debato with the suffragists is rc-
turning t-i Tulsa and will address a
meeting at the high school audi-
torluni Ruurday night. Miss Howe
issued a written challenge to the
(suffragettes while in Tulsa last week
to hold joint debate on the suf-
frage oiicstion which they refube
to considj. At hast Miss Howe In-
formed The World over the tele-
phone from Muskogee yesterday
' thct she had received no tnswer to

to Tnlsa and address a public meet-
ing In the high school auditorium
Saturday night to which he public
is InMied both those it favor of

to It. In connection with th an-
nouncement of ;he meeting Satur-
driy nlLrht the following :oinmunica-
llon has been sent to Tno World:
"It does seem a pity that dur'ng
all the present -strides of w ar that
any 'isms' should demand atten-
tion. This truly Is the sentiment of
the enll-suffriigette fcr which rea-
son .hey have devoted their titnf- to
lted Cross 'work as will jainly he
seen by the fact that some of our
most prominent women of Tulsa
who advocate 'antibm' were the ons
wno relly put the last lied Cros
drive through namely Mrs C. Jv
Strouvelle Mrs Karl Sinclair. Mis.
J. II. Hall. Mrs. F. H. (iieer Mrs. XI.
J. llindman and a long list of other
prominent women of Tulsa who arc
opposed to suffrage
"The anti-si:t'fi agettep wnrte mod-
est and conservative hut always
ready :o do the right thing so In-
vited the opponent to a broad opfn
challenge in order to give everyone
a fair chtnee to make the. own de-
cision; as heretofore nit many
home-keepers and Kisy Toothers
have had much time to attend vari-
ous caucuses so their hushamls In
turn i'l order to maintain p.-are
among their friends acquiesced to
the suffnge appeal for the time
hiine and really thought no more
ohout It. Consequently the suffrage
had everything their own way. until
the anti-suffragette realized the
critical state of affairs and what a
disgrace th-ay were Jirlning upon
our bo'-s who would return from
'over there.'
"The antl-guffragettes wish to In-
fluence -io one for any reason hut
the wclfa-e of these hoys their
homes and their families. They
hive no desire to slander anyone
for any public or personal reason
and recrt that the suffrage were
not broad ami big enough in their
cause to meet the nnti-siiffrase in
a Tirr debate In order to edijeaie
the.se who naie gi en the sub led

COUNTRYfSASKED
TO OBSERVE THRIFT
President (alls on All Americans to
Save Materials ami Labor for
War Purposes.
A
WASHINGTON May 29. To
save materials and labor for neces-
sary war purposes President Wilson
today appealed to Americans "to
buy only those things which are es-
rentlal to the Individual health and
efficiency." nnd to volunteer on or
before June 2K national thrift day
to invest systematically In war sav-
ings and thrift stamps or other ov.
ernment securities.
"This war is one of nations--n'ot
of armies" said the president "and
all of our one hundred million peo-
ple must be economically and Indus-
trially adjusted to war conditions If
this nation is to play its full part in
the conflict. Thejrob!em before us
is not prlmartliaa financial proh.
lem but rather a problem of In-
creased production of war essentials
and the saving; of the materials and
the labor necessary for the support
nnd equipment of our army and
navy. Thoughtless expenditures of
money for non-essentials uses up
the labor of men. the products of
the farm mines and factories and
overburdens transportation all of
which must he used to the utmost
and at their best for wsr purposes.
All Must Participate.
"The great results which we seek
can he obtained only by the partici-
pation of every member of the na-
tion young and old in a national
concerted inrirt movement. I there-
fore uree that our people every-
where pledge themselves as suggest-
ed bv the secretary of the treasury
to the practice of thrift; to serve the
government to their utmost In in-
creasing production In all fields nec-
essary to the winning of the war; to
conserve food nnd fuel and useful
materials of every kind;' to devote
their labor only to the most neces-
sary tasks nnd to buy only those
things which are essential to indi-
dual health and efficiency and that
the people ns evidence of their loy.
ally Invest nil that they can sive in
Liberty bonds and war savings
stamps.
"The securities issued by the
treasury department are so many
of them within the reach of every-
one that the door of opportunity in
this matter Is wide open to all of us
To practice thrift in peace times Is
a virtue and brings great benefit to
the individual at all times; with the
desperate need -erf tho civilised world
today for materials and labor with
which to end the war the practice
of Individual thrift Is a patriotic
duty nnd a necessity.
All Miit Practice Feonntny.
"I appeal to all who now awn
either Liberty bonds or war savings
stamps to continue to practice econ-
omy and thrift and to appeal to all
who do not own government securi-
ties to do likewise and purchase them
to the extent of their means. The
man who buys government securi-
ties transfers the purchasing power
of his money In the t'nlted States
government until after this war and
to that same degree does not buy In
competition with the government.
"I earnestly appeal to every man
women and child to pledge them-
selves on or before the :;sth of June
to save constantlv and to hoy ns reg-
ularly fus possible the securities of
the government: and to do this as
far as possible through membership
In war savlmrs societies. The 2Mb of
.lone ends this 'special period .of en-
listment In the great volunteer army
of production and saving here at
home Mav there he none unenlisted
on that day."

WASHINGTON May 1. Govern-
ment war euienses including loans
to the allies will run above 11500.-
000000 this month and set a new
high record for any belligerent na-
tion. Kxpendltures reported today by

ment outlays In the last month have
taken a Jump of more than $300-
000000 above the normal rata in

steadily higher In the next six
months.
Tentative estimates now are that
11 1.000000000 will be spent be-
tween next July 1 the opening of
the new fiscal year and December
31. six months later and the greater
part of this must be raised by the
fourth liberty loan In October oi
November which I'resident Wilson
in his address before congress ex-
plained would be the biggest pop-
ular credit ever offered. In the
next fiscal year Approximately 123-

LONDON May 19. In their
-violent attacke on the thirty-mile
battle front running from Soissons
eastward to the region northwest of .
tinelma the Oerman armies are con-
tlnulng to force back the French
and British on nearly every Motor.
The fortified town of Hoissons. the
extreme left flank of the allied bat
tle line has been occupied by the
enemy although the French are still
holding tenaciously to lt western
environs through which .emerge the
railway lines leading to Paris and
Complegne. 1
According to the German official
communication additional towns and
vantage fiolnU all along the front
have been captured. Beemincly
Rhelms. like Hoissons. also la

ports that the troop ooverlng tha
famous cathedral town which almost
dally for several year ha been tha
target for shells of hate from tha
German guns have been withdrawn
ncntna the Alsne copal northwest of
the town.
On the lector directly southeast of
Soissons the German now are
fighting relatively li miles from
vhere they started their drive Mon-
day from Vauxalllon while further

in the vicinity of Bavlgny wedge
have been driven into a depth of ap-
proximately 19 miles.
Tho Uermans continually' are
throwing fresh divisions Into the bat-

ing Krou1l! only when It Is Impos-

relatively light.
Although unofficial reports havo
mentioned tho rushing up of rein-
forcements from the south there
