THE "HIGH rOINT ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 20, 1918.
sALVA'iIOJi ARMY DOING NOTABLE
WORK FOR THE. NATIONS FIGHTERS
A ?ry interesting statement has been
issued by Earl Brewer, of Oarksdale,
Mis., Dixie chairman of the war fund
committee of the Saltation Army, to
fceet honet inquiry and even skeptical
criticism t the campaign to rake $1,
000,000 with, which to inaure continuano
af the war aerviee work of the Army
Tat statement follows:
With ' m many and diversified de
mand being made upen the patriot citi
iu ties days, it b not sarprising that
inquiriei are being mad at to just why
the Fa anion Array, In such a trying
hour seeks to organize war fund.
' tTatil now, the popular conception in
America of the Saltation Army and it
work and sphere, haa been limited U
a somewhat indefinite knowledge of its;
protection and care of the poor. It
haa required a freat war like the pres
ent obs to enable us to reach that
point La evolution, when the real ex
teat of tha Salvation Army's activities
and power for good, might be widely
heralded. Many people even today are
unaware that we might hare colleges
for officers with 1.300 students therein:
that we hive 25,000 trained officers in
6fl countries on this earth, working un
ailflMh'y day and night for the practl
cat alleviation of human Bufferings ; that
we hate 10,000 corps at work preach ins
honesty, cleanliness and faith in Christ ;
that We have industrial farms for turn
ing convicts into useful citizens and
making them assets, instead of liabili
ties to the public; thJt we have mater
tlty homes, social centers .and lodging
hottaea run at cost, where tens of thou
aasd of homeless men find clean and
decent quarters every night. These art
but a few of the facts
. .Tluf Salvation Army is performing
the same work of mercy nt serving
the same cements for Hod and man
kind in times of war at in times of
Pe. '
Khaki does not change the inner-man
'. one organization on earth can ade-
ad women, diVotiug their energies
their lives to war work now, at the
trenches and in the camps, sustaining
i:i-rale and helping the men. Thousands
upon thousands of our women are knit
ting constantly for the Red Cross.
The Salvation Army at home and
abroad, has spent thus far one ml'lion
dollars on its war work, and has had
no "drives for funds." This one mil
lion dollars is made up from nickels,
dimes and quarters of the small givers
everywhere. The task brought tou by
the war and the needs of humanity is
prodigious; we must have more money
to keep up the work. We ask for lit
tle compared to other oiganizations. We
seek nothing for local work. We ask not
for ourselves we ask for humanity.
We do not even handle the money rais
ed. Local treasurers forward it to the
genera! treasurer. Half of it goes for
the maintenance of huts and Salvation
Army war service amoving the America-!
troops in Franca and half of .it for the
maintenance of huts, refreshment booths
and Salvation Army war services gen
erally in the vicinity of training camps
in this country and also for the pur
chase of materials with which thousands
of our women may continue to knit and
sew garments for the American Red
Cross.
The average citizen does not know how
diseae and depravity are already at
tacking our forces. Ak him if he un
derstands what a camp follower is, and
the fact that the Salvation Army com
bats thee parasites and struggles to
turn them back into clean useful paths!
The Salvation Army ; stationed, like
a sent in"! of final reckoning, just out
side the gates of the cantonments and
camps in the United States. We art
there for a reason. Several other ntf
ble and splendid organizations are lab
oring within, and yet -with their com
bined efforts, they cannot reach or in
fluence a vast percentage o fthe men
upon whom Mr. Citizen is depending in
this war for certain victory. Uncle Sam

