Many soldiem tell ot Hie wonder
fill work the Salvation Army has donv
overseas. To me there is iiolhina
unusual about that work. Inn it is
the same kind ot work and service
the Salvation Army has aUays eiven
here at home at our very own doors.
It has tuken the stories told by the
returning soldiers who have, come to
know the Salvation Army to bring
about this wuve of popularity for the
Salvation Army, but the Army has al
ways worked and served as they are
now serving.
It reaches a class of people that
no other religious organization can or
attempts to reuch. The men and
women that are too ragged and mis
erable to attend the services at our
churches they reach the poverty
that hides and shrinks in the by-ways
ot life. A man or woman can never
fall no low, but that this army ot
earnest workers stretch out a helping
hand lo them. Every man, woman and
child in America should contribute to
this Home Service fund because there
is not a corner in our beloved land,
however remote, that does not receive
direct benefit from the Salvation
Anny, for fifty per cent of the popu
lation of the cities is made up of
people that come from small towns
and from those reigole sections aud
ninety per cent of the buys and girls
that appeal to the Salvation Army
for assistance are those who have
come to the large cities and find them
selves unequal to the struggle for en
lstence. The Salvation Army conducts Res
cue Homes. Day Nurseries, Homes for
the Helpless and Aged and Blind,
Lodging Houses for the men and wom
en ihut ure unable to pay and free
cllnlca-lt extends lis services every
where that misery uud poverty exists.
Soldiers Tell Of Overseas Work.
The soldiers that are returning
from France after their hard strug
gle have nothing but words of praise
for the Salvation Army, and from the
hps of a aoldier now at Camp llordon
comas a story of a frail Salvation
Army lassie that dolled the shot and
shell ot the Hun aud carried him
three miles to a tirst aiil slut Ion aud
suved his life that man is Sergeant
James McCoy of Co. E 17th lutan
try. Sergeant McCoy is the proud
possessor of the Croix de Cuerre, and
the famous llelgiuin meilul tor brav
ery was among the first Americana to
Join the Alliea In tue greai worm

"It was ou my twentieth birthday.
Aincust 5. 1918. in the famous Argonne

a birthday present from the Hun,
mien Sergeant McCoy, ot Camp Gor

Tim rain of bullets from the ma

who found me, but when I awakened
1 was looking into the eyes ot a frail

bringing me hack to consciousness.
"It was after midnight, and the
only light around us came from the

of tho strongest battalions of the Ger

She unloosened my equipment and
carried me in a military fashion
straight out over that perilous Jour
ney three miles away. Time and
again she stopped to regain her
strength and each time after she was
ready to go on she would bathe my
tace and make me aa comfortable as
possible. How long it took her to

rniy, fr they owe that wonderful or
ganization a debt of gratitude, for by
us example of humble Christian ser
vice It iias implanted lu tho hearts of
the world through her fighting men,
a renewed faith in Christ and the
seeds It has sown in No Man's Land
and at the training camps, which will
spring up and hear fruit that will give
the world the lirst real taste ot de
mocracy. Heroes Explain 'Why
In the following words Private
Frank Ivy. of Goldsboro, N. C, sums
up what he has seen of the work of
the Salvation Army abroad. Private
Ivy, who was a member of Company
K. 167th Inrautry, was severely wound
ed In the early battles of Solssons.
While he lay on his cot at Fort Mc
I'herson Hospital, waiting time to
Ileal the wounds inflicted by the
uns, he was at his happiest period,
as be discussed the work of the Sal
vation Army, both hero and abroad.
When he learned of the coming
drive in May for additional funds for
this great cause, the wounded hero
said: "1 hope 1 am out by that time.
and, if I am not. there are thousands
who would go far and wide to tell the
people of this country just what the
Salvation Army stands for, what it did
for Its boys under shell Are, in the
hospitals, and, In fact, everywhere we
went, the Salvation Army worker was
bound to be there. This is no adver
tising campaign, for all the boys will
have to do Is to tell the truth of this
great work and the great American
public will do the rest."
Serjeant George Henderson, of
Jacksonville, Fia., who waB wounded
at Chateau Thierry, Is following the
example of Private Cook and organ
izing the discharged soldiers ot Flor
ida to put over the Salvation Army
Drive in his home State, as the Sal
vation Army so ably assisted to put
over drive after drive in the crueleBt
days of the great world war.
We doughboys know how to help,
and we are going to do It," says Ser
geant Henderson. "The Salvation
Army cared not for ehot or shell, for
their only thought was to aid others
in spite of the personal risk to them
selves. They started in the war with
ub ut our truining camps in America
and remained with us until we put
the Hun buck on his own ground and
started him on the greatest retreat
that a losing army was ever forced to
make.
Oebt of Gratitude
America will never know the grati
tude she owes to the Salvation Army1
and the number of lives that this little
sturdy band of workers saved by their
fearless actions in the greatest of all
lights."
Hundreds of statements have come
to our oflice from those who know
ot the Salvation Army's work In Hie
trenches. j
There will be no vital change in the
administration of the work. The Tam
bourine Girl will no longer circulate
among us, however, except nt devo
