That Salvation Army Smile

Several thousand veterans of the Argonne Forest recently entered New Fork harbor. Among them were several badly woundedi 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 the 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 10l ‘over there,’ and, flrat 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 frou' line was the smile that accompanied the gift. Those girls had a knack ol wrapping up every doughnut and every cup of coffee in a smile. The doughnuts were fine, but the smile —-that took the place of powdered sugar.” Th* Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign for $13,000,000 opens May 19 to last one week. * , '
