Kansas City.—What authorities say
Will be the greatest round-up of Indus-
trial Workers of the World agitators
undertaken in the middle west Is on
in Kfnsas under the leadership of fed-
eral agents and with the co-operation
ef state and local officials.
In the first raid, at Augusta, Kan.,
twenty-two were arrested, but unoffi-
cial reports Indicate numerous other
fcrrests in the El Dorado and Augusta
oil districts, considered the focal point
of agitation that led to the placing of
armed guards about oil properties.
Federal officers have Intimated tho
total arrests may run Into the hun-
dreds. In preparation for the round-
up Oscar Schmitz, a special agent of
the department of Justice In Kansas
City was sent to Augusta to construct
a large bull pen In which to house the
prisoners.
Every man arrested will be exam
!ned to determine whether he evaded
the draft registration, officers said
while those who can show they are
not members of the Industrial Work
ers of the World will be released.
Those who cannot show they have
business in the oil fieUU will bo
handled by local or state authorities,
while any considered to be dangerouB
citizens will be dealt with by the gov
•rnment.
The Augusta raid was made upon a
tent, headquarters of the organiza-
tion In that section. Much literature
containing anti-war propaganda was
confiscated ana several leaders are
among the men arrested. Five secret
iervice men from Kansas City are as
listing in the raids. State and local
officials are making their arrests on
vagrancy charges.
Tho activities of agitators In the oil
fields of Kansas have been under ob-
servation by department of Justice in
vestigators for several weeks. The
whipping of Industrial Workers of the
World members at Tulsa, augmented
the Industrial Workers of the World
forcoB from Oklahoma and stickers
bearing the picture of an angry cat
and the word "Sabotage" appeared.
This was followed by several myster-
ious fireB and the placing of the arm-
ed guards.
NO MORE SHIPS TO RUSSIA
Until Anarchy Is Suppressed and
Stable Government Established.
Washington.—No new shipments of
•upplies will be permitted to go from
the United States to Russia until the
situation In that country clears. The
American government, before allow-
ing the export of goods already on the
docks, wants to know Into whose
hands they will fall on their arrival.
The cessation of shipments Is tem-
porary only. If a stablo government is
formed which the United States can
recognize. If the Bolshevik! gain con-
trol and pursue their program calling
for peace with Germany, the embar-
go will be permanent. A protracted
civil war also would work to keep the
embargo tight, as the United States
then would fear that supplies might go
to the Bolshevik! faction.
The provisional Russian govern-
ment was given credits amounting in
all to $325,000,000, ef which $191,000,-
000 already has been advanced. Much
of this money has been spent for sup-
plies now awaiting shipment and the
Russians have been given vessels for
Its transport.

this city are not accounted for.
i Alva E. Smith, so-called "boy bank-
er," has been missing from Oklahoma
City. He was last seen in Fort

daughter. Reports havo reached Sher-
iff G. E. Johnson, who is seeking him
to serve writs of garnishee as a re-
sult of the financial tangle, that he
I is going on a visit to Mexico. Smith
is president of the First Mortgage
Cattle Loan Company.
Until less than two weeks ago he
was president of the Western National
bank. It has deevloped that he was
forced to sell the bank at a great loss
to the American National Bank, fol-
lowing a visit of Federal Bank In-
spector Filson of Guthrie, who was
called in on report of an official of
tha Western National Bank itself.
A dozen banks of this and other
states are holding paper of the First
Mortgage Cattle Loan Company,
against which suit waB brought in
the United States district court, alleg-
ing that the company is wrecked and

