The Supreme Lodge of The Knights and Ladies of Harmony of the World convened its second annual meeting in this city Thursday, Aug. 27, with a large delegation in attendance from the surrounding states. Much legislation was enacted for the benefit and the guidance of the order and much enthusiasm was manifested in the work by those present. Supreme Protector G. W. Folks of Memphis was detained at his home on account of illness and in his absence Vice Supreme Protector Edward L. Gibson of this city presided. The order in the Lone Star State was well represented at this meeting and they, the delegates have served notice that Texas will meet the next Supreme Lodge in full force. Oklahomaas interest was well represented by that real Knight Sir H. T. Hutton of Sapulpa who was re-elected to the office of Supreme Secretary by acclamation. Mr. Hutton was the only Oklahomaan who succeeded himself but several other men from that state were elected to office. G. W. P. Brown a prominent lawyer of Muskogee was elected Supreme Attorney for the order succeeding Freeman L. Martin of Tulsa, J. H. Goodwin, a Tulsa man was elected Supreme Trustee, succeeding Rev. T. W. Kidd of Muskogee. Prof. Edward L. Gibson of Waxahachia a highly educated young man was elected Supreme Protector. The election of Prof. Gibson to this important position will doubtless mean much to the order as he is generally admitted to be a real live wire in the fraternal business of the Lone Star State. He has a wide acquaintance in Texas and is now Grand Protector of the order in his state. With such men as Prof. Gibson and Sir Hutton at the helm the order can not fail to advance to the highest point of efficiency. The Tulsa Star was adopted as the official organ of the Supreme Lodge by the unannous vote of the body. This was done in order to keep the work of the order before the public and to insure its success. A complete list of the Supreme offices and their post-offices will be furnished the Tulsa Star in time to appear in the next issue. The citizens of Waxahachia and the Grand Lodge of Texas spared neither time nor money to make the representatives and visitors fed at home. The next meeting of the Supreme Lodge will be held in Oklahoma in 1915 at Some place to be decided by the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma. Most of the delegates left for their various homes today.

Chief Burns Editor-Pub.of Daily Bulletin The people of Tulsa will be surprised to learn that Chief F. N. Burns of the Tulsa police department is editor and publisher of THE DAILY BULLETIN, but it is as true as the sunshine. No, it is not the Bulletin of slanderous fame, so well known to the citizens of Tulsa which was consumed by its own fire, but a new Bulletin published the first time September 1, just five days ago, and it is for the exclusive benefit of the police department. This new system for the Tulsa police department eminated from the furtile brain of Chief Burns and will doubtless add much to the efficiency of our police department. The "Bulletin is issued early every morning and delivered to each officer. It gives full descriptions of persons wanted for crime in various parts of the United States, as well as here at home, a list of stolen property, a list of people being sought by relatives or friends, in fact all kinds of information necessary to guide the officers in their work each day. Chief Burns acquired his knowledge of the newspaper business years ago in Dallas County, Missouri where his father was editor of a weekly paper. Here the Chief started out as the "Printers Devil". His father was afterwards sheriff of that county and young Burns took his first lessons in law enforcement under his father.

S. Commissioner Benj. C. Connor and for lack of sufficient evidence were released. Johnson claims that his arrest, and the arrest of Mrs. Mitchell, was the result of a plot on the part of prominent oil men at Sapulpa and Bristow to keep Johnson from uncovering a big land steal in which they were involved. Now that he is vindicated Johnson says he intends to "go the limit" in exposing the steal and through his attorney recover some rich oil lands for an Indian woman at Bristow. New Cafe Started Mr. J.

This is good news to the well meaning school boys and girls who are earnestly striving to master the advantages of education. Parents should see to it that their children attend school regularly and encourage them in their work. In this way the parents of the city can do much to help the teachers make this term the most profitable for both pupils and teachers. Tulsa will doubtless have an excellent corps of teachers for this term and with the co-operation of the parents and patrons the schools much good can be done. By occasional visits to the schools we manifest an interest in our children which a good teacher really appreciates and at the same time encourages both the teacher and the pupils. The equipment for the manual training and domestic department is now on the way and will be installed in the near future. This will give new inspiration to the girls and boys—and will no doubt be of much benefit to them in after years. Douglas Rowe Released on Bond Douglas Rowe, who was held to await trial in the district court under a $5,000 bond fixed by Justice Lee Daniels last Friday a week ago was released on a $2,500 bond Thursday. The bond was furnished by Dr. A. Du Bols, A. G. Hill and Wilbert Bee of Beggs. These are all wealthy men and life long friends to the Rowe family. Rowe is charged with attempting to kill detective Ed Rice who was shot in the abdomen last May following the alleged holdup of the Fountain gambling den. Rice was shot near the Cherry heme outside the city limits on N. Gren wood in an attempt to arrest Rowe for the alleged robbery of the Fountain gambling den. Rowe offered no evidence.

