While the drive for the United War Work Campaign is just getting well under way, and will continue until next Monday, the percentage of subscribers is much below the number necessary to bring success, and the amount of each subscription is disappointingly low. In order to insure the proper amount which the University must obtain, every man must give, and give to his limit.

Enthusiastic reports are being received from the universities of this section. Large amounts are being piled up at Yale, Princeton, and Cornell. Yale's quota has been placed at $75,000, and the average subscription there is well over $30--which means that the military units are giving a month's pay in the great majority of cases. In the University, the marine unit is leading in the average amount of each subscription; they are giving $7 per man; the S. A. T. C. is averaging $4 and the Naval Unit is trailing with one dolar a piece. Unless these averages become very much larger, and the number of subscribers greatly increased the University campaign will fall far short of success.

The ending of warfare has not decreased the need of the United War Workers. On the contrary, it has very much increased the amount which they must have in order to carry on their work. A year or two must pass before the soldiers abroad can be returned to America. In that time of waiting for the day of embarkation there lies far greater danger to the physical and moral welfare of the men than existed when they were fully occupied in war service. They will have a greater amount of time on their hands, and they will find diversion and entertainment "somewhere"--your money will help to provide that--"somewhere", one which will be worthy of the proud reputation of the American soldiers in Europe.

The University must not be made conspicuous by cause of failure, but by reason of success. To obtain this result every member of the University--military, college, and graduate--must give to his limit. Whatever the amount each can give, everyone can give something. The aim of the University is a 100 percent, subscription list,--that will mean success to the campaign, and honor to the school.
