DRIVE TO RAISE
BUILDING FUNDS
Hearty Approval Given Program in
which Chckasha and Grady Coun-
ty are Asked to Give $4,000
to School,

AT the special meeting Of the com
mittee and managers OF the St Jo-
seph's academy $4,000 fund raising
campaign held at the headquarters,
room ZIG First National bank Bldg,
reports were given as to the pro
gress Of the activities to date.
Several communications from indi-
yiduals and societies of a congratu-
latory and helpful nature regarding
the subject we're read. Among them
was read set of resolutions from
Chickasha Council Knights Of Col,
umbus No 9G5.
The resolution of endorsement fol-
lows:
"The sisters in charge Of the man
agement of st. Joseph's sschool in
order to meet the ever INCREASING
demand Of the general public for
admittance of their boys and girls
as students of their school, have de-
cided to erect and build on the pres
ent site of their frame school build
ing, a modern brick building thor
oughly equipped
ITO complete such building in
the face of the enormous high cost
OF building material, labor and every
thing incident to its construction,
they have found the limited means
at their command inadequate. have
decided to appeal to the public Of
Chickasha and Grady county for Fl.
nancial assistance to the extent OF
$4,000 to complete the project.
Such an institution as is conduct
ed by the sisters, open to the public
and especially those desiring a Chris
tian education and training for their
children, fills a great want in these
times of wild, reckless and extrava
giant living, especially Of our young
people. 1t will add to Cdckasha as
an educational center and no doubt
aid in her greater development.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Chickasha Council Knights of Col
umbus, always ready to advance the
cause of education and promote the
development of any institution or
industry that will add to the re-
sources or attraction of our city
heartily approve and endorse the
appeal the sisters are to make and
assure them every possible assis-
tance towards the accomplishment
Of their undertaking.

lincing personality was the cause of
much scorn by the military clique.
The revolution and the fall of the
Ebert government will force the fol-
lowing problems on the allies; To
force the new government to adhere
to the terms of the treaty. To Sc
cure stronger guarantees from Hol-
land that the former kaiser will be
given no chance to escape. To force
the new government to adhere to
the allies decision that Germany
will be required to punish her own
subjects guilty of war crimes.
Today's successful coup is the re-
suit Of careful preparation through
the means Of distributing propagan-
da among the masses and careful
work among the officers of the. ar
my.
Tie radical and industrial out
breaks which occurred some time
ago gave the plotters their first
chance. At the time of the Sparta
can outbreaks the Pan-Germans did
everything possible to embarrass the
Ebert government and continued
their practices when the allies de-
manded the war guilty of Germany.
The issuance of the lists brought
forth a storm of indignation from
every circle and the Ebert govern
ment practically told the allies that
The surrender of the war guilty for
trial would mean its downfall.
An allied investigation supported
the statement and consent was Civ
on for the trials to be held in Licp

patch from Carl Groat, United Press
correspondent today confirmed the
rews agency dispatch that the Ebert
government is overthrown. The Ber-
lin dispatch failed to mention the
revolutionary troops and stated that
the revolution was peaceful.

selves in readiness for any emergen-
cy
It is known that Dr.. Knapp, who was

tion. AS head of the powerful Faith

cred a staunch advocate of the res
toration of a monarchy.

with the activities of the Pan-Ger'
r1anists, which group is strongly
backing General Won Hindenburg for
president. Hindenburg is reported
to have accepted the offer to be
come a candidate for the presidency
The fall of the Ebert government
may be fraught with the most far
reaching consequences.

every effort to insure the security
Of the Ebert faction by publicly de
claring that any change would b'
sure to endanger the treaty of Yer
