First Oklahoma Infantry Name Gone
For Good; Swallowed Up by Texas

President Wilson said In refusing
to commission Theodore Roosevelt for
service in France. "This is not time
for compliment" the secretary of war
and the general staff have by ,neir
action decreed that this is not time
for sentiment.
The First Oklahoma infantry Is IS
years old, and did valiant service on
the Mexican border. and the boys
should be held together. History time
and time again, in all wars OF all ma
tions, has demonstrated that men fight
better and are more contented when
they are modified from neignDor-
hoods communities and states in
which they have been brought up and
In which they reside. There Is q
community OF interest among them
they realize they are among good
friends and not strangers, and It
seems too bad that the cruel process
of army reorganization should disturb
this cementing wedge OF friendship
and love for neighbors and state pride.
But this Is war, and we all know
what Sherman said OF 1t.
The First Oklahoma infantry in
Eame II gone.

(World's Washington Correspondento
WASHINGTON Oct 2.-That the
identity Of the First Oklahoma In
fantry regiment is lost Is conceded by
members Of the Oklahoma delegation
in congress.
In all our previous wars the states
have maintained territorial recruit
ment and for scores OF years states
have pointed with pride to the glory
OF specific regiments won on the iieid
Of conflict
This was true in the revolutionary
war, in the war of 1912, in the Mexi-
can campaign, in the Civil war, and
lastly, by the Rough Riders in San
tiago, and the Twentieth Kansas in
the Philippines.
The passing out Of existence OF the
historical names of many state ,e,s-
ments, including the First Oklahoma
infantry. only more forcibly reminds
us that this Is not sentimental age,
but a, business age. The principal
business Of the United States at this
time Is It's war with Germany-every-
thing else ~ secondary.

President Discharges Tulsa Oil
Man Who Was to Leave
Tomorrow.
ON INDUSTRIAL GROUNDS
Can Better Serve Nation at

ON INDUSTRIAL GROUNDS

Word was received yesterday by A.
f. Aaronson. wealthy young Tulsa oil
man. that President Wilson had
granted him n discharge on industrial
grounds from the national army
Aaronson was scheduled to leave
here tomorrow for Camp Travis with
the next quota OF Tulsa drafted
troops. The ruling OF the president
means that he will be exempt from all
future draft calls.
Turned Down Twice.
Aaronson was drawn in the first
draft, The local board accepted him,
following physical examination. lie
filed claim for exemption but was
turned down. He appealed to the
district board. whore IL was held that
he could not be exempted on indus
trial grounds. The fact that he was
reputed to We extremely wealthy
probably worked against him. ON ac-
count of the Whitesides case at Mus
kogee local and district boards thru
out the state felt hesitancy about
granting exemptions to young men OF
means Another fact taken into CON
sideration was that Aaronson's father
is actively connected with the bust
ness
The presidents ruling was to the
effect that Aaronson Is much more
valuable 20 his country here at home
producing oil. than he would be as u
soldier in France.
He is The head of five departments
in the Mid-Co Petroleum company. u
practical oil man and tho business
would suffer greatly thru losing his
services.
Effect on Whitcsidcs.
Whether or not the decision in his
case is harbtnger of what will be
done with the Whitesides appeal Is
. matter OF conjecture. The facts III
tho .wo cases, with reference to the
mems connection with the oil busi
ness. are substantially the same
Aaronson is married and has 8
baby daughter. but this was not con,
sldered by the president In reaching
his decision.
At any rate Aaronson will not &c

friends and associates feel that tn,

fairly and with justice toward all.
