ing the permanent Interests of the

There Is no need for the country to
feel panic stricken, the president de-
clared, because It stands on friendly
relations with the world. He spoke of
the United States "as a nation too big
and generous to be exacting, but yet
courageous enough to defend its rights
and the liberties of its people where-
ever assailed or Involved.”
Outlining the defense program, the
president said it Included an increase
In the standing army, the training ^
within the next three years of 400,000 | j
citizen soldiers to be raised in annual
forces of 13.1,000 and the strengthen-
ing of the National Guard. He laid
particular emphasis on the need of
ample equipment.
The president declared that the
navy already is a "very great and ef-
ficient force, but that in order to bring
it to a point of “extraordinary force
and efficiency," a definite policy must
be adopted and hastened and an ade-
quate supply of men and equipment
provided.
In addition to speaking on national
defense the president attacked men
who love other nations better than
their own and men who stir up relig-
ious and sectarian antagonism. He
declared that such men should be
"ailed to n reckoning.”

New York.—The Ancona sailed from
New York for Naples on October 17
She had on board 1,245 Italian reserv-
ists and a general cargo. She arrived
at Naples October 29 and was due to
sail from Naples for New York No-
vember 14.
The Ancona was built at Belfast In
1904. She had a gross tonnage ol
8,210, was 482 feet In length and fifty-
eight beam.
For several months before Italy’s
entrance In the war the Ancona was
engaged In carrying home Italian re-
servists from this country and sup-
plies for the Italian government. On
one of her trips from New York to
Naples late in August, last year the
Ancona was stopped by the British at
Gibraltar and twenty-four Germans and
one Austrian were taken off the ship.
Late last summer the Ancona left hew
for Italy with 75,000 bushels of wheat,
2,000 tons of hay and 500 horses foi
the Italian government. On the same
voyage she carried 300 Italians in the
steerage who went back because it
was at the time they could not get
work on the New York subway.
When the Ancona left New York on
her last voyage from here on Octobei
17, she was in command of Captain
Pietro Massardo. All of her officers,
engine room force and members of the
crew were Italians.
William Hartfleld, general manage!
of the Italian line, characterized the
sinking of the Ancona as "an unneces-
sary crime” and "absolute murder.”
He immediately cabled the Naples of-
fice of his firm asking for all informa-
tion regarding the disaster.
Although he had no list of her pas-
sengers, Mr. Hartfleld said the Ancona
on her last few voyages to this country
had carried 300 or 400 passengers,
among them a number of American
citizens In the first cabin and in the
3teerage. Most of her passenger list,
Mr. Hartfleld said, had been made up
of women and children. He believed
she carried a large number of women
and children on her present voyage.
The Ancona, he added, carried a
crew of 160 men. At no time, said Mr.
Hartfleld, did the Ancona carry guns
or munitions of war, because it was
against the rules of the company to
carry war munitions on the same ves-
sels with passengers.
The Ancona has been in the Italian
line service for six years and without
her cargo was valued at more than
$1,000,000.
The Ancona played a prominent part
In the rescue of passengers from the
burning Fabre line Sant ’Anna in mid-
Atlantic last September 12.

