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.
