LITTLE HOPE FOR

WASHINGTON July 25. There
will he little chance for Colonel Hoy
Hoffman to be appointed brigadier-
general according to the Ironclad
plans of the war department and Sec-
retary Maker which provide that none
hut regular army officers shall he ap-
pointed to any placo higher than that
of lieutenant-colonel.
More than one hundred and fifty
generals are needed Immediately and
as the selection Is delayed the war
department Is being flooded with
recommendations for appointments
from the guard and from civil life.
The creation of political generals will
bo resisted by tho wur department
whose policy of efficiency and no fa-
voritism has virtually the force of a
pledge to the American people.
It Is said In Washington that the
war department Is toduy free from
politics and the wives and mothers
of men who have been railed by the
draft may rest easy In the assurance
that their husbands and sons are not

to ho sacrificed by the tragedies of
the civil wur due to politics.
Wcxt Piflnt Man Turned bewit
A competent soldier from Massa-
chusetts who has been hern urging
nis appointment as a major-general to
command a division has not found
himself an exception under this
policy of efficiency. He was a former
member of congress where he was a
member of the military affairs com-
mittee; Is now commanding the homo
guards of Massachusetts; is a graduate
of West Point and served with dis-
tinction as an officer In the Kpanlsh-
Amorlcan war. He Is strongly In-
dorsed by four governors and a num-
ber of senators and congressmen. He
has almost every qualification ns a
military leader the same as Colonel
Hoy Hoffman but his appointment
would bo considered a precedent for
opening the door of preferment for
others less fitted than himself.
Forty majyr-gcneruls nnd 120
brigadier-generals are needed right
now to take charge of tho drafted
army that will be mobilized In the
18 cantonments and 16 "tented cities"
by September 1.
Under the plans of eliminating poli-
tics there will be no swivel-chaired
generals or lieutenant-generals or bu-
reaucrats. Advancement will be
gauged by action In the face of the

Ict Hoy Hoffman go to France as
he will as colonel nnd let the oppor-
tunity arise and there Is no doubt he
will win his stars; provided of course
the war department docs not place an
eternal ban on advancing nr.y others
than regular army officer". That
would be straining the thing a little
too far and would sm irk of a mili-
tary oligarchy distasteful to us ami
would tend to Injure discipline and

HOSPITAL SUPPLIES
TO COME NEXT WEEK
Red Cross Workroom in Need
of 100 Shipping Boxes; New
Classes Being Formed.
An urgent nppeal Is sent out by Mrs.
A. W. Coleman in charge of thu Jted
Cross workroom unking that ull
finished garments be turned Into tho
workroom by the first of next week
and that the women who lire sewing
on these garments havo them laun-
drled before turning them in. A fore-
cast of a call for hospital supplies to
go forward on tho first of August
rather than on the lat as had been
heretofore planned has neon received
at the workroom and it Is In the an-
ticipation of such a call that Mrs.
Coleman now makes her request.
Also there Is bndly needed one hun-
dred pine boxes In which to ship tho
supplies The llass Furniture com-
pany has donated boxing material
sufficient to make one hundred boxes
5x2x2 feet nnd now If some kind
carpenter or doctor or lawyer or poli-
tician who "carpenters" ns an uvoca-
tlon will step forwanl all will be se-
rene according to Mrs. Coleman. So
far only two boxes have been made
and Mrs. Coleman thinks that perhaps
women ure more dependable when It
comes to donating labor than men ure
for the supplies they have miula at
tho library nro ninny nn.d perfect.
After the supplies are packed and
all ready to go forward the covers
will be left off and tho workroom
will have open house one afternoon
and evening so that the citizens of
Tuisa mnv see exactly what Is being
accomplished by the workroom. "It
will open some peoples' eyes" said
K. Rogers Kemp cxecutlvo chairman
of the Tulsa chapter on his last trip
of Inspeclon to the workroom.
Two new classes In home nursing
KI
are being organised One clnss will
meet nt 10 o'clock on Monday and
Thursday mornings nnd those wishing
to Join should do so nt once. A night
class will be organized to meet nt
7:. '10 on Wednesday nnd Friday
evenings. A class In first nld Is be-
ing organised to meet on Wednesday
and Friday afternoons.
The business girls' classes are mak-
ing comfort kits lor tho members of
the local ambulance company. These

WASHIXCTDN July 28. I'ongress-
inan W. II. Hastings of Muskogee will
start a movement to have a duplicate
of the statu'.o of Sequoyah which re-
cently was unveiled In tho national
capltol erected on tho grounds of the
old Cherokee national capltol at Tahlo-
iiunh. This ground and the buildings
thereon lire now tho properly of
Cherokee county having been pur-
clmKod from the Cherokee nation for a
courthouse site.
These grounds are of extreme his-
toric value as much of the history of
the C'herokees after moving to tho In-
dian territory was made there. It was
on these grounds that tho Cherokee
Advocate a paper published In the
Cherokee language and primed with
the alphabet which Hciiuoyah Invented.
There could be nothing more npproprl-
ale chosen for the state of Oklahoma
in the way of a statute thi.n that of
Sequoyah; and ceralnly it shout I lie
placed somewhere on theso historic
grounds.
The statute of Sequoyah ns It stands
now in tho national hall of fame In
Washington would cost :rlglnally more
than 1 0.00(1. but It Is believed that a
duplicate can be secured for approxi-
mately $3000. Mr. Hastings has made
no effort so far to further the scheme
but It Is (hot his plans provide for an
appropriation by the commissioners of
Cherokee county for a part of tho cost
nml personal subscription for tho bal-
ance. The movement should be encouraged
especially by all members of the
Cher ikee tribe and particularly by the
residents of Tuhlequuh and Cherokee
county.

It Is Still in Your

Catarrh ia not only a dis

gerous one and you should
never let up in your efforts
to get it out of your system
until you have done it thor
oughly. Get rid of it what-
ever it costs you in trouble and
money.
It is undoubtedly true that
the careless way in which
many people treat Catarrh in
its early stages especially in
is one reason it is so preva-
lent among all classes of peo-
ple. If you had taken hold of
the "supposed cold" and cured
it up promptly you might
have been spared your present
suffering.