While looking over books belonging to the family, George Fletcher of Gillett, near here, found written in an old Bible in the handwriting of his father, William Fletcher, 22 years ago, a prophecy which says, in part: "In the year 1914 there will be wars in every corner of the earth." William Fletcher was a learned man, and based his prophecy on calculations made through a study of the Bible.—Towanda (Pa.) Dispatch to Philadelphia Record. Snakes Take to War. Too. Hearing a crashing in the bush near his camp at Collegeville, Pa. Richard A. Smith saw a monster blacksnake and a rattler in each other's death collis. As the rattler began to weaken in the turtle, its mate, equally large, went to the rescue. Smith cudged the warring serpents whereat they transformed themselves into a "triple entente" and went at him. A farmer's timely assistance saved Smith from ignoble flight. The blacksnake was six feet long and the rattlers average four feet. Civic Service for Children. Civic work by children has grown apace and the youngsters have taken effective part in many a "swat the fly" campaign or "cleanup" day. The American Civic association has recently organized a department of Junior Civic leagues under the chairmanship of Maude Van Buren. It alms to develop good citizenship by emphasizing the spirit of civic service and familiarizing the children with the simple municipal ordinances which affect the child's everyday life. Home gardening is promoted by the department. SISTER'S TRICK But It All Came Out Right. How a sister played a trick that brought rosy health to a coffee flend is an interesting tale: "I was a coffee flend—a trembling, nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to the poison that stole away my strength. I mocked at Postum and would have none of it. "One day my sister substituted a cup of piping hot Postum for my morning cup of coffee but did not tell me what it was. I noticed the richness of it and remarked that the 'coffee' tasted fine but my sister did not tell me I was drinking Postum for fear I might not take any more. "She kept the secret and kept giving me Postum instead of coffee until I grew stronger, more tireless, got a better color in my sallow cheeks and a clearness to my eyes, then she told me of the health-giving, nerve-strengthening life-saver she had given me in place of my morning coffee. "From that time I became a disciple of Postum and no words can do justice in telling the good this cereal drink did me. I will not try to tell it, for only after having used it can one be convinced of its merits." Ten days' trial shows Postum's power to rebuild what coffee has destroyed.

BISHOP M'INTIRE DIES IN CHICAGO CALL COMES SUDDENLY WHEN PRELATE IS IN MIDST OF HIS WORK BEGAN LIFE AS A BRICKLAYER And Rose to be the Head of the Methodist Church, North, in Oklahoma—Body Brought to Oklahoma for Funeral Chicago.—The remarkable career of a Scotch immigrant, who started as a bricklayer and became a Methodist bishop of Oklahoma closed Sunday when Robert McIntyre died in Wesley hospital. For many years he was one of the most inspired preachers in Chicago and in later years became a celebrated lyceum speaker. Bishop McIntyre was attending conferences in Michigan last week when stricken suddenly. He started for home in Oklahoma City, but his condition grew worse while on his way to Chicago. When he arrived here he was hurried to Wesley hospital and his wife, Mrs. Ella C. McIntyre, and two daughters, Miss Ruth and Miss Nellie McIntyre were telegraphed for. They were at his bedside when he died. There were no funeral services in Chicago. The body was taken to Oklahoma City, and will be kept in a vault there until arrangements for the burial in California are made. Life History The story of Bishop McIntyre's rise from lowly beginning to one of the celebrated figures of his generation reads like a fairy tale from the book of success. His indomitable courage, kindly humor and personal magnetism swept aside obstacles and made him lasting friends wherever his path led him. Born in Selkirk, Scotland, in 1851, he came to America when he was 7 years old. His family settled in Philadelphia and he went to work in the mills when 11 years old. A few years later he became practically the sole bread winner of the family. He later learned bricklaying and provided a better living for his family than he had been able to do as a mill worker. He was drawn to Chicago after the fire of 1871 by the demand for labor in the building trades and in later years he took pride in pointing out some of the bricks he had laid and calling attention to the good workmanship. After seven years as a bricklayer his ambition spurred him to try to better his condition and he became a commercial traveler. Sample case in hand, he entered a mission in St. Louis one night. He was converted ad then and there determined to enter the ministry. With his savings he managed to scrape