WHILE STATE AND FEDERAL OFFICERS ARE CHASING BOOTLEGERS MOB LYNCHES NEGRO Again Oklahoma has been disgraced with a lynching, committed by 50 or more unmasked men, and yet, as usual, the officers of the law have pu forth no effort to bring the mudeerrs to justice. Even Gov. Cruce from his lofty peak of State authority looks down with little r no concern on the crimes of these degraded hellbounds who continues to ply their trade without any fear of the aw. Bootlegers and race track gamblers are the only class of criminals who have anything to fear from Gov. Cruce. The State Militia stands at the command of Gov. Cruce who will certiarly invoke its service to suppress the sale of whiskey or race track gambling, but never once has he raised his voice or hand to put down the lynch crime. The lvnching of Crockett Williams at Eufaula last Friday night by a mob of 50 cowardly muderers is just another good reason why Negroes of this State should form an armed organization to protect themselves and uphold the law. Any man has a right to resort to arms to defend the law, or to protect a citizen from violence. If the Negroes of Eufaula had done as they should, knowing the feeling against Williams at the time, they would have protected him at any cost. We believe in upholding the law at all times even if to do so means death. Therefore we are inalterably opposed to mob violence. These mobs are invariably composed of the lower element of white men-the brutal, cowardly, muderous element. But one or two determined men amply armed can easily disperse them. These lynchings are getting to be far too common in Oklahoma, and something must be done to stop it There is no hope of protection from the State authorities, and the federal government is silent on the question. Women and children have been lynched in Oklahoma, to say nothing of the scores of negro men who have been murdered, and not a single man of these infernal mobs has been punished nor have the officers of the law made any effort to suppress the crime or punish the criminals. Negro men, it's up to us to act. We must have justice! Our wives and children are not safe in a SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY August 8, 1914.

When a negro is charged with crime let us aid the officers in apprehending him and then take our guns and protect him against mob violence. If bloodshed must come, let us welcome it, and die if need be in defense of the law and justice. Mobs have no right to take the law in their hand to kill a person, but we have a perfect right to kill the mob in defense of the law and the prisoners life. Snch action on the part of negroes might bring protection from the federal government. The better element of both white and colored people of Oklahoma should band themselves together to suppress this crime. It can be done: It must be done!! Robertson Nominated Negro Votes Defeated Judge Williams COLORED PEOPLE RE- MEMBERED HIS SPEACH AT WAGONER According to the latest election returns Robertson has received the democratic nomination for Governor of Oklahoma, which means of course that he will be the next Governor. Williams hung on as long to hope as there seemed to be a chance for him, but finally admitted his defeat. Fally 18000 Negroes voted in the democratic primaries which droughtless accounts for Williams defeat. Negroes had not forgotten his Wagoner speech. Hon W H. Twine and A. G. W. Sango passed through the city Wednesday evening enroute to Boley to attend the Masonic Grand Lodge. Mass meeting of the colored citizens of the East End has been called to meet at the A. M. E. church Monday night for the purpose of electing a Queen for the Tulsa float which will doubtless be one of the most gorgeous in the parade of the National Negro Business Men's League at Muskogee ten days from now. The parade will be headed by Dr. Booker T. Washington and has cabinet preceded by a company of Negro Boy Scouts as his escorts. Next in line will be the officers of the state and local league at Muskogee, and officers of all the other state leagues. Then will come the floats representing every county in the state which has the vim to send one, in which will ride the Queen and her attendants, all little girls dressed in white, carrying a huge banner with the name of their county on it. The floats will be bedecked and decorated to suit the representation of the various counties. Tulsa will be expected to lead in this as in everything else. At least we Tulsans will expect this of ourselves. It is not a question of shall we have a Queen, but who shall it be? Tulsa is full of pretty girls from swet xseen to sixty any of whom would make a good race for this great honor. The Queen for Tulsa must be elected Monday night and each boy is anxious for his sister or his sweetheart to be Queen, elected by the vote of the people. Then too, married women are not harred, which will create a feeling of envy among the married men, each of course wanting his wife to be Queen. In fact, it will be a very interesting campaign and everybody will go out to see it. Al expenses incurred by the Queen and her attendants going to and from Muskogee will be paid by the local organization. 5000 Attend Big Sand Spring Picnic The colored people of Tulsa celebrated August 4th at Sand Springs Park. About 5,000 people attended the Park during the day. The big picnic was promoted by Freeman L. Martin. A number of stand privileges were sold by the promoter, but when the purchasers of these privileges began to do business white people in charge of the park ordered them to cease operation. A large number returned when this was done, but the great majority preferred to remain on the ground and spend their money. This celebration cost the Colored people of Tulsa and vicinity approximate $7,500.00.

LONDON, Aug. 5.—Although five of the great European powers—Austria, England, France, Germany and Russia—are at war and millions of men on land and sea are under arms and ready to strike, developments of prime importance were few today. The cutting of the German telegraph and telephone connections and the severance of the German trans-Atlantic cable virtually cut Germany off from communication with other countries. Reports from France, Belgium, Holland and Russia, however, showed that Germany's armies were steadily moving forward east and west and that her advance posts were in contact with the opposing Russian and French armies. In England preparations were rapidly completed for naval activities after the declaration of war last night, but the authorities would not permit any leakage of news as to military or naval movements.

