A wounded British airman back in London from France, reports that ihe squadron operating in an impor tant sector on the Amiens front, has probably established a re'eord by bringing down 106 enemy machines in six weeks, including 21 in one day.

This need is being met by Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. and K. of C. Yet in spite of all the splendid work being done by those organizations, more is -needed, and so long as the need exists we cannot cease from our efforts to meet it. Dangers worse than bullets lurk behind the firing line. Temptation and homesickness are best met by i recreational opportunities. This is a work all women can do. Even from their own firesides they can help give the home touch to the camps. Yours for service, CALLIE SOUTHiALL COTTEN, District Chmn. War Victory Com.
