Germans — Wild Confusion
Reported.
Work of Kaiser’s Secret1
Agents "Planted” in Ene-

ports of Disastrous Eastern
Rout.
By United Brett.
London, July 2G. — Russia’s
routed army in Galicia may have
lost to the Germans al! the
weath of artillery and military
equipment which the allien con-
centrated for General Bruslloff’s
great offensive.
Even if Premier Kerensky and
his ministry, armed with un-
limited powers, succeeded in
stemming the rout, supplies of
incalculable value may have
been lost.
Dispatches today told of the
wild confusion with which the
Russian eleventh army turned
tail and ran, some of its sol-
diers shooting down their own
comrades with artillery, that
they might flee on horses at-
tached to the gun timbers. The
guns were abandoned. Supplies
were left where they lay. Stores
of ammunition were disregarded.
Thru all the story, London
detected the work of German
secret agents. “Planted" in
Russian regiments, Germans ap-
parently waited until the offen-
sive had attained its height with
a great concentration of forces
and supplies and then acted
concertedly so that the greatest
possible booty might fall into
the hands of the Germans.
a One encouraging feature was
loyalty of Russian and Ruman-
ian troops in the southern Car-
pathians where they have vig-
orously attacked the Teutonic
forces.
A successful raid southeast of
Armentleres during the night
was all Field Marshal Haig had
to report from the British froat
today.

