Bad Weathar and Health Conditions
Causa for Poatponament of Final
Red Croaa Effort.
The Red Cross has designed Mon-
day of next week, January 6th. as
"Mop Up Day," when the final effort
for a hundred pVrcent enrollment of
all citizens in the Red Cross Christ-
mas Roll Call will be made.
Weather and health conditions have
made it impossible to have a success-
ful campaign locally. So far as com-
plete reports have been received, the
county enrollment at this time is so
small that it Is negligible, and Cordell,
district 78, probably has more mem-
bers enrolled at this time than the
balance of the county, as far as re*
ported memberships are concerned.
Since this is to be only sort of an
appeal to be made by the Red Cross,
the enrollmeht of memberships should
clearly indicate the respect and re-
gard of each community for that or-
ganization. The fact that the war is
over or that some of the boys are
home does not lesson the need for the
human life in Europe, of assistance to
the millions yet in service, is as great
as ever.
Every person is urged to make an
effort to get their membership in to
their workers or committee before
"Mop Up Day," but those who have
not joined before that date will be
solicited.
In speaking of the extension of time,
Mrs. C. H. Murdock, county chairman,
tor the Roll Call, said:
"Because of bad weather, Red Cross
Headquarters have extended the time
for Christmas memberships to Mon-
day January 6th 1919. All member-
ships must be in and that date will
be "Mop Up" date when you will all
be solicited. Make it easy for the so-
licitors and get your full family en-
rolled before that time. Mrs. C. H.
Murdock, Co. Chairman.

PAVE8 WAY TO FIFTH LOAN.
Washington, Dec. JW.—A new issue
of 1750,000,000 or of treasury
certificates of indebtedness maturing
in six months, was announced today
by Secretary of the Treasury Glass, in
preparation for the Fifth Liberty loan.
Books will be open fom January 2 to
January 7 at federal reserve banks.
The certificates will bear interest
at 41-2 percent annum, and will be
payable June 3, but on ten days' no-
tice from the secretary of the treasury
they may be redeemed as a whole at
par and accrued interest, on and after
any date set for the payment of the
first instalment on any bonds, offered
by the government before the certif-
icates mature.
OBJECTOR3 NOT FREED.
Washington, Dec. 24.—Secretary
Baker declined to grant general am-
nesty to 300 or more conscientious ob-
jectors held in military custody for
having refused to perform any kind of
work in connectlotf*with the army af-
ter being called f?r service under the
selective draft law//
A committee s^ing itself the
"Friends of Conscienclous Objectors"
called upon Baker to urge that a
blanket pardon be given the men in
custody as a Christmas present and
presented a petition said to bear 15,-
000 signatures. The secretary in-
formed the committee that the qases
involved differed so radically from
each other that it did not appear that
any general policy could be laid down,
but ^hat each case must be dealt with
on its merits.
REDS RULE BERLIN.
Berlin, Wednesday, Dec. 25.—The
editorial rooms and the publishing
plant of the Socialist Vorwaerts were
seized and occupied at 10 o'clock to-
night by members of the Spartacus
group.
The building was Invaded by a party
with eighteen machine guns. Xfter
taking possession they issued hand-
bills on red paper under the caption
"Red Vorwaerts." The chief of police
in Berlin, Eicborn, who had sent police
to protect the premises, appeared on
the scene and assisted in the suppres-
sion of the majority socialist organ.
It was announced by the Spartacus
group tonight that Doctor Llebknecht,
their leader would proclaim the over-
throw of the Ebert government to-
morrow morning. During the past
few days the radical elements have
threatened to suppress the Vorwaerts
because of its attack on the revolu-
tionaries.
At 11 o'clock tonight the govern-
ment sent out a general order to the
troops in Berin to hold themselves In
readiness Spartacus forces have
seized the Prussian war ministry in
addition to the Vorwaerts.
The impression appeared to prevail
tonight that the radicals would make
a general attempt Thursday to disrupt
the present government

