nary Citizen.

Princeton, Sept. 22.-President Will
son paid a flying visit to his former
home here today to vote in the Demo-
cratic primaries. He was met by only
q small group of students and members
of the faculty, as college does not open
until Thursday. Mr.. Wilson, accom-
panied by DIR. c. T. GraysOn and Pro-
fessor Stockton Arson and secret serv-
ice men. went directly to the polling
booth in a fire house. A small crowd
followed him.
A Republican was ready to vote and
the president waited for his turn, re-
fusing to allow the other voter to step
aside. Mr.. Wilson was handed a Dem
ocrat ballot. and after looking at 1t for
a moment he entered the enclosure and
marked 1t for the denomination Of
Representative Allan Walsh.
He also voted for three members of
the general assembly and for sheriff.
Then he handed his ballot to an elec-
ton officer and left after giving Pro-
fessor Axson time to vote.
The president visited the athletic
stadium now under construction, his

ly-but giving ground. The German
center and left have seemingly given
up the attempt to assume the offensive
and. should the left give way, the in
evitable outcome must be abandoned
OF their entire present line just the
instant it gets out of proportion with
the right.
The fact that the allies now hold
the hills north of the Aisne river,
from scissors to Craonne, proves con-
clusively, it is pointed out here, that
the German reinforcemerts sent to
Won Kluck have failed to permit him
to assume the offensive. He can
maneuver no additional men without
extending his line to the west and this
the present distribution of the allied
forces preclude. as they hold every
point Of Vintage directly west Of the
German right wing.
Although it may be some days be-
fore the movement can get complete
momentum, the French officials here
declare today there is not the slight
est doubt that the Germans have al
ready commenced Withdrawing and
that the Rattle of Aisne, the third de-
cisive conflict of the war to date, is
to be settled with a second victory re-
ported for the allies. They openly as
sert that the destruction of the
Rheims cathedral emphasizes that be-
lief in their minds, the German plan
of campaign to date having been
chiefly remarkable for he terrible
damage wrought through methods
dominated by revenge.
Russians Press Austrian Line
Petrograd. Sept. 22.-That the main
Russian army has pressed on after
enveloping the Przemysl- line
along the San and is moving against
the chief Austrian position was the
substance Of today's war Office state
ment. 1t announced that the opera
tfons were of necessity slow but that
they had not encountered any opposi-
ton that has required any change in
the original plan of campaign.
1t is considered certain the real re-
sistance- on a large scale will be en-
countered along the line of the Cra-
COW fortif1cations. There the Austrian
reserves have been masaed and heav-
| lily reinforced by the German Land
wehr CORPS which have been especial

Ten days of the most furious1y con-

KING SHOT TRAITOR.

Paris, Sept. 22.-The Progress
Du Nors today relates a remark
able story of the king of the Bel
gians shooting his chauffeur while
the latter traitorously attempted
to drive him into the German lines.
The king was with his troops
south of Antwerp. He ordered his
chauffeur to drive ahead and
then, after a while, the king no.
ticed that the driver had changed
his direction.
His majesty warned him and
when the chauffeur took no notice
ordered him to halt.
This having no eeffct the king,
convinced of the chauffeur's
trcachery, drew his revolver and
shot him dead. He himself
stopped the car and drove back to
the Belgian lines.
In the mans clothing papers
were found showing that he had
received a German offer of $780,
900 for the kings capture.

+ 1T would, however. be a great error

Observation-Disclosures there can be no

likely that some regions will store

OIL MAN STRIKES 1T RICH.

The stories of fortunes that have
been made in Oklahoma oil companies
are almost unbelievable, but anyone can
easily verify the facts. 1t is reliably
reported that the income of one oil
millionaire is now $1,000 per day, and
1t Is said that this man came to Tulsa
years ago with only $40 in his pocket.
There is hardly man, woman or chiia
living in Tulsa who is not Interested
in one way or another In the oil bust
ness All this territory is rich In oil
and gas and it Is said that over ninety
per cent of the companies operating
in this district have been successful.
1t costs about $4,000 to drill well
but when you get a production of 100
barrels per day, which is reasonable
average, it does not take very long
for a well to pay for itself and as you
can drill a well to every five acres.
a small tract of land can easily make
millions of dollars.
Two of the most famous oil fields
in the world are the Glenn Pool and
the Gushing Pool The Gushing field
was opened up by two men who had
less than $500 between them. What
promises to be another valuable loca
ton is the field which has just been
opened by the GREAT WESTERN re-
TROLEUM COMPANY, which lies be-
tween the Gushing and eileen Pools
and is said to be an extension of these
productive areas. Wells are now being
drilled, and it is expected that oil will
: be produced in tremendous quantity
