PAPER MONEY
INVITATION IS
j WAR DANGER
VANDERBILT Sounds Warning In
St. Paul-current Savings
Must Be Used.

st. Paul. Mimi. Dec. 13.-Warning
against. the danger, OF paper money
imitation as a means Of financing the
war was given today by Chairman
Frank Vanderlip. of the war saving
committee in addressing a bankers
luncheon in behalf Of the var saving
stamps campaign.
men and material, not money, he de-
clared and therefore the printing
press could never satisfy the needs
arising from the war.
There are some impressive-reasons
why this campaign for economy
should a the strongest support of
me of large affairs. Of great corpora
tions of savings banks and Of all in
~.erests that are. concerned with the
sture security values" Mr.. Vanderlip
tatinUed. THE alternative of fl
.,ncins this war out of current saw
.ags will be the attempt to finance it
by imitation. Not by the imitation OF
bank credits alone. hat is almost in
evitable. The danger is thai We might
come to imitation BY, the issue OF paper
money. This old fallacy comes up in
a hundred different guises: it is in
mems minds. They. do not see that
there is no lack Of the mere facilities
for making payment They do not
clearly a%pprehend that the thing that
is limiting our efforts on, all sides Is
the scarcity of men and. materials;
not scarcity of money. The govern
ments wants can only be satisfied
through an augmented labor supply
together with efficient organization
and equipment.
The printing press will never salts
fy the sneed.
''The burden which always falls up
on persons with stationary incomes In
a period Of credit expansion Is we'll
is generally recognized that imitation
and the consequent rise in prices
would have a far nor serious effect
upon the financial condition Of many
corporations than was ever the case
in former tines"

BEING MADE
Athletic Council Of Army AT

Spectacle.

The people Of the Pacific northwest

cember is and 1S to learn in detSil
Just how the United States govern
ment is preparing Its young soldiers
for the hard life. which they will be
compelled to undergo once they leave
this side and go to France I o face the
Germans. The Athletic Council Of the
American Army now stationed at
Camp Lewis. which by the way is the
largest cantOnment in the United
States, under Instructions from the
head military authorities at Camp
Lewis, are making extensive plans for
a vast military Pageant. to be held in
a arena to be constructed
near the remount station at American
Lake.
The Pageant. Of course. will be held
outdoors, for the mild winter climate
to make this possible, without subject
ing those who attend. to any dtscom-
forts. A huge arena, capable Of seat
ing $4,000 people Is now under con-
strucdon. In several hours Of spec
tacular work with many features go
ing on at once the public will be
shown more military work than it
could gather from a weeks prolonged
stay at the encampment.
Expert horsemanship. under the
auspices of the remount depot. will
be a headliner Of the pageant, An
exhibition such. as Pendleton. Oregon,
Cheyenne. Wyoming and Miles City,
Montana, offer every summer will be
given by the remount depot, which.
promises a show that shall equal the
aggregate efforts of the cities that
have formerly SPECIALIZED in this line.

participate In the opening review and
in the formations to follow.
Actual demonstrations Of conditions
of war will be depicted. At, times the
fighting will be SO realistic that it will
be hard to realize the pageant is only
a sham. Great attention is being
given to details. The troops are al
ready practicing on theAmaneuvers to
be presented. 1t is planned to take
the most interesting parts or each

the public. so far as is possible with

Fate Of 100000 Appropriation for 0.
c. W.DOrmiiOry Up to Supreme Court;
Statement Of Facts Submitted
AUSTIN BELIEVES FUND
WILL Be AVAILABLE
Upon Decision Of Court Depends Erection
of Many Buildings; More Than $780,
900 Appropriations TO Be Elected

