W. E. BISHOP & COMPANY PLUMBING and PLUMBING SUPPLIES Pershing Wants Pledges Paid So Welfare Work Wilt Go On With Army “To the End.” Washington, D. C—Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the Com mission on Training Camp Activities, has made public a letter which he has received fx’om General John J. Pershing, showing the vital importance of continuing the welfare work with the army until the end. Those who have not paid their United War Work Campaign Bubscriptions will come in for much criticism if they do not do so dur ing “Speed-Up” Week, July 2Sth to August 4th, Cleveland H. Dodge, national treasurer of the United War Work agencies, stated on July 15th that he had only enough funds on hand to run the seven organizations until August .1st. Therefore, unless every outstanding subscription is paid during “Speed-Up” Week, it will be necessary doubtless to cut down the work of the agencies which now means so miicli to our soldier;? still in uniform. Gen. Perahing’s letter in full reads: AMERICAN EXPEDn iGNAKY FORCES Office of the Command«r-in-Chief France, May 3, 1919. Mr. Raymond B. Fosdick, Chairman, Commission on Training Camp Activities, War Department, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Fosdick: On the welfare societies that joined in the united campaign for funds at home in the fall of 1918, all, with the exception of the War Camp Community Service* are continuing their helpful work with the American Expeditionary Forces. This work is of the utmost value to the troops and is thorough ly appreciated by officers and men. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to testify at this time to the value of their services. I sincerely hope thnt the amounts so generously subscribed during the last campaign for funds will be paid in so that the work of these societies with the Army in France may be continued to the end. Sincerely yours, JOHN J. PERSHING. NOTE—*The War Camp Community Service has, from the outset, concentra.ted its efforts in encampment cities in this country. J! IfTi m If- CEDAR MT.
