Lumbermen Hear from Chief Doughnut Man 



.Members of tlie Lumbermen's Association of Chicago were alTorilcd the 

 rare privilege on Monday, August 12, of listening to a live war talk by 

 Adjutant K. C. Starboard of the Salvation Army. The talk was more or 

 less In connection with the big drive of the Salvation Army Inst week, 

 and must surely have accomplished a great deal In lining up subscriptions 

 tor this most worthy purpose. The lumbermen's quota for Chicago ills- 

 trlct was $10,0(10. 



.\djutant Starboard was so chuck full of the subject and kept It coming 

 In such rapid lire order that the big audience present was held practically 

 spellbound tor a period of forty minutes. 



The talk was mainly devoted to the work of the Salvation Army at the 

 front, outlining the tnany difflcuKies under which the loyal workers have 

 labored so as to bring comforts to the soldiers on the other side In the 

 camps and. In tact, right up to the front line trenches. The work was 

 started wltliout official recognldon, but is now supported by the biggest 

 officials not only of this country but of the allied nations. 



The Salvation Army work, according to Adjutant Starboard, fits Into 

 a niche that is not occupied by any other relief agency. There are nutner- 

 ous testimonials from the men at the front who are of one accord in pro- 

 claltnlng the effort as most highly desirable and helpful. 



Adjutant Starboard's talk was not entirely devoted to the relief work, 

 but as he has served in France from the time the first American troops 

 went across and lias passed through most dangerous phases of war work, 

 he is well qualified to talk interestingly on subjects devoted to the actual 

 fighting experiences of the boys on the other side. Ills reports of the 

 things that he saw were not hearsay, but based on his personal observa- 

 tions, and the things he had to tell left little room for doubt as to the 

 truthfulness of a lar;;. p. , , , niii;, ,,r the atrocity stories of which the 

 (Jermans liave been >,i ■..u-,-t.ul\^ a. msed.
