New York (Special).—Like tho
2,000,000 American boys whom it
■erred so gloriously In the trenches of
France, the Salvation Army is coining
back from overseas, ready to put asido
Its khaki uniform of war service, don
again the “Civvies'’ and embark once
more <>d its normal peace time activi¬
ties.
And. just like those doughboys, the
Salvation Army has come out of tire
war victorious and with citations for
bravery, decorations for gallantry un¬
der fire and golden chevrons Indica¬
tive of honorably won wounds on its
arm. The victory which the Salva¬
tion Array lias won is a victory over
the obstacles that lay before it in its
purpose of efficient service of the fight¬
ers of Pershing's army. Its citations
are the thanks, cheers and prayers of
lorutfvoAn. i2,0b0,000 doughboys. a---- vv.„ ■.*---- Its wound • stripes •-* --
are rightfully golden of hue. for they
typify the unselfish way in which the
Army threw all Its resources—finan¬
cial, spiritual and moral—into the ef¬
fort to help the American soldiers hi
France.
Now the Army Is asking the people
of of America A to give it concrete evidence
the f gratitude which has been so

campaign cam] to raise SI3,000,fiOO for Its

needed both to recoup the fortunes of
the, Army, shattered by its long service
of the soldier and to permit it to carry
on the work It has always done on
larger scale which the public now
demands, liaising the ii|oney by this
means, the Salvation Army explains.
will eliminate, perhaps permanently,
the necessity for the ceaseless solieita

It will permit the workers of the Army.
who, forced to devofe more than half
their time to gathering money, were in
consequence only half efficient in rlieir
evangelistic and social service work,
to devote all their time in future to
th« duties for which they have been
trained.
ISE oo vitiamHMmi coviwtJiuN, ga. liffiBstut. maV is,« w.
Th« amount of the fund has been
determined exactly ami logically by
means of budgets prepared locally by
workers of the Solvation Army in all
parts of the United States.
Already headquarters for the cam¬
paign have been established In New’
York City. A ready response in en¬
couragement and cheering wishes for
success has been heard from all parts
of the country. Men and women
prominent in all walks of life have
volunteered their services as active
participants in the drive. The Army’s
2,000,000 loyal rooters—the boys who
went overseas tu Khaki—are all lined
up ready to help. The Army not only
helped them over there, but it found
jobs for many of them after they had
been mustered out of service, helped
them get the civilian clothing that was
necessary If they wanted to take those
jobs, fed many of them, gave them
shelter and furnished them with trans¬
portation to their homes.
For the war service of the Salvation
Army Is still under way. Irs workers
are still, many of them, in France, and
it* huts, clubhouses and hotels for the
reception of the boys returning from
abroad are in full swing here.
Neither, the Salvation Army asserts,
will its war work be abandoned until
the last boy is out of the khaki of the
army or the blue of the navy. The
larger activities which necessitated the
coming campaign will exist and be
financed Independently of the service
of the fighters from abroad.

The following letter was addressed
to former Governor Whitman of New
York state b.v Cardinal Gibbons:
“Honorable and Dear Sir—I have
been asked by the local Commander of
i the Salvation Army to address a word
to you as National Chairman of the
Campaign about to be launched in be
half of the above named organization.
This I am happy to do, and for the rea
son that along with my fellow Amerl
| j can service citizens which I the rejoice Salvation in the Army splendid
j tiered-our soldier and sailor boys dur
lug the war. Every returning
is a willing witness . . to the efficient and 1
generous work of the Salvation Array
both at the front and in the camps at
i home. 1 am also the more happy to
j commend this organization because it
’ is free from sectarian bias. The man
] in need of help is the object of (heir
| effort, with never a question of tils
j creed or color.
“I trust, therefore, your efforts to
raise $13,000,000 for the Salvation
Army will meet with a hearty response
from our generous public. Faithfully
yours,

Report All infectious Diseases
Apply For Bulletins And Blanks
Physicians are urged not to allow
their supply of blanks for making re¬
ports to the State Board of Health to
run out or get too low.
Infectious and contagious diseases
should be promptly reported as by so
doing a beginning epidemic might be
“nipped in the bud.” This is true of
many of the diseases that are not wide
spread. As an illustration of this we
might mention two cases of Typhus
Fever that we had to develop in one of
bur counties recently. The cases were
immediately reported by wire to the
State Board of Health. A physician
was immediately sent, and all examina¬
tions made. The necessary precau¬
tions were taken and not a single case
developed—the disease was properly
handled and many lives as well as dol
J;irs sa vcd.
Since this case lias been mentioned
for the purpose of impressing the ne
ceseiiy of reporting, it might be of
general interest to state that this par¬
i ticular case was brought to our etate by
; a soldier. It is only transmitted by
j mTthing
Lor baggage. The returning soldiers are
all being carefully watched for car¬
riers of Typhus, but some may elude
the close watch that is being kept,
so it might be well for all to have an
eye out for any unusual disease, and
immediately notify the authorities.
Many of the infectious and contagi¬
ous diseases are so common that lit
tie attention is paid them. This is true
or such diseases as whooping cough,
measles, mumps and the like, generai
ly known as diseases of childhood.
Why have them when by isolation they
can be prevented?
One of the most prevalent of the
| communicable diseases, aDd the most
j serious of any above mentioned are the
! venereal Diseases. About 10 per cent
j of our entire population is supposed to
he infected.

That Salvation Army Smile
cfcar-v ■: y:;»
Several thousand veterans of the Argonne Forest recently entered New
York harbor. Among them were several badiy wounded Marines. One man,
easily distinguished because of a coat sleeve that dungled empty at his aide
and a Croix do Guerre, was making Ids way slowly to the waiting ambulance
uhen a Salvation Army girl approached him and offered doughnuts and coffee
“Now i know I am home,” he said. “Those doughnuts helped a whole lot
‘over there,' and. first crack out of the box when we land, we tind more wait¬
ing for us. The best thing about the Salvation Army work out near the front
line was the smile that accompanied the gift. Those girls had a knack of
wrapping up every doughnut and every cup of coffee in a smile. The dough¬
nuts u ere fine, but the smile-—that took the place of powdered sugar.” The
Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign for $13,000,000 opens Mav 10
