WILL YOU HELP
TO PUT. new YORK
HIGH up ON THE
ROLL OF HONOR
AS A GENEROUS GIVER
TO A WORTHY CAUSE?

~ n WUNIHl UHUOG.
There are $4,000 business
and professional men in the
City Of New York, each one
Of whom can afford to take
a ten. dollar bill from his
purse at any time and give
it to a good cause without
missing it. J.
Suppose these $4,000
should each decide today
to give ten dollars to the
SALVATION ARMY. then
the 100000 yet needed to
keep New York City from
stacking in it's generosity to
an organization which has
done so much for everybody
will be raised.
I know there are 1899
men in this city who are
much more prosperous than
l am and can better afford
to give $1,000 where I can
give only $40, but I am 60
ing to give an extra $40 to-
day, because I wouldn't
have it on my conscience
to refuse to give my share
to the SAL VA T 10 N
ARMY fund which it rich
ly deserves because of its
unselfish performances in
behalf of humanity.
I give this extra $40 for
two reasons:
First, because it is bread
cast upon the waters.
Second, because I have
enough civic pride in New
York City to wish to see
her 60 over the top with
anything she is asked to do.
We are all talking in
public places and in our
offices, and in our social
circles, about the NEW
LIGHT now shining upon
the world and how it is
leading us to to do the
broader, better things Of
life-to do them with a
free hand and the right
spirit-so why not let us
get together and do this
big, fine thing for the
S ALV A TION ARMY,
namely, give them the
81, 100000 that they asked
us to give them?
Don't you think we ought to
do it as a matter of gratitude
to the lads and lassies who
were so glad to do so many
big and fine things for our
boys overseas and who con-
tinue their ministrations here?
Do I hear you say anything
about DEMOCRACY - that
word which bespeaks the
brotherhood of man? Sure 1
do. Then, won't you come to
the front today with your con-
tribution toward the 100000
yet to be raised before New
York's name can go into a con-
spicuous place on the ROLL
OF HONOR-the same as so
many other American cities
have already done by going
over the top days ago with
their quota toward the SAL
WALTON ARMY fund?
Won't it be very much to
the discredit of New York
City if we don't give $780,
900 to the SALVATION
ARMY?
Isn't it a very small sum for
the greatest city in the world
to give to an organization
whose work is so wonderfully
humane and helpful in all
n onptyiac of tho EIyorlJ0

Y" WILL INVESTIGATE
CHARGES OF SOLDIERS

New York, Jan. ga review OF
the year which the Young Mems
Christian Association regards as the
greatest in the history of the organ
ization in effort and accomplishment
was made public today by the asso-
ciation's war work council. The
review deals with the complaints of
canteen over-charges made by some
of the returning soldiers, refers to
the war department investigation
which, it says, exonerated the "Y"
and states that because of frequent
reiteration of these and other COM
plants by returning soldiers, John
R. Mott, general secretary of the
war work council, has asked that
the entire administration of the Y.
NJ. C. A. war program overseas be
Investigated by the inspector gen.
eral.
''It is our judgment" says DR..
Mott, "that these complaints should
be frankly and fearlessly faced. IL
we we're to ignore criticism we
would be false to our trust. 1t is
our duty to discover the .unfounded
criticism so that a patriotic organi-
zation, as matter of simple hon
esty, may not be blighted unjustly.
1t is equally our duty to discover
the well-founded criticism in order
that we may adopt a constructive
program that will obviate in our fu-
ture policy any lax administration
of the past. e