through the preparatory courses and enter Vanderbilt university at Nashville, Tenn. He entered the ministry in Illinois in 1872 and finding no church for his first appointment he encouraged the people to build one, doing a considerable part of the bricklaying with his own hands. His First Collection Ten years later he was pastor of Kenwood M. E. church, then the largest in Chicago, where he took up a collection of $10,000 at his first sermon. He left Chicago to take charge of Trinity church of Denver. The story of his success preceded him and he arrived in the Colorado city on a Sunday morning and went direct to the church. A great crowd was pouring into the edifice and an overworked usher hurried up to Dr McIntyre and asked him if he was a stranger. The usher informed Bishop McIntyre that a celebrated preacher was to take charge of the church that morning and that because of the rush to hear him, the great divine, he would have to go up to the balcony. "Iimpossible," said Dr. McIntyre, with a laugh. "I am the new preacher and I cannot talk to people's backs." He returned to Chicago at the call of St. James' church and several years later became known as one of the foremost lyceum speakers, many ranking him above even Beecher and Moody. The constant strain on his voice caused an affection of the throat and he was at last obliged to give up his work temporarily. He turned to literary pursuits, published several books and poems and prose which won him renewed fame. Bishop McIntyre came to Oklahoma City in 1912 succeeding Bishop Quayle, and his home has been in Oklahoma City. About two weeks ago Bishop McIntyre, accompanied by Mrs. McIntyre and their two daughters, went to Chicago, where he submitted to an operation, having been troubled with carbuncles.

Chicagoan and His Wife Suffered Hardships in Their Thrilling Flight From Carlsbad Through Belgium. New York—James A. Patten, the former wheat operator of Chicago, who was one of the American refugees returning by the Red Star liner Finland, told a thrilling story of his escape from Germany after war had been declared. With Mrs. Patten he left Carlsbad on August 2 and traveled via Herbesthal and Liege, where they arrived just as hostilities had begun. "We left Carlsbad for Nuremburg by train, as the authorities took my automobile," said Mr. Patten. "We did not know the war had broken out then, as no news of the situation was given out in Carlsbad. "Trouble began as soon as we struck the German border.

A great crowd which had gathered outside, expecting possibly to see us executed, hooted us as we left the station. "We were able to get a train to Cologne, however, into which city thousands of troops were pouring when we arrived. We got a train supposedly for Ostend, but we were stopped at Herbesthal on the Belgian border. We had to get out of the train at 10 p. m. It was raining and we had nothing to eat and no place to go. "There was no chance to get another train, but about one o'clock the next morning I managed to get hold of a one-horse cart driven by a peasant who said he would take us to Verviers, where he thought we could get a train for Liege. He gave us some crusts of bread which was the first we we had to eat for 18 hours. "On the road we passed the most pitiful procession of German refugees fleeing from Belgium. Some were in vehicles, but the majority were trudging in the dust, pushing or pulling their baggage in carts. Women with bables at the breast were walking in the noonday sun. REFUGEES FLEEING FROM storage an almost record supply of this extra grade of rubber. And we paid about June prices. Now Inferior Grades Cost Double About the only crude rubber available now for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times, the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells for much more than we paid for the best. The results are these: Tire prices in general are far in advance of Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of supplies, will be forced to use second-grade rubber. In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade tire as always. And that grade won for Goodyears the top place in Tiredom—the largest sale in the world. And, for the time being, our prices are the same as before the war. We shall try to keep them there. We accept no excessive orders, but dealers will be kept supplied. And we charge them, until further notice, only ante-bellum prices. That means that Goodyears—the best tires built—are selling way below other tires.

We had not progressed three miles when we came upon a party of Belgian engineers mining the road.

"Two hours later another party of Americans were halted at that very spot by a skirmish between the Belgians and uhlans. They were forced to lie in a ditch while the Belgians fired over them. Next day 3,000 Germans were killed by the same mines we had seen the engineers planting. "Soon after we got a train for Ostend.

