but l make this obser-
vation in France-wherever the Am
erican soldiers can go the Salvation
girl unhesitating will CO.
The work has been very large.y
confined to the wounded, or to the
limping columns that emerge from
the trenches and no service render.
ed to the boys over there has appeal
ed more to the hearts and souls u
these suffering men than that of the
Salvation Army
The women of the Salvation Army
have bodily aided in carrying wound
ed and attending them in the dress
ing stations. They have established
rest rooms at the very front, ire
quently under shell fire, and hay.

word OF spiritual comfort to the dy

SOMETHING INFINITELY NOBLE
(By Jim Dash, in Riverside, CAL,
PreSa1

(By Jim Dash, in Riverside, CAL,
Press.)
Are you one of those who laugh
at the Salvation Army?
Then he ashamed!
Their religion may not be yours
or mine; We may disapprove of the
jazz music of tambourine and acc6r-
dion; we may not like these mixed
with our religion. But these peoples
are getting results. They are liter
ally working to beat the devil-and
they're doing it pretty often, too
They get under peoples skins.
"Over there the. outposts of the
blue clad Army are furnishing hot
coffee and doughnuts to the boys or
the fighting lines, and according tc
reports from the front the Allied
soldiers are for them to a man. Over
here they march along the street:
and stop at any convenient corner
where they sing hymns and tell tht
old, old stories Of the Bible. AM
the passersby stop and listen an
look-and laugh, some of them. Blu
others drop coins into the tamboC.
Inc which Is passed among tn
crowd
To me there Is something patheti
and pit!ful-and infinitely noble abou
| these men and women of the Saliva
ton Army. Some of them are OIL
men with snow-white hair; some ar
thin, labor-worn women; and som
are fresi, checked young girls. Gu
of the face of each of them, though
shines that high and holy purpos
which has been the motive power q
every crusader since the time of tn
great Wayshower.
Don't laugh at them, folks, they'r
doing good, and doing 1t against tn
heavy odds of limited means. They'y
fighting an uphill fight, Let's bel
them!

Huge preparations for making .
happy Christmas for our boys over

Shipped from the headquarters OF
the army were gigantic crates con-
tanning all manner of festive articles

huts of the Army in France into
sparkling colorful holiday centers.
For the huts in which the soldiers
in the camps are entertained the ar
my sent over only the Christmas
tree trimmings.
THE boys will get their own
trees" said Brigadier We!te. They
may not be pine trees, but they can
be depended on to get something
to put the trimmings on"
For the sick boys in the hospitals
the Army sent over a thousand lit
tie Christmas trees which fold up
and pack neatly and are light
enough to rest on the end of an in
valid's cot without being burden.
The patriotic dolls to go On the big
trees in huts or hospitals will after
