Auto Show at the Fair

Numerous inquiries are being made
concerning the Auto Show which will
be held for twelve days at the Okla

the general public. In fact only q lit
tie available exhibit space remains.
Automobile dealers in Oklahoma and
the Southwest are planning to attend
the show in body. A movement Is
now on foot in various sections Of
Oklahoma to organize local associa-

A proclamation has just been issued
by the French government announcing
that the government departments will
be transferred temporarily to Bor-
deaux.
The proclamation was issued by the
mayor of the interior who said the de-
cision had been taken solely upon the
demand Of the military authorities be-
cause the fortified places of Paris,
while not necessarily likely to be at
tackled, would become the pivot of the
field operations of the two armies.
The building Of supplementary de-
tense work is proceeding vigorously.
Several OF the gates OF Paris have been
closed to traffic.
The proclamation follows:
"Frenchmen: For several weeks our
heroic troops have been engaged in
fierce combats with the enemy. The
courage of our soldiers has won for
them a number of marked advantages
But in the north the pressure OF the
German soldiers has constrained US to
retire. This situation imposes on the
president of the republic and the gov
eminent a painful decision.
ITO watch over the national safety,
the public authorities are obliged to
leave for the moment the city Of
Paris. Under the command of its EN-.
inent chief, the French army, full Of
courage and spirit, will defend the
capital and It's patriotic population
against the invader But the war
must be pursued at the same time in
the rest of the French territory.
THE struggle for the honor OF the
nation and the reparation of violated

None of our armies have been broken.

VIVA, Enoineers Saw.

Two American oil engineers who
have reached London from Roumania,
from Budapest and Berlin, bring some
interesting stories Of the scenes they
witnessed on their trip. Breslau, and
in fact the whole of Silesia, they said,
were heavily mined. and they also
witnessed great aerial activity in Ger
many. Food was extremely cheap in
Berlin, they said, and all restaurants,
even the best, had largely reduced
their tariffs. Business was proceeding
as usual, though recruiting stations in
Inter Den Linden had hundreds Of
men waiting TO be taken into the
army. They visited the flying stations
and estimated that over fifty Zeppel-
ms were in readiness to start at any
time. There were also hundred
or more aeroplanes there and there
was immense activity in constructing
new craft and training men. Scores of
aeroplanes were seen in the air at
one time by them, each carrying a
learner. From the general converse
ton they heard while in Germany,
they gathered that there would be a
combined attack by the naval fleets
at an suspicious moment.

CAS- REQUEST TO SEND
CRUISER WITH GOLD.
CONTAINED GOLD FOR YANKEES
Has No Right to Close Straits to War
shIp-ThInk by Time Vessel Reaches
South, Turkey viii Have Declared
War-How This Country Stands.

Washington, Sept. turkey has
declined to grant the request OF the
United States for permission to send
the cruiser North Carolina through the
Dardanelles to Constantinople to de-
liver $4,000 in gold deposited here
for the relief OF Americans in the
Ottoman empire.
The grand vizier has informed the
American government that the waters
OF the Dardanelles have been mined
and that 1t would be unsafe for a
vessel as large as the North Carolina
70 20 through the straits.
He declared also that IL might es-
tsblish precedent for the passage OF
other foreign warships and suggested
that the American naval yacht Scor-
pion, on duty constantly in Turkish
waters along with other light vessels
that serve foreign missions, be sent
TO sea to meet the North Carolina.
This was the substance of a long
cablegram received at the white
house and state department today
from Ambassador Morganthau, the
first message from him in several
days. He made no mention OF any
declaration of war, but referred to
the diplomatic situation as highly
critical.
In view OF the delicate situation, the
American ambassador suggested that
the plan of sending the Scorpion TO
meet the North Carolina outside the
straits be adopted. The incident was
discussed at the navy and state de-
partments today, and the North Caro-
lima, now at Falmouth, England, will
start tomorrow for the Mediterranean.
She probably will touch at Italian
ports and take aboard Assistant Sec
rotary Breckenridge, reaching the
Dardanelles in week or ten days.
BY the time OF her arrival, officials
expect Turkey will have declared war
on either Russia or Great Britain. In
that event they deem it more pru-
dent to keep the cruiser away from
the scene of possible naval conflicts.
The United States never has recog.
nized the right OF Turkey TO close the
straits to foreign warships In time
OF peace, although European powers
have agreed to IT, The American gov
eminent has merely recognized the
custom. Of excluding foreign warships
as a usage"

British Sink II
German Ships

London crews OF several de-
stroyers which have arrived here say
that at least eleven German vessels
of various sizes were sunk in the en-
gagement off Helgoland.
Towards the end of the battle, some
English pinnaces engaged in picking
up Germans who were struggling in
the water were followed by the Ger
man squadron and had to beat has
ty retreat, leaving the men to their
fate.
The naval engagement between the
British and Germans of Helgoland
lasted about eight hours during which
the fighting was sharp and terrible,
according to dispatch to the Even.
ing News from Harwich.
The correspondent says that this
description of the fight was given by
crews of the British destroyers which
took part in the engagement and have
arrived at Harwlch.
Helgoland is German island terri.
tory in the North Sea, off the north.

An official statement in describing
the action between the British and
German warships off Helgoland says:

men, all of whom, with the exception
Of 80, we're allowed to return home

Jap Army Landed on China Soil.
The German legation at Picking has
protested to the foreign office against
an infringement of China's neutrality
by Japan The protest followed the
landing of Japanese division at the
newly-opened Chinese port of Lung
Kow, 100 miles north Of Tsing-Tau
News of the Japanese landing caused
no surprise as the Japanese lega-
ton several days ago requested the
foreign office to remove the limit OF
the so kilometers (about 80 miles) ra-
dius prescribed by the Chinese as their
fighting area around Tsing-Tau. The
foreign office did not comply with the
request, but 1t was understood that
the Chinese troops would be instructed
not to oppose the Japanese. The
Chinese officials are described as in
censed, but afraid of doing anything
that might afford the Japanese a cause
for territorial or other exactions.
Whether British forces will cross
Shantun peninsula with the Japanese
is not divulged, but the point is being
much discussed. 1t is estimated that