The business or professional man who tries to get away from the common people in matters of public interest will soon find himself at the end of his road, so far as success goes. A colored man was arrested and fined in Chicago last week because he refused to serve in his cafe a colored man and his white wife. "We're getting more like the white folks every day." The prophecy that the dark races of the world will predominate all other powers does not seem near so groundless when we consider the terrible possibilities of the warfare now going on in the old world: We are informed that some of the teachers who attended the State Summer Normal at Muskogee, during the last term, are contemplating getting out a bench warrant for one Archie V. Jones—Wonder why? Down in Louisiana there are thousands of white men and women who "swear" they are "Negroes" to evade the state law against the inter-marriage of Whies and Negroes. This reminds us that in some states the "Jim Crow" law is a huge joke. Negro business men who do not advertise their business in Negro papers when they have a chance to have no right to complain about the other fellow getting all the business. The race newspapers are doing more to encourage race pride and industry than any other agency, and he is a poor race man who does not foster his race journals. Now that the grand old republican party is aware that the Negro will no longer stand to be hog-tied and bound to that party by unscrupulous political bosses who delight in chanting about the part their grandfathers played in the civil war, but will vote for their best interest regardless of political parties, we have noticed a great change in the latter day republican candidates. We have learned as a race that there is some good in all parties, and since we are trying to get all the good, if possible, it behooves us to be identified with all the parties. We have received a number of letters this week commending us for our editorial "Little 'Big Men' Among Negro Leaders" which appeared in our last weeks' issue. Most of these letters came from Muskogee, and it is especially gratifying to us to note how readily these Muskogeeans admit the truth and fairness of the editorial. This gives us further assurance that we are right, so we will "go ahead." We have declared war against the kind of hypocracy exposed in that editorial and there will be no let up until we have either won or lost the fight. Commissioner Quinn and Chief Burns have been called upon to investigate some alleged charges of bribery in which a certain police officer is involved. It seems now that some fellow some time ago gave this officer money as a bribe. Everything worked well and the self confessed bribe giver was satisfied until something happened to displease him. Then it was that he saw the wrong in an officer accepting the bribe, and immediately started a concerted effort to get the officers scalp. Many charges of graft and bribery have been filed against the officer and a rigid investigation is now under way. The Star knows nothing of the merits in the case, but judging what facts we have at face value, we are of the opinion that in the wind up some body will get more than they bargained for. In Oklahoma it is just as unlawful to give or offer a bribe as it is to accept one. Therefore if the officer in question is guilty of excepting a bribe, then some one is guilty of giving the bribe and in our opinion both should suffer the consequence and pay the penalty prescribed by law. Prior to election commissioner Downing promised to give to the Citizens of the East End relief in the matter of street improvement, but up to date nothing has been done. During rainy weather the streets in the East End are practically impassable. In some places water stands from 12 to 18 inches deep and for several days after a rain it is with the greatest of difficulty that vehicles of any kind succeed in passing. One place in particular we have in mind is at the corner of Greenwood and Cameron, near the A. M. E. church. The side walk here is fully 18 inches below the street level and as a result this locality is literally flooded whenever it rains. The people who live in this part of the city are tax payers and as such are justly entitled to a fair prorate of the street improvements of this city, but the commissioners have seemed to think otherwise up to this time. It is a great wonder, under the sanitary conditions which has existed in this part of the city during the hot days of this summer, that some dreadful epidemic has not infested the city. Now that the danger line is past, however, we hope the city commissioners will begin now to safe guard the health of the citizens of Tulsa by establishing a sewage system and sanitary streets in the East End. AN EVEN BREAK BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TELLS A STORY which, while on himself, illustrates clearly the attitude of the press. or rather a great portion of the press, towards the race. A number of years ago he made—as he thought—the speech of his life in a certain Southern city. His audience was apparently enthused to the highest pitch and he went to his hotel pretty well satisfied that his name would be emblazoned across the front page of the morning papers. It so happened that the same night a levee character of the race snatched a purse from a factory girl and was apprehended and landed in jail. To make a long story short, this culprit was featured on the front page, picture and all, while the notice of the great educator's speech was sandwiched in between adds on the inside of the paper. The Indianapolis Times, under the caption "And He Was a Black Man" has this to say along the same line: "The Negro gets a large amount of space in the newspapers. Every time he breaks into police court; every time he is made the victim of a not too discriminating mob; every time he acts just as a white man might be expected to act had he been brought up under the great handicaps which have harassed the Negro, he gets a prominent place in the day's news and the result is that the popular mind gradually comes to hold the whole race under suspicion. As a matter of fact a keen observer with even a moderate degree of fairness will find that he has good deeds to his credit; that there are times when he reaches the heroic, and that, as a rule, he is just as law abiding and just as industrious as the rest of us. Yesterday an aged woman would have perished in the flames which were destroying her home if it had not been for a Negro. We should be glad to give you his name, but he didn't hang around long enough to permit anyone to find out who he was. He was content to serve and take his reward in the consciousness that he had been of some service. We have known some white heroes who were less modest. It is just cases like this which get into print occasionally which remind us that the police court "Nigger" is no fair sample of the Negro race; that it would be just as fair to judge all whites by the barrel house bums who day after day face the judge. Here was a hero of the highest type and he was a black man." What we need and need badly is a more friendly press; we have our shortcomings but we also have our virtues and as the latter are in the majority it would be but just and fair when there is any exploiting to be done to give us an even break at least.—Chicago Defender.

