Practically all the workers for the
Sinclair company are now out, it i>
said.
General Manager Daugherty for the
Sinclair company has been here sev-
eral time since the strike agitation
? tarted. When here yesterday he or-
dered that all the men be paid today
instead of waiting ur.til the 10th.
Rumors that Mexicans were being
employed on the leases to take the
places of strikers have spread through-
out the field, but investigation shows
this to be untrue. Several bunches
of Mexicans have arrived in Drum-
light but no efl'orti was made to work
them on the Sinclair property.
Under Sheriff Whitehead today dis-
charged a number of deputies who
had been commissioned the day be-
fore, believing that their services are
no longer needed.
The company is still maintaining a
heavy guard under the direction of
Constable Pat O'Tracy on its four
leases south of here for the announced
purpose of keeping junk thieves from
stealing supplies from the leases while
the strike is on. The strikers them-
selves are co-operating in this work,
claiming that if material is stolen they
will be blamed for it.
L. R. Gallagher, farm boss of the
Powell lease, denied that he had
drawn a gun on strikers who had
come to that lease to confer with
workers. This incident happened at
the S. Long lease where Art Wilson is
farm boss.

by the senate, was put out of the

will not come up until the regular
session in December. Plans to recon-
vene the democratic caucus and re-

FLIERS ATTACK
AUSTRIAN STATION
(By Associated Press.)
Wellington, Aug 3.- Germanj de-
hberately planned to plunge all Eu-
iope Into war and is responsible for
this continent being drenched in hu-
man Mood. This nation has a chance
t'> prevent this war but instead of
do:ng Ihis plotted to bring it abojt.
Proof that Germany had Austria's
ultimatum to Serbia foutieen hours
before it was delivered at Belgrade
has reached here in positive informa-
tion which is now in the hands' of
government officials. It is stated that
I oregin Secretary Zimmerman has
admitted ti.:s.
Germany ha:< maintained in p-.tblic
documents that she was not consulted
by Austria and knew nothing about
the ultimatum. Zimmerman's admis-
s "" ' taken to prove that Germany
did have knowledge in time to stop
the action.
This fact fits closely into a ncent
statement published declaring that
German and Austrian leaders had
conferred at Potsdam on July 5, 191J,
end decided to plunge Kurope into
wap.
At the time this agreement was en-
tered into Austria was to override and
nei/e all Serbia and hold that nation
province, giving Germany an
L-tiual voice in the dictation of its gov-
i rnmcnt and certain rr.il'tnry rights
end privileges. Germany was to keep
I'ussia from intefering with Aus-
tria s plans of conquest and to prevent
I- ranee from coming to Serbia's aid.
Neither of the central powers be-
lieved that England would be drawn
into the wai as 110 secret agreement
existed between that country and
i-.erbi:i When the plans fur conquest
failed to carry as Austria and Ger-
many had intended and it became evi-
( ent that T-runce and Russia would
join hands in defense of a small na-
tion, Germany decided to strika quick
:it Paris in the hopes of beating
I ranee. To do this German war 'ords
decided on the violation of Belgium
toil for a quick route to the Fcench
border.
The violation ef P 'Igium was not a
part of the original scheme of Ger-
many. but was adopted as an emer-
gency when the initial plans failed.

Rome, Aug. 3.—A number of large
aerial squadrons of Italian airplane:;
swooped over the military works and
arsenal at Pola yesterday. Many
bombs were dropped from the ma-
chines and considerable damage is
said to have been done to the mili-
tary works.
At Pola is located the chief Aus-
trian naval station in the Adriatic
sea, and the fact the fliers reached
this point and effectually attacked
the adjoining military property is re-
garded as significant.
