1VERAL YEAR:
OF WORK AHEAD
United War Work Organization!
Will Have Much to Do After
War Is Ended.
GREATEST VALUE THEN
American   Soldiers   Will   Then   Need
Moat the Entertainment and Diversion Supplied by These Bodies
—More Must Be Given.
.-• When he gets through fighting, let's
show him what we think of what hs
has done! Don't let Anyone tell you
that the work of these seven organizations will be over when the war is
over. That's when their greatest
ralue will come.
Today every energy of your fighter
Is bent on victory. And when it comes,
when the strain of training and fighting is over—then will come his reaction. That's when he will need most
the entertainment and diversion supplied by these organizations. That's
when he will want movies and concerts and ball-games and track meets
to keep up his spirits In the inevitable
delay before he comes home.
Don't forget that it will take many
months to .bring back our army from
France.
Plans for the work of these organ!-
rations during the period of demobilisation were mapped out long before
the prospect of peace was even as
near as it is today.
There will be a regular "university
In khaki" in France, for one thing.
Our fighters will be able to make
profitable use of their leisure—to fit
themselves for bigger things when
they get back into civil life, for better
Jobs. They have learned to learn in
the army and navy. Text books, lectures and class-rooms must be pro-
Tided to help them prepare ter ad-
Tancement after they return. The
country's greatest educators are in
Uniform now, ready ter this work.
And besides, don't forget that we all
•re going to owe the integrity of our
country to your fighter and the boys
like him. We sent them away with a
cheer. We are going to welcome them
home with a roar! And we are going
to look after them just as carefully
8.11 the, way back as we looked after
them all the way over.
Whenever peace comes, the hardest
Job of these seven organizations win
come with it. The nearer It eomes,
the more you must give.

4,000 "Y" MEN NEEDED
AT ONCE IN FRANCE
Secretaries   Will    Be  Required   Mors
Than  Ever When Fighting
Ceases.
With our brothers and sons overseas simply begging for more Y. M.
C. A. secretaries that the service of
tTie "Y" may be extended into out-of-
the-way places, and with the earnest
pleading of the C_echo-Slovaks- and
Russians for more "Y" men and still
more, the need of new recruits in "Y"
Tanks has become imperative.
"Four thousand more men are needed today in France alone," declared
Morton M. Newcomb, head of- the recruiting service of the Army Y. M.
C. A. at Minneapolis.
"When fighting ceases, the American forces will need 'Y' secretaries
as never before to prevent the undoing
of the good work that has helped produce the splendid morale of our army,
and to aid in the reconstruction work
that must go on Indefinitely.
"The Czecho-SIovaks look upon the
T' secretary as though he were their
leader. They model their ways after
hirrtT Comb their hair as he combs
his. Adopt his mannerisms; In short,
he is their ideal an_| his Influence. es=
tablishes law and p,rdar. }n the com,-
jnunlty where he is located. He has
the consideration, friendship and confidence of all factions. For this reason, it is thought that the American
T. M. C. A. secretaries will undoubtedly have a great deal to do with laying the foundations of the future agricultural, commercial and econbmio
Structure of the country.
"A.terrific responsibility rests upon
the American people at this trying
time that they may not be found wanting in response to the simple trust
■Which is placed in them by these overseas neighbors whose sanity and poise
ire must help preserve."

"1   found   your   books   everywhere,
from the seaport bases to the front
line  trenches,"  so   Raymond   B.   Fosdick, Chairman of the Commission on
Training Camp Activities, report ed to
the  authorities  of the  American  Library Association on his recent return
from France.    "I found them in dugouts thirty or forty feet below ground, j
in   cow-barns   where    shrapnel   had
blown parts of the roof away, as well
as in substantial huts and tents far j
back  from  the  firing  line.    1  found
them also in hospitals and dressing
stations;  in scattered villages in the
training area where our men are bil- '
leted,  and  even  in  remote  parts  of
France where our forestry units are
carrying on their lonely but essential j
work--. ,^x\
"And they were all well worn books |

will be a reading army that we shall

"Do what needs to be done November 11 to 18, when the United
War Work drive is pulled off, like
an American soldier! It's the
finest simile I know," said a returned K. of C man who spent
a year with the boys "over there."
"Walk up to do your share for
them with your head high, your
step firm and a cheerful smile on
your lips—as our boys march Into
the hell of flame In France!
"Then give as they give on the
battle-field—without a thought of
self, unstintedly, whole-heartedly,
gloriously!
"The more generous we are
new, the more Joyous will be their
home-coming jffter peace is declared," said this returned welfare
worker. "ThesVboys of ours will
probably be needed overseas for
at least two or three years. And
God only knows how vital is the
need that this saving welfare service be extended during that period. It means health, sanity, all
that is wholesome in their lives.
"Stay with them with your
wholehearted support until they
come walking down the gangplank.
"And thank God you've got a
chance to do something concrete
for them!"

