WOMANH00D' BRINGS
HOME LESSONS OF WAR

When the twenty million" so glow
ingly described by the peace-a&- any
price advocates, leapt to arms at their
country's call, they didn't find much
to leap to arms with but pitchforks
and brick bats.
This is the situation so to speak set
forth by the tremendous preparedness
picture, "Womanhood-the Glory of
the Nation" exhibited privately at the
Majestic Friday morning.
America, rich and unprotected of,
fers a tempting morsel to Ruritania-
a nation with the strongest fighting
machine in the world and a depleted
treasury. Then America, during long
months of frightful prosecution (par-
ellel in many instances to the persecu-
ton now taking place in Belgium and
northern Franco, pays with the blood
of her unframed soldiers, with ruined
cities and broken-h hearted women the
price of unpreparedness.
Every device of modern warfare is
seen upon the screen. In addition it
protrays the three great loves of a
woman's life, the love of a woman for
a man, of a mother for her child and
the love of a woman for her country.
Finally, the concentration of the
American resourcefulness, the Ameri-
can patriotism which is about to be-
come atrophied from lack of use,
makes good in the final test, and Old
Glory straightens her Stars and Stripes
once more over a nation that is strong
and triumphant.
1t is a masterpiece of camera craft
written by j. Stuart Blackton and
Cyrus Townsend Brady Alice Joyce
and Harry Morey are featured.
1t will be shown to the Tulsa public
in the near future.

WITNESSES UNWILLING
IN "R0ADH0USE CASE"
But Little Definite Testimony
Brought Out at Inquest
in Bowers Affray.

Little information as to how VIII
Bowers was fatally wounded in Cow
boy Longs roadhouse near Taneha
last week was brought out at the
inquest held in Justice Sack's court
yesterday. After examining three
witnesses Assistant County Attorney
Smith ordered the investigation con-
tinued until Monday.
Mrs. Vann Yargee, wife of one OF
the men held for the roadhouse rob-
berry. was the principal witness yes
terday. Mrs. Yargee said she had
gone to the roadhouse. They live
near Longs place and Mrs. Yargee
said yesterday that she had gone to
the roadhouse last Friday night to
look for her husband. She arrived
just as the fight, in which her hus-
band was badly cut, started.
Clarence Wade and "Billie" May
field, arrested shortly after the road
house fight, were ordered discharged
by the assistant county attorney.
Yargee and Todd Rose are suspected
of staging the robbery at the road
house. When questioned yesterday
they said they remembered none of
the events that took place that night.
All of the witnesses displayed a de-
cided unwillingness to give definite
testimony about the miXup at the
roadhouse. 1t is doubtful if the
slayer Of Bower will ever be publicly
known.

Last night Lincoln Mcconnell got
after the people who object to the
idea of the mourner's bench, to the
simplicity, the absence of ceremony
and what they designate as lack of
dignity" of that method of seeking
SALVATION.
He preached from the fifth chap
ter of Kings-the story of Naman,
the great man who was a leper. He
spoke of how after an outburst of
pride at the lack of ceremony with
which Elisha received him, Naman
took himself in hand and washed
seven times in the river Jordan, thus
cleansing himself from leprosy-his-
toric synonym for sin.
81 canont understand" said the re-
vivalist, "how it is that a man of
courage, honor, pride and moral in
tegrity can afford to go about with
the leprosy of sin in his soul; how
he can get so near to the dignity
which God ordained for the human
soul and still refuse to attain it; how
he can tolerate the condition in which
he lives that keeps him from saying
to his own cJld. My boy l want you
to come and go with me -
Pride, he said, was the great sin
that kept people out of heaven.
Pride of place, pride of intellect,
pride of clothes-'why," he stormed,
"Tvo known thousands of fools too
proud to kneel down for fear they
will bag at the knees"
1t takes a man who is truly great,
Doctor Mcconnell thinks, to see his
own littleness A little man never can
estimate his own littleness. 1t takes II
man of kingly character, like Naman,
to draw his own soul under the
searchlisht and wear it.
'The only fellow that I've ever been
afraid of in all my life," said Doctor
Mac" "is old Line Mcconnell. He's
the guy I'm always scrappn' with,
he's the guy that gets my goat I'm
not afraid Of any living thing except
myself. I've never been afraid in all
my life-I'm not braggin, it's not my
fault, | was built that way, I've never
been afraid of any earthly thing but
myself and the most courage I've ever
been called upon to display has been
In the fight / have mado for my own
soul"
Tomorrow night there will be a spe-
oial devotion for the enlisted men who
are about to leave for the various
camps. There will be special music
and Doctor Mcconnell will talk on
Heroes and Cowards." To this serv-
ice the boys who are about to put on
khaki for God and country will march
in body.
The revival will end on Sunday with
union services in the tabernacle,
morning and night.
