ing the offensive on our right wing,
we forced the Austrians to retreat,
capturing three cannon, ten rapid-fire
guns and over 1000 prisoners. Ac-
cording to statements made by the

VATIVElY.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 2.-W. B. Har.
rison, secretary of the Oklahoma
Bankers association, today sent let
ter to all member banks in this
state in which he explained the at
titude of the executive committee
of the association as developed at
the recent meeting in this city. He
made it plain that the committee is
not advising rushing cotton to mar
ket nor sacrificing it at any price
He showed that it is an impossibility
to hold all the crop and that it ought
to be marketed wisely and conserva
lively. He said that most holdins
propositions are impracticable, but
that the marketing should be SLOW
and conditions should be studied
The Oklahoma warehouse law was
commended and the bankers are en-
couraging construction of such ware
houses as a help to the banks and
all concerned in conserving the value
of the crop.
1t has been decided by the bankers
of Oklahoma, said the statement, moi
to attempt the formation Of a cur
rency association in this state. II

"There is danger of getting toe

the reason that it cannot be employ
ed as reserve in the banks, but re
quires additional reserve to handle

"Under the rules" said Mr.. Harri
son, "all the banks in the cottor
