NATION RESPONDS
TO COTTON NEED
OF WAR HOSPITAL
"Mail an Ounce of Cotton to
Save a Human Life" Be-
comes Slogan.
BY the United Press.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-"Mail an
ounce of cotton to Vienna or any
other point where wounded soldiers
are being cared for and save a human
life"
That slogan promises to become
the most popular of any in recent
years here in Washington. Responses
today were coming to the suggestion
by w. G. Shepherd through the
United Press that Americans. as hu-
name neutrals, send cotton to Aus
tria. where there is none, and also to
the Red Cross organizations of other
warning nations.
= In the absence of Miss Mabel
Boardman, head of the National Red
Cross. DR.. T. NJ. Phillips, in charge
of the furnishing of surgical sup
plies, said the American Red Cross
warmly approved the idea. In the
meanwhile, he said, the American Red
Cross will send medical supplies
along. Mr.. Shepherds story clearly
revealed for the first time that Aus
tria is practically completely cut off
from the balance of the outside
world. She has been unable to buy
cotton because the demand for the
medicated kind is greater than the
supply. Every steamer that carries
United States mail to Mediterranean
ports can carry small packages from
q humane American public, and it
will be rushed through to Austria
without any interference by the war
ships of the allies.
At the Red Cross headquarters 1t
was stated that Shepherds account OF
the great need in Austria was the
A ~tRDTa
had received. Dr. Phillips stated that
every effort was being made to send
cotton and other supplies everywhere,
but that the task was tremendous.
The Red Cross of America has sent
since the war broke out 232 800 pounds
of a. orbent; $500 pounds of nom
absorbent cotton, and 485, 400 yards of
absorbent gauze abroad. This is in
addition to large quantities of surgi-
cal supplies of every sort, instruments,
etc, and 100000 in cash.
1.-THE plan proposed by the United
Press is practicable" said DR.. Phillips.
"But everyone should realize that
what is most desperately needed is
sterilized cotton. Ordinary cotton,
untreated. is of course, good for pad
ding splints and for work of that sort,
but for dressing wounds the prepared
cotton is needed. And the sending by
everyone in this country who can do
so. Of say only a single pound of cot
ton, would relieve the scarcity that
exists all over the battle area of
Europe.
"Sending an ounce or pound of
absorbent cotton to Vienna or to any
other place where the wounded lie
would seem to me to be one of the
most appropriate notices that Could
be planned for the Xmas season"

JAPAN DENIES
CH|Nk'SCHARGE
OF BRUTALITY
Declares Stories of Pillage and
Attacks on Chinese Wom-
en- Unfounded.

TOXIC, Oct. "a correspondence OF
the Associated Press) The following
official statement has been made TO
the Associated Press concerning the
charges made in China that the jap
anese army has been guilty Of pillage
and the dishonoring Of Chinese
women.
IAN investigation concerning al
legged acts of brutality imputed to our
expedftionary forces at kiauchau
shows that they are distorted YER
sions of acquisitions legitimately made
by armies in course of war. The re-
port that our soldiers have committed
acts of brutality towards Chinese
women is without foundation.
"If Chinese have been wounded or
killed it is because they attacked q
detachment of Japanese troops who
were in a state of legitimate defense.
The baseless charges against the
japanese army are doubtless founded
on the following Incidents;
ION September 16 Japanese soldiers
at Heiriten entered a Chinese home
to buy fruit, when they were sur
rounded by a band of menacing vii
layers. Being in danger, the japanese
fred blank cartridges to frighten the
Chinese, but without result. Attacked,
they defended themselves by using
bali cartridges. One Chinaman was
killed and one wounded. We consider
this a case of legitimate defense.
ION September Is at Laishyu
soldier attached TO the eommissariat,
being assaulted by a Chinese coohe,
struck the coolie over the head with
a. sabre and wounded him. This also
was an act of justihable defense, car
ried out in the exercise Of duty
Canfa,11bar 20 a soldier of the
guard was on night duty at Nanshan,
when. a Chinaman tried 10 seize his
rifle from behind. In the ensuing
struggle the Chinaman fiercely resist
ed arrest. The soldier was forced TO
wound his assailant with his bayoner
and later the Chinaman died. This
also constituted q legitimate act"

