Hon. Pat Malloy, Tulsa. Okla.
Dear Pat:—The anniversary, of
the first legal opening of any part of
our state to white settlement finds
us so busy as only by accident when
the day has almost gone by to think
of it.
It is hard to comply with your
*ista expressed to Eugene to drop
you a line, when the only thing that
one thinks of and the only thing you
want to know about—the real big
thing—is a subject so far forbidden
that it scarcely can be touched upon
and keep within the regulations. For
the river of dooth h rtulsi rorj
high in these tremeudous days and
we can only hope and believe our
lines will hold so that it may not
overflow and sweep the world away
Eugene Constantin. Jr., is making
a good soldier. He applies himself
well and his knowledge of the
French language is a very valuable
asset to us all; he has a happy fac-
ulty of making friends of the people
he comes in contact with which is
of great help to us in the billeting.
We find it quite essential to have at
least® a working knowledge of the
French language in order to function
properly in this business; this we are
all working every spare minute to
acquire.
There is nothing but hard work,
Pat; no amusements, no recreation,
no lights at night, few have any
petrol even for lamps, and we have
had some trouble in getting lights
to work with at night. War has taken
a terrible toll from this land. Hut
it has not shaken the courage or
confidence of the people. It is su-
perb, unbreakable. Emotion has
long since died out; they accept the
hardships and privations as a matter
of course, kill and get killed, as a
part of the day’s work, and slug
along confident that some day with
America’s and God’s help they will
win.
But our country must speed up
speed up; we must have millions of
soldiers and billions of dollars aud
they must be here on the tiring line,
not spread-eagle-izing in America
The time has come for our people
to do and do it quick.
It will take a long while but 1
feel sure the allies will do the job
well in the end.
We could let ourselves get mighty
homesick over here, but fortunately
we have the panacea of work, and
maybe it will all come out right
sometime.
Wishing to be remembered most
cordially to the Coustantins, pere,
mere and lilies,
1 am most sincerely *yourp

that they come from the army camps
perfect specimens of athletic young
men.
After seeing this great picture aud
thoroughly digesting it, aud theu
taking into consideration that Camp
Bowie is but one of dozeus of such
camps located throughout the na
lion, one can readily see the finish
of the kaiser. Indeed one could al-
most believe that the Camp Bowie
bunch, aloue, would be able to put
the kibosh to the German horde.
Huskies is the proper word—they
are huskies every one. full of pep
and just boiling to get a chance
go ’ over the top.
The serenes of B company and
D company oflicers ai^l men always
brought forth warm applause from
the audiences, as did also the "close-
up" of Brig. Gen Roy Hoffman and
Mrs. Hoffman. But the whole pic-
ture, the entire five thousand feet
it. was chock full of interest and
will prove of great educational value
wherever shown. Mr. Kent is to be
congratulated, as this is just about
the best film of the kind yet shown
upon any screen.
As a result of the showing the
local Red Cross has added a very
neat sum to its exchequer, something
very acceptable at .this particular
time.
Colonel Hoover, of the Odeon
theatre, has the especial thanks of
the committee in charge of this
entertainment. Mr. Hoover most
generously donated the use of his
theatre for the occasion, in addition
he was “on the Job’’ from early
morning until nearly midnight, look
ing after the plant and in aiding the
committee in numberless ways The
machine operators. Donald Hoyt and
“Junior” Bruce, also have the spe-
cial thanks of the committee as these
lads followed the suit of their em-
ployer and donated their services for
the “good of the order.”
Hail it not been for the heavy rain
of Saturday and Saturday night the
crowd would have crowded the show
house far beyond it* capacity.
OVER THE TOI\
Every car owner in Chandler, who
possibly can, should have his car dec-
orated and at the courthouse square
not later than 8 o’clock tomorrow,!
Saturday, morning, ready to partici-
pate in the Red Cross War Fund
booster trip to Wellston, Carney,
Tryon, Agra, Avery, Kendrick, Stroud
and Davenport.
At least fifty cars should leave
Chandler at the hour set and it is
expected that other cars, loaded with
enthusiastic Red Crossers will join
the crowd at each stopping point.
Load fav our family or friends into
your car and come. The committee
desires several cars to carry a num-
ber of high school students who will
entertain the crowds at the various
towns with enlivening s^jpgs. Cars
are also wanted to carry the four-
minute speakers. Do not “let George
do it,” if you own a car take a day-
off and help us make the procession
and demonstration a huge success.
It every car owner depends upon the
“other fellow” to go, the trip will
prove a failure. Already a number
of our farmers, who drive cars, have
promised to join us.
Of course we cannot expect that
our merchants will neglect their Sat-
urday trade to go, so, necessarily, we
must depend upon those who can so
arrange their business to go.
Please notify L. B. Nichols, chair-
man of the publicity committee, if
your car and yourself will be on
hand, also, state how many you will
be able to haul- Do this at once if
you have neglected to do it before
now.
* Be on time, let us start promptly.
Remember there’ll be a well known
orator in Chandler at the close of the
trip to address the crowd.
PICTURE WAS. IMME.VSE
Approximately sixteen hundred
people witnessed the feature film of
Camp Bowie, photographed by J. B.
Kent and shown at Chandler last
Sunday, as a Red Cross benefit. The
universal verdict of all these people
is that the picture is all. and more,
than has been claimed for it. In
fact so interesting is the picture that
three-fourths of those who saw it
remained through two or more per-
formances.
Every phase of army ramp life is
there depicted true to life, the boys
are seen at their daily drills and
exercises and the panoramic view's
df the various sections of the great
camp were eye openers to a great
many.
One feature that seemed to impress
the people were the various forms
of physical exercises, or calesthentics.
which is a part of the daily work
of all. After seeing these and after
learning just the sort of work our
Holdiers are required to undergo
while in training, it is no wonder
The following school districts of
Lincoln county in the territory of the
Lincoln county chapter of the Amer-
ican Red Cross, have qualified for the
Honor Card by going over the top
in the second war fund campaign.
It is a high honor that the people at
home ma> obtain by having their
respective districts in the honor roll.
It will count for a lot iu the future
history and lives of the children of
the district. The Honor Card that
will be hung in the school-room will
be a matter of pride and a strong in-
centive to the children in loyalty,
patriotism, duty and citizenship. It
will bring a harvest of noble deeds
and great characters. The districts
here given have unofficially made
their reports. Each district should
report to the <aptain "i the it- d
Cross branch war fund campaign,
and he in turn will report to H. C.
Brunt, manager, or II \Y lit
cashier of the war fund. Each dis-
trict should be careful to report the
correct amount of cash and pledges,
as they will later be checked over,
and also report the number of the
school district and the name of the
schoolhouse. We shall continue the
list until the campaign is closed and
all districts are reported. The
figures given here are the assigned
quota of the district. In the final
roundup, the quota and also the ac-
tual amount raised will be published.

