. Twenty-elf ht Tutsans met at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms Mon
day night and voted to a man thit
the name "Tulsa" should be carved
on the ship's how. 1
To do It Tulsans must Invest
IVOfiO.000 In resl American money
in Mberty bonds today! These
Tulsans, representing the bis; inter
cts .of the community, agreed to
buy the entire amount, but that
won't win the honor. The winner
must have 20 per cent of Ita popu
latinn Investing In bonds. That
makes the buylnf almost universal,
and prohibits just such a thing as
ran be pulled off here right now.
There are plenty of Tulsans who are
so loyal to the city they would
gladly buy the entire amount, pro
viding the honor could be obtained
ttiHt way.
Hut the buyers must represent
the people generally. So It's up to
al the Tulsan'a to cover territory
and by nightfall round out the entire
luota. If that ran he done, the
good ship "Tulsa" will take to the
water, and In addition, a lolt to Hie
kaiser will result that will keep him
enafta at msni.
Looks Mighty Hopeful.
"We're optimistic and hopeful."
Admiral Davenport said. "It Is pos
sible, but we know here In head
quarters that to sell our , entire
quota will require every ounce of
energy there la In the ' city. It
means that every man who is to buy
must get into the harness, and do
It early today.
"We have the Incentive In the
way nf patriotism, and we have the
additional incentive In the honor of
naming a merchant vessel. It's up
to the people. Don't wait until the
solicitor comes around. Hunt him
up and have at least 10 per cent of
the amount you buy already made
nut. The banks are separate agen
cies In the loan business, and can
namlle your purchases.
Finally, let us have the co-operation
of the workers to the limit.
And If possible, put It over."
Yesterday's records were not In-J
airative of what will happen today

Page Hasn't a Hundred Legitimate
Subscribers to His Morning Sheet
Ever since the outbreak of the European war Charles Page has hern
spending thousands of dollars every month In the futile effort to destroy
Tho World and dominate tlic newspaper situation In Tulsa. Resorting to
every despicable method lo get business from begging, bargaining, traffick
ing and cutting rate) to threats, coercion and near-blackmail, he utterly
failed to get even a footing for bis morning nheet. Four months ago, fared
with utter failure to secure even the semblance of a legitimate paid-circulation,
be started In to give Ills morning sheet away free with his afternoon
paper and lias wasted hundreds of tons of white pap"" which the war
Itxltihlcjes board la trying to conserve.
The World will give $100 In cash If Oiarlea Page can sfow a PAID
CIRCULATION of 100 for his morning newspaper In the elty of Tulsa, or
If ho ean prove a legitimate advertising return for a single month alnee he
started sufficient to pay the mechanical lubor required to get It out ono
week, to say nothing of the valc of white iapcr.
He never had enough subsrrlhers st uny time to pay for delivering his
morning puer and he hasn't a single subscriber to It who Is not forced to
take It in order tc get his afternoon paper. Few people rend a free paper.
Its advertising value is nlll.
Ttp World will give unother $100 to the committee promoting the present
war loan If ho can prove a single statement herein to bc Inaccurate or
untrue.
Not only Is his morning paper a ' free-will" offering lo subscribers to his
evening sheet for malicious motives, but so Indiscriminate has his dlstrlhu
tlon of both been that it Is a common occurrence for carriers In attempting
to make collections to say to people who have not ordered them that so
many free papers have been thrown out that they did not know who were
subarrlbers and who were not, and where they eonld not collect they made
no effort to do so and In many Instances continued to threw both morning
and ewenlng papers until yards have been so cluttered up with old papers
that property owners' have warned thcrri under threnta of prosecution
to stop.

man und Austro-IIungarian troops
have arrived at Sofia from Rumania
and while part pf these will remain
In Sofia as an argument favoring

to keep the allied troops from the
Orient railway which Joins Germany
and Austria with Constantinople,
the capture of which was a few
years ago hailed as the greatest
achievement of the central powers.
The removal of troops from Ru

Home Ttilxims are wondering what quota of Liberty bonds they

Tha answer Is easy two for oae.

If you didn't buy your full quota before, buy double what your
QUOtA WAH, 4
Tulsans bought four and a half million dollurs worth of Third
Liberty hnnds.
We must buy eight million dollars worth of Fourth Liberty bonds
or sink Into tha slacker class.
Yesterday's war news was the most refreshing yet received from
Kurope. Bulgaria Is out ot the war, giving the allies a strip of land
three hundred miles wide between Austria-Hungary and Turkey.
Turkey shut off from supplies, being pounded on the south and an
open front on the north, will no doubt sue for peace. Refreshing
news, Indeed, but It by no'meuns settles the conflict. It Is an Incident
to be calculated, however, and Is as great a victory to the allies as
the collapse of Russia was for tiermany: but the Hermann did not im
mediately whip the allies because of Russia's downfall; neither will
the allied armies be Immediately successful over the central powers
braue 0f the surrender nf Bulgaria.
It means this, however, that the end of penre Is Just thut much closer,
and It means thiit the allied powers will win. and win with uncondi
tional surrender.
But now Is the time to strike, and strike hard. More money and
more men are needed ut thin minute than ever before have been
needed or probably will ever be needed In the future. Hit while the
Iron Is hot. Nothing mccerds Ilk. uiccess, and it is up to the
American people (of which Tu.sa Is a proud part) to buy double
the bonds they hiive ever bought before. Let's go over the top with
the Fourth Liberty bum In a whoop, und end the war.
If your doctor advised that our Ins had to be cut off and asksd
you If you wanted It cut off in one opt-rutlon. or cut off a little today,

would you tell liliu? "Cut It all off and get It over with."

asserted that sales are moving much
faster In the early days of this cam-

REFINING COMPANY NOT '
INVOLVED IN LAWSUIT.
Through a hasty reading of the
petition filed Monday In the ease
in district court wherein James A.
Htephenson. William Hargla aad S.
DeZell Hswley sue V. A. Young for
Indebtedness on account of transac
tions In stock of the Okmulgee Pro
ducing end Refining company, ft
was staled, through .mistake that the
Okmulgee Producing and Rsflnlag
company are co-defendants to tho
suit, with P. A. Young, In yester
day morning's World.
A second reading of tha pstltion
reveals the fact that the Okmulgee
Producing snd Refining company
is not a party to th stilt, 'but that
the transactions were carried by T.
A. Young and the plaintiffs. The
slock of the company, that part of
It which wss alleged to have been
owned by Mr. Young, was, according
to the petition, simply put up as se
curity by Mr. Young for payment of
his debt to the plaintiffs, and th
company nor any of Its assets Is
not In anyway Involved. i
As the petition reads. Young Is
the man who Is being sued for th
Indebtedness of a total of t6X.ltl.t7.
and the Okmulgee Producing and '
Refining company is not Involved
in any manner. This correction I
made In justice to the company, and
in nn effort not to, even Inadvert
ently, work sny Injustice to an In
nocent party.
