LIMITED MEN 10
LEAVE WEDNESDAY
R. F. Cothrum Volunteera for 8peclal
Call; 63 Men Left in Limited
Clasa of 1918 Registrants.
Four men will leave liere Wednes-
day morning at 8:19 for Syracuse Re-
cruit Camp, Syracuse, New York, as
this county's quota on a special call
for limited class men to go into guard
and fire companies. The men named
last week by the local board will fill
the caU with the exception of one
man. This change was made because
R. P. Cothrum of Cordell who was in
the limited class, volunteered for the
call. He will probably displace Alfred
Wyatt of Sentinel, who will become
an alternate for the call. The other
three men who arc to go are C. N.
Janzen, Korn, John Walker, Sentinel,
and Jacob Lettkeman, Korn. Alter-
nates besides Wyatt are Edward Matz,
Cordell, and Arthur Pendergraft,
Rocky.
The men have been called to appear
before the board Thursday evening,
and wil lthen receive their instructions
and be prepared for entralnment the
next day.
This call is the first call for limited
men to bo rectlved until this time.
There are yet sixty-three men left in
th limittd class of the 1917 registrants.
> Although there was an inquiry once
by the office of the adjutant general
for volunteers from the limited class
there is no information available now
regarding any coming call in this
class.
One examination was conducted Fri-
day from the limited class, I. M. Young
of Cordell being called for re-examina-
tion. However he was not able to
qualify for general service and was
kept in the limited group.
It is a remarkable" fact that there
have been only two of the 1918 regis-
trants placed in the limited cl%ss,
While the percentage of the* 1917 class
who failed to qualify for general ser-
vice was much larger. There are none
in the limited class who can qualify
for general service under the new phy-
sical examination regulations, since
the physical ^records are kept by the
local board and reviewed whenever it
seems necessary.
TWO DIVORCES.
Two divorces were filed in district
court the latter part of last week,
the husband being the plaintiff in
each case. Edward Pecinovsky filed
suit for divorce from his wife, Anton-
ia; stating in his petition that they
were married at Woonsocket,- 11. I„
on September 16 1907. They have
three children, aged nine, seven and
one years respectively. The plaintiff
states that she abandoned him and
went to Caddo with the Intention of
never returning, taking the children
with her. He states that she prefers
the company of other men to him,
and that she plans for him to be tak-
en into army service and then to get
charge of his property and sell it de-
frauding the children. He also charg-
es cruelty.
W. N. Ferrell filed suit for divorce
against E. J. Ferrell. They were mar-
ried at Dill, November 27, 1911, there
being no children. In February of
1917 he alleges that she abandoned
him.
MRS. ROGERS DEAD.
Mrs. Mary E. ogers, mother of Cary
M. Rogers of Cordell, died Friday
morning at Hobart where she had
spent the past six or eight months
with her daughter, Mrs. Auld, follow-
ing an extended suffering with heart
trouble, that being the cause of death,
which came at 7:45.
The funeral was held Saturday
morning at 11 o'clock at the Ural
cemetery, south of Elk City, near
where Mrs. Rogers formerly lived, and
in which community some of her chil-
dren still live.
Mrs. Rogers lacked but half a
month being sixty-six years of age.
She leaves a husband and nine chil-
dren to mourn her foss. One child, a
boy, is dead. The children were all
present at the funeral with the excep-
tion of a son who is in army service in
France. The children surviving her
are: Mrs. Sam Hays and Mrs. Fees of
Enid, Mrs. Auld of Hobart,- William,
wh,Q is ^erving witk the .American
forces in France, Hugh, ^ad and Sim,
who live near Elk City, John, of
Leedey, and Cary of Cordell.

