A revised list of the dead from all

All attempts at Identifying the

of their decomposed condition, and
burial parties sent out along the
shores of Nueces bay were hurrying
the corpses to nearby towns for In

Heavy rnlnfall to the east of Cor-
pus Christ! threatening to stop relief
trains.
Food Situation Serious.
The food situation, serious from the
outset, took a more acute turn with
the arrival of several hundred refu-
gees from the surrounding country.
Most of these were cotton plckera
who had b«*en left destitute aa the re-
sult of the destruction of all cotton
fields In this section The fear was
freely expressed that when the limited
food stocks In surrounding towns Is
exhausted, more than 30.000 persona
would become entirely dependent up-
on relief supplies now being brought
here unless the railroad silualion Im-
proves. *
All visitors and sightseers were
warned to remain away from Corpus
Christ I on pain of being met at the
train with a shovel and put to work
cleurlng away the debria, by Mayor
Gordon lloone. There Is sufficient la-
bor here for all I he needs, the state-
ment says, and in view of the acute
food situation, every additional mouth
to leeil adds an unnecessary drain on
the city’s meager resources.
EVERY CASUALTY
OF U. S. IN WAR
ACCOUNTED FOR
Washington.—Every Ameri-
can soldier who became a cas-
ualty in the war against Oer-
nmny at last has been account-
ed for.
A list of missing and unac-
counted for which at one time
was as high as 25,905 gradually
was reduced until for weeks It
remained at two. It Is now pre-
sumed there is no doubt the two
soldiers are dead and they have
been so listed officially.
Of the total first reported
missing 23 per cent died; 16
per cent were lost from their
organizations in the confusion
of battle but subsequently re-
Joinod them. The remainder
were found scattered through-
out various hospitals.

shout an hour after his train had left
Washington to bring him home for a
•hort visit through his district.
His son. Lieutenant Joseph B.
Thompson, was with him when tho
end came. Hla wife and other son,
James M. Thompson, were at Wash-
ington.
Health Poor Three Years.
Mr. Thompson had been In declin-
ing health for the past two or three
years, but his condition was not re-
garded serious by his friends. He
had been attending his congressional
duties, nnd only a few days ago took
part in a spirited debate In the house.
He was coming home to be here on
W ilson day at the state fair, and to
look after some private interests in
the Texas oil field, as well as make a
short tour of his congressional dis-
trict.
His body was sent back to Wash-
ington to be prepared for burial, and
then sent to Pauls Valley for burial.
In Congress Seven Years.
Mr. Thompson was born In Gray-
son county, Texas, near Whitewrlght,
48 years ago. He was elected as a
congressman at large from Oklahoma
to the Slxtythird congress in 1912
and has represented the Fifth district
—the Oklahoma City district—since
its creation by the Fourth legislature
in 1913.

He was a graduate of the law de-
partment of the University of Texas,
and came to Oklahoma when a young
man. locating first at Pauls Valley.
He practiced law for a number of
years at Ardmore with his brother,
J. C. Thompson. At Pauls Valley he
practiced law with 8. T. Bledsoe and
W. A. I,e<lbelter, now of Oklahoma
City.
If the vacancy in the Fifth district,
resulting from the death of Congress-
man J. B Thompson Is filled prior to
the regular congressional election
next summer the Governor will have
to call a special election In the dis-
trict for this purpose.
If the governor elects, the place
may be left vacant until the regular
elections, but this course was con-
sidered highly improbable by demo-
cratic leaders. The appoinflve power
|does not extend to representatives in
congress, and the only way the place
can be filled is by a special election.
Term Expires in 1920.
The Fifth district is overwhelming-
ly democratic, and in view of this it
is not believed the governor will hesi-
tate to call the election.
Mr. Thompson's term, for which he
was elected last November, does not
expire until a year from the coming
March, and whoever is elected as his
successor in the special election will

Ios Angelas.—President Wilson
came to Tos Angeles to conclude his
stay on the Pacific coast with a two-
I day visit devoted mostly to rest. The
only appointments on his program up
to his departure were a public din-
ner nnd an address at the Shriner’i
, auditorium.
At the hotel the president went im-,
mediately to his suite and it was an-
nounced he would rest the remainder

ently are not attempting yet to recap-

gatherings. More than 2,500 steel
workers and sympathizers were
gathered near the southern limits of
the city when a squad of McKeesport
police dispersed them, driving the
crowd lnton Glassport, an adjoining
borough.
When the crowd again began to as-
semble in Glassport the local police
appeared and ordered the meeting dis-
persed. The crowd refused to move
and a detachment of mounted state po-
lice appeared and with drawn clubs
broke up the meeting. No one was
injured. Two aliens were arrested for