In the opinion of G. W Austin,
president of the Oklahoma College
for Women here, the 100000 appro-
priation for the dormitory will be
available within 60 days. This opin-
ion is doubly important following the
announcement that Governor VIII
llams and Z. B. Howard, state audi
tor have reached an agreement to
submit statement Of facts to the
supreme court to determine the sa-
tus Of the public building fund
Upon the decision of the court
will depend the erection Of buildings
for which more than 100000 was
appropriated by the last legislature.
Among these are a dormitory for the
Oklahoma College for Women at
Chickasha, S1O0,OOO State Tubercu-
lar hospital at Fort Supply, $4,000;
science hall at A. & NJ college, Still
water, 100000; armory and gymna-
siuh, A. &. M. college, 100000; Ii
brary at state university, Norman,
$4,000; hospital for criminal insane,
Norman, $S5,0oO.
The supreme court will be asked to
determine two questions about which
there is doubt. One is as to whether
the surplus returning to the public
building fund each year after bonds
due that year are retired may be
used upon current appropriation of
the legislature. This surplus next
year will be $12S,OOO, and in 1919 it
will be $122OO0. There now is in
the fund s34S,965.75 which represents
the surplus from this year and pre-
vious years
The other point which the court
will be asked to make clear is
whether bonds in the sum Of $548,-
500 may be issued against the public
building fund to bring the total
amount of bonds issued to $4,000, 600
as was authorized by the legislature
a number Of years ago

GLASS OF
SELECT MEN
Classification Revised; All Married Men
in NOn-Belligerent Class; Single
Men for Fighters

BY United Press.
Washington, Nov 9-A draft ques-
tionaire to determine the class and
order of service OF Americas nine
million registered men, will be mail
ed before Christmas,
The classification has been revised
since the tentative draft was made
public, including radical change
that places all married men in the
non belligerent class. The plan is to
put only those whose dependents are
fully provided for, even if the man is
killed, in the fighting class.
A plan is on foot to ask congress to
draft all men who have reached the
age of 81 years since the couscrip-
ton law became effective. 1t is ex-
pected that this will produce half a
million men.
General Crowder does not know
himself when the second draft will
come. It will probably be in the
spring

LUTHERAN COLONY FOR
LIBERTY ADDITION is
PLAN or CAMPBELL

Liberty Addition and Subdivision,
adjoining this city on the south, is
to be colonized by Evangelical Luth-
Grams from the north during the com
| ing spring and summer, according
to announcement made today by L. Il.
Campbell, Of the Campbell Sales
company, who estimates that he will
bring about $500 people to Chiekasha.
The Campbell Sales company will
donate $4,000 for the erection Of a
Lutheran church which will be built
on a site to be selected in Liberty
Addition This donation and the en-
tire enterprising mQxement, Mr.
Campbell states, has been fully en-
dorsed, not only by the local pastor,
Rev G. II. Hentschel and associates,
but also has received the hearty APP
pioval Of practically every Lutheran
minister in the state and assurance
has also been given that it will re-
ceive the undivided support Of the
leading business men Of Chickasha
and vicinity
Mr.. Campbell considers this one Of
the strongest plans for community
development that he has ever origi-
mated and those who are familiar
with his plans believe the enterprise
which he is carrying out will not on
lily be of the greatest benefit to the
new comers but will also be of vast
Importance to Chicasha since it will
mean a very substantial increase in
the citys population, with cores
ponding advantage to all business in
terests.
It is pointed out that Liberty Ad-
dition is admirably located and the
character Of the men composing the
Campbell Sales company gives
guarantee that all agreements entered
into with the colonists will be faith
fully executed "To people in the
north. those whom we are inviting to
come mere, the fine climate of this
section, with its open winters and an
average of $50 days of sunshine ev-
cry year, presents special attrac-
tons. said Mr.. Campbell. ut is
generally recognized that Oklahoma
offers many advantages to home
seekers and there is no section Of the
state where there is finer field Of
opportunity for men Of energy. We
are endeavoring to bring here a class
of people who will form an important
addition to our population both from
the commercial and social view
point and we believe that when they
come they will be SO well pleased
that they will be permanent residents.
Mr.. Campbell has no doubt that be-
fore another year has passed Liberty
Addition will be the scene of busy
building operations and that numer'
Gus cottages and substantial, hand
some residences will be erected on
the beautiful sites which his com
pany has to offer to the newcomers.
