This is the place, 27 feet above the alligators up on the crest of the Blue Ridge mountains. I’ve never seen a finer bunch of fel-‘ lows than 100 “Y” men here prepar ing for Y. M. C. A. work with our army and navy.' Some of the leading preachers, doc tors, lawyers and business men of the country are here. The faculty can’t be beaten in the land. They keep us going from five o’clock (your time) in the morning till 10:00 p. m., trying to give a fellow in twenty-five days what he ought to have a year to get. The time is short. I believe the writing of the doom of the Prussian militarism is tonight on the wall, and the flags of the free are surely mov ing toward Berlin to make this old ken of ours a safe place for women, children and free men to live in.

Dear Friends: I received the comfort bag and con tents today, and as I write you to ex press my appreciation for same and your thoughtfulness of me, I also want to say that this is a complete and very useful article for every soldier to have. I want every member of your club to know that I appreciate every stitch they made on this bag and am sure that many others feel the same way about the good work being done by your good Red Cross, for we boys serv ing you oversea. Wishing you much success in the work you are doing, I am, One of your soldier boys, SGT. FIRST CL J. HOWARD GIL BERT, Q. M. C., U. S. A. That Fayette county will do more than its share to successfully negotiate the United War Work campaign in No vember in which $170,500,000 will be raised throughout the nation so that war work may be continued among the troops and the men in the navy by the seven recognized organizations, is the positive prediction of R. E. F. Fife, chairman of the drive for Fayette county. Mr. Fife, in stating that prepara tions for the campaign are looming up optimistically, explained that Presi dent Wilson has decided that the seven recognized societies doing w el fare work among the American sol diers at home and overseas shall con duct a joint campaign for the funds necessary to carry on their work dur ing the coming year. Mr. Fife believes that Fayette county will have much to be proud of when the final report of the fund-raising campaign is reported to him who is director of the United War Work campaign for this state. Mr. Fife, in explaining the reason for the joint campaign, said: “The president’s decision was com municated to Chairman Raymond D. Fosdick, of the commission on Train Camp Activities, who, in making public the president’s letter announced the campaign would be conducted dur ing the week beginning November 11 and that the American people would be asked to give one bundled and sev enty million five hundred thousand to the organization. The budget will be divided as follows: Y. M. C. A., one hundred million; Y. W. C. A., fifteen million; National Catholic War Coun cil (including work of Knights of Co lumbus) and the special war activi ties of women, thirteen million; Jew ish Welfare Boys, two million five hun dred thousand; American Library As sociation, three million five hundred thousand; War Camp Community Ser vice, fifteen million; Salvation Army three million fivte hundred thousand. Mr. Fife stated further the contents of President Wilson’s letter, in part as below: "It was evident from the first, and has become increasingly evident, that the services rendered by these agen cies to our army, and to our allies are essentially one, and all of a kind, and must of a necessity, if well rendered; be rendered in the closest co-opera tion. It is my judgment that we will receive the best results in the mat ter of support of these agencies, if these seven societies will unite their forthcoming appeal for funds, in order that the spirit of the country in this matter may be expressed without di tinction of race or religious opinion in support of what is in reality a com rnofi service. “Will not, therefore, as chairman of the commission on Training Camp Activities be good enough to request the societies in question to combine their approaching appeal for funds in single campaign preferably during the week of November 11, so that, in their solicitation of funds, as well as in their work in the field, they may act in as 'complete co-operation, and fellowship, as possible? “In inviting these organizations to give this new evidence of their patri otic co-operation, I wish it distinctly understood that their compliance with this request will not, in any sense, ira ply the surrender on the part of any of them of its distinctive character and autonomy, because I fully recog nize the fact that each of them has its traditions, principles and relation ships which it properly prizes and which, if preserved and strengthened, makes possible the largest service.’’ PATRIOTIC RALLY Fayette County Citizens CAMP GORDON Army Band ot THIRTY PIECES With speakers and veterans of the Eu ropean war—American boys who were recently wounded in battle and can tell you the actual conditions as they exist over there.
