JAME3 CARDINAL GIBBONS
Prominent Man
By James Cardinal Gibbons
America, through her soldiers in
France, has voiced the spirit that
leads to victory. They are our sons
and brothers; flesh of our fiesh, and
the spirit that Inspires them inspires
us also. We have sent them across
the se'a to fight, but we have In heart
and In soul gone with them. We are
determined that they should know
that the people at home are fighting
with them, standing with them, shoul
der to sho-.ilder. America In this war
has done what no other nation ever
did. She carried the presence, the at
mosphere of home Into the camps
across the seaB, that everywhere the
soldier may realize there are father
ly hands to help him, motherly hands
to console him, friendly hands to en
tertain him.
Into his splendid work of sustain
ing the morale of our lighting men,
of making them realise that we, their
loved ones, are ever with them, the
great social organizations of America
have thrown themselves generously,
They are again about to appeal to
the American people for the financial
support necessary to carry on this
work. That work is of a single char
acter, as expressed by the Secretary
of War, the recreational work for the
men of our army and navy. All these
seven organizations now stand upon
one platform that ot providing recre
ation, entertainment and home com
fort for our troops. From that common
platform, all, together with one voice,
will make a single appeal to the Amer
ican people.
These seven organizations the Na
tional Catholic War Council, which In
cludes the Knights of Columbus and
other war activities; the Young Men's
Christian Association, the Young Wo
men's Christian Association, the Jew
ish Welfare Board, the Salvation
Army, the American Library Asso
ciation, the War Camp Community
Service have agreed by direction of
the Eovernment upon definite budgets
and all are working under a general
national committee, upon which all are
represented for a united war work
campaign to raise the sum of f 170,
500,000. Enormous as that sum may be, the
American people will raise It gener
ously and gladly. When one considers
an army of over 4,000,000; a navy
that musters over 500,000 men In Its
service; the n'umber and size of our
camps; the buildings to be erected;
the secretaries to he maintained; the
equipment to be furnished; the vis
itors' houses to be built; the commun
ity service to be extended Into every
city and town of the country; the pro
tective work most necessary and vital
for all our people, which this war has
given to us as our share to maintain,

one will see that the sum Is none too
great for this enormous task. We can
not 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 ap
peal Is one that no American may re
fuse, and America's answer will be an
other triumphant announcement that
we are In this war as one people and
as one nation to see it through to vic
tory. The National Catholic War Coun
cil Is one of the seven organizations
that have united under the govern
ment for the raising of this fund. This
means that the entire Catholic church
of this country is to summon to the
service of our country all her re
sources; to voice again In corporate
expression the unexcelled patriotism
that has ever distinguished her. Hu&
dreds of thousands of her children are
in the ranks of our army and navy.
The Knights of Columbus have built
halls ot recreatton, furnished secre
taries; supplied equipment for enter
tainments of ail kinds in our cainps
at home. They have sent their secre
taries by hundreds across the seas and
there they labor at points of debark
ation and right up to the firing line
assisting, comforting, gladdening the
hearts of our soldiers.
We have carried the work of the
National Catholic ,ar Council
through the country. Every Catholic
society has offered its members for
personal service and opened Its club
buildings to our soldiers and sailors.
We have erected visitors' houses
within the amps for the comfort of
mother and sister and all the women
who visit their beloved ones. We have
erected community service clubs. We
have carried our protective work for
young women, both in camps, in the
large cities and Industrial centers.
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 War Work Campaign and give
the utmost service.
