contract that the legislative halls must
be ready to receive the regular session
of the legislature In January. If neces
sary, the contractor says, these two
rooms could be made ready to receive
the law-making body by the middle of
Beptember. The contract calls for i
completed building by August 1, 1917.
All of the eiterior stone work, In-
cluding the ornamental stone col-
umns, cornice and gable work on the
entire west wing of the building is
complete and on the east wing the
stone work Is almost up level with
the mezzanine floor. Native Oklahoma
granite is used up to the first floor and
from there on Bedford stone is used.
The interior walls of two floors have
been finished and throughout the en
tire building where work has advanced
far enough finishing touches are being
added by a great army of workmen,
thus enabling visitors to get a fairly
comprehensive idea of how the fin-
ished struefhre will look.
Not a day's time has been lost or
wasted in work on the building. On
July 20. 1914, Just two days after the
money for the building became avail-
able following years of litigation,

has been the scene of building activity.

London.—On a successful effort to
Btraighten out their line between Po-
zieres and Thelpval, north of the
Somme, British forces have captured
the main German second line system
of defenses on a front of 2,000 yards
north of Pozieres. The attack, which
was made by Australians and troops
of the new Kitchener army, resulted
also in the taking of several hundred
prisoners.
German counter attacks against the
newly won positions were repulsed
with heavy losses.
Further than stating that a new bat-
tle was developing near Pozieres, Bar-,
lin makes no mention of the latest
British advance. British attacks, how-
ever, against the sectors from north of
Oxillers to Foureaux wood were re-
pulsed by the Germans. On the
French front in the Somme region,
Paris says there has been only artil-
lery activity, while Berlin claims the
repulse of a French advance south of
Maurepas.
Bitter Fighting On Meuse.
On the right bank of the Meuse, In
the Verdun region, the fighting being
between the French and Germans,
continues to be bitter. Paris says the
forces of the German crown prince
made unsuccessful efforts to drive the
French from the Thiaumont work, re-
cently captured. The Germans also
bombarded heavily the sector of
Thiaumont and Fleury.
Berlin mentions bitter flghtiag at

After declaring that Casement had
organized German assistance for the
Irish rebellion, the statement contin-
ues:

What Is Coming?
Mr. R. G. Wells is more interested-
so he tells us ln his latest book, "What
Is Coming?" in the tomorrow than ln
the today. The past he regards sim-
ply as material for future guessing.
Remembering his many successful
forecasts of previous years, this latest
volume. In which he deals with social
conditions after the war, Is possessed
of great significance. How are people
going to make up the waste of the
world's resources, the killing of a
large majority of the men ln nearly
every European country, universal los
and unhappiness? What, in short, i*
in store for the next generation?