Petrograd, July 26.—The Pro-

organizations “to discuss the
country’s position, problems and

The organizations will include

Grow Young After 45
Walter Camp’a inatraction book ha* rule* that
knock old age, and, incidentally are not alone for those
who have passed 45.
Speeial It The A’etrt.
Washington, July 26.—Here are rule* by which men
past 46 can keep young and fit; hand a knockout to ad-
vancing age. The rules are from the instruction book of the
senior service corps, organized by Walter Camp, famous
Yale coach:
Drink without .eating and eat without drinking.
Five glasses of water a day, none with meals.
Warm feet and cool .head.
A bath, cold If you please,' hot If you must, with a
good rub, starts the day right.
ABOUT SMOKING.
If you will save your smoke till after luncheon, you'll
never have smoker’s heart.
Wearing the same weight underclothing the year around
will save you a lot of colds.
Dress cool when you walk and warm when you ride.
Your nose, not your mouth ,was given you to breathe
thru.
Clean skin, clean socks, clean underwear every day.
Don’t sit still with wet feet. Walk until you have a
chance to change.
Never let a day pass without covering four miles on
'■jot.
See how high you can hold your head and how deeply
you can breathe whenever you are out of doors.
Hot water Is the best thing for a sprain.
Short shoes and shoes that don’t fit cost a lot In the
long run.
ABOUT GETTING MAD.
Getting mad makes black marks on the health.
Envy, jealousy and wrath will ruin any digestion.
When you rob the trolley company of a nickel by walk-
ing you add a dime to youv deposit of health.
You'll never get the gout from walking.
Sleep woos the physically tired man, she flaunts the
mentally exhausted.
The best record in golf is the record she has made of
restored health to the middle aged.
Tennis up to the thirties, but golf after forty.
Nature never punished a man for getting his legs tired.
She has punished many for getting nerves exhausted.
Don't ask the heart to pump extra blood to the brain
all day and then to an overloaded stomach at night.
Tight shoes have sent many a man to bed with a cold.
Leg weariness never yet produced brain fag.
ABOUT CLOTHING.
Loose clothes, loose gloves, easy shoes spell comfort and
health.
No wise athlete stands still after exercise without put-
ting something over him.
Open windows don't make half as many colds as closed
ones do.
The best way to use the Sunday supplement is to stick
it under your vest while you walk an hour against tbe wind
and then come home and read it.
Blood pressure does not come to the men who walk a
lot out of doors; instead it looks for those who sit and eat
a lot indoors.
Many a man finds too late that his motor car has cost
him more in health and legs than It has in tires and gasolene.
Nature wont’ stand for overdrafts any more than your
bank.
You never saw a dog fill his mouth with food and then
take a drink to wash It down.
‘Whatever’s Right I’ll Do,
Says First of Conscripts
l ,0, S - Af
By Cnited Prett.
Washington, July 26. —
America, meet Thomas W.
Keez, first of Uncle Sam’s 10
million conscripts to be called
for examination.
He's a happy smiling snappy
chap. Lives down on N-st,
with his wife and son, George
Edward William, aged four
months.
Thomas was away at his
work when the long, official
war department envelope —
first of its kind ever mailed—
reached the house.
Little Mrs. Keez Ciied.
Little Mrs. Keez, just start-
ing down to the hardware
store to see about some
screens, greeted it.
She cried. v
Not very much tho. Tossing
it on the table unopened, she
went on to see about the
screens.
He hasn't had his wife but
a year and a half and they’ve
had a pretty hard struggle to
get ahead. But if Uncle 'Sam
needs him, he'll go. They’re
agreed on that.
“Whatever’s Best."
Keez wants to do whatever's
best for his country and his
family.
"I don’t exactly know what
to do," he said, “I owe a lot
to both of ’em. Whatever’s
right I’ll do."
He doesn't mind being No.
1 among tbe 10 million con-
scriptable youths of the na-
tion.
"It was a fair game and I
took my chances with the rest
of 'em," he said. “All any
guy can ask is an even break
and 1 got that."
Keez' notification went out
Just ahead of those from loc.il
board 5, District of Columbia,
at police station No. 5, the
first of the 4657 local boards
in the nation to get organized
and working.
CAN SMASH IE
WESTERN FRONT
BAKER THINKS
Take French Trenches
But With Huge Losses
By I'nited Brett.
Paris, July 26.—Suffering ter-
rible losses, German troops
nevertheless succeeded in a des-
perate attack last night in oc-
cupying part of first line
trenches east of HWtebise to
south of Labovelle. The official
statement today declared the at-
tack was in great force.
The assault was over a 3-mile
front, in the sector which has
been battered unceasingly and
unavallingly by the crown
prince for the last week. The
French here hold tbe dominating
positions on the Chemin Des
Dames.
French forces pressed forward
over unoccupied German trenches
north of Auberville in the Cham-
pagne today and met the enemy-
board, inflicting "appreciable
losses."
By I'nited Brett.
Washington, July 26.—Increas-
ing submarine tolls and Russia's
apparent military collapse make
more aggressive British and
American tactirs imperative,
army and navy officers here de-
clare today.
Great Britain's announcement
of 21 major ships sunk the last
week gave fresh fuel to demands
for an active dash at the heart
of the U-boat menace—Zebrugge
—and other bases.
The admiralty statement frank-
ly brought gloom in official
quarters.
In an offensive such as Am-
erican military experts picture,
aeroplanes would drop vast
quantities of explosives on the
U-boat bases and land defenses.
Secretary of War Baker be-
lieves the west front can be
smashel. Men about him do
not think it can. except thru
Joint navy and army action, and
then only by pouring hundreds
of thousands of men against the
northen end of the west front.

AMERICAN LEGION‘IN
CHARGE; THREE DIE
By I'nited Brett.
London, July 26.—The Amer-
ican Legion—Canada's little van-
guard of American boys—won
their objectives in the latest
fighting on the Canadian front,
but paid in the loss of three
members.
"We went over at exactly 7
a. m.," said Lieutenant Frank
H. Burr, of Columbus, O., to-
day, describing the action.
"Everything went splendidly. I
got one Prussian guardsman my-
self. He had a brother in San
Bernardino, Cal., and couldn’t
get over his surprise that there
were Americans in Canadian
uniform."
Burr was one of 16 officers
who escaped without a scratch.
PAYE WAY TO

