It is necessary that other men and women go overseas, separating themselves from their vocations and domestic ties in order 'lo carrv the influences of Hie home, society and the church to the 'men in the 1 i i I i i 1 1 j-C lines. To supplv the void in the lives of the men in our country service the United Slates government has duly authorized seven organizations to look after the wclfarcof the men in the service. These organizations are: Young Men's Christian Association Young Women's Christian Association National Catholic War Council Jewish Welfare Hoard War Camp Community Service American Library Association Salvation Army These several organizations have accepted and are discharging the trust in manner that has commanded the admiration of the world and the everlasting gratitude of every man in the service and those left at home.

The giving of moral and financial support to this work is an especial privilege given to us at home, by which we are able lo take directly a small part in the great conflict for humanity. It is a privilege everyone should enjoy and accept to the uttermost. Therefore, Arthur Capper, Governor of Kansas, do hereby proclaim to the citizens of the state of Kansas that during the week beginning November 10, every American should give of bis strength and his means to the fullest extent to the United War Work, that these allied organizations may continue lo carry on the work already allotted to them and extend it wherever needed. Our men in the service must experience no interruption of communication with home and no modification of this great morale-making work which has definitely entered into their lives and has brought to them happiness and courage. 1 urge that no person neglect his duly to those lighting lor him in our training camps' and overseas during the coming- NVl(k' ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor.
