NAVAL OFFICER
SAYS AMERICAN SUBMARINE
CHASERS WILL BE GIVEN
CHANCE TO SHOW
THEIR ABILITY.

Aberdeen, June 5.-American sub
marine chasers are able to cope with
the submarine on this side of
the water, is the opinion of Quarter
master Sunderland, veteran naval Of
ficer, who is in charge of the naval
recruiting station here.
Submarine operating in our wa
ters are at least 5000 miles from
home" he said. They are working
under the disadvantage of knowing
that the minute anything goes wrong
they are lost.
"Since we entered the war we have
built large numbers of submarine
chasers whose very purpose is just
this kind of work. The minute a sub
marine would dare to show its head
above water in our home waters
where these chasers are stationed,
Just that minute would it be in the
most serious danger of being sunk.
lin a fight a submarine would
stand no chance whatsoever with
these small swift boats of the sea.
Many are only ITO feet long, but they
carry large enough guns to destroy
the largest submarine that Germany
has.
ITO the American youth of today
this should be a strong inducement to
join the navy. Men enlisting now
stand a fine chance of being placed
on fast submarine chasers, where
they will be given a real chance to
serve their country"

indian WOMAN
BIDS FAREWELL TO WHITE BOY
OFF TO WAR.

Miller, June s. - With tears
streaming down her swarthy face,
she grasped the boys hand and in
the cultural language of her race she
babe him farewell and G~od-speed on
his mission to fight for liberty. And
the boy, a rugged specimen Of border
youth, answered in her own language
with a CHEEKY smile and a friendly
handshake.
She was only a squaw, dressed in
a colored skirt too long for the mod
ern style, and a red shawl about her
shoulders, with her straight black
hair pressed smoothly down upon a
bare head, and her feet encased in
the primitive moccassin of the Sioux
Indian.
But she stood in the line with hun
dreds of white people who were
shaking hands in a last farewell to
the 43 drafted men of Hand county.
In the row Of soon-to-be soldiers was
one su~n-tanned boy of the prairies, a
cowboy to the border born who had
spent his life in the saddle near the
Indian reservation that touches the
southwest corner of this county.
Their farewell and momentary com
munion in the Sioux language was a
touching bit Of human interest to
those who saw 1t.
The boy vas Elmen Enger, whose
father was a government employee at
Fort Thompson when the boy was a
barefoot youngster playing about the
government buildings with the In
dian children. The squaw was q
friend of this youth who had helped
to take care of the lad and taught
him her language. She came to bid
him goodbye with the w~holehearted
sincerity Of her undemonstrative race
and 1t Is safe to say that her mem
DRY of that boys farewell will remain
with her long after others have for
gotten.

DON'T CASH
W.S.S.SAYS
COMMITTEE
Seek to Discourage Practice of
Cashing Stamps; Should Be
Stopped at Once Say
Officials.

MUSKOGEE, Dec. 19.-An appeal
has been issue dto all w s S. work
ers in Oklahoma by the State War
Savings committee asking that dras-
tic steps be taken in every city and
town in the state in order to check
the cashing in of War Savings
Stamps, which practice, according to
accounts is increasing in several To-
calities The Oklahoma War Say
ings committee authorized the fol
lowing statement:
There seems to be something Of
run on certain postoffices in the
state on the part Of citizens to cash
their War Savings stamps. This
practice, which should be stopped at
once, undoubtedly arises from a
misapprehension as to the date Of
the maturity of the stamps. Many
especially those of foreign birth,
have gained the impression that the
1918 stamps mature on December 81
of this year. This is entirely wrong,
as sthe date of maturity is Janu-
airy 1, 1928
Every War Savings stamp cashed
at the present time now represents
a loss of n cents in interest over
the amount which would be secured
if they were held until maturity. In
addition those who cash stamps un-
knowingly work an injustice on the
resources of Uncle Sam. The gov
ernment is required to pay cash out
of its treasury for all stamps re-
deemed now, thereby diverting from
the channels which are required to
feed and clothe our soldiers who
yet remain in the service.
