 The Salvation Army as an organi- zation cannot be measured ty creed, a drum, a doughnut, basket of food or by street corner meetings, accord ing to Brigadier William Andrews of Hartford, head of the Army in Con- necticut and in charge of the Home Service Fund appeal for 1920 that is to be made from May 10 to May 20 to secure funds for use in peacetime re- mentioned articles have a place in the work of the Army, and all with much more besides, have contributed to it's work in peace and war. The Salvation Army did not become what the public | has found it to be, because of the war, | according to the Brigadier; the war only gave it chance to use the won | derfully flexible, automatic and ad | unstable machine which had been born in the many years of labor and toll and service for humanity. The same forces which unobserved by a people who had not visualized the Army's work were only waiting to answer any call, as had been done many times be- fore. A few crises which brought the Army to the fore in days gone by were the Ohio floods, the Halifax ex- plosion, where the Army's officer lost his life for others and the San Fran cisco earthquake. It is called the Home Service Fund Appeal" It is hopcd to obtain s10.0O0, 100000 in this free will offering, which will be used to carry on the work of sheltering be- trayed girls, giving temporary relief to men, women and children, sending mothers and youngsters out of the stitiing tenements and into the coun- try on Summer vacations, providing 2 sleeping accommodations for needy men and women, finding missing friends and relatives, helping the pov- erty-stricken, the sick, the discourag- ed and the misfit. $500 is the sum asked from Stafford and a drive for that amount will be made next week We know that Stafford will maintain it's reputation for going lover the top and respond to this appeal in a gen. erous manner.
