REAL CRISIS 10W
"Every Position Must Be Held to the
Last Man," Says Sir Douglass
Haig. "No Retirement."
The most disquieting news of the
war is that of the close of last week.
Saturday's dispatches bring the news
that Sir Douglass Haig says that a
crisis is here, in an address to "all
ranks of the British army in France
and Flanders. He closes a most stir-
ring address with these words: "Ev-
ery position must be held to the last
man. There must be no retirement.
With our backs to'the wall ai^l be-
lieving in the justice of our cause,
each one must fight to the end. The
safety of our homes and the freedom
of mankind depend alike upon the
conduct of each one of us at this
critical moment."
The comments of the war critics are
not less reassuring. Oneof them says
that the wedge that has been driven
near LaBassee and Bethune must go
on through or be the Prussian grave.
Major General F. B. Maurice, chief
director of military operations at the
war office in London said that: "The
situation is undoubtedly unpleasant;
the enemy is in a short distance of
Baiileul, which is an important rail-
way center for feeding our Messines-
Wytschaete front. He is also ad-
vancing in the direction of Haze-
brouck, which is an important rail-
way center." He also said that the
enemy is advancing on a very fiat
and intricate country and has not
gained any dominating position. They
have attacked with seventeen divis-
ions and have lost heavily.
Sir Douglas Haig also says that our
troops have been pushed slowly back
in continuous fighting to positions in
the neighborhood of the Bailloul rail
road, and other places along the line.
The rift .in the dark cloud is found
in the fact that all other portions of
the Ifne'are holding. The part of the
sector where the American troops are
fighting, has some small successes.
THndenburg has stake'd it all on
this throw. He intends to win before
the Americans can be there in force
to change the relative numbers of
troops on each side. He is now at-
tempting the Napoleonic feat of di-
viding the enemy and destroying him
in detail. He may succeed. Such a
little thing sometimes decides the
result of a battle.
Sunday's reports were more en-
couraging than those of Saturday.
The British are holding on and rein-
forcements are coming in with great
rapidity. Sir Douglas Haig's sum-
mons for them to stand and die in
their tracks is being literally carried'
out. The German success, if it can
not be added to, becomes a terrible
danger to them. The^ successes on
other parts of the line gained by the
Allies, and particularly by the Amer-
icans and French, add something to
the encouragement that comes from
the fact that the points of the two dan-
gerous salients are still held against
the Huns. If the next two or three
days show no material losses by the
allies, it may be safely concluded that
the German drive has failed. The
desperate attacks of the whole of
Saturday gave tiiem no gains. The
Monday reports are still better.
While the allies have made no gains,
they have succeeded in bringing in
their reinforcements and are holding
their ground in every part. Sunday
morning, after a night of the most
intense fighting, in which the British,
the Bailleul-Merville sector had re-
pulsed numerous heavy atacks, the
Germans were driven from Robecqu
by determined counter attack. The
dispatches say that today, Sunday,
the Germans were continuing to drive
forward in masses against the de-
fending positions which block their
way to Hazebrouck, with its railway
lines, but at the latest reports the
British lines had not wavered in the
face of the terrific onslaught of su-
perior numbers. While none could
predict the outcome of the terrific
battle now raging, the British position
this morning seemed more firm and
settled than at any period since the
Germans began their onslaughts west
of Armentierres. The entire allied
lige in Belgium and France i3 holding
firm. '
We must now gird ourselves anew
and fight as we never fought. There
is a long and desperate struggle ahead
of us. Three years- of long and des-
perate struggle have been wearing
the allies away. It has diminished
their power and used their resources.
We have given them assistance from
our resources, but now we must come
with our man power and all our re-
sources. We must set ourselves to
the task of winning with a grim re-
solve not to fail. If we fail, the lib-
erties for which our revolutionary
fathers gave their lives, are lost to
us. The clock of the world will have
been set back five generations.
AMERICAN AVIATORS !
DOWN AIRPLANES
On the morning of the 14 th two
German fighting planes were downed
inside the American lines by Lieuten-
ants A. S. Winslow, of Chicago, and
Douglas Campbell, of California.
Each man downed one machine. Both
the enemy aviators were made prison-
era. One of them was slightly wound-
ed. It is believed that Lieutenant
Campbell is the first graduate qf a
strictly American school to bring
down an enemy machine.
