SOLDIERS AID IN WAR
WORK DRIVE
. Snldlers lu the various military es
tablishments throughout the country
are taking an active part in the United
War Work campaign for 5170,500.000
for the continuance of the seven great
war work agencies.
The changed policy, it is stated, Is
due to the fact that the soldiers them
selves have expressed a desire to have
a share In continuing the work now
being carried on for the benefit of the
men in nil branches of the service, both
tn America and overseas. They wish
to express their appreciation for the
work already done and their confi
dence in the future conduct of these
activities.
It had not been Intended to extend
the campaign to the military estab
lishments, as It was thought that the
Civilian population of the country
should furnish the funds with which
to finance the tremendous war activ
ities of the seven organizations, the
Y. M. C. A . Knights of Columbus, the
Jewish Welfare Board. V. W. <’. A..
Salvation Army, War Camp Commo
nfty Service and the American Library
Association.
The, soldiers themselves and the
military authorities generally did not
agree with this idea and indicated in
emphatic terms their desire to partlc

MILLIONS FOR MORALE
“Millions for morale" is the United
War Work Campaign slogan coined
by George W. Perkins, chairman of
the finance committee of the seven
great organizations working together
for the good of the soldiers In Amer
ica and overseas.
“The making of morale,” says Mr.
Perkins, "is of the utmost impor
tance."
The Answer
Vs hen your billet is a barnyard and
your bed is creeping hay,
When Us raining and you’re out ol
luck and (likely) out of pay.
When the only girl you want to see'rf
a million miles away—
What’s the answer, Kid? ' The answer
Is the old Y, M. C. A.
If it wasn't for the friendly huts they
run up overnight.
Where a guy can find some smokes
and make a place to road or
write.
Or maybe see a picture show or watch
a ten-round fight,
Why, Kid, we’d all go dippy before we
end it right.
But don’t you lose no sleep about our
funking any scrap.
For your wise old Uncle Sammy
knows the way to treat a chap.
When he’s half-the-world from Home
land, is to dot the muddy map
With snappy Red Triangles where the
U. S. A.’s on tap.
They treat you like you’d ought to be,
they treat you like a man;
They don’t make no distinctions, and
they don’t put any ban
On a guy who’s never signed his name
to no Salvation plan—
You're good enough for them if you're
a good American.
But believe me, Kid, there’s time —•
well, take my case the other day,
When a whiz-bag kind of shock me up
and make me wonder—say.
When you have to talk to some one.
and you don’t know how to pray
What’s the answer. Kid? The answer
is the old Y. M. C. A.

Never has the spirit of the Ameri
can Army been illustrated so strik
ingly as during the ravages of the
[influenza epidemic.
, Notwithstanding the fact that men
were stricken by the thousands; not
withstanding the fact that, in some of
the camps, there were daily funerals,
the men in the ranks always referred
to the epidemic lightly, calling it the
"Flu.”
The daily routine was upset in some
of the camps; a strict quarantine was
imposed; liberties were curtailed—but
never were the men depressed.
They knew they were in the pres
ence of a visitation and they felt that
the sqrgeons of the army were doing
the best they could. This they felt was
as good a best as any civilian physi
cians could do.
It was not that the men had sud
denly become fatalists and that they
were resigned to the inevitable. They
demonstrated that they were not fa
talists when they cheerfully adopted
all the precautions prescribed by the
sanitary officers. But they were re-

AT HOME
The United War Work drive is on.
The need is for a sum 70 per cent
greater than any gift ever asked for
since the war began. The sum has
been fixed at $170,500,000.
Enough motion picture films to reach
around the world and then some more
were exported from the United States
in the past twelve months Thirty
thousand miles of ribbon-like proto
graphs. representing on outlay of $7,-
000,000 were exported in the last year.
Armistice merely halts the war, does
not end it. says Secretary Daniels.
Therefore the War Work campaign
challenges us for big gifts and zealous
support.
American soldiers upon their return
after the war will bo required to pass
through government “delousing”
plants.. The purpose of these plants is
to remove trench vermin. The War
Department announces that 45 such
plants at a cost of $1,500,000 will be
erected under the supervision of the
surgeon general of the army.

