Prospects of an early peace make it imperative that the people of America subscribe generously to the United War Work campaign which starts Monday. When hostilities cease the soldier will want to get back home at once. This is impossible, say army and naval authorities. It may take two years before all the troops are transported home. This period of inac- tion will be a strain on our fighting men. The seven war work organizations which provide reading matter, home comforts and entertainments for the soldiers, claims on unofficial returns received | ° will be taxed to the limit of their ingenuity in order to ease the strain of home desire. Don’t desert our soldiers when they have won our fight. - DECEMBER BIG SEATTLE STRIKE ‘Thru the narrow-mindedness of some of the officials of the Motal ‘Trades council, newspaper ers were barred from the meeting this morning.