TREATY HANDED TO BULGARIA
ARMY IS CUT TO FORCE OF
ONLY 20,000 MEN
Reparation of Half Million and Losa
of Some Territory Imposed
By Allies
Paris.—Without any ceremony the
Bulgarians were handed the peace
treaty at the French foreign office
and were given 25 days to reply.
T. Theodoroff, Bulgarian and head
of the peace delegation, made an ad-
dress In which ne urgd that mitiga-
tion be granted In the peace terms.
The delivery of the treaty took
place in the presence nt a single rep-
resentative of each allied country and
10 newspaper correspondents.
Readjustment of tronriers aiming
to promote the peace or the Balkans
and recognition of a new state, form
the leading features or the Bulgarian
treaty which follows the Austrian
treaty In general outline.
The most miportant territorial
changes provide:
First, that Bulgaria modify her
boundaries in four places in favor of
Serbia and second that western
Thrace be ceded to the allies for fu-
ture disposition. The frontiers with
Roumania and Greece remain practic-
ally unchanged.
Other provisions or the treaty are
that Bulgaria reduce ner army to 20,-
000 men, pay a reparation bill of
$450,000,000, reognize the Independ-
ence of Jugo-Slavia and renounce the
treaties of Brest-Litovsr. and Buchar-
est.
Disposition of western Thrace was
the question which delayed comple-
tion of the treaty the American dele-
gation opposing the rest of the allies
in their decision to award it to
Greece. Whatever final settlement is
made the Bulgarians rt is stated, will
be granted an outlet to the Aegean
Sea.

OF TNI KINGDOM.

grades the subject of th* church, not-
ing Its uieinliersbip. ordinsnrea, wor-
ship, and service, a better wsy would
he to study more fully the parable* of
lh* kingdom as set forth In Matthew
13:44-90.
I. Th* Rarabl* of th# Hid Treasure
(v. 14).
The usual Interpretation of thla
parable, making Christ the bid treas-
ure for which a tinner must give up
everything In order to buy hla salva-
tion, must be rejected for the follow-
ing reasons: (1) Chftot la not hid-
den In a field, but has been lifted up
and made a spectacle to the world.
(2) Nobody has ever been obliged to
buy the world In order to get Christ
(3) Salvation rnnnot he purchased,
for It la God’s free and gracious gift
(4) No warrant I* ever held out to a
man to conceal his religion after it la
obtained.
1. The field. Tills la the world
(v. 38). Fortunately this landmark
has been made by Christ himself.
2. The treasure. In Paatm 135:4 wo
are told that Israel, the chosen people,
Is his treasure. The same truth Is aet
forth In different places and waya
(Deut. 7:6-8; 14:2; 26:18; 32:8, 9).
W lien Chrlat uttered thla parable the
ten trlhea were already concealed from
human observation, aud as to the rest
of Israel It was a prophecy of that
which was to follow. The kingdom as
to Its relation nnd hearing Is now hid-
den. Christ was primarily sent to th*
Jews; for their sake the field was
bought
3. The Purchaser: the Son of God
(John 3:16).
None hut the Ron of God had such
resources to buy the world.
4. The purchase price. This was
the precious blood of the Ron of God,
Which Is worth Infinitely more than
silver and gold and the treasures of
the enrth (I Peter 1:13, 10; Isa. 58).
II. Th# Parabla of th# Merchantman
Seeklno Goodly Pearls (vv. 45. 46).
1. The merchantman. He la ac-
tively engaged in search for pearls.
In this search he discovers one pearl
of great price. This merchantman
Is none other than Christ himself. Th#
whole activity of the Father. Son.
nnd Holy Spirit, since the fall of man.
hns been seeking those who are lost
2. The purchasing price. The mer-
chantman sold all—Impoverished him-
self In order to buy the pearl. The
poor lost sinner could not buy Christ.
His salvation la without money and
without price. Christ did Impoverish
himself, turned hla back upon the
heavenly glory (Phil. 2:6-8) to pur-
chase the one pearl of great price by
his own precious blood (Eph. 5:25; I
Pet. 1:18, 19).
3. The pearl of great price. This la
the church. The merchantman will
find other pearls of value, but the
peerless gem set above all others will
be the church which he has purchased
with his own blood.
III. The Parable of the Drag Net
(vv. 47, 50).
This gives us a picture of the con-
summation of the kingdom. No one
can mistake the meaning here. Note:
1. The sea. This word when used In
e figurative sense denotes peoples and
multitudes (Dan. 7:3. Rev. 17:15).
2. The drag net. The word “net” la
the authorized version Is properly
translated “dragnet.”
3. The net drawn to the shore when
full.
4. The assortment made by the
angels.
5. The destiny of the bad fish, or
wicked men.
He Draws Hearts of Men.
On that day when our Lord Jesus
Christ was lifted up. all sorts of peo-
ple were drawn to him. There were
those who loved him dearly at the foot
of the Cross. There were scribes, and
learned men. and aristocrats, and
priests and common people. There
were simple peasants from the coun-
try, shepherds from the hills, nnd a
motley crowd from the city streets.
There were Roman soldiers and (Jail-
lean pilgrims. It was a crowd repre-
sentative of all the world’s people, and
today when he is lifted tip even as of
old. he draws to himself the hearts
of men.
Johnson Returns To Capital Sunday.
Duluth.—Senator Hiram W. John-
son announced that he had abandoned
his proposed trip to the Pacific coast
to answer President Wilson's speeches
on the league of nations.
President Denounces Police Unions.
Washington—President Wilson, in
a telegram received by the local city
government, said that organization of
the police forces of the country for
the purpose of bringing pressure
against the public, should "nit b#
countenanced or permitted.”
The Work That God Appoints.
I am not bound to make the world
go right, hut only to discover and
to do with cheerful heart the work that
God appoints.—Jean Ingelow.
Paaa That Day In Peace.
You have only a day to pass on
earth; so act as to pass that day la
peace.—D* Lamennals.
To Live In Peace.
Paace Is the fruit of love; for to live
lr. peace, we must lenrn to auffer many
things.—D# LamennaP
