In other wars, that change from military back to civil life has been a dangerous one. Let’s make it easy, safe and smooth for our old Yanks! Let’s see that every hour of every day while they are cleaning up the job and waiting for their ships is filled with wholesome fun and entertainment. Let’s give them lots to do and lots to see and hear. _ Think what it can mean to millions of Americans to get acquaint- ed with the real France—the history, the traditions, the art and beau- ty which they have done so much to save! Plans are mapped out to make our period of demobilization a regular “khaki university” and every soldier can come home with something of the background of those who used to go abroad to study. In camps and huts and billets here and over there our fighters have shown that they want to get ahead. Books that instruct, books on technical subjects, and on civics, government, on history and business, are in greater demand than books of fiction. When our fighters come back they will be better men in every way than when they left. But we must stay with them until they get back home! Why You Should Give Twice as Much as You Ever Gave Before! The need is for a sum 70% greater than any gift ever asked for since the world 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. Unless Americans do give twice as much as ever before, our soldiers and sailors may not enjoy during 1919 their: 2,600 Recreation Buildings 2,500 Libraries, supplying 5,000,000 1,000 Miles of Movie Film oks 100 Leading Stage Stars 85 Hostess Houses 2,000 Athletic Directors 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 every step of the way from home to the front and back again. You provide him with a church, a theatre, a cheerful home, a store, a school, a club and an athletic field—and a knowledge that the folks back home are with him, heart and soul! You have loaned your money to supply their physical needs. Now give to maintain the Morale that is winning the war!
