A Letter From a Soldier The following letter was received in the editor's mail from Second Lieut. R. H. Lee, second depot battalion,} It speaks for itself: “Editor The Star: I have given a great deal of thought 9 the requirements placed upon our country to win this war. responsibility rests upon me and every other soldier and flor. The brains and sinews must go to the front and ‘or the top’ to meet Fate in action. This we are anxious to do with a will. However, there is the question of ‘with best of luck,’ and that is largely in your hands at home. “Every soldier's relative and friend owes him support, ad you are going to do two things if I am to fight my best n the hour comes for my supreme test. You will keep Liberty Lights burning in my home country by voice action. Insist upon the uninterrupted manufacture of Navy supplies and support the raising of money the cause of Liberty thru fire and flood, both in tax payments and Liberty Loan issues.” wh ; We don’t know much about Creel’s standing with | the public, but if the United States senate will keep on ' attacking him he may become popular. Flock of Motor Ships Of very high importance is the action of the federal board in granting permission to the Atlantic & Pa- Steamship Co. to put a fleet of motor-driven ships into campaign against the U-boats. The permission is granted restrictions barring conflict with the government's building plans and is intended as encouragement for interests to contribute all they can toward defeating submarines. The A. & P. Co. will now place orders for 150 3,000-ton oden ships with Oregon shipyards and in these ships the engine bids fair to come into its own. The motor- n ship can be built of smaller timbers than are neces- for other types and there is a saving in boilers, piping, rs, pumps, ete. A 3,000-ton ship is not a very big one but a flock of 9 of them will help some. Any ship of any size, wherever pin ore, got to have. Every yard of German progress in France is an aon for America’s preparing for a separate war with Germany.

You can have the daintiest things and have them long, HAT is the beauty of Lux. It is so very quick and easy. In an almost unbelievably short time you can transform anything which is limp and dingy into a refreshing, dainty garment Who thinks of waiting, nowadays, from Monday to Wednesday for her blouse to be laundered?
