Why you should give twice as g
| much as you ever gave before!
THE need is for a sum 70% greater than
any gift ever asked for since the war
began. The Government has fixed this sum »
at $170,500,000.
By giving to these#seven organizations all
at once, the cost and effort of six additional
campaigns is saved., • .i' ■
Unless Americans do give twice as much as
ever before, our soldiers and sailors may not
enjoy during 1919 their
3600 Recreation Buildings
1000 Miles of Movie Film
k—... 100 Leading Stage Stars
l; l 2000 Athletic Directors
1 2500 Libraries supplying 5,000,000 books
85 Hostess Houses
15,000 Big-brother “secretaries”
Millions of dollars of home comforts
When you give double, you make sure that
every fighter has the cheer and comforts of
" these seven organizations i#y step of the \
! way from home to the front and back again.
You provi 5.e him with a church, a theatre, a
cheerful home, a store, a school, a club and
an athletic field—and a knowledge that the
j folks back home are with him, heart and soul!
You have loaned your money to supply their T
g physical needs.
Now give to maintain the Morale that is
\ winning the war!

TT was just a quiet little city in the Middle West a few months ago. Lefa
i Call it Peaceville, because it was just like dozens, cf other cities before the
war came along and changed them overnight.
In normal times, Peaceviiie’s population was about 10,000. Lne lan
smoothly and there was plenty of leisure for everybody. V|s|
Then came the war. And with it came a camp of 50,000 men at the
very outskirts of Peaceville. Soon the soldier s came pouring into town <*Jj
20,000 at a time—looking for something to do. . * ' ' pfe |
Every hotel, every restaurant, every candy store, every movie show,
the one small theatre—all these put up the Standing Room Only
The sidewalks and the streets were packed. The men were on leave, en- J
titled to have a good time, and there was nowhere to go! v r|
A call went out from Peaceville—a call for help. It went to one of
these organizations which called in some cf the ethers and shoulder-to,.,.,j|
shoulder they went to work. > v v
And look at Peacevilie now!
\ See the Soldiers’ Clubs, the cafeterias, the sanitary barber shops, tne>
information booths, the homes where soldiers are invited to come for dinner,
the good theatrical attractions free to men in uniform, the dances where the j
nicest girls in town can meet the boys upon a wholesome, friendly ground.
Seethe hostess houses at the camps where- the mothers, fa the. s, sisteia
and sweethearts can meet their boys in surroundings that seem like home.
See the way the automobile owners give a lift to every‘bean they meet
upon the road. Go to entertainments organized and sponsored by the ,,
churches and civilian clubs and fraternal societies and public institution *
See how profiteering has been run clear out of Peacevilie.^ ' m|
\ XJp and down this country, wherever troops are gathered in the great
cantonments, this problem of Peacevilie is being met. Even in the b-igget.L
cities where a few thousand soldiers more or less hardly seem to make much
difference, this work has been and is quietly going on—to find diversion tor
the men on leave, to open up the great big heart of cities, to c* g-—u—
their hospitality.
This problem of morale begins at home. Right at our doors our fighters
must be started right. Morale will hasten victory. Give, to let these organ\
zations help your boy every step of the way from home to battle-line c.b
back again.
