TO EXCEED THE QUOTA.

CENATOR OWENS appeal to the citizens OF Oklahoma
that they go 50 percen, the states quota in the
war work drive, should get generous response. The
head OF the united war work campaign has made sim
liar appeal the whole country the increase being asked
solely because it perfectly plain that the money will be
needed Steady expansion of the American army and navy
have made increased demands the organizations repre-
sented in this appeal to funds and the coming OF peace
will call for still greater effort.
Therefore Oklahoma should be glad to pay increased
instaiment of the debt we owe our soldiers Many who
subscribe these funds will be helping their sons or
brothers who have gone Everyone will be send
ing money to safeguard the interests Of close friends in
the service but were there not the bond Of blood and
quantance the debt would be there just the same; those
men have been the protectors of America and humanity
and richly deserve all this any other ,ounry can do
for them,
Perhap, the needed sum could have been raised with
greater had the fixed quotas been changed but the
campaign managers have confidence in the patriotism Of
the people to furnish all the funds needed without
gard to earlier estimates whether oversubscrpton
some other term deSgnate the amount The people should
not disappont them in this expectation. II they should il

with anyone II becomes much when the one betrayed
has offered all for the country.
Remember that some estimates are that It will take as
much as two years to bring back and demobze army

going over the quota and that additional calls for the saf
purpose may be needed Help put Oklahoma the top

AUSTRIA's SUFFERING.

THE plabe condition Of the Austrian forces in retreat
give another reason why the dual empire crumbled
and sought peace any price When soldiers at the
front we'll the populace at home, are facing 'arya
ton 1t becomes utterly impossible for TO proceed
Morale is not entirely matter Of food, but the morale
Of the hungry army is pretty apt to he bad Germanys
sood problem may he somewhat less severe, but it is
tain that Germany unable to the aid of her
strongest ally or the break might not have
for the oapulaon of the Austans opened another Ger
man frontier to INVASION
Now i; to the allies that the Austrians must look io
help and sustenance and II Is to the credit Of the ltaan
that they going the relief Of the starving troops they
were so recently trying to kill The act Of humanity is
fitting closing spectacle in war in which civilized
humanity has rumphed completely over barbsrism The
free peoples like Huns either in victory de
feat although there must be punishment OF those who have
outraged the world lest justice be utterly hwared and the
forces Of rightiunes tempted to try again when oppor
tunity offers,
That punishment, however, will not be applied with
the vagery which has marked the conduct Of enemies
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-11-08

throughout this war II is impossible for the allies to
leave vanquhed foe to starve, as would be tor them
to butcher babies bomb hospitals torpedo deensees pas
senger ships desecate churches ravish women or pursue
other tactics which part of the Teutonic policy In
making war.
Perhaps the war lords may still sneer at ehvalry and
count mercy sign of weakness and inetfieency, but it
was because the Prussan mind failed to fahom the power
of the finer human sentiments and all men will give for
an ideal that the plan Of world conquest was predestned
to failure The materiasm which is the German ideal,
might quit as the easiest way out the Huns are quitting
now but men who fight for right fight on, or die
Austria has suffered great humiliation and the same
thing is coming to Germany but the dual monarchy will
suffer less physical hardshps and less injustice at the
hands of the victorious allies than it could have ex-
peced had it continued in alliance with Germany. The
kasers only use for allies that he could use them
and he was quite likely to betray them any time such
perdy might serve his ends Out Of the war on the
basis of unconditional surrender Austria at least has the
satisfaction OF dealing with honorable nations, and it is
not strange that even news of overwhelming defeat
long as il meant the end Of hositieS should be welcomed
with celebration and glad acclaim in Vienna
