Keyed to the highest pitch by the
shrill cries of the newsboys selling ex-
ira editions on the sin king of a Unit
ed States troop transport, two hun
dred members of the Tulsa Army of
Liberty crowded into the Chamber OF
Commerce last night and mobilzed
their resources to "go over the top
In the final days of the campaign for
ten thousand Liberty bend buyers in
this city.
During the day they were active.
They turned in total OF 81 sub
Scriptions, amounting to S36,950, or
an average of 500 per man Most of
these workers were volunteers who
had never before sold a Liberty bond.
We're not worrying about the big
buyers of bonds" said Director of
Publicity N. r. Graham, but the gov
ernment as well as us, desires most OF
all to get the small subscriptions They
need the money and the moral sup
port that large number of subscrip-
tons will give them.'

Tuesday each soldier in the Army of
Liberty is to solicit his friends and as
sociates and the people in the block
where he lives.
On Tuesday night, October 23, a
great Liberty rally will be held at
Convention hall. Carl c. Magee jr., a
Tulsa high <;hool boy. who has served
on the French front for two years and
has been under fire time and time

ing.
Wednesday, October "a has been
declared q legal holiday by President
Wilson and Governor Williams. on

Empress theater turned in subscrip-
tions from his twenty regular en-
ployes for a $50 bond each. He made
them present of the first $5 pay
ment on each bond.
Every member Of the Adams Auto
Sales company bought bond.
The girls of the Vandever Dry Goods
company, who did nobly in the first
Liberty bond campaign. subscribed
for total of $40 OF the second
issue. The store enables them to make
easy payments.
World NcwsbOys Buy.
Bennie Goldberg, street circulator
of The World. in conjunction with
The World Publishing company. is ar
ranging for every World newsboy to
buy bond. Goldberg and The World
are making the first payment of 81

ployes of The World have availed
themselves of Eugene Lorton's offer
to sell them bonds on small weekly
payments without interest
j. =. Foty, 109 East Second offers
to pay 81 down on a $50 bond for
each of the first one hundred working
girls who apply to him today.
One Army of Liberty worker was
told by a girl in a local garage that

BROTHERS SPLIT
OVER PATRIOTISM
Fred Shaw of Tulsa Pleads
for Limit of Law Against
M. j. Shaw.

Fred Shaw of Tulsa, prominent citi-
zen and Liberty bond worker. believes
that NJ. ]. Shaw of Oklahoma City,
who insulted citizens there because
they asked him to buy bond, should
be dealt with as q traitor.
Fred Shaw and M. j. Shaw are
brothers.
One is feather renovator, the
other a big automobile dealer and
property owner.
One is against the government. and
the other is heart and soul for It
Warned Brother.
81 warned my brother he would get
into trouble If he did not change his
views" said Fred Shaw yesterday.
1.-TWO weeks ago I told my mother
up in Iowa that NJ. ]. was headed
straight for the penitentiary. or worse.
Now that he has done the thing |
feared he would do, no penalty is too
severe to suit me. / have telephoned
the governor and friends in Okla ahoma
City to see that he is dealt with ac-
cording to the letter of the law. IN
his offense is treason. and the penalty
for treason in time of war rs death,
then let him be shot at sunrise!"
NJ. ]. Shaw is the only blot upon
an otherwise perfect family name, ac-
cording to the Tulsan.
Family of Patriots.
"Our father fought for three years
and eight months in the Civil war"
he said "A few days ago I visited
my old mother in Newton. Iowa. She
had saved $3.50 out of her pension
money and pat it in the bank. ! told
her to buy Liberty bonds with every
cent of it, and she did SO. Then I
visited my wifes mother, before COM
ing home. and saw that she invested in
bonds, too. told my mother of my
brothers attitude toward the war and
the government and warned her to be
prepared for the worst, as he might
be in Jail or dead before I could get
home. | knew that when the Liberty
loan workers called on him something
serious would happen"
Fred Shaw Heavy Bond Buyer.
Fred Shaw was the first subscriber
in Tulsa to the first Liberty loan. He
bought $4,000 worth of bonds. He
has subscribed heavily to the second
issue and has given practically all OF
his time to the local committee since
the campaign started. On the day of
the Oklahoma City incident he turned
IN more tndH to'OUV WI VI Sup-
scriptions. That same day he donned
overalls and ewith other Rotarians
spent the afternoon liz putting out
Liberty loan advertisements and lit
erature.
The Shaw family has an unbrokeE
lineage from the Mayflower down TO
the present time. No foreign blood
Is in their veins. Mr.. Shaw explains
the neculiar conduct of his brother by
the fact that. the latter was affiliated
with a German club in Oklahoma City
that had to close up soon after the
United States entered the war. II
make no apologies for him, tho" said
Fred shaw. II am ashamed to think
that he is my brother. I will do any
thing in my power to assist the Off
cials in giving him his just deserts.
II he Is to be shot am willing to join
the firing squad. A man who Is not
for the government in this perllous
hour deserves harsh treatment, be he
brother. father or friend"

Secretary Daniels announced the
disaster tonight In u statement based
upon brief dispatch from Vice-Ad-
and did not say whether 1t was a day
or night attack. Ar accurate list of
the missing can not be issued until
General Pershing reports the names
the list of the merchant crew.
News Quickly Released.
Upon receipt of the cablegram from
Admiral Sims, the government kept
its promise not TO withhold bad news
from the people. The issuance OF the
statement was delayed only until the
navy could telegraph to the families
# the men known to have been lost.
Secretary Daniels carried word OF
the loss of the Antilles TO the White
House when he went there late In the
day with Admiral Mayo. who made
his report to President Wilson on his
visit to England at the direction of
the president. The news added to the
gravity or the hour that the secretary
and Admiral Mayo spent in confer

Few Soldiers Aboard.
Quick upon the wave of sorrow at
the news of the loss of the transport
came a feeling OF distinct relief be-
cause she had met her fate homeward
bound and not on the way over with
troops. The only soldiers on board
were returning to the hospital or on
special assignment. Had the foil
complement of the transport been
aboard, the loss undoubtedly would
have been written In hundreds. as she
was struck in the most vulnerable
spot and went under SO swiftly that
few could have escaped.
Officials are confident that those

Hostile airships attacked the east

evening. The eneiNy aircraft pro-

After the warning wst sounded