Several German steamships in British waters, including the Ballgia with seventy-three German reservists and a quantity of foodstuffs on board, were declared prizes of war. The Maria Leonhardt, in the Thames, suffered a similar fate. The British government today commanded the horses belonging to the express companies and big department stores, thus causing almost a suspension of business. On the coast of the North sea where it had been erroneously reported that a naval battle was in progress last night, the British government had taken over all schools and other public buildings, for conversion into hospitals in readiness to receive the wounded in the expected naval encounter between the German and their fleets. Volunteers were requested for the British army and this was taken as an indication that an expeditionary force was to be sent out, but no authentic information on this point was obtainable. In France the minister of war declared the mobilization to have proceeded satisfactorily and everything to be in readiness with General Joffre, commander in chief, at the frontier.

President's Wife Dead First Death In The White House Since '92 WASHINGTON, Aug 6. — Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the president of the United States, died at the White House at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Death came after a brave struggle of months against Bright's disease with complication. The president was completely unnerved by the shock and his grief was heartrending. He bore up well under the strain, however, and devoted himself to his daughters. The end came while Mrs. Wilson was unconscious. Her illness took a turn for worse shortly before 1 o'clock in the afternoon and from then on she gradually grew weaker. Kneeling at the bedside at the end were the president and their three daughters. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N., and a nurse were in the room, and just outside a door were Secretary McAdoo and Francis B. Sayrs. Mr. Wilsons sons-in-law, and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary. Both houses of congress adjourned when Mrs. Wilson's death was announced, and for a brief time the wheels of the government virtually stopped. Vice President Marshal and members of the cabinet and the leaders in congress were notified. Both houses promptly adjourned. The flag on the White House dropped. gates were closed and the silence of death spread over the White House for the first time since 1892, when Mrs. Benjamin Harrison passed away. CHELSEA, Mass., Aug 5-The death at the naval hospital yesterday of Rear Admiral Royal Bird Bradford' retired, was announced Wednesday. Admiral Bradford was admitted to the hospital July 27 suffering from dropsy. He was 70 years old. An Ounce of Prevention Most people who enjoy a frequent drink of beer or liquor fail to realize it's weakening effect on the kidneys.

"One of the bravest acts I witnessed during the whole war," said an officer of the Army of Northern Virginia, "was that of a young soldier, who was probably not over sixteen. We had thought of him as only a boy, although he went with the regiment on all of its marches, and lived with it in all its encampments. "One day there was a fierce engagement. In the midst of it a bullet struck this boy in the breast, and he fell. Our colonel ordered his men to dismount, and as he himself sprang from his horse, the boy called out in a weak voice, 'I will hold your horse, colonel!' "Stopping in the midst of the storm of bullets to gaze in pity on the white, boyish face, the colonel said. 'But you can't do that, lad—you are dying.' "I know I am, colonel," the gallant boy replied. "But I can hold the reins when I am dead." "The colonel placed the bridle in the trembling hands and went forward. When the fight was over, he hurried back, and found the boy lying dead, the bridle reins still wrapped tightly round his limp right hand."—Youth's Companion. Permisalion Granted.

It doesn't pay to stick too closely to old notions of things. New ideas often lead to better health, success and happiness. A Wis. couple examined an idea new to them and stepped up several rounds on the health ladder. The husband writes: "Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, were sleepless, nervous, sallow, weak and irritable. My wife and I both loved coffee and thought it was a bracer." (Delusion.) "Finally, after years of suffering, we read of Postum and the harmfulness of coffee, and believing that to grow we should give some attention to new ideas, we decided to test Postum. "When we made it right we liked it and were free of ills caused by coffee. Our friends noticed the change—fresher skin, sturdier nerves, better temper, etc. "These changes were not sudden, but increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost the desire for coffee. "Many of our friends did not like Postum at first, because they did not make it right. But when they made Postum according to directions on pkg., they liked it better than coffee and were benefited by the change." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

