I have just returnad from a
conference in Chicago with of-
ficials from Washington and
from five other Division Head-
quarters. ft is uuanimous con-
census of opinion that even
though an armistice be signed,
which would indicate an early
peace, the wrork of the Ameri-
can Red Cross will not in any
way let up.

Dear Vesta, Will and Billie:—
1 have not heard from you in-
a coon's age, you must,have had
a fit.
Nina, Ona and Mamma each
wrote me they had just heard
from me “over here.'’ Nina
says Billie still remembers me
and, believe me, I remember
my mail twice. The tirst time.
I got nineteen letters, it took .
me over two hours to l ead them, j
I could of read a hundred if L
had got them. Would not ot
been in this soon but I was not
feeling extra good, and as we
were going by the barracks, I
stopped and got a_ relief. My
feet are so sore I can hardly
walk on them. This detached
service is a joke in one way, we

We have a new Dr. in our

We don’t have gas drill here
at the Barracks any more al-
though they still drill with the

Vesta said Will made some
very uncomplimentary remarks
about the field north of the
bridge, f suppose the most of
it is smutty. I have not seen a

These French men have a
bottle of wine or beer with them
most of the time, but have seen
but very few drunk.
It rains about every day now;
it is so sloppy all the time.
I am certainly glad you are

PIONEER COTTON MILLS
Work Not Finished
On Feb. 10 last year, nearly
six weeks before United States
dec ared war, National Red
Cross Headquarters advised its
Chapters to prepare for war.
That whicli has followed in the
record ot the Red Cross in help-
ing to win this war aud to re
ieve the suffering growing out
of it, constitutes something of
whicli every American citizen
has a right to be proud. Every
American Red Cross worker
must feel a sense of gratitude
in haviug had a share in it all.
The moment is now come to
prepare for peace. Actual peace
may come at any moment; it
may be deferred for some time.
Until peace is really here there*
can be no relaxation in any Red
Cross effort incident to active
hostilities.
But even with peace, let no
one suppose that the work of
theTied Cross is finished. Mil-
lions of American boys are still
under arms. Thousands of them
are sick.or wounded. Owing to|
the shortage in shipping, it may I
take a year or more to bring our
boys home gtrom France But]
whatever the time, our protect-j
lagarms must be about them and |
their families over the whole
period which must elapse before
the normal life of peace can be
resumed.
Our soldiers and sailors are j
enlisted until the Commander
in Chief tells them there is no I
more work for them to do*in the
war. Let every Red Cross
member and worker show our