D. Lee, an experienced show man, is giving the people in this part of the city the best to to be had in entertainments, both in pictures and in vaudeville and the appreciation of our people is shown each night in the numbers who pack the house during each performance. Some of the features this week have been especially attractive and out of the ordinary, and the management is to be congratulated for their efforts to give the East End such high class amusement. Mr. Lee says he intends to give the people of the East End the best possible attractions at all times if the people show that they appreciate it. This theatre is doubtless the finest of its kind in the southwest. It is a credit to Tulsa and deserves the wholehearted support of our people. In providing this up-to-date place of amusement for the East End Mr. Williams has assumed a great responsibility. Few men would have taken the risk, and since Mr. Williams has thus manifested his race pride, the people of the East End would be less than ingrates not to give him the support he so richly deserves. Race Will Pray Equal Rights ALL MINISTERS AND CHURCHES REQUESTED TO HAVE SPECIAL PRAYERS AND SERMONS FOR EQUAL CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS FOR COLORED AMERICANS. Hilburn, N. Y., Aug. 22, 1914. To the Colored American churches and clergy of the United States of America:—Greeting:— "Righteousness Exalteth a nation" saith the scriptures. The main strength of the Afro-American in this land of color proscription has been their faith in God. When savery was abolished it was as if in answer to the prayers of legions of black mothers. In the present unorganized condition of the race the enemy, color prejudice, is overpowering us. We must look to God Almighty for help. For these reasons I devoutly call upon all Afro-American churches and ministers to observe Sunday, September 6th, 1914, as Equal Citizenship Rights Sunday, offering up fervent prayers for this cause and for relief, and appealing to your congregations to realize the need of resisting the encroachments of segregation, the injury of disfranchisement, the horror of lynching. We ask that you ask God's blessing upon the Annual Meeting of our National Independent Political (Right) League which meets the next day, Sept. 7, for 3 days. Bethel Church New York City. BYRON GUNNER, President. WILL BE ACCEPTED ONLY AS INSPECTION COMMITTEE TO LOOK OVER LANDS. Galveston, Tex., Aug. 18.—The passenger on the steamer Liberia, on which Chief Sam and his followers will be notified Wednesday by S. W. Barnes acting British Consul, that they can not remain in Liberia permanently, but are to be considered only as a committee of inspection to look over the land selected by Chief Sam for colonization purposes. Mr. Barnes said it rests entirely with the Governor of Liberia whether he will allow them to land at all. Mr. Barnes said the ship is flying the British flag, provisional permission having been granted for the privilege. Because of this fact, Mr. Barnes declared, the British Government instructed him to make it clear to all of the sixty or more passengers exactly under what conditions they are making the trip. Mr. Barnes said he understood some of the passengers were considering taking their furniture and other household effects. In view of the facts as stated, he will make the conditions as plain as possible, so there can be no misunderstanding. Chief Sam expects to leave Galveston according to Mr. Barnes, either Wednesday or Thursday. The latest now from the audacious Chief is that he landed at Key West and telegraphed back that each club would have to send him $100.00 before he could continue the journey. The Chief has 50 clubs in Texas and Oklahoma. If they comply with their Chief's demands Chief Sams will leave Key West with another additional $5 000.00 in his slush fund. AY For ts Tomorrow JACKSON C. TAYLOR. Jackson C. Taylor was born February 3, 1865, at Iola, Allen county, Kansas. His father and mother were natives of the Creek Tribe of Indians, and when Jackson was yet a very small boy, the family moved to the Indian Territory. On account of their Indian blood, each member of the family was allotted 160 acres of land Mr. Taylor attended Hobson Institute, Parsons, Kan., and completed the elementary course in three years. Finishing there, he came back to the Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, in 1890, and secured a position as teacher in the government Indian school at what is now called Weleetka. In 1891, he married Miss Jane Holmes, also a native of the Creek tribe. The family now consists of eight children, five boys and three girls, each of whom own 160 acres of land. