mob of the French revolution. 1t was
disgusting, abhorrent, repulsive to
see that mob at work.
About 6 months later-during the
may First Demonstrations met the
same mob in one of the magnificent
bathrooms OF the Winter Palace.
There was something quite different
written on those faces. There was
ecstacy and expectation. These peo-

with red banners, singing songs of
freedom, brotherhood and the Inter-

cessfully disposed of, the newly ap

Committee met for the first time and
completed organization.
The action OF the State Executive
Committee and nominees for state
offices in recommending Hugh NJ
johnson of Oklahoma City for chair
man Of the State Campaign Commit
tee and George F. Clark, of Chand-
Ter, for Secretary. was ratified.
L. S. Russell, of Atoka, was elected

OF Oklahoma City Director Of Or
ganization and j. A. Barber, of Mus
kogee, Director of the Speakers Blu
reau.
w e. Brown, of Tulsa, was Sc
lected as Treasurer OF the commit
tee.
The keynote of the meeting was
the recognition that war work su-
perceded politics and that no politi-
cal speeches are to be delivered m-
til the Liberty Loan drive is sue
cessfully completed
In fact, an economical campaign,
whereby the funds usually expend-
ed in campaign work could be di-
verted to war activities instead, was
endorsed.
The suggestion that Judge J. b.

that the campaign be brief and eco

given to the necessities of the pend
ing war relief work, will be carried
out literally.

MOB SURRENDERS
TO MIGHTY MUSIC

tBy Joseph Shaplen, United Press
Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. Revolutions
are as capricious as a pretty woman.
They can throw a people into costa
cies of JOY and fits of despair. They
bring out the mobiles and basest in
man. That is just exactly what the
Russian revolution has done to the
Russian people.
When one arrived in Petrograd last
January he found mobs of civilians
and soldiery smashing and robbing
wine cellars and getting beastly
drunk The unkindest cut of all
dealt by the revolution to the old
court camarilla, l suppose, must have
been the looting of tn ewonderful
wine cellars of the winter palace.
They were wild, dangerous mobs that
worked in Petrograd in those Decem-
Der and January days. They showed
particular preference for wine and
champagne stored by the Romanoffs
for the entertainment of the Raspu-
tins. But that would not have been
half so bad. The Bolsheviki handled
the mobs of this score quite easily,
although in one case, ] remember,
there were no less than 1876 calls for
help received at Cmolny at one day,
the day when the wine cellar smash
ing beat all records.
1t was on that day, however, that
the mob turned from the smashing
of wine callers to the smashing of the

Hats Off to Joe Casey

Rotund Joe Casey, Griff's emergency
backstop, is making good with a ven-
geance- The veteran yesterday garner
ed three hits in four times up, two of
them being factors in the scoring of
runs. He was removed after his third
waliop had filled the bases in the ninth
to let Ainsmith run for him. Eddie
caught the final frame, thus maintain
ing his record of having taken part in
every game played by the Nationals
this year.
Eddie Foster kept up his good work
at third. getting two hits in four at
tempts, scoring run himself and driv-
ing in Shanks with the tally that won
the game by a sacrifice fly in the tenth.
Foster also fielded his position fault
lessly. several of his chances being
difficult.
Ruth had some luck in compiling his
fifth straight hit in the tenth. Judge
was set to snare the bounder when it
took a hop over his head and far to his
on it. Ruth was cut down in artistic
style when he tried to pilfer third.
however. Ainsmith's peg being true
and Fosters touch deft.
Johnson deserved credit for the vic
tory, which makes his record for wins
and losses even at four apiece He en-
tered the contest by batting for Ayers
in the ninth and poking a sacrifice fly
to Whiteman that scored Morgan with
the tying run, and would have retired
the Sox in order in the tenth but for
that lucky bound Ruth's drive took.
Casey had Hoblitzell pegged out "a
mile" when he attempted to steal in the
second.
