Governor Williams
Urges Subscription;
624 From State Die

Governor II. l. Williams last night
addressed the following telegram to
The World in urging subscriptions
to the united war fund campaign:
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov ID
Figures just compiled show that
young men from this state have sao-
rifiCed their lives in the great war.
Undoubtedly 5000 more have suf-
fered wounds. In addition to this,
more thousands still have been i'm
paired in health.
All OF Qklahoma's young mon who
entered the service have lost All
their business opportunities for the
length OF the war and for a few
wears thereafter They will come
home not one dollar better of than
when they went, and will have as a
rule TO find new opportunities. How
much money have you made while
they were away? Think about the
amount you have made and the sac
1fico Of these boys. Then complete
your subscription to the united war
work campaign, and be sure that it
is OF such size that you can look in
the face those young men who do
come back and be not ashamed OF
yourselves. Be sure you can have as
good an opinion of yourselves as you
have of them.

by resolution to commit the pro-
posed Pan American federation Of

from custody working men now con
fined TO the jails OF the United

full fire from President Gompcrs and