France, raised in Augusta.
November 11th was celebrated all
over the United States as the greatest
day in the world’s history. President
Wilson announced: “Everything for
which America fought has been now
achieved.”
The first action of the war depart

signing of the armistice with Germany
was the cancellation of the army

Secretary Daniels announced today
that convoying of ships to European

more severe than those being enforced
against Austria. Turkey and Bulgaria
These nations have been stripped ofall

signed to this extent, that if they wert
to give their lives on account of the
ravages of a disease, they would do
so cheerfully. And who shall say that
those in the service of the army who
were felled by the disease are not just
as much entitled to a place on the
nation’s roll of honor as those who
fell in battle?
To those that are concerned with
the behavior of the troops in battle,
their attitude daring the epidemic was
a splendid augury.
The men who called the little un
derstood disease the “Flu” will think
in terms of Heinies and Busy Berthas
and will go into the very jaws of death
smiling and singing.
They will see the Iwounded and the
dead and they will 1 cultivate a new
will to win and an undying determina

The patience, the fortitude—and the
resignation—in the presence of a
scourge were the products of the dis

Parsons saw the point and backed
water; but nevertheless insisted that
he could see no chance for promotion,
for, as he put it, “my officers don’t
know I’m alive.”
Then he asked for suggestions. On
the basis that no matter how good the
material in an “ad” may be, unless it
catches the eye it fails, his employer
insisted on being shown how Parsons
saluted. Upon being satisfied that
“the old man” was entirely serious,
Parsons came to a salute which, while
technically correct, lacked all sem

That was the turning point.
Straightway the employer insisted
upon Parsons throwing everything
he had into his salute. Parsons saw a
great light and promised that “snap"

And it was; for, on a day some foul
■months later, he came back at

OVER THERE
Germany has "U. S.’d" —an armistice
has been signed. Unconditional sur
render is the most "current event.”
The American First Army under
General Pershing advanced forty miles
in the last seven days of fighting.
When the armistice was signed by
Germany the other day there were less
than 2,500 square miles of French ter
ritory occupied by the Huns.

throne and power! The last of the
haughty militarists! Emperor Francis
Joseph, of Austria, is dead. The Sul
tan of Turkey died before his country
surrendered. Nicholas Romanoff, czar
of the Russians, was deposed and then
murdered. Kaiser Bill says the time
has come for him to abdicate and—all
the rest of it.
Berlin has been occupied by the rev
olutionary forces ever since last Satur
day afternoon. They seized the crown
prince's residence and shouted: "Long
live the republic" and are singing the
Mai'seillaise.
Germany is financially broken, also.
Banks were besiezed by depositors
withdrawing their money, Last Sat

payments.
Conditions in Russia are described
as ''horrible beyond belief.” November
10th was appointed as a day of whole

against “intellectuals,” and “bour

Y. M. C. A. SEGHETARIES
STICK WITH TROOPS
Several Y. M. C. A. secretaries with
the American Expeditionary Forces
have won decorations for their heroic
conduct in battle while serving the
men in the fighting lines with tobacco
and supplies of all kinds. Instances of
incidental bravery are numerous and
on several occasoins special mention of
Red Triangle men has been made in
the orders of the day.
J. E. Pepin, of Detroit, Mich., and
D W. West, of Cleveland, 0., were up
at the front following the men into a
fight. Upon the suggestion of a chap
lain that cigarettes and chocolate
would be of immense value, Pepin
drove back ten miles through a region
that was being heavily shelled by the
Germans and brought up a tonneau of
cigarettes and chocolates to be given
to the wounded.
Richard C. Shreve, of Rochester, N.
Y., heard that forty Americans wound
ed, had fallen into German hands and
persuaded a medical officer to send
out two ambulances after them. Both
ambulances were captured but one cf
the drivers escaped. A captain took
ten men and Shreve drove them to • he
scene in Kis Y. M. C. A. truck. Both
ambulances were re-captured and the
wounded men rescued.
Such instances might be multiplied
almost without number and the result
is that the Yanks firmly declare that
the “V. M. C. A. has got guts.’*

Tried to Save Piano
In a little town *close behind the
fiont lines a ‘ Y” hut was being evac
uated because German shells had be
gun to fall thick and fast, says a re
cent dispatch from the American front.
The “Y’’ secretaries and two soldiers
tried to salvage the big grand piano
that was one of the prize pieces of
equipment of the hut. but the instru
ment would not go through the door.
Then the boys tried the smaller up
right piano, but with no better suc
cess.
They grabbed a moving picture ma
chine and started off. They had pro
ceeded only a short distance when a
German shell tore the door of the hut
to pieces and widened it so that the
two pianos could have been taken out
easily, but, unfortunately the shell de
molished both instruments.

