SELVlDGE BUSINESS
COLLEGE NOTES

ANGEL carp, who has just been
named by Governor-elect Williams as
recording and executive secretary to
the governor is an honored graduate
of the shorthand department of Sci
vidge business College. Mr., carp is
splendid illustration OF what short
hand will do for young man who has
both brains and nerve. Mr.. carp was
stenographer to Governor Williams
when he was justice of the supreme
court. Governor Cruce showed his
appreciation of Selvidge business Col
lege by appointing two of our gradu-
ates To stenographic positions in the
executive office Misses Lavinia Wood
and Mary Williams
Selvidge students have been promi-
nent in politics all during statehood

of the senate, Mr.. Edwin Gait of the

Miss Marguerite Lawson did the
stenographic work and had charge of
the office during Congressman Car
ter's first campaign for congress and
was so successful in this work that
she was rendered the position of pri-
yate secretary to Mr.. Carter
So many Selvidge students have
been employed as stenographers in
the legislature that a kick has been
registered on the ground of partiality,

as Rag Town and as White City. An
effort was made to call II Franklin

John Whiteman, former society editor
of the Ardmoreite, who moved to that
town, but the post office authorities
object to double names and that name

suggested in honor of Congressman
Carriers daughter, but the office was
finally named Writ. There was never
any contention over the name, but
there was an eagerness TO get an of

At the Reichstag, where Red Cross
meeting was in session, word was re-
ceived from the palace that the great
est victory of the war had been won.
The schools will close tomorrow so
that the children may assemble to
celebrate the event.
The first intimation of the nature
| and extent of the Russian defeat WAS
received here last evening and circu-
lated in official quarters, but nothing
was known of it generally until the Of

vas not limited that a decisive result
was at hand. The official bulletin is
sued yesterday reported that the op-

of the official report. 1t is known
now that thousands of Russians have
been taken prisoners.
The first actual successes against
the Russians in the last few days ap-
pear to have been achieved by the
AuStranS in West Galicia. Here the
Russians, according to advices receiv-
ed from the zone of hostilities, we're
attacked simultaneously from two
sides-on their right by an offensive
from the eastward of Cracow and on
left by movement directed from the !
south.
The report that the Austrians are
following up the retiring Russian ar.
my from the south shows, in the opin. |
ion of military observers, that the |
Russians are being forced northward |
upon their forces in western Poland
Whether this retirement will extend |
to the Russians massed to the north
of Piotrkow will depend on the events
of the next few days,

Poland appears to be proceeding ac.

frontier say, without disarrangement

This oil column published yester-
day an item taken from the Musko-

Laation that there was probable part
,nership between the White a Sinclair
interests and the Magnolia Petroleum
Company. Our comment was that it
did not seem plausible and if a special
dispatch to the Oklahoman from Ba-
ton Rouge yesterday states facts, our
intuition was right. The dispatch
which we have taken the liberty to
publish, states, that the Royal Dutch
Shell and the White & Sinclair inter-
ests are working together. The ar
ticle reads:
Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 17.-That Ba-
ton Rouge will get another giant oil
refinery is now assured. The White
