Commander Evangeline Booth, lead er of the Salvation Army in the Unit ed States, has been suddenly called upon to turnisn ouu aaaiuouai war work "women for France, The request is contained in a report just received by her from Col. William of the Salvationist forces, A. Barker whom she sent to France- over a year ago to es tablish hutment and generar war relief work with the American troops. "We will do all we can to fill this demand," said Commander Booth when discussing the approaching United War. Work Campaign, 'and the need itself should impress the American public all the more with the absolute uecessity for sustaining and enlarging tUe war relief work of .the seven or ganizations, besides the noble Red Cross, now merged for-a drive for funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast machine for human relief, and each is lndispensible, serving Its particular elements in its own way. "The Salvation Army was born in hardshiD. reared in privation and trained to every phase of human mis cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps that accounts in some degree for the success our work has attained and for which we are thankful. "We are of xthe common , people, and we toil on. a practical basis: We learn ed the lesson of how to do it in the Boer war, when- we stood at the side of Britain's troops and weathered it out to the end. We have been tried bv fire, and the mothers and fathers of America, as In other countries, trust the Salvation Army to do the thin they would like to do for their men If they but had the chance.

Huge barrels of lemonade served to the American troops during the hat- tle of Chateau-Tbierry furnished only one instance of the service beinz rendered to the soldiers of Uncle Sam and his allies by the Salvation. Army workers now detailed with the fight ing units on the western front. The troops had been hammering at the Boche all day and all nisrht and many of them had been put out of action during the terrific fichtine. but although suffering from wounds made by shrapnel, rifle bullets and hand grenades, mcfst of the injured men were conscious and many of them able to get about with the aid of improvised crutches. The surgeons were busy in the dressing stations and the waiting soldiers wanted noth ing so much as a. good drink of something cold and refreshing. Then It was that the Salvation Ar my workers came along with several barrels filled with sure enough lem onade. Where they got the lemons or the sugar nobody knows, but the soldiers asked no -questions as they dove for the tin cups that were piled alongside the barrels on a huge truck. The surgeons said afterward that the lemonade served to keep down the temperature of many a lad whoso wounds could not be dressed until the most serious -cases had been at tended to. And what that cupful of good old Yankee drink meant to those boys who had just come out of the inferno of Chateau-Thierry, will never be told. It is just that kind of service that is making the Salvation Army organi zation with the military forces of the allies one of the' most potent factors in welfare, work.

FOUND BOOKS DEEP DOWN IN DUG-OUTS American Library Association Sure Reach Soldiers, Sap Raymond Fosdick "I found the books of the American Library Association everywhere in France," says Raymond Fosdick, chair paan of the National Commission on Training Camp Activities, who has just returned from an extended trip over seas, during which he-conducted thorough investigation of the work being done by the various war work agencies. , "I found them, in dugouts thirty or forty feet below grouncL in cow-barns where shrapnel had blown parts of he roof away, as well as in the sub stantial huts and tents far back from the firing line. "I have found them in hospitals and dressing stations; iS scattered villages in the training area where our men are billeted and even in tie remote parts jf France where the forestry units Are carrying out their lonely, but efficient and essential wojk.
