Miss Mary II. Smith. who was born
I'm the land of romance and Evange-
line, In that land where the murmur-
ling pines and the hemlocks stand Ike
Druids OF eld," In the province Of
Nova Scotia, is now making applica-
tion for naturalization papers in the
federal court at Muskogee, Okla,
T. S. a.
Miss Smith is the first woman ever
to have made such application in the
Muskogee court. Women coming To
America are not greatly troubled over
becoming naturallzed. With the suf-
frage laws discriminating against
them, they take the attitude OF
what's the use" and settle down to
the duties of citizenship without
bothcring about its forms. Then they
get married and automatically become
ctizenesses If their husbands are
Americans.
This Nova scotan, who has lived in
"The States for the last eighteen
years never gave much thot to her
status quo until she wanted to serve
the country of her adoption, where
upon she found that she must be
bona fide American in order to serve
in the war az a member of the Ameri-
can Red Cross Nurses society. She
has pledged herself to go with the unit
now being organized in Tulsa for naval
service. Like most other nurses, she
prefers army work, but says that a
patriots first duty IL to serve whore
needed and the country needs navy
nurses very badly.
Miss Smith received training at the
Boston city hospital. She has prac-
ticed her profession for seven years,
three OF which have been spent in
Tulsa.

Dear Editor wish to call your
attention to this, if you please. You
can put II in your paper for the sake
of humanity:
Certain place on West First street,
called the "Workingmen's home" 1t
is no more than a horses stable. not
fit for human to sleep in--such a
rooming house. l wish you would go
there and visit that place. 1t is a
shame TO have such place as that
to disgrace such nice little city as
Tulsa, and such a nice, clean, beauti-
full city.
For more testimoney go and see IL
yourself or send somebody. For the
sake OF human souls and for the
honor OF the American Flag, save
viva Tulsa. One Who Sees 1t All.

From u Soldier.


Editor World: sFrom the newspa-
per articles of late and the various
lectures that are being delivered at
army encampments, one would infer
that man cannot be good soldier
unless he is n Christian or a believer
in sacred CD myth, OF perhaps a
worshiper of some tribal god, Such as
the ones mentioned In the book called
the Bible. No word OF prlise seems
to come to such men who have out
grown these preconceivcd ideas.
which are only savage survivals OF
the dark and bloody past
A few weeks ago BILLY Sunday. the
white hope of Christianity, in
sermon said that the colleges of the
country were veritable hotbeds of
infidelit. Yet when the can cane
to arms the college men were among
the first TO enlist, while the ministr.
and students of divinity were exempt.
Every institution in the land is
being taxed to help carry on the war.
except the church. Yet in their
talk they appear TO be the most pa
triotic. "oh. Consistency, thou art
jewell"
IL prayers would save nation,
there would be no need OF an army.
" hat we need now Is more soldiers
and less prayers. Jack Hoan, Okla

ISADOPTEDBY
WOMAN'SBOARD

Mrs. A. c. Alexander, chairman Of
the woman's committee of the terri.
torial food commission, has called a
meeting of the committee at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon at the Y. w.
G. a. to take steps toward organizing
the women Of the territory in cam
paign to conserve the food supply OF
the territory. :
The registration" plan suggested
by Herbert Hoover, national food con-
troler, for enlisting the aid Of women
and to find out how many are willing
to help, Is to be followed out by the
committee, says Mrs. Alexander, and
plans for launching this new system
win be discussed this afternoon. Other
methods Of reaching the women also
will be discussed.
It has been suggested that commit.
tees OF women be appointed on the
other islands to cooperate with the
central committee In Honolulu. Mrs.
Alexander says that Il probably will
be suggested that these committees,
IL they are created, be appointed by
the food commission and not by the
central womanss committee. -

intendents and engineers. The WIZ
department sensing the irreparaole
injury to increased sugar and rice
crops with such o drain on the men
OF the territory has cut down the
militia TO 5000 men, made up of two
regiments Of infantry and q unit each
Of engineers, signalmen, artillerymen
and cavalrymen. These units are
ready and eager for national service.
There has been no official call for
Hawaii. The men are anxious to go
TO the front and it is CALLING to them
to see plans made for the entrance Of
the state militia organizations into
the federal service and no intimation
given US to when and where they can
serve. This patriotism Of the Ha-
waiians, paraIleled with the seeming
effort OF many on the mainland to
dodge or resist service, speaks well
for the territory. We want to get
into the fight right away and trust
that the war department will fmme-
diately order our men into federal
service.
Chairman Dole Of the territorial
food commission in q cable to the
delegate. said: In the present emer-
geney Hawaii desires to discharge it's
fun obligation to the nation from both
an economical and military stand
point" i
Territorial Adt,Gen. johnson IL. a
cable said: "The war department de-
cision not to mobilize. the national
guard greatly humiliates the Hawaii
an members who desire active ser
vice. As recognized the withdrawal
of the guardsmen would not affect
plantation or food conditions. The
war department decision, to ignore
Hawaii Is extremely unpopular
throughout the territory" -
There Is no valid reason why.
5000 men, anxious and willing to fight
should be kept out OF the fray,7 con-
|ciuded the delegate who expressed the
belief that the war department Will do
Justice to the territory and its fight

