British Statement.
BY United Press.

by Ouitcu IltS1.
London, Nov. 3-The official press
bureau stated this morning that the
allies had been on the offensive in
France since October 90
1t was declared that the Germans
who are fighting on the British battle
front are only partly trained and are
suffering from lack Of food.
Success will favor the side possess
ing the most endurance and capable Of
flinging fresh forces into battle as
they are needed" said the official
statement in the course of an extended
review Of recent operations.
The fact that Germany has been
compelled to order her reserves and
new classes to the front is taken here
to indicate that her losses lately have
shattered the morale Of her active
army.
1t is declared that the new German
troops cannot be as effective as the
perfectly trained units which failed to
gain success either on the road to
Paris or to the seacoast towns.
The allies are reported to be receiy-
ing reinforcements.

HAMPTON COURT
SINGERS PLEASED

If there were any of the audience
that packed the O. c. w. auditorium
last night who were not fully satisfied
with the concert given by the Hamp-
ton Court Singers, in the second num-
Der of the lecture course, they failed
to make their displeasure known, but
joined heartily in the tremendous ap-
plause that followed every number
rendered by the entertainers.
Seldom, if ever, in Chickasha has an
audience been with company nor a
company with an audience as was evil
denced last night. The efforts of the
entertainers well merited the applause
for they were clever, versatile and
highly pleasing. Their songs OF the
sixteenth century with costumes OF
that period scored a hit with the audi
ence. Their program embodied songs
from juvenile to the heavier variety
and were at all times highly entertain
ing. Their second part consisted Of
an Irish skit, attempting nothing elab-
ate in the way Of costumes, but none
the less effective in its rendition. Ap-
parently there are no stars in the
company, but every member contri-
butes alike to the entire success.
The members of the company are
Misses; Georgia Sherman, soprano
Ethel Wakefield, contralto; lone Hart
accompanist and monologist; Messrs
Edgar Brown, tenor, and Floyd Stew

WANT NO PEACE.

Before the outbreak of the present war David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer in the British cab inet, was nearly a professional paci- ficist There was constant friction between himself end his colleague, Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, over the latter's insistence on plans for naval increase and na- val preparedness. He was a Little Englander" as opposed to the follow CTS of the imperial idea. He was the actual antithesis of "jingo."
 There is therefore more than usual significance in his remarks made in the Commons last week on the pros poets of long war. He said: We are fighting an enemy who cannot suffer any terms that we can accept without smashing defeat. There fore, if there is any doubt about the length of the war, I, as chancellor of the exchequer, must assume the long, CT period"
 Other professional pacfcists ill England have given utterance to de- cidedly similar sentiments on sever al occasions since the war commenc- ed. To man they have held that, now that the war was started, Eng land can give no consideration to any proposals, should they be made, which contemplate a return to the status quo which existed before the war started, because, as they all agree, a peace of that kind would mean that, soon or late, the war would have to be fought all over again. They are not only reconciled to, but they insist upon a war to the bitter end, whatever that end may be-
 With such views entertained and expressed by the pacifcists of coun- try, it may be assumed that all talk of trying to bring about peace may as we'll be dismissed into the future. -EX.

Germans Diary of Hardship.

PARIS.-The Temps reprints from the Phare de La Loire extracts from diary found on the body of Ger man, who crossed the Yser canal northwest of Dixmude. In part it says:
 "Oct. 24.-The enemy's artillery is causing frightful loss, which ours is unable to prevent because it is so we'll hidden. Yet we must advance. We have no food. Some have tried dead horse, but were unable to eat it. The water is putrid and the wounded are intended because the ambulance has not crossed the stream.
 Oct. 25.-The only result of the bat tie is further awful losses. What will be left of the division?
 "Oct. 26.-The dead and wounded are everywhere. The colonel, major and most of the officers are already gone. All the units are dreadfully muddled. We are no longer regi- ments, battalions, and companies, but debris, wandering haphazard under the enemy's fire. It is impossible to continue, yet they want to push us forward"

Many Bullets for a Life.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-A correspond ent of The Standard, telegraphing from a town on the Belgian coast says:
 Tt has been calculated by an off cer of a mathematical turn of mind that the weight of bullets required to kill man in this war is some thing like 168 pounds, or more than the average weight of man him. self. This is in spite of the immense improvements in modern weapons, as compared with those in previous great wars"
 The bullets used by the four na- tions fighting on the western battle front weigh on the average about 220 grains each.
 Reckoning on the basis of 168 pounds of bullets, as estimated by the military statistician on the Bel gian front, it would require approx imately 5,860 bullets to account for every soldier killed.

THE MACHINE AND THE TASK.

The United States government has wonderfully complete organization covering every part of vast domain. No city is too large, nor hamlet too small, to feel it's contact. It caters to every class, operates twenty-four hours day and knows neither Sun days, holidays nor vacations. It is a marvellous machine whose poten- tialities are but dimly appreciated.
 It is now proposed to utilize this great government organization in an attempt to handle the problem of un- employment, The suggestion is new, but moments thought shows the possibilities it opens up.
 No one believes that unemployment is a disease afflicting only the ne'er do-well and the inefficient It's causes lie deeper than the personal equation. It is a national, or even an interna- tional, manifestation, affected but not controlled by local conditions. It is a subject to which the federal gov ernment, representing all the people, may we'll devote time and study, if a practical method can be devised.
 We have a labor depar' ment, pledg- ed to promote the interests of those who work with their hands. We have a postoffice department linking every section to all the others, an agricultural department and a de- partment of commerce. Here is the skeleton of an organization we'll calcu- lated to harmzonize conditions be- tween sections, to acquaint one with the requirements of another, to give one in need what another may have in super-abundance.
 No government is likely to abolish unemployment, in this stage of eco homie experimentation, but govern ment may accomplish much. Much though far from all, of the suffering and loss occasioned by lack of em ployment is due to poor distribution of labor. The jobless man and the manless job often have no way te learn of each others existence. They need some agency of communication
 And why should not the nationa government devote it's great organiz ation to help solve this problem, fl it can be done without detriment tt it's essential functions. States ant municipalities have established em ployment bureaus. The federal gov ernment may do so some day.