900 Austrians
Ride to Death
in Sunken Road
BY the United Press.

MUNICH, Nov. I.--(By messenger
TO LondOn)-AUstrie has its sunken
road like WaterIoO's. The HOnved
cavalry, Vienna's biuest blood,
butchered itself in hollow In
GaIicIa on October 4. In charging
over unknown ground they piled
into a deep ditch.
The bodies of the 900 men were
crushed with the bodies of their
horses. All the horrors of the
charge at Waterloo were repeated.
Within ten minutes what had been
VIenna's proudest cavalry regl-
ment WAS only q gigantic mass OF
mixed man and horse flesh. The
officer who ordered the charge
killed himself.
The sunken road tragedy at
Waterloo forms part of Victor
Hugo's famous description of the
battle in lies Miserables." The
French cavalry, $500 strong, had
thundered past Napoleon In review
to charge the English lines. Sud
denly, Dubois's brigade, on the right,
came to the brink Of the sunken
road Of Ohain, which formed con-
cealed ravine twenty-five feet deep
between the French and English
positions. Hugo's description then
proceeds:
Horses and riders rolled there
peII-mell, grinding each other,
forming but one mass of flesh in
this gulf; when the trench was full
of living men, the rest marched
over them and passed on"

HOW TO
FIGURE
7: G.. !. ! ! Z [ANO TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES
OPINION TO STATE
AUDITOR

Assistant Attorney General Charles
L. Moore has advised the state auditor
as to a method OF computation of the
the law passed bv the legislature last
spring requiring that tax Shall be
levied on land in excess OF $40 acres
owned by an individual Assistant
Moore says that the computation
should be made on each $40 acres
separately. Following Is his method:
The first GAO acres owned is exempt
from the graduated tax; the second
$40 acres, mill; the third $40 acres
2 mills; the fourth GAO acres, mills;
the fifth GAO acres, S mills; the sixth
$40 acres, 10 mills; seventh GAO acres
and over, Is mills. A person may have
$4,000 of assessed value in real es
tate as exempt from the tax, regard
less of the amount OF acreage; thus,
the first $40 acres of real estate not
exceeding $4,000 in value is exempt.
In a second letter to the auditor,
Assistant Moore says that under the
graduated tax law, no provision is
made for deducting from the assessed
value Of lands subject thereto. the
value OF the improvements on said
lands, but the calculation is computed
on the whole assessed valuation OF
the land ad valorem for the preceding
year. including these improvements
which formed part OF the realty. If
the land is sold after the lien attaches
reads the letter. the land would pass
to the purchaser subject to the tax
lien in the amount OF such tax as is
finally fixed. An owner in good faith
selling and transferring the same
prior to January 10, 1914 is not re-
quired to list same with the auditor
for the purpose of a graduated land
lease tax.

Bull Moose Convention at
Oklahoma City, Feb. IS

/. State and County officers, they can
not hope to have anything different
to that which has been exemplified
ever since statehood.
The State Of Oklahomaeto today is in
debted in the sum of Seven Million
Dollars, and has been O. state only
seven years. This indebtedness has
Il all been created by those placed IN
power by the Democratic far;y.
The Constitution adopted by the
people OF this state sought to avoid
and prohibit the state becoming in
ldebted, and limited the am 1unt TO
100000. but this provision of our
Constitution has been ignored and
violated by the Democratic Party.
The Supreme Court of this state has
held that the Indebtedness is valid
and binding upon the citizens of this
state.
In order that those who are
prompted by sense Of justice. may
accomplish their desires, 1t Is neces-
'sary that some concentrated action
be had. e
What we say in This call is not
prompted BY desire to reflect upon
anyone, but comes from a sense of
duty that every citizen owes to the
state.
Therefore, a call Is hereby made
for State Convention of the Pro-
gressive Party to be held in Okla
hona City, Oklahoma, at Ten A. M
on the 25th day Of February. 1914,
for the purpose Of electing State
Chairman; to adopt platform; and
transact all other business that may
come before the convention.

should be called for the 25th day
of February, 1914.
| We regret. the conditions existing
in the state and county affairs which
require all men to join all honest mer
in an united effort to relieve against
the unjust levy of taxes and foolish
extravaganza.
The Republican Party of this state
is composed of bosses who think they
control 1t and are the same ones that
lhave plundered the Republican Party
and promoted its downfall. Theirs
years old tactics have deprived the
people OF free expression Of their
choice for Officers and legislation.
The Republican bosses who recent
ly met in Oklahoma City and called
a convention for Tulsa are hoping
and trusting that the country is 60
ing to go from bad to worse; that
men by the thousands will be out Of
employment: that wives and mothers
and children will be hungry and des-
titute. They believe that If this con-
dition comes about Republican Con-
gress will be elected next fall and
that this will be the turn in the tide
of their getting back into power. The
proposition is one Of the most mon
strous that has ever been presented
to the American voters Men who
seek political power with such
thoughts in their minds, who are will
ing to create and use such means to
accomplish their ends, who can even
contemplate such conditions, ought
to and must be driven from public
life; political party that yields to
such men can have no future. There
lis no language too strong to use in

whatever Of people, who have regard
for the perpetuation OF the free insti-
tutions Of this country, for better
conditions for the working people and
our people as whole, ever affiliat-
ing with these men again.
