Take Him With You


Take him with you when you 90.

Proper sports and proper Joys.

Take your Sunday walk with him,
Seriously talk with him.

As the by.gone days J. had

In The years that stretch behind
Even now in dreams / see
Happy hours he promised me-
Eagerly, I'd wait the day
Hand in hand we'd walk away;
Even at his office grim,
was proud TO be with him
More than pleasure fine, II meant
When somewhere with him | went;
Little things | couldn't see
Father pointed out to me-.
showed me men erect and true.
And sometimes the false ones, TOO.
And And tSs while we walked along,
Talked with me OF right and wrong,
And for all the years 10 be -
Opened wide his soul 10 me.

Teach him what you'd have him know
Let him have the Joy you knew
When you owned father, too;
Walk with him, and let him find
What is hidden in your mind.
Talk with him OF men and things:
He will heed your counselings,
Take him with you when you can,
Teach him how TO be man.

HUNS MAKE SAVAGE
IMPORTS AGAINST SAMMIES

LONDON, May 80. - The Amer
leans who captured Cantigny have
beaten off attack after attack by
the Germans. Large German forces
are said to have been gathered to
retake the village and they have
launched savage assaults at the
Americans. but the latter with rifle
and machine gun fire have moved
dowr the advancing Teutons while
the American artillery has smashed
the formations with barraEc fire.
Along tho American positions
in the Toul and Luneville sectors
there have been several spirited en-
gaFernents but nowhere have the
Germans succeeded in penetrating
the American lines. The fighting in
the air in those sectors has been of
remarkable ,nte nsity with the Amer
icans holding their own against the
foe.

M 'AD00 WARNS RAIL
MEN NOT TO STRIKE
Tells Them They Are Employees of
United States and Cannot Cocrce
Its Government
TELEGRAPHS UNION HEADS
Action Taken As Result Of Strike
at Alexandria and Others
Called by Men.

WASHINGTON. May SO.--Rail-
road employees were reminded by
Director General McAdoo tonight
that they are employees of the United
States in time of war and that a
strike means a blow at their own
government and the hampering OF
transportation essential TO protect
hundreds of thousands of American
boys fighting on the battle fields Of
Europe.
A few days ago several hundred
ma achinists and shop men at Alexan-
dria. Va, left their posts in South
ern railroad shops In protest against
small increases given them under tho
director geenrars new scale OF
higher wages and there have been
threats OF general walkout of
union shopmen next Monday unless
substantial further pay advances are
forthcoming before that time.
In a telegram 10 the heads OF all
labor unions having shopmen
among their members MFR. McAdoo
gave notice that the government can
not be coerced or intimldated and
called upon railroad men to remain
at their duty and rely upon him and
the new board of railroad wages
and working conditions TOT Just CON
liberation OF their claims. He
asked the union leaders TO urge upon
their men by wire the wisdom and
patriotism OF this course.
1.-The strike Of certain shopmen,
machinists, etc, in the railroad
shops at Alexandria, Va, has created
a very painful impression on the
public mind" said the director gem
erals message. II can not believe
that these men knew what they were
doing. They are all employees now
OF the United States government
They are not employees of any rail-
road corporation, therefore, this was
a strike against the government OF
the United States.
ut Is the first time in the history
OF our government that any of Its
employees have attempted strike
against their government. Such ac.
ton is Incredible. For the good OF
our beloved country and for the
honor of railroad men in the service
everywhere, hope that there will be
no repetition OF what everyone must
condemn as unpatriotlc in the
highest degree"

TULSA OBSERVES
DECORATION DAY
Graves of Honored Dead in
City Strewn with Pro-
fusion of Flowers
CEREMONIES AT 0AKLAWN
Old Soldiers, Home Guard and
Citizens Do Homage and
Pledge Allegiance.
MUST PROTECT SCHOOLS
Reverend P. j. Riley Advises
Firing Squad for Every
Pro-German.

Memorial day for Tulsa and the
nation had an unusual significance
yesterday. The usual ceremonies Of
decorating the graves OF the loved
and honored dead were but part
of the days business. II was a day
for renewing the pledges of patriot
ism that many have made in the
thirteen months that America has
been in the great war.
There was not great celebration
anywhere in the city. The largest
was at Oaklawn cemetery in the aft
ernoon, where several hundred per
sons were gathered and in the morn
ing when the daughters OF the G.,
A. r. assembled on the Arkansas
river bridge and cast flowers and
bouquets upon the turbid waters of
the stream in memory Of the brave
men who have given their lives for
the liberty of America.
All Tulsa Observes Day.
But perhaps there has never been
such n universal celebration, of the
day as Yesterday IN Tulsa. II began
in the morning with special services
In every one OF the churches in the
city and continued throughout the
day when all Tulsa went to the GEM
eteries TO place a wreath upon the
resting place Of its dead.
II was. as the presidents procla
nation declared It should be, day
of public humiliation. The Rev. j.
y. Riley, pastor of the Orcutt Mem
ortal church. saw to that when he
spoke briefly but with great strength
at the ceremonies at Oaklawn Gem
etery and told OF the sacrifices oil
the old soldiers to save the union
from destruction and touched upon
our present inertia in the war.
Ceremonies at Oaklawn.
The ceremonies were presided over
iy j. A, pOliphant who opened the
afternoon with the singing OF
nounced by the Rev. j. w. Abel and
then the crowd sang the, Star
Spangled Banner. Judge Oiiphant
explained the principles for which
the civil war was fought as one OF
the right OF n state to withdraw from
the union. 1t has been settled that
state cannot and the civil war es-
tablished 1t beyond a doubt. II the
union had lost the war, we would
now have a multiplicity of small ma
tons and not the united America
that is now standing as bulwark
in Germany's path to world subJu-
cation and domination, he said.
There were some fifteen of these
gray old veterans Of the civil war
All except one were men who wore
the blue, but the brother of the
gray was welcomed by the men he
fought against half a century ago.
The old men were attentive listeners
to the speeches. They applauded
every derogative mention of the
kaiser and the Huns and from time
TO time interrupted the proceedings
with vigorous comment that came
instinctively from hearts that years
had not cooled.
"Oh hell" exclaimed an old man
in the seventies when the Reverend

RUSSIA AGREES TO CEDE
TERRITORY TO GET PEACE
Accepts Proposal to Meet With Firms
Who Are Acting In Behalf
of Germany.

BY Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Monday, May 27.-For-
eign Minister Tchitcherin has sent
a note to Count Won Muerbach. the
German ambassador, announcing
that Russia accepts the German pro-
posal to begin peace negotiations
with Finland on the basis OF the
cession of Forts 1no and Ruivola,
both on the Baltic, to Russia, which
pledges itself not to fortify them.
In return Russia is willing to cede a
strip OF westerly Murman territory,
giving Finland access to the Arctic
ocean.
Finland, evidently under the In
structions of Germany, has been IN
eisting on the cession OF the Murman
territory making it an indispensable
condition to peace negotiations, This
will give Germany port on the
Arctic and enable her to establish a
submarine base.
