FROM OKLAHOMA STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
NO PEACE IN SIGHT
“It is idle to talk peace to argue about provinces frontiers colonies
while the German maintains his right to seize what he desires to kill
when and whom he pleases and to abrogate every law human or divine
which interferes with his appetite or his lust”
These practically the unanimous view of Americans and their Allies
on the war It is useless to deal with any other than a defeated kaiser
Ilis treaties are4scrap of paper” so long as he has the force to break
them International law laws of humanity' all are broken under the
plea of “military necessity”
Peace now would he nothing more nor less than a German victory
Germany has accomplished her dream of the Middle Europe the empire
from Berlin to Bagdad The lands of her allies are hers German farm
lauds are still fertile German homes have not known the ravage of an
invading army of barbarians Peace would mean hut the beginning of
preparations for another great war in which the forces of autocracy and
democracy would clash in another death struggle And a part of that
1 1 will sell at public sale on the vacant lot
north of the Demo hotel

“America had better look out after this wat I will stand no fool-
ishness from them then” Kaiser Wilhelm made the statement to the
American ambassador The “foolishness” ho had reference to was our
protest against the murder of helpless women and children on hoard the
Lusitania and our demands that Germany respect our l ights If the sub-
marines had accomplised what Germany expected of them those in au-
thority agree that daily paper headlines in Oklahoma would now be I
telling of the landing of Prussian troops on American soil with the
pillaging ravaging and murder that Prussian troops have taken to
Belgium Poland and France
“FOR THE GLORY OF GERMANY”
“We are engaged in a war'against the greatest military power tLel
world lias ever known which has promised its peoples as a result of thi8 1
war not only security but riches untold and the domination of the world
These people have looked from a high mountain upon the cities of I
the world and they have been promised these cities and the glories of
them bj- the devils of autocracy and of war” — Statement by James W
Gerard until the declaration of war IT S Amdassador to Germany

The old “wild cat” system of banking has been long
since relegated to the scrap heap
The present day banker hears of the old “two-per-cent-a-mouth”
interest grabber as a myth of the remote past
This bank docs not and has never participated in the
obsolete interest grabbing disgrace to the business
world Our interest rates are small at all times and
are regulated strictly by money market conditions We
furnish money for all legitimate business purposes and
at a live-and-let-live rate
