Slusher said:
Everybody is not only invited, but
urged to be present at the meeting.
We changed the meeting place from
the court house to the First Baptist
church because we wanted more
room. Now I want to see the church
filled to capacity. This is going to
be one of the best meetings ever held
in Oklahoma not only from the stand
point of patriotism but because 1t
win be interesting and instructive.
Through the efforts of Mr. Donahue,
district chairman, and myself, we
will have two speakers who have
been on the battle front. They are
Sergeant Edward, who has fought
with the British and Miss Dorothy
Brooks, aviatrix, who has served on
the western battle front.
"Mr. Young is one OF the ablest
speakers have ever heard. He
knows NE methods and plans to be
used by the government in putting
over the next Liberty loan and he
will tell the people about it He has
given up his business entirely and is
devoting his entire time to war
work.
Sergeant Edwards is the only sur
viving officer OF that famous regi-
ment the "Princess Pats" The reg
iment wrote its name indelibly on the
pages of history in the charge up
vimy Ridge. The entire regiment
entered the charge. Only few men
returned to the British lines. They
we're cut to pieces by the German
machine gun, rifle and cannon fire
and were horribly gassed. Sergeant
Edwards was the only officer to re
turn. He will tell of the regimen
and the memorable charge and in ad
dition will give an idea Of what the
actual battle line resembles.
Miss Brooks is a Belgian and al
aviatrix who knows the war game
having served as dispatch bearer OF
the western front. She will give al
idea of some of the things the Be-
gium women are doing to help driv
the German hordes from the strickei
country.
