Oklahoma City, Feb. 11.—
What effect the new conserva-
tion oil law will have on the oil
industry in Oklahoma must now
be seen, as Governor Williams
today affixed his approval to the
bill and the measure immediate-
ly become the law, as it carries
the emergency
The governor said that he be-
lieved there was sufficient in the
bill to make it effective for the
results sought for by the advo-
cates of the bill. Following out
the principles as suggested dur-
ing a hearing on the new rneas
(ire that the government was
progressing to the control of
business, when contingencies
seemed to warrant it, he did
not feel that he wouid be dcing
his full duty in vetoing the
measure and thus foreclose at
onco on any possible aid to the
interests of the state and the
people. If interests involved
desire to go to the courts on any
constitutional questions that
might arise, they can do sO now
The governor signed the meas- ( ■
ure this morning after having,
thought it all over, and further
conferring with different per-
sons interestnd. He signed the
bill with a gold pen and after-
wards presented it to Frank
Breene, who was selected some
time ago by the corporation
commission to enforce rules in
the oil fields promulgated by the
commission following the order
establishing the ?5-cent oil price
in the Cushing field.

Washington, Feb. 11.—Publi-
cation by the state department
tonight of the texts of the notes
sent yesterday to Great Britain
and Germany respectively re-
vealed that both countries had
been warned in mo*t emphatic
terms] against menacinsrj the
vessells or the lives of American
citizens traversing the recently
proclaimed sea zones of war.
Germany was advised that the
United States "would be con-
strained to hold the imperial
government to a strict account-'
ability" for such acts of its |
naval authorities as might rejult
in the destruction of American J
vessels or the loss of American '
ive and that if "such a de
plorable situation should arise"
the American government would
"take any step it night be
necessary to take to safeguard
American lives and property."
To Great Britain the United
States pointed ou^ "the measure
of responsibility" which would
seem to be imposed on the
British government "for the
loss of American vessels and
lives in case of an attack by a
German force" if England sanc-
tioned the general misuse of the
American flag by British vessels
and thereby cast doubt upon the
valid character of neutral en-
signs.
