STANDS BY
WILSON
Consensus OfExpressiOns al Farm Bureau
on War Situation Shows Purpose to
Support Wilson Policy

The general opinion OF those in
Chickasha who have expressed them
selves SO far is to stand by President
Wilson in whatever he does.
Only one wants peace at any price;
several want war without any further
delay. Others would hesitate to bring
any further hardships on the German
people, as they feel that the kaiser and
not the German people are to blame.
Following are some Of the opinions
expressed:
Whatever Wilson says goes.
~Ieles an endorsement to actions Of
congress and President Wilson. "
"Stand by President" mo war for
me-" Keep out of war" Back the
president in his actions" Il am for
peace, but if war comes, go in to win "
i am firm believer in a peace policy,
but not peace at any price; | will stand
by the president" II am for war. 2
Il am ready to 60 to war" 1T is time
to put the kaiser out of business,
though we have no quarrel with the
German people" Respect both block
ades7 Il am for peace if it can be
obtained with honor to America, if not
am for war" peace first, if we can
have 1t, If not let's fight to a finish .
Il am for war with all Of our forces. !"
Il am with the president, and If nee
essary send an army to help France. =
1t is very disappointing, however, to
note that so few people are expressing
their views on this important ques-
ton. Expressions may be submitted
to Jonas Cook, president of the Com
mercial and Farm bureau, any member
Of the bureau or phoned in to ia

Unprecedented response has been
given to the Y. W. C. A. fund in the
whirlwind campaign which was insti-
tuted by the O. c. W. girls to help
make up the $1,000 which will be re-
quired for their 19111S budget for next
year in order to maintain the work
that has been takensup by that branch
Of the institution. When Miss Gilbert
placed the amount which she hoped to
secure in two days at 5000 she did not
fully appreciate the nberality Of the
Chickasha citizenship nor the hearty
sympathy with the work which is en-
(entained locally.

Carranza Refuses TO Reply or mo
to American Queries Regarding
Alliance With Germany
COMING WAR WILL
Be BITTER STRUGGLE
U. 5. Cannot Wage Passive Warfare But
Must Fight Issue From Several
Probable Angles
By United Press.

Oy OulL6u FESSS.
Washington, March 31.-Germany
may have recognized that state Of
war between her and the United States
exists, according to the Interpretation
by the state department of Foreign
Minister zimmerman's speech.
This Interpretation is based on a
quotation from zimmermans remarks
saying, "The United States cannot de
ny us the right to seek allies when it
has itself practically declared war
against us"
The state department would not in
terpret this remark as being full Off
cial recognition of a state of war but
said the remark might be" so inter
preted.
This angle of the international situ-
alton will probably be injected into
the presidents address to congress.
Mexico Engages Attention.
As the hour Of the apparently ineyi-
table approach of Americas entrance
into the war draws near Mexico even
more than Germany, is engaging the
attention of the war department.
Carranza has never disclaimed in
terest in the German contemplated al
lance with Mexico. The state depart
ment's specific request for an express
sion of Mexicos official attitude to.
ward zimmermans proposal has been
ignored, almost insolently. 1t is ac-
cepted as a certainty in the event of
war with Germany, she will renew her
attempts to ally Mexico against the
United States, In the light of this
certainty the very uncertainty created
by Carranza's s silence is in consequence
to be construed as menacing
There is no feeling on the part Of
the government that American partic-
ipation in the war will be or can be
Of the passive sort and there is no ex-
pectation that Germany will content
herself with defensive attitude to-
ward the United States. In conse-
quence. it is assumed that if hostili-
ties begin it will be impossible for
this country to maintain friendly rela-
tions with Germany's allies, Austria,
Bulgaria and Turkey

Their souls are bubbling with laughter
Themselves are eager for play;

As happy as larks are they
on Christmas day at the noontide
They are. like the sunbeams, bright
The table with good things loaded
To them is a pleasant sight
Or Christmas day at the noontide
The hall is with holly bright.
On Christmas day in the evening
Still gladly the children play;
1t seems they're not a bit weary,
Although they have romped all day; Z,
ON Christmas day in the evening
They still are of spirit gay.

How happy the children. are.
With shepherds DER fields they wander
In search of the Christ Child far;
On Christmas night in glad Dreamland
They follow the magi's star.
