With the ban on public meetings' still In effect, Everett Ames, city director of the united war work campaign, set for next week, today was organizing his forces to carry the message of the Y. M; C. A Y. W. C. A., Knights of Co lumbus, Jewish Welfare board. War Camp Community service. Salvation Army and the American Library asso ciation into every home. "We must raise $300,000 in Portland during the week of November 11 to 18," said Mr. Ames, "and to do that, every citizen must realize that the need is urgent. Ordinarily, that amount of money in these war times would not mean much, as far as raising it Is con cerned. But many people think the war (is nearly over and that we will not need the funds. This is an erroneous idea and one that must not be permitted to hamper the work before us." That even more than the sum asked of Portland would'' be needed were the war to. close at once, is the 'assertion of Mr. Ames. The organizations named hjje been designated by the government to do the work so necessary to the main tenance of the morale of our forces and President Wilson personally put his ap proval upon the campaign, fixing the total sum sought at $170,500,000. It will be necessary, It Is shown, to have even more money for welfare work should actual fighting cease than It would should it continue, because the troops would then have more leisure time. It is also explained officially that it will require a long time fully to de mobilize the forces now engaged at home and abroad in vanquishing the Hun. Orlando W. Davidson, state director. Joined with Mr. Ames In asking the peo ple to be ready to give liberally and promptly when the solicitors call upon them next week for this seven fold fund.
