LACK OF

Oklahoma City, Feb. 1O.-Indiffer
ence on the part of the better class OF
people to the perpiexing school prob
lens Of the state has been puzzling
to school officials. The recent cleo
tion in Oklahoma City in which a
school bond election brought out a
vote of less than 1900 in a city claim

bond issue was defeated, but the lack

more than the defeat

The situation Today.

BY United Presr
Washington, Feb. 1O.-The admins
tration, fearing that war or state Of
war; with Germany must ultimately
come, is anxious to keep alive the mar
tial spirit of America and wishes to
guard against the sapping influences of
an undue sense of security.
On the other hand, there has been
no manifest move to raise an army for
actual war though there has been some
trogress toward naval and economic
preparedness.
This epitomizes the governments po-
sition at the close Of one week Of bro
ken relations with Germany which
finds much neutral shipping plying
the Atlantic and serving in home ports.
Germany IS Staying Travellers On
ships in apparently indiscriminate sea
war and shipping is being destroyed at
the rate of about three quarters Of a
million tons monthly.
With terrific possibilities ahead, the
United States government is anxious
lest the peace propaganda and the abb
sence of war shall lull the nation into
uniIstifiable calm.
The government is preparing itself
for international difficulties and there
is talk of an army Of half a million
men with some discussion Of the var'
Gus forms Of military service.
