the forces of autocracy and demot

struggle. And a part of that second
death struggle would have to be
fought out on American soil, the
granary ol the world.
This is no time to falter. We can
go ahead now and carry the war into
Germany, or Germany later will carry
the war into America.
There is too much ill-timed talk
about peace.

"One Whcatless Day a Week" are

Kaiser Warned America
"America had better look out after
this war. 1 wil stand no foolishness
from them then." Kaiser Wilhelm
made the statement to tin American
ambassador. The "foolishness" he
had reference to was our protest
against the murder ol helpless women
and children ou board the l.usitauia
and our demands th.it Germany re
sped our rights. If the submarines
had accomplished what Germany e\
pected of them, those in authoritv
agree that daily paper headlines in
Oklahoma would now be telling ol
the landing of Prussian troops on
American soil, with tile pillaging,
ravaging and murder that Prussian
troops have taken to Belgium, Poland
and France.
E. W. Marland to the Rescue
"With every other state in the
union trying to do its share in sue
cessfully carrying on this war, the
financial condition ol your state coun-
cil is a disgrace to Oklahoma. Your
committee in undoubtedly doing good
work and deserves the support ot ev
ery loyal citizen of this state. In-
closed find my check for $1,000"
The letter, with the enclosed
check, came from E W. Marland,
Ponca Citv oil man. It came when
additional funds were absolutely nee
essary for the work.
Due to the fact that the legislature
was not in session when war was de-
clared, Oklahoma has no appropria-
tion for carrying on the organi/.atiou
w ork ot the war. Appropriations of
from $25,000 to $5,000,000 were made
wherever legislatures were in ses
sion. Governor Williams will rcconi-
mend. that those who advance funds
for the Okahoma council be reim-
bursed by the next legislature.
