EXPECTING PROLONGED SIEGE
LONDON, Sept. 1.—(2:45 p. m.)—To-
day Is the anniversary of Sedan and it
is fully expected that the German army
in France will make a supreme effort to
celebrate the day in some' strikingly ef-
fective manner.
"Fighting has been resumed all along
the front, according to the official French
account, which admits that the German
right wing continues its advance. No
other details of this fighting have 'vet
come through and it is not known wheth-
er the British army has again been en-
gaged.
Acording to the Paris Temps, while
the German forces are exhausting them-
selves by their tremendous exertions f r
from their base, the French by their su-
perior transport facility, are able con-
stantly to bring, up fresh forces so as to
•wear the enemy down. In regard to the
eastern theater of the war reports arc
conflicting. From St. Petersburg the
continued success of the Russians against
the Germans and Austrlans is claimed
On tlve "other hand Berlin, which at last
is beginlnng to issue much more news
of the war, claims important victories
of the Austrian* over the Russians. It is
Impossible as yet to decide which of these
conflicting reports is correct, but it is
evident that fierce fighting is proceeding
in the neighborhood of Lublin.
FRANCE HAS LARGE RESERVE.
LONDON", Sept. 1.—(3:20 a. m.l—-
Eugene Cleinenceau, former premier of
France, is quoted by the Paris correspond-
ent of the Mail as saying:
"We are fighting for a great cause
which is worthy of great sacrifices. AN e
know our frontier would bo invaded
somewhere. We still are resisting and
hav«* many troops in reserve for the big
battle which will follow this one. The
Germans can not invest Paris. Its size is
too great.'
WOULD MOB SPIES.
PARIS, Sept. 1.—(3:80 a m.)—Three
German spies were brought uom Beau-
vnis. south of Amiens, last night hy a
rquad of French troopers. Thev were
the un4f:>rm of a Belgian officer,
the station the soldiers with difficulty
protected them from a mob. They
finally were conducted in safety
prison.
INVADERS SHORT OF FOOD.
LON*DON, Sept. 1.—A Times despatch
from Paris, speaking of the fighting in
the north, says:
"Throughout the fighting of the last
few days swarms of aeroplanes have
circled in the sky.
"The enemy's supply arrangements are
reported to have broken down, their men
in some cases subsisting on the flesh of
horses The British transport is working
admirably. The spiriLs of the French and
British troops are excellent."
FLEi£T AIDS MONTENEGRINS.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—(8:10 a. m.)—A
despatch to the Exchange Telegraph com-
pany from Cettinje states that the Aus-
trians suported by the Cattaro batter-
ies and their fleet, on Sunday reattacked
Mount Lovehen and Budua. The Mon-
tenegrin positions were being seriously
damaged when the British and French
fleet put in a timely apeparance, silenced
the batteries and forced the Austrian
ships to beat a hasty retr t.
"The Montenegrins under Prince
ter, Immediately began a counter-attack
on the Austrian /orces and repulsed
them. They killed 450 men and took many
prisoners, including several officers. Two
pieces of artillery also were captured."
GERMANS DEMAND WINE.
LONDON, Sept. 1.—(4:30 a. m.)—A Bel-
gian business man who has just arrived
In I.ondon said that food was already
very scarce In Brussels.
"Only about one person In a hundred
can afford milk and eggs," he said. "Peo-
ple who are rich enough to have milk
twice weekly are considered very lucky.
The Germans have directed the Suburb
St. Gillies to supply to the military four
hundred bottles of wine daily. Brussels
proper has to contribute daily 70,000
pound* of breaJ. white the suburb of

H. C. Sowders in .Tail oy Charge
of Abandoning His Minor
Children Here.
Marrying in haste brought several
varieties of trouble to H. C. Sowders,
in jail here on a charge of abandon-
ment of minor children. He was taken
from his new w'fe at Fort Smith. Ark.,
and brought here to face an irate for-
mer wife in court.
Sowders was divorced, with the us-
ual Oklaliama provision that he should
not marry again within six months.
He went to Fort Smith, Ark., immedi-
ately after the divorce proceedings,
si ixl before the legal time was up was
married. After considerable search,
his former wife located him and had
him brought back on a charge of
abandoning the children—Clyde, Mar-
gie and H. C. Jr., bright "youngsters
ranging from five to eight years in
age.
The humane society has intervened,
securing an order from the county
court for transfer to the children's
home at Pryor. They are to be de-
livered at Pryor tonight.
EDUCATIONAL DAY FOR

Teachers over the county have been
notif<ed by Superintendent H. C. Max-
well that Friday, September 18, is to
be educational day at the Tulsa coun-
ty fair. Every school is expected to
be represented, and the showing will
probably be the largest ever made by
Tulsa county schools
There will not be much of a school

