Atlanta, tla., Nov. 4.?Even if tho
orld war were brought to a close in
few weeks, the United War Work
gencies will need a fund in excess
t $170,500,000. This fact is emhasized
in a statement just issued
y U 11. King, campaign director for
le Southwestern department, and
iiould be borne in mind by all
rorkers before and during th?
reat drive which is to be staged
ovember 11-18.
It is pointed out by Mr. King that
le work of the war work agencies
ill have to be continued during the
eriod of demobilization, and it will
e then that the strictest discipline
I
ill have to be maintained. It is
lso his belief, as well as that of Dr.
ohn R. Mott, director general of the
Jnlted War Work campaign, that
he demobilization pioeess will re- I
nire at least fifteen months ancl
rill have to he handled with great
are in order that the high standrds
that have been set up will not :
e let down.
Reports being received at national
cndquartets, he declares, indicate
hat the country is ready and willing
o over-subscribe its quota. Iowa,
he home state of Dr. Mott, has
hallenged every other state in tho
nion to a fifty per cent over-subrription.
Mr. Kng further points out that,
rhen budgets for the seven war
irork organizations were assembled,
t v.?.s thought that there would not
?e more than a million American
oldiers in France by November 1?
is a matter of fart there are more
ban two million of our flgbtipg men

nlk, the military leaders of the nalon
are now planning to place beween
three and four mill'on in Eu-ope
by next summer.