HOW Hl .NS TREAT AMERICAN
PRISONERS.
Private Rossiter, in the May Farm
and Fireside, says:
“The fleas had been so bad in the
Hamelin prison camp that eight large
abscesses had formed on my legs.
The heat of the day and the con-
tinual rubbing of my long shoes ir-
ritated the sores, so they became very
painful. Standing in open cans had
not improved the food, with the re-
sult that I became very ill shortly
after eating lunch. 1 was suffering
untold agonies from thirst. This
made no difference to the sentry. He
refused to listen to my cries for
water.
• “Finally he did tell me that he
would give me a drink when we
reached Soltau. Arriving there, I
again asked for water, which made
him extremely angry. He ordered
me to march. With great difficulty,
and suffering great pain, 1 marched
to the Commandateur, which is a
mile from the station. Then I was
ordered to march back to Soltau. I
could go no further without water,
so I lay on the grouud and refused

THE RED CROSS SPIRIT SPEAKS
Wherever war, with its red woes
Or flood, or fire or famine goes.
There, too, go I;
It earth in any quarter quakes
Or pestilence its ravage makes,
Thither I fly.
I kneel behind the soldierfs trench
I walk 'mid shambles’ sriear and stench
The dead I mourn; •
1 bear the stretcher and 1 l>end
O’er Fritz and Pierre and Jack, to mend
What shells have torn.
I go wherever men may dare,
I go wherever woman’s care
And love can live,
Wherever strength and skill can bring
Surcease to human suffering,
Or solace give.
I helped upon Haldor’s shore;
With Hospitaller Knights I bore
The first Red Cross;
I was the Lady of the Lamp;
I saw in Solferino’s camp
The Crimson loss.
I am your pennies and your pounds
I am your bodies on their rounds
Of pain afar;
I am you, doing what you would
4' you were only where you could
Your avatar.
The Cross which on my arm 1 wear,
The flag which o’er my breast I bear
Is but the* sign
Of what you’d sacrifice for him
Who suffers on the hellish rim
Of war’s red line. «

JOHN EMBRY TO SPEAK HERE.
Hon. John Embry of Oklahoma
City, has accepted an invitation to
speak in Chandler on Memorial Day,
May 30. The ladies of our Woman's
Relief Corps and of the Spanish War
Veterans are arranging an appro-
priate program for the day and
large number of people from out of
town are expected. The business
houses will close their doors during
the hour of memorial services that all
may attend.
Memorial Day, this year, has even
greater significance than at any
time since the close of the civil war
and should be more generally ob-
served than usual. Let us all unite
upon this occasion in paying tribute
our heroic dead and to the boys
who are now offering up their lives
foreign country in the cause of
humanity. «