BLACK FRIDAY IS REPEATED NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE FAILS TO OPEN FOR FIRST TIME IN FORTY YEARS. ONLY FIVE FAILURES ANNOUNCED Government Prepares to Prevent Disaster From European War—Armour Saves Chicago Wheat Market From Ruin. New York.—The vast complex machinery of the securities' markets of the world came to a complete halt Friday for an indefinite period. It was an occurrence unprecedented in history. Will all Europe seemingly on the verge of war, the continental exchanges closed several days ago with the London market following suit Friday, the New York stock exchange would have been called upon to bear the weight of the world's financial burdens. It virtually had done so all week, for while the London market was open transactions were nominal. The unloading of stocks here by panic stricken Europe during the last four days and the consequent collapse of prices made history in Wall street. To continue longer to bear the burden, in the opinion of the bankers whose influence determined the course of events in the street, would have been hazardous in the extreme. After a period of hesitation and extereme nervous tension, it was decided ten minutes before the hour set for the beginning of business Friday that the exchange would not be opened. The action closed the last great market of the world. All other American exchanges except Chicago quickly followed suit. Five Assignments Made. As it was there were four assignments, three of them announced on the cotton exchange. The firms are Flower & Company, bankers; S. H. P. Pell & Company, stock, cotton and grain brokers; Homer, Howe & Company, and F. J. Frederickson & Company, both cotton brokers. With the exception of Flower & Company the assignments are understood to have been caused by the recent decline in cotton dealings. Flower & Company who are not members of the cotton exchange, are said to have been embarrassed by the break in stocks. No statement of assets and liabilities was issued by any of the firms involved. Homer, Howe & Company of Philadelphia, reported as unable to meet contracts in the cotton exchange after an hour of trading, was also closed. It is the empression that the worst of the storm had passed. George W. Ely, secretary of the stock exchange, said there was no indication of trouble from any other quarter. New York's leading bankers asserted unanimously that the position of the banks was sound. How long the stock exchange will be closed was a matter of conjecture, the answer depending upon the course of events abroad. "If a general-European war should come," said one member of the governing board, "the exchange may be closed all summer." GOVERNMENT STEPS IN BREACH Has a Big Reserve of Currency Ready Whenever Needed. Washington. President Wilson and the administration acted promptly to reassure the country against any threatened financial dangers growing out of the European war situation. First the president took steps to complete immediately the organization of the federal reserve board so the new currency law may become effective. Secretary McAdoo, expressing approval of the closing of stock exchanges throughout the country, announced that a $500,000,000 issue of emergency currency waiting at the treasury department, would be made immediately available to national banks. To make more easily accessible the emergency currency, authorized by the Aldrich-Vreeland act, the senate late Friday at Mr. McAdoo's suggestion, passed unanimously an amendment to the currency law modifying the clauses providing that banks of national currency association, to avail themselves of the issue, must have outstanding currency notes "secured by bonds of the United States to an amount not less than 40 per cent of its capital." The amendment would give the secretary of the treasury authority in his discretion to ignore this restriction. It will be passed early Saturday by the house and probably was signed by the president before night. Official Washington was unusually optimistic regarding the general financial situation in the United States. TULSA. OKLA. STAR Secretary McAdoo had no worries over the exportation of Ameriacn gold though he approved heartily the closing of the stock exchange in order to check it. "America is in a position to take care of herself," the Secretary said. In the senate optimistic notes were sounded on all sides regardless of party affiliations and Senator Nelson of Minnesota dramatically declared: "In Europe they mobilize armies and navies; in America we mobilize bank reserves." M. Secretary McAdoo. "Europe is in a crisis," said Senator Owen, in presenting the measure. "Something should be done to prepare this country to meet any emergency that may arise." "There is in the treasury $1,500,000,000 in gold and silver," Senator Owen added, "$150,000,000 in the gold reserve and $130,000,000 free gold in the general fund. These immense funds, with $500,000,000 emergency currency available, would enable this country to face any financial crisis." ARMOUR SAVES CHICAGO WHEAT. Grain Firm Sells Heavily and Takes Over Big Trade. Chicago.—Armour's millions rescued the wheat trade from panic. Instead of chaos resulting from a settlement day in the midst of a war market with possibly scores of firms embarrassed, and a certainty that bankruptcies, few or many, would ensue, the Chicago board of trade was enabled to maintain its record of never having closed no matter how great the emergency. The chief reason that there have been no failures is that seventy-five entangled firms and individuals on 'change were freely given by Armour & Company whatever ald the necessities of the situation required. George E. Marcy, president of the Armour Grain Company, was the man who rose to the occasion. He quietly circulated word on the floor of the board partly in person and partly through his lieutenants that any member in trouble only need come to him. Before nightfall Armour & Company had taken over 8,000,000 bushels in open trades which, if not transferred, were critically in danger of not being safely settled in contract time on exchange. President Marcy ordered the sale of 2,000,000 bushels of wheat in open market and was thus largely instrumental in preventing Chicago prices from paralleling the wild upward sweep that in Liverpool came ahead of a steep subsequent fall. The Armour sales of wheat were supplemented by simultaneous disposal of 1,000,000 bushels of corn and an equal quantity of oats. These sales were afterward covered by numerous gradual purchases whenever pit conditions would allow without disturbing the course of price. Scattering Rumors From Berlin. Berlin.