Meeting Saturday of County Excise
Board Adjourned to Meet Again
Thursday of This Week.
.James Wilson, director of the ex-
teusios work and boys and girls clubs
of the department of agriculture in
Oklahoma, was here Saturday, and
went before the county excise board
in an effort to have them cooperate
with the department by securing a
county farm demonstration agent for
the coming year.
The board which consists of the
county clerk, treasurer, superintend
ent, assessor, attorney and judge and
the chairman of the county commis-
sioners, had met to transact their
regular excise work, but this was
delayed until Thursday of this week
because the public service / reports
were not all in.
Mr. Wilson made a strong appeal
for the co-operation of the county
with the federal government, and
ALLIES STEADILY
German Line Again North of Ohrcq
River; Germans Bring Heavy Ar-
tillery Into Futile Defense.
With the American Army on the
Aisne-Marne Front, . July 28.—The
German line is again north of the
Ourcq river and Fere-en-Tardenois,
which has been entered by French
troops, is at the mercy of the Allies.
The tightening of the flanks holds pro-
mise that the retreat Will continue.
The line along the greater part of
the bottom of the Soissons-Rheims sa-
lient has been pushed forward in some
places as much as five miles.
The Germans are bringing into play
their artillery in foroe to check the
plunges of tho Franco-American
•troops. The Americans have played
a billiant part in the advance, which
included the occupation of Sergy on
the north bank of the river and a
number o£ small viila^p.
The line tonight follows the Ourcq

TRANSFER UNTIL ELECTION.
Tim T. Warren, county registrar,
stated Saturday that transfers from
one precinct to another for voting
could be done by tjie recinct registrar
until election, whenever the voter was
qualified to vote in b}ie precinct to
which he wishes a transfer. This only
means that any who have lived in a
ward thirty days or more, and who
have until this time neglected to have
their old registration certificate can-
celled by the registrar in the precinct
where they last voted may yet have
that done and transfer to their new
prcinct.
Mr. Warren also announced that P.
L. Cook would displace J. H Caldwell
as registrar in ward three of Cordell.
No figures are available as to the
number registered and transferred dur-
ing the ten day registration period
which ended Saturday.
A marriage license was issued Fri-
day by the office of the court clerk to
Herman Horn, 36, of Cordell and Mar-
garet Klaassen, 21, of Clinton. Oh Sat-
urday a license was issued to Hoyt
L. Brite, 19, of Rocky and Alta Nel-
son, 16 of Dill.
raoooo is Shi
one in the state of Oklahoma which
had not cb-operated for the coming
year. In furtherance of the plan of
the national government to Increase
agricultural production, food produc-
tion, and affiliated industries to the
highest possible efficiency during the
war, and for all time, the state de-
partment is asking the co-operation
of each cbunty. The president and
his advisors have approved and laid
out the plan for a national campaign
in this direction, and the ederal gov-
enrmenthas provided the largest part
of the expense, so that the citizens
of each county must bear their share
of the federal cost, whether or not
an agent is secured.
Persons interested in the securing
of a county agent have made the fol-
lowing summary of the cost to the
county: Thn fir<5'{}ral* government
pays a half of the salary of the agent,
which is $75, besides making an al-
lowance of $400 pei< year for ex-
penses. This leaves $75 a month for
the county to pay—the. same as an
ordinary school teacher or deputy.
This has been figured out to approp-
imately cost a man who pays $500
taxes three cents, or who pays $5,000
thirty cents.
There has been a great deal of in-
terest in this work already aroused,
and a large number of people are fa-
voring the employment of an agent
for the coming year.

