his or her ability.
This helpfulness and efficiency
has proven a powerful aid to content
ment and fighting spirit in the Navy.
THE Department is DESTROYS that
your excellent work be continued
and that the Naval service, whether
| the country be in peace or at war,
have the benefit of your splendid CO.
operation. There is very constant
need for your services"
Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain.
From all sides / hear the most
glowing accounts of the way in which
your people have added to the com
fort and welfare of our soldiers. To
me it has always been a great joy to
think how much the sufferings and
hardships endured by our troops in
all parts of the world have been les
sened by the self sacrifice and deyo-
| ton shown to them by that excellent
organization, the Salvation Army"
| General Joffre of the French Army:
There is not one French soldier
| who does not remember with CRATE
| full emotion what the women of the
Salvation Army have done to soften
his suffering. Along the whole front,
as well as in the stations in the back
areas and in the bomDarded sectors,
he knew he had only to knock at the
door of the Salvation Army huts to
be sure to be received always and at
all hours as friend by people with
smiling faces"
Major General Edwards:
THE Salvation Army lassies served
with the Yankee Division The YD,
to man, is with them | wish them
every success and bespeak for them
all support. And know that neither
| nor the men of the Yankee Division
will ever forget their loyal, devoted
service throughout the campaign in
France. We are with the Salvation
Army to put this drive over the top"
Major General Barnett, comman-
dant of the United States Marine
Corps:
'As commandment of the Marine
Corps, whose officers and men are
daily giving testimony of what the
Salvation Army workers dangerous
and loving ministrations meant to
them in the dark days of 1913, ex-
tend my heartiest thanks to that Or
ganization and my best wishes to
those who are lending assistance to
it in the forthcoming campaign"
There are countless other messages,
among them messages from all the
New England senators, congressman,
governors and the mayors of most
New England cities. Then there are
messages from the heads of all the
fraternal organizations.
The army Of volunteer workers in
the drive includes thousands upon
thousands of men and women. There
will be rallies daily in all different
parts of the city. The speakers will
be enlisted men who served overseas,
men Of the YD and other soldiers,
sailors and marines Stands for
these rallies will, in some instances,
be replicas of Belleau Woods, the
Argonne and other battlefields i'm
mortalized by the YD.
Girls and women, under the direc-
ton of the chairman Of the different
committees of the Woman's Division,
win go about through the city's
streets. Then, for the hotels, pro-
grammes of the most interesting kind
have been arranged. There will be
music and singing, some by Salvation
Army lassies who were with the YD.
A big feature of the drive will be
"Doughnut Day'-next Wednesday. On
that day everywhere in New England,
throughout the country, indeed, Sal
walton Army lassies and other girls
and women who have volunteered
will sell Salvation Army doughnuts--
doughnuts made from the same recipe
as those doughnuts the Salvation
Army lassies made and carried under
fire to the hungry doughboys in
France
The purpose of the drive Colonel
Clifford sums up in these words:
The Salvation Army has done
much, all it could, for humanity. 1t
desires to do more The war is over.
The stage is set for new play, based
on theme as old as the eternal
hills. 1t is theme that has to do
with the happiness of a man, WON
an child, with the things that 20
to make life tragedy or long path
of contentment.
'sThe Salvation Army, il the drive
is successful, will be able to expand
able to help and rescue more of Bos-
toms and New England's unfortu-
mates. Those who understand the far
reaching scope of our army of mercy
will give and know that they have
vital part in helping the man who Is
down, but never out. And SO our
campaign for the Salvation Army
