THIS Is the Army Shoa, for Worthy Cause
Array Of High Officials
Is Supporting Benefit
BY Marearet Germond.

gency Relief takes over the
matter of getting the insurance
which is due the beneficiaries.
Sometimes the families of men
on the fighting front are faced
with temporary financial crisis
arising from unavoidable and
unforeseen causes, and in such
emergencies the Army Emer-
gency Relief stands ready to
make loans which the recipients
later repay. No interest is charged
on these loans and repayments
may be made in small INSTALL
ments arranged not to overtax
the ability of the borrowers to
pay.
The Army Emergency Relief,
in fact, is an institution which
renders, as far as public-spirited
citizens make it possible, its aid
to the families and dependents
Of the men in uniform who
through their services to their
country are unable to meet the
disruptions and emergencies at
home which have been created
by their response to the call to
arms.
Working in close cooperation
with the American Red Cross and
also with the welfare organiza-
tions, the Army Emergency Relief
does not replace the work of
either. It's job is one of meeting
emergencies due to the exigencies
of war and its plea for funds to
carry on this job should meet
with a generous response from
Washington's citizenry.
Gen John j. Pershing is hon
orary president of the Army
Emergency Relief, and its ex-
ecutive director is Maj. Gen.
Irving J. Phillipson. Mr.. Robert
P. Patterson, the Undersecre-
tary OF War, is the president,
and other officers are the two
Assistant Secretaries of War,
Mr.. Robert H. Lovett and Mr..
John J. Mccoy.

war population as well as its
own citizens Thursday evening
when the gala motion picture of
Irving Berlins famous show,
This Is. the Army" will be pre-
sented for the benefit of the
Army Emergency Relief at the
Earle Theater.
Diplomatic, official and resi-
Dental society, plus an imposing
number of high ranking officers
OF the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps who will attend the pre-
miere, give assurance of an i'm
pressive support, but there will
be room also for scores of Wash
ington's temporary residents to
participate in a service that gives
to our fighting men the comfort
of knowing that their families
will not suffer want. In addition,
the occasion affords the very
satisfying experience of combin-
ing an evening OF pleasure with
. good deed accomplished.
The Army Emergency Relief
stands back of the family of a
fighting man whose services to
his country may cause finan-
cial crisis in his domestic affairs.
II serious medical difficulties be-
set his family at time of finan-
cial distress, the Army Emer-
gency Relief insures proper care.
If during the period of induction
an unbreachable discrepancy oc-
ours in the family budget, the
Army Emergency Relief assists.
Pay days for men in the serv-
ices are sometimes delayed, and
for those who are far removed
from their homes these delays
may result in serious difficulties.
Again. the Army Emergency Re-
lief can be depended upon to
tide the family over the days
Of distress.
When a fighting man is
wounded in line of duty the

for his family the insurance
