Information has been received in
this city that the soldier-hero from
"over there" who is one of the num-
ber that is helping Oklahoma to put
over the Liberty loan drive, and who
was scheduled to speak in this city
today, will probably he in Drumright
Friday and will speak that afternoon
at 3 o'clock at the Strand theater.
The young man was expected here
today, but late yesterday the Fourth
Liberty loan campaign committee of
Drumright was informed that he was
held up at Sapulpa on account of ill-
ness. News today is that he is re-
cuperating rapidly and that he will
be here Friday.
The identity of the young soldier
is unknown, but it js thought that,
possibly, he is Allen Payne, one of
the 'thin red line of heroes" who
stopped the German rush at Chateau
Thierry, who is here to help the folks
put over the greatest liberty loan
drive.
Payne was wounded in five places
while rushing a German "pill box"
in a counter attack that was a part of
the American rush which hurried
back the German armies from Paris.
Payne was one of the first Americans
to land in France. Ho took part in
the fight to stop the Austrians in
Italy and was rushed back to France
to help stem the German drive.
Besides his wounds Payne proudly
wears the Pershing silver star, the
emblem of honor awarded by General
Pershing to the first division men who
stopped the Germans.

SHAMROCK MAN PLACED UNDER
$8,000 BOND ON A CHARGE OF
CRIMINALLY ASSAULTING GIRL
SENSATIONAL DETAILS DE-
VELOP AT PRELIMINARY
HEARING OF CLARK
L. A. ('lark, an oil field worker at
Shamrock, charged with a statutory
crime, was placed under a bond of
$8,000 by Justice of the Peace L. A. I
Slusser at Shamrock yesterday after-
noon. Clark, who has been in the
Drumright jail since his arrest sev-
eral days ago, was immediately taken
to Sapulpa and placed in jail, having
failed to give the necessary bond.
The hearing at Shamrock created
considerable interest and there were
a large number of people who henr.l
the case. The case against Clerk
was prosecuted by Assistant County
Attorney Walter F. Speakman of
Drumright and his brother, Fred, an
attorney of Sapulpa.
The evidence that was produced in
the court was sensational in the ex-
treme, Clark having been charged
with seducing his own step-daughter,
a girl of 12 or 14 years of age.
The girl testified Hint Clark com-
mitted a criminal assault on her, as
she was going from pcn'c srounds
to her home, and that he dragged her
for a considerable distance and then
carried her under his arin to a lonely
spot near woods.
Clark is a man of 50 years of ag^
or more and has heretofore borne a
good reputation at Shamrock. He will
be given his trial on a charge of r^ppn
at the next term of the Drumright
division of supeiior court.

WAR DEPARTMENT AGAIN IS
ASKING FOR PICTURES
OF HUN TOWNS
(By Associated Press.)
New York, Oct. 1.—Old picture
cards and photographs of France or
Belgium of any of the terirtory now
occupied by the Germans are needed
by the war department. Written de-
an open letter written by William
Guggenheim, chairman of the army
and navy committee of the American
Defense society to the American peo-
ple. This letter which is written at
the request of Major A. C. Campbell,
of the Military intelligence branch of
the war department, reads:
"I urge patriotic Americans to for-
ward any picture post cards, photo-
graphs and prints of any of the towns
and of the country now occupied by
the Germans in Belgium and northern
France to the American Defense So-
ciety at 44 East 23rd street, New
York City, from where they will be
sent to the war department, as they
will be of value to our officers abroad
who can familiarize themselves with
the appearance of localities toward
which they are advancing which will
undoubtedly be a distinct aid in mili-
tary operations.
•I especially urge people who have
travelled abroad and who have col-
lected postal cards to carefully sort
these with a view to their being used
by the wa rdepartment. Written de-
scription of the territory already
mentioned will be of considerable
value."

SOCIALIST TELLS
OF GERMAN GAME
IN THE REICHSTAG
GERMANY IS WAGING A WAR OF
CONQUEST, SAYS AN INDE-
PENDENT SOCIALIST
(By Associated Pr*« .)
New York, Oct. 1 -Germany is
wagin® a "war of conquest'' and its
victims "have been enslaved and ex-
ploited," Deputy Geyer, independent
socialist, asserted recently in a reich-
stag speech, according to the Cologne
Gazette.
"This has never been a defensive
war,'' Geyer said; "it was and is a
war of conquest.
"The imperial government," he
continued, "is favoring the annexa-
tionists. Russia and Rumania have
been forced to sign a peace of force.
The peoples which were to be freed
have been enslaved and exploited.
"The government thus far has not
submitted any clear peace program
and has not proclaimed the rinht of
Return to independence, and po-
litical, military and economic integ-
I ri?v
"Thus the war goes on and the end
is not in sight. Profiteering and lust
of conquest tire holding nauseating
orgies while the people are suffering
from want of food. More than ever
it is imperative that all peoples free
themselves from the forced domina-
tion of militarism.
"Proleterians of all countries unite!
DOWN with the war."

STATE CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS IN
MESSAGE TO PEOPLE URGES
CO-OPERATION
(Special to Daily Derrick.)
Oklahoma City, Oct. 1.—Propagan-
da against the Fourth Liberty loan
has been discovered in Oklahoma, but
in the opinion of the litate committee
will prove unavailing. This is to the
effect that bank deposits of indi-
viduals will he used as a basis on
which to fix individual quotas of citi-
zens in Oklahoma for the Fourth Lib-
erty loan.
"It is too palpably false and ridicu-
lous to be given credence among
thinking people," declared L. E. Phil-
lips, state chairman of the Liberty
loan committee, today. He scouted
the idea that this rumor would have
any effect on the loan.
"This state of affairs has doubtless
been reached in countries controlled
by Prussian militarism, but we are not
nor will we ever be, reduced to such
straights in America," he said. "This
is either the insidious invention of
some shallow-brained person or it is
an error which grew out of the fact
that in determining the country's
quotas, which have already been an-
nounced and accepted in Oklahoma,
the bank deposits of a county as a
whole were taken as a basis for fixing
the quota of that county. In some lo-
calities in the state depositors, fear-
ing this report might be true, have
gono so far as to withdraw their de-
posits which were immediately re-
turned, however, upon the depositor
learning the truth.
"This is a campaign in which an
honest advisory hoard will determine
what each man should pay and the
man's own conscience will do the rest.
Oklahoma will go over the top with a
rush and no eleventh hour propaganda
can deter the American people in
their determination to forever bury
the murderous Hun."

tion are expected to be in attendance.
