President Wilson urges unity to back a seven-organization war relief fund totaling 170,600,000 with Missouri contributing 5,000,000. The drive spans November 11 to 18, combining efforts of Y M C A, Y W C A, Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, Salvation Army, and American Library Association under government supervision to aid American troops overseas. Every cent funds welfare for soldiers in France and Belgium as a gift of patriotism.

George W. Titus of Mishawaka Indiana returns from six months overseas service to discuss the slow casualty list compilation for the United War Work Campaign. He explains that soldiers willingly remain at the front with trusted units, sometimes with French or British troops, delaying official notification as they recover or prepare for another tour of duty, leading to undetermined injuries or deaths before officers know their status.
