MORE BtRBNRITY.

The news that German airplanes
have bombed American hospitals can
not be classcd as surprise, altho 1t
may be an additional reason why
Americans should the more vigor-
ously prosecute their preparations
for putting an end to this kind of
thing. Several times heretofore Ger
man machines have slaughtered
wounded soldiers in their beds and
killed the nurses who were In attend
ance upon them. So often has this
occurred. and occurred lin such n way
as to leave no doubt OF premedttated
murder, that we can no longer doubt
the report that the airmen have or
ders to kill the helpless and the mer-
ciful of other nations upon every op-
portunity The exceeding barbarity
OF such proposition has made us
slow to believe that the Germans had
lost all sense OF honor in the despera-
ton OF their conflict, but we can no
longer doubt the accusation.
The only explanation OF such bar
bdTlty lies III accepting unOtncr nardly
credible story. IL is not done for the
mere love OF staying. Brutal as the
Germans have shown themselves to
be, their brutality Is never purpose
less. Witness the scattering of poi
soncd candy among the children of
enemy communities. Witness the kill
ing and deportation OF men and old
women while the young women are
reserved for n worse fate. Witness
the kidnapping OF little boys OF other
races to be raised up as German chill
dren with German prejudices. II has
been alleged that the German plan
includes n design TO wipe out the
males OF all other races and to ulti-
mately people the whole earth with
men and women of German blood.
The horror OF such a plot seems too
Istupendous for acceptance, yet on no
other hypothesis can we explain this
apparently profitless destruction of
human life

EXPERIMENTAL STATION
PRACTICALLY ASSURED
Efforts of Chamber of Com
merce Seem Destined to
Meet With Success.

Tulsa is making every effort to be
designated by the nations councimen
OF washington as the site for the new
governmental oil and gas experimental
station
Following n short visit to the Of
ficers of several Of the local oil re-
fineries, producers and marketing
companies yesterday, Secretary Doug
las of the Chamber OF Commerce and
r.. Aaronson announced that they had
met with great success in their efforts
to secure $4,000 which is needed to
secure the station, and that there was
little possibility that Tulsa would fail
in the effort to get the plant.
The experimental station which Is
to be located in Tulsa, If the plans of
the Chamber of Commerce officials do
not miscarry. will be the only one Of
its character in the United States. and
1t will be the one to which the entire
oil industry of the world will turn
when problems of the industry CON
front them.
Several other cities in the mid con-
tinent field, two cities in California,
two in Texas and oue each in Mon
tana. Wyoming and Tennessee are in
the race for the plant, but from all in
dications, Tulsa Is leading the list.
Secretary Douglas. who leaves this
evening for Washington and other
cities OF the east. will present to the
proper officials in the capital the
claims of Tulsa for the plant. He will
be armed with the necessary induce
ments, and will place at the disposal
of the authorities, deeds to land which
will he "A suitable site for the plant In
the event this city Is selected.

BABY! DON'T FAIL TO
KEEP DATE PROMPTLY
Otherwise Your Time Will Be
Given Away; Work to Be
Done in Open Cage.

Today is the opening day OF the
baby show. At 2 o'clock this after
noon the doctors will begin their
search for the perfect baby, who, 1t
may be appended, is not much easier
to find than a black tulip or a purple
carnatlon.
Until O'Clock three doctors, at
tended by three nurses, will system
atically examine and pass on the per-
fections and imperfections OF Tulsa S
very young, turning them out at the
rate of one each fifteen minutes.
Tomorrow afternoon and Thursday
afternoon babies will likewise be
examined and scored, and it is es-
pecialfy urged by the committee in
charge that these babies keep their
appointments promptly to the min
ute. Otherwise the appointment will
be lost and the baby will not have an
other chance to be examined during
the fair. His place will be given to
some baby nearby who has not been
fortunate enough to register.
Thursay afternoon only will occur
the blue-eyed, black-eyed, dark hair
ed and fat baby contests and these
give promise OF much amusement and
interest, many mothers having speci-
fled their intention of entering their
children here.
Seventy-four babies have been en-
tered In the perfect baby contest.

would have them take are in the dis
tant, very distant future, from the
amount of unfinished detail work
which Is piled before them at their
desks In the city hall. 1t viii prob

men TO the district board has been
completed and arrangements made
for sending the second-class to the

The oil companies who have been

camped at San Antonio, Texas With
in two weeks the board members ex-

per cent of the net quota of 307 men

Unless the oil companies and other
patriotic institutions assist the board
by placing stenographers at their

or Tulsa may be one of the last to
supply its quota to the new draft

Condemnation Heaped Upon Sweden
for Being Used as Germany's Tool

ment regards as coming within the
obligations of neutrality and also
which it considers consistent with
the dignity of the Swedish nation"
The Times declares that the Swed-
ish disclosure on its face Is gross
breach of the elementary obligation
of neutrality and adds, "the offense
is more grave because Sweden has
been warned both in London and
Stockholm that 1t had been detected"
THE conduct of the Swedish minla-
ter In this case is objectionable, de-
clares the Post I'VE do not know
what the Swedish people think Of this
conduct which is as irreconcilabie
with honor and good faith as ii is
with neutrality. IT can only be hoped
that out of respect the Swedish peo-
Pile will repudiate and condemn the
men who so discredited Sweden's good
name"
Sweden Must Have known.
The Manchester Guardian assumes
that the Swedish foreign office knew
the contents Of the cipher messages.
II would be fairly easy for it to learn
them, the newspaper declares, as II
points out that what could he decoded
by employees of the United states gov
ernment could he decoded by employees
of the swedish government
But even If 1t did not" continues
the Guardian. "its responsibility Is no
less great II gave blank cheque
which could be and was in fact used
by one belligerent against other bel
ligerents and neutrals.
1--WE are tempted to ask whether
Swedish cabinets put themselves at
the disposition of Germany out OF
pure, dsinterested zeal or whether
they were promised an equivalent. Is
there any secret compact in which,
perhaps. the future of F'inland finds
place.
The Guardian assumes that the
Swedish people knew nothing Of these
transa ctions and will hasten the nee
essary measures to clear themselves
of the stain their government has put
on Sweden's good name"