“They are our sons and brothers; flesh of our flesh. We have sent them

the people at home are fighting with them, standing with them, shoulder to
shoulder.
ist
most necessary and vital for all our people which this war has given us
as our share to maintain, one will see that the sum is none too great for
this enormous task.
“We cannot shirk It. We cannot shift it. To attempt to do so would
be to prove false to the men who are giving their bodies and their lives
for our national safety.
“It is an American campaign. Its appeal is one that no American may
refuse, and America’s answer will be another triumphant announcement
that we arc in this war as one people and as one nation to see it through
to victory.
“The entire Catholic body of the country is organized to crown this
campaign with victory. Every diocese has harnessed its own resources,
will work with the state committees of the United States War Work Cam
paign and give the utmost service.”
JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS.
THE GREAT SERVANT OF
THE ARMY FACES A TASK
GREATER THAN EVER
-ontinned from pageone
z\nd General Edwards knew it when
he said to Pershing: “I would rather
have under my command nine hundred
soldiers who had come under the in
fluence of the Y. M. C. A., than one
thousand who had not.”
Out in Oklahoma 1 met a boy at a
railroad station, going home on fur
lough. Said he: "I see you are a Y
man. Well, you can say for me that,
if I had only a dime, and the Y needed
it, I would gladly give the whole thing.
It is the best friend we have in camp.”
But. all these are mere platitudes,
for what American home has not had
the same assurances of confidence in
this great servant of the army, from
the boy whose presence is felt by the
little blue star in the window?
“So, now that “the war drums throb
no longer,” what of the Red Triangle
when the boys come home?
Ah. that’s the rub—-“when the boys
come home!” For it is going to be a
stupendous task, this demobilization
of nearly four million men—not boys
any longer, but big, red-blooded, virile,
restless men—finished in the crucible
of training, brains alert and veins
atingle, flushed with the glory of it
all, and no longer for the humdrum
life of yesterday! As they leave the
camps the specter of nothing-to-do
will stare them in the face at first.
There will be a season of at least sev
eral weeks of idleness for many thous
ands of at least several weeks of idle
ness for many thousands of them, as
they board the ship for home. The
piers will be lined with the Painted
Ones again, and the bright lights of
the roulette hall will gleam for them
as in the old life four years ago. And
what soldier has not felt the agency
of a long night after the duties of camp
life have given away to the lull of
peace*
Be assured your boy’s newly awak
ened energies are not going to be as
they were a. year ago before enlist
ment. His is a new life now, new
ideals, purposes, dreams and visions
are his. And he is to be more restless
than ever, released from the leash, no
one can measure his possibilities. He
will either get somewhere, and that
speedily, or the garish lights of the
downward path may be his undoing.
All this is just byway of saying that
I believe, as firmly a§ I believe that
God, through his wonderful agencies
in camp, ha 5 kept many, many of your
boys clean, that it is more important
right now, that you keep the home
fires burning for them during the try
ing period of demobilization and re
construction than ever before. While
in training they have had the restrain
ing hand of military discipline, their
hours of drill, study, taps and reveille;
now that they are to be “their own
boss,” for a period, it is going to re
quire something herculean to combat
the thousands of vicious allurements.
Victory over the Hun was a matter of
marvelous organization—allied team
work of millions: to defeat a single
minion of Satan may prove the greater
battle for your boy.
There is only on emoral: Give to
support the United War Work cam
paign this week —give until it hurts —
give as you never gave before, but
know that in the giving, you “give but
to get again”— in the preservation of
the life, soul and character of your
boy.
