URGES CLUB WOMEN
 | ID GRASP CHANCE FUR
 SERVICE OF FUTURE

Harvest war wisdom to the service of the future"
 This is the advice given club women of America by Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, president of the general federa- tion of womens clubs. Tn letter re- ceived by Mrs. H. A. Guild, president of the Arizona federation, Mrs. CoWles charges her to use her influence with the women of this state to make the most of the opportunity for carrying out the constructive policies that war has demonstrated to be essential to womens public service.
 Mrs. Cowle's letter of recent date forwarded from Los Angeles is as fol- lows:
 My dear Friend and worker:
 All over the country, as we club women know, the majority of success full leaders in Women's war service have been women who have received their training in clubs. But more than this is true. We, ourselves, have received new vision of the value of our own work, since the greater part of the service which the government has laid upon US, during this time of stress, has been along lines that the federation has already been pursuing. Now We see
 
 valuable in the making of an efficient nation.
 One thing more. All over the United States there are thousands of women, who, up to this time, have never seen the value of organized work, until war ] blaZed it large upon their conscious ness. Now, they will never want to drop back into the old inertia and in difference and lead do nothing" lives.
 Soon the war emergency organiza- 1 tions will begin to disintegrate. It would seem folly, and worse than folly, if the ] federation should fail to realize that i this is a great opportunity to harvest this war enthusiasm and vision, and also newly awakened women into club i life.
 { The general federation of women's s 1 clubs is the one great, permanent or 1 SaniZation, fully equipped, to carry on 1 all of the special constructive policies | that war has shown to be essential to | women's public service-a unified America, a nation of industrial fairness and efficiency, country that gives | every child it's maximum of opportu ] nity in health and education, a people that knows it's own resources and brings them into their greatest service | l wish to urge every state president | every director, and every general fed eration state secretary, to make the most of this new opportunity. Line UT all your state workers; find out what new women have developed war eff ciency in every community and get them into clubs. Gather new clubs into the federation. Speed up the under standing of federation policies anC their relation to national well being. Harvest war wisdom to the service of the future.
 Make the federation, both state an( general, the fine organ of women. work that we know it can be- With the seasons greetings,
 Faithfully yours,

ABE KORR|CK NEAR
 TO 4 COMMISSION

That the signing of the armistice at that particular time was all that kept Abe Korrick from receiving a com mission was learned yesterday by his brother Charles, when a letter was re- ceived from Abe. The letter is in part as follows.
 Tours, 11-22-18
 Dear Charles; As you have seen from the above, I am now at Tours, France Arrived here last night for the purpose of being examined for a commission in the quartermaster's corps. However, have been informed that as long as the armistice has been signed no commissions will be given to anyone. But we have to go through the examination just the same, in the event of an emergency that they will have the men they need.'
 A Christmas card, also received yes terday by MT. Korrick from George Me Neil, son of MT. and Mrs. II. H. Me Neil, old time residents of this city was the first information that Judge McNeil had received a commission. The card was signed Lieutenant Me Neil, 10th division, headquarters de- tachment, quartermaSter' corps"
 Now that the censorship has relaxed am permitted to tell you of my doings and whereabouts since my arrival in France. When we first got here we were stationed in a small town by the name of Precy. The entire division was around that neighborhood. We were called the 9th depot division, do- ing principally replacement work, that is, troops would be sent to us and we would equip them and send them on to the front. About month ago We were detached from our division and sent to a place called Chelles. This place is located about IS miles from Paris doing the same kind of work. You can see from above that our division wasn't fortunate enough to be sent to the front line. though most all of the men were sent to the front except noncom- missioned officers and about half of our officers.
 Have been to Paris twice, and all l can say is there is only one Paris in this world. It is without a doubt the most beautiful city in the world

INF FLUENZA CASES
 STILL DECREASING

Yesterdays inspection of the infu- enZa situation showed a considerable improvement over that of the day be- fore. Seventeen new cases were report ed, of which six of the ten in hospitals were brought in from other cities. Thus in reality only eleven new cases occurred in the city itself. Fourteen releases were made during the day, of which five were from hospitals
 Yesterdays report showed that 169 cases of influenza still remain in Phoenix, 57 of them in hospitals. One death from the disease was reporter
