THE CLAREMORE PROGRESS
E
DURING NIQHT RAIDS MADE ON
TOWNS NEAR KINO'S COUN-
TRY HOME.
KILL TH8EE; HOUSES DESTROYED
On* Zeppelin Brought Down by Fir*
From English Battleship.—
Long Dreaded Raid
( Materialized.
1 London. — German aircraft made
their long threatened raids on Eng-
land and attempted to blow up with
bombs the king's rbyal residence In
Sandrlngham, county Norfolk. King
George and Queen Mary, only the day
before returned to London from Sand-
rlngham.
It 1a not known whether the raiders
were Zeppelins or aeroplanes, but
Zeppelin^ were reported as passing
over the North 3ea in a westerly direc-
tion and there Is an inclination to~6e-
lieve these were the raiders.
The night was calm but dark and
cloudy which made it impossible for
the people In the towns over which
they passed to distinguish even the
outline of the raiders though the whirr
of their propellers aild the droning of
their motors could be heard distinctly.
A Zeppelin was brought down by
the Are of a warship at Hunstanton, a
few miles north of Sandrlngham.
Bombs were dropped In Yarmouth,
King's Lynn, Sandrlngham, Cromer,
Sheeringham and Beeston and every-
where except at Beeston, casualties
and damage to property resulted.
The first place visited was the wide-
ly known seaside resort and fishing
town of Yarmouth. Two persons, a
man and a woman, were killed, a num-
ber of other persons were injured
and much damage to property was
done by the raiders during their visit,
which lasted less than ten minutes.
Four or five bombs were dropped in
Yarmouth.
When the attack began the authori-
ties gave instructions that all lights
in the town be extinguished and other
precautionary measures were taken.
Few signs of panic were seen during
the raid.
Apparently the raiders, after visit-
ing Yarmouth, flew over Cromer, where
they dropped bombs and then went to
Sheeringham and Beeston. Turning
Inland from there they made for Sand-
rlngham, dropping explosive missies
there and at King's Lynn where a boy
was killed and a man and a woman
was injured. Two houses were de-
stroyed.
The damage done at Sandrlngham
has not been reported. It is known,
however that the royal palace was not
harmed. At Sandrlngham a bomb
punctured a house, but did not ex-
plode.
LULL IN FIGHTING AT SOlSSQNS
RENEWAL OF FIERCE CLASH IN
WEST IS IMMINENT.
RIVER - HARBOR BILL IS ADOPTED
House Passes Bill Carrying $34,000,-
000; Arkansas Items Eliminated.
Washington —The rivers and har-
bors appropriation bill, carrying more
than $34,00,000, passed the house by a
vote of 154 to 81. The bill now goes
to the senate where a protracted light
is expected.
Only three or four small Items were
stricken from the bill. These in-
cluded $150,000 for the Arkansas river.
The bill authorizes no new projects,
the $34,000,000 being apportioned to
continue improvements already under
way, while provision is made for exam-
inations and surveys in various places,
including the Port Arthur ship canal,
The large allotments of the money
appropriated Include $7,387,000 for the
Mississippi river and $1,250,000 for the
Missouri.
Representative Calloway of Texas
moved to recommit the bill, with in-
structions to report a bill appropriat-
ing $4,765,000, limited to the existing
projects in their present condition.
Not a sufficient number of n.embers
stood up in support of this and Rep-
resentative Calloway made a point of
no quorum. A roll call of the passage
)f the bill immediately folowed.
Democratic Majority Leader Under-
wood had appealed to Majority mem-
bers in the house during the day to
stay In the chamber and maintain a
quorum so the bill could be passed bv
night.
"The last thing that the people of
the south want," he said, "is an extra
session of congress."
Responsibility for passing all the
supply bills before the end of this
season rests ith the democrats, he
added, urging them to remain in their
aeats to prevent waste of time on
points of no quorum.
Eastern Conflict Without Decision;
Turks Army Again Re-
treating.
London.—The omission from th«
German official report of any refer
ence to SolBsons, some of the recent
marked German success, and the
French statement that there has been
no change In that region leads to the
belief that a renewal of the violent
struggle there is impending, the tem
porary quiet being due to the fact thai
neither side cares to risk an offenBivi
in the present circumstances.
At widely separated points elBe
where on the western front there hav«
been engagements, but the weathei
again is playing an Important part
The storm In Belgium prevents oper
atlons, except artillery duels and snow
In the VosgeB at the other extremit)
of the line, makes attacks exceedingly
difficult.
