FALKENHAYN WIN8 A REAL
BATTLE AGAIN8T THE
RUMANIANS.
ALLIES DRIVE STEADILY ON
British Now Within Four Milo* of
Baupaumo—Another Zeppelin le
Burned In Attack on
London.
London.—TroopB of the central
poworB under the command of Gen-
eral von Falkenhayn, former chief of
the German general staff, have gained
a decisive victory over the Rumanian
Invaders of central Transylvania. The
Rumanians were crushed between two
forces in a battle which raged for
three days. After suffering heavy
losses the invaderB were reported flee-
Ini in disorder into the mountains.
The defeat of the Rumanians was
brought about by a strategic move vir-
tually impossible on the western battle
front. General von Falkenhayn di-
vided his force of Germans and Aus-
tro-Hungarians. While one body en-
gaged the invaders around Hermann-
atadt the other encircled the Ruman-
fifty stiles southwest ef Lemberg, and
along the right bwnk of the Zlota Lipa,
Austro-German positions are reported
to hava been taken and 122 officers
and 2,286 men made prisoners.
Slav* Near Brody Halted.
Berlin asserts that the Russian
forces along the Brody-Lemberg rail-
way were stopped by th* artillery of
the Teutons. But on the southern
wing Berlin admits the Russians
gained a foothold and also advanced
in the angle between the Tseniuvka
and Zlota Llpa river.
In Macedonia the Serbians, after
days of bitter fighting, have at last
captured the KaimaXcaln height on
the Greek-Serblan border from the
Bulgarians. The British on the
Struma have taken a portion of the
Bulgarian line near the Orljak bridge.
Another Zeppelin Down.
In another Zeppelin raid against
London and the east coast of Eng-
land an airship was brought down In
flames north of London.
Great crowds cheered the spectacle
of the burning Zeppelin as It fell In
the London district. The great flare
from the burning aircraft was visible
for a long distance.
Four Zeppelin raids on London and
the east coast have been carried out
in the last month, the more recent
attacks being made by airships of the
new and bigger types. On Septembei
2 one Zeppelin was struck while fly
lng over the London district and fell
in flames. Two Zeppelins were de
Btroyed in the raid of September 23
On that occasion the raiders killed
thirty-eight persons and wounded 125
The following night another raid in
which the airships escaped entirely
without damage, they killed thirty-six
persons and wounded twenty-seven.
In the raid of September 2 only two
persons suffered death and thirteen
were injured.

members of the state legislature from
the metropolis decided to urge Gov-

Nearly 40 per cent of the 800,000

according to Hugh Frayne, organizer
of the American Federation of Labor.

Berlin reports that a large amount of

In eastern Transylvania the Ruman-

The left wing of the British nrmy

miles of Baupaumo itself.

The Germans have been cleared out
of positions near the Stuff redoubt

With an array of figures and Infor-
mation on hand, calculated to impress
the national land bank board with the
possibilities of Oklahoma City as a
location for one of the twelve district
land banks, the local committee of the
Chamber of Commerce which has had
charge of the work will soon have
ready its formal brief. This will be
presented to the national board when
It conducts a hearing here some time
in November.
The keynote of the argument to be
made by Oklahoma City will be that a
district with diversified interests will
reduce the hazards attached to lend-
ing money. A district, it will argue,
which contains only one source of in-
come will suffer uniformly in a hard
year, while one that has many sources
will have the burden lessened when
any one source fails.
District Ideal Size.
* In accordance with this idea, the
local committee will work for a dis-
trict composed of Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas and Kansas. In case the wheat
sections of Kansas and Oklahoma
should sustain a partial or complete
loss, there would still be the cotton
of southern Oklahoma and Arkansas
and the numerous other branches ot
fanning.
Figures which have been compiled
show that a district consisting of the
three states named will contain the
ideal proportions of different phases of
farming. As there are to be twelve of
the banks, It is essential that each
district be so constituted that It will
have as nearly one-twelfth of the re-
sources as possible. The district com-
posed of Oklahoma, Arkansas and
Kansas would have one-twelfth each
of the farm values, country rural pop-
ulation, and of the farm mortgages of
the country. It would have one-
thirteenth of the people who farm
their own land,vone-sixteenth of the
entire area of the United States, ex-
clusive of Alaska, and one-tenth of the
total number of farms.

Roubmieelon ef Antl-G»mif*g Act.
John Rainey, representing the erif-
Inal petitioners on the referendum of
the anti-gambling act of the 1913
legislature, which was nullified by a
supreme court decision, has filed with
the state election board an applica-
tion for re-submission of the law in
the November election.
The law was sustained by a big
vote when submitted in the election
In 1914, but the supreme court, in an
opinion by Justice Hardy, Reid that
the election was invalid because elec-
tion officials had failed to comply with
certain provisions of the initiative and
referendum law In submitting the
question.
Rainey takes the position that the
supreme court having held that the
law was improperly submitted by the
election officials it now becomes their
duty to re-submit it in due form, ac-
cording to constitutional and statu-
tory requirements.
The decision of the court was hand-
ed down a few weeks before the con-
vening of the last extra session of the
legislature and one of the first acts
of the assembly was the re-enact
ment of the law with two additional
features designed to force county offi
cers to enforce the law.
If the contention of Rainey is sus-
tained and the election board orders
re-submission, the only anti-gambling
law In effect In the state defines the
offense as a misdemeanor. The new
law makes It a felony.
Anti-Gambling Law Enough.
“The law will not be re-submitted,
emphatically declared Governor Wil-
liams when told that an application
had been filed with the state election
board for re-submission of the gen-
eral anti-gambling statute.
“The power of the governor to sub-
mit that law has been exhausted. The
anti-gambling ^ct of the 1913 legisla-
ture is dead, but the act of the 1916
legislature is in full force and effect,
continued the governor.
It is the contention of Rainey that
the supreme court having held that
the law was improperly submitted, it
now becomes the duty of election offi-
cers to submit it in due form.

Barred From Corporation Work.
Employes of state educational insti-

ployment from corporations in matters
relating to fixing charges for public
service, or on matters relating to tax-
ation, according to the terms of a res-
olution passed by the state board of
education.
In no event will employes be per-
mitted to accept any kind of employ-
ment without first getting consent of
tJye presidents of the institutions at
w;Ach they are employed.
The resolution was passed on rec-
ommendation of the committee which
investigated charges brought by peo-
ple of Lawton and Mangum against
Prof. H. V. Bozell of the department
of mechanical engineering at the state
university.
The charges were based on the fact
that he had been employed by public
service corporations of those two
places upon matters relating to taxa-