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have holdings of land and livestock easily worth $20,000. Lion Shirts Haskell Colored Folks to Celebrate Haskell Colored Folks to Celebrate SEPTEMBER 22-23 EMANCIPTION CELEBRATION. There will be a grand celebration to celebrate the issuing of the proclamation that Emancipated the slaves. Representatives from the following towns have named Steve Lowary Park $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile East of Haskell as the place of celebration: Haskell, Red Bird, Taft, Boynton, Yahala, Muskogee, Clarksville, Coweta, and Tulsa. This celebration will bring together more people than ever assembled here before. It is evidence of, or lack of refinement and inexcusable to celebrate any other date, but as long as no one don't bring this matter to the attention of the public, we will always hold to the 19th day of June, 4th of July and 4th of August and the 8th of August, Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma celebrate the 19th of June and Oklahoma celebrates the 4th of August. Galley Two. Here is what history says, President Lincoln on the 18th day of June, 1862 submitted the draft of the emancipation proclamation to the Vice President Hamlin on July 22, 1862 President read his proclamation to his cabinet and on the 22 day of September 1862 he issued the preliminary emancipation proclamation that emancipated the slaves. Among other things he said that' on the first day of June 1863 all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of the state the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then thenceforward and forever free. Hence can't you see by these words of the proclamation itself that there can be no other date except this one which we can correctly and logically celebrate the emancipation day. Hence we take upon ourselves in humble way to establish a uniformity of action. There is no better time to show to the world the advancement in education, agriculture, economy and in various industries. So let us come and have one grand and good old time. When all those little picnic and barbacues are over and done away with and forgotten, at a time when all the people can come together and enjoy themselves, we are inviting every body to come, both Colored, Indians and Whites. Amusements, one big merry-go-round a carnival, two trained Arkansas Black bears, Dancing. Hon. William Harrison of Oklahoma City and Hon. Emmet Stewart of Muskogee will speak.

Why go away and pay for opportunities when you can get the same at home free. We have a splendid Colored School here, and it will be a great deal better this year than last. We have some splendid buildings, and preparations are being made for greater quarters. Within a month after School opens we will have all the room we need. The school board has planned for plenty of room at both buildings. You so often speak of the good schools in other towns, now why not attend your school and make it better? It's alright to go off to school when you have a need to go, but it's nonsense to go away to school for the very same thing that your school is holding out to you. For years there has been a great deal of talk by parents, about sending their children away for Domestic Science and Manual Training but our own school has done away with that reason by installing a branch of each within her own walls. I love a college boy or girl, I believe he or she is among the greatest things of the world, but there is a time and a reason for going to college. I am saying these things from self experience. If your school does not carry you any farther than the eighth grade, then go to college for your High School and college work, but if your school affords you a High School course, what reason would you have f. or going away? Does it seem alright to go into another man's field and pay him to drink from his spring when you have the very same water at home? No a thousand times no Well thats the condition exactly when you leave Tulsa schools for other fields. Several young men and women have promised me to come this year, if the schools were blessed with the long talked of Demestie Science and Manaal Training.

SIEGE OF PARIS A NEAR FACT ANOTHER WEEK WILL SEE THE FRENCH CAPITAL SUR- ROUNDED. NON-COMBATANTS FAST LEAVING Enormous Stocks of Food Stored To Maintain the Army.—Germans Press Steadily Onward—Capital to be Moved to Bordeau. Paris.—The siege of Paris, according to present indications, will be a fact within a week. Taken at its face value, the latest French official statement, which maintains that the progress of the German right wing has forced the allies to yield further ground, would seem to indicate that the Germans, notwithstanding repulses, are making daily advances toward Paris. For several days and nights now troops from the south and west of France have been arriving at the hospital and passed by rail around the city to the locations in the encircling fortifications to which they have been assigned. There is great activity on the part of municipal military administration in completing the details of the plans for the defense of Paris. The government is considering the advisability of moving the capital from Paris to Bordeaux as a precautionary measure. The French foreign office has discussed the idea of moving the capital with foreign diplomats so that they could make proper arrangements. It is considered most probable that Ambassador Herrick will remain in Paris in order to better care for Americans should Paris be invested by the German army. The unusual animation to be noticed on the streets of Paris was caused chiefly by the thousands of persons who are preparing to leave the capital. Persons are departing and taking their families with them as a matter of prudence. It is felt here that the fewer the number of non-combatants in the city the better. Lines of people stretch for blocks from the railway stations waiting to buy tickets. Enormous stocks of food have been placed in the state warehouses for provisioning Paris. The Bois De Boulogne has been transformed into a vast pasture filled with cows