-Official confirmation of the reported blowing up by Russian troops of the railroad bridge between Granica, Russian Poland, and Szozakova in Galacia, on the railroad from Warsaw to Vienna, was received here. A decree proclaiming martial law and the prohibition of the publication of news of the movements of German troops and war material was issued. The proclamation announced military measures on the frontier, armed protection of railroads and restriction of telegraphic, postal and railroad services except for military purposes. The German federal council issued a decree prohibiting the export of grain, flour, foodstuffs, meats, animal products, automobile trucks, motorcycles, petroleum, coal tar, coal oil, effective immediately. The order is said to have resulted from the heavy exports of the past few days received by the chamber of commegee.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) THE BARREN FIG TREE AND THE DEFILED TEMPLE. LESSON TEXT-Mark 11:12-33. GOLDEN TEXT-"By their fruits ye shall know them." Matt. 7:20. Event crowds fast upon the heels of event during the days of this most tragic week in all the history of the world. Temperance means restraint and a constrainingly proper use of God given appetites and privileges, hence the significance of this lesson as emphasizing the principles of temperance. 1. Sealing, vv. 12-14. The day following his triumphal entry into Jerusalem Jesus and his disciples journeyed from Bethany, his abiding place, each night, into the city. Seeing leaves upon the fig trees, he had a right to look for fruit, for the fruit of that tree comes before the foliage. But none is found, and Jesus seals its barrenness. His act was a parable in action, Hosea 10:1. Profession had superseded possession, and Israel is therefore to be judged, set aside, until the day when they shall look upon him whom they have pierced. Cleansed the Temple. II. Cleansing, vv. 15-19. Entering the familiar scenes of the city and temple, whence the hosannas had echoed so loudly the day previous, Jesus saw its desecration and degradation. Outwardly a delight, it was inwardly deceitful, "a den of robbers," and his anger waxed hot. Everything he saw and banished was in some way connected with the temple worship. Even so the most holy things created by the wisdom of a loving God may become the instruments of the most despicable degradation. Ostensibly in the name of religion these temple merchants were in reality ministering to self and private gain. As at the beginning of his ministry so again Jesus exercised his authority and cleansed the temple from its pollution and for a time (v. 16) guarded it from further desecration. The temperance application at this point is very clear. Appetite, mental or physical, is a God given faculty, but must be kept within control. Properly used they are a delight, a blessing to the man and his friends. Allowed to rule and appetites are terrific task masters. Purify the fountain of a man's heart, govern his motive and the stream of his acts will bless all himself included. III. Forgiving, vv. 20:25. The next day on the way from Bethany to Jerusalem they again passed the fig tree and it was withered. The disciples marveled at the swift execution of his curse and Peter calls attention to it, v. 21, Matt. 21:12, 20. In reply Jesus again emphasizes the lesson, "Have faith in God." This does not mean that this is an explanation of how he withered the tree, but rather why it had died. Israel was placing its trust elsewhere than in God, and therefore withers from the "roots upward." Notice that the root is not blasted, and a beautiful tree will again blossom forth from the living root. So Israel shall once again spring up into a new and fruitful nation, Isa. 27:6. Jesus' teaching by this tree is an illustration of wherein Israel had failed. They had not faith in God. Faith can remove mountains, and no difficulty can hinder those who have faith in God, Mark 9:28. Faith grows upon the word, Rom. 10:7, yet love is greater, T Cor. 13:2. If we really desire the things we pray for, we "shall have them." We not only expect but go beyond in our petition and count as ours the things asked for. The lack of a forgiving spirit will effectually shut us out from God. Authority Challenged. IV. Challenged, vv. 27-33. Upon again entering the city and the temple, there came to Jesus the chief priests, scribes and elders who challenged the authority by which he wrought these things, undoubtedly referring to his triumphal entry and to his cleansing of the temple. His reply is a counter challenge concerning the baptism of John. For at least two years John had been dead and his voice silent with a probable forgetfulness on the part of these men, and a decreasing influence of his message upon their lives. Yet the question of Jesus had projected power as he brought John back to them with this question as to his authority, "was it from heaven, or of men?" That there was keen sarcasm and cold logic embodied in his question is revealed by the recorded dilemma of his enemies, vv. 31, 32. "I'm open for conviction," said one lady.