In the Argonne, however, fighting ii
almost continuous and each side
claims minor successes. For the time
being, the Germans seem to be mort
on the offensive than the defensive.
The German reports of all the east
em operations are very brief, but
those of the Russians are more in de
tail and it is believed the Russians
are again menacing East Prussia and
Posen.
The Turks, according to reports,
have been dealt another Btaggering
blow after their determined stand in
the snow at Kara Urgan, in the Cau
casus. They are fighting rear guard
actions, but are being pressed back
toward Erzerum in great disorder.
The Turkish garrison at Adrlanople,
the partial withdrawal of which pre-
viously was reported, now haB with-
drawn completely, according to an
Athens dispatch which gives no ex-
planation.
The London papers print a forecast
appearing in the Paris Figaro that
Italy, Greece, Roumania and Bulgaria
will join the allies, but there Is noth-
ing more definite relative to this turn
of affairs than there was a fortnight
ago.
Bayonet Decisive Factor.
Characteristic fighting is going on
in northern France where the village
of La BolsBelle, twenty miles to the
northeast of Amiens, was taken from
the French by the Germans and later
recaptured by the French. At this
point there has been much work with
the bayonet. A French ammunition
depot blew up and part of the build-
ings were destroyed by fire. The Ger-
mans taking advantage of this inci-
dent attacked the French with the
steel and drove them to positions be-
yond. In a fierce counter-attack some
hours later the French recaptured the
position.
In Galicia the Prussians have suc-
ceeded to the east of Zakllczyn in
forcing the Russians to evacuate their
trencheB for several miles. Nowhere
word has been received regarding the
operations of the Russian forces in
Kirlibaba pass, through which they
expected to carry their aggressive
campaign Into Hungary, but Vienna
reports that In the Carpathians only
patrol skirmishes have occurred.
The Prussian losses In the war as
disclosed in 136 lists according to a
Vienna dspatch number 877,107. The
Austrian losses, not Including those of
the last two months, according to the
same authority number nearly 284,000
in killed, wounded and prisoners.

GUTIERREZ MOVES MYSTERIOUS
But Convention is riaii
$5,000,000 Which la Missing.
Washington —When General Gutier
rez left Mexico City he took with him
most of the troops garrisoning the
capital. State department advices in-
dicate that Gutierrez' present com-
mand is 5,000 strong and few soldiers
remained in the capital.
The state department is particularly
anxious to know whether Gutierrez
has abandoned all claims to the pro-
visional presidency or has gone else-
where with part of his cabinet to set
up a government there in defiance of
the conventionalist faction in Mexico
City.
That General Gutierrez be called
upon to give an accounting regarding
the 10,500,000 pesos ($5,250,000), which
they claim should be in the treasury,
was demanded by members of the sov-
ereign convention.
The reason for the departure of
Guiterrez has not yet been explained
to the state department and the belief
prevails that with the 5,000 troops ac-
companying him from Mexico City and
Generals Bianco and Robles he is en-
deavoring either to join General Obre-
gon and the Carranza element or in-
tends to set up an independent fac-
tion.
To Increase Court Commission.
Legislation that will transfer the
authority of appointing members of
the supreme court commission from
the supreme court to tne governor,
and perhaps Increase the number of
commissioners, was foreshadowed In
action taken by the house.
The bill providing for continuation
of the commission as now constitute4
and continuing the present method of
appointing commissioners waa under
consideration by the house In com-
mittee of the whole when an amend-
ment by Representative N. B. Maxey
of Muskogee, proposing that the gov-
ernor should appoint members of the
commission wus adopted by a big
vote.
At the same time Mr. Maxey pro-
posed an amendment that would In-
crease the number of commissioners
from six to fifteen. Discussion on
this amendment finally resulted in the
bill being recommitted to the house
committee on judiciary without in
Btructions. The debate, however, on
the floor of the house, and the vote
on the first amendment was sufficient
to Indicate beyond doubt Bentiment in
favor of Increasing the number of
commissioners and placing their ap-
pointment in the hands of the gov-
ernor.
Pensions for Ex-Soldier*.
Pensions for ex-Confederate soldiers
and their widowB is proposed in a bill
Introduced by Senator M. M. Ryan of
Poteau. Should th.s bill become a
law the old soldiers would be paid
$120 per year and widows of ex-Con-
federate soldiers would be cared for at
the rate of $100 per year.
New "County Line" Bill.
With the avowed purpose or defeat-
ing the plan to organize the new coun-
ty of Shaffer with Cushing as its
county seat, Senator Edmonson
pressed his new county and county
line bill to Its third reading and Anal
adoption In the senate. The territory
most vitally affected by the bill has
no representative In the senate and it
met no opposition Insofar as the in-
terests of the newly proposed county
are concerned.
