THIRD TEUTON OFFENSIVE NOW

Germany has 200 divisions and it is
estimated that there are slightly un
der 95 divisions on the east front
This shows that Hindenburg has in
creased his armies by nearly 40 di
visions. This increase was possible
by recruiting new classes of younger
men and combining them with other
classes, by reducing the sizes of tho
divisions and by bringing half way
good divisions from the eastern
front There are now about so d.

there were a year ago.

$4,000 DIXIE NURSES
is R. C. QUOTA ASKED
5000 Needed al Once; Balance by Janu-
airy |; Greatest Opportunity Ever
Offered Says Speaker

In a stirring appeal to the people
OF Chickasha and Grady county for
an undivided cooperation toward a
relief OF suffering along the Ameri
can front in France, Dr. George w.
Allison of East St Louis opened the
drlvc here at the Baptist church last
night for the raising Of the southwes-
tern district quota of $500 trained
nurses for immediate service and
pointed the way for more united
prosecution of the war at home The
war and it's close association with
christianity was ono Of the points
emphasized by the speaker rs an is
sue thus far almost ignored by the
American people. With no possihil-
ities for peace in sight and with the
result Of the war hinging entirely
upon the mental attitude OF those
who remain at home, it even consti-
trtc5 an act of treachory to hesitate
in the cheerful performance of duty,
Dr. Allison showed
Christianity in Balance.
81 think it is highly fitting that
meeting of this kind should be held
ia church. If there ever was a
time when Christianity is in the bal
ances it is now" the speaker began
and continuing along the same line
pointed ont that the church faced
determination at the hands of a Di-
vine Right dclusion. "Thcro can be
no poaco with Germany because tha
war has gone too far for us to talk
o. a peaceful settlement; one Of the
cOntending principals must be wiped
out. Germany cannot be trusted to
the signing Of truce. She in
veigled Russia into a separate peace
without annexation and kept 80 per
cent Of the best part of Russia. And
again, a world community spirit pro
hibits peace until autocracy or dem
ocracy topples TO ruin.
"1he real issue of the war as our
boys over there see it is the mental
attitude of the Americans toward
the struggle A poor attitude here
will lower the morale of our fighting
men but the right spirit is the great
est asset we have toward victory
Germany plays upon the sentiment Of
her people by executing great
boasts. If they could have located
and crushed our first little contin-
gent in the trenches their mental at
titudc would have been bolstcrcd
up"
Dixie Nurses Wanted.
Or, Allison finished his address
with an appeal to tho women of the
country to hear the call Of humanity
while the mammoth Rcd Cross nurse
drive is on Before we can think
of victory we must get every man,
every woman and every dollar enlist
ed in the cause. The question is not
how long will it be nor how many
