LONDON, Oct. ii.-General opinion
here with regard to the German reply
TO President Wilson's note OF inquiry
is summed up in the statement that
there is doubt Of Germany's sincerity.
How do we know Germany is play
ing straight this timer"
what guarantees have we that this
note is not another scrap OF paper?'
These are the queries that the man
on the street is putting.
Military men are most suspicious or
Germanys self-eXpressed surrender"
They believe an armistice without
binding guarantees would be a most
fatal policy while Germany's army stll

Prussian war machine still remains un-
crushed.

PAGES; So Present; All "Stickers;"
Hold Meeting Tonight

There was plenty of pep displayed
last night at the session of the Ma
ticnal guard company at the armory
where SO men reported for duty and
were put through the preliminary
PAGES by Second Lieutenant Wal
lace.
There will be meeting Of the or
ganization tonight promptly at 1880
al the court house, where they will
go over the situation and hear a re-
port by " H. Hulen, organizer, rela-
tive to the definite organization OF
the company. They will then ad-
icurn to the armory, at the corner
OF Chickasha and Fourth street to
continue drilling.
Everyone was immensely pleased
last night with the progress made"
said Mr.. Hulen today. There is a
mighty strong feature in the fact
that everyone of the SO present last
night were stickers. There was not
a single one who was not rearing to
go ! don't believe that one man of
those present last night will lay down
when 1t comes time to be mustered
in, On the other hand they are all
anxious to get the organization per-
fected and get down to the actual
business of learning to be soldier.
$50 anxious We're many of the men
last night that they urged me to get
Col. Harry Penticost to come to
Chickasha tonight and look them
over. Now this will be practically
impossible for the reason that he is
at this time one of the busiest men
in the state. He has calls from ev.
cry section and 1t Is possible that we
cannot get him here this week. How.
ever, l will call him up today and
will tell him just the progress we
have made. If he thinks we are suf,
advanced, | will arrange for
him to come at the earliest moment
possible. | will have this report to
make to the men tonight.
Another feature OF the meeting
last night is that every man there
left with the intention of bringing
another man with him tonight. 1t
was the determination of the origi-
nal members on the job to swell the
attendance to far over 100 tonight
and the bring a man with YOU slo-
gan, was unanimous.

URGE USE
POTATOES
FOR WHEAT

That the food administration is
very anxious that potatoes be substi-
tuted for wheat, in order that the
wheat may be used for our armies and
allies, is evidenced by the fact that

effort to see that spuds are shipped
into sections not supplied

food administrator, received tele-
gram from the office of the state ad-
ministrator in Oklahoma City this

situation here, urging that potatoes
be substituted for wheat, and stat
ing that if there are no potatoes here
at this time, cars will be furnished
for such transportation from the po'
tato raising sections.
The telegram follows; "We want
