Excerpt from Welfare Campaigns in Iowa Although the welfare work, which was such a notable feature of the army life during the World War, would have been impossible with out the financial contributions of the many who saw service only in the ranks of the civilians, there will be a tendency to forget the welfare campaigns when the stories of the more roman tic episodes of the struggle are told. These campaigns, however, are not only of interest to those who would know how thoroughly the Nation was organized for war; they are also of the greatest importance to those who realize what these experiences may mean to the future of all social welfare.