large view, the idealistic view, il you
please, of Americas mission. It is
the subconscious philosophy of all
our history-our wars. our public
school system, our conservation
schemes, our enterprise.
"This greater America Is not to be
the filmy product Of nations fancy,
the day dream Of a monumental ma
tional ego. Il is to be as substantial
as hard thought and hard work can
make it, a thing Of good roads, ships,
and railroads. well-fertilized farms
and well-organized industry. regul-
ated rivers put to use, and schools
and schools and schools, and labora-
tories and more laboratories! War
has taught England and France
much, one thing perhaps above all
others, how all important in this day
is the man who has the new kind of
SAVIOR faire. If we are to- meet the
full rivalry OF the world, we must
rest chance for success upon our
ability to produce men who, in
character, in trained capacities, and
in radioactive imagination will OUT
match those whom they are to meet.
'This new America, as the old,
will contribute to the world raw pro-
ducts with most generous hand. But
the ultimate resources OF the nation
is not that which lies within the
ground but that which vibrates in
mans brain. Therefore out of the
struggle and torture that we shall
pass though, and the reverses and
triumph that we shall meet. there
should evolve the conception of
America as the center Of the worlds
thought, an America that will give
that leadership and direction to the
scientific, literary, and social thought
Of the world that we pride ourselves
teal thought. Our status in this
war gives us q place OF moral as
cendancy from which II we are great
enough to be humble we can become
real masters Of men, conquerors of
the invisible kingdom of mans
mind"

Great Movement of Women and Girls in United
States to War Centers Creating NeuD Problems

|, and emergency bedroom in case =
woman Is taken Ill.
Sixth, work for Red Cross nurses.
There are several thousand Ameri-
can nurses already in France with
much the same need for recreation
and friendship and good cheer that
the men in the trenches have. To
provide these things and TO help
on the French front, the association
has built O number OF nurses huts
close to the hospitals inside the
French lines. IL has also opened a
little club house in Paris as head
quarters for nurses when they have
few days Off duty. To man these,
ten or twenty secretaries have al
Neady sailed for France. There Is
also need for a rest and convalescent
home in some country district in
France for nurses whose health
breaks, where they may recunerate,
but this has not yet been secured.
Seventh, work for French and Rus
sian girls. The association has re-
sponded TO appeals for help from the
women OF France and Russia. Sew
eral secretaries are in France help
ing to open boarding homes and
cafeterias for the French girls who
are still working eleven hours day
in munition factories. Eight gecre-
taries have gone to Russia where IL
is hoped IL will be possible even in
that distracted country to open
cafeterias for employed girls in
Petrograd and Moscow.
The challenge has come TO the
women OF America not only 70 meet
the needs Of their own girls, but 70
give of their wealth and their ex-
perience for the womanhood Of the
world.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-12-08

fof girls have come TO be mattresses,
stenographers, telephone girls and
salesWomen. The moral peril in life
so close to the camp with no re-
straining community standards can
easily be imagined. Into this strange
city the association has gone, putting
up a building with a dormitory,
gymnasium and club rooms and
workers in charge Of them. Within
the last few weeks the government
has decided to bring in several hun
dred Of women to do laundry work
Tor the camp. and have asked the as
one hundred and fifty of them.
There are about eight or ten places
in the country where the associa-
ton is planning to meet an emerg-
ency housing need like that in
Charleston and Army City.
Third, work for foreign speaking
girls. In some Of the national army
environments fifty per cent OF the
men do not speak English, and near
ly every camp has a good many who
do not. This has created a great
problem among foreign speaking
women, because they understand this
making Of an army so much less
than the rest Of us do. Through the
columns Of foreign language news
papers many absurd but alarming
misstatements about the war are
made, such as the government is US
ing it's alien sons first because it
wishes to save it's American boys.
Such things as this have caused
great excitement and worry, and
foreign speaking women are coming
in very large numbers to the canton
ment communities, hoping to find
work there and be near their boys.
To meet this need the association has
established foreign language service