CLAIM ALLIED FAILURE.
Amsterdam, July 23.—The German
public is being told by all the German
military experts that the French and
American 'ambitious attempt to break
through" which, in Baron von Arden-
ne'B words, "might have caused a de-
cisive change in the military situa-
tion," on the west front, "has failed
because of'the famous German sys-
tem of an elastic defense."
It is explained Uiat the enemy only
obtained initial success, due to the
fact that General von Boehm's right
flank of twenty-five miles was not
strongly held and his main strength
lay on tho eastern flank. Significant-
ly, however, is Baron von Ardenne's
admission that Chateau Thierry and
Soissons were the two cornerstones
of the German defense and that the
former has been lost to the foe, "who
was aided by not inconsiderable Amer-
ican auxiliary forces..'
The Wolff Bureau's correspondent
at the front does not fail to dwell on
the "excessively severe" losses suf-
fered by the Americans. The losses,
he says, were due to the Americans be-
ing mixed for the first time with
"savages and negroes, instead of with
white French troops, as heretofore."
He says "at many points mountains of
American dead lie in front of our po-
sitions."
Survivor of Somme Proves Greatest
Chautauqua Feature; Program
Patriotic Throughout.
A. II. O'Connor, one of the eleven
survivors of England's Senior Regi-
ment of First Life Guards, is the most
interesting person on the program of
the Cordell chautauqua, which starts
Saturday of this week. He is the
most interesting aud in greatest de-
mand because he is one of only eleven
men who have seen the war as he
could see it, who has lived through
the vortex of hellishness and horror
out of an entire regiment, and who
lived to tell the story.
With his left arm disabled by a
bayonet thrust and left in No Man's
Land between the trenches, a German
soldier struck him so violently on
the chin with the butt of his gun that
that he was left for dead; picked up
later, he was unconscious for ten
weeks and in a hospital for seven
months. O'Connor was personally
decorated for bravery by King George
and pensioned by the British govern-
FAMILY REUNION.
Fifty children, grandchildren and
iother relatives surprised Mr. and
Mrs. R. Parker of Dill, Sunday, Sat-
urday having been the eighty-fourth
birthday of Mrs. Parker. Mr. and
Mrs. Parker did not expect visitors
and had begun Sunday dinner, when
the host of relatives began pouring
in, bringing great baskets of especial-
ly- fixed dinners, and making it
a day of enjoyment'long to be remem-
bered by the old couple.
NO NEWS iFROM CALLS.
The local board has not received
any news from coming calls. Two calls
are now on the docket: one for
group to Texas university for special
mechanical training and one for Camp
Fremont,. California, on August 5th.
The contingent to Camp Fremont will
leave August 5th, but a date has not
been received for the men to go to
Texas university.
EIGHTEEN BILLIONS NEEDED.
ACCEPT VALUATION.
Geo. W. Miller, county assessor, re-
ceived the following letter Saturday
from the state auditor:
"You are advised that the State
Board of Equalisation has accepted
the valuation as rendered by you for
the year 1918. Yours very truly, E.
B. Howard."
Cleveland, July 27.—An $18,000000,-

six brothers and his father at the forecast by Representative Kahn of
California, ranking minority member
of the house military committee, in an
address here today before the League
of Republican Clubs.
"This means additional Liberty
bonds," Represenative Kahn said; "it
means additional taxation; it means,
if it means anything, that the Ameri-
can people must be prepared to give
their all, if need be. Perhaps the time
will come when every individual in
the United States will have to con-
tent himself with the barest necessar-
ies of life, and surrender everything
he possesses or earns beyond those
bare necessities. Do aid his govern-
ment. ,
"We have not begun to make sacri-
fices in these United States; we do
not yet know the pinch of hunger—I
hope and pray we may never know
it—but we will be the better prepared
for possible eventualities if we begin
now the practice of self-denial."
first call, to avenge Belgium; fouht
on every important battlefield on the
Western front, including the Marne,
Hill Sixty, and the Battle of Somme.
He tells a startling story of his
"Twenty-Two Months in the Trench-
es," but being blessed with genuine
wit and a pervading sense of humor,
the narration of the terrible ordeals
through which he has passed is reliev-
ed somewhat of its awfulness. It is a
plain narrative in simple language,
but gripping, compelling and of ab-
sorbing interest. Mr. O'Connor will
be here on Sunday, the sedond day of
the chautauqua, and it is not expect-
ed that the tent will begin to hold
the crowd which will want to bear
him.
There are many other star num-
bers on the coarse, and those who
have compared the program with that
of other chautauquas are expecting a
big attendance and great interest in
the course.
A representative of the course is ex-
pected here today, and plans-are rap-
idly ooming to a close for- making
latter place lying about six miles
north of the Marne.
The Germans offered bitter resist
ance, but not to compare with that
which began late today for the reten-
tion of higher ground farther north of
the river. There they supplemented
their defense with artillery fire reach
ing over the American front lines to
the supports, the volume of fire at
times attaining enlormous proportions.
Unwavering, the American sheld
their ground and even advanced
slightly, while the French on their
sectors to the right and left resisted
as steadily against the vicious efforts
of the Germans.
From behind the advancing lines
the allied heavy guns kept up a con-
tinuous bombardment throughout the
day, shelling the German positions
wherevjW:^*? pirpie^g^po^ted troop
concentrations.
Heavy artillery has been used to
some extent by the Germans in their
rear guard actions, but to no such
extent as today and this gives some
basis for a belief that Von Boehn, the
German Commauder, is preparing to
make a stand.
It is pointed out, however, that un
til the Aid river is reached all the
advantages of ground are with the
allies. So it is generally believed that
tho dropping back of his heavy guns
is merely an indication that his arm-
ies are being withdrawn with all speed
from a postion which is intolerable
and which unless relieved might re-
sult in the disorganization of what so
far has been an admirably conducted
retreat.
The Americans began their advance
on Sergy early in the morning. They
had been driven back a short distance
Saturday night, but when they moved
this morning under cover of the ar-
tillery—a few pieces going forward
with the advanced line—they proceed-
ed almost unchecked to the river,
crossed the bridge and occupied tho
town about mid-forenoon.
The Germans used gaB, but the at-
tacking party long ago had had its
baptism of gas fumes and knew how
to utilize the masks and to avoid the
ravines through which the fumes fil-
tered. When the town was occupied
there was some street fighting, but
not much, the Germans retreating1 to
higher ground.
Until today the wounds received by
the American soldiers have not been
serious, as a rule, on account of the
failure of the Germans to use artil-
lery. A great majority of the wounds
were clean flesh wounds, made by bul-
lets from machine guns and rifles.
Considerable material has been
captured, including a few locomotives
which the Germans put out of com-
mission. There were relatively few
prisoners.
Many stories are told of the depre-
ciation in the German morale. Great-
est significance is attached to a let-
ter taken from an officer written by
his Ijrother in Germany, giving it as
his opinion that a revolt was immi-
nent unless the war is stopped.
Fifty-six registrants of this county
who had previously been given de-
ferred classification by the district
board, were reclassified by that board
and placed in class one. Their ques-
tionnaires were received today by the
local board, aud they will be called
for physical examination on Wednes-
day of next week. August 7th.
There are yet but two or three
questionnaires of the 1917 registrants
with the district board. This list of
1917 men was sent to the district
board following the recent order to
reclassify all registrants who had in-
dustrial claims who could at all be
done without. The local board did
not have any part in the reclassifi-
cation, as industrial claims are han-
dled entirely by the district board.
The list of men reclassified and who
will be examined next Wednesday Is

