Berlin Optimistic.
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Berlin. Sept. 2S.-The official report
issued this morning by the German
general staff was more optimistic
than any given out since the war be-
gan. 1t claimed distinct gains for the
Germans at many places in the wide
theater of war.
According TO the official statement
the Germans have forced the French
back on Clermont and st. Mennhould.
The bitterest fighting was reported on
the German right, where the allies
have been heavily reinforced. 1t was
declared that heavy losses have been
inflicted on the allies by the German
bayonet charges.
In the eastern campaign, the reports
are equally as optimistic as in the
west 1t was stated that the German
advance in Russian Poland has been
pushed vigorously and the Russian
claims of victories were denied.

BOYS AGE
IS PUZZLE
TO COURT

1t is customary among horsemen to
examine the teeth of the animals to
ascertain the ages, rather than to rely
upon certain statements made in that
respect by the owners, yet it is lit
tie unusual to peer into the mouth of
a youngster to ascertain his age, or
or to call q specialist to make such ex-
animation. While this did not exactly
happen before Judge N. M. Williams
it was seriously considered.
Jess Shirley was up on charge of
stealing a revolver from the home of
farmer near Alex. In the course of
the examination he was asked his age.
He promptly replied that he was 49,
The youngster admitted that he shaw
ed, evidence of which could be readily
distinguished. Though questioned
closely the boy still maintained that
he was but one year past the dozen
mark.
Judge N. NJ. Williams is considered
O fairly good judge of boys and their
ages and it was plainly evident that
he associated the lads statement with
the truth but lightly Eventually he
called local dentist and asked ii the
age of a child could be told by the
the teeth. The tooth carpenter replied
that he could tell within a year or two
atl east. Judge Williams wanted to
be exact as to the age, revolving in his
mind the difference between the Gran
ite and Pauls Valley state institutions,
hence the dentists testimony.
Mr.. Henley Of Iowa, who is visiting
relatives in Chickasha. came to the
boys assistance and persuaded Judge
Williams to allow him charge of the
lad. After much deliberation, the lad
was turned oyer to Mr.. Henley, who
will take him back to Iowa. keep him
! on the farm and give him also the op
portunity OF an education.
