FRIDAY. OCTOBER IS, 1918
The PEACE PROSPECTS

Germany's answer to President
Wilson's note brought to many the
impression that peace would inn
mediately come, and much rejoicing
followed. But as the facts are
brought out and the situation more
clearly understood, it seems that
we may be some distance from a
cessation Of fighting.
The note from Germany was d.
rected to President Wilson. but, in
some way, got into public print
before reaching the president, and
this is written before he makes
any statement as to his action in
the matter.
To our mind it is clear that
Germany sees ultimate defeat, and
would like to prevent that destruc-
tion of her country, which an in
vasion of an hostile army would
inHict, and prefers to yield to a
peace dictated by the allies now
than after her army had been COM
pletely destroyed and her country
wrecked by an invading army.
There is in all the allied countries
a Vindictive spirit that would like
to see visited upon Germany all
the destruction and woes that her
armies have inflicted upon the
countries invaded. Germany knows
this and wants to escape such a
disaster. She knows, also. that
she has no grounds, either in war
or in peace council, to plead
mercy, and she prefers to take her
chances in a council.
There are also those who believe
that the movement is a subterfuge
upon the part of Germany to in
some way get an advantage. That
she will in no way respect her OBJ
legations, and the fact that she con-
tinues to fight, burn, pillage and
destroy innocent women and chill
dren is cited as proof of her insin-
cerity in the present request.
There are those who criticise the
president for asking Prince Max
imilian the exact meaning of his
peace plea before rejecting it.
These insist that no peace shall be
made with Germany until her arm
les are actually destroyed, her soil
invaded and her cities devastated.
In contradistinction to this conten-
tion are those who insist that when
America entered the war it was
upon the declaration that we
will give all the blood necessary to
win a victory for freedom, but not
one drop for revenge. We are
fighting, they insist, for justice
and liberty, nothing more, and that
when we are assured we have
gained these ends we have nothing
to fight for.
It is a difficult problem the
president is called upon to solve,
and, at this writing, there are var
ious opinions as to just what the
outcome will be. The result may
mean an early peace or a long,
continued war. In either case the
sensible thing to do is to keep up
the preparation. and trust our
leaders to do the correct thing.

NO WAY TO KEEP
THIS MAN OUT
FIGHTING UNIT

There was only one answer. Alon-
SO Chalepah, Indian full blood of
Anadarko was going to join the army.
He made two attempts and was turn
ed down by the recruiting officer
here. The only things wrong with
him were that he was married, had
three children, all dependants, was
little beyond the soldfering age and
was slightly heavy But he was, and
is, possessed of a good education and
determination to do his bit.

These things and others he said on
his. third trip to the office. Seeing
that there was only one ultimate an
swer, the sergeant reconsidered. AS
result Chalepah is on his way to
Fort Logan, his first lap on the
road to Berlin.

Simpsons Statement.
County Attorney Simpson stated
that in his opinion Chickasha was
much cleaner than the average city
of its size. Bootlegging had been re
duced to the hip-pocket peddler;
there were no gambling houses, such
gaming as is carried on taking place
in private rooms; there were nc
bawdy houses and professional pros
stitutes had been reduced to a mini
mum. In regard to the house men.
toned in Captain Slaughters report
he stated that he had asked for
an injunction but had been unable
to get it because he could not secure
the testimony of the two soldiers who
reported it.
81 court investigation and welcome
all the assistance | can get in my
efforts to make Chickasha clean
town." said Mr.. Simpson.
Asked by r. D. Welborne why he
had not sent some gamblers to the
penitentiary, he said he had accepted
fines because of insufficient evidence
to secure prison sentences. Didn't
offer to furnish you evidence in
some cases?" asked Mr.. Welborne.
Answer: 81 did not have the au-
thority to conduct the necessary
court Of inquiry to make this evil
dence available" Mr.. Carmichael
suggested a method of taking this
evidence but Mr.. Simpson did not
agree with him concerning the law
in the matter.
Mr.. Simpson said he stood ready TO
prosecute whenever evidence was
presented to him, He suggested that
some plain-clothes men would be
more effective than the uniformed
military police in getting evidence.

Maris impulsively bends down and
kisses the man for whom she had
staked her life.
