FINISHING

any person or firm who have cinders
to donate phone them at once.
President Austin of the O. C. W. in

fctates that If more donations are nec-
essary he Is more than willing to do
his part. Additional donations receiv

PLANNING TO
START BAND
J. A. Sager the well known Minco
musclan is planning to organize a
band in Chickasha. "I believe the
Chickasha musicians are ready for it J
and that conditions are now favorable
to launching a first-class organization
here" said he. "I expect to call a
meeting of the musicians in the near
future and seo what can be done
about it
.Mr. Sager is an "all 'round" musi-
cian and has had much experience as
a band letrfer. He is now teaching a
number of private pupils here and has
quite a large orchestra at the college.
My Idea is that Chickasha can have
. band second to none in the state if
the citizens are willing to give a rea-
sonable amount of support to the en-
terprise. There is plenty of talent
here and some first class material in
the smaller towns of the county would
also be available. Most of tho older
musicians have already expressed a
willingness to enter into the organiza
tion and In addition to these we can
build up a second line of the younger
clement. I to no rciion why Chick-
asha should not have a band that will
be equal to the best."

British Opinion.
By United Press.
London May 11. Though some in-
sist that war is the only thing com-
patible with American honor in the
Lusitania case the press and public
generally are inclined to let America
take its own course in the matter.
It Is pointed out that the army and
navy dificulties of and the German-
American population complicate the
situation for the United tSates.
The Unionists are urging parliament
to adopt conscription in order to over-
whelm Germany.
The London Times says: "We shall
say nothing which may seem to In-
tensify the heavy and perplexing re-
sponsibility resting upon President
Wilson and his colleagues. No at-
tempt at direct action should such a
course be considered could have any
very material effect on the situation."
Swiss Call It Piracy.

premeditated act or piracy. The cup
has overflowed."

Corrects Conclusions
Drawn by Press
CABINET HOLDS A
LONG SESSION
Nothing to Give Out Till All Factt
are Received - Will Make
American Position Plain
to Germany
By United Press.
Washington May 11 In his week-
ly conference with the newspaper men
this morning President Wilson stat
ed that he did not Intend to outline a
policy in his Philadelphia speech last
night.
The president said: his utterances in
this speech were merely his personal
expression to those who were gather
ed to hear him.
The speech was interpreted by a
portion of the press and by some who
heard it as meaning a peace policy in
regard to tho Lusitania affair.
The president says he will have
nothing more to say in regard to the
matter until all the facts are receiv
ed. He said he had nothing to add to
his statement that he realizes that
the country is expecting him to act
with deliberation and firmness.
The president promises that the
American position will be made plain
to Germany as soon as all the neces-'
sary information is at hand. He de-
nied that he had an engagement to see
the German ambassador and Indicated
that he was not intending to see him
at present.
Ambassador Bernstorff today hand
ed to Secretary .Bryan Germany's of-
ficial expression of regret at the loss
of American lives on the Lusitania.
Bryan also received another note
from the U. S. ambassador at Berlin
but he declined to give out the con
tents of it. The cabinet held an un-
usually long session today and it is
presumed that the Lusitania Incident
was one of the main topics of discus
sion.
There is continued discussion here
of the suggestion that the United
States sever diplomatic relations with
Germany without a declaration of war.
In this connection however it has
been pointed out that such a course
would have a serious effect upon
humanitarian work the United States
has been conducting throughout the
war. Whatever is done it is believed
probably will be prefaced1 by an ex-
change of notes with the German gov
ernment.
The calling of an extra session of
congress so far as can be learned does
not seem to be a part of the president's
lan of proceedure. Senator Stone
chairman of the foreign relations coni-
mlttee who called at the executive
offices said he questioned whether
any reason had been presented for
calling an extra session. He explain-
ed however that he had not consult-
ed the president. Messages continue
to pour into the White House from
all parts of the country expressing
confidence in the president and urg-
ing him to pursue various courses.
Considerable discussion developed
in official circles over the attitude
taken in Germany that the people of
the United States were warned by the
German government against going to
Europe on belligerent ships. Secre-
tary Bryan when asked about thia
phase of the matter and whether any
warning had been given to the Ameri-
cans from the state department said:
"I think I had bolter go no further
than to say that the warning was
given." He added that the German
government never called the depart-
ment's attention to the warning ad-
vertisement which the German em-
bassy inserted in American newspa-
pers. Fear that the fate of the Lusitania
might be shared by her sister ships
has caused a number of the neutral
missions here to withhold the regular
diplomatic mail report to their govern-
ments until the sailing of ships which
fly neutral flags. When questioned
by their nationals many Of the foreign
representatives are advising against
the use or British vessels as a means
of travel.
