Petrograd, Get 24.-(By mail to New
York; Fresh examples of the inge-
nuity displayed by German spies are
being discovered almost daily, and the
utmost vigilance has to be maintained
in territory occupied by Russian
troops Recently it became apparent
that information as to the positions
and movements of troops at InsteI5erg
was being conveyed to the enemy, but
try as they might the Russians could
not locate the spy or fathom his
methods. There were no telegraph or
telephone wires available, nor was it
possible for couriers to do the work.
BY day or night the so-called optical
connections photographs, lights,
smoke. etc, could not exist. yet the
Germans were obtaining accurate and
rapid information.

clusion that the only solution was sub

A. A. U. to Discuss
Radical legislation
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
New York, Nov 16.-'Many import
ant questions pertaining to track and
field athletics will be decided in the
annual meeting of the Amateur Ath-
letic union which opened today at the
Waldorf-Astoria. Several radical
amendments to the constitution of the
body have been offered by the var
ious associations affiliated with the
union. Inasmuch as notice OF these
amendments were sent out to dele
gates some time ago it is expected
that they will be prepared to debate
the propositions in vigorous fashion
One Of the amendments proposed
will permit athletes from West Point
and Annapolis to compete in amateur
track and field sports without the
formality of registration. This legis.
lation was suggested by the Southern
association.
Some delegates are hopeful that the
sixteen pound shot will 60 to be sub.
stituted by the twelve pound shot.
Others propose to abolish the pole
vault for distance and the fifty-six
pound weight throw for height.
Among the official business to be
decided is the request of San Fran
cisco for the privilege of holding the
national athletic championship in
1915 at the Panama Pacific exposition.
The coast officials are anxious to en-
phasize the athletic and sporting fea-
ture as much as possible and hope
that they may, get the sanction for the

the course of an encounter he would
collect abandoned Austrian rifles and

would employ them in firing upon the

W OULD

BELCIANS

Mayor ]. p. Burton today received
the following communication from
Frederick, Okla, signed by the Bel
gian relief committee 1t is self-ex-
planatory. "On the spur of the mo-
ment and without giving the matter
any deep consideration, cannot see
much to the project" said Mayor Bur-
ton. Il believe in aiding the sufferers
in every way possible, but cannot see
but that we have enough tenants OF
our own on Oklahoma farms"
The committee is separate from that
named by Gov. Cruce. The communi-
cation follows:
With a view to meeting the ball
made upon the United States for as
sistancc for the starving people of Bel
gium in a practical and permanent
manner a movement has been started
in Frederick to bring a ship load Of
refugees from the rural districts of
Belgium to this state and locate them
on Oklahoma farms. This plan has
been conceived as one which would
be of great benefit TO Oklahoma, as
well as to the families which would be
brought here.
"As you no doubt know, the Bel
gians are noted for their industry
thrift, their respect for the law and
many other qualities going up to make
them good citizens and desirable i'm
migrants. The Belgian farmer under
stands well the art of intensive farm
ing, and is said to make living from
a small tract of land. We believe that
any Oklahoma farmer with 100 acres
of land could well afford to rent a
portion of this land to Belgian fam
lily, and be better off for having done
so. To do this also would solve the
problem Of getting help for the farm
er's wife, a problem which is a SER
ions one on many farms.
"We have wired the Rockefeller
foundation. which is sending several
ships laden with provisions to Bel
GUM, laying this plan before Mr..
Rockefeller and asking if he would
consent to bring back to this country
such Belgian families as would want
to come here to locate providing this
plan takes definite form. Mr. Rocke-
feller replied as follows:

WHAT PEOPLE
Are SAYING

The recent article in this column by
Newcomer" interested me, and as
an old citizen | wish to express a few
thoughts suggested by her remarks.
About four years ago few Chicka-
sha women organized a little club for
the purpose of promoting musical in
terests," and f'raising the musical
standard OF our town. They have
been untiring in their efforts to live up
to their motto. Each year they have
made II possible for the people OF
Chickssha to hear world famous art
lists. II has not been money making
scheme-they figuring merely on Gov
ering expenses. Last winter we were
permitted to hear that most wonderful
violinist, Maud Powell, and | am told
that the ladies had two dollars in their
treasury when expenses were paid. Re-
peatedly our towns-people go to Okla
homa City and other places. paying
much more to see attractions of even
less merit, and yet we object to the |
price here. Does it seem more com.
mon just because it is here at home.
Fellow citizens, think what it means
to our little city to have such artists
here, bringing many OF the best people |
from the surrounding country to hear
them. II is one Of the best advertise
ments our town can have, and 1t seems
to me that the least any loyal citizen
can do, is to support such a cause
