WELFARE OF SOLDIER AIM Campaign 1V111 Begin Today, When Thousands of Ministers Will I'reach on the Importance to righting Spirit of Army. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. Beginning tomorrow and continuing through the week there will be in active swing all over the United States a drive for a fund of $3,750,000 to be raised by the war camp community service. Thousands of ministers will preach on the importance to the morale, as well as the fighting spirit of the Army, of proper community service for the men in uniform. This will open the campaign; then during the week, through local committees organized everywhere, cities and towns will raise the quota assigned to them of the total amount. With the indorsement of Tresident Wilson,' Secretary Baker, Secretary Daniels, Army and Navy officers, and other prominent officials who have Been the value of the work, the war camp community service has been es tablished to accomplish, in general, three things, according to a statement issued here tonight at the headquarters of the organization. Efficiency "Will Be Gained. 'In the first place," the statement says, "proper community reception of the American soldier and Bailor will make them more efficient fighting men. "Stronger National spirit will be de veloped in the men because of the feel ing that American people, having tatcen them into their homes and hearts, hav ing entertained them as men are ex pecting nothing.less than the best from them. "The communities around the train ing camps and the communities from which the men have come and to which they will return after the war will be gainers by war camp community serv ice, which will help to keep the men clean in body, mind and spirit, substi tuting all sorts of good club, home and social entertainment to take the place of harmful influences to which many of the men otherwise fall prey. Need la Outside of Camp. "To carry on this extensive work at all Army, Navy and Marine camps and posts throughout the United States $3, 750,000 will be provided. Leisure activ ities of the men when they remain in camp are well taken care of by the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus and other organizations. But the men leave camp whenever they get opportu nity to "go to town," for the monot ony of camp soon grows wearisome and they need a change; if they did not get it they would soon grow stale. The work of the war camp community serv ice is to look out for the welfare of the men when they are outside camp, io pee that they have clean clubs and plenty of other good places to go, and when they return to camp, instead of being made unfit for service, that they are keener in spirit and more desirous of serving America." PH1SQN COSTS INCREASE PER CAPITA JUMPS FROM $21.33 TO "2S.40. Decreased Number of Convicts De clared to Account for Larger Average Expense. SALEM, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.)

State Treas urer Kay declared that the per capita cost is running too high. "The per capita cost from now on will be lower," stated Warden Murphy. "The past few months we have been purchasing vegetables, wood and other supplies to run us through the Winter and these costs will be unnecessary in the future months.". "The population also has greatly de creased," stated Governor Withycombe, "and consequently the overhead charge makes the per capita cost run higher." "Does it require as many guards to handle 300 convicts as it does 500 asked State Treasurer Kay. "Just as many," Warden Murphy re sponded. The statement for the prison from the first of the year showing the per. capita cost for each month and the number of Inmates is as follows: Per.
