not appear IN the presidents note
Il point on which the world has been
asking questions can be anSwered to-
night
When the president declared that
the wrong done to France when Ger
many took Alsace- Lorraine should be
righted, he meant that Alace-L Lor-
raine should he returned to France.
Those who contend the presidents
decision arranges tho situation Tor
something more than an uncondi-
tional surrender base Il on the argu-
mcnt hat he has now passed the
stage where he might have accepted
"A surrender OF the Germany military
and naval forces and left the HOhen-
zollern lutocracy on its throne.
Must Overthrow Kaiser.
Mr.. Wilson, according to this view,
has now finally informed the Ger
man people that II they want peace
they can only attain 1t by getting rid
of the kaiser ana his system.
An armistice, 1t is true. might come
first and the details OF the downfall
OF the German autocratic govern
ment might be arranged later. But
this is what an armistiCe would en-
tail.
First, u stop TO the atrocities on
land and sea and the systematic de-
struction and devastation In the
wake OF the rotreating German
armies. Then. the disarmament OF
all the German forces and the deposit
of their arms and munitions at points
to be chosen by the allied military
comman icrs. Then, the occuption
by allied forces Of certain German
cities or strongholds Of strategic i'm
pOrtance. Probably also the occupa-
ton of all tho submarine bases, and !
turning over of the German fleet
In short It would entail taking |
from Germany Of everything with |
which she might break her word to
an armiStCc.
From that point the United States
and the allies might proceed to dis
pose of all that remained OF kaiser
ism II the German people have not
done it before. as President Wilson
in his note plainly invites them to
do.

so far" said Mr.. Humphrey today
"The various committeeman are re.
porting more names every day. The
probabilities are that many people
have not been solicited. It is nearly
impossible to see everyone If such
is the case, we would be glad if those
who have not been seen and who de-

MAKE BIG
PROGRESS
WITH WORK

Walk into the Christian church
these days, and you will take a sec.
ond look to get your bearings. For
you will feel that probably you have
made a mistake, and have dropped
into public school room, You will
not find people comfortably lolling
in the pews, listening or appearing
to. But you will find tables, at
which teachers. preachers, official
board members, from other churches
in the state, are busily writing. They
are taking notes, which will be ex-
amined at the end of the course.
1t is now too late for one to en-
roll and receive the International
certificate. However, one may attend
the remaining lectures, and receive
much good from them. Already
many are lamenting their failure to
begin at the beginning. The school
meets every afternoon at 3:45
o'clock, and runs to near 10 o'clock
at night.
The plea is heard on every hand
for efficient church schools. BY this
is meant something more and better
than the old fashioned Sunday school,
Bible school, The term Sunday
school only describes when the
school meets, and such is true of
:he Sabbath school. The term Bible
school leads one to think that mere
ly information of a Biblical nature
is the center of things. But this is
10 longer true. The church school,
is the school of the church, and it
is built around the needs of life, in
its various periods Of development
Rev. Thornton of El Reno, who
brought six delegates with him, re-
grets that he didn't bring his entire
church school faculty. And the same
nay be said of every delegate at
tending. Supt. G. F. Newell of the
Christian church school, is hopeful
that the vision given in the School of
Methods will at some early date be
converted into brick and mortar, as
well as into flesh and bone.

Charge; We're Unmashed

Sheriff Hodge Bailey and Deputy
Glover of Rush Springs we're called
to Norge @ast night about 8 oclck
to arrest Clay Levitt and Clarence
Byford who were said to have robbed
the Frisco agent at that place. With
In two hours after the officers had
been notified they had the alleged
highwRymen and were on their way
back to Chickasha.
Ihe men are said to have secured
about SIG from the agent. They were
unnasked the agent said, and when
he began to question them, one of
the men started to hit him with q
chair, whereupon he stopped his
quizzing methods and handed over
the cold cash. So close did he scru-
tinize the robbers that he was able
to tell the officers the kind of guns
the men had and a detailed descrip-
tion of their personal appearance and
also where the men would probably
be found.
The agent said that he thought the
men lived about mile and half
west of Norge. The officers imme-
diately went out to the place and up
on knocking at the door one Of the
men who had been described came
to the door Sheriff Bailey then told
him to get his clothes on and as the
man started back to his room the
officers followed Bailey asked
where the guns we're and the men
started to reach for them, but the
officers beat them to it. "Of course
we we're confident that the men
would not reach for their guns but
we felt a great deal safer with the
artillery in our possession, said the
sheriff.
The men were walked back to
Norge where Deputy Sheriff Castle
man was waiting with a car to bring
them to Chickasha The alleged rob-
bers each had a .3S calibre revolver
under. their pillows when found.
When Byford was searched he had a
knife with a 5 inch blade on his
person.
Byford is said to live one and a
half miles west of Norge and Levitt
is said to be his cousin and has been
here only few days on visit. Both
men were lodged in the Grady coun-
ty Jail to await their trials.

WAR SAVINGS TO
HELP BUILDING

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 7-One di-
rect result of the war savings stamp
movement will be the formation of
habits of thrift among large pro-
Tortion of the states population and
the first branch of business and loan
associations. The slogan, "own your
own home" will have a new meaning
80 the average American after this
campaign.
Based on this assurance the Natin-
tional War Savings committee for
Oklahoma is appealing to every
building and loan association to lend
possible assistance to the campaign
and become selling agency for the
stamps before the intensive drive
opens February II.
