UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
$170,500,000 FOR BOYS OVER THERE
AND IN FIGHTING AREAS WILL STIR THE SOUTHEAST WEEK OF
NOVEMBER 11.
According to the statement issued by Dr. John R. Mott, Director
General of the United War Work Campaign, the total amount to be
raised during the week of November 11th is $170,500,000, fixed by the
War Department, approved by the President.
The fund will be administered by the Government Director for the
seven recognized War Work Agencies, the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A,
National Catholic War Work Council (KnightB of Columbus), Jewish
Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Asso
ciation and the Salvation Army.
“The amount is the largest ever asked as a gift from any people
in the history of the world,” said Dr. Mott. “Viewed as a total sum,
it seems gigantic, but divided by the four million men who will be under
arms in our army and navy during the period it is expected to cover,
you find that it means less than 15 cents a day per man. Surely there
is no Father or Mother or friend of a soldier in this country who will
say that 15 cents a day is too much to spend on his church, his home
over there, his library, his theatre and his club. The President summed
up the whole appeal in a recent letter in which he spoke of the work of
these seven great agencies as "of vital military Importance.” He had in
mind the fact that their activities are largely responsible for the mainte
nance of the splendid morale of our forces. There has never been in
history so spectacular an example of the extreme importance of morale
as is now being presented on the Western front. The forces that confront
each other there are not widely dissimilar in numbers or equipment
yet one army is constantly withdrawing and the other irresistibly mov
ing forward—the difference is spelled in the single word, MORALE.
“Napoleon said that ‘morale’ is as other factors in war as three to
one! General Pershing, in a recent letter, commenting on the work of
the agencies, quoted with approval the statement of one of his colonels,
who said: ‘Give me nine men who have a hut to spend their evenings in
and I will have a better fighting force than ten men would be without
it’
If it is worth $24,000,000,000 to keep our boys under arms next year,
surely it is worth $170,000,000, and more, to add 10% to their fighting
if it brings victory 10% nearer. This is the appeal of the seven Unit
ed War Work agencies to America, and particularly to those four mil
lion homes where service flags fly, and we know what America's an
swer will be.”

UNITED WAR WORK
DRIVE STAGED AT
WILSONS REQUEST
(By L. Porter Moore.)
It is at President Wilson’s express
request that the seven great war work
agencies are consolidating their efforts
In the United War Work Campaign
of November 11-18 to raise $170,500,000
to be used in continuing the activities
of these organizations.
In a letter to Raymond D. Fosdick,
chairman of the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities, the president in
dicated his desire that the seven or
ganizations combine their campaigns
and thus secure the greatest possible
degree of co-operation.
“It is my judgment,” said the presi
dent, "that wv shall secure the best
results in the matter of support o£
these agencies, if the seven societies
will unite their forthcoming appeals
for funds, in order that the spirit of
the country in this matter may be ex
pressed without distinction of race or
religious opinion in support of what
is really a common service.
"At the same time I would be oblig
ed if you would convey to them from
me a very warm expression of the gov
ernment’s appreciation of the splen
did service they have rendered in min
istering to the troops at home and
overseat in their leisure time.”
The $170,500,0t> budgets realized
from the coining campaign will be ap
portioned as follows:
Y. M. c. A., $100,000,000; Y. W.
C. A., $15,000,000; Knights of Colum
bus, $30,000,000; Jewish Welfare
Board, $3,500,000; American Library
Association, $3,500,000; War Commun
ity Service, $15,000,000; Salvation
Army, $3,500,000.

