SUGAR IN

Carload Of Sugar Expected This Week
But No Definite Information Can
Be Secured by Wholesaler

The sugar situation in Chickasha
is tightening up perceptibly and while
relief is in sight, it is so uncertairs
that calculation as to just when IL
win arrive is useless The local gro-
GERS are now selling sugar to their
customers in twenty-five cent lots,
and some Of them have completely
exhausted their supply
A local wholesale grocer stated
this morning that car Of sugar was
expected to arrive IN Chickasha this
week but stressed the point that II
was impossible to state whether or
not it would arrive, according to eN.
pectations.
Gar shortage seems to be the
greatest difficulty az this particular
time" he said. I'VE have advice that
beet sugar is being refined now, but
statements from our base Of supply
in Colorado are to the effect that
they can make no definite calcula-
tions on when they viii be able 10
get shipments ont They have adyis-
ed us that to wire or write them is
only unnecessary expense as they
are doing all in their power to get
the sugar to us They state that
when they get the cars the sugar
win be delivered to us So you see
that everything is very definite and
It is impossible to make any definite
calculations"

In spite of the two knockout blows administered to the Davis bill to re- peal the boxing law, Governor Whit man is still determined to enact legis- lation that will kill the pugilistic game.
 "I expect the bill will be passed yet" he said yesterday. T believe there is sufficient sentiment in both the senate and the assembly to pass this bill when full vote is taken" If the senate passes the Slater bill. which is practically the same as the Davis bill, the assembly will have a third chance to act on an anti-boxing measure. There is difference of opinion among members of the lower house as to whether the third attempt would be successful. While some be- lieve that if the governor brings sufi- cient pressure he may get the Slater bill through the assembly, others de- clare that anti-boxing sentiment is losing ground every day in that house and that to bring a boxing repeal bill before them again will be resented.
 One assemblyman said yesterday that he knew four members voting for the bill Wednesday and the day before, who would be recorded against the measure if it comes up again.

greatly lengthening the war; He was unsparing in his ridicule of pacifists, and he pictured in detail what would happen to William J. Bryan's army of million farmers with squirrel guns racing in F,ords to meet an invading army of Germany. He pictured them being wiped out with bombs from aeroplanes and smashed by heavy ar tillery fired from distance of ten to twelve miles.
 This country has suffered very much from clinging to ridiculous and antiquated ideas about war; MT. harmful than the idea that all this country needs to defend itself is plenty of men with rifles. Rifles play rather a small part today in war, carried on largely by machines, some of which are so complex and difficult to operate that man must be trained for a year or more before he is fit to handle them.
 There is danger now of another delusion, and that is that the war is soon to be over. Don't believe that. It is going to be a long war. The greatest blow that we can strike right now is to adopt the scheme of selec- tive conscription which President Wilson is advocating. There could be no better stroke for a quick ending of the war than the knowledge in Ger many that we have adopted compul- sorry military service. and that we are in the War in earnest, and with all our power and resources. &
 ''The Germans are not going to be beaten by an internal revolution. They are not going to be beaten be- cause they need food. They can get along, though with difficulty, with the food which they have. They need to hold out till about July 15, when the. new crop will come to their relief. The Germans rely largely on rye, and that crop is ready at about that date. It will be a very severe trial for them. but they are the kind of people who can do it. As to the possibility of a German revolution, we might as we'll put that aside. The Germans are not the kind of people to indulge in revolutions
 "If we had not entered this war Oil the side of the Allies, we would have been forced single-handed to fight the Germans at the end of this war, and the rest of the world would have looked on with something like ap- plause. because we had failed to do our part in the war for civilization

Gerard Says Conscription Would Be Our Hardest Moral Punch

New York, April 2O.-Ambassador James w. Gerard said last night in an address to the Magnetic club made Up of employees of the Postal Telegraph company that the heaviest moral blow which Germany could suffer would be to receive the news that the United States had adopted compulsory mili- tary service He said that superior strength alone could defeat Germany. and that the belief that starvation or a revolution would overthrow the Hohenzollerns was a delusion. The entrance of the United States with all her strength into the war would greatly shorten it, he added.
 Had the pacifists succeeded in keeping this country out of war, they would have caused the nation to be crushed by Germany later before a world which would enjoy the spec tacle. MT. Gerard said. If those who now oppose conscription succeed, he said, their success would result in

AMATEUR SPORT.
 LINE IS DRAWN
Contests for Championship Barred
 by Action of Officials

New York, April 20.-Eliminatio of championships in amateur athletic contests during tho war and the hold as to interest all citizens in systematic exercise for the improvement of their physical condition were advocated in resolutions adopted yesterday at a meeting of representatives from lead ing amateur sport governing bodies
 The resolutions stated that the youth of the nation should be en- couraged to become physically fit and mentally alert, through the stimulus of athletic competition, and that every effort should be made to interest all citizens in the improvement of their physical condition by systematic exer- else and participation in sport. but that by reason of the state of war now existing it is not advisable to hold championship events at any date sub- sequent to call of the government for volunteers or the enactment and operation of a bill for compulsory service.
 And that in place of championship events competitions should be held in which certificates instead of the usual PAANS0 VI AAACudlS SWOutu DS the OILY award made to the winners, such cer- tif1cates to state that by reason of ex- isting conditions the winners shall not be recognized as the champion for the year in the sport for which the com petition is held.
 And 1t is the further sense of this meeting that so long as the existing state of war continues all athletic meetings shall be conducted as pa- triotic demonstrations and should be held for the purpose of raising funds for the American Red Cros.s.'
 The meeting was attended by off cials of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association. the United States Golf Association. the Amateur :, Athletic Union of the United State. and the Intercollegiate Athletic Asso. citation.
