BASIS of ASSESSMENT
Under New System Individual
Cards for All Property
Owners Must Be Made Out.
Members of the advisory committee
in charge of the fourth liberty loan
campaign met Thursday afternoon for
the purpose of apportioning the
Cleveland county quota to the dis-
tricts of the county. Announcement
of the quotas for various parts of
the county will be made Saturday,
according to Clyde Pickard, chair-
"s^nnn of the committee.
Members of the advisory committee
are R. F. Ellinger of Noble, S. Mah-
ler of Moore, E. L. Cralle, H. L. Mul-
drow and D. L. Larsh. all of Norman,
and J. Sherman of Lexington. At the
meeting of the advisory committee
assesments will be made on all tnc
districts according to the property
valuation in each district. The ad-
visers will also appoint committee
chairmen in each district, and it will
be the duty of these committees to
assess each property owner in their
respective districts.
One great task of the advisory
committee is to provide cards for
every property owner in the county.
On each card will be written th#
name of one owner and the amount
in bonds which he is to subscribe. The;
advisory committee has a
the persons who subscri-^u to the
third liberty loan, but since some of
these are children, they will not all
be expected to subscribe to the fourth
liberty loan.

TWENTY DISTRICTS GO
"OVER TOP" IN DRIVE
Report on County by Chairman
Clement Shows That Quotas
^ Were Oversubscribed.
Twenty districts in the county over-
subscribed their quotas in the Red,
Cross drive, according to figures
shown in a detailed report of the
amount raised in the county, sub-
mitted by T. E. Clement, chairman of
the committee in charge of the drive.
Norman raised $7,678.51 and her quo-
ta was $6,000. Several other dis-
tricts subscribed as much as $50 or
$75 more than their quotas.
The total amount raised in the
drive thus far is $14,293.29. Although
the quota was $18,000, fourteen of the
districts have as yet made no report.
Mr. Clement is expecting reports any
time from these districts.
Districts 19-20, 24, 29 (Norman),
32, 33. 34, 35, 36, 52, 55, 56, 59, 60, 61,
62, 65, 67, 68, 69 and 70 went over
with good subscriptions. Districts
from which reports have not yet been
received are Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 15, 16,
17, 40, 43, 44, 45, 46, 57 and 66. It is
expected that a number of these, in
spite of the delay, will be among the
oversubscribing districts when the re-
ports are finally made.

Tenth Installment of 2,250 Men
Registered Here September 12
The 1918 football season in the uni-
versity will open Saturday afternoon
at 3 o'clock on Boyd field when the
Sooners play the Post field eleven
The game is expected to create much
interest b«cause th Post field team i
composed of many college stars, and
because freshmen will play on the
varsity team for the first time.
For the last two weeks a large
number of university freshmen and
the letter men who are here have
been practicing every afternoon from
3 to 6 o'clock. Indications are that
Coach Bennie Owen will have a fas'
gridiron squad this yea>*. despite tlv
fact that the army continues to cal!
on the football men.
William McKinley, center of last
year's freshmar eleven, who was ex-
pected to make the varsity this seas-
i on, has enlisted in the aviation corps
of the army. Earl Light, tackle, and
Dorsey Boyle, halfback on the var
sity team last year, were called in the
draft this week and have returned
home for a visit before going to
training camp. All other players now
out for the eleven, however, expect
to remain in school till after Thanks-
giving.
A schedule has been arranged in
I which all long railroad trips are
eliminated. In the original schedule
the Sooners were to play the Central
I State Normanl at Edmond Saturday,
that has been changed and the Post
field team substituted. It is nbt prob-
able that the university will play the
Central normal team, according to
present plans. Two or three dates
are left open in order that the Soon
ers may meet army teams.
The letter men who are playing on
the team are Lawrence Haskell, left
end, Dewey Luster, quarterback, Earl
Deacon, tackle, Alfred Douglas, cen-
ter and Ross Johnston, tfho has had
two years varsity experience.

Opposed to Move.
ALLIES ADVANCE ON FORTY-MILE FRONT
Fighting by American and French West of Ver-
dun Is Supplemented by Sudden Blow
West of Cambrai.
LONDON, Sept. 27.—Bulgaria has offered an
armistice, it was announced here today.
The announcement came in a dispatch trom * o-
penhagen statins H was officially reported from Ger-
many that Bulgarian Premier Malinoff had proposed an
armistice to the entente.
Berlin has learned, the dispatch said, that Malinoft s
proposal for an armistice was not supported by the other
members of the cabinet or Czar Frediand and caused
srreat dissatisfaction throughout the country.
Strong measurers have been taken to support the
Bulgarian front, it was stated. A counter-movement
acainst Malinoff's proposal already has been started in
Sofia, according to a dispatch from that city by way ol
Berlin and Copenhagen.
Malinoff is leader of the anti-war party in Bul-
garia and "itterlv opposed Bulgaria's entrance into the
war before he became head of the government. When he
was freely predicted that he would organize some move
for a separate peace.
GREATEST BATTLE IN PROGRESS
The greatest series of battles in history of the world was
being fought today. Practically every allied nation was involved.
Progress was reported on every one oi the active tronts.
With the Americans and French advancing steadily on th
forty-mile front between llheims and Verdun, where they at-
tacked yesterday the British suddenly launched an offensive on
a wide front west of Cambria this morning- .. . ,
The allied offensive front was thus completely , linked up
from north of Ypres to east of the Moselle, a distance ol more than
275 miles—forming the greatest battle line in ™'1*,ary annua
BULGARIA OFFERS ARMISTICE
The scope of the allied victories in the Balkans and 1 alestine
was growing hourly. The Bulgarian defeat had become so crush-
ing that Czar Ferdinand's country was reported today to have ot-
fered an armistice. For several days it has been reported that
Bulgaria was on the verge of a revolution. RviHaVl anf\
Bulgarian territory was rapidly being overrun by British and
Greek troops, Veles was unofficially reported captured, and the
important centers of Uskub and Stroumitza were in danger ot oc-
cupation. Capture of Uskub would completely isolate large por-
tios of the Bulgarian armies in south Serbia, southwestern Bul-
I garia and Northwestern Greece.
Eight hundred of the 1,020 ques-
tionnaires sent out by the local draf
board have already been filled out and
returned by the men to whom they
were sent. Officials of the (raft
board expect most of the question
naires to be returned this week, be-
cause the registrants are allowed on-
ly seven days in which to fill, out. and
return their questionnaires, and Mon
day is the last of the save days.
Thirty men, twenty clerks and ten
legal advisers each day are helping
the men fill out their questionnaires
in the courthouse. The district and
count courtrooms are tilled every day
with registrants seeking aid, and on
Thursday an unusually large number
came ad kept every available clerk
busy. The same kind of work is be-
ing done in Lexington, Noble and
Moore, and a great many question-
aires have been received by the lo-
cal draft board from men in these
towns.
In this issue is given an addition-
al installment of the list of 2,247 men
who registered in Cleveland county
September 12. The number preceding
the name in each case is the serial
number assigned by the local board.
