Proclamation by Mayor Hartman

The drowning of the American Soldiers who lost their lives with the sinking
of the Tuscania reminds us of our duty as citizens of this Republic to use
every mens and extend every sacrifice to support this war and the Chairman
of the United States Shipping Board is calling on the people of this country,
through the Council of Defense and it's subordinate branches, to enroll all
mechanics or skilled laborers as shipyard volunteers and impresses on the
general public the duty of giving this call the widest publicity.

Now, Therefore, I, John W. Hartman, Mayor of the City of Guthrie, do hereby
call on every person who is a skilled laborer or mechanic to present himself
at the office of the Mayor in the City Hall, at Guthrie, and be enrolled in
this service of the country.

Done at Guthrie this 8th day of February, 1918.

                                                J. W. Hartman, Mayor
