Several thousand veterans of the Argonne Forest recently entered New
York harbor. Among them were several badly wounded .Marines. One man,
easily distinguished because of a coat sleeve that dangled empty at his side
and a Croix de Guerre, was making his way slowly to iiie waiting ambulance
when a Salvation Army girl approached him and offered doughnuts and coffee.
"Now I know I am home," he said. "Those doughnuts helped a whole lot
'over there,' and, lirst crack out of the box when we land, we find more wait
ing for us. The best thing about the Salvation Army work out near the front ,
line was the smile that accompanied the gift. Those girls had a knack of
wrapping up every doughnut and every cup of coffee in a smile. The dough
nuts were fine, but the smile —that took the place of powdered sugar." The
Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign for $13,000,000 opens May 19,
to last one week.
SALVATION ARMY
.VALIANT IN WAR
Having Served Gloriously in the
Trenches, Is Coming Back
From Overseas for Peace
Time Activities.
ASKS HOME SERVICE FUND.
National Campaign to Replenish Re
sources Depleted by Long and Di
rect Contact Services With
Our Boys Scheduled for
May 19-26.
New York (Special).—Like the
2,000,000 American boys whom it
served so gloriously In the trenches of
France, the Salvation Army is coming
back from overseas, ready to put aside
its khaki uniform of war service, don
again the "Civvies" and embark once
more on its normal peace time activi
ties.
And, just like those doughboys, the j
Salvation Army has come out of the j
war victorious and with citations for
bravery, decorations for gallantry un
der fire and golden chevrons indica
tive of honorably won wounds on its
arm. The victory which the Salva
tion Army has won is a victory over
the obstacles that lay before it In its
purpose of efficient service of the fight
ers of Pershing's army. Its citations
are the thanks, cheers and prayers of
2,000,000 doughboys. Its wound stripes
are rightfully golden of hue, for they
typify the unselfish way In which the
Army threw all Its resources—finan
cial, spiritual and moral —Into the ef
fort to help the American soldiers In
France.
Now the Army is asking the people ;
of America to give It concrete evidence
of the gratitude which has been so
loudly, and so willingly expressed.
From May 19 to 26 the Salvation Army
will conduct In the United States a
campaign to raise $13,000,000 for Its
Home Service Fund. The money Is
needed both to recoup the fortunes of
the Army, shattered by its long service
of the soldier and to permit it to carry
on the work It has always done on the
larger scale which the public now
demands. Raising the money by j/lis
means, the Salvation Army explains,
will eliminate, perhaps permanently,
the necessity for the ceaseless solicita
tion of funds which has been a bug
bear to the Army and the public alike.
It will permit the workers of the Army,
who, forced to devote more than half
their time to gathering money, were in
consequence only half efficient in their
evangelistic and social service work,
to devote all their time in future to
the duties for which they have been
trained.
The amount of the .fund has been
determined exactly and logically by
means of budgets prepared locally by
workers of the Salvation Army in all
parts of the United States.
Already headquarters for the cam
paign have been established In New
York City. A ready response in en
couragement and cheering wishes for
success has been heard from all parts
of the country. Men and women
prominent in all walks of life have
volunteered their services as active
participants in the drive. The Army's
2,000,000 loyal rooters—the boys who
went overseas in khaki —are all lined
up ready to help. The Army not only
helped them over there, but it found
jobs for many of them after they had
been mustered out of service, helped
them get the civilian clothing that was
necessary if they wanted to take those ;
jobs, fed many of them, gave them
shelter and furnished them with trans
portation to their homes.
For the war service of the Salvation
Army is still under way. Its workers
are still, many of them, in France, and
its huts, clubhouses and hotels for the
reception of the boys returning from
abroad are in full swing here.
Neither, the Salvation Army asserts,
j will its war work be abandoned until
the last boy is out of the khaki of the
i army or the blue of the navy. The
larger activities which necessitated the
coming campaign will exist and be
financed independently of the service
of the fighters from abroad.
CARDINAL GIBBONS
ENDORSES S. A. DRIVE
Venerable Churchman Expresses
Hope That $13,000,000 Will
Be Raised.
The following letter was addressed
to former Governor Whitman of New ,
York state by Cardinal Gibbons:
"Honorable and Dear Sir —I have
been asked by the local Commander of
the Salvation Army to address a word ;
to you as National Chairman of the
Campaign about to be launched in be
half of the above named organization.
This I am happy to do, and for the rea- !
son that along with my fellow Amerl
can citizens I rejoice in the splendid
service which the Salvation Army ren-,
dered our soldier and sailor boys dur
ing the war. Every returning trooper
is a willing witness to the efficient and
generous work of the Salvation Army
both at the front and in the camps at
home. I am also the more happy to
commend this organization because it
is free from sectarian bias. The man
in need of help is the object of their
effort, with never a question of his
creed or color.
"I trust, therefore, your efforts to
raise $13,000,01 >0 for the Salvation
Army will meet with a hearty response
from our generous public. Faithfully
yours,
"J. CARD. GIBBONS."