IMPERIAL ORDER CHANGES
NAME OF CZAR'S CAPITAL
LONDON, Sept. 1.—A dispatch to the
Reuter Telegram company from St.
Petersburg says that by imeprial order
the city of St. Petersburg, capital of the
Russian empire since 112, will henceforth
be known as Petrograd. This change
eliminates the Teuton construction in the
name by which the chief city of Russia
has been known since It was founded by
Peter the Great In 1703.
Another army had taken Namur and
was heading for Paris, a little south.
The third had crossed the border near
Longwv and was pushing on.
A fourth army has taken Nancy, it was
reported and was well in French territory.
In addition there was believed to be a
large army near Colmar In Alsace inatfc
up of Austrlans to the number of 100,000
and Germans. The intention of the com-
mander of that force would undoubtedly
be to move across the border as soon as
French troops were withdrawn from Al-
sace.
These advances continued successfully
for any length of time would mean the
allies must fall back on the second line*
of fortifications—the forts running from
Amiens, fifty miles north of Paris, round
to I.e Fere, Laon, Rheims, Chalons and on
to t.angres.
Thvre i&. no doybt In the minds of mili-
tary experts that the rapid invasion of
Franca by tlie German armies will cause
alarm in the French capital within a few
days. The French aiid English armies are
believed to have fallen back on the first
line of French defense—the forts extend-
ing from Calais on the north to Belfort
on the south Including twelve or thirteen
great fortresses as shown on the map, and
some 140 fortified places of less military
value.
At this time, so far as can be learned
from contradictory despatches there are
four armies in France, all moving toward
Paris. The far northern armyjjwung
north in Belgium after leaving Brussels,
and was said, Thursday to have taken
Lille, which was supposed to be protected
by forts much stronger than those at
Liege.

Hi itish Foreign Secretary Makes
Favorable Report to
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—The depart-
ment of commerce announced today that
Sir Edward Grey, British secretary for
foreign affairs, has informed Ambassa-
dor Page of the appointment of a spec-
ial committee to deal with all ' ases on
their merits regarding the release of
g;ain cargoes diverted to England.
"This committee," said a statement
from Secrt tary Redfield, "is communi
eating with representatives of American
shippers and will be ready to hear from
such other representatives as desire to
be heard. It will hold daily sessions at
the board of trade, London, and all com-
munications should be addressed to the
committee's secretary, H. C. Money,
harbor department, board of trade. No
difficulty is anticipated in regard to the
release of cargoes, about which the ques-
tion of prize does not arise."
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 1.—Relief for
crude oil producers was forecast today
in the announcement of the National
Transit company that it would issue ne-
gotiable oil warrants in one hundred,
five hunred and one thousand barrel de-
nominations. It was expected the war-
rants would be accepted by banks and
thus enable producers to realize on crude
oil they have been unable to move be-
cause of the European war. Th<> system is i
a return to the plan in operation many |
years ago when speculation was a feature
of the oil market.

LONDON, Sept. 1.—(5:10 a. m.—A dis-
patch to the Times from St. Petersburg
plvee the following comment on the Rus-
Bian operations against the Austrlans:
"The Russian operations against the
Austrlans are considered by recognized
military writers to have reached the stage
whon derisive victories may b«i within
reach. The capture of the railroad cen-
ter. 40 miles south of Lemberg, involves
the rupture of railway communication

portions of Oalicia, except by a circuitous
route across the Carpathians. As a result

LONDON, Sept. 1.—(:40 a. m.)—A St.
Petersburg dispatch to the Reuter Tele-
gram company reports that surviving
members of the Arctic expedition headed
by Lieut. Sedoff, which left for tin-
north in 191?, have arrived at Archangel
The survivors stated that Lieut. Sedoff
died in a vain attempt to reach the north
pole. The expedition wintered in 1912
and 1913 in newly discovered territory
and later Sedoff proceeded to Franz
Josef land whence he Started for the pole,
accompanied by two sailors. The leader
fell 111 on the way and died.
Only Wealthy Persons Could
i'ay Cabin Fare of From
$100 to 87,000.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—The Italian
steamer, l'rincessa Mafalda, chartered by
John E. Jones, American consul at Ge-
noa, at a cost of $184,000, reached New
York today from Italy with 388 wealthy
Americans aboard and unossupled cab-
ins with space for 200 more. Some of
the passengers paid $7,000 for a cabin;
none paid less than $100 and the average
cost to all aboard was approximately
1600.
The presence of empty cabins was ex-
plained by the declaration that, although
there were many Americans in Italy who
wanted to return home, they were unwill-
ing to pay tho fares demanded for the
voyage.
Reaching port at almost the saipe hour
as the Princessa Mafalda, was the Hol-
land-American liner, Ryndam, with 1.26G
