COMPANY
GUARDSMEN
FOR GRADY

Grady county has been designated
as one of the counties in the state to
raise company for the Oklahoma
National Guard, according to mes
sage received from Col Harry w
Fcntecost, commander of the regi-
ment by V. II. Hulen of the Council
Of Defense.
Enlistments will be open to all men
between the ages of is and 40. Draft
men will be accepted but it will not
make them exempt from call to the
national army. Recruiting will start
at once and the offices of the Coun-
Gil of Defense located on the third
floor of the Federal building will be
used as recruiting offices.
"The plan is to put this enlistment
over at once" said Mr. Hulen this
morning. "This organization, the Ma
tional guard, will in no way take the
place or affect the organization
known as the Home Guard. Plans
in detail cannot be announced today
but will follow shortly. I want every
one who is interested in giving the
kaiser a good walloping in short or
der, to come up and talk to me.
will gladly give them all information
relative to the proposition. Oklaho-
ma is doing her part and am sure
Grady county will come up to the ex-
pectations of Col. Pentecost. He at
least thought so, else Grady county
would not have been designated as
one of the counties in the state to
raise company in the National
Guard of this state"

are scheduled to entrain tomorrow af
ternoon for Camp Travis, Tex, where
they will learn the best and most ef
ficient manner in which to dispose
of the Boche.
Reube Carl Glover, who for some
time has been in Alamagorda, New
Mexico, wired S. c. Durbin, secretary
OF the local exemption board that he

car, in order to be here at roll call.
Mr.. Glover learned that if he was in.

among strangers, he is burning up
the road and considerable gasoline
between here and New Mexico. Mr..
Iurbin expected him to arrive today.
Just how many men will assemble
this afternoon, was practically inn
possible to state this morning for the
reason that a number have moved
out Of the county, and all have not
been checked up by letter or wire.
The orders of the department call
for total of ten men. The number

leo.
The exemption board is doing ev-
possible to complete its work
as to classification this month. In
this respect Mr. Durbin said today,
1--WE have received much valuable
assistance from the teachers of this
county in listing the occupations of
the men under the questionable.
However it seems that there has
been some misunderstanding, The
teachers seem to think that their
work is finished. We would appre-
ciate their help until the close of the
work The request that the teachers
help out in this work was made by
President Wilson. 1t not only helps
the local exemption boards, but the
men as well for the classification of
the men as to occupations, makes it
possible for them to engage in army
work along lines for which they are
best fitted"
Three men from Chickasha have
lust entered the service of Uncle
Sam by individual induction. They
we're sent to Camp Doniphan. They
are James Elton Watkins, George
Clifford White and Harold Edward
Pinkham.

BIG DRIVE
AROUSINC
AMERICANS
Special to the Express.

Special to the Express
Muskogee, Okla, March 2S.-The
German drive on the western front
is arousing the American people to
the need Of making greater sacrifices.
That is shown in reports of increas-
ed sales of War Savings Stamps in
Oklahoma during the past three days.
Indications are that the people are
aroused to a realization of the seri-
BUSINESS of the conflict and are be-
coming really awakaned to the need
of lending their money to the gov
ernment.
The National War Savings Com
nlittee for Oklahoma has sent out an
appeal to all county chairmen. urging
renewed efforts in behalf of the War
Savings campaign, calling upon them
to impress the people with the Rnowl-
edge that America must respond with
all its energy to crush the German
war god
1t is apparent from reports cover
ing every section of the state that
the American people generally are
acquiring and practicing
the habit of thrift.

WAR STAMP
BANK OPEN
IN ALTUS

Vim. H. Donahue, chairman of the
Fifth Oklahoma district in the third
Liberty loan drive, returned this
morning from Altus where yesterday
he witnessed the opening of the AL
tus War Savings bank
"It was without a doubt the most
patriotic meeting I have ever seen, .
said Mr.. Donahue. "That is, the spir-
it of patriotism was more forcibly
shown. War Savings Stamps were
sold at auction. One hundred dollars
worth of the stamps sold as high as
$3.50 at auction. / saw $1,000 worth,
maturity value, sell for something
like $1100. The amounts above par,
went to the Red Cross. A big Liber-
ty Bell was conveniently stationed
near the auction sale. Every time
the auctloneer knocked downsa bunch
OF the baby Bonds to purchaser,
they rang the Liberty Bell and cussed
the kaiser. They have a dandy little
bank located on one of the principal
streets. A military band was there
from Camp Doniphan, Hon. B. M.
Parmenter made an address that set
them on fire"
Mr.. Donahue also made an address
rectiting some of the atrocities COM
mitted by the Germans and reading
from a reproduction of documentary
evidence taken from captured prison
ers and from German records found
in evacuated towns,

"He is a gross, obese, gluttonous,
elephantine, slowwitted man, more
fitted for a butchers slaughter-house
than the command of an army-a
man who eats enormously, drinks
prodigiously, and derives all of his
inspiration from his henchman Lu-
dendorff."
On the other hand he is "a tanned
Wodin, a smiling, gray-haired Sieg-
fried. The more attentively one stu
dies him the more evident becomes
the fact that one is standing in a
mighty presence. The man must be
seen in all the overwhelming gran
deur of his personality. It is symbol
ical of all that is lofty and noble in
the men Of the Germanic race. Since
the days of Bismarck no head of
such power as his has been met with
in Germany. On his head, in the
midst of his gray hair, Hindenburg
has a patch of beautiful auburn
which no pitcure of his has as yet
reproduced. 1t is as though one con-
templated a weird combination of
that which is good and that which is
demoniac."
