(BY UNITED PRESS)
Washington, Jan. 1.—One thousand
dead as a result of the Guatemala
City earthquake of Dec. 29th, was the
estimate furnished the state depart-
ment today in a cablegram from the
Central and South American Tele-
graph company.
The San Jose manager under date
of December 30 related that he had
just returned from the capital where
he found forty per cent of the houses
demolished, most of the others unin-
habitable, the American legation and
consulate, the postoffice and large
churches wrecked, martial law in ef-
fect, inhabitants quitting the city up-
on the president's order and terrific
shocks continuing at five minute in-
tervals. '
Much of the region between Guate-
mala City and San Jose on the Pa
cific seventy five miles away have
been devastated, the embassy report
stated. All lines of communication in
land from San Jose have been severed
and only meager scraps of informa-
tion have been received by Don Joa-
quin Mendez, Guatemala minister
here.
Railroads into Guatemala City have
been demolished and couriers have
been dispatched from San Jose to ob
tain definite news of the disaster.
Guatemala City has more than 150,-
000 population Senior Mendez said and
if preliminary reports are true, the
suffering among the thousands made
homeless must be acute.
Red Cross authorities have been ap-
pealed to and are prepared to take
Team of good gentle black mares,
in good order, about 1100 pounds each
for $150 for both. A fine young Jersey
cow, just fresh, for $60. Six head of
full-blood Jersey Duroc Gilts, weigh-
ing about 100 pounds each. About
forty Rhode Island Reda and White
Leghorn young hens, $1.00 each
$11.00 per dozen. 150-egg incubator,
practically new For further particu-1 charge of relief work as quickly as
lars inquire at Transcript -Enterprise supplies can be rushed there from
office.
—By announcement in this issue,
the Oklahoma Gas and Electric com-
pany gives notice of the appointment
of a local man as manager of its
plant and business in Norman, Mr.
Frank Carder taking the place of Mr.
W. Porter Jones, resigned, effective
today (January 1st). The Transcript-
Enterprise congratulates both Mr.
Carder and the company, the former
because he is given a fine position,
and the latter that it evidently appre-
ciates the services of an efficient
man. Mr. Carder has a thorough
grasp of the business, is courteous
and pleasing to patrons, and we fee'
sure the company will never regret
giving him the deserved promotion

A NEW YEAR GREETING:
THE period of the first week of the New Year might
truly be called the retrospective week of the year,
and a backward glance suggests to us that we are
indebted to our many customers for a successful year of
business, the best that we have ever enjoyed.
The patronage that has come to us during 1917 has,
we can assure you, been very much appreciated, and as
we look forward to the coming of the New Year, we sin-
cerely ask for the opportunity to continue to serve you
during the year 1918 more liberally, if you will, than it
has been our pleasure to do heretofore.
With the Season's Compliments and our Best Wishes
for every joy and happiness of the New Year.
We are yours to please,

THE RED GROSS FLAG
Every nation has a flag. The whole
orld is represented by the Red Cross
flag. Next to the stars and stripes,
the Red Cross flag stands nearer the
hearts of the people.
It is an emblem known in almost
every home. It blends the thoughts of
mankind together as no other flag in
the world. Wherever disease and fam-
ine are found, the Red Cross flag is
flying there. Where the midnight sun
casts its fading glow of light on fields
of snow, down under the sun in
Southern seas, the Red Cross flag is
familiar to all. The sight of that flag
brings back hope to starving children.
It paints the cheeks of pale-faced
mothers the color of the rose. Famine
leaves the field when the flag of the
Red Cross arrives.
We love that flag for what it means,
and will stand by that flag for what it
does. The Red Cross flag follows Old
Glory, and Old Glory is engraved upon
the heart and mind of every loyal
person. Teach the children to love the
Red Cross flag, the women to admire
it and the men to defend it.
Out on the Eastern slopes of town,
over the Oklahoma State Hospital a
Red Cross flag is flying, the proudest
and most resplendent flag in Norman
it is painted with glory, and is one
hundred per cent pure. It has on it
every attendants name from Dr. Grif-
fins up. When is such loyalty shown
to the cause of the Red Cross more
than the Oklahoma State Hospital
shows ?
This flag like the Star of the East
ill guide men to it. Long may it
wave.
The needs of the Red Cross never
ends. Get ready for the next drive.
Stand by the Red Cross flag as long
as the war lasts.
