LONDON. Nov. »•. I learn on high au-
thority that an atta« k toward Berlin lt-
nelf is being prepared by the allies
through tb»- door opened by Austria's sur-
render. Bohemia will be the tiase. The
allied armies released by the ellirtlnation
of the Macedonia front and tlie Italian
forces now fre»> for "operations elsewhere '
will be utilized in the drive. Germany is
kn<»wn to have insuffielent troops to halt
the bb>v even If she should be successful
In withdrawing her western line to the
Mease. This latter operation is doubtful
of success, however, especially if good
fighting weather keeps up for a few weeks
more.

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 six addi-
tional campaigns is saved.
Unless Americans do give twice a3 much as ever before, our 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 S,000,000 books
85 Hostess Houses
15,000 Big-brother "secretaries"
Millions of dollars of home comforts
When you give double, you make sure that every fighter has the cheer and com-
forts 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!
