1 With millions of American men on
war fronts,.in training camps, and on
the seas and with thousands of Ameri
can women on foreign soil, all engaged
In the stupendous task of making the
'world safe for democracy, a great dui j
devolves upon those who remain in
:the United States,-the duty of send
ling Home to those who have put ?onif
?behind them for the period of the war
?Tile agencies through which this cai
?be accomplished are joined in thi
i United War Work Campaign.
. From being given the cigarette OJ
I chocolate bar, with which he stays lii?
'hunger in the fury of battle, to th?
'theatrical entertainment or the ath
iletie games, which relax him into nor
i mal comfort after Weeks of terrlrh
combat; the American lichter is de
.pendent upon the continued efforts ol
the Y. M. C. A., tho Y. W. C. A., th?
National Catholic War Council and K
of C., the War Camp Community Serv
!ice, the Jewish Welfare Board, tin
'American Library Association and th?
' Salvation Army. To carry on thi;
work the combined welfare organiza
lions are seeking a fund of $170,500,
;ooo.
, The Y. M. C. A. provides 53S huts ir
.American training camps and mon'
'than SOO in tbe war zone as cent rei
1 which the fighters can use as clubs
[schooist, theatres, stores, churches, li
libraries and writing rooms. More thai
7,000 men and women had been sen
overseas or approved for oversea]
?work by early autumn and wen
?serving In American camps at home.
! Y. M. C. A. huts are the canteens o!
! the American Expeditionary Force and'
jare the theatres where the American
.entertainers, sent over by the "Y," ap
(pear. Noted American public men and
?clergymen speak in the huts. Classes
j are conducted there. Millions of letters
(are written there on paper provided
?free by the "Y." Physical directors ol
. the "Y" roach and spread mass ath
j letics, using material furnished free
?by the organization.
The Y. W. C. A. does similar work
j for the thousands of American women
. in war work overseas-signal corps
(t?l?phone operators, nurses and
! French munition workers. It provides
I cafeterias, rest and recreation centres.
. entertaiirment and reading for these
I women aud girls.
j The Y. W. C. A.'s outstanding con
I tribution to soldier welfare work in
.training camps was the establishment
! of Hostess Houses, where thc soldier
or sailor may receive his mother, wife,
sister or sweetheart in the surround
ings 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-five centres in France and
three in England. In their huts the
K. of C. provides entertainingment,
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 wi^i 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 46S secretaries
in American training camps, 150 build
ings, fifty-six moro in the course ol
erection and contracts let for fifty
more.
War Camp oornmunity Service
functions exclusively in America, its
special mission bein? 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 tho 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 and other wholesome diversions
for the soldier, and 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 fev. years' residence in this
country. While safeguarding his re
ligious rites, the board assists In-the
process ol welding the Jewish soldier!
into the solid American unit and in
bridging over the differences between
him and the others. |
Hie American Library Association ls
providing reading matter for every
I America.", soldier, sailor, marine and
j prisoner of wnr. In addition to gath-|
gering und forwarding three miiiioD,
books eootriboted by the American
people the association bought 500271
books, most!y technical, o? which 19S,
267 were sent overseas. More than
L500.000 books of all kinds have been
assigned to libraries in Y. M. C A.,
K. of C. or Salvation Army huts in the
war ?me, a similar number being dis
tributed in American training camps,
while half a million are on warships
or transports. The association bas
erected and operates forty-one library
buildings.
The Salvation Army, with L2I0
workers, principally women, overseas,
has won the affection of the fighters.
Its 5301 huts, rest and rondin? rooms
are populnr gathering places for the
soldiers. The doughnuts fried by Sal
vation lassies in huts or trenches and
given to thc men have become famous
around the world. The Salvation
Army gave forty-four ambulances to
the American and Allies' a?inos and
in many other ways gives constant un
selfish service.
Co!. Barker Bids Godspeed to
the Graduates of Train
ing School.
Tho whole-souled co-operation be
tween tlie seven great organizations
working for the happiness and welfare
of our soldiers and sailors was re
cently illustrated at the graduation
exercises of the tenth class of the
Jewish Welfare Board's Training
School in New York. CoL William S.
Barker, who went to France represent
ing the Salvation Army with the first
contingent of our troops and has been
"over there" fifteen months, was tire
principal speaker and wished tho fifty
eifiht Jewish workers of the class God
speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi
nent Jewish attorney and philanthro
pist of New York, lauded the work of
the Salvation Army among the boys
at the front
"What our fighting boys need ls in
spiration and heart and character in
those who are there to help them,"
declared Col. Barker. "You will rep
resent in tlie camps and overseas the
ideals and standards of the Jewish
faith, and it is up to you above all
things to be consistent in your re
lierions practices. Practice what you
preach. That, I am sure, has been
the secret of our own success. If you
live up to the principles of your faith
and give what you have to give from a
heart big with love, the boys will re
spect you, whether they be Protestant,
Catholic or Jew."
The newly graduated field workers
will make a total of 2C0 men doing
field work in our camps and naval
training stations under the auspices
of the Jewish Welfare Board. The
Board has about fifty "huts" in the
various camps and maintains centers
in all lursc cities where soldiers and
sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A
headquarters has recently been estab
lished in Paris, and 100 men are bein;
recruited here for overseas work.
There are now nearly 125,000 Jew;
serving in the army and navy.

Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.
Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er o? the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, lias been suddenly called
upon to furnish SOO additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
I sent to France over a year ago to es
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to fill this
demand," said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sdstaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Bod
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each ls a vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensible, serving its particular
elements in its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase of human mis
ery and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
"We are of the common people, and
we toi! on a practical basis. We len ru
ed .tho lesson of how to do it in tho
Boer wor, when we stood at the side
of .Britain's troops and weathered it
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, ns in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men if
they but had the chance. .
_"With 1,210 trained workers at the
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do Its
best for the cause of humanity and
Liberty."

Community Service Takes Place
of Mother, Friends and
Home for Soldiers.
Ten young officers of the Strident!
Army Training Corps of the Universi
ty of Detroit recently applied for a j
furnished house and a housekeeper.
who would not be a sonant, but, as1
one young officer expressed it, "the!
sort of woman lo whom the boys can'
call out 'Hello, mother!* when they
come in the front door."
Homesickness is the malady fori
which War Camp Community Service:
supplies innumerable cures.
"We've got your number." says the j
W. C. C. S. to the homesick boy from j
camp with leisure to spend in any one;
of the three hundred towns scattered i
over the country. While he's wonder
ing what on earth he'll do with him
self when he gets there, not knowing a j
soul in town and with a limited per
centage of his "thirty per" in his pock
et, along comes a friendly printed card j
from the local branch of his own lodjre i
announcing a reception that night es
pecially for soldier members. By the
sanio mail the Methodist church sends
au announcement of all its uuvtings,
addressed to him, with This Means
You printed at the bottom. How did
tiley know he was a Methodist?
He had forgotten about the little
"Fersonal Card" he made out at the
adjutant's request during his first day
in camp when it was only one of tho
endless details in the round of dentists
and doctors and general confusion.
The W. C. C. S. had not only his num
ber, but his name and address, his
home town, the name of the school
he'd gone to and a good bit about the ?
things he was fondest of doing-each
.fact xVj-itten into a little blank on th?
curd especially fur it.
