MEMPHIS POLICEMAN
KILLED BY NEGRO

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 23,-Sey-
eral hundred citizens joined the po-
lice and sherif's deputies today in
systematic search Of the swamps
south of this city in pursuit of an
unidentified negro who this morn
ing shot and killed one policeman,
f. T. Broadfoot, and wounded an
other when the two officers attempt
ed to search a suitcase the negro
carried and in which it was suspect
ed liquor was being smuggled into
the city. /. c. Dowdy, the wound
ed policeman, probably will recover.
Another negro, who was in the
small restaurant where the shooting
occurred, also was wounded, not ia
tally. He denied knowledge as to
the identity of the negro who did
the shooting or the contents Of the
suitcase, which disappeared.

THE WILL AND THE WAY.


IF | put my head to it, there are
plenty of ways to save wheat one
young housewife was heard to re-
mark as she was doing her day
marketing. "But it is so upsetting
to have to change even the things
we have always considered staple,
she continued with a tone of an
noyance.
War is "upsetting." The whole
world seems topsy-turyy. From eco
nomic upheaval to personal sacri-
fee it brings national and individual
changes in its wake.
The least of these, however, is the
necessary changes in our marketing
and eating. Without asking why or
how, we have grown accustomed TO
the flavor of wheat Now we are
asked to learn to eat corn.
The housewife who put her head
to it found she could make the fol
lowing changes in just one days
menu and save in her own ia uily
enough wheat to satisfy several Eu-
ropean families on their present re-
stricted wheat diet.
These are her three menus as she
would have served them in time OF
peace and plenty and then her war
time substitutions:
Breakfast.
Wheat cereal and cream

Money in Bank
To Drill and
Complete Well
$4,000 has been set

Aside by this company to cover the ex-
pense of drilling and completing this first
well on the Shirt-Seeve Oil companys
lease in Okmulgee county, Oklahoma. This
money has been raised by the sale of stock,
and, as guarantee to the stockholders, |
have placed this amount in the bank for
this express purpose l do not believe it
will take more than $4,000 to complete
this first big we'll, but have played safe
for the company and the stockholders in
case of any delays that might occur. This
big well will be started just as soon as a
good drilling contract can be drawn up and
the weather conditions will justify This
well should be a big gusher. We are right
in the heart of this field. where big gush-
res are being brought in and huge der
ricks being rapidly erected preparatory to
drilling other wells. The big 2,000-barrel
gusher, which the Okmulgee Producing
and Refining company brought in few
weeks ago, is only about 800 yards from
our lease. An account of their second
2,000-barrel well, brought in a few days
ago, appeared in the Daily Okahoman
under date of February H., on page II.
Both of these big wells are in section 25,
township ID north, range II east This
section adjoins section &c, in which the
Shirt-Sleeve lease is located This makes
the third big we'll our neighbors have
brought in recently-the other, reported
1,000-barrel well, is about 1000 yards to
the southeast of our lease. We are on this
great structure and confident that our first
we'll will be as big, if not bigger gusher
than either of the Okmulgee company's
fortune-makers.

ANOTHER SPANISH
SHIP IS sunk
TORPEDOED BY HUN AND
CREW IS LEFT ADRIFT
IN THE SEA.

Madrid, Feb. y (Friday).-The
Spanish steamer Mar Caspio has
been sunk by submarine on her way
to New York with a cargo of cork,
The crew was picked by the the
Spanish steamer Claudio Lopek y
Lopez, which also was stopped by
the submarine, but later was allowed
TO proceed.
The captain of the Claudio Lopez
Y Lopez had the greatest difficulty
in inducing the commander OF the
submarine to allow him to continue
the voyage. The submarine COM
mander wanted to sink the liner be
cause she was carrying a number of
cars consigned to the Spanish
Northern railroad, which is partly
French owned.
The sinking of the Spanish steam
er Mar Caspio makes the third such
occurrence in less than four weeks.
Ian. 2S a German submarine sank
the Spanish steamer Giralda and
Feb. IS the Spanish steamer Cefe-
rino was destroyed by a u boat,

CamoufIaging Our Conscience

who has made big sacrifice for the
sake OF her country.
Now in many cases the buying bf
this number of bonds, even the pur-
chase of single bond, has meant
zeal sacrifice. But Mrs. Jones
knew in her heart that she had
bought these bonds simply because
the investment was a convenient
and safe one.
Again, Mrs. Smith loses no op-
portunity to tell you that she is just
finishing her eleventh sweater, and
as for helmets and mutflers-well,
she has lost count of the number
she has knitted.
Now, OF course, Mrs. Smith can
justly be proud of such record.
But as it happened, it required no
sacrifice whatsoever. She has plen-
ty Of leisure and she enjoyed knit
ting. Before the war she knitted
bright colored sweaters. The only
difference the war has made to her
is that now she knits with khaki
colored and navy blue yarn.
And what are you doing for the
war " Someone asks pretty young
Bettina, who lives in a small town
near 4 cantonment.
"Oh, ! help to cheer up the sol
diers," Bettina replies. I'VE give
dances for them every Wednesday
night at the club and on Sunday
evening they drop into the church
for a supper and entertainment.
eyes, indeed, the girl Uho is not
willing to sacrifice everything ior
her country is a Stacker" Bettina
agrees.
And she really does not perceive
that what she is doing has not re-
quired the slightest sacrifice on her
part. In fact she sometimes won
dets how she ever managed to get
along with just the stupid home
BOYS" before the war.
These are only few examples of
people who are camoulaging their
conscience.
Now all the things mentioned are
in themselves worth while, but un-
less the doing of them requires real
sacrifice, we are slackers.
The time has passed when we can
be content with just doing our bit.
We must do our all" And there
is one thing in the province of all,
that no matter what else we are do
ing for the country, we must do.
This is to save food.
Now whatever way you look at
it, saving food means sacrifice.
For those who have been in the
habit OF oyercating, it means a great
deal to do with less food now. There
are some of US who all our lives
have been in the custom of having
bacon every morning, meat twice a
day, wheat bread at all meals, and
thick layers of sugar on our fruit
and cereal. To do without these
things now means more of sacri-
fee than we had at first thought
when we signed the food pledge.
And it takes extra planning and
care for the housekeeper to use
other cereals instead of wheat, and
less meat, fats and sugar in her
cooking. Yes, saving food means a
personal sacrifice not made once,
but three times a day. Yes, saving

