Speaker above All, An American" Says
We are Not Taking War Seriously;
Describes Atrocities Of Germans
FLAYS GORE AND
OPPONENTS OF WILSON
Two Kinds OfPatriOIs; Warns Against Ger
man Agents; Committee Appointed;
Guardsmen Given Boost

In a thrilling and eloquent patri
otic speech that was interrupted by
frequent applause, Hon. g. J. Gid
dings held the attention Of a large
audience for nearly two hourse. at the
court house last night, reciting the
horrible atrocities that have been
committed in the other countries now
Engaged in the great world conflict,
the possibilities OF such hellish crimes
being committed here at home and
showing the utter necessity for or
ganizing a Home Guard to ward off
any assault that might be attempted
uopn this community
Mr. Giddings was introduced by AL
ger Melton and Mr.. Melton In his
words Of introduction took occasion
to praise the work that was being
done by the company Of Home
Guards that has already been organ
ized here.
Mr.. Giddings in his opening re-
marks stated that in -he past eigh-
teen years since he !. been max
ing speeches over the state he had
done SO as a Democrat and although
he yet believed in those Democratic
policies and principles he was above
all an American.
The speaker reached the climax Of
his address when in speaking of Gore
and other senators who opposed the
president, he said my fellow coun-
trymen am a Democrat and have
never yet scratched a ticket but AL
ger Melton, if the name Of Thomas
Pryor Gore is placed on the Demo-
cratic ticket as a candidate for Unit
ed States senator, even if you give
me fifty tickets to vote. I'll see him
in hell before III cast my vote for a
man of his type"
Take War Seriously
In words Of passionate eloquence
the speaker pleaded with his audi
ence to take the proposition Of this
war more seriously. He said, "a ma
ton that has made the murderous
assaults that Germany has made, and
has committed the heinous and dam
nable crimes that she has committed,
in the face Of what seemed to be inn
possibilities, can commit these same
atrocities to American industries and
in American homes It is up to the
people of Chickasha and Grady coun-
ty to see that, and take such steps
as are necessary, to ward off the
commission OF such crimes.
There are two kinds Of patriots.
There is the patriot of the home and
the patriot who serves his country
on the field Of battle and under its
banner. One is just as necessary as
the other. Both are going to be ask
ed to make sacrifices that are I'M
equalIed in the annals of the worlds
history.
g There have been too many fires
too many distinctions in our indus
trial centers, to lay them all to mere
coincidents. You can not realize here
in Chickasha the real cause Of all Of
these big fires. You can believe
there is an outside influence in the
cause Of the destruction Of great IL
dustries in the larger cities ouE you
can not believe that It will be done
here. Neither could the people Of
Bedgium believe that German hordes

LONDON. Aug. IA. - Commenting on the British and German delegates lat the Hague, to consider questions relating to prisoners, the Law Jour. nal" says:
 Tt has always been understood hith- erto that the state of war operates a complete severance of all relations between the belligerents except that of pure force.

The Turkish soldiers in Anatolia are said to be in bad plight They are miscellaneously armed with Mausers, Martinis and almost any available kind of rifles and are commanded by German non-commis- stoned officers, whose rule is such as to provoke an irritation that cannot be disguised nor concealed.
 The situation is the worse for the fact that the fare of the troops is getting, steadily worse. Meat which once was plentiful and cheap, is now almost unobtainable, because the Ger mans are said to have sent away everything they could lay hands on | even to dead horses.

CANADIANS will occupy a place among the heroes who will be honor ed in story and song after this great conflict has long been forgotten. For gallantry and self-sacrifice Canada leads all other nations. Wherever the Maple Leaf has been on the bat tie front, that place has become the center of conspicuous gallantry. The world has never seen a finer body of men go cheerfully forth to uphold their beliefs than these fighting Can adians. Yesterdays battle on the Meetcheele Crest was but one of many instances where these troops have brought victory out of disaster, and added further laNrels to their long list of victories. It remains to be seen of the present conscripted- army equals in brawn and bravery that which vol unteered to help the Mother Country. But the Canadian volunteer will nev- CT have an equal. as he has tested one hundred per cent efficiency.

NIZINA BRIDGE
 CONTRACT TO RE LET

James E. Wilson, chairman of the territorial road commission, returned from the interior yesterday afternoon and reports that the work of building a new bridge across the Nizina river, for which improvement the last legis- lature appropriated $25, 1000, will pro- ceed as rapidly as possible. He is ac- companied by J. N. Schenben, design ing engineer for the commission, who has just completed a survey of the big bridge, which will extend for almost a mile and a quarter across one of the most treacherous streams in the in terior. The specifications are now be- ing prepared. and will be published in a few days. It will be pile bridge. and the contract let within the next two weeks. The piles will be gotten out this winter and driven as early in the spring as the weather permits.
 MT. Wilson reports that he has se- cured a contract from the Alaska Chitina Copper Company to transport 5000 tons of copper ore from their property on Dan creek to Mccarthy, a distance of twenty-three miles. This is believed to be subsidiary company of the Ladysmith smelter, which re- gently took a lease on the Westover group of claims, owned by the United Exploitation Company, of which H. D. Foster is the superintendent. A large body of ore has already been blocked out and will be hauled over the trail to the railroad at Mccarthy. MT. Will son has his teams on the way from Fairbanks and Chitina to Valdez, and from that point will start out for Dan Creek in November. MT. Wilson has taken over the Clarkins roadhouse and barns at Chittitu for winter head quarters for the teamsters and stock. He has also arranged for barns and headquarters at McCarthy.-Times, Oct. 27.

DANIELS SPEAKS
 ON SOCIAL EVIL

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Dealing frank ly and boldly with the social evil as a menace to the nations military ef- ficiency, Secretary Daniels of the navy, in an address here last night before the Clinical Congress of Sur geons of North America appealed tc the medical profession "to end the false double standard that decreases military effectiveness" The profess sion, he declared, must share it's part of the blame for the objectionable prudery that endured fostering evil rather than have it exposed and eradi- cated"
 "There is not an army in the field whose effectiveness is not reduced by reason of immoral disease" said Sec retary Daniels. "The navy suffers likewise and business halts because venereal diseases destroy the man. hood of workmen and fighters. Dur ing the last statistical year, men of the American navy lost Al, ,378 days sickness from a small group of ab- solutely preventable diseases or ra- ther disease contracted by sin. This means that every day throughout the year there were 456 men disabled by this disgraceful malady. Add to that number those required to care for the disabled and we have enough men on the non-effective list each day to man a modern battleship. And this does not count those who through disease were not disabled or the danger of contagion to the clean members of the crew.
