Why you should give

THE neod is for a sum 70 °fo greater
than any gift ever askcrl for since
the war began. The Government has
fixed this sum at $170,500,000.
By giving to these seven organizations
all at once, the cost and e fort of six
additional campaigns is saved.
Unless Americans do give twice as
much as ever before, our coldiers and
sailors may not enjoy during IS 19 their

THOSE gallant men who wear horizon blue, those bronzed
poilus who are entering upon their fifth winter of this war
they are the men who know the sheer luxury of a cup
of hot soup, a piece of bread, a stove to sit by, and a word of cheer.
Think of a nation where every able-bodied man of less than
fifty has been under arms for four long years and more. Think
of a nation which has suffered as has France. Then you will
know what the huts are meaning to the French, and what the
huts are meaning to our fighters over there.
It was requested by the Government of France, officially,
that America n maintenance of morale be extended to the armies
of the French. Cheerfully it was undertaken, in simple justice
for our splendid debt of gratitude.
And so you see these huts today, hundreds of them; where,
French and Americans stand side by side, holding out a hand
of friendship to the war-worn, grizzled men whose fighting spirit
is an inspiration to our Yanks. Foyer du Soldat they call
the hut—hearth of the soldier—the nearest approach home up
on the roads to battle.
“The support and comfort of your Foyers /' says General
Mangin, “has been and will continue to be a tremendous phys
ical comfort and moral support, and has given the soldiers that
feeling of home which has been so much lacking.”
“Your Foyers,’’ says Clemenceau, “constantly established
in increasing numbers, as great at the front as in the rear, has
rendered to our sobers most highly appreciated service. Thanks
to your efforts, our children have found in your midst a center
of distraction and comfort.”
United in this war for freedom, our fighters stand beside
the soldiers of Franca United in this campaign for morale,
these seven organizations come to you as one. France s fight
is our fight. Unity of command is winning on the battlefields
abroad. Unity is hastening victory through morala Give fof
morale, give for unity, give for victory!