ENTHUSIASM WENT TOO FAR Managing Editor's Bright Idea Might Have Displeased Some of His Irish Readers. Charles Edward Russell in "These Shifting Scenes" tells many amusing anecdotes of a managing editor named Goodman to signalize the Pigott disclosures which defeated the case that the London Times and the English Tories had worked up against Parnell. Mr. Russell writes: On the night when Parnell's Vindication became overwhelming and complete, Mr. Goodman issued an order that every article and every item in the whole paper, big or little, should end with the exclamation: "A Great Day for Ireland!" It was tempting fate to do such a thing, and, of course, the inevitable happened. "One Hennessey, the janitor of a public building in Brooklyn, playing on the top floor with his children, fell over the railing of the air well and was killed. 'A Great Day for Ireland!'" "Grim old Recorder Smythe had before him a notorious burglar called O'Shaughnessy and sentenced him to 65 years in Sing Sing. 'A Great Day for Ireland.'" "William Mulrooney, a widely known philanthropist of the East side, choked to death on a chicken bone. 'A Great Day for Ireland!'" The editor-in-chief Col. John A. Cockerill, saw the proofs in time to prevent a riot and extra compositors were called in to take out the offending lines. Is Positive Proof.

One of the boys in the game impersonates a judge, another the district attorney, another a criminal, while others are the foreman of the jury, a policeman, a jailer and the attorney for the defense. Any that remain are jurymen. After one of the youngsters commits a "crime" he is arrested and brought to trial with all the legal formalities the children can remember. This time one of the youngsters was supposed to have killed another, but he protested his innocence vigorously. Then up rose the "victim." "Of course you did it!" he said.

STAR Family Secrets A pretty governess was remonstrating with her young hopeful, aged eight, on the ground of his incorrigible laziness, endeavoring to impress him with the seriousness of his offense. "You must remember also, Harry," she continued, "that you've got to work while you're young if you want to be a successful man when you grow up. Look at your father, for instance. Why do you think he stays late in his office three or four hours every week?" "D'you know, Miss Jones?" he exclaimed. "Of course I do," she replied. Of course I do, she replied. "Well," he muttered, as he drove his hands deeper into his pockets, "you keep it to yourself, if mother got to know there'd be a nice old row." There would be more perfectly honest people in the world if it wasn't so easy to separate a fool from his money. When our side wins it is always the Triumph of Right over Wrong.

Queer creatures, these politicians. About 5000 Negroes visited Sand Springs Tuesday. At a very conservative estimate these people spent for pleasure at this Fare, 0 ets per couple, which totaled about $2,500.00. Car fare to Sand Springs and return to Tulsa for these 5000 people amounted in round dollars to $1,000.00. Thus during the day these people spent just for pleasure approximately $350.00 practically none of which comes back to them. Two fifth of this number probably lost a full days work to get to attend the "Celebration Picnic" at Sand Springs Park. Rating the average daily wages at $2,00 per day, at least $4000.00 was lost by 2000 men who failed to work that day. S) that altogether it cost the Colored people of Tulsa and vicinity more than $7000.00 to celebrate "Emancipation." Does these celebrations bring us any material good? Would it not be better for us to spend this money in a more profitable way? Suppose the Colored people of Tulsa and vicinity had invested $7500.00 in some creditable business and elected a board of managers. We could have now had or soon would have a large department store or some other kind of business where our boys and girls could had employment and in the course of one or two years or even five years, we could employ Colored brick masons, carpenters etc, to erect a four or five story building which would be occupied by Negro business and professional men and women. Thus we would create something material for ourselves and pave the way for our boys and girls. This is the kind of food we need. Let us have more material accumulation and less of foolish celebration. Twenty one black boy on big gun boats when is no patriotism more American Negro.

An American contractor took some mules into Mexico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mixed.

ALL EUROPE PLUNGES WILDLY INTO SUDDEN TERRIBLE WAR GERMANY AND FRANCE EACH SEEK TO PLACE BURDEN ON THE OTHER. FRENCH AND GERMANS FIGHT First German Army of Invasion, 20,000 Men, Repulsed In Alsace—Aerial Fighters, Taking Part London.—Four great powers of Europe—Austria-Hungary, Russia, Germany and France, are engaged in actual warfare, but two of them, Germany and France, have not openly declared war against each other, as far as is known here, but have not even severed diplomatic relations. This is despite the fact that Germany's ultimatum to France either has been ignored or rejected. The explanation of this would appear to be that Germany and France are each seeking to throw upon the other the onus of beginning a war that may plunge all Europe into bloodshed. In fact, while the nations of Europe are flying at each other's throats, they are vieing with each other in protesting their desire to maintain peace. In this curious situation France, according to the British opinion, has the strongest justification. She was the last to mobilize and seems to have taken the greatest precautions to avoid frontier collisions. On the other hand, Germany, in addition to invading French territory without making a formal declaration of war, has violated the neutrality of Luxemburg and declines to give any promise to respect Belgian neutrality. No Escape for England. The effort of the British ambassador at Berlin to secure such a pledge has been wasted. It is difficult to see how Great Britain can avoid being drawn into the conflict to protect Belgian and Dutch neutrality. On this point Premier Asquith's official announcement in parliament is being awaited with intense anxiety. The British house is no longer under any illusion as to the gravity of a crisis which transcends anything in their experience. Servian Invasion Checked. Nish Servia - Austrian appears for the present to have abandoned her aggressive campaign against Servia, in order to prepare for possible Russian attack. The bulk of the Austrian troops who were concentrated at Semin have been moved to an unknown destination. A few troops remaining conduct a desultory bombardment of Belgrade. THE CAUSE OF IT ALL T WAR ON WITHOUT DECLARATION Germany Repeats Her March of Forty Yeras Ago. London.—German forces Sunday began the invasion of France without, so far as known, a declaration of war having been made. Two German detachments entered French territory, moving in the direction of Paris. One German force crossed the French frontier near the village of Cirey, between Nancy and Strassburg, and another German detachment, probably the Twenty-ninth infantry, invadtd the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, neutral territory between Belgium and Germany, and continued its march on the French fortified town of Longwy. A dispatch from Brussels said there was good reason to believe that this force later in the day entered France. It would appear that Germany is taking the fullest possible advantage of her supposed superiority in rapid mobilization over France. Twenty thousand German troops crossed the frontier early Sunday near Nancy. They encountered French forces and were repulsed with heavy losses. This news, however, lacks confirmation. German troops Sunday fired on and brought to earth a French flying machine near Wesel. A French aviator has been dropping bombs from an aeroplane in the neighborhood of Nuremburg, Bavaria, according to an announcement made by the military authorities. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR FRONTIER.

