the ambulance company. The ambu-
lancers themselves could see no need
of tears. They had joined TO do their
bit and now the government had
called upon them for this service. For
weeks. some for months. the ambu-
lancers have awaited this call. and
only the loyalty to their officers and
the devotion to their cause has held
the men in line together until the call
came
The ambulance company was or
dered to entrain ut 2:30 O'Clock, but
the railroad officials declared that IL
would be impossible to spot the neces-
sary rolling stock in time for de
parture at that hour. Another eN-
change of kilograms between Captain
Larcau and the adjutant general and
Captain Lareau and the war depart
ment and. it was announced that the
company would leave at 4 o'clock this
mCrning. Hasing their plans on this
information. all passes were called in
and leave until II O'Clock last night
was substituted.
Railroads Delay Departure.
Later, however. Captain Lareau an
nounccd that the railroad officials
had again entered into the plans of
departure and had informed the war
department that the moving of other
state troops had concentrated all roll
ing stock, with result that none
would be available for the ambulance
company until Monday morning about
o'clock This last Information. how
ever, was not definite, and it was de-
clared at the camp last night that or
dcrs t6 entrain might be received at
any time and that every possible ef-
fort was being made to secure cars
for the removal of the company to
Fort Sill.
So positive were the officers yester-
day morning that the men were 10

To accommodate the members of the
company who were held at the camp
after o'clock yesterday, all of the
banks OF the city announced they
would remain open for business Of
the soldiers until o'clock. and scores
of the khaki clad men were thus pct-
nitted to transact affairs which would
have been impossible but for the

ARMY OF CIVILIZATION IS
PLAN OF TUlSA'S SOLDIERS
There l. to BE No Class or Clan Dis
tinction Except the PrussiaIis.

Captains H. q. Laroau and V. T..
Moon, commanding the Tulsa ambu-
lance company and the Tulsa engineer
company, have asked Secretary Doug
las of the Chamber OF Commerce TO
prepare "A constitution and set of by
laws which viii be used In the forma-
| tlon of an organization which, IL has
been suggested, Is TO be forged out Of
the armies OF all nations fighting un-
der the flags of the allies. The or
ganizauon, which Secretary Douglas
proposes should he called the Grand
Army OF Civilization, will be composed
of the warriors of every nation which
has placed .ts shoulder to the task OF
stamping out the Prussian greed for
gain.
Tho Plan.
Before body composed of local
army officers and members of the
Rotary club. Colonel Douglas yestcr-
day afternoon read the following out
line of his plan:
out of the great civil war was
evolved two military organizations,
the Grand Army of the Republic and
the United Confederate Veterans. the
names of which will last as long as
history Is written.
out of the present war for civiiza-
uOn an organization along the same
general lines has been evolved-and to
Tulsa comes the honor OF the plan and
the initial organization OF Post No. |
in the Grand Army of Civilization.
The officers and members OF the
Tulsa ambulance company after a
conference with Col. Clarence B.
Douglas, who originated the plan,
adopted and perfected the first or
ganization on the eve of their de-
parture from Camp L. w. Sinclair as
Post No. /. 1t is the intention OF the
organizers to make the organization
world wide. all soldiers cnlistng In
any of the allied armies being eligible
TO membership.
Ask Others to Aid.
The officers of Post No 1 G.. A. c.
Will ask other units to organize SINH
lar posts, and 1t is expected that with
In "A short while after the ambulance
company reaches France the orSanZa-
tion will have representative posts
from all OF the allied nations.
A suitable button and ensign will be
designated Immediately and all eli
gible members will display this on
their uniform.
That the organization will be popu-
lar and appeal 20 the soldiers of the
allies is forcgone conclusion and
that the metal button of the Grand
Army OF Civilization will be an open
sesame in all countries now fighting
the Hun is an assured fact

The CITY TAX RATE
PROBABLY Be RAISED
COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER MAT
TER AT MEETING TONIGHT.
NO INCREASE IN TAXES.

The city council will meet in reg
ular session tonight, at which time
the matter of making the annual tax
levy will be considered
The levy last year was $12 on the
thousand, and Clerk Bell says it will
probably be fixed at S13 on the
thousand this year. According to the
clerk the city has been running be-
hind with it's finances the past year
or two, and it will require 10 mills to
meet all obligations. He attributes
the necessity of a higher tax rate to
the increased cost of the city schools,
which received $3.50 from the pub
lie treasury the past year.
The city has borrowed to the limit
allowed by the charter, $4,000, and
will be short of funds until the col
lection of taxes is begun.
Small Increase in Values.
The report of the city tax assess
ors shows a small increase, $124,-
654, in the tax values of the city
this year. The total this year is S2,-
160,945 as against $2,036,291 last
year. Of this amount the whites own
$2,031 $50 and negroes $128,995.
A levy of IS mills would bring in
to the city Golfers S28,092.28.

SECOND PRESENTATION OF
LOCAL PLAY WELL RECEIVED
Author and Cast of Characters Are
Again Recipients of Much Praise
For Their Spirited Melodrama.

For Their Spirited Melodrama.
The second presentation of the
Wars Triangle" a melodrama both
written, directed and played by Daw-
son people, was given at the "Pleasu"
theater to what seemed even more
appreciative audience than at its first
engagement, when many critics de-
clared it better received than any
former play of its kind in Dawson.
Possibly to the many who attend
ed the play on both occasions the
real ability of the writer, Emmett
Riordan, was no doubt more forcibly
brought out, for in following the first
performance the individual charac-
tiers were naturally watched closely.
The plot as we'll as the natural con-
versatiOn of the characters deserve
especial commendation.
The several characters showed
themselves more accumtomed to the
footlights as well as less conscious
of the presence of the audience, due
to the experience of the several per-
formances, and as whole deserve
commentator.

TERRELL FARMERS NOW
GATHERING TOBACCO CROPS
The Weed" Has Done Well, This
Year, and Will Encourage Large
Acreage in This County.

A number of Terrell's best farm
ers are busy gathering fine crops of
tobacco, quantities of it having al
ready been well cured. Some of the
crops are maturing so much faster
than was expected there is not sufi-
cient barn room for curing. The
good seasons of rain have made a
rapid growth, and the remainder of
the crop will have larger leaves until
it gets near the top. This being a
new industry in the county will make
the first crop more expensive because
of inexperienced labor But those
who are growing it say it is more
trouble now than cotton to make,
but it will not be any more expen-
sive when the labor gets onto the
job.
