MUMTY WILL DB SOLICITED
Altho the campaign proper for the
war recreation fund here was sched
uled to start today under the leader
ship of H. D. Mortenson, si me active
work was undertaken along this line
yesterday, and a very substantial sura
was realised, attho the definite
amount was not announced.
It is evident from the way the
move has already been received that
the total of $400 expected from Klam
ath County wilt be raised without
question. -
The war camu community recrea
tion fund Is the one which the govern-
ment has designated for the purpose
of caring for the "outside of the
camp" recreations. It Is the one to
which President Wilson looks to sup.
ply the spirit of the new American
army. It has. for this reason, been
called "The Spirit of America Fund."
"These young recruits," said Cap
tain Harry George, commandant at
Mare Island, "have left home forHbe
first time a turning point has come
In their careers. Their environment
l strange and unfamiliar. They are
in tho midst of thousands of other
fellows, and yet alone. The home ties
have been savored, perhaps forever,
and they crave kindness and a helping
hand. I know from my own experi
ence Just what this feeling Is.
"The time la taken up with train-
!ngk for the country's defense, but
there are many lonely heurs: the 're
treat' Is sounded, and they are left
to their own devices. Shall they be
subjected to the temptations -of the
saloon and brothel, or ahall they be
diverted from these evil Influences by
nrovldlnx legitimate amusement and
recreation This Is for the patriotic
nubile to determine. May the cam
paign for fundi meet with unqualified
success,
Three dollars per man per year is
the amount of money required for the
"outside of the camp" recreation ser

perlences In communities where the
