Flags Are Flying
Norman has at last "struck her
Hait" and "Old Glory" is very much in
evidence in the business part of town
as well as in the resident portion.
Capt. T. J. Johnson, formerly of
Stonewall Jackson's brigade and a
Confederate verteran who bears the
scars of many battles, with Comrade
E. B. Barnett, who marched with
"Sherman to the Sea" and also took
part in numerous engagements of
. which he, too, bears the scars, raised
the flag in the city park this morning,
and as the folds unfurled to the
breeze the crowd took off their hats
'and paid it silent homage. That flag
(or one similar) will remain up until
the war is over.
The First National bank has a fine
| flair flying from the flagpole on the
| top of its building, and in postoilice,
court house, court house yard and
business houses the colors are being
numerously displayed.
This is right, and there cannot be
too much of it. Every house in town
should show its colors.

Amsterdam, April 12.—Germany
can whip the whole world, the Berlin
Kreuz Zeitung says. In its comment
on the war, it says:
"Thirteen hundred millions of the
world's inhabitants are fighting 70
million Germans. Let the rest of the
earth come as well, we will beat them
all."
Commenting on the breaches with
South American republics, the
Cologne Gazette says the further as-
saults on German trade may be ex-
pected and are unavoidable. It adds:
"The Entente is becoming such a
monstrocity that its hollowness must
soon be apparent. Further accretions
can only be regarded as a tribute to
Germany's gigantic strength."
The Catholic Volks Zeitung, Berlin
under the captain, "Set Your Teeth,"
sorrowfully admits that the whole new
world from Hudson Bay to Cape Horn
seems fated to array itself against
the Central Powers and exhorts Ger-
mans not to lose the true perspective
of things.
The Volks Zeitung also attacks Free
Masonry, which it blames for a large
share in the present war. It says that
"Wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt are
Free Masons and Free Masonry is
rampant in all department* of the
American government."
The American army is held up to
ridicule by Major Moraht, writing in
the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, who jeers
at the idea that America can give any
effective military aid to the Allies.
Major Moraht says:
"The American army is no danger
to Germany. The Civil War cost half
a million lives because neither side
had a trained army. Now Wilson, for-
getful of history, is trying the same
thing, but it will be shown once more
that the braggadocio of his country-
men is in inverse ratio to their fight-
ing value."
At a meeting of the directors of the
Cleveland County Development Co.,
held a day or two ago, E. K. Himes
was appointed to dispose of the ex-
tra acreage, and will go to Tulsa in a
few days to get some of the oil
magnates of that county interested in
Cleveland county. The derrick is up,
ready for the machinery, which will
arrive soon. The money is in the bank
ready to begin operations, and the
company will have sufficient to put the
well down the complete depth. Smith
& Wilson have completed their part
of the contract, but will remain in
Norman, and assist in every way in
developing this and other projects.
The middle of May will see consider-
able activity in the oil line in Cleve-
land county.
Only for the War
—The Transcript acknowledges a
pleasant call from Mr. Henry Wil-
merling of Oklahoma City ,auditor of
the Oklahoma Gas and Electric com-
pany. He is greatly pleased with Nor-
man, with its progressiveness and
promise, and says his company will
certainly do its share in adding to its'
prosperity.

Washington, April 13.—An men en-
listing in the regular army or the na-
tional guard in the present emergency
were assured in an announcement by
Secretary Baker today that they
would be kept in service only for the
period of the war. The action followed
a conference between the secretary
and President Wilson. In effect this
places on a wartime volunteer basis
all the men enlisted since the state of
war was declared. It makes available
a total of 517,868 places in the enlisted
grades of the two services to men who
wish to serve for the war only.
Mr. Baker laid stress on the fact
that this action was contemplated
when the administration bill was
framed and was in no way to be con-
strued as a compromise plan, reached
as a result of opposition to the draft
feature of the bill. It has been em-
phasized that the administration war
army bill is only an emergency meas-
ure.
"I stand firmly and unalterably in
support of that bill," Secretary Baker
said, "without modification of its least
detail."
