It la recognised that, the r siting of ii.i.rale is of the utmost importance to th# winning of the war. The service of these agencies on the* battle iront, as well aa in tha camps and cantonment* in the United State*, plays an important part In sustaining tha cour age and the anirit of the Ashling men. '‘Morale’!* that aubtie. Intangible mor al force that sustains armies in the ter rific service required of them. It waa "morale" that enabled the armies of France and Great Britain, Belgium, Italy and Serbia to maintain for more th n three years their fight against nn enemy stronger than themselves. It waa lack of morale that caused the Russian army to collapse and to degenerate into a num ber of armed mobs. Not for one single moment haa the morale of the Allies been broken or de stroyed. The factor that contributed largely to the support of thle morale haa been the splendid way in which the peo ple of the United States have contributed to the support of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. O. A. and other agencies that have so nobly served the men at the front and in the camps. in the judgment of tin President of ' liic United States, it is imperative that the claims of the seven voluntary agen cies at work among the soldiers should be presented in a united campaign for funds needed to carry on this work dur ing the coming year. Instead of two or more campaigns at different times that might interfere with the Government’s plana for floating Liberty Loans, it has l>een deemed wisest and most expedient that a joint campaign should be made for the enormous cum of 9170.600,000. Tho various agencies have estimated their needs as follows: Y»uag Man's Christian Aworlation $100,000,000 Young Wasasn's Christian Aasecia tioa----- ir,.nno.noo National Catholic War Council (|B- j rinding the work of tkr Knights , of Cotuasbui an.l -perial war lUthribiM for wou.’n).... . *0,000,000 Jc»ir.h Welfare Hoard ...... 8,800,000 Amarl .t Library Aaeoclalion_ 3.800,000 War Cu«;> Coaimuntty Horvico_ 18,000,000 Halve'.Ion Amy. 8,600,00(1 wo____# Total..*170.800.080 General Pershing, in a communica tion to the officer* of tho National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. declar es that that im-titution adds ten per cent to the fighting power of our armle* in France. The statement is as follows: "Give uk nine men and the Y. M. C. A. and wc will hnve a more effective fight ing force than as though we had ten men without the Y. M. C. A." Lieuten ant Colonel E. S. Wheeler, in a letter to General Pershing said: “There is do on* factor contributing morv to tho morale of th* American army in France than tho Y. M. C. A. The value of Mils organisation ranrot be overeat:mated. When I coma to tho Y. M. C. A. huts and tea our men nicht after right and one day after another in their tpsrc moments enjoying th» privilege* created by » corps of self-sacrificing Red Triangle worker*. I know that they aw better men and belter fight ers for to doini; Oiva dm nine hundred men who have a Y. M. C. A. rather thun one thousand who bavo none. *r.d I will have better Dcbteri every time." No ons can lightly lay aaida the claim* of theas gencies upon his liberality. As President Wilson haa pointed out hi his request for s united campaign, no one surrenders any vital principle in thus joining for expediency’s sake in the Uni ted campaign. Should any contributor desire, he may specify that his individual contribution shall be devoted entirely to any particular cause that he may desig nate.