HELD BY MASONS
Memory of Roy Zoellner and Harvey
McClannahan, Honored at Open
Lodge Service.
The Lodge of Sorrow, held publicly,
at the Methodist Church Sunday night
by the Cordell Masonic Lodge, was one
of the most interesting and impres-
sive occasions ever witnessed by the
people of Cordell. It was held to cel-
ebrate the memory of Harvey H. Mc-
Clanahan and Roy G. Zoellner, mem-
bers of the lodge who died In army
service.
The ceremonies were conducted in a
masterly manner by the officers in
charge of the program, and the sol-
emnity (4 the occasion took hold of
the large and attentive audience, and
held them with deep interest through-
out the proceedings.
Music was furnished by the choir
composed of C. T. Akers, Director, Dr.
L. H. Lanier. Mrs. I. L. Hull, Mrs. J..
A. Robinson, Mrs. H. L. Rigsbee, I. L.
Hull, Duff Dean, N. Boatrlght, Misses
Lena Cochran, Gertruge Cochran, Vel-
ma Tisdal and Mrs. L. H. Lanier, Or-
ganist.
The selections were appropriate and
effectfully rendered which contributed
greatly to the success of the program.
The Lodge regrets very much that
it had not sufficient room to seat the
entire audience, and that a number
had to be turned away at the door.

District Judge Thomas A Edgards
and Reporter John King will go to

ular term of Blaine county district
court, which convenes on Monday. The
Blaine county docket is >eavy, prom-
ising a term of about ;aree weeks.
Court will be adjourned in the second
week for the state bar association
meeting.
THE GERMAN 8HIPS.
The report a few days ago that
America favored sinking the German
fleet as the easiest solution of the
question has been knocked in the
head by the later news that President
Wilson Is opposed to such a proceed-
ing. It is not stated what plan the
president has in mind as to the dis-
position of those ships, but certainly
their destruction would be a confes-
sion of incompetency on the part of
the entente powers that be which
would tend to undermine popular con-
fidence In their ability to determine
any of the questions arising out of
the war.
It may be that the detail of what to
do with those ships may have to wait
upon the settlement of the Leaguewf
Nations. It is clear, though, that if
the League of Nations la to be any-
thing more than a phrase it will have
to have sufficient physical force to
compel conpliance with its decisions.
An international police patrol neces-
sarily callB for a fleet. It occurs to
The Oklahoman that the German ships
might properly be utilized as the nuc-
leus of the international fleet, manned
byinternational crews from the mem-
ber nations and officered in the same
way. Such a plan would avoid the in-
qultable apportionment among the en-
tente nations, which seems to have
been the bugbear. No nation would
have any grievance as against another.
And the League of Nations would at
once begin to function, or at any rate,
assume tangible form.
Whatever Is done with them, the
deliberate destruction of the ships, as
the easiest way out of a difficulty, is
unthinkable. The world will not go
forward by the easiest way. The line
of least resistance runs bacfward —
Oklahoman.
Mrs. Vernon Pendleton and children
who have been living at Altus, came

man was discharged December 26th
and arrived at home today. He was
detailed for work in the Arsenal
branch and stationed at Edgewood,
Md. since his entry into the service
Aug. 1, 1918.

tioned at Fort Sam Houston, Texas

FROM FRANK THOMA8.
La Rochelle, Sat. Nov. 23,1918.
Mr. J. B. Thomas,
Dear Father:—No, I don't want any
money, ha ha, but just thought I would
write you a little to let you know I am
still alive and feeling fine and think
I will be back In the U. S. before long.
Will endeavor to tell you about what
I have been doing over here. When
we got here there wasn't anything at
all here but a large depot about half
finished. We made a mess hall ont of
it . that is where we ate. The people
here had been building on it about
seven years when we came. Of
course three thousand of us ate at
once in it. Have a big band stand in
the middle of it and have music with
our meals. Well we started to build
a railroad shop here that Is a shop to
build cars. Now we are building 100
cars per day. Have seventeen troops,
six engineers, watching all American
engineers. Have ttye yard all lighted
up with electric lights. I guess about
three thousand lights. Have long
sheds over four of the troops to build
cars under so the rain don't stop us.
One of the sheds is over eight hun-
dred feet long and covers' three
troops, some shed and all of them
built out of the crating that the pieces
from the cars were boxed in. I work
in the power house doing repair work
night and have a good job. Have 16
fast gas engines, 75 horse power lock
one cylinder engine. Eight of them
are belted up to air compressors to
make air for the air hammers to drive
the rivets. And eight are belted to
generators to make the power for m
torB, and the light. They are very
good engines and don't have much
trouble with them. We rise about
fourteen hundred gallons of gas per
day. Use Ingersoll Bond Compressors.
It Is about the longest plant I ever
saw. This old place sure^ias changed
since we came. We have done more
In eight months than the French could
do in eight years. Have done all that
work and built about fourteen thous-
and railroad cars. The French cars
are about one third as big as the ones
we build. This country sure is far
behind the time. It is not a progres-
sive country at all. People wear
wooden shoes and ride around in two
wheeled carts. See lots of oxen
worked, but Paris Is a very up tp date
town. I was there the day the arm-
istice was signed, the people mire did
celebrate some. I never Baw people
go so wild In my life before and nev-
er expect to see it again. I sure was
lucky to be there on such a day. I
don't think we will build many more
cars, don't have any idea when we will
leave here, but think about February.
Hope none of you have the flu. I see
In the papers where It Is pretty bad
over there. We haven't had much of
It here. Well I must quit and write
Ruth a letter. I got the pictures that
mama sent of you all and you stand-
ing on the ditch. Tell Ethen that is
some dog she has. I guess Keene is
most a man with his long pants, I
guess they are too tight for him
though, ha ha. Well here's hoping to
see you all soon. With love to all,
Frank.

