Lieutenant Commander Gill Tells How the Sea

80 far as the records show the
failure there was duc to the army and
not to the navy. When the time came
for land operations TO support the
navy the transports arrived with the
guns and ammunition of the soldiers
buried in the hold under tons of tents
and camp equipment. II was necess-
airy TO send the transports back TO
Egypt to be unloaded and reloaded
in such u way that the soldiers could
so ashore properly armed To resist
attack. This took tvu weeks. In
the meantime, the Turks fortified the
peninsula and sent heavy guns to the
fortifCations. If this two weeks had
not been lost by the attacking forces

LITERARY HISTORY
TOLD FOR ADULTS
First Volume of an Admirably
Planned Story of Intellectual
Development of America

The first volume or what bids fair to
/ be the most satisfactory history of Amer
| lean literature yet produced has recently
come from the press. IL Is known as
"The Cambridge History of American
Literature" II Is TO appear in three vol
umes when completed. The first volume
Is devoted TO colonial and revolutionary
literature and TO early national ltera-
ture. Tho second volume will treat still
further Of early national literature and
the last volume will deal with the period
froh 1850 to 1900. The history IS edited
by board consisting of Dr. William p.
Trent, professor of English at Columbia
University; DIR. John Erskine, also of the
Columbia English faculty; DT. Stuart
i. sherman, professor OF English In the
University Of Illinois, and Dr. Carl Van
Doren. head master Of the Brearly
School.
The purpose Of these editors, admir-
ably executed in the first volume, Is 70
produce 4 history Of the intellectual de-
velopmont of America, and not merely
to tell the story OF the production of
belle lettres here. Accordingly they have
included the books of the travellers and
explorers, the historians the puritan
preachers and the political writer's, along
with a discussion Of the early newspapers
the novelists, essayists. dramatists and
poets. Still further, they have declined
TO succumb 10 the New England infu-
ence. for they refuse to admit that moth
ing worth while was produced anywhere
else. In other words, they are making
n national and not a sectional history.
Full-Rrown men and women will be de-
lighted TO know that these editors. al
though they are teachers, have deliber-
ately relrained from attempting to make
a college textbook so written as to be
within the reach Of the purse and the in |
tellect OF youths just approaching their |
majority. In other words, they are edit |
ing mans book.
The volume under consideration con-
tains eighteen chapters written by six |
teen different persons. Most Of the |
are necessarily college pro- |
fessors. The time may come when we |
shall have in America a body of duaIi- /.
fed critics and historians of literature
rot engaged in teaching, who could be .
trusted to write sane and informed lit /.

yet arrived, SO il necessary to depend !.
on the college professors and TO make |

which they labor, arising from their con- /
slant contact with immature minds and 4
the constant need of interpreting their
subjects In such a way that those with I

BRITISH AND AMERICAN So
CIALlSTS

Under the influence of pro-German
propaganda and yielding willing obe-
dience to the Bergers and other lead
ers whose sympathies are with
the Huns in the world struggle for
democracy, the American socialist
party has gone on record as official
" opposed to the war in which Amer
lea is engaged However, it is only
fair to say that some of the ablest
men in the party, true to america
fiIst" have broken away from the
party and are Loyalty supporting their
government In striking contrast
with the attitude of the American
Socialists is that of the British So
cialist party. On this point the
Message of Greeting" of the British
Socialists to the American labor del
egation, recently visiting England,
furnishes important testimony. This
message was as follows :
''You future is threatened as is
ours. The Germans and their con
federates menace you as they do us.
The horrors of rape, torture, ruth
less murder and massacre of women
and children, every atrocity dehu-
manized men can commit, are the VA
evitabe outcome OF unrestrained Ger
man bloodlust.
I'VE welcome your powerful aid
against these brutal enemies, We
rejoice at your visit. We are proud
of the magnificent courage and te-
nacity with which the troops OF the
British commonwealths are holding
their own in France against very
heavy odds They are fighting this
desperate battle for you and for us.
We know well that as your turn
comes the men of America will do
precisely the same.
DO not think the peoples of the
British commonwealths would give
way under any circumstances. They
would not But the help of our coun-
trymen and the vast resources OF
your country will greatly shorten tho
war and render our triumphs certain.
The German rulers themselves know,
whatever may be the immediate re-
suit of the present terrific battle,
that the avengers OF their crimes are
already marshaled for victory, under
the Union Jack, the tri-color, and
the stars and stripes. The red flag,

NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS DAY

June 2Sth has been designated as
National War Savings Day On that
day the people of the nation will
meet in their respective communities
and give their subscriptions for War
Savings Stamps. They will pledge
their government on their word of
honor to purchase a specified amount
at periodic intervals during the year.
Oklahoma has never failed in any
war activity. Now let all of us put
cur shoulders to the wheel and raise
this states quota of War Savings
Stamps which is forty-seven million
dollars. Remember June 28th is the
day
The American people will meet as
one and send this message to the
Kaiser: 1--WE are united and will
wage relentless war until Germany
makes an unconditional surrender :"
No matetr what this war costs the
government and the people of the
United States in the way OF money,
it is going to be much cheaper to
win this war than to lose it.
The commercial and financial loss-
es that would follow a German vic
tory are not to be calculated All
that we spent would be lost, indem-
mites beyond calculation would have
to be paid, and along with these loss
es would come continuing loss in
foreign commerce that would spell
disaster.
With these material losses we
would lose our national liberty and
independence, our power to secure
our international rights, our right
to live in world ruled by the die
tates OF humanity and civilization.
National War Savings Day has a
double meaning. 1t signifies ma
tion united in spirit and a people
ready to make any sacrifice. The
hand on the dial of success in this
war points to June 2Sth.
America, the young giant nation,
has just awakened not knowing its
power but tense in every muscle and
earnest in every thought, and above
all thinks only Of war.
Remember your duty on June 2Sth,
National War Savings Day.