PROSPECTS BIG BATTLE IMMNENT Dramatic Scene When German Ambassador Takes His Farewell At St. Berlin.—Russia has begun the invasion of German territory, Russian forces having crossed the German frontier at Schwinden, southeast of Bialla, while a Russian patrol entered Germany near Eichenreid, in Posen. The Russian column which crossed the frontier at Schwinden was accompanied by artillery. Two squadrons of Russian cossacks burg, in Prusia, fifteen miles from burg, in east' Prusia, fifteen miles from the frontier. The Russian patrol which entered near Eichenreid attacked the German guard at the railroad bridge over the Warthe. The attack was repulsed. Two Germans were slightly wounded. The receipt of war news at the bourse gave occasion for enthusiastic patriotic demonstrations. An imperial order issued Sunday night summons the Reichstag to meet August 4. A telegram from Koenigsburg says a Russian patrol has advanced to Bilderweitschen, near Eydtkuhnen on the Russian border. A hotel keeper at Kochem and his son tried to blow up the Prussian state railroad tunnel, at Kochem. Their attempt failed and the men were shot and killed. Diplomatic Break Is Dramatic. St. Petersburg.—The rupture of diplomatic relations between Russia and Germany was dramatic. It was midnight Friday when Count Von Pourtales, German ambassador to Russia formally asked Foreign Minister Sazonoff that Russia cease her mobilization in twelve hours. The allotted period passed without an answer. At 7 o'clock Saturday evening Count Von Pourtales again asked if Russia would cease mobilizing her forces. To this the Russian statesman replied: "Insomuch as the Russian government has not answered within the time you specified, it follows that Russia has declined to agree with your demand." Three times County Von Pourtales repeated the German ultimatum and each time the Russian foreign minister gave the same firm negative. Finally Count Von Pourtales bowed and left the room. SPLENDORS OF GREAT OKLAHOMA STATE FAIR ALREADY REVEALED MIC TULSA Main Exposition Building and corner of Plaza, Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition, Oklahoma City, which will be ready for all the people twelve days, Sept. 22 to Oct. 3, 1914. Glitters of white from freshly painted buildings, American colors hoisted on pretty flagstaffs, extraordinary work of landscape gardeners, and evidences of the saw and hammer everywhere give some idea of the preparations that are being made for Oklahoma's greatest State Fair and Exposition, Oklahoma City, September 22 to October 3, 1914. Main Exposition Building and corne Exposition, Oklahoma City, whi twelve days, Sept. 22 to Oct. 3, Not since the organization of the Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition in 1907, nor for many years to come, will the Southwest be enabled to enjoy such a wonderful array of exhibits as in 1914. This is indicated by the unprecedented number of entries already made in every one of the twenty-one separate and distinct departments. Cornucopia will be exemplified as never before when the gates swing back on Tuesday, September 22. The horn of plenty will be found in every one of the sixty buildings and barns that now reveal the splendors that will greet all the people for twelve days this fall. FOR FIRELESS COOKER EXPERT ADVISES SOME NEW AND DELICIOUS DISHES How Requisites for Any Meal May Be Prepared Through the Agency of the Latest Kitchen Labor Saving Device. Some new things which may be prepared in the fireless cooker were presented by Miss Fannie Merritt Farmer. Following are the recipes: Cracked Wheat.—Soak one cupful of cracked wheat in five cupfuls of cold water two hours. Put over flame and bring to the boiling point; add salt and let boil for three minutes, stirring constantly. Set pan into a larger one containing boiling water and cook in a fireless cooker over night. Serve with sugar and cream. Smothered Haddock.—Cut fish into fillets and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Arrange fish in kettle, cover with prepared tomato soup; over this put a second layer. Place kettle in a larger one containing boiling water and let water continue to boil for three minutes. Cook with or without radiator about 45 minutes. Roly Poly.—Remove fat, skin and bones from a loin of lamb. Remove meat from eight veal chops, arrange the eight pieces of veal, separated by Something Wrong. Fro mthe office window of the Evening Holler, in the gay and brilliant metropolis, the staff funny man scowled with vexation. "Oh, dear, what can the matter be?" he sighed. "I had my grist set up in 17 different styles and sizes of type today, and still it isn't humorous." Old Silver Coins Found. Old silver coins belonging to the reigns of Elizabeth, James I. and Charles I. have been found buried in the garden of Manor Farm, Itchen Abbas, Hampshire. It is thought that they were placed there by a Royalist who fought for Charles I. at Cherition (1644) and was killed in the rout. Pray and You Will Receive. As the family was about to leave the dinner table little Elsie was observed with her head bowed and her hands slashed. "Why, Elsie," said her mother. "don't you know that dinner is over?" "Don't interrupt me, please," replied Elsie. "I'm praying for another dish of that puddin'."—Chicago News. Viewed from every angle the eighth annual Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition is far ahead of every event of the kind that has gone before.