The machines, which formed part of
a patrol of five air craft, were brought
down after a six minute engagement.
One of the machines fell in flames,
but the other had received only slight
damage. The French General com-
manding the zone in which the, ma-
chines were shot down, congratulated
the Americans on their "beautiful ex-
ploit" Both lieutenants were award-
ed the war cross.

Treatment of Wife When Attempt
is Made to Leave the Home.
A RESOLUTION.
By the Hospital Committee of the Ok-
lahoma Convention of Mennonites,
in session March 27, 1918, Meno,
Oklahoma.
Among other resolutions (to make
inquiries about cost of a hospital, lo-
cation, sisters, etc.) the most import-
ant one we consider to be the follow-
ing one, which we resolved to pub-
lish at this time, to help urge the mat-
ter:
Resolved: That our committee pro-
pose at next convention, in fall 1918,
that a hospital be built right soon, so
that we can in it receive wounded or
otherwise sick U. S. soldiers that
may be sent home from the battlefield.
This is one of the greatest services
we can render our country, In grati-
tude for grant ixi" • .. ligious freedom,
and we hope will a i ways grant, to the
extent of satisfying all.
J. B. Epp, Sec. of Com.
You can buy coal 15 cents a ton
cheaper in April than In May.
Oscar Bush, who lives four miles
north and three miles west of Bessie,
is in the county jail .awaiting trial
for the mistreatment of his wife. Fri-
day afternoon a telephone message to
the sheriff's office, took Deputy L. R.
Strong to the Bush home, where he
j found the wife in an unconscious
state, her face badly beaten and cov-
ered with blood and dirt.
After an altercation, Mrs. Bush an-
nounced her intention of leaving the
family hearth and to take up he!'
abode at the home of her father, a
few miles distant. She left the house,
but was overtaken in the yard by her
husband, who with a blow of his fist
| in the face, knocked her unconscious,
and dragged her into the bouse, leav-
ing her on the floor to come out of it
the best way she could.
One of the children ran to the
school house, and told the teacher,
Mrs. Ivan Wallace, that her mother
had been killed by the father. Mrs.
Wallace went immediately to the
home, and after trying the usual
methods of resuscitation, became con-
vinced that the woman was dead. She
immediately notified the sheriff's of-
fice, stating that she believed that
Bush had killed his wife; upon their
arrival the officers found the woman
conscious, and sufficiently recovered
to tell the story of the quarrel 'and
what followed.
Bush, who was still at home, was
placed under arrest and brought to
Cordell. When arraigned, he pleaded
not guilty and was remanded to jail
in default, of bond.
HEAVIEST RAII FALL
II! SEVERAL
Just When it Was Impossible to go
Longer Without Moisture, J.
Pluvius Turns the Bucket.
This morning the rain guage at the
State National bank registered a
downfall of an inch and two-tenths. A
pretty good April shower. It came
down in such a manner that practic-
ally all was absorbed by mother earth
as it fell.
From as many reports as are ob-
tainable, the rain was general all
over the state and south into Texas,
varying somewhat as to quantity.
Wheat in this section was needing
rain badly, but will now take a start
that will surprise the natives. Gar-
dens that have just been holding their
Own, will begin to produce eatables in
a week or ten days.
IN CHAUTAUQUA.
Rev. R. S. Satterfield, forme'rly pas-
tor of the local Methodist church, has
taken up Chautauqua work. We not-
ice in the Lawton Constitution of
recent date, where Mr. Satterfield de-
livered the fourth number of the pro-
gram in that city. "Sense and Non-
cense in Love and Marriage," was the
subject of his address, and is spoken
of as follows:
"This was the fourth number of our
chautauqua and the people were very-
much impressed with Rev. Satter-
fieid's great message which was a
mixture of wit and humor throughout.
He had the best of attention and held
the people spell bound for over an
hour. The house was crowded to its
capacity , and it was necessary to put
in a large number of extra seats.
"Rev. Satterfield spoke briefly of his
work among the-soldier boys at Law-
ton, relating some of his experiences
with them. He has the art of keep-
ing the audience a part of the time
in laughter and then he-drives home
some great truth that causes men and
women to aspire to something worfh
while in life.