CASUALTIES GROW.
Washington, July 28— Heavy fight-
ing along the Alsne and Marne In
which American troops have partici-
pated has begun to Bhow in the cas-
ualty lists Issued by the war depart-
ment. Today's list of 225 names is
the longest to be given out since

during the week compared with 983
the previous week, and aggregate
13,766 with the inclusion of today's
army list of 225 and the marine corpB'
list of two.
The week's increase also was the
largest yet recorded.
In the 13,766 casualties total
deaths, Including 201 men lost at sea,
killed In action, dead of wounds, dis-
ease, accident and other causes num-
bered 5,493—army men, 4783—marines
70. ThoBe missing including prison-
ert total 741—army men 657; marines
84.
Of the week's increase 949 were ar-
my men and 101 marines. KiUed in
action and other deaths numbered $93
compared with 427 the previous week;
the wounded numbered 591 compared
with 465 the previous week, and the
missing and prisoners sixty-six com-
pared with ninety-one the previous

Snyder, Okia., July , 26.
At the big Panther Springs Picnic
in Tillman county on Thursday of last
week Jim Coursey, a prominent citi-
zen in charge of the picnic, announced
when introducing Congressman Mc-
Clintic that he had received a tele-
gram from Secretary McAdoo at Wash-
ington asking the people of that sec-

Mr. McAdoo is a member of Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet. He has charge
of the Treasury of the United States.
He has supervision over all of the
Railroads and many other activities

of Congressman McClintic, and inas-
much as all of the Chairmen of the
Committees he is a meber of have
like-wise gone, on record by endors-
ing his work in Congress there can
be no question but what he has serv-
ed the people in the proper way, and
that he Bhould be re-elected as the
Congressman from the 7th district of
Oklahoma.
Congressman McClintic Being Well

Congressman Jim McClintic, who Is
home on a rec«ss visit around his

day of this week, and will speak from
the east steeps of the court house at
nine o'clock.
Congressman McClintic has been

J. B. Densmore, Director General of

ing explanatory letter to The Beacon:
"We beg to direct your attention In

"The above action was found nec-
essary to overcome a perilous short-
age of unskilled labor in war indus-

some cases, is as high as 100 per cent