This measure makes two Important
changes in the present law and re-
quires an affirmative vote of 60 per
cent of the qualified voters of any
given territory to detach It from one
county and attach it to another. The
old law only required a bare majority.
The second change extends the dis-
tance from ten to fifteen miles. By
the terms of the Edmonson bill no
county line can be bo changed as to
locate a county line nearer than fif-
teen miles to the. county seat, while
the law, as it now exists, fixes the
limit at ten miles.
Important Agreement.
An important agreement with refer-
ence to appropriation bills has been
reached between the appropriation
committees of the house and senate,
by the terms of which the work has
been divided between the two
branches of the legislature, with a
view of expediting action and saving
time. It Is agreed that all appropria-
tion bills for the secondary agricul-
tural schools, the A. & M. college, the
penitentiary and reformatory schools
and the general appropriation bill
shall be Introduced and considered
first In the house. The work In the
way of appropriations In the senate
will be that relating to normal
schools, the state university, school

To Redlstrlct the Judges
Division of the Btate into twenty-one
district court judicial districts and re-
ducing the number of district judges
from thirty-one to twenty-two, Is pro-
posed in a bill introduced In the house
of representatives by Representative
J. H. Relgner, of Pushmataha county.
Each of the twenty-one districts cre-
ated under the terms of the bill would
be entitled to one judge, except the
district including Oklahoma county.
The bill provides for two judges from
the Oklahoma county district. This
county at present haB three district
judges.
If the bill be passed by the legisla-
ture and becomes a law it will result
in a saving to the state of approxi-
mately $40,000 a year In salaries for
the judgeships, which will be abolish-
ed, according to estimates of Mr. Relg-
ner.
The districts provided for in the bill
would be made up as follows:
Proposed Districts
First district, Adair, Cherokee, Dela-
ware, Mayes, Ottawa; Second. Craig,
Nowata, Rogers, Wagoner, Washing-
ton; Third, Muskogee, Sequoyah;
Fourth, McIntosh, Pittsburg; Fifth,
Haskell, Latimer, Le Flore; Sixth,
McCurtain, Pushmataha; Seventh,
Atoka, Coal, Johnston, Pontotoc, Sem-
inole; Eighth, Bryan, Carter, Love,
Marshall; Ninth, Creek, Hughes, Ok-
fuskee, Okmulgee; Tenth, Lincoln,
Pottawatomie; Eleventh, Kingfisher,
Logan, Payne; Twelfth, Grant. Kay,
Noble, Pawnee; Thirteenth, Oklaho-
ma; Fourteenth, Canadian, Cleveland,
Garvin, McClain, Murray; Fifteenth,
Caddo, Grady, Jefferson, Stephens;
Sixteenth, Comanche, Cotton, Jackson,
Tillman; Seventeenth, Blaine, Custer,
Kiowa, Washita; Eighteenth, Beck-
ham, Dewey, Creek, Harmon, Roger
Mills; Nineteenth, Beaver, Cimarron,
Ellis, Harper, Texas; Twentieth, Al-
falfa, Garfield, Major, Woods, Wood-
ward; Twenty-first, Osage, Tulsa.
The act would not become effective
until the general election in 1918, at
of mines, charitable Institutions, the which time the voters of the different
general deficiency bill and the state districts would elect a district judge.
TO PAY BERT IN TNE CABAL ZONE
No More Free Houses and Electricity
For Canal Employeee.
Washington.—Under a presidential
order employes of the Panama canal
and the Panama Railroad Company
on the Isthmus of Panama will have
to pay rent and buy their electric cur
rent after March 1, next. Heretofore
these things have been supplied by the
government free of cost.
The chance follows the creation ol
a permanent force of employes for the
operation of the canal in place of the
floating labor which haa been used
since the United States undertook the
construction of the waterway on the
Isthmus.
No general salary or wage increase;
contemplated, accordingly the
effect of this newly promulgated ordei
ia to reduce substantially the corn
paratlrely high scale of
capitol.
The committees request that all ap-
propriation bills be introduced not
later than February 1. and by this
methodical way of handling the appro-
priation measures It 1b hoped to avoid
any of the disagreeable and entangling
difficulties encountered by the fourth
legislature.
Relating to Deputies.
No more deputy county attorneys In
counties with a population of fewer
than 40,000 Is the law sought to be
enacted by Senator O'Neill. In pre-
senting the bill the senator contended
that It would bring about a saving of
over $60,000 per annum to the tax-
payers of the state and further sug-
gests that the present expenditure of
this sum is worse than waste.
