809 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work .
Must Be Extended.
Commander Evangeline Booth, leader
of llie Salvation Army In the United
States, has heon suddenly called
npon to furnish 800 uddltlonal war
work women for France. The request
Is contained In a report Just received
by her from Col. Wllllum A. llarkef
of the Salvationist forces, whom shs
sent to France over a year ago to establish
hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops
"We will do all we can to fill thlf
rtemnnil," snld Commander Booth when
dlacusslne the unnmirhln* TT n 1
War Work Campaign. "and the need
Itself shonld Impress the American
public all tho more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the wnr relief work of the seven or*
gnnlratlons, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive fof
funds. Each Is a vital cog tn a vast
machine for hnmnn relief, and each Id
indlspenslble, serving its particular
elements In Its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born tg
hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase of human mte>
ery and how to cope with It Perhaps
that accounts In some degree for the
success our work has attained and fed
which we are thankful.
"We are of the common people, and
we toil on a practical basis. We leany~
ed the lesson of how to do It In the
Boer war, when we stood at the aide
of Britain's troops and weathered II
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and father!
of America, as In other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men U
they but had tha chance.
"With 1,210 trained workers at tha
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugonts, the Salvation Anny Is doing;
has done and will continue to do Its
heat for tha cause of humanity and
Liberty."
