Work Campnign in this county, yes
ter'day. "The necd for funds, now that
the war is practically over, is great
er than ever. ror the solr'ers at ithe
front, without the thoughts of battle
to engage them, will need the iplifting
influences of the seven great religious
and educational agencies if they are
not to be enmeshed in the snares
which surround an army at rest.
While armistlee terims have been sign
ed and pteace is practically here, the
army of the VUnited States is not yet
disbanded and will not be for months
and -possibly a year or two to come. If
the Y. .1. C. A. and the like organiza
tions wcre valuable in war times they
are Invaluable while the roldiers are