Knights Of Columbus Worker Presides
At Meeting In Ruined Chapel
In France
Had it not been for Father James
Horton, formerly principal of the Mar-
ist College in Atlanta, Ga., but now
a volunteer chaplain with the Knights
of Columbus overseas, there would
have been no services in tbs little
ruined chapel of St. Crepin in the
■bell-torn town of Chateau Thirtry
when the Yanks poured into the city
and drove the Huns back toward the
Rhine. The Knights of Columbus are
one of the seven war work agencies

the masks were turned out as the re
sult of their efforts.
The “flu” epidemic forced the clos
ing of all Y. M. C. A. huts, Knights of
Columbus recreation halls, camp the
atres and Jewish Welfare establish
ments closed, but out-door entertain
ments were staged to serve the men
quarantined in camp. Those convales
cent in the barracks were also given
the benefit of this service.
The advent of women secretaries at
the Red Triangle huts has proved a
decided sensation among the troops,
and they are quick to express their
satisfaction at the innovation. The
women workers release men for serv
ice in the barracks and assume the du
ties of the men secretaries at the huts
Campaign, November 11-18, to raise
$170,500,000.
Father Horton was right up with
the vanguard of the on-rushing Ameri
cans and, after the Germans had been
cleaned out of their cellars and ma
chine gun ambushes, the old Cure,
who had emerged from some unknown
hiding place, insisted on holding serv
ice in St. Crepin’s chapel to celebrate
the liberation of the city.
There were no vestments, no can
dles, no sacred vessels. But Father
Horton rode a motorcycle back to the
headquarters of the Knights of Co
lumbus, secured the supplies needed
by the Cure and rushed them back
by automobile.
The services were held and no more
fervent Te Deums ever were uttered
than those that went up from that lit
tle shell-wrecked chapel in devastated,
but liberated, Chateau Thierry.

She is rather wee and very winning.
Her eyes repeat the blue on her Y.
W. C. A. uniform that carries the
insignia of her service. Her hair,
grey for all the shortness of her span
of years, frames a face worn, not thin,
but fine with a suffering that is more
than merely vicarious.
She has lived in the shadows, has
stood by while the thrns were press
ed down above tortured eyes, has held
the hands of those who knelt in their
Gethsemane. In a very literal and un
restricted sense, “She hath done what
she could” for those who overseas en
dure what we, sheltered and safe, read
about. She is to tell her story in all
cities of our Southeastern Department
as a National speaker for the Y. W.
C. A. during the United War Work
Campaign to raise $250,000,000 during
the week of Novel*her 11.
At the recent United War Work Con
vention in Jackson, she was wanted
for a speech in the main convention
hall while she was busy with commit
tee work elsewhere. Several efforts
were made to find her, the program
lagged. Presently Gypsy Smith was
missed out of a front seat; soon after
he returned leading her up the aisle.
At the foot of the rostrum he gathered
up with a sweeping gesture R. H.
King, J. M. Clinton, Capt. George S.
Dingle and O. W. Buschgen. As the
audience rose to its feet at sight of
“Our Katie” the five men, like prank
ish school boys, made a crescent back
ground for the one small woman, while
from five throats—bass, tenor and!
baritone—rolled the lilting strains of
“Katie.”
To Katie Boyd George Mississippi
women owe the fact that today the
Iname of their grand old common
wealth is on the map of national and
|international service. Shall all women
iby concert of effort and sacrifice honor
|her splendid achievement?
We owe her a special sort of allegi-
nce—a fealty of duty, of tradition and
ffection. When she speaks one hears
gain the vibrant voice of her grand-
'ather, J. Z. George, as in legislative
alls during trying days of reconstruc-
;ion, he helped to mould the destiny of
ur generation. Her forebear’s indom-
table spirit rings in her voice, ema
nates from her small supple frame,
calls to you from her steady eyes.