STEAMER LINES WANT
COTTON RATE RAISED

Washington, Feb. 22-Increases
ranging up to so per cent in some
cases in rates on cotton from South
Atlantic and Gulf ports to New
York and Boston were asked of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
today by the Mallory and Clyde

The United States commissioner

the federal court in New York a
mere statement of personal feelings
does not constitute violation of the
espionage act, but that intent to
cause disloyalty in others must be
shown.

A Sure---Sure Thing

While l am drilling out this big we'll on
the Okmulgee lease in the field of big
gushers, | expect to get hold of several
valuable leases in the shallow field belt
and drill several shallow wells. We can
drill six or eight wells in the shallow field
for about the same amount the big Okmul-
gee well will cost. l intend to drill these
shallow wells-one on each lease of about
sixty or eighty acres-where we have
about three chances out of five of getting
from 25 to rs barrels of oil. 1t only takes
about week or ten days to drill one of
these wells. The flush production from
we'll should pay for the drilling of same
and leave practically 100 per cent profit
from the sale of oil in the first thirty or
sixty days. The drilling in of these wells
would make our company more permanent
and sure Of success. And quick action can
be expected from them. The Shirt-Sleeve
Oil company is out to get the oil-it's pol
icy is to drill in, and near, production; to
operate in both the deep and shallow
fields. actually believe that by follow
ing out this policy, the company would
be in position to pay dividends to its stock
holders even before the big Okmulgee well
has been completed.

HUFF WANTED MONEY
TO RETRIEVE FORTUNE

Poteau, Okla, Feb. 23.-John f
Huff, who was shot and wounded at
Wister, Okla, while trying to es-
cape from the Wister Bank with
about $1,5O0 after having locked the
cashier and several customers in the
vault, confessed to the authorities
here yesterday that he robbed the
bank in an endeavor to recoup the
losses his wife's estate had suffered
through his spending. Huff said his
wife, a Choctaw Indian, told him
she would leave him unless he Sc
cured enough to replace that which
he had spent.

MUST WIN THE WAR"
BISHOP LAWRENCE
II We Are in the Right Work Is Laid
Out for Us, He
Says.

Boston. April 17.-"The work Of
the church OF Christ last and always
is to throw its whole strength into
Winning the war" This was the key
note of the 25th convention address
delivered by Right Rev. William Law
renee, bishop of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Massachusetts at
Trinity church today
''There is no half way measure" he
said. eff we doubt or deny the
Righteousness of this country in en-
tering the war; then the quicker we
drop our arms the better, we should
be out of it. for it is a horrible bus
mess. But if we believe that justice,
humanity and civilization are at stake,
il we know that it is our duty to de-
fend our country from marauders,
then our work is laid out for us to
fight with all our might.
abstinence from alcoholic drink
is as necessary for us as for the SOL
der. More than this, If the law pro-
hibits the sale of liquor to the SOL
dier why should it not prohibit the
sale of liquor to the citizen? If the
prohibition Of drink Is laid on the
soldier for efficiency, it must also
be laid upon us all; else we are
slackers. We have a civilization to
sustain as we'll as to save"

LLOYD GEORGE FIRM
FOR DRAFT MEASURE
No Analogy Between Ireland and
Early American Colonies
CARSON FOR CONSCRIPTlON
Unionists Discuss Bill and Consider
Situation GraVe-NationaIiSts Leave
Premier Not Alarmed by Retreat.

London, April 16.-In defending
the man power bill in the house Of
commons before it's passage on third
reading today Premier Lloyd George
declared fair analogy could not be
drawn between the application of the
bill to Ireland and the attempt to
tax the American colonies against
their will because in the latter case
it was a matter of taxation without
representation and no other measure
of self-government was claimed by
any responsible body representing
Ireland in the house. The premier
asked if it had ever been contended
that the question bearing on organi-
zation of the army and navy and de-
fense of the empire should be en-
trusted to any parliament except the
imperial parliament.
Regarding the claim that Irish
consent should be obtained, the same
argument, he said, could be applied
to Wales or Scotland. He added that
both conscription and the home rule
bill must be taken on their merits
Ireland, after the report handed in
by the Irish convention, expected the
government would do something and
American opinion supported Irish
CONSUMPTION provided Ireland was Of
fered self government. This was
considered the best means Of carrying
on the war and Great Britain, with
Ireland included, must make ready
to meet the new contingent of $780,
600 men Germany had called to the
colors
Concerning the situation in F1an-
ders, he said the British, although
giving up territory, had lost nothing
vital Gen. Plummer was quite con-
fident as was Gen. Foch. He de-
c1ared the British army was still in
the way of the enemy, adding the
French army was intact and the
American army is coming across the
seas. He urged the country to stand
together firmly and steadfastly.
Carson Supports Conscription.
Sir Edward Carson, Ulster leader,
said he would continue to support the
man power bill, adding:
Gwen If you put Ulster in a subor-
dinate position to the rest Of Ireland
with which 1t is now threatened, and
If you put me under a government Of
nationalists or Sim Fein I support it
because no more detestable domina-
ton could be put over the world than
that Of the Germans
