fifteen minutes later the official start

and. picking up five men who lacked
accommodations in the first thirteen
autos, overlook the band Of boosters
before they reached Anadarko.
The Chickasha group left for the
Tent City with the full intention OF
landing the trail. They were prepared
to show Colonel Harvey and the other
judges in black and white that their
roads would come UP to specifications.

Unofficial reports from outside
towns, however, are more encouraging.
Some Of these, it is estimated, will

sis OF Chickasha giving $4,000, which
was on a basis Of $4,000 for the coun-
ty instead of 100000. Members Of
the local business mems committee
which apportioned the quota OF the va
rious towns believed at that time that
the larger sum could be realized.

Active Work Of COnscripiiOn will PrOba-
bly, Begin About July Is is Guess
Of Registrar Murray

Although no definite orders to the
effect have yet come to the hands Of
the Grady county exemption boards,
r. W. Murray. who has had charge
Of the registration here, believes that
selective conscription may begin by
July Is. At least this is the date now
under the consideration Of the war de-
partment and though that time has
not been actually fixed, the selection
will begin within few days OF that
time in the opinion of Mr.. Murray.
July has been suggested as the ear
Hest possible date but it is thought
that July Is is the most probable as
it viii be difficult to complete ar
rangemoats by the first Of the month.

CAPTAIN FRENCH

On the transfer of Captain Frank d.

the following tribute:
A man of the ranks, his own person.

depot quartermaster with offices at 662
Broad street, Captain Franch appeared
on the scene long before the troops. To
him fell the lot of paving the way for
the onrush, of providing for their re-
healthy appetites. Day and night, unas-
sisted except by a few more or less ex-
perienced clerks, the work went on. Con-
tracts for stores, staggering in amounts.

oughness with which twas done is found
in the praise of the camp by those Of
ficialS who have visited it.
Later the captain appeared as assis-
tant camp quartermaster at Camp Han
cock TO him fell the task of detrain
camp. Again he made things hum and
concentrations from Major General
Clement himself attest to the way they
were done.
Torrance of official duties, duties it is
true well done but ordered. It is in his
personal relations that Captain French
has earned the greatest respect and even
swear by him and he's worth it. The
comfort the interest of "his boys has
always been paramount with this officer.
Discipline of course has been maintained,
but discipline applied as it should be with
no touch of oVerbearing and with whole
hearted conception Of the rights and feel
ings of the enlisted men till it has become
even plseant in it's application.
And SO these are the traits of Captain
French, a big man who goes Ito a big
place. The camp quartermaster detach-
ment knows he'll succeed wherever he
goes. thank him for what he's done and
been, and wish him that success that
is his just due.

knew that they are losing something
that is going to be hard to replace,

vacancies, and fill hem up. For the

LIBERTY LOAN VICTORY
CAUSES REJOICING

Great rejoicing in Camp and probably
in trench followed the report that more
than five billion dollars. (whatever that
may meanD has been subscribed for Lib
erty loan bonds. Following closely on the
three billion bond sale, this is good
record and it is perfectly clear, even to
the Kaiser. that we can do it again when
needed. TO be sure, four per cent. is
fair rate of interest. Also. there is not
a shadow of risk. Then, too, it is prob
able that when the war is over the bonds
will sell above par. So that the degree Of
patriotism reached by wealthy people,
who invest in safe four per cent. bonds
likely to enhance in value, is almost neg
ligable They make no sacrifice.
With the soldier boys it is different.
They are facing the supreme test of their
patriotism They risk life itself in the
great adventure for democracy and world
wide Brotherhood. And yet, they have
subscribed for the loan IN immense sums
in every camp, cantonment, fort, bar
racks and isolated post in the United
States. That they laid aside from their
pay one and half million dollars for the
use of Uncle Sam in the conduct of the
war shows a monetary interest in it's
success, which is phenomenal. Thrift,
foresight, good judgment, the ability TO
sacrifice in a good cause. these qualities
-foretokened by. this praisewortfy show
ing-wili help them in fighting this world
war to a successful concIusEon.
