ARE WE READY?


enter the great European war, accord
ing to the free-lance commentators
which are pretty thick throughout the
union. This is not denied, in fact, at
official Washington it is partially ad-
mitted through the repeated delay IN
advancing on Germany because Of her
repeated depredations on American life
and property.
But when will we be more ready
than now?
Will it not take an actual declara-
ton of war before the American gov
eminent and the American people Will
prepare in earnest
Not one whit of criticism would oei
Utter against the conduct of affairs at
washington, realizing that mass OF
Information guides the master hands
in their movements. Still, if the Unit
ed States through the initiative of its
government, had taken the same stern
steps when the Lusitania note was
written as it is doing now, there might
not have been same state of affairs as
exist today. But, that is in the days
of the long ago for whole centuries are
being lived in one short week now.
The opinion of the United States is
rated rather low in Germany so far DIS
her military and naval readiness are
concerned. If our preparedness had
begun in earnest two years ago, we
might have spoken with a deep-seated
as the representative Of
the neutral nations of the earth.
The masses of the people never con-
template participation in the European
war on their battlefelds with our SOL
diers. But, that is not remote. Should
it be adjudged by the authorities that
the United States refrains from mill
tary participation, it would be logical,
yea an act of self-defense, to begin the
formation of an army of million men
to be ready for any eventuality.
The part which the United States
will play in a war on Germany would
command active service
through the navy.
Next, would come assistance in pro-
visions and supplies for the Entente
There would be the financial aid,
greater than all others possibly be
cause of our present gormandized con-
dition.
Then, there would come the aid Of
our inventors and scientists. Our efic-
iency experts and organizers would he
sent to Russia to aid in building rail-
roads; factories, and systematic her
transportation.
There are many things which we can
do-and will of necessity, be forced to
do.
And in the meantime, the people who
live now in peace and plenty under the
Stars and Stripes, can remember that
it is the British lads in Flanders; the
fighting French at Yerdun; the Italians
among the Alps; the Russians in
stricken Poland-they are the people
who hold the German hordes at bay,
and save them from severe action
against US. The British navy furnish
es us a barrier as valuable as two mil
lion men.
In war times, the burdens must he
borne and all honest obligations must
be met

To AID Government,

Inc TACT Is, according to the state
ment OF friend the other day, Mr..
Mcfariin has already determined that
all his income will be contributed to
the government in some way or other
as long as the war continues. He
reels that this is a duty he owes to
ms country and he is going to live up
to IL.
incidentally, II might be said that
II all the big wealth of the country
would manifest similar Willingness to
shoulder its part of the burden that
war mas brought, the president would
hot nave had to ask congress in his
message last Monday to give HIM
more power to curb the spirit of greed
that nlaay manufacturing interests
are showing.
SO Mr.. McFarlin has decided to cut
the Christmas tree that has adorned
MS home every Christmas for Ioany
years and tho money that would have
been spent for presents will go 10 the
Red Cross. Not that this amounts to
so much, for Mr.. McFarlin, notwith-
standing the great affluence which
MS oil investments have brought him.
IL sui democrat and q plain liver.
He indulges In no extrava gancies sur-
rounding himself only with those com
1orts that are considered essential.
iSut he thin% II proper that in some
way every family should begin to
chop off iuxuries and give the money
tfat would be spent on them to the
Red Cross and otheg worthy funds
mat are part of supporting the gov
eminent in its emergency.
To Live FrugaIly.
So he is going to live simply and
irugally because he thinks it is his
duty to do so. and the duty of every
citizen to do so, and thus set an ex-
ample to others who will be forced to

Many families in Tulsa will have
