As a nation we stand behind our fighters eaer and prepared to do for them whatever will hasten victory and make the fighter's task a little lighter. As individuals there is little ve can do. As a na tion we can work wonders through the seven organi zations authorized and recognized by the Government. They come to you not as Catholics, nor as Jews nor as Protestants, not as the representatives of any creed .or enterprise, but as Americans to ask that you join in this great united undertaking for God, and country and our fighters. The President has voiced his belief that this spirit ' of unity will be "crowned with abundant success." He believes it because he knows this campaign is "of vital military value" and he knows that you will leave nothing undone to win this war. It rests with you. Think of this campaign as your sole responsibility. What you give will mean its suc cess. You cannot leave this undertaking to others. It is YOUR cr.mpain. In France, Americans are fight ing this war as if the result depended on the way each individual fights. At heme, this campaign rests with' you. What will you give decide to night and make your share the biggest thing you ever did! Why you should give twice s much as you ever gave before 1 The need is for a sum 700fc greater than any gift .v.r asked for since th. world began. Tha Govern ment has fixed this sum at $i 70,500,000. By giving to these seven organizations a!l at once, the cost and effort of six additional campaigns ia saved. Unless Americans do giv. twice as much as over before, our soldima and sailors may not enjoy during 1919 their 3600 Recrostion Buildings !C30 Miles of Movie Film ICO Leading Stago Stars 2030 Athletic Directors 2500 Libraries s-jnplying 5,000,000 bool 65 Hostess Houses 15,000 Big-brother "secretaries" Millions of dollars of home comforts. When you piva double, if'al! make sure that every fighter has the cheer and comforts of these seven organizations every ste p of the way from home to the front and back again. You provide him with church, a theatre, a cheerful home, a store, a school, a club and an athletic field and a knowledge that the folks back home are with him, heart and soul! You have loaned your money to supply their physical needs. Now give to maintain the Morale that is winning the war I S yZX SSv Tm.cxa. y.w.ca. ff xfTv OT"rf!Vri.
