CHURCHILL WARNS
AGAINST PAC|F|STS
Allied Course Is Seriously
Threatened by Those Desir
ing Premature Peace.
AS0UITH HAS NO REGRETS
President Wilson's Message Is
Warmly Endorsed by the
Former Premier.

LONDON. Dec. 11.-Speaking today
at Bedford on the subject OF the allies
war aims. Winston Spencer Churchill,
minister of munitions. said that tho
situation was more serious than 1t had
been rcason .ble, ~ sinonths ago to
expect. The cour.vy and the allied
cause. Colonel Churchill added, were
endangered. The culture of the Brit
ish empire and of democratic civil
ization was hanging I'm the balance
and would continue to hang there for
a considerable period
When | say the country is passing
thru n time of danger" Colonel
Churchill continued. mean there
are people who wish to bring about a
premature peace. They are listening
to the sophistries and dangerous coun-
sci OF certain politicians. People who
say 're-state your war aims really
mean TO make peace with the vic
torious Huns.
"The British do not mean to put
up anything but the legitimate and
righteous aims with which we en-
tered the war. and If such an issue
as this were seriously raised il could
be decided only by the whole nation.
| cannot see that there Is the slightest
danger in submitting that question
to the free discussion of the whole
nation"
Asquith Has No Regrets.
Former Premier Asquith, speaking
at Birmingham today, declared that II
he had to live over the time again
he still would take the same position
he had arrived at with regard to
Great Britains entering the war. He
added that he unhesitotingiy believed
1t had been worth while, provided the
war ended In a peace which secured
the original purposes for entering
upon 1t and contained the elements OF
permanency.
Mr.. Asquith said he thot little more
would be heard from the enemy on
the question of freedom OF the seas.
He strongly endorsed President VIII
sons message as clearly expressing the
intentions and desires of the allies.
Lansdownc Misunderstood.
The former premier, continuing.
said he considered the adverse criti-
cism of the marquis of Lansdowne,
growing out of the recent letter of the
marquis regarding the allies war
aims. as due to reading into the letter
unintended meanings. Lansdowne's
main argument. he said, was that
while vigorously pursuing the war the
allies should satisfy the world that
their aims were unselfish and were
devoted to secure peace guaranteed
by league of nations.

GOVERNMENT MAY OPEN UP
NEW COAL FIELD IN STATE
Carter Bill Provides Opening Up OF
Segregated Indian Lands which
Are Rich In Fuel.
World Washington Bureau.
7OA Matropolitan Bank Building.

7O4 Metropolitan Bank Building.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. The
house will likely soon have chance
to put itself on record on govern
ment operation of coal properties.
With the country suffering for lack
of fuel, there Is pending in the
house a bin by Representative Car
ter of Oklahoma for the sale of the
coal and asphalt deposits in the
segregated mineral land in the Ohoc-
taw and Chickasaw nations of OK
lahoma. The coal deposits com
prise millions of tons and are OF
great value.
The coal Is said to be of fine
quality and is semi-anthracite, un-
derlying nearly a half million acres.
If the bill which is now pending
goes thru the government will sell
these valuable coal deposits for the
Indians and they will be taken over
and exploited by private concerns.
However. I'm view of the fuel sit
uation an effort will be made by a
number of house members to have
the government take the coal, pay
the Indians fair price and then
operate the mines. The coal, ac-
cording to a report of the geological
survey some time ago. can be mined
at extremely low cost. Representa-
tive Lenoot Of Wisconsin is one of
those who will urge that the bill be
modified so that the Garfield fuel
administration will be required to
operate the coal fields. The bill is
on the calendar and may come up
this week. An animated debate will
ensue IL the author of the measure
tries to force 1t to passage In Its

Empty Stocking Fund

Along the outer boundaries OF
Tulsa are strewn a multitude of
huts erected from dry goods
! boxes. scraps of tin and bits OF
canvas; these structures inter-
mingle with tents, frayed and
worn by the whining winds OF
several winters. Within these
pitiful huts and tents people re-
side and to these people these
huts and tents are known as
home.
Little children are born in
these surroundings and spend
their days therein. The bowling
winds of winter have been un-
loosened by Boreas, the god of
the cold; snow has fallen and ice
has formed. These little children
are suffering today from the cold
as they plod about their daily
chores with feet barred, unpro-
tected from the blasts of winter
The Worlds Empty Stocking
Fund Is being raised to alleviate
such conditions; to bring cheer
and happiness to these little
hearts and to- cover little feet
that have known ne shoes since
last winter, when liberal Tulsa
supplied funds for candy, toys,
food and clothing. Greater dona-
tions must be made this year. The
time is growing short.
All checks 10 this fund should
be made payable to the Empty
Stocking Fund" care The World.

their train was derailed about one
mile from this place and all equip

Engineer Injured.
Engineer Anderson and Fireman
Enid, both of Parsons. Kan, were
hurled from the cab as their engine

ravine. but both were thrown In such
IA manner that they were pinned be-
meath portion of the engine and

ing been pinned In a hole In the bed
Of the ravine In such n manner that
his whole body was scaided and he
was badly burned internally thru In
haling the steam. He Is not expected
to live thru the night.
As soon ms the accident was re-
ported relief parties were sent out,

The train at the time of the acct
dent was travelling about 25 miles an
hour and was running approximately
four hours behind time. 1t IL declared
by those who have investigated the
scene of the accident that the wreck
was caused by spreading rails. While
there has been no little trouble In this
section OF the state thru the members
of the I. w. w. there Is no desire here

work of these persons who have
threatened destruction to railway
property.
Relatives OF both Engineer Ander-
son and Fireman Enid have been ad-
vised of the accident and have been
called to Yale as IL is believed that
neither will survive.
