WAR WORKERS
IN HIGH SPIRITS

tributed heavily during previous war
fund drives.
Wth four hundred plodgc card?,
sind the names of the prospective
generous contributors, the special
committee alms to secure many hun
dreds of dollars toward tho city's
SISO.OOO quota until Saturday noon,
when the pledge cards will bo re
turned and the eon-.mltteo will make
ito report at headquarters.
Needs of Soldiers
Mr. Braden, who is chairman of
the Speakers' Bureau of the Penn
sylvania United War Work Organi
zation. explained the need for tho
immense national fund of $170,500,-
000, and recounted persona! ex
periences among the soldiers of Italy.
He told of the great work being ac
complished by the Y. M. C. A. nr.d
similar organizations to sustain the
morale of the Army and the Navy.
Jesse E. B. Cunningham also ad
dressed the meeting, and emphasizo.i
the necessity of oversubscribing the
quota.
At headquarters this morning, it
was explained why the SIBO,OOO
quota not only must be subscribed,
but greatly oversubscribed.
Army Is Growing
"When tho budget of theso or- I
ganizatlons were computed, they
were based on data assembled las'
spring." said David E. Tacy, citv
chairman. "At that time 'it was
supposed that the American Army in
France would number not more than
one million men. Now it numbers
close to two million men, and unless
the quota Is greatly oversubscribed
some of these soldiers are not going
to receive the comforts that arc
absolutely essential to maintain their
morale."
Seven Drives in One
Solicitors who began their work
to-day, the industrial canvassers who
will conduct the drive among the
business establishments next week. I
and tjie home canvassers who will
take up the drive in the homes No
vember 12, 13 and 14, will base their
pleas for large subscriptions on tho '
fact that the United War Work cam
paign eliminates six drives.
"The people must remember that
formerly they contributed during
separate drives to each of these
seven organizations," said Mr. Tracy.
"Now they are contributing to them
all at once, and they should give
sums according to the needs of the '
seven organizations. A good way
to figure the amount that should be '
contributed by each person is to total
the amounts given in the former
drives, and give the lump sum to
the United War Fund canvassers."
Large subscriptions need not be
paid in cash. The pledge cards
which are supplied the canvassers
will take care of that, officials say.
These cards pledge the contributors ■
to pay a stipulated sum in three i
months' time. Payments will be
made to George W. Reily, treasurer
of the fund. Contributions under
$lO must be made in cash.