Colonel Screws Says Alabama Resi-
idents Are Appreciative Of Red
Triangle Service To
Soldiers There
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. —.—“In my
opinion there is nothing that the Y.
M. C. A. can ask of the people of Ala
bama which they would not give if
they only knew half of the excellent
work being done by your organiza
tion,” writes Col. William P. Screws,
Commander 167th Infantry (Old 4th
Alabama), in a letter to Borden Burr,
who recently returned from France,
where he was engaged in War Work
for the Young Men’s Christian Associ
ation. Leaving out expressions of
personal praise, at the request of Mr.
Burr, Colonel Screws’ letter is as fol
lows :
“On behalf of the officers and enlist
ed men of the 167th Infantry (former
ly the Fourth Alabama Infantry), I
wish to thank you for the excellent
and valuable work that you have done
with us, and with other American
troops, since your arrival in France.
“In my opinion too much praise can
not be given the Y. M. C. A. for the
excellent work they have done and
are now doing for our men over here.
As you know, from personal observa
tion sinoe you have been with us, the
"Y” workers are present in time of
need and, get some of the luxuries of
life to the men that they would not
otherwise .get.
"As the commanding officer of the
regiment, I wish to thank you per
sonally for your excellent efforts and
your many deeds of valor and kind
ness shown all through our hard cam
paigns, in which you were present
with us from first to last.”
Alabama residents are to be given
an opportunity to give during the week
of November 11, when $170,500,000
will he raised to continue another year
the work of the Y. M. C. A. and other
welfare work agencies.
To assist the retailer and consumer
it is desired that each family will pur
chase all of its sugar from same retail
er. This will lessen the chances of
both retailer and consumer violating
the regulations. It is suggested that
every family prepare now to adopt this
plan.
The attention of all retailers is call
ed again to the fact that the certifi
cates upon which sugar is sold to their
customers must be sent to the Coun
ty Food Administrator at the end of
each week. A large number of re
tailers are not observing this and are
apt to be embarrassed for their fail
ure to do so.
Every retailer is requested to list
the certificates by the amount only and
add the list, showing total amount of
sugar represented by each week’s cer
tificates. Atttach the addition slip
to the certificates.
The attention of the public is again
called to the rule which requires the
sale of substitutes with straight flour
at the rate of one pound of substitutes
to each four pounds cf fleur. There
is most positively no exception to this
rule. It applies to farmers who have
meal on hand as well as to all others.
It Is not permissible for a farmer to
sell to a merchant one or two pecks of
meal and for the merchant to immedi
ately sell the same quantity back to
the customer. Any producer who has
a real surplus of meal may sell it, so
long as the sale is not a subterfuge to
evade the food regulations.
All merchants and consumers who
are co-operating with the Food Admin
istration are entitled to protection, and
and while the administration does not
seek the opportunity of penalizing any
one, it desires to encourage both mer
chants and consumers to report all
violations. However, no “hearsay”
reports are desired. Names, dates and
other specific data are necessary.
Sugar restrictions for November and
December are less rigid than in re
cent allotments by the United States
Food Administration. Sugar for house
hold use is three pounds per person
per month.
Soft drink and ice cream manufac
turers are only allowed twenty-five per
cent of their normal pre-war require
ments. Manufacturers of beverage
syrups, confections, chewing gum,
chocolate, cocoa, cough drops, malted
milk, syrups and molasses, soda wa
ter and similar products are cut down
to fifty per cent of the average month
ly use of sugar during the period from
July 1st to December 31st, in 1918 and
1917 combined.
The public is warned by the United
States Food Administration against
canvassers who are selling publica
tions, purporting to he issued by the
government.
• Publications issued by the govern
ment are always sold at cost or given
away free.
There is already the usual Fall de
cline in market prices of poultry, an
nounces the Food Administration. This
is due to large receipts of immature
and poorly fleshed chickens, scarcity of
labor and inadequate refrigerating
space. A heavy marketing of moult
ing hens also has a depressing effect
on the market.
Producers may assist in stabilizing
the poultry market by withholding im
mature chickens and moulting- hens
and by extending the normal period of
Fall marketing well into the Winter.*
This will not only stabilize the mar
ket, hut result in actual increase in
food from poultry.
As a result of the pressing needs
for military use, the soil-survey work
of the bureau of soils, United States
department of agriculture, is being di
rected more and more to the surveys
of areas where information is immedi
ately needed by the war department.
In the selection of areas to be sur
veyed in the immediate future, this
question of military exigency will take
precedence over all other requests or
plans for distributing the work
throughout the States. Work will be
continued in the States that are co
operating in soil-survey operation*
far as it can be consistently done.