proval of the revision of the house bill
by the finance committee when it re-
inserted all of the so-called semi-lux-
uries except those on wearing apparel
for men and women. Later It voted
to reduce the rate on seml-luxurles
from 20 to 10 percent.
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin,
republican, made a long address to
the senate tonight in support of his
substitute bill which would ralBe more
than six billions of dollars, chiefly
through Increased rates on war excess
and surtaxes. The Wisconsin senator
said he would take "every dollar of
war profit" and all Incomes above
enough to enable the owners of the
income to . support his family in com-
fort.
When the final vote was taken at
10:40 o'clock, the senate had been In
continuous session for nearly thirteen
hours. Immediately after the pas-
sage of the bill, the senate began Its
holiday vacation until January 2. Ab-
sence of a quorum in the house, how-
ever, bad prevented that body from
putting a similar program into effect
The senate,^without objection, earli-
er, adopted the committee's amend-
ment for taxation of inheritance In

nated.
An amendment by Senator Johnson
of South Dakota to eliminate tho 6
percent tax on automobile trucks,
automobile wagon trailers and tract-
ors, was adopted. 33 to 28.

ent power of the secretary of the

tors Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee, and Lodge, the republican
leader, both opposed the proposal.
Senator LaFollette's substitute rev-
enue bill was rejected by a vote of 55
to 6, after the author had spoken for
neaaly three hours. Senators voting
for Its adoption were: Borah, Gron-
na, Norris, Nugent, Vardaman and

CAPITAL ISSUES BOARD QUITS.
Washington, Dec. 35.—The capital
Issues committee of the treasury, the
government's war agency for the aup-
presslon of unessential aecurtty taauee,
announced tonight that It would eua-
pend activities on December U aa*
remain inactive until dissolved nnleee
callcalled back into service hr devel-
opments.
Accompanying the anuouncemm
were warnings to the public, tpth from
the committee and Secretory Glaaa of
the necessity for continued atrlct
economy against worthless aaearitlee
The committee stated Its intentloa of
making a supplementary report to
congress, recommending a law to pre-
vent Impositions upon the brveettng
public and Secretary Glaaa aaU be
would ask the present congreas to en-
act such legislation immediately. To
illustrate the extent of tha
the committee said schools were I
established to teach saleamen fraudu-
lent promotion.
CharleB S. Hamlin, chairman, made
this statement for the committee:
"While legitimate bualness may
safely be left to work ont Ita own
problems, the capital issues committee
feels that it would be unfaithful to Ita
responsibilities if It failed to warn Uto
public respecting the enormous loaaee
sustained by the nation through the
sale of worthueBs and fraudulent ae-
curitles. In the opinion of the com-
mittee the sale of such securttlee
should be restrained In itmes of peace
as well as in war, and atrongly urges
that congress establish adequate ma-
chinery to put a stop to this traffic.
"The extent of the menace, due to
the Issue of such securities, to the
holders of government bonds la re-
vealed by the fact that schools are be-
ing established In some parta ot the
country to drill salesmen in the art of
persuading investors to subscribe for
unmeritorious or worthlesa securities
This can only be prevented by legis-
lation vesting in some duty constitut-
ed public agency full power to raa-
traln the offering of fraudulent or
worthless securities.
