'?'Carry On," says of the war work
|which the Y. W. C. A. Is doing: "You
iat home cannot fight with your lives,
?but you can fight with your mercy.
The Y. W. C. A. Is offering you Just
tills chance. It garrisons the women's
support trenches, which lie behftid the
men's. It asks you to supply them
with munitions of mercy that they
may be passed on to us. We need
such supplies badly. Give generously
Unit we may the sooner defeat the
Hun."

W. C. A. he might have said of all the
national organizations which are com

campaign that organizations have ever
headed. All the $170,500,000 to be
raised by thc_S?yen great national or
ganizations the week of November 111

the support trenches behind the lines.

these centers are fitted with many of
the comforts an J conveniences of
