The consensus Of opinion among states
men now in Washington is that there
lis no such emergency as will require the
summoning of Congress in special ses-
sion.
Senators and Representatives appear OF
ore mind that il Congress were In session
the President would be embarrassed
that the note just sent to Germany in
Wolves a diplomatic question solely that
the President Is better able to handle
without the interference Of possible Con-
gressional agitation or action. support
of the note was expressed yesterday by
many public men.
ct strongly approve the note Of Presi-
dent WILSON,. said Senator Shields. 1t
is an American presentation of the sit
uation. ! do not think 1t will lead to
war and do not think our people should
become unnecessarily excited because the
President Is capable of settling this
question through diplomatic channels.
In my Judgment, however, this note
should be followed with one equally
strong addressed to the British govern
ment calling attention to its violation OF
international law in Selling neutral COM
inerce and preventing the shipment OF
noncontra band. as that government has
been doing now tor some time. This OPP
country cannot stand for murder and
piracy on the high seas and neither
should We stand for the holding up OF
neutral commerce and noncontraband
trade. Tennessee and Kentucky are large
" interested in tobacco. We have about
$50 900. 900 worth of that product. Part
of the crop has been exported and
seized and our producers are afraid to
ship the remainder. Tobacco certainly is
not contraband and there should be alb
solute freedom of trade in this and other
products Of this country without inter-
ference on the part Of any Of the bel
ligerents"

WATERWAYS BIG EVENT

AS will be seen in another page Of
today's paper, Mr.. II. A. Waterman
has inaugurated a special price sale
in mems and boys wearing apparel,
to begin today.
The holding Of special sales is an
unusual "stunt" with Waterman's
Haberdashery, but as he purchased
rather heavily last fall for the win
ter's trade, and on account Of mild
weather did not have as heavy de-
mand as he anticipated, be has de-
cided to turn the goods into cash
even tho he must do it at a sacrifice.
TIE prices he is offering speak for
themselves. Read them over and
prcit by them.
As IS well known the Haberdashery
does not carry over stock from sea-
son to season, and this sale is made
simply to carry out this policy.

TULSA DEBATERS
IN FINAL TRYOUT
Six To BE Named Out of
Long List Of Aspirants
For II. S. Honor.

A dozen Tulsa high school boys will
make the final try OUT for places
on the two debating teams for the tri-
angle debate the latter part of this
week. Out of the number who try
for places, six will be selected. Three
will debate oklahoma City high school
in oklahoma City and three will meet
the Muskogee team in Tulsa.
The question for discussion is in re-
gard to the expediency of the United
States government establishing courts
of mediation for settling differences
between capital and labor. Ten or
twelve of the young men have done
exceedingly good work in delving into
the question and the matter of picking
the team will be a hard proposition,
according to the opinion of the school
authorities, as only half Of the candi-
dates are eligible for appointment.
The date Of the debates will not be
definitely stated for while, as Tulsa 3
coming into the contest a little late
has left the home boys at a slight
disadvantage and the other towns are
deferring the time, which is a favor
to the Tulsa boys. The date will be
set at time not later than the last
