fpHE President has expressed what is in every
American heart. As a nation ve are united in
the winning of this war. 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
