Robbed There
It is truly wonderful liow much
money individuals can save collective-
ly by depositing nominal amounts
each week thru the agency of the
Christmas Savings funds.
I hiring the past year the Farmers
Itank and Trust Co. and the National
Bank of Claremore have conducted
the Christmas Savings Clubs and are
now paying out to the members. The
total amount, when all checks have
been issued, will be $13,500 made-
available at this time for Christmas
shopping and in a great many cases
for future saving. Many persons will
not spend all of this year's savings
account but will use a part of it as ;i
nucleus for another year and many
will start bank accounts, this being
especially true among the children
members.
The Farmers Bank Club this year I
had 100 members and will pay out a
total of $8,000. The National Bank
of Claremore, which started the club
but last year, bad 21 members and
has paid out $6,500. These figures
are surprising when one takes into
consideration the many demands that
have been made upon the individual
thru the war. War Savings Stamps,
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Liberty Bonds
and other war activities have claimed
their part of the ready money, l'et
the peoole of Claremore in.addition to
all of the demands of the war have
saved $1:1,500 and now have that mon-
ey back in cash.
This would be-an opportune time to
urge the members of the two clubs to
invest a part of their savings iti War
Savings Stamps. The county is be-
hind on the quota and could be helped
materially this way with mutual ben
efit to the individual and to the gov-
ernment. Of course all must hav1
some Christmas money. A desire to
celebrate Christmas with presents is
only natural, but before spending all
remember the War Stamps with a
part of the $l:!,500.
Both of the banks will conduct clubs
again next year. They will he glad
to give complete information in this
connection to any interested person.
Call in and find out about this Christ-
mas Savings Club; you will never re-
gret it. Notice the bank ids in to-
day's issue. They will help wise y.-m
up to this opportunity to become a
saver instead of an everlast ng spend-
er, who, when confronted with dd age
has nothing to fall back u|x n ex.-ppt
hard labor for sustenance when the
body is illv fit to perform it. Save

Early Sunday morning Policeman
Lot J. Langley caught three lioy bur-
glars at the Frisco station as they
were getting off a freight train. They
looked suspicious und Langley took
them in. After a little investigation
of two new suitcases the boys carried
Langley was doubly glad he had taken
them in.
In the suitcases he found a con-
siderable quantity of merchandise, in-
cluded in the lot being men's suits,
l:i silk shirts valued at $9 each and
other expensive articles of men's ap-
parel, all bearing a mark of a Vinita
.-.tore. He called the Vinita authori-
ties, informing them of the catch.
They went to the store at that place
and found it had been burglarized.
The boys were ordered held. The Vi-
nita authorities came after them Sun-
day afternoon. Their names were
Boggs, Russell and Tartar.
Two of them, Boggs and Tartar, had
previously been arrested here, charg
ed with robbing the Boston Store.
A clothing store at Nowata was
robbed the other night and similar ar
ticles to those found in the suit cases
here were taken. It is possible, offi-
cers thinks, that these boys might
have been responsible for the robbery
of the Nowata store of approximately
$800 worth of merchandise, a hig part
of which was silk goods.