the usual term for representative Is

Following are endorsements of four
leading Jews, prominent in public affairs of the United States, who give
their full approval to the United War
Work Campaign for funds with which
to bring the touch of home to American soldiers:
Louis Marshall: "The union of all
these organizations in making a joint
appeal to the American people for the
funds necessary to carry on their essential activities, is the most inspiring
demonstration of a homogeneous people that the world has ever witnessed.
It will not only result in securing the
means for effective work, but every
dollar contributed will help every man
who is fighting under our flag for the
entire American people."
Dr. K. Kohler, president of Hebrew
Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio: "It
seems as if out of this cruel warfare
a new spirit of humanity is evolving.
Here is our great opportunity to manifest the broad humanitarian spirit of
Judaism; let us not miss It! Let the
Jewish Welfare Board lead in this
great campaign!"
Henry Morgenthau: "American boys
of every race and religious belief are
fighting shoulder to shoulder in trench
and field, and war workers representing every faith are working together
behind the lines to give the boys home
comfort and good cheer and spiritual
guidance.. Support of the United War
Work Campaign is support for our
own."
Abram I. Elku_: "Military experts
I have talked with attribute the indomitable spirit of our troops largely
to the efforts of the seven great organizations which co-operate for the
morale and happiness of the fighters.
They are as important as the big guns
and airplanes, fivery dollar given to
the United War Work Campaign is a
dollar invested in morale. Let us all
dtand behind the war workers behind
the men behind the guns!"
SENDS BOYS iESSASE
Governor Gives Greeting to Minnesota Lads Over There.i-
Tells Them They Will Be Given Fair
Chance  When  They   Return—Endorses United  Campaign.
"The people of Minnesota are proud j
of their boys at the front. I have yet j
to hear of a Minnesota boy in the ex.!
peditionary forces guilty of any dis-j
graceful act, but the stories of hero-!
ism and sacrifice are so numerous!
that they become commonplace."
This is a part of the message that!
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist has sent!
to the Minnesota boys at the front,!
through Cass Connaway, an Indian-!
apolis attorney, who will carry the!
greeting overseas.
Connaway adjourned1 his practice j
for the period of the war to don the!
Y. M. C. A. uniform and follow in thej
wake of his two soldier sons. He willj
visit the huts, hotels, shelters and!
dugouts of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W.j
C. A., War Camp Community Ser-j
vice, National Catholic War fcouncilj
(K. of C), Jewish Welfare Board,j
American Library Association andj
Salvation Army—the seven accredited!
welfare agencies that have joined inj
a United War Work Campaign, No-!
vember 11-18, to raise $170,500,000 to
carry on their work for soldiers, sailors and marines at home and abroad.
Wherever he comes across a man
from Minnesota, Connaway will give
him the home folks' greeting.
Governor Burnquist's message
reads:
"Tell the boys that whatever stories
they may see in the newspapers about
seditious utterances, about slackers of
various kinds, about war profiteers,
are exceptional cases and in no way
represent the average American.
These happenings are printed as news
simply "because they are exceptional.
I am convinced that it is unfair to say
that any class or race of people of airy
section of our country is disloyal. The
instant and ungrudging response
which our people have given to all
war demands is proof of this. They
have subscribed to all three Liberty
Loans, they have given more than
was asked to the Red Cross, Y. M.
C. A. and other war funds, and they
have without complaint obeyed the requests of the food adminitration for
the production and conservation of
food.
"Tell the Minnesota boys also that
everything possible will be given to
give them a fair chance when they
get home. I am glad to see that not
only the federal .government, but leading men all over the country are already taking up the problem of getting the men in our army back into
the civil life with the least possible
har dslflp. I shall be glad to co-operate
in that work in any way I can."

GREAT  EFFORT   FOR  WOMEN
Taught to Industrial Women of Franco
by Y. W. C. A.
To help establish the position of
French women in industry—to bring
to them a realization of their economic responsibility and independence, which American womanhood
regards as its natural heritage, is one
of the purposes of the Y. W. C. A., the
only distinctively woman's organization among the welfare agencies united to raise $1707-00,000 in the great
drive to be held November 11-18. A
large portion of its allotment from the
total fund will be used for the enlargement of the facilities of its foyers, where French girls are learning
the industrial value of leadership, executive, initiative and co-operation. A
Blue Triangle worker at one of thess
foyers, in writing of the work, says:
"We   cannot   fully    appreciate    th*
privilege of working with these French
women and girls.   Along with the rest
of  tho world,  through  the  ordeal  of
this war, they are learning many lessons of sympathy and courage, of cooperation    and    leadership—and    the
value of these things is the new place
accorded to women for the first time.
In  France,   there   are   comparatively!
few  women  in   administrative   posi-j
tions.    We are training up leaders of!
women, and I hope that when the time j
comes to go home to America, we ma.  !
slip out unnoticed, as far as the work]
itself   is   concerned.     The   girls   ar«j
now thinking and planning by them-j
selves,  with very little outside direc-i
tion, and they are very efficierft.  They j
will  need  our  help  more  than  ever I
when hostilities cease."

LEMONADE SAVES MANY LIVESJ
Salvation   Army   Lassies   Make   and
Serve   It to Soldiers.
Lemonade furnished to wounded j
American troops during the fighting
■car Chateau-Thierry saved hundreds
Of lives, say surgeons at the front,
owing to the soothing drink fending
off the fever that attends serious
wounds at the critical moment.
This precious ministry was the work
of three Salvation Army lassies who
prepared the lemonade and served it
while under fire, without a sign of
fear.
"They were working in an exposed
position with shells exploding here
and there, but they paid no more attention to them than you might to the
fcarking of a Pomeranian pup. They
moved about amoug the wounded r.ud
supplied each with lemonade which,
to their parched palates, was the nectar of the gods."
This is the purpose of the War Welfare Campaign—to furnish funds for
Just such merciful service as tlieso
given by welfare workers of one ot
toe seven parUciufttlng agenclet.
