raw winter, shot at and stormed at and shelled, waiting for a chance to murder some other inoffenSiye fellow creature? Why must the people in old Poland die of hunger, not finding dogs enough to eat in the streets of Lem
 berg? The long lines of broken peas ants in Serbia and in Rumania; the
 population of Belgium and northern
 France torn from their homes to work
 as slaves for the Germans; the poor
 prisoners of war starving in their huts
 or working in factories and mines; the
 cries of the old and the children,
 wounded by bombs from Zeppelins; the
 walls of the mothers for their sons
 the very rustling of the air as the souls
 of the ten million dead sweep to an
 other World-why must all these hor-
 TOTS come upon a fair green earth
 where we believed that love and help
 and friendship, genius and science and commerce and religion and civilization once ruled?
 The very bodies of those ten million killed, if placed end to end in two lines would reach from New York to San Francisco. Think of travelling this dis tance between a double line of staring corpSeS.
 It is because in the dark, cold north
 
 autocracy, deceiving a great people, poisoning their minds from one gener- ation to another and preaching the vir- l tue and necessity of war And until l that autocracy is either wiped out or made powerless there can be no peace on earth.
 The golden dream of conquest was l almost accomplished. A little more advance a few more wagonloads of ammunition and there would have been no battle of the Marne, no Joffre, a modern Martel to hammer back the l invading hordes of barbarism. I have always stated that Germany ! is possessed yet of immense military ] power and in order to win, the na = l tions opposed to Germany must learn 1 to think in military way. The mere 1 entrance even of great nation like 1 our own into the war means nothing | in a military way unless backed by i military power
 And there must be no German peace. l The old regime left in control of Ger many, of Bulgaria, of Turkey, would l only seek favorable moment to re- l new the war, to strive again for the 1 mastery of the world.
 | Fortunately America bars the way 1 America led by a fighting president who will allow no compromise with 1 brutal autOcracy.

Who Pays ?

the ''Vigiantes' makes this hit at the editor of the American Weekly:
 When the historian comes to treat of the activities of the pro Germans, he will have to note that the kaiser's cousin audacious than all the rest Most of the editors of the German language news papers, he will discover saw the writing on the wall in time to save their precious heads but the great Viereck like valiant relative of the kaiser King Constantine, plunged boldly Instead of re- tiring exposure he turned upon his assallans dipping his pen deep in his pot of vitriol
 Who" he demands in his latest issue of The American Weekly" contributes the money for The Vigiantes? Nobody knows"
 Let us return the question. Who contributes the money which keeps Vereck's Weekly alive? No answer is necessary Everybody knows.

MORE
 THAN LOCAL|SM IS
 THEME FQR SERMON

Elder J. E, Yates, or tine ReorganiZed L. D. S church, who has returned from two months in Bisbee, preached yes- terday on the subject Christianity More Than Localism" Extracts from hlS sermon are:
 Text: St. John, 1922. And I, if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me"
 Some of us seem to get the thought that heaven is a place where a few reserved seats are roped off from the multitude and held for ourselves and a few of those of our friends who look through the same narrow focused lenses with which we squint at the world.
 Such a view is poison to the thor ough- going, heartfelt charity and love which Christianity enjoins toward all mankind as one of the vital prln- ciples of it's very self. There is no power in this world outside of love, to reclaim the wayward to the path of rectitude; and if we give the consent of our minds to the pernieious thought that God has prepared comfortable heaven for us and a few others, and very hot hell for the accommodation of the multitude, we are getting dan
  charity which in itself is spiritual vitalizer; and we will soon find our selves destitute of the very graces, which in our SelfiShness we incline to claim in monopoly.
 "The religionist who believes in an internal unlimited hell for the masses in the future state, will be very easily reconciled to the idea that it is per fectly in order and permissible to see to it that those who are supposed to be wicked get some of what is coming to them even in this present time. All Christian people will agree that Christianity is more than localism, and yet by our superficial views we would practically make it so.
 For instance it is sometimes assert | ed that the Gospel of Christ which IS the power of God unto salvation, was not proclaimed unto men prior to the days of Christ upon the earth, or prior to the day of Pentecost.
 Are we to believe tbat four thousand years of the worlds history had passed, and millions of humanity gone | to the tomb before the means Of sal vation was given to the world? Il so. then Christianity has serious linn | itations and lacks much of the com pleteness attributed to it.
 If the exalted spiritual development which was achieved by the ancient saints and prophets, was attained bA some other means than the gospel o our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, ther evidently Christianity would be reduced to a localism, and would lose much O that which by right and in truth be- longs to it as being the one grea

himself admits can point to nothing else than guilt.
 If convicted, and cannot see how he escape conviction, punishment within the law be too severe. It will appear that he attempted to send man whom he did not know, to a disgraceful death. At the same time if that is guilty, Oxmans crm inal laundering will in all probability free him from the consequences of awful crime

Faa A Failure to Arrive

few days ago we referred to the announcement that Sir Conan Doyle was going to bring Sherlock Holmes back and at the same time, expressed a doubt whether he could 'eome-back." We have since read the new Sherlock Holmes story in the current Golfers and we rather confirmed our fear that the return journey of the famous detective was long and story at least the Holmes flavor does not manifest itself.
 The plot is a rather tame and transparent one concerning the crcumventng of a German spy in England. It is of a plots to which the has given birth
 The Holmes stories which made Sir Conan famous which raised the doctor baronetcy were attract i've, not because of their plots, but because of detailed description of the deductive processes by which Holmes reached his ends. Watson had a place in all of them as the narrator of events.

Rising Of Oklahoma Malconten4s 4
4f Classified q Treason BY the
Federal Prosecutor. :s

Oklahoma City, Ok, Aug. 6.-The
death penalty has been demanded by
Federal officials against the leaders
Of the anti-draft risings which, led BY
leaders of the so-called Working
Class Union, have thrown the coun-
ties of Central Oklahoma into tur-
moil for the last four days
Their action has been declared BY
United States District Attorney W.
P. McGinnis to constitute treason.
Hearings will be started tomorrow
at McAlester before Federal Com
missioner R. w. McMillen.
With the entrance of the Govern
ment agents into the case with war
rants against the arrested terrorists
the last stroke was believed to have
been made which broke the back Of
the protest against service in, the new
national forces.
According to the Government Off
cials a state of unrest has prevailed
throughout the affected districts for
more than two years. This was re-
allied by leaders of the agitating fac
t;ons, the Working Class Union, the
Jones Family and allied organiza-
tionS.
The disgruntled inhabitants, virtu-
ally all of the poor tenant-farmer
class, readily became the tools OF
unprincipled, leaders. A dream OF
power was declared to have been
presented before them which, colored
with promises of riches and ease,
turned their heads against law and
order.
Posses still are in the field in
Seminole County, in Hughes County
and south of Shawnee, in Pottawat-

further clashes had been averted.
A car half full of dynamite was
confiscated by Deputy Sheriffs
northeast of Sasakwa in Seminole
County. Clashes between the bands
of resisters and posses have cost
