Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-10-22

This morning the Tulsa Ariuy OF
Liberty begins the last week OF the
drive for Tulsa's share of the second
Liberty loan of 1917. With but two Of
the five millions raised-leavinR three
millions to be obtained before Tulsa
reaches its goal-the Tulsa Army of
Liberty faces the hardest task ever
undertaken by body of men 10 this
city
Realizing this the men in charge Of
the drive spent most of their time yes
terday clearing the way for prompt
action this morning. In all the
churches of the city appeals were made
for workers as well as bond buyers.
Soldiers in the Army Of Liberty worked
In the holy cause of their country by
visiting their friends and neighbors.
Quite a few thousand dollars worth
of subscriptions were obtained in that
way.
Even the fraternal organizations are
getting behind the movement. Yester-
day officers of the Elks lodge met and
voted that $40, 900 of the surplus funds
of that lodge should be invested in
Liberty bonds. Other lodges are ex-
pected to follow the example and will,
according to information received at
campaign headquarters.
City Is Awakened.
This town Is sure awake" said n.
r. Graham, director of the campaign
in northern Oklahoma, last night. II
answered telephone calls up to mid
night Saturday night and they started
in again at 6 O'Clock Sunday morning.
Americans of Tulsa are beginning to
realize that they are In a real fight
not a frolic."
Officials wish to request people who
have signed pledges but have not made
the first payment to call at their bank
at once and make this payment. as II
is necessary that this first payment be
sent into the government with the sub
scription. The lists close on the night
of October 81 ard the banks cannot
handle only so many subscriptions at
the last moment on account OF the
clerical work involved.
For this reason IL is hoped that
those who have made early subscrip-
tions will complete their good deed by
making their first payment so thai
their subscriptions may be sent
into the government on schedule,
BE There Tuesday Night.
All arrangements have been com.
pleted for the big rally in Conven-
ton hall Tuesday night. II is thought
that Tulsa people would rather have
some first hand information about the
war from Tulsa boy than TO simply
hear more details about the political
situation. For that reason there will
be no other visiting speaker than Carl
G. Magee, jr. Mr.. Magee arrived In
Tulsa yesterday from France and has
arranged to use his best efforts to
help the Tulsa Army OF Liberty do
its duty and put Tulsa In the ranks
Of those cities that can answer pres
ent" when the role is called.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Lilah ID.
Lindsey. Miss Clara Kimball and j.
Burr Gibbons spoke to an audience OF
five hundred colored people in the
Dreamland theater Following the
meeting a committee of colored bust
ness men organized a branch OF the
Tulsa Army OF Liberty. which will to-
day begin a drive for America among
the colored people of the city.
BOY scouts had reached and passed
the 100000 mark yesterday AlthO
most Of these soldiers have to go to
school they will be In active service
again today within ten minutes after
school is out.
One Thought UppcrmOst.
Fred Shaw continued in his role OF
the most sensational seller of Liberty
bonds Shaw is inspired with the
spirit Of the drive. Saturday night a
policeman came to arrest him because
one of his workmen had connected a
gas stove without "A permit. Before
