TIRES OF LIFE
IN ARMY BUT IS
CAUGHT BY COPS

According to the police, Private
Philip Gibbons, tired of the life of
soldier, came to Chickasha this
morning from his post at Camp Bowie
Texas. He was preparing his en-
trance into civilian life, and had pur-
chased suit from one of the local
clothing stores.
Everything went well until Police
man L. Howard and Traffic Officer
Moody, became suspicious of the man
who wore the army shoes and a 60
ernment-made shirt and when arrest
ed he made a complete confession.
He had hid his soldier uniform under
the Rock Island water tank, where
it was found by Policeman Howard.
Gibbons is being held in the city
Jail and will probably be placed in
the custody of officers at Ft. Sill

Special to the Express.
Washington, Oct 17.-Peace talk
is dangerous. America has just be-
gun to fight. Recent developments
prove to. the country that the con-
dition Of the enemy is ripe for a
great knockout campaign. The whole
effort of the government is now be-
ing turned toward keeping up the
fighting.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping
board is sending an appeal to the
workers in shipyards and to commu-
mites from which shipyards workers
must come, emphasizing the import
ance of doubling their efforts now.
No ship worker will make the error
of thinking for moment that the
war is nearly over" Hurley says
America has just begun to fight
In the coming months our long prep
aration on the battle line and in the
shipyards will yield results
"These workers know the need
for continued record breaking. Ev-
cry ton of shipping delivered now IS
needed to carry our brothers to
France Every ton ladnched now
means force to the utmost to really
win the war next spring.
DO not go by the war maps that
still need a lot of changing The
enemy still needs a lot of licking
Tonnage will win the war and bring
permanent peace"

DEMANDS MADE
ON RED CROSS
ARE ENORMOUS
Bulletin from Headquarters Indi-

That future quotas of the loca

is the indication in a late commu
nication received from headquarters
by the Grady county chapter in the
important items" bulletin. Some
of the enormous demands made OF
the Red Cross are mentioned in the
communication, which is " follows:
Colonel Gibson, commissioner to
France, has cabled for 100000 sweat
ers and all of the wooden socks
available for immediate shipment tC
France. National headquarters has
saeregorS, requisitioneG, throdgh the
Bureau Of Stores, $4,000 sweaters
from our stock on hand in the st
Louis warehouse, and something
more than $4,000 pairs of wool socks,
the total quantity on hand. This
leaves us short for equipment of
men in cantonments in this coun-
try, but of course, the men actual
ly in the trenches need these warm
things more desperately than do the
men in this country We have been
accommodating stocks of sweaters and
socks in the various division ware
houses in anticipation of the win
ter's needs for the men in this coun-
try. Now that the more imperative
call takes most of these abroad it
is up to your chapters to replace
them by an extra spurt in knitting
sweaters and socks to the full ex-
tent of available yarn The division
office realizes the yarn shortage and
is doing everything possible to fur
nish yarn to chapters who need it,
Meanwhile many chapters have yarn
on hand and are especially urged to
complete their knitting and forward
to st. Louis all sweaters and socks
as rapidly as possible.-George w
Simmons, Manager
The tremendous scale on which
the American Red Cross is now op

The work of the community labor
board in the roundup of idlers for
war work in Chickasha, and accord
ing to statement given out at the
office of the board this morning will
continue undated until all are en-
gagged in industries classed as es-

Y In this work, the community boaru
Mas asked the cooperation OF the
public in general, pointing out that
it is impossible for any man to know
all the idlers in any community, but
that no ider can escape the scrutiny
Of some individual living in his com
munity. The plan Of the board is
for any individual having informa-
ton that anyone known to them is
an idler, to report said alleged idler
to the community board Immedi-
ately, the car will be taken up and
investigated If the findings of the
board are that he facts in the case
are as reported, the man will be
placed in some essential work.
This is the only way we can ever
get the field thoroughly covered
said a community board member to-
day. IF the people will cooperate
and report idlers to us, we can make
an absolute cleanup and do justice
to everyone. Without the co-opera-
ton of the public, it will be impossi-
BILE for us to do thorough work. The
police are doing all they can, but
even the peace officers cannot know
all the idlers."
