A better world rising out of the ruins of War is stirring the hopes of men today. Nations have come to the conviction that man’s terrifying capacity to in vent instruments of death must be turned to creaating means of life. There must be more com fort and security for all men of every class, creed and race. There must be more freedom’ to live happily, together—otherwise our Dead will have died in vain. The Human material to make a better world is the concern of The Salvation Army. Do Some thing About It was William Booths great cry when he saw ragged, starving, jobless men sleeping on the stone bridges over the River Thames. Doing something about it has been the imperative for the Salvation Army whenever and wherever confronted ■ with human suffering and frustration. Today, hearing the voice of people everjrwhere calling for a postwar world of peace and goodwill among men, the Salvation Army in the United States is rededicating itself /to its task.
