CHAS. D. CARTER
A MEMBER Of
INDIAN COM.
OPPOSITION TO RE.oPENlNG OF
TRIBAL ROLLS APPRECIATED
BY INDIANS AND WHITES ALIKE

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Congress-
man Charlie Carter who represents
the Ardmore district in congress, and
who is now the ranking member of
has devoted much of this time while
a member of congress to Indian mat
ters. AS a member of the joint con-
gressional commission, of which Sen
ator Robinson of Arkansas, is chair
man, he is even now engaged in an
investigation of Indian affairs gener-
ally throughout the United States, and
largely upon the report submitted by
this commission will depend the fu-
ture policy to be pursued in relation
to Uncle Sans treatment of his wards.
Congressman Carter has consistent
ly, day in and day out, fought against
any further opening of the rolls Of
the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklaho-
ma. About year ago he was named
as chairman of subcommittee of the
House Indian committee to conduct
hearings upon the bill introduced by
congressman Harrison, of Mississippi,
providing for the enrolment of thou
sands of Mississippians as member
of the Choctaw tribe in Oklahoma.
The hearing of this bill was only con-
cluded week or so ago, and no re-
port will be submitted to congress be-
fore next winter, but it is safe to as
sumo that if the Indian rolls in Okla
homa are again opened, it will have
to be over the dead body" of Con-
gressman Carter. He is a firm be-
lever in the fact that the Mississippi
Choctaws were accorded every oppor-
tunity years ago to affiliate with their
brothers in Oklahoma. They refused
to move West, and now, after a lapse
of three quarters of a century, Mr..
Carter does not believe the rolls
should be reopened. He Believes II

MORE THAN HALF THE SIZE OF
OF EMPIRE AREA IN EUROPE
EMBRACED IN COLONIES CAP
TURED SINCE THE WAR BEGAN

New York, Sept. 2S.-Germany has
lost territory more than half the size
of the empires area in Europe since
the war began by the capture of her
colonies.
The only German colony against
which operations have not been re-
ported, is Kamerun, which borders
the Gulf of Guinea, in West Africa,
The territory is partly surrounded by
British, French and Belgian posses
sions and has a population of only l.
700 Germans in its 191 square miles
Its deadly climate for whites may be
the reason why it has been unmolest-
ed.
The German colonies now occupied
partly or wholly by the allies, are
Kaiser Wilhelms Land, area 10000
square miles; Togoland, area 33, 700
square miles; Samoan Islands, 1000
square miles, and Bismark Archipela-
go, are 10000 square miles, a total of
124,700 square miles.
The European area of the German
Empire is 2OS,7S0 square miles. Colo
nies three and a-half times this size
are now being invaded, or shortly will
be- They are:
Colony-German Southwest Africa

Decisive Battle Raging.

London, Sept. 29.-The supreme
clash of arms denoting the app0ach-
ing close of the tremendous fortnights
of practically unceasing battle along
the four rivers flowing through the
northeastern portion of France has
now been in progress more than four
ty-eight hours without bringing a de-
cisive result.
Both sides claim encouraging, al
though slight gains. Field Marshal
Sir John French commander of the
British eXpeditionary force, is spend
ing his sixty-second birthday in main
tanning what his latest communica-
ton to the war offices describes as a
satisfactory situation"
The Germans have steadily met as
sault with counter assault until the
trenches of the opposing armies are
only sprinting distance apart.
Already there been some work with
Tile Slttl III
but except at a single point where
they forced passage across the
Meuse the Germans, half of whose
army is kept busy on the Russian
frontier had up to Sunday night found
it impossible to break through the
human barrier stretching across
France.
In the terrific struggle of the past
fortyeight hours, the hardest fighting
has been, as 1t was at the battle of
the Marne, between the German right
and the allies left.
The official war information bureau
issued the following late yesterday:
There is no change in the situa.
tion.
The Germans have gained no
ground, and the French have advanced
here and there"

AUTO THIEVES

At v WORk
FORD MACHINE OF r. A. HOWARD
TAKEN FROM HIS BARN LAST
NIGHT. NO GLUE AS TO WHO
COMMITTED THE CRIME.

Automobile thieves are getting pop
ular in many sections of the country,
but until recently the fad had not
struck Ardmore. Now, however, it
seems to have broken out with a ven
geance, and last night the machine
belonging to II. A. Howard was taken
from his barn, and the number and
hood stripped from it, and the culprit
or culprits made a getaway without
leaving a trace behind them.
The police have been troubled a
little in the past with this sort of
crime, but it has always been the
work of some irresponsible boys, and
aside from a reprimand by the Off
GERS and the parents of the guilty
ones, they have been let off. The
time has arrived now, says the chief,
that the next one caught, must suffer
the consequences, whatever 1t may
be. The track of Howard's car could
be traced no further than the street,
but the officers are at work on the
case and hope to make a landing be-
fore night.
Mr.. Howard and his family were
out riding as late as $3.50 last night,
and when he arose at 900 this morn
ing, the machine was missing with
the number and hood left behind as
of his Joy wagon.
