Boys Are Pinchcd:
Three overZealous boys wound up
at the municipal calaboose along
about 10 o'c.cck in the evening or just
when the night was getting under
way. There was a little intermission
while the boys telephoned their faith
ors and the captain scowled fero-
ciously in their direction. After a
time satisfactory cash bonds were ar
ranged. the youths permitted to be on
their way and the desk sergeant was
been brought within the confines and
limitations of the hoosgow.
They were making too derned much
fuss was the sergeants reply. only he
didn't say derned, and advocating. as
we do, the use Of pure English, we
won't say what he said But let Is
suffice when we say the sergeant was
of the opinion that the boys had been
making little more fuss than was
exactly in keeping with the peace and
dignity of the city.

Everyone should get the vision OF
the seriousness of the food problem
during this war. We in Oklahoma

the pinch Of having to do without
the foods we have heretofore been
accustomed to and we are slow TO

this food card signing campaign. but
we are beginning to wake up and

child will be alive to this movement

CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAP

ILTHAT had been celebrated as primarily
w triumph Of our army in speedily
mobilizing a large force on French soil
now turns out to have been a remarkable
series Of engagements between part Of
our navy ana formidable squadron Of
enemy submarines The first real battle
Of our war ended i'm a glorious victory
for American gunners-several U-boats
probably were sunk and not an American
ship was touched, and neither American
soldier nor sailor scratched.
II was the most ambitious concen-
trated effort Of submarines Of the last
three years, the Kaiser's mailed fist
shaken in mid.Atlantic to strike terror
to the heart OF his new foe. Berlin had
planned a great sea slaughter, something
that would make another holiday for the
German school children who were told to
celebrate the murder of the women and
babies Of the Lusitania The lurking
pirates. whose past barbarties have shut
them off from all pity, were caught in
their own trap. They were not fighting
with women and babies this time. The
Sea- Boches tasted the fate of their help
less victims The oil from bursted tanks
rose to the surface and the American
ships went on their way unscathed.
II is a disturbing fact that the enemy
knew where and when to await the trans
ports. As the Bureau Of Public Informa.
ton pointed out in its recent instructions
TO the press, it is not from German wait
ers and servant maids or newspaper
readers that important information gets
to the enemy The real spies whose
activity is readily recognized in this latest
episode, are usually men of education
and refinement more likely than not to
be employed by the Government as Of
fcers either in the army or the navy
Berlin doubtless got its information from
Washington. Through what media this
information was conveyed is conjectural.
But the fact that the enemy was fore
warned makes the feat Of the American
gunners the more magnificent. Alert in
the dark, even though hundreds of miles
from where they might expect U.boats,
they were not to be taken by surprise
Our searchllghts picked up the foe and
all devices, even a new bomb exploding
under water, were put into use without
seconds delay. 1t is no wonder that
Admiral Gleaves, who commanded the
convoy, has been such a happy man since
landing In France. And his achievement
gives to those who must sooner or later
face the same perils a feeling Of conf.
| dence in the future security of our troop

MOBILIZING THE WOMEN

THE work that is being done by club
l. women in this city to enlist 605,000
housewives for food conservation is no
light task no fad. 1t is matter Of stern
necessity that this registration be accom-
plished and that the pledges be lived up
to in order that the Hoover campaign be
made successful. Women handle 80 per
cent Of the food consumed at the nations
dinner tables. Their effort or their neg
lect will thus be an all-important factor
in making or marring the national plan
Of feeding our Allies and ourselves at rea.
sonable prices. Stacking in this crisis
can never be excused. We have no doubt
that women will in this case give another
clear proof that they are patriotic

felt that liberty was collectively Franco.
American ideal. He put all these thoughts
in his work, perhaps dimly visioning
through the veil of years that should
roll by after his death the picture of
France and the United States side by
side and shoulder to shoulder with their
allies in the noble work of opposing the
menace upon those principles which lib
erty with uplifted torch symbolizes.
II think that this is solemnly so. And
I feel in view of that which present-day
history records, it is fitting beyond words
that this great work Of art should stand
where it does; that it represents that which
it proclaims by day and night; that it

upon the Grenelle bridge over the Seine,
we have an exact replica of this statue of

From it I can further realize the
grandeur of the original in its gigantic
size, serving as a landmark by day and
a beacon by night upon your shores. And
see in 1t the realization of the sculptor's
dream, this great artist, who was an Alsa
tian, who had seen and felt the despair
of his native province at German occupa

statue the emblem and epigraph of al
that France and the United States stand
