Then Bell got busy. He went TO see
the secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce. There he was assured that
Tulsa fandom was willing to come to
the rescue. The fact that Scott has
spent to the limit without a squawk
In an effort 10 give Tulsa a winning
team has recommended him to the
sportsmen of the town. The propo-
sition of organizing a stock company
to operate the club was broached,
considered and passed up as undesir-
able In this case, the sentiment being
"A privately owned club was better
than one operated by stock COM
pany in a city of this size, and further
the sand was taken that il would
hardly be fair to Scott, who has in
vested so much in the proposition and
has lost thru no fault OF his own.
Just what plan for raising the $4,000
President Bell thinks Tuls1 shcild
donate has not been worked out, but
II will be one (which will be based on
out-and-ou donations TO the cause
of better baseball in recognition of
the appreciation of the efforts Scott
has made to get to the front.

In the beginning let Il be known
that Scotty hasn't his hand out. The
fundraising trip on which President
iIelI and Nicc-presidcnt Eoughncy of
Muskogcc are coming and In which
they will be joined by president
Jack Lctchcr and the league secrc-
tary after they arrive Is unsolicited.
When President Bell was in the city .
few days ago to see II he could dis
cover why Tulsa was not drawing as
II should and became assured that It
was because Of the position of the
Tulsa team in the pennant race, he
next sought to find out why Scott was
not bolstering up his weak spots. For
answer Scotty took him to his room,
where he opened before the presi-
dents eyes his cash book, laconically
saying. "Ive spent all | can"

STEAMSHIP COMPANIES
HANDICAP WAR PLANS
President Wilson Says Excessive
Ocean Rates Are Defeating
Armies OF Allies.
REGULATIONS TO BE MADE
American and British Authorities
Agree on Principles, and Negotia-
tions Arc Opened With France
and Italy,

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Regulation
OF ocean steamship rates between the
United States and allied nations has
been agreed upon in principle by the
American and British governments.
Negotiations are now proceeding
between Chairman Denman, of the
Shipping Board. and Counselor Polk.
OF the State Department. designated
by President Wilson to represent the
government, and British Admiralty Of
fcials to devise a program to make
the regulation effective, and bring
down present prohibitive rates.
France and Italy have sisniflcd their
willingness to accept the principle.
Negotiations probably will be opened
with Japan upon the arrival here OF
the Japanese mission, headed by Vice.
Admiral Takeshita.
Representing the British government
in the negotiations are Thomas Roy
den. chairman of the allies charterinE
commission. and j. A Salter, reauisi-
tiontng director here OF the British
Admiralty.
President Wilson's deep interest in
the negotiations was reflected In his
appeal July II to the business interests
or the country to give their aid freely
and unselfshly toward winning the
war Al HIS statement the president
said:
let me turn for a moment to the
ship owners of the United States and
the other ocean carriers whose example
they have followed. and ask them IL
they realize what obstacles, what al
most insuperable obstacles, they have
been putting in the way of successful
prosecution Of the war by the ocean
freight rates they are now exactinE.
They are doing everything that high
freight charges do to make the
war failure. to make 1t impossible.
do not say that they realize this or
intend 1t. The fact Is that those
who have fixed war freight rates have
taken the most effective means in their
power to defeat the armies engaged
against Germany. When they realize
this we may. take 1t for granted
count upon them to reconsider tho
whole matter. 1t IL high time Their
extra hazards are covered by war risk
Insurance."
Details to bring down soaring ocean
rates, which in many Instances have
reached almost prohibitive heights
are yet to be announced.

Another Liberty Loan to Como

THOUGH the official announcement has been
withheld, it is matter Of COMMON
knowledge that the government will launch
another war bond issue early in tho fall.
Such action will be absolutely necessary If
the bills which already have been contracted
are to be paid. More than twice the re-
turns from the first issue of bonds and
from normal taxation thrown in have been
appropriated to meet our war expenditures.
The size of the next offering is the most
important question the administration must
answer. Shall it be $1,000, 100000, $1,000
100000 or the full $1,000, 100000 yet to be
issued? Once a decision is reached uoon
this point, the country will be formally adj
vised of the fact, and in time full details will
be forthcoming. We have come to regard
the recent authorization of Congress- as a
$7,OOO,00O.000 bond issue. AS matter If
fact. only 5o0o,0o0,oO0 in all has been
ordered. An issue Of certificates of indebted
ness to the amount of 100000, 900 was
authorized, these certificates to mature in
one year. Some provision must be made
to take them up by the end of that period.
and further legislation probably will be
recommended by the President early in the
December session. Leaving out the short
term certificates. $4,000, 100000 in bonds
remains, of which the government has mar
keted $2,00O,000,000 already. This would
leave only s3,000,000,O00 which might be
offered this fall, and it seems likely that
tne country VIII be asked to absorb the
whole amount at one time. Such plan would
clear the way for future issues, particularly
that which will be found necessary 60 take
up the certificates Of Indebtedness which may be
outstanding at the date of their expiration
The enormous oversubscription of the first
Liberty loan gives promise Of a ready mar
ket Tor the next installment. The country
is still prosperous. Money-making has not
been interfered with by reason of the war
except in few instances of excessive profits
1or war materials. Our savings accounts were
hardly touched by the purchase of the
$4,000 100000 issue. Our crops now prom
Use handsome returns. Moreover greater
part OF the S2,ooo,oOo,o0O which the country
paid In to the government for the first Liberty
loan Will be back into the channels Of trade
by the time we are called upon for another
loan Only minor fraction of our money
has left our shores since the war began.
Every dollar which we have advanced to our
allies has remained in this country There
is no occasion whatever for believing that
our financial resources will be strained to
meet the new demand upon them

Guarding the West. We stand at bay,

Rousing the ghosts of old-time hosts
that battled with the Hun,
Guarding for ages yet unborn the need
your sires have won.
Scared are your plains with vandai
steel and scorchcd with the fires
of hell.
Yet on earth no soil is worth this
where your heroes fell
Flower Of your youth who rallied here.
and nobly fought and well.
Proudly we answer to your call who
know how We met the day
Never the breed shall fail in need or
fear the toll to pay.
Whittier the hand of glory points your
deeds have blazed the way.
Lands with common heritaEe-with
shores by the same blue laved-
over the sea come free to free that
freedom shall be saved,
Paying the debt OF battle fields where
once the lilies waved
Hark to the shout across the sea. and
look toward the setting sun
Be OF good cheer for we are here until
the task Is done,
Firm to the worlds high purpose held
to prove tho free are one.
