As indicated in the above list, the National War Board functions in two
distinct territories—East and West—the duty of each being to administer
all War Work in the respective territories. The closest supervision is
given by each War Board over all expenditure of money and no scheme is
sanctioned until the judgment of the Board is carried concerning the
usefulness of the project and the sound financial proposals associated
therewith. After any plan is initiated, the Board is still responsible
for the supervision of the work, and for the Eastern department Colonel
Edward J. Parker is the Board’s representative in all such matters and
Lieut-Colonel Arthur T. Brewer fills a similar office in the Western
department. Each section of the National Board takes responsibility in
connection with the overseas work, under the presidency of Commander
Evangeline C. Booth for the raising, equipping and sending of
thoroughly suitable people in proper proportion. Joint councils are
occasionally necessary, when it is customary for proper representatives
of each section of the Board to meet together.
The National Board is greatly strengthened through the adding to its
special councils all of the Provincial Officers of the country.
