Close Harmony Under Fire

THE men had finished supper, and sat around in listless groups. Even when a shell went zooming overhead they showed no interest. They were fed up on this war. A little gray car chugged up the hill to their camp. Two war work men stepped out, carrying between them a curious long box. "What you got there ?" asked the doughboys. "An organ." "Well, can you beat that!" "We've come to give you a little entertainment," said one man. "All right?" "You bet it's all right," answered a young officer. "This gang hasn't seen a soul from the outside world for weeks. Go as far as you like." And they did. They sang the new songs, just over from Broadway. In a minute the whole camp was singing them. Then they sang the verse of a good old close-harmony melody, and the crowd roared the chorus. "But haven't you men got anybody who can sing?" asked one of the entertainers. The response was immediate and overwhelming. "Sure we havel Oh, you Shorty! Come on, Happy! Give 'em that 'Perfect Day,' Billl" And then things really started. "Would you know it's the same gang?" asked the American officers. For two hours it lasted, and then the visitors packed up their organ. "Come again soon and send more of your men," said the officer. "We can't get too much of itl" "So long!" yelled the men. "Good luck! Come again!" Wherever there are American soldiers overseas, these organizations are carrying entertainment to them. Movies, concerts, lectures, local talent, even fullffledged comedies with a truck for the stage, from the simplest sing-songs in the woods to the most elaborate program in city theatres, everywhere free entertainment is provided to meet conditions.

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 sis additional campaigns is saved. Unless Americans do give twice as much as ever before, oar soldiers and sailors may not enjoy during 1919 their:

3600 Recreation Buildings 1000 Miles of Movie Film 100 Leading Stage Stars 2000 Athletic Directors

2500 Libraries supplying 5,000,000 books 85 Hostess Houses 15,000 Big-brcther "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!