"After the lecture was over the su-
perintendent of the High school made
a special request for the speaker of
the evening to visit the High school
at chapel nexl morning and speak to
the student body, at which time the
boys and girls gave expression of
their appreciation of the message and
the messenger, inviting him to return
tp our town whenever it is possible
for him to come back."
Most o£ the Cordell folks who visit-
ed Ft. Worth, Texas, during the past
week have returned. Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Gudenoge and Misses Rhea
Gunsenhouser. Elsie Kier and Graham
Williams returned via Clinton and the
jitney Saturday noon. They all re-
port a wonderful time and the army
parade quite thrilling.
WIN THE WAR BY FOOD.
It is aparent that the war gardens
are a vital factor nn the food prob-
lem of the United States. Not only
will they increase the total stock of
food, but they will help tQ relieve lie.
freight congestion. For the more
food that is grown close to the kitcli-
eu door, the nearer every city and
town in the county comes to feeding
itself. Many other advantages and
benefits that come from gardening
might be mentioned—advantages to
both the individual and the nation,
such as the saving of money, the ac-
quisition of the thrift habit, the im-
provement of health consequent upon
outdoor exercise, the improved com-
munity spirit, and the deeper Ameri-
canism which will spring up from this
practical patriotic service. But the
i principal motive which should impfel
J the American home gardener in this
work this year is the thought of in-
creased food production. In winning
the war by food, the home garden will
deserve high honor for its important
part.
It may seem early to begin to talk
about a fall crop of Irish potatoes.
With the exception of bottom ground,
if, we don'e begin to prepare our
ground now for fall potatoes the
chances for failure are at least nine
to one.
Make a survey of your neighoor-
hood and see how many you can
think of who have made a success of
raising a fall or second crop of Irish
potatoes.
A few days ago the writer visited
a farmer in Payne county and the
farmer was preparing his ground for
a fall potato patch. The ground is
ideally located. In the first place it
was on the creek, in a bend, trees are
on the creek bank and on account of
the trees and bend of the creek the
ground is protected from the south
and west winds. This seems to the
writer to be an ideal location. This
one-haif acre has been permitted to
go to waste for the past few years.
Probubly your piece of ground similar
to the abo\^ has not gone to waste
but possibly not used as profitably as
would be in fall potatoes properly
grown.
On account of the remains of grass
and weeds and in order to conserve
moisture' the farmer was double disc-
ing the ground. In a few days he ex-
pected to plow the soil deeply.
The Trish potato for its best growth
and. development requires cool moist
| conditions. The conaitions do not
very frequently exist in July, the us-
ual time for planting the second crop.
In order for the soil to meet these
| requirements it must be kept culti-
vated from spring on.
i So as soon as the soil is plowed a
(soil mulch will be kept on the ground
just us though a crop was growing.
This may be done by means of a disc
;or section tooth (spike tooth) harrow,
just depending on local conditions.
By keeping up the above cultivation
the soil will be moist and fairly cool
when planting time comes.
Do not overlook a single cultivation
after a rain. Keep a mulch on the
| soil at all times.
ADERICANS WIN FIRST
ALL DAY BATTLE
In the struggle of Suturday, the
Americans had their first all day bat-
tle, which resulted in their worsting
the Germans. Two attacks, which
were delivered in force against the
American positions in the sector
northwest of Toul, Were repulsed, the
Germans suffering heavy losses, in-
cuding thirty-six prisoners. The
Americans suffered ony slight losses.
The fighting began with a very hea-
vy bombardment, the first attack
began at six in the morning and was
directed against the French troops
on the left flank of the Americans,
who made a counter attack on the
German line moving forward under a
curtain fire. The enemy was driven
out of the trenches and forced to
fight in the open, where he was sub-
jected to a deadly machine gun fire.
A stubborn resistance was offered,
but later they retreated to their sec-
ond line, hotly pursued by the Ameri-
can troops. Another attack was
made at 11 o'clock at a point further
to the right. The American barage
cut them off, but the officers forced
them into the barage and a few suc-
ceeded in getting through the explod-
ing shells until a few penetrated the
American front line. A counter at-
tack by the American,s drove them
back to their own lines. The battle
continued several hours swaying first
one way and then the other. The re-
sult of the day was that the Huns
were badly worsted The battle con-
tinued as an artillery duel. The
French gave the Americans high
praise.