and sheep. The Austrian invasion of Russia in the Lublin district, which aroused the apprehension of the allies, has, if Russian dispatches are to be relied upon, been blocked and the Musco JOHN H. HARRIS President Poincare. vites claim to have turned the Russian defense into an offensive action. There is no confirmation of the report that the Russians are in Koenigsberg. From Canada, India, Australia and South Africa the British army front soon will receive large reinforcements. Some of these troops are reported already to have landed in France. In England the recruiting fever has not abated. At Liverpool Monday a batallion of 1,000 business men was filled within an hour and there was such an overflow that it was decided to enroll a second batallion. The British government has started negotiations through the American consul at Berlin for an exchange with Germany and Austria of non-combatant prisoners. GERMAN VANGUARD NEARS PARIS Aviator Startles French Capital With Bombs Paris.—A German aeroplane, flying at a height of 6,000 feet over Paris, dropped bombs into the city Sunday afternoon. One bomb struck near L'Est railway station, not far from the military hospital, but did no damage. One bombs fell in front of the shop of a baker and wine merchant at Rue Albuy and Rue Des Vinaigriers near Qual De Valmy, one of which did not explode, while the other struck the walls of the Night Refuge, behind St. Martins hospital. Two others dropped in the Rue Des Recollets and Rue Marcin, neither of which exploded. The aviator, who signed himself Lieutenant Von Heissen, dropped manifestos on which was written: 'The German army is at the gates of A Paris; you can do nothing but surrender.'" Though startled by this threatening occurrence Parisians remained tranquil. All have been gradually accustomed to consider much more serious events as possibilities and the people of the capital are equal to either fortune—hard won success in the north or a temporary reverse. The official communication issued by the military governor ordering that houses within the zone of action of the Paris forts be evacuated and razed has been the subject of much discussion and various rumors have spread throughout the city. The territory over which the aeroplanist flew is in the northeastern part of Paris and scarcely a mile from the heart of the city. In the district are the big military hospital, the hospital St. Louis, St. Lazare prison for women, the church of St. Laurent which dates from the sixteenth century, the north railroad station, the magnificent church of St. Vincent De Paul, the Laribosiere hospital, one of the largest in Paris, several college and several theatres. Clearing Forts For Action. A circle of country forty-seven miles square will be swept of buildings if the order of the military governor of Paris that residents of the "zone of action" of the French capital's defending forts burn their homes in anticipation of a siege, is correctly interpreted here. It is supposed the order refers to the suburban territory just beyond the city's second line of defenses, composed of seventeen connecting forts. These are located in a wide circle about two miles outside of the inner wall which surrounds Paris. They lie for the most part among famous suburban towns such as Neuilly, Versailles, Vincennes and sweep every approach to the city. It is assumed that the governor's order is intended to clear the way in front of these defenses that no protection will be afforded an advancing enemy. The order applies also to the outer circle of the city's triple line of defenses. These are the most modern of the forts. They are built of steel and masonry and known to be equipped with the heaviest guns of the famous French artillery, though details as to their armament have been closely guarded. They are located among the hills. While it may be necessary to destroy numerous buildings in order to open the country to the fire of the guns, it is thought the destruction will not be of such wholesale proportions as in the case of the second line b? forts, which are embedded among costly dwellings and thriving towns. TULSA. OKLA. STAR GERMANS BURN CITY OF LOUVIAN GENERAL PROTEST LODGED WITH THE POWERS. Belgians Claim Act Was In Violation of International Law and Humanity London.—The war information bureau announces the following: "The Belgian minister of foreign affairs reports that a German army corps, after receiving a check withdrew in disorder to the city of Louvain. The Germans on guard at the entrance of the city mistaking the nature of this incursion, fired upon their countrymen, whom they mistook for Belgians. "In spite of all the denials from the authorities, the Germans in order to cover their mistake pretended that it was the inhabitants who had fired on them, whereas the inhabitants, including the police, all had been disarmed more than a week before. "Without inquiry and without listening to any protest, the German commander announced that the town would be destroyed immediately. The inhabitants were ordered to leave their dwellings and some were made prisoners. The women and children were placed on trains, the destination of which is not known, and soldiers with bombs set fire to all parts of the city. The splendid church of St Pierre, the university buildings, the library and scientific establishments were delivered to the flames. "Several notable