More public service corporation leg-
islation is suggested by a bill intro-
duced by Senator Davidson of Tulsa.
While the bill by its general terms re-
lates to all public service corporations
the real purpose of its supporters Is
to reach the oil pipeline companies and
to compel them to appear before the
cororatlon commission and give bond
to provide adequate facilities for the
transportation of all oil offered.
A concurrent resolution pronosing
that neither branch of the legislature
permit the introduction of bills after
February 1 except committee bills and
bills specifically recunmended by the
governor was Introduced by Repre-
sentative W. T. Powell of Cotton and
Comanche counties.

report on the affairs of his office, cov-
ering the first six montha of the fis-
cal year ending June 30, 1915. The
appropriation for the whole year is

trict courts of Oklahoma and Pitts-
Thls would permit all of the district
judges elected for four years in the
recent election to serve out the time
for which they were elected.
Action taken to indicate strong senti-
ment among its members in favor ol
state and national prohibition featured
sessions of the house of representa-
tives.
The joint resolution by Representa-
tive J. E. Lemon of Grant county, me-
moralizing congress to authorize the
submission of the Sheppard-Hobson
amendment to the federal constitution,
proposing national prohibition, waa
passed by an almost unanimous vote;
the Benate and house committees on
prohibition enforcement introduced a
joint bill designed to strengthen the
general prohibition laws by placing
additional restrictions on common car-
riers in the delivery of intoxicating
liquors, and the house committee on
the whole submitted a favorable re
port on the bill proposing scientific
temperance lnatructions In the public
schools of the state.
The house voted to dismiss the con-
test of W. W. Whltmore, republican,
against C. L. Plnkham, who was elect-
ed a member of the house from Kay
county by a plurality of one vote.
A new house resolution Is by Mc-
Cance of Woodward and proposes sub-
mission of a constitutional amendment
that will reduce the site of the legis-
lature to a senate ot twenty-one mem-
bers and house of seventy-seven mem
hers. Each county would be entitled
to one representative.
RUSSIANS TRYJNVELOPINO MUVE
Offensive Is Renewed Near Mlawa;
Rumors Rsvlvsd of Roumanla's
Entrance Into the Great
European War.
London.—The battle for possession
of the trenches in Flanders continues
almost without cessation from the sea
to the Swiss border. In the mud of
Flanders, the floods of the Alsne'valley
and the snows of the Argonne and the
VosgeB, the soldiers of Germany and
the allied nations keep up a continual
fight.
Aocordlng to a long official report of
the fighting during the past two
months Issued by the French war staff
this method of siege operations large-
ly has favored the allies who, while
they have gained ground on almost
every part of the front, have been
forced to give way In only one region
—that of Bolssons. They are being
put to a test, however, similar to that
which obliged them to retire from
north of the Alsne near Solssons, be-
cause the Germans, realizing the dang-
er to their communications with Metz
as a result of the French advance near
Pont-A-Mousson, have sent reinforce-
ments there and have begun a battle
for the positions they lost during the
past week.
The Germans apparently have re-
gained a portion of them and fighting
for the remainder is now In progress.
At other points, particularly near St.
Mihiel and In Alsace there have been
Infantry engagements, but, on the
whole the artillery continues to be
the busiest arm.
Russians Actlvs at Mlawa.
The Russians have renewed their of-
fensive against Mlawa, a town which
has changed hands often since the
commencement of the war, and It ap-
pears they again will attempt to en-
velop the German rorces which are
holding the line of tne Mazurian lakes
and average themselves for the defeat
at Tannenburg.
On the rest of the Polish front and
in Galicia the Austro-Gcrman attacks
are becoming more intermittent, ac-
cording to the Russian report, which is
generally brief when big events are
happening.
The Russians continue to make
progress againBt the Austrian out-
posts in the mountains between Buko-
wlna and Transylvania.
The Germans explain the action of
their airships in dropping bombs on
towns and villages in Norfolk, Eng-
land, by saying that they bad been
fired on. British airmen, in turn, have
been busy in Belgium and according
to a report from Holland have ven-
tured as far as Essen, Rhelnlsh Prus-
sia, where they destroyed numerous
buildings.
The Netherlands has asked Germany
for an explanation of the report that
the German airships on their way to
England passed over Dutch territory.
Plans of Roumania.
