Dr. Mott emphasized the need of a large oversubscription. He declared
that it was imperative for the morale of our forces that sufficient funds be
raised to carry on the work of these seven great war welfare agencies and

ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions indicative of the spirit of the vast assembly were unan-

of their funds;
RESOLVED, that we heartily accept the recommendation of our
President and of the War Department and pledge that we will to the
fullest of our ability participate in making this united campaign a
success.
Mr. Harwood moved the adoption of the resolution. J. W. Disch of
Milwaukee, seconded the motion and the conference unanimously carried
it.
The second resolution, which by a unanimous rising vote of the con-

was introduced by J. F. Martin of Green Bay, who moved its adoption.

its quota of $3,390,000 in the United War Work Campaign for $170,-