citizens were shot. The city, which has a population of 45,000 and was the intellectual metropolis of the low countries, now is a heap of ashes." Files Protest With U. S. Washington—Formal protest against the burning of Louvain by German troops as a violation of international law and the laws of humanity was submitted to the state department by Belgian minister Haveman. The minister was deeply moved when he left Secretary Bryan's office. "I bring this knowledge to the United States," said the minister, for it is not only Belgium that has suffered. This thing concerns the whole world." The loss of the old church of St. Pierre was mentioned. In conclusion the message ran as follows: "Americans, many of whom have followed courses at this illustrious alma mater and have there received such cordial hospitality cannot remain insensible to this outrage on the rights of humanity and civilization which is unprecedented in history." Louvain, which lies in the famous province of Brabant, of which it was the capital in the fourteenth century, was the seat of the Duke of Brabant in the eleventh century. The university was founded by Duke John IV of Brabant in 1423. Experts called the church of St. Pierre "the richest and most ornate example of pointed gothic architecture in the country." The latest advices do not state the exact amount of damage. German reports differ from the Belgian version. GERMANS RETREAT IN THE EAST Not Yet Ready For Pitched Battle With Russians. St. Petersburg.—That the German defense of its eastern territory does not contemplate a pitched battle except on ground selected by the German staff itself is now considered certain. Reports from the front indicate the Germans are making no definite stand. They are slowly retreating before the Russian advance, inflicting all of the damage possible, as they move back on their main line of fortifications. The Russian left and center armies operating in force and along lines previously laid down have bottled up the German garrisons of the eastern Prussia forts and their reduction is assured whenever the general staff orders it. The objective of the center army is believed to be Posen, although no information regarding plans is obtainable here. Stories of supplies being poisoned by the Germans and left behind to be eaten by the Russian troops, are current here. Many Russians are reported to have died as the result of eating the commissary supplies taken at Gumbinen, Instensburg and Eydtkuhnens, and orders have been issued that hereafter all such supplies taken shall immediately be burned. That the Germans will make a definite stand long before the defenses of the Oder are reached is believed certain here. The general staff has reports of heavy Austrian reinforcements being detached from the Servian border and hurried north into Prussian territory. It is believed also that the Germans have been strongly reinforced by the reserve army just mobilized. WINCHESTER Rifles For All Kinds of Hunting.

GREENWOOD 81 Cruiser Leipsig Surrenders to British Rainbow and French Montcalm— Germans Lose Heavily in En- Gagement Off the Coast of Heligoland. The activities of the warring nations reached the navies last week. In an engagement off Heligoland, 11 German ships were sunk; the cruiser Leipsic surrendered after a battle off Vancouver; a German torpedo boat was sunk off Chefoo, China; and an Austrian de- stroyer went down off Brindisi. Se So wee ee eee. fe eee Vancouver, B. C.—The German cru- iser Liepzig has been captured by tho French cruiser Montcalm and _ the British cruiser Rainbow off Vancouver island after a fight in which 120 men were killed and wounded on the Liep- zig. Officials at the British naval station at Esquimault, where the vessel was taken, refused to give information concerning the capture but do not deny it. ‘The Liepzig was iast heard of at San Francisco two weeks ago when she cruised around off the Golden Gate, When she finally disappeared local shipping circles believed she had departed for the Samoan island, here nearest home port. It was presumed that the German cruiser Nuremberg, which coaled here recently, made for the same destina- tion. The last heard of the French cruis- er Montcalm was that she had cleared for Buenos Ayres July 20 for the Tou- lon French naval station, Her pres- ence off the Pacific coast has been re- ported from time to time since then but she has not been spoken, The Heligoland Battle. London.—Twenty-nine killed and thirty-eight wounded was the prize in men paid by the British for the naval action against the Germans in Heliog- land in the big fight August 28, The admiralty announced the casualties as follows: “The light cruiser Arethusa lost Lieutenant Eric Westmacott and nine men killed, four men seriously wound- ed and Lieutenapt Robinson and eleven men wounded but not seri- ously. “The torpedo boat destroyer Lib- erty lost Lieutenant Commander Bar- tellot and six men killed; one man who since has died from wounds, one dangerously wounded, five seriously wounded and five slight wounded. “The destroyer Laurel suffered ten men killed, one has since died of his wounds; two dangerously wounded, seven seriously wounded, and two slightly wounded, “The Liberty, a British destroyer, was hit by a shell which shattered her mast, tore away part of her bridge, smashed-her searchlights and killed her commander Lieutenant Command. er Nigel K.
