and at the training camps, which will
spring up and bear fruit that will give
the world the first real taste of de-
mocracy.
Heroes Explain Why.
In the following words Private
Frank Ivy, of Goldsboro. N. c., sums
up what he has seen of the work of
the Salvation Army abroad. Private
wv. who was a member Of Company
Y, 167th Infantry, was severely wound
ed in the early Lattles of scissors.
While he lay on his cot at Fort Nc
Pherson hospital, waiting time to heal
the wounds inflicted by the Huns. he
was at his happiest period. as he dis
cussed the work of the Salvation Army,
both here and abroad.
When he learned Of the coming
drive in May for additional funds for
this great cause, the wounded hero said:
81 hope l am out by that time, and, If
am not, there are thousands who
would go far and wide to tell the peo-
pie of this country just what the Sal
walton Army stands for, what it did
for it's boys under shell fire. in the
hospitals. and, in fact, everywhere we
went, the Salvation Army worker was
bound to be there. This is no adver-
tising campaign, for all the boys will
have to do is to tell the truth Of this
great work and the great American
public will do the rest"
Sergeant George Henderson, Of
Jacksonville, Fla, who was wounded
at Chateau Thierry, is following the
example of Private Cook and organ
izing the discharged soldiers of Flor
ida to put over the Salvation Army
drive in his home state, as the Saliva
ton Army so ably assisted to put
over drive after drive in the cruelest
days of the great war.
I'VE doughboys know how to help,
and we are going to do it." said Ser
geant Henderson. "The Salvation
Army cared not for shot or shell, for
their only thought was to aid others
in spite of the personal risk to them
selves. They start d in the war with
us at our training camps in America
Ind remained with us until we put
the Hun back on his ground and
started him on the greatest retreat
that a losing army was ever forced to
make.
America will never know the graft
tude she owes to the Salvation Army
and the number of lives that this little
sturdy band of workers saved by their
fearless action in the greatest of all
fights"
Hundreds of statements have come
to our office from those who knew
of the Salvation Army's work in the
trenches.
There will be no vital change in the
administration of the work. The Tam
BOURNE Girl will no longer circulate
among us, however, except at devo-
ional services. The big drive is for
funds to replace this smiling lassie
and release her from collecting small
change to devote her entire time to
a work Of mercy. The people of Amer
lea will be asked to contribute once
each year instead Of all the year round
to the Salvation Army and perpetuate
its work.
Some OF the most prominent men in
the south will tour this section of the
country in the interest of the drive.
Judge j. S. Reynolds, formerly SOL
icitor general Of the Augusta circuit
and one of the best known lawyers in
the south, is chairman of the speaker
committee. He has gathered about
him men who have made good in
their respective lines and who will
speak in behalf of the Salvation Army
drive.
Among the prominent speakers who
will tour the south are: Judge Mar
Gus Beck, of Georgia; DR.. S. r. Belk,
Walter P. Andrews of Atlanta, Cliff
ford Walker, attorney general for
Georgia, Rev. James Horton, c. Muir
ply Gambler, Georgia railroad COM
missioner, Hooper Alexander, district
Attorney and many others.
The Salvation Army is not basing
it's plea for funds on it's war record.
1t has behind it in America forty
years of work as thoroughly and con-
scientiously rendered as was the work
of the army lads and lassies in the
trenches and on the battlefields of
France. l know the people of America
will help.