BIG GUN BOMBARDS AT NIGHT.
Paris, April 14.—The bombardment
of the Paris district by the German
long range gun continued today. One
woman was killed. .
Paris last night was subjected to its
first nocturnal bombardment since
the first long range shelling began,
the bombardment being resumed late
in the night. No casualties had been
reported as the result of the after-
dark Bhelliug up to shortly before
noon today. Yesterday's bombard-
ment did not cause any casualties.
The beginning of nocturnal bom-
bardments is attributed to the fact
that the Germans, now know that the
French have located exactly the long
range gun so that there is no longer
any necessity of refraining from night
time firing lest the flare of the ex-
plosion should betray the gun's posi-
tion.
BlffS IIBERIT BONK:
ED
John Miller, who Threatened Bond
Selling Committee Last Week, Up
for Investigation—Dismissed.
John Miller, living three miles
north and one east of Bessie, was up
before the authorities Thursday after-
noon for investigation of loyalty, and
a charge of disturbing the peace.
The trouble arose when a soliciting
committee visited him last Wednes-
day morning and suggested that he
buy a bond, 'lie refused without argu-
ment, and ordered them off the place,
adding that he would shoot them if
they did not vamoose.
Miller is a man well advanced in
years, with no education, not even
being able to read and write. He
doesn't go about much, and hardly
knew that a war was in progress, and
certainly did not know a Liberty
Loan from a Surety bond. Miller is
an American, and is the father of two
grown sons, who were present at the
investigation and interceded in his
behalf. Officers took into considera-
tion his ignorance and finally allowed
him to return home after he paid the
costs and bought a bond.
OF FIR IS LIMIT
All Holders in Excess of that Amount
Must Return it to the Merchant
From Whom Purchased.
Every person holding flour in ex-
cess of thirty days' supply on the six
pound per person per month basis, is
doing so in violation of the food regu-
lations.
County Administrator R. L. Harvey
states that all who retain more than
the prescribed amount are liable to
prosecution under the "hoarding act"
and liable to a fine not to exceed
$10,000 and imprisonment for two
years.
citizens have been at a loss just
what, to do with the excess flour they
have on hand. Many farmers had
had wheat ground into flour in a suf-
ficient quantity to last them until af-
ter the next threshing—they come un-
der the same ruling.
The excess flour must be taken back
to the stores from where purchased.
The Food Administrator says that in
case the store keeper refuses to take
flour back at the present market price,
just notify Mr. Harvey, who will in
turn inform the State Administration,
and henceforth it will be impossible
for Mr. Storekeeper to buy a pound
of flour from any source. It has been
suggested by some farmers that they
dispose of their excess flour to neigh-
bors, but this is impracticable for the
reason that no person, firm or corpo-
ration is permitted- to sell flour with-
out selling pound for pound of substi-
tute.
This order is likely to occasion con-
siderable trouble to many people who
have only a small amount in excess
of the quantity allowable, but it will
be well to follow the order to the
letter.
COMING 50,000 STRONG;
| ADDITIONAL CALL MAY 1-10
Washington, April II.—A mother
draft call for 49,843 registrants has
, been sent to governors of states by
I Provost Marshal General Crowder.
I Mobillia'tion of the men is ordered
I for May 1 and 10, the war department
[announced tonight, and they will be
|osnt to eleven forts and recruiting
I barracks, probably for training with
regular units there.
This call increases to more than
300,000 the number of select men or-
dered to camp since late in March.
This is far in excess of the monthly
average that, would have been mobil-
ized under Unoriginal plan to call
800,000 men this year over a nine-
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before mid summer,
I'nder Prosident Wilsons' determi-
nation to hasten the dispatch of
American troops to France to rein-
force the British and French armies
bearing the brunt of the great German
drives in Flanders and Picardy, the
whole program of-the army is speed-
ed up.
Only a week ago General Crowder
ordered mobilization of 150,000 select
men for April 2(i and their fflovements
to the national army cantonments dur-
ing the five days following.
