WOMAN'S HOME MISSIONARY
SOCIETY MEETS THURSDAY
The Woman's Home Missionary So-
ciety of the Oklahoma City district,
will meet at the Methodist Episcopal
church, in Norman, on November 21
and 22, Thursday and Friday.
This is the eleventh annual meet-
ing of this district society. The first
program will open Thursday morning
promptly at 10:30 o'clcok.
The public and especially all church
workers, are cordially invited to at-
tend the meetings.
The signing of the armistice did
not undo the havoc of war. There is
still a tremendous task ahead of Am-
erica and the patriotic cooperation of
every citizen is needed.
YANKS WERE WITH THEM
An article was given publicity
some time ago concerning a conver-
sation between a Frenchman and a
captured Hun. The substance of the
conversation was, that the Germans
had "Gott mit uns" engraved on their
helmets, swords, guns, etc. and the
Frenchman wanted to know if God
was with them why were they losing
the war. The German replied that
although God was with them the
French had the Yanks with them, and
that was the reason the Germans were
losing the war.
In a list of citations given by our i
government a few days ago, eight Ok
lahomans were given the cross of
honor (not the iron cross), which is
given to American soldiers for brav-
ery.
When reading of the noble deeds of
daring of these American boys we do
not wonder that the Germans began
their retreat and were never able to
check themselves after the marines
let loose their first "war-whoops" at1
the memorable battle of Chateau
Thierry.
When a "green soldier" like some
of the boys who left this state less
than a year ago, can go into the front
line trenches and clean out the ma-
chine guns, killing or capturing men,
go into the dugouts and capture doz-
ens of Germans, single-handed, it is
almost enougii to take the "heart''
out of a bravo person, much less the
treacherous Hun.
