D. C. PATRIOTS GET
READY FDKWM
V
Asked to Exceed Quota in
i, Campaign for Soldiers'
Hv Comforts.
$800,000 GOAL SET HERE
With Its customary spirit of patriot
ism and enthusiasm Washington Is
making ready for the starting of the j
united war work campaign and to
furnish its share of the $170,504,600
to make the men in America's fight
ing forces happy and comfortable.
Plans already have been made for
a lively and spirited drive here. Many
prominent business and professional
men have been included In the per
sonnel of the various committees
which will manage the drive, and the
early indications are that the Na
tional Capital will maintain the glori
ous record it has established in past
liberty loan and war savings and
Bed Cross drives.
Solely for Belief.
This large sum is*solely for relief
work now being done by the seven i
recognized war relief agencies?the
T. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A, National
Catholic War Council and Knights of
Columbus, War Camp Community
Service. Jewish Welfare Board. Sal
vation Army and American Libraries
Association.
The goal to be reached in Washing
ton has been set at >800,000, but the j
committee managing the local drive is
sanguine in its belief that when the ;
smoke of battle has cleared away aft
er the week's campaign It will be
found that this city has exceeded that
amount by more than 60 per cent.
Urged to Exceed Quotas.
An committee chairmen throughout
the country have been instructed by
John R- Mott, national director gener
eral of the united war work cam-1
paign, to make every endeavor to ex
ceed their respective quotas by at |
least .50 per cent. This oversubscrip- !
lion will be necessary, Mr. Mott stated ;
in a telegram received today at the j
local headquarters. He explained that
otherwise the seven organizations, in
cluding those with the largest dudg
ets. will run out of funds before
next Jdne and another campaign for
funds will be necessary. He explained
that'an oversubscription is being eag
erly sought rather than a specific in
crease in the amount set for the gen
em drive.
31 ass Meeting- at Liberty Hut.
The first gun of the campaign in
Washington will be fired, so to speak,
next Sunday afternoon, when a large
mass meeting will be held at Liberty
Hut, which will be presided over by
Bishop Shahan, rector of the Catholic
University of America.
A number of prominent men will
address the meeting, and each will
tell of the great need of the war fund
and about the work being done by the
seven organizations united in the
drive, both in this country and in and
behind the fighting lines in France
and Italy?in fact, wherever Ameri
can troops are now bearing arms.
Among the speakers on this occa
sion will be Capt. Julius L Peyser of
the Jewish Welfare Board; Dr. Frank
P. Hill, president of the American Li
brafy Association; Charles Whitehair
of the Y. M. C. A., who has been for
more tnari a year engaged in that or
ganization's work in Palestine and
oa the western front, and Bishop
Shahan.
Monster Parade Is Planned.
JL monster parade to be featured
with floats representing the various
organizations united In this drive is
being planned to be held two days be
fore the official opening of the cam
paign. Detailed plans for this event
are now being completed. It will be
held on Pennsylvania avenue and will
start at the Peace Monument and, ac
cording to the committee in charge, of
which Joseph Stoddard is chairman,
will be more than a mile in length.
Under the direction of Miss Su
sanna Cocroft of the housing and
health division of the War Depart
ment plans are being worked out for
an immense bonfire celebration with
fires represeiuing the various states
of the nion and the seven organiza
tions united, to be held on the ellipse
during the week of the drive.
Mrs. Robert Lansing, wife of the Sec
retary of State, who will captain a
team of workers in the coming drive,
will hold a reception for team cap
tains and directors this afternoon at
her home. 1523 ISth street northwest,
at 5 o'clock. Charles Whitehair. re
turned recently from the western
front, will be the speaker. In co-op
eration with Dr. Walter S. Harban of
the committee on clubs, officials of the
golf clubs of the District are planning
a concerted drive on the pocketbooks
of golfers and the sport program is
being worked out in a comprehensive
manner. Georgetown University's
foot ball team will probably meet the
team of the Maryland State College
on the gridiron for the benefit of the
fund during the week of the drive.

When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again
What Will YOUR Answer Be?
Will you be able to look him in the eye and say: "Old
man, I've backed you to the very limit?"
Will you blush-if he asks how much of your money
you have LOANED to our Government?
Will you be able to PRODUCE if he asks to count
your WAR SAVINGS STAMPS ?
Men and women of Washington, there can be no side
stepping the question of PERSONAL RESPON
SIBILITY.
Either you are doing ALL in your power to win, or
you are not If by the exercise of reasonable econ
omy you can afford to buy some WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS, it is your plain duty to do so.
Remember, you are not giving your money away when
you buy WAR SAVINGS STAMPS?you are
merely loaning it on the best security in the world
at 4% interest, compounded quarterly.
Redeem your WAR SAVINGS STAMP pledges at