Further announcements are expect-
ed to follow,the return of Secertary
Baker from his visit to the battle
fronts and conference with officials of
Great Britain, France and Italy.
Troops now are moving to Europe
at a rapid rate and this clearing of
training camps will permit of the call-
ing of men much faster than was con-
templated before the German offen-
sive made it imperative to rush men
to the battle frontB.
Washita coutny's part of the addi-
tional call for 50,000 men will be nine.
This added to the twenty-seven in
the call of April 21-26, will hake 36
going at once. The last, call is for
May 1-6.
LITERARY—ATHLETIC CONTEST.
The 'Cordell and Hobart schools will
pull off a literary and athletic con-
test at Cordell next Saturday. It will
be one of the greatest events of ?h6
year. A base ball game, track meet,
debate, gloe club contest, boys voice
and contest in piano will be held. The
Hobart schools will dismiss and come
to Cordell en masse. At least 100
high school students will be here from
that town. The contest will begin
early in the afternoon Saturday and
terminate Saturday night. Cordell
will be taxed to the limit to support
this event. To add interest to the
day the track team from Clinton has
asked to be allowed to compete in
the meet. Competition on the track
will be very keen with these three
counties entered. It will be almost
a tri-county meet. Cordell expects to
win the debate and all the fine arts
contests. She has consistently defeat-
ed Hobart in these events.
BUY FINE HORSES AND CATTLE.
M. O. Leverton and. T. H. Arm-
strong. of the Dill neighborhood, and
.1. W. Slife of Foss, brought in a bunch
of pure bred horses and cattle last
week, purchased from J. C. Robison
of Towanda. Kansas Mr. Armstrong's
consignment was a Shorthorn bull and
13 heifers. Mr. Slife acquired 1 bull,
2 heifers and 2 fillies. Mr. Leverton
as usual, purchased . nothing but
Percheron horses, one stallion and
three fillies. All of these animals are
purebreds, the cattle Shorthorns and
the horses Percherons.
Bringing in animals of this class is
a great thing for the county: the Rob-
ison farm at Towanda, Kansas, has
a reputation for high grade stock all
over the southwest, and these Wash-
ita county farmers do not go wrong
in spending a little extra money in
gettipg the best there was on the
murkeL The day of purebred stock
is fast approaching in Oklahoma, and
Washita is going to be one of the first
counties fn the state to go one hun-
dred per cent.
LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
STILL BEING PUSHED
The tremendous drive for the sale
of the Third Liberty Loan is contin-
uing. In some parts of the county the
full quota has been subscribed, while
in others the subscriptions have been
coming in slowly. The workers are
sure that the county will go beyond
the. amount asked. The interest is
intense, and it is accentuated by the
critical condition at the seat of war.
The people are realizing now what
it would mean to fail to do our duty.
The members of the committee in the
city are working with all their might
and the committees fn the other towns
and th% school districts are working
full time to get their quotas up at
the earliest possible time.
The common question when people
meet in the morning is, "How is the
bond sale going?" The reports from
the outlying places are the ones that
all are looking for. These reports are
very slow coming in. Of course, to
get a people to do a8 big a thing as
this, it is not expected that it can all
be done at once. The great mass of
our citizens are doing wonderfully
well. There are some who lag back
and take a good deal of persuasion,
but they will all come around, and
then they will be proud, of It. When
they come to realize that they are
making a good investment, as far as
profit is concerned, and that they still
have their rnon^y where they can use
it In another way, if they have to. they
will all come around. The American
people are noted for standing by the
right. The right now is, buy every
bond you can pay for.

Order Effective at 8even A. M. April
15. Changes old Methods of
Distributing Fuel.
An order establishing a maximum
retail margin on all coal and coke sold
In Qklahoma has Just been made by
P. A. Norris. Federal Fuel Adminis-
trator for Oklahoma. The order is to
become effective 7 o'clock a. m.,
April 15. On all bituminous, anthra-
cite and semianthracite a gross mar-
gin of $1.50 a ton is established for all
dealers. A margin of $2.u0 a ion is
allowed on coke.
This order Is made for every retail
dealer in the state, and the only es-
cape for the dealer from this margin
is to appeal to the Legal Department
Federal Administration. Washington,
D. C. Pending the appeal the mar-
gins given above must be put into ef-
fect, unless the United States Fuel
Administrator orders otherwise.
