As on yesterday, there was heavy profit
taking by longs. and values underwent a
moderate setback.
Present conditions in the market are so

RESPOND TO
CALL FOR
RECRUITS

Major Charles N. Barney. U. s. A..
retired. iE charge of the army recruit
ms stations IN Oklahoma, was here
yesterday from Oklahoma City for the
pun pose of inspecting the local re-
crniting office which is in charge OF
Sergeant Crone. He expressed him
self as well pleased with the results
of the work here. especially the char
acter OF the men that are enlisting.
Under a recent order the regular
army Is 10 be increased to full war
strength, affording an opportunity 10
all young men who want to follow the
career OF soldier. DurirS the past
year 5000 men applied for enlistment
In Oklahoma and of this number 500
we're accepted. With the opening Of
8 number OF sub-stations in the state,
the one in Chiokasha, Major
Barney reports marked increase in
the number OF applicants.
What | will say is not official; it
is not based on official knowledge" ;"
said Major Barney. "but it is my be-
lief that the war department is not
only trying to prepare the army as
quickly as possible but is testing what
can be accomplished by volunteer en-
listment for the regular army.
"Can we get enough men by volun-
teer enlistment to support an army of
the size we need-or will conscrip.
ton become necessary? That is the
proposition, as see it.
I'VE are calling on Oklahoma to do
her part in this movement. oklaho-
ma not only can supply her share OF
the additional soldiers that are need
ed by the country. but also can take a
part in proving that conscription will
not be necessary"

DAMAGES
ARE SOUGHT
BY SHIPPER
Delay in Delivery Of Stock Alleged as
Cause Of Suit; Two Cases are De-
cided Adversely to Railroad
Company

In the district court this morning
the trial Of the case Of A. H. English
w. the Rock Island railway company,
through its receivers, was taken up
and the jury empanelled before the
MONDAY recess was taken.
in this case the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover damages for a delay in ship
ment of stock over the lines of the de-
fendant company, during the month
of February, 1915, from Rush Springs
t. Kansas City. Plaintiff alleges in
his petition that the railway company
contracted to deliver the stock at the
Kansas City terminals within q spec
flied time and that 1t failed to do so
aud that, owing to this failure the
plaintiff was materially damaged
through changes in the live stock mar
kets.
Defendant will offer as defense
that its servants used every possible
means to comply with their part of the
contract, but that a severe storm was
raging at the time and that the rail
way company was badly handicapped
in handling any and all freight trains
and that through this storm the deliv
cry of the stock of the plaintiff was
delayed
The following jurors are trying the
case: J. S. Tatman. S. A. Forsythe
Henry McWhorter. John Graham, S
NJ. Canaan, l. G. Wood, Will Sanner, S
]. Harris, T. H. Bennett, R. A. Thomas
T G. Gam.

Rock Island railway company, OF
trial yesterday afternoon, the jury re
turned verdict for the plaintiff
awarding him 500 damages.
In the matter of TX. Hardy VS.. tht
Rock Island railway company, also OF
trial Yesterday afternoon and par
of this @orning, plaintiff was givei

Washington, March Following
cable advices concerning the torpedo
ing of the British steamer Eagle Point,
it is believed today that only the
prompt, complete settlement OF the
entire submarine question can prevent
the threatened rupture in diplomatic
relations between the United States
and Germany.
1t is thought that the Immediate
cessation Of such attacks and the alb
roeawon Of the armed merchantmen
Gecree may prevent break but it Is
rot believed that Germany will make
such concessions promptly.
Announcement OF the torpedoing OF
the Eagle Point came in message
from the United States consul at
Queenstown last night, saying the yes
sci was torpedoed without warning
100 miles from land, all on board. in
Guiding one American, being saved.

El Paso. Tex, March 30.-With ten
thousand American troops engaged in
the Villuilun and a portion of them
three hundred miles inside the border,
the problem Of transportation for sup
plies today overshadowed interest in
the actual chase.
The agreement with Carranza, ii is
said, gives the army no advantages
over private individuals. The princi-
pal reliance seems to be the growing
lire OF auto trucks, nearly two nun
dred of which are now in service.
This service is said to be adequate
TO present demands but railroad SER
vice with good equipment would lift
a tremendous load. The only avail
able equlpmaht on the Mexican-North-
western road is one mixed train.

affairs in the history of the capitol.
Angry criticism arose, some charging
that the promotion was due to favor
itism. Roosevelt asserted that he did
not recall at all the fact the General
Pershing was a son-in-law of Senator
Warren when he promoted him
or his three little baby daughters
who were burned to death when his
wife lost her life, one was born in To
kyo. Japan, in 1906, while the then
Captain Pershing was military at
tache at the japanese embassy: one
was boru in Baguio. Philippines, in
1908, and the youngest was born in
Zainboango, Philippines, in 1912.
General Pershing's first fighting was
against the Indian outlaw Geronimo
on a punitive expedition into Mexico
in the late eighties. He later fought
against the Sioux Indians in the Da-
kotas, served as military instructor OF
cadets at the University of Nebraska,
and as administrator of affairs in the
provinces of Mindanao and Jolo, Phil
iprine Islands. He speaks almost
every modern language, as well as the
tongues OF many Indian and Philip
pine tribes. General Pershing was
sent to the Mexican border in 1912,
ard served continuously there.

SECRETARY
+, IS. WANTED
BY Y.W.C.A.
College Students Start Movement to Raise
Funds to Pay Salary Of Trained
Worker; Cooperation Of Citi-
zens is Sought
tBy o. G. w. Reporter)

For the past few days much real Ill
terest has been manifested in our col
lege about the proposed secretary for
cur Young Women's Christian asso-
oiation
hat brings up a discussion.
What is a Y. w. Secretary? Do We
need one? And what will be her
work?
These are some of the questions
asked. DO you understand them, and
can you answer them2
She is a college graduate who is eS-
pecially fitted for this work by study
in a training school and by practical
experience, who, upon receiving suf-
ficient salary may and does devote
her whole time to the Y. WIS welfare.
She viii be a good mixer" and SO.
called '1ive wire" Herself an active
and interested Y. w. worker, she will
compel and attract attention to her
field Of work. She is exactly what we
need
The organization, to do our college
any good, must keep us in touch with
| Y. WIS all over the country; thus
| bringing us fresh ideas and nrw
thoughts. II must be an aid to every
student, sort of ''in loco PARENTS
for her while shesis in school, because
/ this is not denominational school
and no church is in any way response
/ bic for the spiritual growth of the col.
lege. All these needs can be summed
UP in "a Y. w. Secretary" The
growth and development of the local
oder will. be her sole care.
She will arrange pleasant social
events, she will manage the financial
affairs Of the association, she will Ell
courage and broaden the field of So
cia;sservice. and she will increase the
membership and stimulate more ac
tive interest in this democratic frater
nifty of women. She will meet and
make welcome new girls. She viii
keep us in constant communications
with like organizations.
Can all these things be done by Z
student in the college? Can these
things be done by someone who is not
especially trained for that work?
No, they cannot. Hence, paid sec
retary for the Y. w. c. A. is absolute
ly necessary.
i How is the money to be secured foI
the salary of such a secretary
1n three ways may this be done.
First, through the efforts of the G
G w. students themselves.
| Second, through the help OF theii
faculty.
Third. through the cooperation o.
the citizens of Chickasha
The most loyal efforts are cominf
from the Y. w. members themselves
Small amounts of money are being
made constantly from the sale o