Back from a trip “over there” that
took him as guest of three govern-
ments through French, British and
American fronts, Colonel George
Griffith, of the Moose Relief com-
mission, Thursday at his home, 515
the detail, this experience perhaps
is the most interesting:
He went from Arras to Peronne,
Bapaume, Noyon ami throughout the
whole Somme area on March 20, the
day before the start of the great drive
that so soon threw the territory de-
scribed, into German hands. Second
in iuterest is Griffith’s description of
his trip into Douaumont, that danger
point at the edge of No-Man's-Land
in front of Verdun. Of the trip the
day before the drive, Griffith said
“The Huns were already tuning up.
We didn’t know of course that the
event was so near. But artillerylng
was active. And, by the time we had
reached Peris, by way of Amiens, the
Germans had begun their advance.
His trip into Douaumont was de-
scribed in this terse manner:
“Two hundred, sixty-nine shells
fell on our way out of Verdun and
bark. And they called it a quiet day.
We could feel the air pressure from
some of these shells. I look now
upon this trip as fool-hardy. Our
party was the only party of civilians
that ever went to Douaumont.
Griffith represent! 1 the Moose
lodge in America. The trip by
commission of five was in the inter-
est of Moose men in the service for
which a $500,000 fund had been
raised. He arrived hack in America
May 2nd. t He will spend some time
in Oklahoma, his home, w’hich he
left for the trip abroad several weeks
ago. He was four weeks in the war
zone.
“I sought,” he said, “to learn two
chief things; whether the stories of
German atrocities were true as pic-
tured. and the greatest problem the
war has brought about. I learned
that the full extent of German atroci-
ties can never be pictured; that all
descriptions fail to„tell even a small
part of the awful story* I learned
also, as to the greatest problem, that
it is the need for proper care of
Griffith described his submarine
zone experiMice as follows. i call
it the zone of sleepless nights, The
time of greatest danger is at dusk
and at dawn. Therefore I so aj
ranged my hours that 1 slept iu tffe
daytime, and from very late at night
until about 4 o’clock iu the morning.
1 was eleven days altogether in the
U-boat zone. This included three
trips across the channel.
“We went through * the Irish sea
going over the days before the Tua-
cania was sunk. A submarine—
probably the one that sunk the Tus-
cania was sighted at almost the
same spot in which the Tuscania _'4
hours later was sent down. Our
ship, the Philadelphia, was couvoyed
by two war boats and0one of them
dropped a depth bomb over the place
where the sub was sighted. Oil came
up But this by no means indicates
that the U-boat is hit anywhere. For
the Germans now make a practice of
releasingw oil when the submarine
goes under, to throw off pursuit.
“Our return was on a French liner,
the Espagne. Not one of the* French
line ships has ever been sunk. This
is due to the fact, according to com-
mon belief, that the kaiser ar^l a lot
of Austrians own stock in th*- line.”
Griffith describes the work of the
sausage balloonist as the most haz-
ardous and unpleasant of all “over
Did you wear a little nosegay in
your buttonhole Sunday, because it
looked beautiful and vcffi love flowers
anyway? If you did you swelled with
conscious pride that you performed a
great service in memory of mother.
But today that nosegay Is faded,
and so is your serious thought of
mother, and you have dropped back
into your conventional rut opinion
that mother isn't very* much after
all Mother was alright when you
first remember her, when you were
“mewling and puking" at her breast
and all the gradacious years after,
when you were still helpless to tuke
your part, mother was the one you
ran to for empathy and protection
against all trie world, even ugalnst
father. But when you grew to full
manhood, when you assumed the full
plenitude of your rights, suddenly
mother did not amount to much.
What did mother know anyway that
was worth respecting She was only
woman, and women did not know
much, had no reason nor judgment
and never would know much. They
were constitutionally inferior td men.
Isn’t that about the song, my boy?
Father held that opinion before you,
aud he inherited it from his father.
The ages have held this opinion, and
it couldn’t be otherwise.
That is true my boy! The ages
have held that opinion und sanctified
it with religion. But the ages have
held many things that are found to
be foolish now and one of them is
that woman as a sex is inferior.
Mother has been the pretty playthiug,
or the ugly beast of burden of man,
all these ages—to the shame of man.
Until recent years he has had all the
freedom and all the leisure to think
and do what he pleased. He put
mother in the background and made
tier raise his “brats'’ and be his scul-
lion wliiie he hunted and disported
himself. He fixed laws and religious
to sanction the inferiority of mother
to father. And with the years the
proverbs and parables aud customs
grew mountain high making the dis-
tinction between the rights and priv-
ileges of mother and father until
they were assumed as fundamental
distinctions imbedded in the law of
God and nature.
Vet mother is made of the same
stuff that father is. As a babe she
is rocked in the same cradle and in
death buried in the same grave. And
father begins to find out that his
past conception of the inferiority of
mother is but a piece of supersti-
tion handed down when mail was a
savage. He now sees that his theory
of creation and of God was mostly
wrong. 11c suspects that if the book
of Geuesis had said: God made wom-
an aud out of her rib (or her ear,
or her toe, or anything else) he made
man, that mother would have taken
precedence of father in all these
ages, instead of merely trailing after
and would sit in the chief seat at the
banquet of life instead of picking up
the crumbs that fell from it.
Motherhood iu the cosmology of
the universe is fts great, if not great
er than fatherhood. It is no more
preposterous to think that the world
was created in female than the male
gender, in our deep distress, look-
ing up from the vallies of life into
the infinite mysteries of the uu-
no non aci h
call upon the - motherhood of God
than the fatherhood of God.
