pointing out what they have. The

TO ALL AMERICANS:
We, your soldiers, look to you with the eyes of Home. We are your sons,
your brothers, your husbands, your sweethearts, your defense. The strength
of our hands, the skill of our eyes, the courage of our spirits make your homes
safe, your families protected, your property untouched while one-third of
the world is becoming a wasted barren through the inconceivable ferocity of
a godless autocracy.
We are asking you for money, not as an" investment but. as a gift, where
the sole percentage return to you will be in the gladsome contentment of
knowing that we are more comfortable, more satisfified. We give you no
mortgage to secure you but our lives will balance the account; we render no
note to indemnify you but the blood which we lose for you will erase the in-
debtedness. We who are sacrificing

but the Y. M. u. A. it Dnngs to us the only entertainment wnicn the camp
life presents; it obtains the moving picture shows for us; it goes out and
returns with plays for our amusement; it is our school, our church, our social
entirety.
Above the secretarial desk in all Army Y. M. C. A.'s is a sign on which in
red letters are the words, "Don't forget to write home." The Y. M. C. A.
is our army home, our guide, the barrier that is between us and evil, the
cheerer of the home-sick It encourages
those who would cry. Take it not away
and sacredly.
Countrymen, it requires money that the Army Y. M. C. A. should be sus
tained. You hold the money, we seek the Y. M. C. A. Unite the means with
the desire and bring to us an enjoyment that we, stimulated by the represent
ative presence of home, will repay you with better equipped endeavors for
our lard.
There will be a day for us when we shall charge across a shot and shell
corrupted place, facing death unseen and hideous, when the ticking of our
watches shall be timing the outpour of our blood, when the moral and home
support of our country shall be a necessity, when we shall need the revivify-
ing encouragement that we are struggling for home, that our homes and your
homes may be f reemens' palaces. And at the close of the day's battle will
there be waiting on the very fighting line the only home which we shall
have with us, the Army Y. M. C. A.? We think there will.
1 You have placed with us the light of a nation's faith, we wil cause it to
brighten the world. We are staggered with loads which it is within your
ability to lighten. Build for us and maintain for us our Y. M. C. A.'s.

Fancy packs were not taken into

eye, too much time is taken up in do

to be considered, and where the qual

beautiful arrangement was not count

cakes and candies, and the committee
made no effort to encourage making
of many cakes or a large amount of
