HELD SEVEN WAR VI Ml AOEMGIES INTO RELIEF ARiilY Great Organizations Which Are Helping to Keep Up the Morale of Fighting Millions Unite in Campaign for $170,500,000. With millions of American men on war fronts, In training camps and on the seas and with thousands of Ameri can women on foreign soli, all engaged In the stupendous task of making the world safe for democracy, a great duty devolves upon those who remain In the United Slates, the duty of Bend log Home to those who have put Home behind them for the period of the war, The agencies through"whlch this can be accomplished are Joined In the United War Work Campaign. From being given the cigarette or chocolate bar, with which he stays his hunger in the fury of battle, to the theatrical entertainment or the ath letic games, which relax him Into nor mal comfort after weeks of terrific combat, the American fighter Is de pendent upon the continued efforts of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the National Catholic War Council and K. of C.j the War Camp Community Serv ice, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. To carry' on this work the combined welfare organiza tions are seeking a fund of $170,500, 000. The Y. M. C. A. provides MS huts In American training camps and more than 800 In the war zone as centres which the fighters can use as clubs, schools, theatres, stores, churches, li braries and writing rooms. More than 7,000 men and women had been sent overseas or approved for overseas work by early autumn and 3,822 were serving In American camps at home. Y. M. C. A. huts are the canteens of the American Expeditionary Force and are the theatres where the American entertainers, sent oyer by the "Y," ap pear. Noted Amencai pimiic men ana clergymen speak in the huts. Classes are conducted there. Millions of letters are written there on paper provided free by the "Y." Physical directors of the "Y" teach and spread mass ath letics, using material furnished free by the organization. The Y. W. C. A does similar work for the thousands of American women In ' war work overseas signal corps telephone operators, nurses and French munition workers. It provides cafeterias, rest and recreation centres, entertainment and reading for the,se women and girls. - - - The Y. W. C. A.'s outstanding con tribution to soldier welfare work In training camps was the establishment of Hostess Houses, where the soldier or sailor may receive his mother, wife, sister or sweetheart In the surnound- lngs and atmosphere of the best homes. The National Catholic War Council co-ordinates all Catholic welfare work In support of the government and through the K. of C. provides club houses for our fighters In all Ameri can training camps, as well as having seventy-flve centres In France and three In England. In their huts the K. of C. provides entertalningment, movies, boxing bouts, educational work, religious services, free station ery, reading matter and writing rooms. In France their rolling canteen ac companies the American army, their secretaries march with the troops, giv ing away cigarettes, cookies, choco lates, soap, and towels. The K. of C. had 300 workers In France at the beginning of autumn, with 450 more passed by the govern ment and 200 others signed up. At the same date they had 468 secretaries In American training camps, 150 build ings, fifty-six more In the course of erection and contracts let for fifty more. . War Camp Community Service functions exclusively In America, its special mission being to "surround the camps with hospitality." In place of leaving the soldier or sailor to the promiscuous companions and diver sions formerly his lot, the organiza tion obtains for him the best to be had In communities adjoining camps or through which he passes. W. C. C. S. obtains for him Invita tions to dine, bathe or spend the day in the best homes. It introduces him to the best women and girls at social gatherings, church entertainments, theatre parties. It arouses communi ties to provide concerts, athletic con tests nnd other wholesome diversions for tie soldier, anjl" to drive out or discourage the vicious elements which have been historic camp' followers. The Jewish Welfare Board Is corre lating the strength and purposes of 100,000 Jewish soldiers, sailors and marines with that of the Gentile sol diers. The board teaches the English language, American civics and Ideals to thousands of young Jewish men who were Inducted into service after only a few years' residence In this country. While safeguarding his re-! liglous rites, the board assists In the process of wlding the Jewish soldier into the solid American unit and In bridging over the differences between him and the others. I The American Library Association Is providing reading matter for every American soldier, sailor, marine and prisoner of war. In addition to gath ering and forwarding three million CE THAT WIHS THE SOLDIER HEART Fred Lockley, Y. M. C. A., Tells of the Gratitude of the Boys , at the Front. "One of the discoveries men are making over here," Fred Lockley, of the Y. M. C. A. and of Portland, Ore gon, writes from London, "is that more pleasure can be had out of giv ing than getting. Many a man who has spent money freely in the old days to buy pleasure is finding that he gets more pleasure over here by the spend ing of one's self In the service of others. "A few months ago I went out with a fellow Y, M. C. A. secretary to hunt up out-of-the-way detachments of troops. A stable guard here, a ma chine gun company there, a platoon somewhere else. We carried our goods In an automobile. We had plenty of writing paper and envelopes for free distribution, and chocolate, cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco, cigarettes, razor blades, tooth paste and things of that kind for Bale.' American war service workers were busy everywhere. We found Sal vation Army lassies making doughnuts for the boys and K. of C. secretaries giving help. Books furnished by the American Library Association were to be seen on all sides. "Hearing firing at a distance, we drove down the road and found a score or so of men at machine gun practice. The officer gave the men half an hour recess to buy goods. "At another place we came In sight of a lieutenant drilling a platoon. I said to the lieutenant: 'How soon be fore you ..dismiss the company? We have Y. M. C. A. goods for stile.' "He said: 'Right now. Sergeant, dismiss the company!' "And ten seconds later the company was in line waiting to buy goods from!, our traveling 4Y.' Grateful Is no name for It. The men can't do enough to show their gratitude." Why You Should Give Twice What You Did' Before The govirnment has fixed the sum needed for the care of the1 men in the service at $170,500,000, Unless Americans give twice as much s ever before our soldiers, sailors and marines In 1919 may not enjoy their 3,600 recreation buildings 1,000 miles of movie fllnn 100 stage stars 2,000 athletic directors 2,500 libraries supplying , 3,000,000 books 85 hostess' houses 15,000 "Big Brother" sec retaries Millions of dollars of home comforts Give to maintain the morale that is winning the war now Florida's Potential Wealth.