ALIEN JHRONG
War Department Approves
Resolution Providing for
Enormous Addition to
America’s Armed Farces—
Before Senate Committee.
Diplomatic Obstacles First
Must Be Removed—Hope
for Accomplishment Before
Second National Levy Is
Called Out.
By I'nited Prett.
Washington, July 26. — The
U. S. today is negotiating with
the allies to legalize drafting
many hundreds of thousands of
aliens in this country to fight
under the American flag.
Before the time for a second
levy the necessary abrogations
of treaties and action by con-
gress will bring aliens under the
draft law.
The McCumber resolution to
draft aliens is ■ before a sub-
committee of the senate foreign
relations committee. Under this,
aliens may %e deported on re-
fusal to serve.
The war department has ap-
proved the resolution, but the
state department has pointed out
diplomatic obstructions in speci-
fic treaties with a half dozen
countries preventing drafting
their citizens into U. S. military
service.
1SO.OOO Italians.
At the Italian embassy it was
stated negotiations were under
way to bring 150,000 Italians
of military age in the U. S.
under the provisions of the
draft.
Each of the allied countries
is expected to acquiesce tn the
speedy nullification of any old
obstructing treaties and agree-
ments. But whether they do or
not, officials here declare that
congress may act—that laws su-
persede the treaties. Nations at
war with Germany are hardly
expected to object to conscrip-
tion of their subjects here.
The war department mail is
flooded with bitter protests from
cities with a large alien popu-
lation. They claim that nearly
every American will be taken in
the first levy from certain dis-
tricts with heavy alien popula-
tion. In Chicago one-fourth of
the entire registration Is exempt
as aliens.

NED 2 DAYS ID
EXAMINE QUOTA
Oklahoma City’s three district
exemption board will be ready
to begin examination of first
quota of drafted men the mo-
ment the calls go out. It is
expected the official list of num-
bers, in the order drawn, will
reach Oklahoma City Friday or
Saturday. •
Dr. A. K. Ayest, physician,
on the board of District No. 1,
said Thursday he would hold
examinations either in his office,
307 Majestic building, or at the
county attorney's office. Dr.
Hunter, district No. 2, will ex-
amine men either in city hall,
third floor, or at police station.
Dr. Leroy Long, district No. 3,
has not chosen the examination
place.
Dr. West, whose district fur-
nishes the smallest quota, will
be unassisted. Since ho ex-
amines men from Oklahoma
Railway Company, he has all
necessary equipment.
Dr. Hunter's district furnishes
the largest quota, and he will
call in two doctors to assist.
Dr. Hunter probably will use the
Bertillon measurement equip-
ment at police station, to which
will be added a stethoscope,
which all physicians carry.
Dr. Long has access to scales
and measuring standards at the
school of medicine, where he
is dean.
Examinations, it is thought,
will begin three days after the
notices are sent to drafted men.
and are expected to be finishd
in two days.

IT TA£ES M’LAREN TO
STIR UP THAT FLIVVER
William McLaren has got his
Flivver trained.
Accordingly. when thieves
broke, in and stole .last night,
they didn’t get very far.
The Flivver was removed cau-
tiously from McLaren’* unlocked
garage, 1728 W. 20th-st.
It was propelled by hand to
tbe street.
Then the Yale lock which held
the switch key from prying
hande was pried off.
By all rules of the Flivver,
the bird should then have hiked
forward under its own gasoline.
But nothing stirring.
When McLaren wanted the
car Thursday morning he found
It conveniently out in front—
and drove away.
But he knew how to make the
carburetor perform and the
thieves didn’t.
And he won't tell the secret.
SUGAR GOES UP AND
WHEAT STAYS THERE
A 25 cent rise in the price of
sugar featured Thursday's mar-

an advance of 10 cents over
Wednesday's $2.40. Hens drop-
ped half a cent to 14 cents a
pound.

