greater than its income that it has
labored under tremendous indebted

operations.

everywhere in the country being so
great that increased and new facilities
for hospitals, rescue homes and other
Army institutions called for the out

officers hope that the response to the
1920 Home Service Appeal will be such
us to permit Of the wiping out Of much
of the remaining mortgage Indebted
ness, provide for the maintenance Of
the organizations established activities
and make urgently needed extensions
and Development possible.
