Thus writes Warren Cornell In an interesting letter to his mother, Mrs. Lou Ellen Cor nell Philips, 802 East Yamhill street, Portland. "1 am not venturing a guess as to when that time will come because I don't think anyone can answer that as yet, but I want to say that it isn't worry ing me a bit. I feel this way about it: I gave my services to my country and I am going to try to hold up my little end of the work. It is alt the little pieces thrown together that will bring the war to a speedy and successful end. The more pieces we have , that fit in hor- moniousiy tne sooner we can get norae and back into the old life again. Great Things Belag Dose . What we need to end this war is men and . more men and the supplies for them. Believe me it takea a lot of sup plies, too. to keep even one soldier go ing. Just to give you an idea. I hap pened to read the other day . that it takes the wool from 20 sheep to cloth one man. Think of that for only his woolen garments, to say nothing of cot ton, food and the countless other items. Our country has done some wonderful work in the last year away ahead of some other countries that I know of. The people -at home do not get all the facts to be able to appreciate this be cause the government is so busy it Isn't spending all Its time telling what It is doing and going to do, but is getting it done so easily and swiftly without the talk that the people at home do not be lieve that it is doing anything. If I could only talk I could tell you some of the things they are doing to my knowl edge, that wouldn't even have been thought of by the countries over on this continent. Nuf Sed! On that line you know I always had a pretty warm spot in my heart for Uncle Sam, so why should I keep raving. "Waits to See More "We have been here some little time and have had a fairly easy time, too easy for it to last. I sometimes wonder how we have been so lucky. But I want to move more and see more of the TELL WHAT THEY ARE DOE TO HELP Vi THE WAR Civic League Speakers Telh of Work bf Red Cross and Results in Europe.
