~ WILSON'S REQUEST
! e
¢ (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 $170,5600,000
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 campalgns
and thus secure the greatest possible
degree of co-operation.
“It 18 my judgment,” sald the presi
dent, “that we shall secure the best
results in the matter of support of
these agencies, if the seven socleties
will unite their forthcoming appeals
for funds, in order that the spirit of
the country in this matter may be ex
nressed 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
overseas in their leisure time.”
The $170,500,00 budgets realized
from the coming 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, $3,600,000; War Commun:
ity Service, $15,000,000; Salvation
Army, $3,600,000.

Knights Of Columbus Worker Presides
At Meeting In Ruined Chapel
in France
Had it not been for Father James
Horton, formerly principal of the Man
ist College in Atlanta, Ga., but now
a volunteer chaplain with the Knights
of Columbus overseas, there would
have been no services in the little
ruined chapel of St. Crepin in the
shell-torn town of Chateau Thierry
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
to join in the United Wark Work
Campaign, November 11-18, to raiss
$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 Fathei
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 morg
fervent Te Deums ever were uttered
than those that went up from that lit
tle shell-wrecked chapel in devastated
but liberated, Chateau Thierry.

$170.500,000 FOR BOYS OVER THERE

AND IN FIGHTING AREAS WILL STIRTHE SBOUTHEAST WEEK OF
NOVEMBER 11. ;
Aoccording to the statement issued by Dr John R. Mott, Director
General of the United War Work Campalgn, the total smount to be
raised during the week of November 11th is $170,600,000, fixed by the
War Departmuent, 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 WO N
National Catholic War Work Council (Knights of Columbus), Jewish
Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Asso
clation and the Balvation Army.
“The amount is the largest ever asked as a gift from any people
{n the history of the world,” said Dr. Mott. “Viewed as & 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
{s no Father or Mother or friend of a soldier in this country who will
say that 16 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 whale 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
pance of the splendid morale of our forces. There has never been in
history so spectacular an example of the extreme importance of morale
as 1s 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 frresistibly mov
ing forward—the difference is spelled in the single word, MORALE.
“Napoleon sald 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 appreval 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 1s worth $170,000,000, and more, to add 10% to their fighting
it it brings victory 10% mnearer. 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.”
