Addressisng Hundreds of
... ' Nation's Workers.
' ABERDEEN", Wash., July 20. (Spe
cial.) GrayB Harbor and Charles M.
Schwab, director-general of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation, joined recent
ly In a friendship that will long en
dure. Mr. Schwab completely capti
vated the people of this city with his
warm smile, " genial handshake and
speeches. v
Mr. Schwab spoke four times during
his stay here of less than 20 hours. He
talked to the workers at both ship
yards, addressed a banquet gathering
and upon one occasion left the hotel to
talk to a crowd that had assembled.
."While I am a rich man, I do not
feel the sense of possession. My great
est pride is in the accomplishment of
things that will benefit my fellow man.
Wealth Is Side luue.
"Money is only a mark of success.
While I have wealth, fine homes, coun
try estates, autos and yachts, nothing
counts so much as the joy of knowing
you have done a useful duty in life.
"I disagree with the statement and
disavow my reputed ability to handle
great problems. I am not of those who
believe in the sanctity of great men,
such as masters of finance or of cap
tains of industry. My greatest boast
is that I am a plain, every-day Ameri
can citizen, proud of the title, and will
ing to do my duty by my country and
fellow man.
"My greatest aim is to make a suc
cess of the shipbuilding programme.
I have paid no attention to the great
Bethlehem steel works for several
weeks, and would be willing to sacri
fice it entirely in order to win success
as head of the shipbuilding programme
and thereby win the war."
Mr. Schwab said that his visit to the
Pacific Coast had opened his eyes to
the wonders being accomplished here
In the shipbuilding programme.
Mr. Smidlak, Cincinnati banker, said
that any report regarding the success
ful shipbuilding work on the Pacific
Coast could not be too optimistic to
suit him.
Speaking of the work of the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation, Mr. Schwab
said that in two months he had let
contracts for 1500.000,000 worth of
ships and would have expended double
that sum had materials been available.
I'aciflc Coast Landed.
He said that recently he received a
telegram that the great Hog Island
plant would launch its first ship Au
gust 1, and that thereafter one steel
ship of 9000 tons, would be lminched
daily.
Mr. Schwab predicted that the United
States would build 10,000.000 tons of
ships during the coming year as
against 3,000,000 tons, the greatest
production In 'any one year by Great
Britain.
Reports that the wooden building
program would be abandoned, Mr.
Schwab said, were erroneous. The
wooden shipyard, he declared, will be
kept busy with many additional con
tracts. He spoke of the war as more serious
than most people realized. "Win It we
must," he said. "We cannot stop short
of victory. The old flag has never
waged an unjust war. It has never
been defeated and never will be."
Mr. Smidlak spoke of the necessity
of capital and labor working together.
He praised Pacific Coast shipbuilding.
Saving, he declared, is one of the
great needs of the Nation at the pres
ent time. The man who saves a dol
lar a week would have $8000 in 40
years, he said.
The war, he said, necessitated saving
In order that the bills might be paid. .

M. L. Kline has started a movement
among his business associates to make
It a matter of regular business to write
to their former employes who are now
in the service oversea and in camps
In this country. Mr. Kline recently re
ceived a letter from one of his former
employes. A. M. Russell, of the Royal
Air Forces of the British Epeditionary
Force, which tells how welcome letters
from this side are.
"Every one should write and send
clippings from current newspapers, if
possible, or entire newspapers," said
Mr. Kline. "Just a few lines to the
br.ys every week or 10 days will be a
great help.
"Don't wait for replies. They are re
ceiving their letters, and their expres
sions of delight certainly repay one
many times for the effort. Sometimes
the do not get these letters for several
weeks. Then they get a number of
them at one time, and anyone who has
been away from home for a short or a
long time knows what Joy there is in
hearing from loved ones. To these

In which we had our nhare, we received
very little mall. It was the hottent time I'd
had since I've been In France. I was In the
battle of Arras during April. 1917. but It
was nothing to what has been doing thin
year.
I have not had my leave as yet. and. what
I more, I don't expect to get any until next
Winter aa all leave la stopped. In my Job !
see a lot of the country, and I might tell
you that there are American troops all over
the place. They have been slow in coming,
and' they have not come any too soon,
either. They are a fine lot of boys just the
sort me want. When I tell them thai ihrrv
Is a war on. and that they will not go back
before lftltu. they only laugh. Little do they
know what they have to go throuch. Yes,
this war Is going to last another Winter.
You must forgive me for not writing you
before this. I've oTten wanted to, and at
night when I go to bed (?) I smoke my
pipe and think of my friends In Portland
and of the good time I had there, and won
der If I thai! ever see them aagln.
Just a little advice to you. or to anyone
you know mho has loved ones out here In
France, or likely to be sent overseas
Don't Worry. Says Russell.
There Is no need to worry. Being In
France doe's not mean that they are in
danger of being killed or wounded. I have
been here nearly 17 months without stopping
anything, and I know some w ho have been
here since IB 14 so, why worry ?
There are lots of things I would like to
write about, but cannot do so. We have to
make our letters short and sweet.
I am feeling fit. and getting along all
right. .It Is not so bad here now that It Is
Hummer and good, dry weather, but the
Winter Is cruel. Sura, we've got to go
through another Winter, but we'll Just carry
on. and smile, and do a lot of cussing and
swearing It all helps to win the war.