Asphalt, with which so many road 9

Many years ago, in Switzerland, nat

for more than a century it was used

SALVATION ARMY NEEDS
Annual Budget Shows Reasons
for $13,000,000 Drive.
Vast Activities Conducted by 1,000
Corps in United States —
Future Plans.
New York. —(Special)— The annual
budget of the Salvation Army, contain
ing a detailed and comprehensive state
ment of the cost of maintaining its va
ried activities throughout the United
States, has been issued from National
Headquarters, 122 West Fourteenth
streer. The statistics show why it is j
necessary for the Salvation Army to j
go before the American people in the
week of May 19 to L'o and ask them to
contribute $13,000,000 to its Home
Service Fund.
There are 939 corps and outposts of
the Salvation Army in the United
States. The cost of maintaining these ,
is *2,685.000. The maximum income '
which these, corps may expect fr in \
collections in meetings, contributions j
of members and other outside contri- :
tuitions is s11'».000, making tiie i.et io- i
tal cost of supporting the corps $l,- j
970.0' >O.
The cost of maintaining divisional j
and provincial headquarters, which su- j
pervise the work of the local corps, ;
will be, according to the bu '.get, $530.-
0< »< >.
Besides the work of supervising the
local headquarters, the provincial and
divisional headquarters are in charge
of several of the Salvation Army's i
largest activities, including the opera- j
tion of fresh air camps for children, i
relief and employment bureaus and the j
provincial bands.
Under the heading of "national and
territorial obligations" the Salvation
Army includes the expenses of main
taining what are among its best known
institutions, those which may be group
ed under the general name of "social
work." For this purpose the Army
wants .$1,270,000.
The pension fund budget is $400,000.
The Salvation Army has determined
on the erection of many new buildings
for social work in the future. The
building program will require expendi
tures of $1,875,000.
The remainder of the amount sought
for the Home Service Fund is for
corps, divisional and provincial build
ings and a small contingent fund.
Details of the Salvation Army's ac- |
tivities in the United States for the |
last year show how remarkable is the
scope of the Army's endeavors and
what vast numbers of people it serves.
For instance, the Army maintains sev
enty-five hotels for men and women.
Last year 1,656,528 persons found
sleeping accommodations in these.
Beds were supplied for 127,889 chil
dren in the Army's four children's
homes in the same period, while 48,-
510 children were sheltered in the slum
nurseries. In the industrial homes
beds were supplied for 1,742,815. In
the rescue homes and maternity hos
pitals 1,899 girls went under the care
of the Army last year.
The Army has 2,918 officers and ca
dets in the United States. Last year
they preached to over 24,000,000 per
se* is.

THE $13,090,000 SALVATION ARMY POSTER
'
"A man may he down, but he's never out," the Salvation Army slogan,
furnishe : ihe tlu.ie for the official Home Service Fund Campaign poster de
signed by P"re(. ?rick Duncan, the noted artist. From this he has evolved a
striking artistic creation, typifying the hand of the Salvation Army reaching
our to rescue who are enshrouded in the clouds of poverty and vice. A
Salvation Army lass is the principal figure, and the scarlet lining of her cloak,
thrown back as she enfolds those who are calling out to her in dislress, fur
nishes the poster with its one spot of brilliant color. The background is of
blacks, grays and greens, indicative of the storm clouds of misery and want.
EVANGELINE BOOTH TELLS
HOME SERVICE FUND'S NEEDS.
Evangeline Booth, commander of the
Salvation Army in the United States,
explaining the purpose of the cam
paign for $13,000,000 which will be
conducted from May 19 to May 26 for
the Salvation Army Home Service
Fund, said:
"The Salvation Army has been toil
ing on the upward trend for more
than ha*f a century, doing just what it
did in France, all in the same spirit
and manner, but you did not happen
to hear of it, perhaps.
"The war depleted our forces and
our finances at home. There must be
not only a rehabilitation now. but we
must rise to the new high-tide mark
! and equip ourselves to maintain here in
the United States the Contracts we
were privileged to make on both sides
of the sea because of the war."
The Salvation Army Home Service
j Fund campaign for $13,000,000 will be
conducted during the week of May 19-
26. Its success will enable the Salva
tion Army to practically double its
. efforts among the poor.
The Salvation Army returns from

I half century old battle in the trenches
!of poverty in the United States. Re

Not Much of a Pusher.
It was the elevated station at 8:30
on a weekday morning. The advice of
the Irish guard who helps close the
gates of the rear cars was an educa
tion in itself. But he had a competi
tor in a girl who was doing her valiant
best to get on. "Push, push," she
urged of a weak little masculine beside
her. In a wish-washy voice he replied
that he was pushing. Back came the
swift retort: "You make me tired?
You push like a jellyfish!" —New York

Important Rivers.
•Tust as Egypt has been made by
the Nile, so Mesopotamia has been

The view put forward with some au
thority that the rivers should be kept ,

depended upon for transport is chal
'erged on many grounds, one of which
is that irrigation and navigation can
be effectively combined, and indeed
made mutually advantageous for
many years to come.