THREE YANKS NAMED FOR CON-
GRESSIONAL MEDALS BY
WILSON
SECOND LYCEl'M NUMBER IS
GOOD
Wusbigton. Dec. <i.—Three Amer-
ican soldiers—a colonel, a captain and
a private—designated by President
Wilson to receive the highest military
decoration given by the United States
for valor in action, the congressional
medal of honor. They have won the
first of the medals awarded during
the war with Germany and their
names are: Col. Charles W. Whittle-
sey, :>08th infantry; ('apt. George G.
McMurtry • Priv. Thomas C. Neibaur.
Colonel Whittlesey, then major, and
Captain McMurtry, were at tne head
of the famous "lost battalion" of the
"08th, whiich lost half its men hold-
ng out against the enemy when sur
rounded in the Argonne forest, until
relieved five days later.
I'rivate Neibuur distinguished him
self when the Rainliow division took
Cote de Chatiillion in October by stop
ping an enemy charge against a ridge
singlehanded with his automatic after
all others of his pistol detachment had
crn Willed or wounded. In spite of
wounds through both knees he com-
pleted the exploit by bringing in 11
Germans at the point of his pistol.
The second number of the Lyceum
Course was given at the First Baptist
church Monday evening. A small
crowd was present to what proved to
be a most enjoyable evening. Ser-
geant Major Heirs was the speaker of
the evening—a man who went thru
the Boer war, the world wur in the
South African campaign and who was
later transferred to the Picardy front.
He was five times wounded.
He told in a most interesting man-
ner of his many and varied experi-
ences, confining his remarks mostly
to the war during the south African
campaign, stating that the people
would soon get an opportunity to hear
many lecturers from the Western
front but few from South Africa. The
number was highly entertaining and
educational. The music was also en-
joyable. It was regrettable that more
people were not present to hear him.
The next number of the Lyceum
Course will lie given F'ebruary 10th,
1918.
CROWN PRINCE SAYS HE AND
FATHER ARE NOW DOW N
AND OUT
London, Den. 5.—"You English
clamor to get father and me away
from Holland. We are down and out
and my father is a broken man. Isn't
that enough punishment?" the former
crown prince said in an interview on
the island of Wieringen where he is in-
terned. with a correspondent of the
Daily Mirror.
Frederick William added that he al
ways favored an agreement between
Germany and Great Britain and wish-
ed them to work together. A number
of bis best friends were in England
and lie only wished he could live there
as a private citizen.
"1 quarreled with my father in re-
gard to Great Britain," he cqntinued
"I told him the British would be
against us. He never believed this
ami would not take into account that
possibility."

ington, Dec. 5.—There is every indica-
tion that in his utterances in France
the president will make plain his pro-
position that all come to the peace
table prepared to make sacrifices for
a lasting peace, and that armed dom-
ination by any one nation shall cease.

Claremore lost the football game to
Tulsa High School at Prep field Sat-
urday afternoon by a score of 18 to 0,
but still Claremore is proud of her
team—proud of the magnificent man-
ner in which the locals held the heavi-
er Tulsa aggregation, even after los-1
ing Harold Hall, their star punter,
passer, ground gainer and defensive
idaver nt the beginning of the second I
quarter when he was forced to retire 1
for the remainder of the contest be-
cause of injuries to his head sustain-
ed while making a tackle. Had Hall
remained in the game uninjured the
result would have been ilifferent.
The story is not long. Tulsa came |
to Claremore confident of victory, ex-
pecting a cinch and merely a practice
game. They got the game of their
lives and escaped luckily with a small
score victory. The surprise was com-
plete. The big boys from the magic
city hit the real stuff and the going
was hard thruout. They scored but
three touchdowns, 18 points, and no
goals after touchdown. Two of these
were made immediately after Hall
went out before the locals collected
themselves. They were permitted but
one touchdown in the last half of the

GUS KEETER DIES FROM THE
INFLUENZA
Another hale, husky and robust
man, head of a fine family, has been
taken into the Great Beyond by the
influenza. Gus Keeter, after a week's
illness from the malady, died at his
home in Tiawah Tuesday night at
11:45 o'clock. He was the head of
the Tiawah schools and teached until
a week before he died. He felt ill
and a week ago came to Claremore
for medicine. At that time it was
found he had fever of 104. He grew
rapidly worse until pneumonia com-
plications developed and the end
came.
Gus was an excellent type of a
man, strong physically and clean
morally, well liked by all and his
going brings regret to a wide circle
of friends. He once ran for the nom-
nation for County Assessor and was
defeated by a few votes. For a time
nfter that he made his home at Ca-
toosa, lieing engaged in the mercan-
tile business at that place. Then he
came to Claremore and was employed
in the postoffice for awhile liefore
going to Tiawah this fall as princi-
pal of the schools at that place. His
end was untimely and a grievious
blow. He leaves to mourn his loss a
wife, four sons, the oldest eleven,
several brothers, other relatives and
a host of friends. Two of his sons
are now ill with the flu. the eldest
being in a serious condition.
FA-KAISER WILHELM ATTEMPTS
SUICIDE
London, Dec. 10, 1018.—William
Hohenzollern, the former German em-
purer, has attempted to commit sui-
cide, following mental depression
according to the l^eipsie Tageblatt,
which is quoted in a Copenhagen dis-
patch to the Exchange Telegraph Co
which is quoted in
•nhagen dis-
A member of the former emperor's
retinue who prevented the kaiser
from carrying out his intention, re-
ceived a wound, it is said.
The Ex-kaiser has had several in-
terviews with German experts on in-
ternational law concerning his per-
sonal position. These experts arrived
and left Amerongen, Holland, in a
rather mysterious manner.
It is understood that Wilhelm is
writing his autobiography and the
history of his reign. He will explain
his attitude before and during the
war, it is said. The book, which is
long, is intended for publication, or if
its author is tried before an interna
tional tribunal, may be read as a part
of the evidence.
W AR CANCELLING SAVES 7 BIL-
LION
Washington, Dec. 5.—Secretary Ba
ker told the senate finance committee
today that, through contract cancel-
lations, the war department expects
to save approximately $7,250,000,000
of the $24,281,000,000 voted by con-
gress for the nrmy during the war.

