The Russian official statement is-
sued last night says:
"The German troops which had oc-
cupied the roads leading to Warsaw In
the region north of the River Pllitza
have been repulsed and are now in
full retreat leaving their wounded on
the battlefield. The Germans have
abandoned the positions they had for-
tified in advance. The Russian troops
are energetically advancing along the
whole front.
"The enemy is still occupying the
left bank of the Vistula south of the
Pllitza as far as Sandomir.
"The Russians who had been gal-
lantly holding for eight days the re-
gion of Kozenltz under most favora-
ble conditions and heavy artillery
fire achieved considerable success on
Oct. 20 and their position on the left
bank of the Vistula is now secure.
"The attempts by the Austrians to
cross the River San below Przemysl
have been checked and the Russians
are assuming the offensive there.
"In the region south of Przemysl
are found the remains of all the Aus-
trian corps defeated in prior fights in
Galicia. Here the Russian troops are
energetically checking the advance of
numerous bodies of the enemy.
"There is no essential change la
East Prussia. We are at present in
touch with the enemy on a front cov-
ering over 400 versts (about 267
miles) from the lower Bzoura to the
elopes of the Carpathian Mountains."
Austrians Claiming Victory.
London Oct. 22. A Vienna of-
ficial announcement says: Yesterday
we captured in the Carpathians the
last point held by the Russians. No

Last night the clonic

eral persons who have been in the
habit of leaving their clothes on the
lines over night will now acquire the
habit of taking them in unless they
desire to contribute.

McAlester Okla. Oct. 21. Encour
aged by the success of the Oklahoma
delegation in defeating the amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill
preventing all future payments to Ok
lahoma Choctaw Indians until Missis
sippi Choctaws are enrolled leaders
of the tribe here are looking with re
newed interest to the delegate con
vention which has been called for
Wednesday of next week to be held
In McAlester.
The call for the convention which
has now been signed by fifty tribal
leaders asks for county conventions
to be held in the various counties of
the Choctaw nation Saturday October
24 when delegates will be named to
the general convention In McAlester.
At the general convention the tribe
will formally go on record against
the enrollment of the Mississippi
Choctaws and it is expected that
a delegation of ten or fifteen members
of the tribe will be sent to Washing
ton to aid Oklahoma congressmen in
their opposition to reopening the tribal
rolls. This prospective delegation will
also be instructed to urge an immedi-
ate per capita payment to Oklahoma
Choctaws which will even up the dis
tribution of funds with the Chlckasaws
who have recently been paid $100
each.
It is expected that appropriations of
$300 per capita to the Choctaws and
$200 each to the Chlckasaws will be
asked. Such a distribution it is point-
ed out would not only bring relief to
the Indians themselves but would be
of almost inestimable benefit to the
state since it would place in immedi-
ate circulation something netr $7600-
000 scattered through twenty-five or
thirty southeastern Oklahoma counties.
