(Correspondent.)
Versailles Oct. 30. I4 is rnticipat-
ed today that the armistice term to
Germany will be similar to those of-
fered to Bulgaria. It is thought how-
ever that extra precautions will be
necessary and some haroher clauses
may be inserted in the official text.
The international conference is un-
derstood to have agreed on the main
political points of the armistice. The
i terms must be severe it is agreed
owing to the fact that Germany start-
ed the war the renewal of which
must be ntaJe impossible. '
Col. E. M. House personal friend

has been given over to the military

Any differences as to tho applica-

COUNTY COUNCIL
HEAD IS DEPOSED
BY STATE BODY
Holdenville Banker Charged with
Buying Liberty Bonds Below
Market Price; To Set
Examples.
Oklahoma Cily Oct. 30. One of
the most stringent measures yet
adopted by the Oklahoma State Coun-
cil of Defense was the passage of a
resolution on October lfi by which
G. L. Benson of Holdenville chair-
man of the 'Hughes County Council
of Defense was deposed from office
and dismissed from Mm executive
committee of the county council. It
had come to the knowledge of the
state council thn resolution stated
that Benson had admitted purchasing
$1200 to $1100 worth of Liberty
bonds at from SO to 01 cents on the
dollar. The council resolved that
any person who purchases Liberty
bonds at less than their market
value is injuring future sale of the
bonds and doing an unpatriotic act
and whereas members of the execu-
tive committees of county councils
of defenses are expected to set an
example in patriotic work it was
urged that the widest publicity be
given to the dismissal of Benson that
purchasers may understand that prof-
iteering in these bonds will not be
tolerated. The resolution asked that
members of the Ilugehs County Coun-
cil of Defense bo notified of the re-
moval of their chairman from office
and instructed to select some other
member as chairman.
At the same meeting the Blaine
County Council of Defense as at
present constituted was dissolved
"on account of general inability to
take charge of county work."
Every newspaper in Oklahoma has
been notified of this action on the
part of the state council.
