The Teutonic allies have asked for peace,
at least, that terms Of peace may be
brought under discussion. Peace cannot
be had for the asking. Germany might
have insured peace, might have averted
the war, by Joining with England and
France and Russia in staying the hand Of
Austria. She refused. She cannot now
have peace upon her own terms. Her sin
and the harm she has done have been
too great She must and viii make peace
upon terms that In Mr.. Asquith's words

those terms. They win be proposed to

pose, they will have to bestir themselves

The problem Of maintaining an army of
10000 men will be left entirely to the
War Department authorities. In order to
meet this tremendous demand they have
divided the nation into small districts
and have determined that It will be neces-
sary In 1920 to have one recruit from each
1000 OF population in the United States.
In this manner recruiting officers have
told Just what will be expected Of them.
The recruiting officer having charge Of
Marion County, Indiana, for instance,
would know that he must obtain approx
imately 800 recruits from the county each
year. But there Is grave question as
to whether this number could be OBJ
tained from Marion County, and It Is
doubtful whether one recruit to Loo Of
population could be obtained in any COM,

SADNESS IN THE FIELD
Dundee School Closed for a Day in
Memory of Troy Sykes.

Troy Sykes, whose death was re-
ported yesterday while he was en-
route to his home in Georgia, was
very popular in the field. He was
member of the Dundee school board
and the school there adjourned yes
terday out of respect to his memory.
The members of the board sent SO
to Georgia to be used in the purchase
of flowers at the funeral, and in ad-
dition to this sum the rig builders
in the field with whom Mr.. Sykes was
associated in his work also sent mon
ey for flowers. On account of the
distance it was impossible to send the
flowers. There was sadness through
out the entire field caused by the
death of Mr.. Sykes, whose brother,
C. e. Sykes, resides in this city and
who was with his brother when the
end came.

for the purpose of raising funds to

cemetery. This cemetery was set
apart to meet the needs of small

of the field and the congestion or

the needs of the people, and much

it larger and in improving it. All
persons who are interested in the
field, whether they can attend the

contribution to the fund. Money

Tucker Shades White

The boxing contest at the garage
last night offered the fans of the city
some clever amusement and where
the crowd was not as large as it
should have been, the fans got run
for their money.
Jay Mayes and Guy Holmes went
on for 6-round preliminary which
was anything but a scientific demon
stration, although it afforded the fans
real amusement. frankie Manila and
Nate Jackson went on for siXround
exhibition which was one of the best
features of the show. Both are clever
boys and demonstrated that they are
entitled to all the favorable press no
tices that have been given them,
frankie Tucker and Jack White
were on for the main event for ten
rounds and put up a pretty exhibit
ton, with honors in favor of Tucker,
although the difference was not great
enough to boast about White and
Tucker are two clever boys and put
up a fine exhibition that had the fans
on their feet most of the time.
After the bout last night Manager
Edwards of the Ardmore Athletic Club
stated that Tucker was a conner and
bound to go to the top He has speed
and class, good generalship and a
thorough knowledge of the game, and
with proper handling would be at the
head of his division some day in the
near future.

REVIVAL MEETING GROWS
Much Interest Felt-Worshipers From
Surrounding Towns Attend.

Surrounding Towns Attend.
The revival meeting conducted on
Broadway by the Church of Christ
grows in interest and crowd. People
from Wilson, Ringing and Marietta
were present last night. Many
speeches of approval of the preach
ing are heard from those that attend.
A great meeting is expected tonight.
The evangelist impresses his au-
dience with his deep earnestness.
and never fails to make plain his
lesson.
Last night he spoke on the cost of
SHINING. He said in part, that blood
because life was in it, was the only
atonement for sin; that God had set
apart blood as the atoning price.
The speaker declared that God had
always forbidden the human family
eating blood because it was dedl-
Gated for atoning purposes. He SAID
that since justice made the wages
of sin DEATH some death must atone
for all sin. Sinners must either die
for their own sins or accept the
death Of Christ for their sins.
Mr.. Armstrong stressed that God
was always willing to save fallen
men but that Christ's death was
needed to make it possible for God
to be Just while saving men; he
contended that the door of mercy was
closed; that God could not be Just
and exrcnd mercy till Christ die1.
He proved this by a passage IN Ro-
man 1926. God was willing to save,
hut couldn't till something was dore
to make 1t possible for GOD 70 save
men at all. Hence the cross of christ.
After wildly portraying the unset
fishness of God in opening the door
of mercy, Mr.. Armstrong appealed 10
the audience to know If they were
willing for God to name the condl-
tions on which he would extend TO
us his saving mercy. Would we al
low the great Father to say what
shall be the terms of acceptance OF
the mercy given through Christ?
While the audience was showing in
their faces their unwillingness to
leave it to the Father, the speaker
quoted: go We into all the world
and preach the gospel to every crea-
ture. He that believeth and is bap-
tized shall be saved" Mark 16:15-l6
The subject tonight is more about
the blood. All Ardmore should hear
these great lessons. 1t was said
on the streets yesterday that MI
Armstrong is the greatest teacher
that had ever come to Ardmore. Hear
him tonight.
