Jle Declared KOLLOCK WARNS OF PREMATURE PEACF I'tare Without the Crushing of Ger many Will Mrin Victory for Ger many, end All Talk in America Must Be Stopped by Council of De fense. The war workers' meetftig held last night at the Presbyterian church brought out a representative attend ance from all over Linn county, the home guards of the county all having representatives present. Albany and Lebanon had almost a full company present and the officers of the Crab tree, Mill City and Halsey companies were here. The first meeting for war workers was addressed by J. K. Kollock, state secretary of the council of defense, who made an earnest plea for better cooperation among those who stay at home, and urged the elimination of unnecessaries. Mr. Kollock believes that Oregon people should give all their efforts toward winning the war and that no move should be made which is unnecessary and which does not have its effect, even if in an indi rect way, on the western battle iront. Mr. Kollock urged that peace ru mors be taken with a grain of salt. We will hear of more peace propos als," he declared, "and they will come from Rome as usual. There will be many Americans who may say, 'let us stop,' but if Germany secures a peace before a decisive allied victory, she will have secured her end, and accom plished her ambition, that of Mittel- euro pa. When this premature cry for peace comes we must have the firmness to crush such talk. That is one of the jobs of the council of defense." The church was well filled with the war workers from all over the county. and with the registrants. At the last minute it was decided to hold one meeting instead of two, and after Mr. Kollock's address the men remained and heard a talk by John B. Hibbard. This was especially for the draft men, and they were urged to keep them selves in condition to report to camn ready to start without a physical handicap on the job of being United States soldiers. Major Hibbard's message was one of earnestly advising draft men to ar rive at camp in fine physical condi tion. He especially cautioned themi about taking one last fling of hilarious living before entraining for Camn Lewis. The government wants all draft men to come to camp free of disease said Major Hibbard. "Up to last De cember, one out of every 18 men that arrived at camp waa in a diseased condition and had to be sent to the hospital within four days of their ar rival. In the 31 cantonments last year on their arrival there waa a total of 22,790 men who had contracted di sease shortly before leaving for the camp." Major Hibbard is a believer in hard work and plenty of it. "When a man has too much time to think, he often thinks wrong. My advice is to work all day long and then if feeling a lit tie too lively, to chop wood .or an hour or so." Before the meeting started Major Hibbard reviewed the home guards from Lebanon and Albany in front of the church. He expressed himself as decidedly pleased with the appearance of the two companies.