All retail dealers throughout the
state must post and keep posted in
their places of business, accessible to
all customers, the government prices
of each kind of coal handled and .the
maximum gross margin allowed, and
the retail price at the yard. Drayage
charges must also be posted. County
committees will see that these regit
lations are rigidly enforced.
Every application for a mod I flea
tion of this order shall he made in
writing, supported by facts and fig-
ures. and forwarded to the State Fuel
Administrator, IJor sufficient reasons
posting prices may be not enforced
in specific cases.
Retail dealeft get all the benefit, of
summer storage reductions if the con
aumers do not take the coal to their
bins. If a dealer places coal in his
bins In April and pays April prices for
it, he can sell it in May and collect
May prices plus his gross margin,
thereby making 15 cents a ton more
on the coal. In other words, the deal-
er or consumer who buys quickest
gets the benefit of the largest reduc-
tions.

Cordell Schools Make Splendid Show-
nig at Southwestern Meet. Lose
Out in Athletics.
The Cordell high school made a
splendid showing in the Southwestern
Meet at Weatherford. The" rain Sat-
urday ruined the chances of the Cor-
dell boys to cop the athletic meet, hut
the school made a strong showing in
lie literary and fine nrts side of the
moot. On account of the strenuous
times and the depleted condition of
the finances of the council, only a
comparatively small number of rep-
resentatives were sent. Of three en-
tries in the fine arts, Cordell carried
off two first places. Tom Richardson
won first in boys' voice, and Pearle
Watson won first in reading. The
Cordell rprfcesentatives in piano, Ruth
Stone and Dorothy Beets, made a
splendid showing, but first place went,
to the Elk City representative. Lorine
Dean would probably have won the
art contest but she failed to get there.
Cordell could have won the grade
reading, if her representatives had
been there.
In the track events ihe Cordell
boys won 13 points. The track was
soft and heavy and the meet was run
in a down pour of rain. None of the
Cordell boys were in condition to
compete under such a handicap. Fred
Hair, who was expected to win the
high jump, lost out on account of a
bad knee. He strained his knee in
tiie county meet at Cordell and it did
not gel in condition again. Tom Rich-
ardson was badly out of condition and
showed up the poorest he has In sev-
eral days. Sam Bowie was suffering
from a sever cold yet he showed up
well in his events. He won second in
the half mile and first in the mile run.
He led the Cordell team with 8 points.
Mec Richardson got second place in
the high hurdles and Frank Payton
won third in the quarter mile. The
worst disappointment of all was the
loss of the relay race. The race was
ru i mii mediately following mile
and quarter mile events. Three of
the Cordell boys were run down to
begin with, so Hobart with a fresh
team, won the event. The boys
fought hard for the race but lost.
Frank Payton was so completely ex-
hausted after this race that, he had to
be carried from the field.
The Cordell base ball team lost in
the finals to Frederick. The game was
a great one, the score being 6 to 7.
Frederick had a great team and play-
ed an errorless game. They had A
wonderfully strong pitcher. Up until
the «th inning not a Cordell boy
reached first base, while Frederick
had put across 7 runs. Then the
Cordell batters got busy and began
running in scores. They slammed the
bull to every corner of the field and
would have won If there had been one
more inning to play. The Cordell boys
played a greath game In the field.
While they made 2 errors, yet they ac-
cepted many diffcult chanc.ee., The
Frederick boys hammered the ball
hard and had it not been for the great
work , of the Cordell fielders, they
would have run up a large score. Cor-
dell played the best ball they have
put up this season. Frederick has
not lost a game this season and de-
served to win. The Cordell boys elim-
inated Custer City easily in the semi-
finals.
MR. AND MRS. LEVINE HERE.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben H. Levine came

Ben having secured a ten days' fur-
lough to look after some business mat-
ters. They leave this afternoon for

C. W. Robinson and J. It. Simmons
came through from Weatherford
Sunday in a Ford car. They expected
to make it by five o'clock, but the rain
and the mud delayed them so that it
was 11:30 when they arrived. The

circuited the wires so that they al-
most failed to run at all. They regis-
tered from the Tank Farm.
