eign minister says: "A line between
Thanh, twenty-five miles southwest
of Komar, Alsace and Altkirk, the
first position occupied by the French
invasion in Alsace, is held today by
our army. This line runs slightly in
the rear of Muelhausen. Our troops
have kept the Vosges passes and dom
mate the heights of Alsace.
Small unimpOrtant engagements
have occurred along the whole line
where the French and German armies
are facing each other from Belfort, OPP
posite southernmost, Alsace to Liege,
Belgium. In these the French caval-
ry was always superior to the German
cavalry, and the artillery was splend-

May Pass Through Holland.

London, Aug 12.-Dutch dispatches
report terrific cannonading today near
Tongress, north of Liege, where it is
reported two divisions of the German
cavalry are engaged with the Bel
gian artillery.
1t is anticipated that the Germans
will attempt to cross Holland, as they
have requested Holland to state her
intentions on neutrality.
Paris reports that the Montene-
grins have occupied Tarbasch, Ger-
looking Scutari, in Albania.
Rotterdam dispatches say that the
German crown prince was not in the
Liege fighting, although his regiment
is in Belgium.
The German version of the Liege
situation is General Stems official
statement denying the loss of twen-
ty thousand men, but not estimating
the number of dead.
Stein says that only small num-
ber of the Germans attacked the
Liege forts, masking the movements
of the main German army, and that
the Belgian forces were numerically
superior to the Germans. Stein says
that the Liege forts were not taken
because of the wish to avoid unnec-
essary loss of German lives, but that
they will be captured without the
loss of man, when the heavy Ger
man siege guns arrive there.

GOVERNOR JOHNSTON THINKS
TREATY WITH THE TRIBE WILL
BE ADHERED TO y PLEASED
WITH APPOINTMENTS

Governor Johnston of the Chicka-
saw nation was here today from his
home at Emet. He was en- route to
Duncan, where he goes on business
trip. Governor Johnston is greatly
pleased with the appointment of at
torneys to look after the rights of
the individual agents in the nation.
The Chickasaw attorneys who will
look after the probate matters Of this
tribe are J. B. Moore of this city,
Judge Woods of Purcell and Reford
Bond of Chickasha. Governor John
ston said that three better men could
not have been given these places.
He was especially loud in his praise OF
J. 3. Moore. for the manner in which
he attends to tribal affairs and for the
exhaustive reports which he makes to
the Interior department.
Mr.. Bond has spent much of his
time in Washington for the Indians,
and the greater portion of the probate
matters have been left in the hands
of Judge Woods and Mr. Moore, and
the governor is we'll pleased with the
work of both of these men. He is of
the opinion that Mr.. Bond will be able
to be of great service to the Indians
in Washington. When Mr.. Bond is
given an opportunity to appear before
the Indian committee of congress, the
governor believes that he will be able
to convince the committee of the in
Justice of the John Sharp Williams
proposition, to open the rolls to the
Choctaws still residing in Mississippi
The rolls were closed in 1907 and
they can be reopened and payments
to the Indians can be delayed only by
the breaking Of solemn treaty right
provisions, and the governor believes
the Choctaws will win out in their
fight

BOB WILLIAMS
IS NOMINEE
BY 1900 VOTES
JUDGE ROBERTSON WHO WAS
SECOND IN RACE ANNOUNCES
HE HAS QUIT AND PROTESTS
MUST COME FROM OTHERS.

oklahoma City, Aug. 11.-Judge
Robert L. Williams of Durant Is the
nominee of the democratic party for
governor of Oklahoma, according to
complete official returns from seventy
| four OF the seventy-seven counties OF
the state which had reported to the
state election board up to Tuesday
night
The vote stands 1886 for Williams
and 80, 450 for Robertson, giving VIII
liams a plurality of 1886 over the
Chandler man.
Kiowa, Washington and Tulsa coun-
ties are the three which had not
made their returns to the state board.
The returns from these counties, it is
believed will make no material change
in the result shown on the face of
returns from the seventy-four coun-
ties which have reported The vote in
these counties, it is said will increase
Williams plurality to a little more
than 1000.
Judge Robertson who filed pro
| test with the state election board sew
eral days ago against the count in
several counties in the southwestern
part of the state, which gave Williams
a large plurality, stated Tuesday
night that so far as he personally was
concerned the protest would not be
carried out. The protests, he said,
were made in his behalf by his friends
and supporters, and with them rested
the question of whether the protest
would be prosecuted.
Robertson Quits.
81 have gone as far as | can. My
financial condition is in such shape
that | must quit now. If the people
of the state who supported me, care
to protest the nomination of Judge
Williams, they may do So" said Judge
Robertson Tuesday night.
Official returns give the following
vote on judge of district No. thirteen
from Oklahoma and Canadian coun-
ties: George w. Clark, 4,710; w. r.
Taylor, 3,S19; ]. j. Carney, 1858; Jno.
W. Clark, 1850; White, 2,317. These
figures prove the election OF Judges
George W. Clark, w. r. Taylor and
John j. Carney.
On the face of returns now in the
hands of the board, and without Of
fetal tabulation, it is possible to tell
the results in several of the contests
for state offices.
The nomination which appears GER
tain are w. i. Alexander, of Oklahoma
City for state treasurer; A. p. Watson,
of Shawnee for corporation commits