Leading to this palatial exhibit hall this year will be a series of rare and beautiful flowers, fragrant in the extreme, on both sides of the spacious walks. Near the new home of agriculture will be found Machinery Hall, in the center of which will be an immense dairy cooler, one of the largest ever seen in the Southwest, while the building for the display of Indian agriculture is only a short distance away. The Indian building is one of the newest educational features and will bring together the best products of the various tribes and schools of Oklahoma. a thin piece of fat salt pork, close to the lean meat of the loin. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with a rounding tablespoonful each of finely chopped carrot, celery and parsley. Roll as tight as possible, put over a few strips of very thin fat salt pork and fasten with a string to keep meat in shape. Dredge, roll with flour and brown in a pan placed over gas flame. Cook between two radiators two and one-half hours. Scalloped Egg and Potato With Cheese. Arrange alternate layers of cold sliced boiled potatoes and sliced hard boiled eggs, and on each layer of egg arrange one-half of thin sliced onion which has been parboiled for one minute. Pour over a thin sauce flavored with cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Cook over one radiator one and one half to two hours. String Beans With Cheese.—Remove strings by cutting entire length of each side, then cut beans into two-inch lengths. Punge into cold water and allow them to remain until all the beans drop out, which may afterwards be discarded. Cook pods in boiling water, allowing one-quarter teaspoon of soda to two quartes of beans, for five minutes; then cook over one radiator two hours. Drain thoroughly, put in serving dish, season with salt and cayenne, add one-half cup of graded rarebit cheese and one-quarter cup of heavy cream. Stir until well mixed, sprinkle generously over top grated Parmesan cheese and add with one tablespoon of soft butter. Why She Stopped Talking. A very talkative little girl, who had been chattering away like a magpie all morning, suddenly became silent when a lady, dressed in the extreme of the fashion, called on her mother. Wishing to be amiable, the visitor said to the chatterbox: "Have you lost your tongue, my dear?" "Oh, no, ma'am," was the reply; "only my breath" The geography class was in session. One small pupil astonished the class by stating that in a certain section of South America there were talking monkeys. When the teacher questioned the statement the youngster opened his geography and triumphantly read: "This region is inhabited by There's not much usefulness to be expected from a man who thinks he is doing a great public service by digging up new questions instead of helping to answer the old ones. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS for the negro and that education ought to prove his salvation were two of the Points made by Robert R. Moton, com: mandant of cadets at Hampton insti tute, in a recent address. “Thoughtful negroes as well as thoughtful white men,” he said, “are Bereed that the South offers the largest opportunity for the masses of the colored people. It is fair to as sume, then, “That, for the present at least, the South cannot depend on foreign im- migrants for its farm operatives, its domestic and personal service, or its unskilled and semi-skilled labor; “That it must depend on the negro for the present and also the very dis- tant future to recruit the ranks of this form of labor; e “That, if the negro is to constitute the mass of industrial operatives of the South, it is imperative for the common good that there should be sympathetic co-operation with the white workers engaged in similar forms of industry; “That every effort should be exert- ed on the part of the South to make these laborers, black and white, more reliable, more skillful and more efi- clent; that the laborer can be kept efMcient and skillful only as his en- vironment is wholesome and strength- ening and not weakening and demoral- izing; “That it is the duty of every pa- triotic southerner to use every possi- ble means for the practical, sympa- thetic training of these workers and their children through a thorough, well-regulated school system. “It is frequently asserted by care- less and thoughtless speakers and writers that all negroes are lazy, shift- less and inefficient; but in practically every district where negroes are em- ployed, whether as farm laborers or as mechanical laborers, the verdict is that a large majority of negro work- ers are reliable, many of them are skillful and very efficient, and not a few are almost Indispensable. There are very few places in the South where the employer would be willing to dispense with the services of his negro employes.” The speaker gave a hint of the means which must be employed to keep these workers faithful and effi- cient. “No leader, either black or white,” he remarked, “can give skill- ful, efficient, conscientious service when he Is surrounded day and night by all that tends to lower his health, distort his mind, weaken his morals, embitter his spirit and shake his faith in his fellow men.” Major Moton was led to emphasize the very great necessity of education for the negro. “There has been much criticism,” he said, “and some fun and ridicule made at the expense of the educated negroes by, perhaps, well meaning people. But, after all is said and done, the most successful and the most reliable and the most influ- ential element in the negro race, as in every race, is the educated class—the men and women who have done most to cement cordial and sympathetic relations between the races; who have had the greatest influence for cau- tion and conservatism upon the reck- Jess and radical negroes; who have been most patient and most persistent in their offorts tg fit the whole negro race for freedom and citizenship, in their broadest and most perfect sense, by practical Christian education and sane, wholesome advice.” Kindergartens for colored children are being adopted in different parts of the South as one®of the agencies for improving soclal conditions that have troubled two generations. Rich. mond, Va., has lately opened an ex- perimental kindergarten which has already created such interest among negro parents and the school authori- tles that {t 1s expected it will soon be made permanent. The Richmond Kindergarten was opened by the Na- tional Kindergarten Association of New York at the request of Richmond people who knew of the success of the demonstration given among the col- cored children at Chattanooga, Tenn., where the local association assumed the care and support of the school on March 1. ‘The largest motor vessel in the world 1s the Siam, recently built at Copen- hagen, with a displacement of 13,200 tons.

