The American naval authorities state
that they have some few aviators who

GERMANS AGAIN CHARGE
HOSPITAL SHIP ABUSES
Reiterate Story That American
Aviators Travel as Red
Cross Members.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 1.-The German wire
hess, which a few days ago sent out a
dispatch alleging that American avia-
tors were crossing to Europe on hospital
bhips. reiterates these charges in a
longer dispatch today. The reason Tor
the emphasis placed on this false
charge by the Germans. it is pointed
out here, probably is that they are lay
ing the foundation for justification at
later date of the torpedoing of American
hospital ships. in case any such ships
Ire put in the transatlantic service to
barry home invalided soldiers. 1t may
be recalled that similar charges were
spread broadcast about British hospital
ships, as prelude to torpedo1nS them
THE German wireless message today
hays:
Claims Documentary Evidence.
American aviators are crossing to
Europe as members of the Red Cross
in hospital ships. This misuse of the
Red Cross appears from documentary
evidence found on American aVlators
who have been shot down. An American
brought down in the region OF the army
of Gen. Won Hutier carried a pass which
referred to him as member of the
American ambulance service for France.
prisoners openly admit that it is the
general practice for aviatorS to enter
the American ambulance service for
their passage to Europe and to cross on
hospital ships. After they are landed in
France they Immediately transfer to the
automobile corps and thence into the
air service.
1.-THE captured aviator referred to had,
however, transferred directly from the
ambulance service into the air service.

Tomorrow at the Oklahoma College
for Women will come the climax Of

exercises will be held and diplomas
awarded 1t will be a memorable oc-
casion to the young ladies who are to
close their college careers, almost
as significant to fathers and mothers
who will be here from far and near
and it should receive recognition gen
orally at the hands of the citizens Of
Chickasha.
By attending the commencement
exercises the people Of Chickasha
viii demonstrate to the visitors that
they are deeply interested in the great
Institution which we have in our city.
Every merchant banker professional
man and every other man and woman
IN Chickasha should feel a personal
interest in this institution which is
such an important asset to the city,
both from the business and the edu-
cational point of view.
Commencement furnishes an oppor-
tunity to the citizens of Chickasha to
give testimony to their spirit of CO.
operation in the great work which
President Austin and the members of
his faculty have in hand Every
business institution in the city should
Have at least one representative at
the closing exercises.
That the 0. c. w. is destined to
develop into a larger and larger in
stitution year by year is not open to
question. It's growth will be measur
ed only by the extent to which the
state legislature provides facilities for
its expansion. To win our fights be.
