WARREN URGES LOYALTY
TO WAR WORK DRIVE

Fearing that the rumor that Ger
many has signed the armistice and
that the war is over will greatly
hamper the work of the United War
Work campaign, those in charge of
the drive are urging the people to
rally to the campaign and give it
their utmost support.
The campaign starts next Monday,
and even in the event that the war
is over, the money will be greatly
needed to assist in caring for the SOL
diers during the next year. as in all
probability the majority OF them
will remain abroad for a few months
yet.
The following telegram was re-
ceived at the Courier office this af-
ternoon from the United War Work
headquarters in Portland: -
GLORIOUS news-the armistice
has been signed by Germany. I'M
press Immediately the fact that State
Director Davidson and every official
OF the drive urge all possible pub
licity that the people must now give

heaviest welfare work is yet to be
done. probably covering years. Use

Deliberate killing by German

American army officers. It is as
serted that all during the Marne
battle. the German aviators swept
low over field dressing stations,
pouring machine gun bullets into
the medical units as they tended the
wounded and dropping bombs on
hospitals, although the Red Cross in
sigma was in plain view. The Hun
snipers picked OF Red Cross stretch

soldiers.
They acted Just like cornored
rats" declared an American infan-
try officer. except that most of them
did not have the courage to fight to
the death. When they were sur
rounded and had no chance, they
would come out Of their machine gun
nests with tears in their eyes and
cries Of 'Kamerad.' The German
soldier in pleading attitude is the
most loathesome and despicable i'm
aginable."