Leftwich, and other influential col: ored men, nine years ago. It is the youngest, but also the largest, exclu- sive negro and Indian town in the world, In the open forest, remote from civ- ‘lization, a handful of red and black men, who held that voluntary segrega. tion was the only solution of certain vexed race problems, set about prov: ing their theory in a practical way. The city has grown to 8,000 popula- tion, There are churches, schools and stores, but there is not a white per- son in town or in the surrounding country. There are hotels where vis- iting whites may stop, but none will be allowed to purchase land or remain as citizens, + The community has kept pace with the town, as something over two thou- sand Indian and negro farmers are cul- tivating the soil. Boley has a model city government under control of the black race. The citizens are peace- able and thrifty. It may be said, to the credit of these black and Indian people, that no so- loons, poolrooms, or houses of ques- tlonable character, exist in their re- markable little city. Loafers and dis- turbers are made to move on. Cot- ton-ging, sawmills, lumber yards and many factories are among enterprises established, besides 150 colored mer- chants. The trade to the city comes exclusively from Indian and negro peopl. The leading citizens are boost- ing the town to 25,000 population. Among the essential materials that help the town are churches of five different faiths. The “submerged” part of the black race is a heavy incubus upon Its edu- cated, prosperous members, asserts Mrs. L. H. Hammond in her book, “In Black and White. “As fast as they enter this class they withdraw into a world of their own, a world which lies all about us white folks, yet of whose existence we are scarcely aware. It is largely the inefficients, the fail- ures or the immature and untrained who remain with us.” It will not do :o dismiss the wretched condition of ‘negroes in hovels with a shoulder ‘shrug and a complacent “They like what they've got; they're made that [way.” It may be true, but there is truth beyond that truth. Mrs. Ham- mond urges legal condemnation of these unsanitary settlements, to be re- placed (agency unnamed) by de cently habitable quarters; mainten- ance of which could, for one thing, be helped by proper methods of rent collection. She urges also an “ex- periment station” in negro housing, and thinks an’ ordinary city block, though one-third of it were to be given over to playground and other “com- munity” uses, would give satisfactory returns from the rental of “decent lit- tle houses” covering the other two- thirds. She wishes the poorer ne- groes in the cities could be turned back to the land; “not because they are negroes," but because country life is so desirable a haven of refuge for those who are unable to get along in the towns. She does not tell just how they are to be got there, and just whet jhey are to do when they. get there. China has been hit hard by the in- creased cost of living. The price of rice has jumped 50 per cent since 1911—due partly to the famine and more to the destruction of crops dur- ing the fighting on the Yangtse, Not to be outdone by the new coins of the United States, the Bulgarian government has commissioned an Aus- trian factory to coin a variety of pieces, 20, 10 and 5 stotinks.

Greenwood. Phone 248% Washington. —In a divided opinion the interstate commerce commissivs granted some of the 5 per cent. freight rate increases asked by the eastern railroads and denied others. Increases will appl in the territory of the Ohio and Potumac rivers and from a vertical line drawn through Buffalo and Pittsburgh, west as far as the Mississippi river. All class rates and many commodity rates.are in: creased 5 per cent in that section. No advances were permitted east from Buffalo and Pittsburgh to the Ay lantic seaboard. That excludes from the area from which the railroads will receive benefits the greatest traffic producing centers of the country, Commissioners Daniels and Me- Chord dissented from the majority opinion. Mr. Daniels held that 5 per cent increase should have been gen- eral—that the railroads were entitled to it to meet the high cost of living. Mr. McChord held the reasons which ‘the majority held to warrant an in- crease west of Pittsburgh applied to the éast. The majority, headed by Chairman Harlan, held, as to retes west of Pitts- burgh that they were the lowest in the country and wavranted an in- crease. While it was held that the income of eastern railroads was small- er than demanded in public interest no showing had been made warrant- ing a general increase. The real re- lief, the commission nuld, for the New England roads and those in the Cen- tral Freight Association territory was ‘financial organization upon a sound basis. It was held that rather than raise freight rates the railroads should discontinue costry rree services to shippers, develop efficiency of per- sonnal and equipment, stop giving free passes and possibly increase pas- senger fares to keep pace with the high grade service the public de- mands, ‘The commission finds that the rates In Central Freight Association terri- tory as a whole are lower than the rates in any other part of the United States. If the average freight rate had been as high on the Central Freight Association territory lines as in the trunk line territory, the former would have earned in 1913 $56,000,000 more than they did and the twenty- eight representative roads in Central Freight Association territory would have earned $20,000,000 more.
