Campaign aims to fund war work huts in France
The United War Work drive plans ten state subscriptions from November 11 to 18 to fund huts for soldiers in France. Huts from YMCA, Knights of Columbus and Salvation Army will travel forward with the army, potentially reaching Berlin if armistice terms shift. Prominent church groups pledge broad support with posters and mass meetings led by figures like Dr. John Grier Hibben and Governor Capper.