When Europe first plunged Into' nd ; t troubjM.
ftt, tha Salvation Army of England in-1 folkwer, who wonM

ana behind the Bring line, and has imht i . , ,

Ultra ever since, with us responsibilities

pTDgreMed. When America finally entcr-4.-tha
war, tha SaUvtion Army here,
ahrj-kliijt no duty, entered with f ag. the
ne'jiVafcd" the nation.
f jh' battle on the front line is terri
NV ihe battle that rages behind those
ilnta'is scarcely less terrible. There
temptation, depravity, disease, despond-
raytf'fiopeteasness and despair are en-! '
j .. .... . . i i v
(tencoea mere tne rAivation Army is
fighting the battle for a better morale.
The Salvation Army of England ha.i
paced 1S3 recreation, comfort and re
freshment huts at the front in Europe
with tha allies.
the Salvation Army of the United
TMtes hat, since Uncle Sam declared
-r Upon Germany, established seven
huts for recreation, rest and re
.whment, close to the lines in Fland
ers, and mutt put 47 more there at once
to meet tha stilting need.
The Salvation Army is today main
taining at the front 77 hotels and nav
al and mllKarj homes, and is handling
alt told 100,000 men a week. Thou
sands arc being turned away, because
wa at short of facilities.
Thirty-five ambulances manned and
officered by Salvationists are in France
and Russia today, while 12 ambulances
hats been tent over and presented to the
government by the Salvation Army of
the United States.
There are 0,000 members of the
Sa'.vation Army tinder armB and fight
ing for the alliea today and the number
prewt constantly.
There are over 700 Salvationists, men
Nobody!
j And that is why the Salvation Army
has written approval of President vlil
son. Secretary of War Baker, Congress
man Tinkham, who has just come from
the trenches, American colonels, mapors
and privates in the army. That is also
why the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. have
written cordial letters of appreciation to
the Salvation Army. ,
General Secretary J. R. Mott of the
A. headquarters Xew York
wrote on December 20th last: "There
eems to be, as far as I can learn, not
only delitful unity and understanding
but the absence of duplication."
The Salvation Army Is not asking
and will not ask for itne'f in this war
fund drive. It cannot cope, unaided by
the public, however with the tremend
ous task which the war puts upon it.
We ask only that the hundrdeds of
thousands of fighters who instinctively
drift to us and who will go nowhere
else be not denied their mede of com
fort and encouragement through any
mistaken ideas taht might innocently
be cherieshed b ythe staty-at-homes.

Three "Drafts" Upon the Division
at Camp Sevier Last Week
Stenographers Called. : ry
, Camp Sevier, Greenville, S. C, Jan.
28. A requisition for a number of effi
cient stenographers for immediate over
seas duty, received yesterday at head
quarters here, brings the number of
auch "drafts" on the division during
the week just cioaed up to three. Twen
ty military police were sent away last
Monday, it has since been learned, for
overseas duty, and tha personnel de
partment is now engaged in examining
some 700 skilled mechanics from whom
400 are to be selected to go serosa at
once. Now comes the call for stenog
raphers. Although orders are orders, officials
here regret to tee the most capable men
of the division taken from it, as they
feel that in many cases these men can
not be replaced, and the process of
fitting the organization for flghting is
thus inevitably retarded. It is now
understood, however, that the war de.
partment plans, by aid of the ques
tionnaire, to be able to send to each
camp among the first of the new draft
enough pecially qualified men to take
the places of those who have been re
quisitioned; The recent frequent drafts and other
causes have given rise to reports that
the division as a whole will never be
sent to France but will remain here as
a sort of training school, the mostly
highly trained men being sent away to
fill up other divisions and fresh men
from the draft being takep in to fill
their places. So far as officials here
know, there is not the slightest foun
dation for this belief, and there is no
conceivable reason, military or other
wise, why five months or more should
bp s;tent in forming into a division
of troops which it was never intended
-liotild fight together as such.
BRYAN EXPECTS TO SEE

Xew York. Jan. 2!). Wiliam Jen

Mr. Bryan assailed what he called)
'the subsidized press of the country"

of a whiskeysbottle."
The speaker praised the administra-l
Hon at Washington for keeping li
quor out of the army cantonments and
