WORLD PEACE MEETING

Hon, William Madison Hicks, state
president Of the World Peace associ-
alton, Is IN the city and will speak at
the court house next Sunday on
american Neutrality, Or the Public
Opposition to d Declaration OF War"
Mr. Hicks said n do not believe
that the munitions yenders are fair to
the public in their efforts to miscon-
strue every incident as hostile act
toward one Of the European belliger-
ents. do not believe that the charge
Of cnwardice toward Mr.. Bryan and
other advocates OF peace as made by
men who profit by war express the
feelings Of the public on that issue.
Any true American is ready to honor
ably defend this nation IN case of an
open declaration OF war but the men
who are clamoring for war at any price
will not be the ones who will go to the
trenches if war comes. Our peace
movement is an educational move
ment, and the object OF It's promoters
is to create a peace sentiment in al
countries at the same time 1t is non.
partisan and non.sectarian and em-
braces men Of every political and rc-
ligious belief.

W.. in an interview this morning,
said:
a have just been advised that the
governor A4 gneA ts&rhlM aSpropri-
ating 100000 for building dormito-
ry and other Improvements for the
Oklahoma College for Women. There
has doubtless never been an appropri-
alton made by an Oklahoma legisla
ture in which more people took a per-
sonal interest and its almost unani-
mouse passage shows how the institu-
tion is appreciated. This appropria-
tion marks a great epoch in O. G. w
'Plans are being drawn for an addi-
ton to Nellie Sparks hall which will
furnish hooms for 100 girls. This will
give Nellie Sparks hall a capacity OF
212 girls. Besides the living rooms in
the addition, there will be eight bath
rooms, two well equipped hospital
wards and trunk rooms. One of the
new features OF the annex will be a
recreation room thirty-two feet square.
There have been 357 young women
who applied for rooms in Nellie
Sparks hall during the last two years
who failed to get accommodations.
More than 200 of these young women
went elsewhere to college while the
others secured boarding places outside
the dormitory. Many more will be
turned away next year. The building
cf state dormitories at O. G. w. need
not deter those who may want to build
boarding houses near the college.
Those who are interested in this
should secure property near the col
lege and erect comfortable buildings.
While many young women have board
ed in the city and made good records,
there have been some who should
have been at home. do not look with
much favor upon girls boarding from
one to two miles away from the col
lege and hope to see the time when
this will not be necessary.
In addition to the increase of the
dormitory capacity, plans are being
drawn for Fine Arts building. This
structure is to contain rooms for all
work in piano, voice, art and express
sion. The building is to contain ID
studios, 40 piano practic rooms and a
lecture hall This building will relieve
the congestion of the Administration
building and will dispense with the
noise incident to those departments.
Il have carefully studied the devel-
opment OF the women's colleges of the
south and am thoroughly convinved
that these institutions stand first in
the hearts of the people. Confidence
in this college and its management is
shown by the increase of the mainte
nance appropriation. The year before
| was asked to take the presidency Of
the institution the average annual APP
preparation was sS1.SO0. This amount
has been increased to an average an
nual appropriation Of s5OoOo by the
