They've Been Fighting for Their
Htomes Since 1914
HOSE gallant men who wear horizon blue, those bronzed poilus who entered upon their fifth winter of the war they are the men who

Then you will know what the huts are meaning to the French, and what the hdts are meaning to our men over there.
It was requested by the Government of France, officially, that American maintenance of morale
be extended to the armies of the French. Cheerfully it was undertaken, in simple justice for our
splendid debt of gratitude. -
Why you should give twice as much as
you ever gave before.
THE need is for a sum 70 greater than any gift
ever asked for since the war began. The Gov
ernment has fixed this sum at $170,500,000.
By giving to these seven organizations all at once
the cost and effort of six additional campaigns is
saved.
Unless Americans do give twice as much as ever be
fore our soldiers and sailors may not enjoy during
1919 their
3,600 recreation buildings
1,000 miles of movie film
100 leading stage stars
2,000 athletic directors
2,500 libraries supplying 5,000,000 books
85 hostess houses
15,000 big-brother "secretaries"
Millions of dollars of home comforts
When you give double you make sure that 'every
fighter has the cheer and comforts of these seven
organizations every step of the way from home to
the front and back again. You provide him with a
church, a theater, a cheerful home, a store, a school,
a club and an athletic field and a knowledge that
the folks back home are with him, heart and soul!
You have loaned your money to supply their physi-
Ceil Tl(?GCls
Now give to maintain the Morale that has won the
war!
And so you see these huts today, hundreds of them; where French and Americans stand side by
side, holding out a hand of friendship to the war-worn, grizzled men whose fighting spirit was
an inspiration to tfur Yanks. Foyer du Soldat they call the hut hearth of the soldierthe
nearest approach to home in those battle-torn regions.

"The support and comfort of your Foyers," says General Mangin, "has been and will continue
to be a tremendous physical comfort and moral support, and has given the soldiers that feeling
of home which has been so much lacking."
"Your Foyers," says Clemenceau, "constantly established in increasing numbers; as great at
the front as in the rear, has rendered to our soldiers most highly appreciated service. Thanks
to your efforts, our children have found in your midst a center of distraction and comfort."
