terian Synod About Polit-
ical Conditions.

An earnest plea for a. square deal
fur loyal Oerman-Amerleans waa the
feature of Rev. C. C. Welth's uddress
before the Presbyterian synod of Ok-
lahnma yesterday on the anniversary

Himself a native of Germany with
many dose relatives In the old coun-
try' and hla only son an enlisted ao.
dier In the I'nitwd Htates army (not
waiting to le drafted) Mr. Wellh oc-
cupied a peculiar position na he ap-
peared before tho aynod but hla tin-
questioned patriotism and the evident
sincerity of hla word quickly won
him the sympathy of hla audience.
He begged that the loyal tlerman-
Amcrlcnna of this country be not
Judged by the seditious and disloyal
acta of a few declaring that the great
body of Oermun-Amerleuns are as de-
voted to their adopted country aa any
man born under the Stars and Stripes.
Pe-cribcs Political Conditions.
Mr. Welth begun his addrcaa with a
description of political conditions ex-
istent In (lertnany which brought about
tho reformation and after discussing
th reforms that followed and the
tremendous effect they had on Chris-
tiunity thruout the world dwelt par-
ticularly on the reformation's effect
cu America.
It was in the closing part of his
speech that he made the eloquent ap-
peal for Justice to his fellow Uurman-
Ainerlcune Aid more waa unanimously chosen
aa the meeting place of the next
"nod.
Another Interesting speech that
held the close attention of the synod
wa that of Alvln Campbell an at-
torney of Iawton who told of the
work the Presbyterlon church of that
city 1 doing among the soldier boys
at Fort Sill and Camp Doniphan. -
Two important new buildings for

lr. It. J. Iamb secretary and treas-
urer reported that'Mie of the trus-
tees who did not wlHh his name pub-
lished had given a downtown lot
valued at $8000 for a fine arts de-
paitment of the college provided the
latter would raise the funds necessary
to the construction of the building.
It is to be located within two blocks
of the new h'.?h school building and
Doctor Ianib stated that a campaign
v III be launched shortly to raise $15-
00U for the building.
Library and Museum.
The other Improvement will be" a
library and museum to be built on the
college campus. Doctor Lamb report-
ed that a well-known Oklahoma wo-
man who owns the largest private col-
lection of Indian relics and curious In
the United States has volunteered to
contribute htr entire ooll--clon if 'he
college and tne public will erect the
building.
Tho suggestion wji favorably re-
ceived by the synod and a campaign
for funds with which to obtain the li-
brary and museum will be launched at
an early date.
Hcorti of committees consumed
most of the sessions yesterday. Hev.
Duncan McDuer of Norman made an
earnest plea for a better rresbyterian
church in his town the site of the state
university.
One of the Impressive and solemn
features of tke afternoon session wns

fallen soldiers of the cross who had
closed their bibles and made their
final reports to the Moderator of the
universe. v
Pro vine Speaks.

ered an intensely interesting talk on
mission work in the Islands since he
went there in 1899

tions to a close this afternoon and the

sue our duties as we have tried to do
In a conscientious manner if the de-
cisions of the district board are to be

Uncle Sam Can Boast World's Best
Destroyer Fieet Within 18 Months
Wonderful Speed and Super'
lor Seaworthy Qualities
In A'cip Chasers.
WASHINGTON. Oct 8. Such re-
markable progress hits been made In
the quick building of the immense
flotilla of American destroyers to cope
with the submarine campaign that the
navy department now Is assured of
much quicker delivery of the ships
than was contemplated at the last es-
timate which itself was far ahead of
the original time. -Progress on the
ships now building and arrangement j
for others to follow It was said today
nt lh. nuw HAitBrlni.tit arA minh thilt I
the American navy will load the
world with its destroyers within 18
months.
It is now certuin that all destroyers
now building will be delivered ready
for duty in European waters early
next year. Many of them -had not
been expected until the winter of
1918. Approximately ten months has
been saved.
The full success of the project how-
ever depends on the extraordinary
powers granted to the president in
the bill now pending. The administra-
tion measure was altered in the house.
The senate committee restored the
provisions naval officers consider vital
to success and It Is now in conference.
All new destroyers are of a new de-
sign worked out by the navy depart-
ment and showing radical changes
from any of these craft now alnat.
The great majority of them will be
35-knot vessels of Improved sea-keeping
qualities adding to their .effec-
tiveness as submarine hunters. The
first of the new type has been tried
out with results that amazed the of-
ficers who made the trial trips.
The rate of warship production In
the Unjted States has been increased
to such a point that a greater amount
of fighting tonnage is being produced
in a given time than has ever been
achieved before by any power.

MONEY STOLEN SAYS
SECRETARY OF STATE
Accuses Present Game Warden
of Serious Offense; Let
. ter to Howard.
World Cii.lul BiirMU.
Hi 2 imi. hell Hnildlnr
OKLAHOMA CITY. Oct. S. 'I ha..
George Smith present state game war-
den and Governor Williams are per-
mitting the state's money to be iien
for political purposes Is chsrgod In
a letter from Secretary of State J.
L. Lyon to State Auditor E. B. How-
ard made public here today.
The letter refers to the auditor's
action in honoring the "game ranger"
warrants over Icon's protest it fol-
lows In parti
"I noticed you have honored the
'game range warrants. I shall marfu
no further protest; however I con-
alder you have misconstrued an Hp
prcprlnttcn.
"The 1913 legislature abolished dep-
uty game wardens and threw this
burden on each county making earn
sheriff and deputy sheriff a gam
warden and making vlt his duty to
enforce the law as to game. We nave
no legislative act since that date creat-
ing any positions In the game depart-
ment and the governor has had
printed in the session laws of 1917 his
disapproval of appropriations made
wher the office or position was not
created by the legislature. This was
done In several of his disapprovals
found In the session laws of the mil
legislature.
History of Fund.
"On the date of July 1. 1915 there
was to the credit of the game protec-
tion fund $66868. During tho lauu
part of the year 1916 there was trans-
ferred Into the game protection mnd
l.'O.OOO .and the 1917 legislature ap-
propriated 394197 replacing til
money that they had borrowed mak-
ing a totnl of $21 1065. September 1
1917 the state treasurer's books only
show a credit to tho game protection
fund of $8294 showing a deprecia-
tion in the game protection fund from
July 1 1915 to .September 1 iKlt
of $202771."
Lyon thon goes on to accuse George
Smith of having permitted between
$15000 and $20000 to be stolen from
the citizens of the state while he was
secretary of the school land commis-
sion and swearing that money was in
the state treasury when It was In a
private bank.
Very Utile Ioft.
"The way this &me fund. Is now
being spent for political purposes
rather than for the benefit of gann
protection" the letter continues niw
citizens will not have very much left
In this fund at the end of this ad-
ministration. "I am writing you this letter for
the purpose of explaining to you that
I think it Is the duty of the sheriff
and deputy sheriffs to attend to this
work and how disgusting it Is to mo
to see a state official play polities
and pay political debt with state
funds."
