"Remember this- The boys in khaki
are not profiteering and there are no
vacations on the fighting front in
France."
This was the closing sentence of
the address of L. E. Phillips, state
chairman of the fourth liberty loan
drive, who spoke Tuesday evening to
a crowd of business men of Norman
and other towns who practically filled
the district courtroom. The meeting
was enthusiastic throughout, and a
spirit of optimism over the results
of the coming campaign was evident.
Mr. Phillips' remark closed a strong
appeal for a better spirit of patriot-
ism in dealing with war matters and
in responding to the calls made upon
the people by the government. He
expresed confidence that the drive 228 Fred T. Harrison, Lexington, R

Ralph Hardie Presides
The meeting opened by Chairman
Clyde Pickard, who introduced Ralph
C. Hardie as the presiding officer. Mr.
Hardie, after a short talk, presented
to the audience Neal O'Sullivan of
Oklahoma City, deputy district chair-
man of the bond organization, and
F. T. Miller, district chairman.
Mr. Miller spoke only briefly and
yielded to Mr. Phillips, who talked
informally for three-quarters of an
hour. Afterward Mr. Hardie ex-
plained the situation on the western
battle front and Mr. Pickard briefly
outlined the plan for the liberty bond
drive to be opened September 28.
NORMAN BOY CHARGED
WITH THEFT OF AUTO
F. E. Taylor Under Arrest in
Oklahoma City on Accusa-
tion of Grand Larceny.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Adair and
Attorney John E. Luttrell went to
Oklahoma City Tuesday to visit Mrs.
Adair's brother, F. E. Taylor, son of
C. H. Taylor, of six miles east of
Norman, who is being held in the Ok-
lahoma City jail charged with steal-
ing an automobile from Clinton Stein-
berg, with carrying a revolver and
with issuing forged checks totalling
more than $400.
Taylor will probably be given a pre-
liminary hearing in police court and
then be put in charge of the county
attorney, since he was arrested on
two grand larceny charges. He was
arrested in a garage Monday night,
in the 700 block on East Sixth street,
and was found to possess a loaded
revolver. It is alleged that Taylor
had been forging checks and negotiat-
ir them with merchants in Oklahoma
City.
Taylor, in explaining his possession
of Steinberg's automobile, said that
he obtained the machine from Ches-
ter Hale of Oklahoma City, who for-
merly lived on the Ten-Mile flat. He
lived at 121 West Fourth street, and
according to the police has been oper-
ating in Oklahoma City about two
weeks. The Oklahoma City police say

WITH THE AMERICAN

have passed from the American

the British.
America's attack in the Lor-
rain sector has brought out two
typically American expressions.
"Over the top" is "the jump

to "H hour,"

NORMAN GIVES 2 abgu 6Wg
The citizens of Norman have fur-
nished $1000 more than they were
asked to raise in the Red Cross drive
which is being made in Cleveland
county, according to a report Wednes-
day to T. E. Clement, chairman of the
campaign committee. Norman was
asked to furnish $6000 but wil furnish
$7000.
The other districts are reporting «.U
the time, /nd about a dozen which
have already reported are doing what
they were asked to do. Mr. Clement
hopes that reports will be received
from all the districts within a day or
two. He requests that all the chair-
men give accounts of what their dis-
tricts have done, as soon as possible.
STATE PRESIDENT TALKS
TO NORMAN WAR MOTHERS
Mrs. Richard L. Drake of Okla-
homa City, state president of the
War Mothers' Association of Amer-
ica, addressed the Norman war moth-
ers on the aims and aspirations of
the society at this week's meeting of
the Norman unit of the association
Monday evening in the Christian
church.
Mrs. H. G. Goodrich gave a very
interesting report of the recent state
convention held in Oklahoma City,
which was attended by a large repre-
sentation of the Norman war moth-
ers. At the meeting in the Christian
church this week a number of ques-
tions of importance were discussed,
and several motions were carried and
new plans adopted. The meeting ad-
journed until the first Thursday in
October.
American, French and British forces are gradually exert-
in}? greater pressure against the Germans in the Woevre and
Picardy sectors.
Unofficial reports from Paris declare the Americans have
made substantial progress northeastward along the valley of the
Rut de Mad, and apparently are striking at the important towns of
Chambley and Gorze. The latter is in German territory, only
seven miles southwest of Metz.
At the same time the French advanced on a front of about ten
miles northeast and east of Verdun, driving a sharp salient into
the German lines in the direction of Etain.
British troops, after capturing the little village of Holnon,
, two and three-quarters miles west of St. Quentin, yesterday even-
j ing, suddenly attacked northwest of St. Quentin this morning.
The scope of this attack was not officially announced.
MAY LEAVE BALTIC PROVINCES
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—Germany gives some indication
j of preparing for a future withdrawal from the Baltic provinces,
j State department advices today related that the Teutons had

j bably chiefly Esthonia and Livonia) with apparent intent of
getting out later.

Space on the second floor in the
S K. McCall dry goods store has
been set aside for the use of the
woman's committee of the council of
defense as an office. This will be a
very great help to the work, accord-
ing to Mrs. E. A. Foster, chairman.
The office will be open soon in or-
der to be ready for the women's work
in the fourth liberty loan campaign,
and for other work done by the wom-
s committee. The office has been
furnished with a desk for Mrs. Fos-
ter, and several chairs for the accom-
modation of those who come in for
information. "I have been very much
handicapped in my work on account
of havine no place for headquarters."
said Mrs. Foster, "but now I am glad
to announce that I will have a con-
venient place to meet the women in-
terested in war work."
BOYS ALL HOUSED
BUT THEY DIDN'T
CARE TO SLUMBER
None of the young men who came
to Norman to join the S. A. T. C. were
obliged to sleep under the blue sky
Wednesday night because they could
not find rooms, but judging from
various noises which disurbed slumb-
ers from 11 to 12 o'clock, some of the
boys were outside, although they were
not asleep.
Where are the freshman red caps?
The freshmen were out in the night
and their paddles were with them, and
were rounding up their tribe accord-
ing to custom, but their red top-knots
were absent. "Freshmen out," was the
wild call given in front of Mmost
j every house near the university, be-
I cause of the fact that large numbers
i of residences are accommodating the
| boys until they are inducted into the
! S A. T. C.
j Although the boys are all housed
now, and Prof. F. W. Padgett says the
committee in charge has a few sur-
plus rooms, the boys are -till coming
and more will be needed.
