WILLIAMS STlRS HIS
".Y" FORUM AUDIENCE
Drummer Evangelist Speaks
Especially for the Boys
Who Need a Guide.

Rev. Billy Williams the drummer
evangelist" who prea ched at the Mems
forum held at the Y. M. c. a. on
Sunday afternoon, gave his sermon
lecture. The Young Man and His
Company"
The young man must have COM
pany." said the Reverend Williams.
God expects him TO have 1t. God
has created him a social being with
a social nature. That social nature
must be protected. Success abused
means disgrace and dishonor.
"A protected and cultivated social
nature helps in business, in politics
and religion. Smile and the world
smiles with you, shake and the world
shakes with you'-what this old
world needs most to bring 1t back to
God is the personal touch of the
church." the Reverend Williams said
"All that young man needs to do
to go to the devil' Is do nothing. The
sin OF the church today is tho sin
of not doing. The curse OF the Christ
rests on the church members, for
what they don't do. The sin of neg
lect is the great sin.
This sin Of the Ten Virgins was
the sin Of slumbering. The servant
was cast into hell because there was
no profit returned. Talents were
taken away because they were not
used. The rich man lost his purple
robe and put on one of fire, because
he let the poor man lay at his gate
unrelieved.
"All that the young man needs to
do then to get into bad company, is
to make no effort to get into good.
Why Is this so? Because wickedness
is aggressive. That smart aleck has
lots to say and pushes himself TO the
front. his pockets full OF cigarettes
and vile stories on his tongue, and
he crowds himself on you, for good

natural. His nervousness over his pre-
carious position was 80 real that one
felt sorry for him.
Under Cover" Is a play that would
please any audience. regardless OF the
company. but when presented by the
strong combination of talent at the
Grand Il can safely be placed on a
plane with the average 81 road at
traction. One cannot conceive or any
theatergoer being disappointed with
the performance.
Costly IncidcntaIs.
An incident OF the performance Is
the fact that all OF the scenery with
out exception. was painted especially
for the Grand by It's own scenic artist,
James Johnson, and the furnishings
and other property supplied by local
establishments, represents total
value OF $500. The burglar alarm
system used In the third act was pur-
chased in Now York and is com
pletely "hooked up" on the stage, so
that It works as realistically as If II
were installed in a private residence
in real life.
No detail has been overlooked to
give Tulsans "A bargain value in en-
tertainment. and anyone who misses
seeing Under Cover" will always re-
gret II.
Already there is clamor to keep
the attraction on all week instead OF
cutting II off Wednesday.

MEN NEEDING PRAYER
REV. MASSEY DECLARES
American People Have Neg
lected Instructions Given
by Bible Writers.

Government control OF foods and
drinks. Of dress and gasoline. and Of
accumulation of profits is our penalty
for having failed to pray the LORDS
PRAYER" declared the Rev Albert
Massey in his sermon on prayer last
night from his pulpit at the Lutheran
church.
I'VE have dulled our intellects,
deadened brotherly kindness and
cloggod spiritual energies by wanting
and reaching for more than daily
bread" he continued. Nations be-
fore us have tried this and brought
upon themselves just what has come
upon us; War. Let us hope that by
having to give up many things we
shall make the test OF ourselves, ma
out what we really need for our work.
A little more physical nourishment.
more mental food and much more
spiritual bread can yet make Ameri-
can bodies and brains and souls SER
viceable Instruments in the mighty
hand of God. For men doth not live
by material only; Gods every word
to him can be food.
Civilization was made possible" said
the Reverend Massey. by the spirit
of men who are content to do their
work from day TO day, mon who have
not waited for proof of the certainty
of harvest before planting the fields;
men who have kept their judgment
calm and vision clear, because they
have forbidden anxiety about possible
consequences; men who. In simple and
hearty reliance upon the power that
earth and clouds and sun obey, have
taken their meat from God one day at
a time.
Wars, expressions, misery and
crime" he said. come because men
have not prayed Give us this day our

money lust-its endless schemings. it's
continual ups and downs-will not at

Keep thou my feet,

Continuing, the Reverend Massey
said, est. Matthew records these words
OF Jesus as having been Give us this
day while Luke reports them as Give
us day by day our daily bread A
good guess has been made that the
early church used one form for a
morning prayer and the other for
evening. But the point Is Shat the
Savior's gospel teaches that we ought
to ask only for present needs, and
David's schedule of three trains daily
does not overdo the matter. Morning.
noon and evening will hardly take care
OF the freight business In prayer need

greed.
IF any of us is a Christian his pray
ers keep check on his ambitions. He
wants what bread is necessary for him
to make the best of his faculties. He
prays for all the nourishment that will
enrich and sweeten and free the soil
OF his human nature, but not for so
much that II will be over-fertilized." j"

Huge Task of the Govern ment in Classifying Man
 Power Has Begun.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The War department's huge task of classifying the nations man power for army serV- ice actually began today with the mailing of the first five per cent. of the questionnaires. At the same time recruiting facilities throughout the country, already overtaxed with re- cent enlistments, threatened to give way before the rush of draft regis trants eager to avail themselves of the last chance to volunteer. .e...
 The mailing of questionnaires will be completed speedily by the War de- partment, and within 60 days, more than 9,OOO,OO0 registrants will be di- vided into five classes as regards their liability for military service. In a statement issued today, Provost Mar shal General Crowder said:
 '"The plans have been made. the machine has been built, and, with the loyal cooperation of the local boards, SO amply demonstrated by their past accomplishments, the millions of reg istrants will, within the space of 60 days. stand marshalled for-their place in the worlds war, each in the class to which his economic worth entities him. '.i
 ."The completion of the classified ton will practically complete the great work of the local and district boards. Thereafter they will act each in their respective areas. as the governments agents for any new reg istration which may occur and will consider changes of status or trans fers of Jurisdiction when such may arise."

WAR BUREAU INVESTIGATES
Cannot Endorse Move to Collect ChiI drep's Relief Fund Money in This City Because of Vagueness.

Since the establishment of the War Bureau in this city that organization has been called upon to care for nu- merous individual cases of poverty, but in addition has investigated a number of appeals for financial help from societies and organizations both reputable and disreputable. Already, through the War Bureaus efforts, sev- eral such appeals have been found to be either irregular or fraudulent and permission to canvass in this city has been denied.
 One of the latest appeals received here was from the Children's Relief fund, Hotel Majestic, New York. By writing to the proper authorities in New York, the War Bureau has re- ceived information which entities it to refuse to endorse their work, it is claimed. Information received shows that this fund was organized by Mrs. Eva Mcdonald Valesh, editor of the American Club Woman Magazine, and about $2S,O0O in cash and $3O,0OO worth of clothes. toys and food has been collected for war orphans in Eu- rope. The official source of the War Bureaus information states that re- peated inquiries have been received
 relative to this fund and, in order to reply. statistics have been request cd which would show the actual amount of work done, together with an itemized financial statement. Upon all occasions our requests for such information have not been honored. In view of the failure of the organ ization to supply us with information to which, in our opinion, this bureau and the public is legitimately en- :. titled, we are unable to endorse their work" the statement sent the local organization concludes.