Reports of Roumanla's long awaited
entrance Into the fight continue to
circulate; one rumor has it, however,
that Roumania will not immediately
declare war, but that she will throw
troops into Transylvania,
MAKING THE MOST OF LAMB
Houssksspsr Will Find This Arrange-
msnt a Help to ths Cutting of
Hsr Bills.
Every housekeeper Is on the look-
out to save In these days,of high
cost of living, especially in meats.
Here Is one way to save mutton or
lamb. If, on Saturday, a forequarter
of mutton or lamb Is purchased,
weighing from seven to ten pounds,
It should be divided as folloWs
Shoulder, neck, breast. French chops,
bones and trimmings. The shoulder Is
boned, pocket cut for filling, that
makes the roast; stuffed shoulder of
lamb or mutton for Sunday dinner
and cut cold for Monday luncheon or
supper.
Then the neck Is boiled with the
shoulder bone and trimmings, mak-
ing two quarts or lamb broth, to be
UBed for boup for Monday's dinner.
The meat Is trimmed from the neck
bones for lamb croquettes, meat salad
or loaf. The breast- is stewed,
curried with rice. The choicest part
is left, that Is, one dozen frenched
lamb chops.
Of course, you must be able to tell
your butcher Just how you want It
cut and trimmed. The chops are
frenched, chine removed, but the
chops are not cut apart. That is left
for the housekeeper to do, cutting Just
aa needed. The trimmings from the
chops are boiled with the neck and
bones, strained, and when cold all
fat Is removed and clarified for drip
pings.
From this forequarter you have the
following dishes, always for four per
sons;
Roast stuffed shoulder, hot for Sun-
day dinner.
Roast stuffed shoulder, cold for
Monday, with aoup (two quarts foi
soup stock).
Lamb croquettes or meat loaf foi
Tuesday.
Stewed or curried lamb for Wednea-
day.
Lamb chops which can be kept for
Thursday.

Rome.—The number of refugees
now in Rome Is estimated at 8,000. A
checking of the names of the refugees
registered has resulted In the dis-
covery of many persons who were
supposed to have been killed at Aves-
zano and other places.
The authorities at Aveszano have
Installed a bakeoven with a capacity
of 8,000 rations of bread dally and
also military kitchen for the prepsr-
atlon of other food. Military engi-
neers are building everywhere In

wooden shelters.
Six million dollars having been
placed at the disposal of the Italian
authorities for the allevlatloh of con-
ditions in (he earthquake area, exten-
sive relief works are being planned.
It Is expected that within a fort-
night the most serious conditions will
have been Improved greatly. Shacks
for the housing of trie homeless will
be erected as rapidly aa possible,
buildings not destroyed will be re-
paired; roads will be cleared and re-
opened to traffic and agricultural and
business life in tbe stricken commu-
nities will be restored to normal.
POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER
By the Uae of Oxalic Acid the Utensil
May Be Kept In ths Best of
Condition.
A shining copper hot-water boiler
adds much to the appearance of
kitchen, as 'all housekeepers know.
The boiler may be kept In a state of
brilliancy by the use of a solution
of oxalic add and water. Five cents
worth of tbe acid dlaaolved in
quart of warm water will last
through many cleaning days.
Best results are obtained by apply-
ing the solution to a warm boiler.
After one application of the solution
the boiler should be gone over with
a cloth wrung out In warm water
and then polished with a dry cloth.
The best part of the process la that
no "elbow grease" is required. In a
few mlnuteB a dull, dingy boiler be-
comes bright and shining with but
little effort
All copper articles not having
lacquered surface may be cleaned
with this solution, and It also serves
aB a brass polish.
Keep In a safe place, as oxalic add
la poison.
Cocoanut Candy.
Remove the shell from a half a co-
coanut and shred or shave it with a
silver knife. Spread it on dishes In
the open - door' of an oven until It ia
soft and elastic. Desslcated cocoanut
can be used instead, but the fresh sort
la better. Then boll a cupful of mo-
lasses and a cupful of sugar, brown or
white, a teaspoonful of vinegar and a
tablespoonful of butter. When this Is
cooked enough so that It la brittle
when dropped in cold water add tbe
warmed cocoanut and pour into but-
tered dishes. Mark Into squares when
it Is thick but before it la cold.
Peas, Normandy Style.
Cut one piece of pork or bacon
(large slice will do) Into small diced
pieces. Put Into pan with three o<
four onions and fry very gently.
When sufficiently brown, add llquoi
from can of peas to cover onions and
cook until tender. Then add peas
with salt and pepper, ami heat
through and through. Thicken by
stirring In well-beaten yolk of egg and
serve In a covered dish. This is sim-
ply delicious.