The feeling against Amer-

but—•
President Wilson Is close to

strafe list.
These are some of the im-
pressions acquired in Germany
by a distinguished newspaper
man of neutral nationality,
who cabled the United Press
the following dispatch today:
By United Prett.
Amsterdam, July 26.—I have
brought home the conviction
that the fourth winter of the
war will strike the Germans
hard, but that the allies will
not starve Germany into a sur-
render.
At the moment the economic
situation is not desperate, as
the Germans have raised tre-
mendous quantities of vegetables
partly in consequence of the very
hot summer weather. This,
however, does not prevent many
Germans from looking forward
with pessimism.
Prospects for cereals are very
good, but the fodder question
seems serious and many cattle
will have to be killed in the
fall for lack of feed. The ques-
tion of the fat supply thereby
will be made the more difficult.
The potato crop looks good.
Great areas of former waste
land have been cultivated by
convalescent soldiers and Rus-
sian prisoners.
Much Bad Feeling.
The food problem Is the sub-
ject of continual discussion with
much bud feeling against certain
classes, alleged to get more than
their share, r The soldier rations
are sttll good.
War material still teems
plentiful. Gun and ammunition
factories are working day and
night. Confidence is general
that the German armies will
keep the enemy outside of Ger-
many.
About Submarines.
Confidence in the ability of
the > submarine to end the war
la growing slim. Many Obrj.ans
believe the allies will hold out
until It is proved that even with
American help they cannot break
the German lines in Belgium
and France—then they will be
willing to talk peace. Demands
of Pan-Germans for annexations
are not supported by the govern-
ment or the people.
The feeling against America
is not bitter, but President Wil-
son is about the best hated of
men. His lae: utterances have
been ridiculed and oited as proof
that he does not know Europe.
The Idea that Austria could
make a separate peace—which
Germans consider prevalent In
America—is a subject for laugh-
ter in Berlin and. what Is more
Important, likewise in Vienna.

Water, hurtling over the

The rise will give, probably a

Restoration of the cut-off dam
below the main water dam. as
soon as the river subsides, will
catch many million gallona for
the present emergency, Superin-
tendent Bennett said Thursday.
Bennett late Wednesday aft-
ernoon met the flood waters two
miles north of the interurban
crossing. Ten miles on up the
stream, north of Yukon, he
found the flood hud dropped
four feet. The comparison in-
dicates the narrow area in which
the cloud burst poured.

Thursday pulled out his
weather guide.
"Let’a gee; he says now that

mented.
The "guide" waa a pencil-
written letter from D. C. Wil-
son, Chickasha. rival of L.
Howell Lewis aa seer of the
rain's coming. Wilson, writing
on July 16, predicted rain
on July 18; It came. He an-
nounced temporary relief from
the drouth July 24 to 27; It
came.
"I’m hoping he guessed
rightly for August, for he
promises permanent relief
from water shortage then,"
salt! Bennett, and filed the let'
ter away.
predicts that a fuller flow will
follow the flood for three or
four days, and that then, unless
the clouds again spill into the
channel, the same condition of
crisis will arise anew.
Happy at the water's coming,
commissioners Thursday lost no
move in the testing for the
2,000,000 a day emergency wells
that are being sunk in the gravel
bed west of the water station.

squalid street in New York's
east side, where the hot July
sun beats down on congested,
sweltering humanity, there Is
mourning today for the first
American fighting man to be
buried in France.
Louis Reinhardt, sailor of
the U. S. navy, called a dark,
old fashioned tenement In
that street his home. All his
neighbors know today that he
is dead, drowned In falling
overboard from his ship But
his mother, a widow, solely
dependent on him for support,
doesn't know it.
"She's gen- no* into the
country," said one of the neigh-
bors today. "Say.—we're aw-
ful sorry about Louis. He
was a fine boy. It'll be a
terrible blow to his mother.
But nobody knows where she's
gone or When she’ll be back.
She'll take it hard.”
A little knot of dirty faced
kiddies assembled Thev were
clad in undershirts and ragged
pants. One clutched a piece
of ice.
"Sure, we know Louie,”
piped up one "He was a good
guy an' —an' he ust' to let us
