BE ON JOB
WEDNESDAY

That Chickasha is to sec a real
live battle tank of the type that
he-ped steam-roll the Germans out
of France and Belgium, was further
assured this morning when tele.
gram was received here from Hon.
Scout Ferris, who is travelling with
the tank special in the interests of
the Victory loan.
The telegram from MY Ferris
stated that the sreoia tank train
with exh Bit and with Liberty loan
speakers aboard VII be in Chicka-
sha early Wednesday morning, Just
what the exhibit consists of has not
been announced, but it is doubtless
a war relic collection, it was pointed
cut.
The tank special will arrive here
from El Reno at ! o'clock Wadnes-
day morning and will leave over the
Santa Re for Purcell, according to
first announcements. Arrangements
will be made and probably an
nounced tomorrow of the specials
location for exhibit purposes here
1t will probably be parked in a con
venent place on the Rock Island
tracks and the tank may make a trip
through the main stem.

Rerlin, April 20, via Paris, April
2l.-The German peace delegates
are going to Paris confidently ex-
pectlng to wreck the allies peace
machine.
This is plainly evident today in
the statement by the Berlin press
as well as the attitude of the for
eign office. The delegation is ex-
pected to leave Tuesday.
Some reports have been crcu.
lated to the effect that the govern.
ment will hold plebiscita to de-
eide whether the allied terms will
be accepted The Germans plan to
employ the same tactics that
brought America into the war two
years ago.
The foreign office theory is that
the allies win not call Germans
bluff if the delegates announce their
determination to refuse to sign the
peace terms prepared by the allies,
the diplomatic figure that the allies
cannot and will not retaliate effac-
lively if the Germnas balk.
Count Won Bernstorff, former am
bassador to the United States. and
others who figured in 1917 are en-
trusted BY the now republic with the
job Of handling the situation Their
design and policies are unchanged
from those who directed the policies
before the revolution
we believe that the peace terms
as reported from Paris are just en-
tente propaganda forwarded for the
purpose CT preparing Germany for
the hardest possible peace, so that
we may be able to appreciate the
actual terms" a momher of the for.
ogn office told the United Press' to-
day. 1T is clever peace propaganda,
but We see through it
1t is reported that the Germans
plan to tear the peace terms to
pieces and make counter proposals.
The German ideas are to threaten
to turn bolshevih if the allies stand
pat on the terms as outlined The
foreign office expects to frightenythe
allies into believing that Germany
win pay no indemnity if the FhoI-
sheyiki gains control Tf
This is purely bluff because the
foreign office has nothing to do with
bclshevism in Germany. Most of the
people favor accepting any peace
that is offered, but the foreign Of
flee is willing to endanger the en-
tire people for the sake Of reviving
independence" The radicals who
would probably overthrow the gov.
ernment in case Of a refusal to
sign, would sign any terms and
then make the capitalists pay the
war bill

Delay Hill and Williams Wells
Disappointing But Field Ac-
tivity Marked by Much
Work.
WILLIAMS ON SAND;
HILL HAS TROUBLE
Work on Boilers Delays Game
Field Due for Thorough
Testing from One End
to the Other.

Taking into consideration the
glowing prospects of week ago,
the past week in the Cement field
has proved somewhat of a dlsap-
pointment in that the Williams
well on the Kunsmuller farm in the
NE Of the SW of 1860 was ex-
pected to be securely landed as a
producer ere this and there were
those who had the Hill we'll in the
Sc of the Sc Of $3.50 booked for
production before this date.
Neither we'll is apparently any
nearer to entering the class of pro
ducers that it was week ago,
with the exception that much nec-
egsary-.morll has been dors on both.
At the Williams well they are un-
derreaming the eight inch to set it
on the sand and at the Hill they
are shut down with boiler trouble.
The fact that neither well has beer
brought in during the past week
does not mean that they will not be
brought in. Their chances for pro
ductlon are as bright as ever.
Much Work Going On.
While the fraternity lis little
disappointed at the delay on the
Hill and Williams wells there is
encouragement in the fact that
much work is under way from one
end of the field to the other, Many
drills are hammering and grinding
away and more are rigging up.
When the flock of wells now drill
ing hit production depth, the field
is due for a good testing from end

Having two sisters in the West, she
went to Olympia, Wash, and accepted
a position with the state industrial
commission in the Medical Dept,
where she remained seven years. She
was member of several clubs, among
them the Sunset club, of 80 young
ladies who before the war helped poor
and old people by sewing for them.
After the war began, they did patri-
otto work. Being near Camp Lewis,
they embraced the opportunity to
furnish lunches, knitting and comforts
for the soldiers. In fact her patrio-
tism was unbounded perhaps overdo-
ing in her enthusiasm to help others.
About three years ago she was pri-
vileged to take an extensive trip with
her sister, Miss Ida Borrill, to the sea
shore and the mountains. A great
lover of nature, she derived much
