R. C. IN Blfi WAR DRIVE
Comprehensive Campaign For Week
of November 11?Work Done by
Knights of Ccjlumbus Aprcciated
City's I'art $30,'000.
Members of the Knights of Colum
mis and all others working by direc
tion of the National Catholic War
Council, are preparing a comprehen
sive campaign for the United War
Work fund. The immediate need for
raising thirty thousand dollars in this
city is shown by the large sums spent
'.?>>? the K. of C. This great war work
ng organization has four hundred and
"ixty-oight secretaries in American
training camps and cantonments. At
these points one hundred and fifty
buildings have been constructed, fifty
?ix are under course of constiuction
ind contracts are out for more. Ap
propriations have been made in every
:amp city to develop community ser
vice. Three hundred thousand dollars
nas been expended in New York City.
A building costing five hundred thous
and dollars was erected in ttoston
and proportionate amounts spent
throughout the States. Alexandrians
kn?w that ihe Knights of Columbus
are doing here at Lyceum Hall and at
Camp Humphrey-, their efforts are
untiring and thoroughly appreciated
by the soldiers and sailors.
. The soldiers and sailors are away
from home and the social surround
ings to whic h they are accustomed
and it is necessary that every>ne help j
to support the Knights of Columbus |
and the other agencies now working
to keep up the moral standard of th->
\mei ican Army and Navy.
The Committee of War Workers of
this city will visit ;ever.v place <>f bus
iness and every home in Alexandria
luring the week beginning November
the eleventh and all will have an op
oortunity to subscribe to carry on the
activities of the seven great organi
sations now calling for(funds.
It is doubtless kn"wn in Berlin by
low that the Anverican soldier is a
-aal fighting man. He goes into bat
tle with a song on his lips and dies
with a smile in his eyes. That's mor
ale! That's the sort of thing Gene
ral Pershing and Marshal Koch have
been talking about. It is the thing
,h:;t decides battles an.l wins wars. A
letter from home helps to keep th*1
morale of the man in uniform. Meet
;ng the demands of the United War
Work Campaign keeps up the morale
of the Army and Navy. The Knights
of Columbus and-other organizations
car.not continue-the--field workers
here and in Europe without financial
support. The backing of the people
at home means-that-the soldier will
Sc sure that h"*'- >ight in fighting. It

Every man and woman wage earner
-hou'ld contribute at least one half of