London—The defeat of the Greek
government in the chamber of depu-
ties and the consequent resignation of
the Zaimis cabinet is the latest sensa-
tion afforded by the Balkans.
While, of course, it was understood
that Eleutherios Venizolos. the former
premier had it In his power to turn
the government out whenever he so de-
sired, having the majority in the cham-
ber at his back, the fall of Zaimis came
unexpectedly ns it was believed that
the leader of the majority had decided
to accord the premier sufficient sup-
port to enable him to remain In office
tor the present at least.
As so often happens, however, a vote
of confidence wns demanded by the
government on a matter of minor im-
portance—some difference of opinion
between M. Venlzelos and the minis-
ter of war, General Yanakitsas, on
military proposals—and the govern-
ment was defeated by a vote of 147 to
114.
By banding the resignation of his
cabinet to King Constantine, M. Zaim-
is again places on the king the respon-
sibility of deciding the future policy
of hi scountry. In London the first
In.ipresston was that the defeat of the
government would mean the imme-
diate recall of M. Venlzelos and the
fulfilment of the original agreement
between him and the allied powers to
go to the assistance of Serbia. It was
rumored later however, that Parlia-
cient would adjourn.
The Law Laid Down To England.
Washington.—The United States in
its latest note to Great Britain cover-
ing exhaustive British interference
with American trade since the begin-
ning of the European war. declares
that the so called blockade instituted
by the allies against enemy countries
on March 11, Is "ineffective, Illegal and
indefensible.” Notice Is served that
the American government “cannot
submit to ttie curtailment of its neu-
tral rights,” and it cannot "with com-
placency suffer further subordina-
tion of its rights and interests.”
Ambassndor Page, to whom the note
wns sent by special messenger for de-
livery to the London foreign office, was
instructed by Secretary Lansing “to
impress most earnestly” upon the
British government that the United
States "might Insist that the rela-
tions between (t and his majesty’s
government be governed, not by a pol-
icy of expediency, but by those estab-
lished rules of international conduct
to which Great Britain in the past has
held the United States to account
when the later nation was a bellig-
erent engaged In a struggle for nation-
al existence.”
KITCHENER GOES TO QUIET INDIA
More Trouble In Prospect for the Brit-
ish Empire.
Washington.—Earl Kitchener’s ulti-
mate mission (luring his mysterious
absence from the British war office is
said by confidential information re-
ceived here to be in India, where, ac-
cording to the same information, Brit
lsh rule is confronted vith a more
serious state of unrest than has gen-
erally been known outside of British
official circle:;.
Coupled with repeated rumors of ac
ttvltles of German agents fomenting
discontent among the native popula
tion of India have come reports of dis-
satisfaction in Egypt also ascribed to
the same source.
Since the Turks failed to cut the
Suez canal, mainly through the prompt
arrival of Colonial troops from New
Zealand, and Australia, It has been re-
ported that agents from Constantinople
and Berlin have been conducting a
persistent propaganda among the na-
tives.
German Seam Roller Goes On.
London.—The Bulgarians have occu-
pied Nish, tlie Serbian war capital
which gives them complete control of
the railroad from Prahovo on the Dan-
ube and thus opens a through route
for the central powers to Sofia and
Constantinople. In addition the Bul-
garian and German main armies have
effected a junction at Krivivlr, so that
the campaign which has been some-
what slower than expected, probably
will move at a faster pace.
American Wounded in Guatemala Fight.
Omaha.—A letter from M. F. Eni-
bredoz, a Guatemalan, to R. H. Secord,
an Omaha railroad mnn, tells of the
narrow escape from death of Dr. C. F.
Secord, brother of the Omaha man.
The story is that Dr. Secord, with gov-
ernment troops sent to suppress a
Guatemalan revolution, was wounded
In a tight October 25. A few hours
later a relief party found him with a
wounded soldier, tied to a stake in the
middle of an ant hill, where it is de-
clared they would have been devoured
i within a few hours

I Sale Of Alotted Indian Lands.
Probably the largest sale of allotted
Indian lands ever known will be held
in 15 different districts in eastern Ok-
lahoma under the supervision of the
United States government, beginning
November 29 and closing December 4.
Five hundred and thirty-five farms
will be offered for sale, comprising
approximately 50,000 acres of land.
The farms are divided into tract*
ranging from 10 to 640 acres each.
The appraised price per acre range&
from $1 to $20 depending on the grade
of the land, the number of acres till-
able and the improvements thereon.
The land is now owned by Indiana
whose restrictions have been removed
by the department. In the majority
of cases the Indians own more land
’?’29 00 than they can properly care for. Th&
money derived from the sale will b»
expended in improving the home-
steads. The sale should result in.
great good to the eastern part of the
state, for each piece of land sold will
bring a new settler or home owner, and
practically all of the money will bo
spent in this part of the state in put-
ting improvements on the Indian lands.
The government will make an effort
to sell this land to bona fide farmers-
and discourage its sale to speculators.
The land will be sold on the pay-
ment plan, so as to make it easy for
the farmer who wants to establish a
home and build up a farm in Okla-
homa. A payment of 25 per cent is
required when the bid is made, and
terms will be given on the remainder.
Sales will be made in the following
towns on the date designated: Vinita,.

tion taxes on oil and gas alone was col-
lected Oct. 30 by State Auditor E. B.
Howard and deposited with the state
treasurer. This is the largest collec-
tion of taxes lit a single day since the
beginning of the present state admin-

Attack on Tax Law.
As the result of a recent conference
between Fred Branson, county attorney
for Muskogee county, and tho attorney
general, it now appears certain that
the Muskogee 38 per cent tax penalty
case, as passed on by the district court
of that county, will be appealed to the
higher court for final decision. The
case is one of state-wide Interest, as
many counties will be affected by the
ultimate outcome. The case involves
the validity of the tax measure enacted'
by the last legislature.
