NORLD WAR ONLY BEGINNING IS
ON|NOUS BELIEF OF NORTHCL|FFE

Kansas City oct 26.-The dire ncces.
sity of a speedy and material increase
in American shipping as a war measure
was enunciated emphatically by Lord
Northcliffe. head OF the British war mis-
sion and distinguished British editor,
i'm talk yesterday before 200 editors
of seven OF the middle-western states
at luncheon given in his honor here.
Lord Ncrthcine gave especial stress
to the distance Of the United States
from the fighting front and the neces-
sity of a large cargo transport fleet. He
also declared that the United States
would of necessity be forced TO trans
port factories for the manufacture Of
all war supplies 10 French soil
Speaking of the ending Of the war,
Lord Northcliffe asserted that there was
a possibility that he and others Of his
own age might not live to witness II.
He said II was his belief that it was
only beginning.
while it is possibly true that one
third OF the German population has
become sickened OF war. the ruling two
birds are firm in their conviction that
the war is being prosecuted success
fully to victorious elimination for
their government" Lord Northoliffe con
tinued.
Lord Northcliffe asserted that some
American newspapers are presenting
the news Of the war in an erroneous
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1917-10-26

manner He said that the fact that
something is wrong with Germany is
being featured when as a matter of
fact the only thing wrong with the
nation is the kaiser He told of the
policy OF his publication (The London
Times i'm England. which gives the
same treatment to British losses as to
the British and allied gains.
The greatest need Of the war at the
present time, Lord Northclifte said. is
an increase in the tonnage OF cargo
transports. He PORTED out the diff
laboring with men on French soil and
the great distance between, over which
all supplies must be sent. Tie declared
that too little attention is being given
to this by the American public in their
enthusiasm over the possibilities of
aerial warfare and their support OF the
Liberty loan: both of which are admir-
able acd essential.
The world after the war. he said.
will be governed BY the men who are
now fighting for democracy. The elm
nation OF castles on the battle fields and
the democracy of the trenches will be
brought back as a moulding influence
bv officers ami soldiers alike.
He praised the United States for the
speedy adoption OF the draft. declarins
that II Is one of the most democratic
moves of the war.

OKLAHOMiN RUNNING
TRUE TO FORM

The oklahCman is running true 10
form these days. II has consistent
policy Of handling public events II
displays an utter lack of character in
its treatment of news events and the
presentation Of them in a truthful man
ncr.
Announcing the arrival Of Speaker
Clark, To appear In that city as the
main attraction of its Liberty Day ex-
ercises, IL said that he came from Law.
ton to Oklahoma City" Very clever
when it is considered that the speaker
came from Lawton to Oklahoma City
via Waurika, where he spoke to more
than 1000 people. and Ardmore. where
more than 1000 people greeted him at
Convention Hall despite the fact that
the tent of the Ringing show at the
same hour was crowded to capacity.
Considering the apathy shown in Ger.
tain sections regarding the purchase
of Liberty Bonds Mr.. Clark said in
Ardmore, and used identically the same
language in Waurika: III these bonds
are not sold tax will lie levied upon
surplus profits sufficient to carry on
the war
When he reached Oklahoma City he
is quoted as having said that the New
York money kings are l'etarding the
sale Of the bonds in the hope OF forcing
Il higher interest rate on subsequent
issues. and this statement was telc-
graphed over the country, bringing a
hot rcjoinder from the New York bank.
erS.
II may be that Speaker Clark coa-
veyed this impression on possibly saio
these words. substantially. but in view
of the policy OF the news gatherers of
Oklahoma City to hang II story on very
slight threads It Is open to doubt. To
say the least the spreading of such re.
ports ut this time can be of no avail as
they only tend to create sectionalism
and Ill feeling
IL there ever was a time when par.
tisanship should be dropped in this
country il is today. and the message
that Speaker Clark has been carrying
to the country, and every other speaker
of sanity and intelligence. has empha-
sized this fact. II is equally true that
partisanship between communities Of "A
state should be dropped at this time
and each and every one of them work
together for the honor of the state and
the strength of the nation.