mander In chief had bunded his hopes

Attacking over a front of thirty two
miles, extending from the Scarpe riv-

Marshal Haig has made one of the

'Lloyd-George Talks Plainly To Amerl
can Commissioners.
London.—Prompt action by the
United States in sending to France
huge bodies of troops is imperative if
the allies' hopes of winning the war
are to be realized soon. So Premier
Lloyd-George told the Americans and
British assembled here at the first
session of the war conference, for
which the commission headed by E.
M. House was sent to England.
The premier told the mission that
the collapse of Russia and the revers-
es of Italy made It even more Impera-
tive than before that the United States
send as many troops as possible
across the Atlantic as early as pos-
sible.
The premier said he wished to rec-
ognize the eager earnestness with
which the people of the United States
are throwing themselves into the great
task. He expressed absolute confi-
dence that the great democracies,
now marching shoulder to shoulder,
will utterly overthrow the menace
which threatened the liberty of the
world.
The American representatives were
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, chief of statT;
Admiral William S. Benson, chief of
naval operations; Thomas Nelson Per-
kins, member of the priority hoard;
Dr. Alonzo Taylor, representing the
food controller; Brainbridge Colby, of
the United States shipping board;
Oscar T. Crosby, assistant secretary
nf the treasury and Vance McCormlck,
thalrman of the war trade board.

Triumphant in their brilliant stroke
against the Hindenburg line, British
troops are pushing on Cambrai, now
only three miles away, lying to the
east of the old line midway between
Arras and St. Quentin. Here, having
taken the towns of Marcoing, Anneux,
Gralneourt and Novelles the victor-
ious armies took the village of Fon-
taine Notre Dame, less than three
miles from Cambrai, the great rail-
road junction.
In two days the British have gained
as much ground a3 in the first four
months of the battle of the Somme.
The advance is from five to eight
miles.
At the same time the French troops

One of the Germans drowned while
being transferred to a destroyer and
another died. The latter was buried
with military honors.
There was a report in naval circles
that approximately forty men; includ-
ing five officers, were taken off the
submarine. If this were true, it was
pointed out, the vessel undoubtedly
was one of the largest to be operated
by the Germans.
The action occurred In the war zone
several days ago and the suhmarine
went down when one destroyer was
attempting to tow her to port.
Henryetta, Okla.—Three trainmen
were killed, and three passengers
hurt when the Frisco's express, The
Meteor, out of St. Louis, traveling at
high speed, plunged into obstructions
placed on the track ten miles south
of here.
J. S. Robertson, of Sapulpa, engi-
neer of the train, stayed with his
engine when he saw the obstructions,
steel bars chained to the sides of
the rails, and died as a hero.
The engine ploughed Into the trap
at terrific speed, then toppled over
a steep embankment and rolled 20
feet into a hollow. The engineer and
a student fireman and the regular fire-
man were buried under the great ma-
chine.
The dead are:
J. S. Robertson, engineer, Sapulpa,
Okla.
W. H. Wyre, student fireman,
Bert Ford, Sherman, Texas, fireman.
A posse of 100 sheriffs, deputies,
home guardsmen and state prison offi-

Officials who made a hasty investi-
gation declared in their belief that
the wreck was plotted and executed
by I. w. W. men who have been
active In this section of the state for
weeks.
Robertson had been fifteen years
an engineer for the Frisco, and was
the oldest engine-driver, in point of
service, in the employ of the rail-
road.
The Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf de-
pot at Henryetta burned to the
ground a few hours before.
Eighteen alleged members of the I.

of threats to destroy Missouri, Okla-

TEN KILLED IN EXPLOSION
Infernal Machine Explodes In Milwau-
kee Police Station.
Milwaukee, Wis.—Ten persons are
known to have been killed, a number
injured, and several are believed to
be missing when a bomb exploded
with great force in the central pollca
station.
The bomb was taken tq the station
by an Italian who discoverd it in the
basement of the Madopna Del Pom-
peii Catholic church in the third
ward, an Italian settlement. Detective
Bart Maloney placed the bomb, which
was enclosed In a black box on a
table in the waiting room, while ha
took the man into the office of Lieu-
tenant Flood.
Detectives were on the second floor
of the building at the time respond-
ing to roll call. When they came
down the stairway and noticed the
black box one picked it up to examine
it. The bomb then exploded.
The lower floor of the building was
shattered and every window through-
out the structure was broken by the
shock. It is believed that many of
the prisoners may have perished.