of the locals played a star game
sa was big and nard to handle but the
locals were faster anil had plenty of
nerve. They played like demons,
holding Tulsa for downs the first two
times and many times thereafter.
Rough, why the game was the
roughest ever played here. Tulsa
started it and Claremore finished it.
Players on both sides were retired be-
cause thev w-ould not conform to the
-ules of tne game. On account of in-
terruptions by injuries and disputes
the game lasted almost two hours
md a half. It ended long after dark-
ness had fallen, almost obscuring the
ilayers from anxious eyes on the side-
ines. It was a great game and will
ong be remembered here.
A big crowd was in attendance. The
management gave Tulsa half of the
irate receipts and then cleared $13 af-
ter paying the visitors' expenses out
of the Claremore half. This was the
'ast game of the season and closed a
brilliant schedule for the locals who
were beaten but twice—by Muskogee

localities with sufficient potent as to
justify such action.
In Claremore the matter has also
been given consideration by the school
authorities who have been keepiag a
daily attendance record. This record
shows .a decrease in attendance of but
■ per cent. The average attendance is
'. •_! per cent anil the attendance now is
87 per cent. Quite a number of the
5 per cent are being kept out of school
not from illness themselves but due
to the illness of some member of the
family. LTntil the percentage is lar-
ger the schools will remain open.
Mrs. Mary A. Davis says the school
authorities are inclined to favor the
rec6niniendution by Surgeon General
Blue who recomments home quaran-
tine as the best measure of precau-
tion. This may be done if the dis-
ease continues to spread. Under the
rules of home quarantine the bread-
winner is permitted to leave the
house by standing daily medical in-
spection but no other member of a
family where the disease is present
can go out.

IWc.lL
Lou-ion. Nov. .'(0, In view of the
widespread discussion regarding Pres-
dent Wilson' decision to attend the
peuic conference, the United Press
isketl Lord Northcliffe, Britain's
greatest publisher, for a statement of
the European attitude toward the
President's personal participation in
..l.e tlelil eration.
Responding to this request. Lord
Northcliffe today made the following
statement:
"Foreigners have 11 1 right to take
• ait in the politics of other countries.
That the President of the United
States would attend the peace confer-
ence has always been regarded here
not as a matter of politics, but as an
•s ential factor in the situation. It
would be unthinkable to us, for ex-
iniple, that Premier Lloyd George
-houltl not be at the peace conferences.
"1 am not in a position to speak for
France, but cannot conceive it possi-
b'e that the peace conferences should
take place without Premier Clemen
re -u as one of the French represta-
thes.
" Flic whole discussion shows the
gr.ive danger that always exists of
nternationa! misunderstanding. It is
ai paiently evident, from cables we
ne now getting, that many citizens of
the United States, Democrats as well
as Republicans, object to the Presi-
dent's voyage. I can only say that we
cannot com prehenil that situation.
"Britain and her four sister nations,
Canada, Australia, New Zeland and
South Africa, have had nearly 900.000
men killed. People of all shades of
opinion here realixe that our head
man, Lloyd George, must be at the
peace conference to look after the
nterest of a nation like ours that has
suffered so terribly.
"The United States lately has play-
e I a great part in the war ami the
German* have consistently addressed
be President.
"As a foreigner, although a warm
fr end of the United States. I c 111 ex
1 re s no view of American politics-
though, of course. I have many views
but I may be allowed to say, as an
-\prt-ssion of personal opinion, that if
'In 1' conferences were held without
'V-sdent Wilson the whole European
v. rid would think there was some
