krOn PrinZ Wilhelm Had Spectacular
Career-Needs Coal and Provisions
For Crew.
(By Associated Press.)

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 12.-
Coal, fresh water, meats and provisions
for three days were sent aboard the
German merchant raider Kronz Prinz
Wilhelm, which arrived here Sunday,
after an exciting career on the high
seas. The supplies placed on board
the warship today were intended to
prevent the spread of beriberi, caused
by unwholesome food, which members
of the crew have been forced to accept
through necessity during several days
past.
The Kronz Prinz Wilhelm left New
York August third, two days before
hostilities actually began in Europe,
and has been on the high seas since
that time. The warships during it's ca
reer destroyed fifteen vessels, most
British, and arrived here with sixty
one English sailors on board, these
having been taken as prisoners of war.
Many of the sailors of the cruiser
are confined to their hunks by illness
developing during the latter days 0f
thgir exciting voyage, and the health
of the entire crew was seriously
threatened until fresh water, provis-
ions and medical supplies were Sc
cured this morning. Many of the sick
sailors will be landed and placed in
local hospitals, as soon as arrange
ments can be completed for their ac-
commodation.
Lieutenant Commander Thierfelder,
who is in command of the warship, to-
day requested the United States au-
thorities to survey his ship, and will
later ask for time in which to effect
repairs and permission to fill his ships
bunkers with coal. Provisions for a
voyage of fifteen days will also be re-
quested by the German commander, in
all probability. He was in conference
with Port Collector Hamilton and
other government officials during this
morning, but no intimation concerning
the result of the conference was per-
mitted to become public.
One incident connected with the voy-
age of the Kronz Prinz Wilhelm that
promises to involve international COM
plications is found in the sinking of the
Norwegian bark Semanth by the
cruiser The Semanth was sent to the
bottom on February 5th, after being
overhauled by the Kron Prinz Wilhelm,
and the crew forced into small boats.
Commander Thierfelder's position re-
garding the incident is that the Nor
weeian vessel carried wheat, which is
on the list of contraband of war, and
having no port into which he could
carry his prize, it became necessary to
einly tho vessel
The charge that the warship let
New York at the beginning of its ca
r2er uncleared, in violation of the har-
Dor regulations and the United States
marine laws is being closely investi-
gated. In the meantime a naval pa
troll has been established about the
warship to protect it against hostile
attempts.

FRENCH REPORT
CONTINUED GAINS
AGAINST KAISER
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, April 12-Today's dis
patch from French sources on the con-
tinent report continued French gains
in the Argonne Forest and beyond the
Meuse, where German forces have been
been compelled to retreat, but admits
their counter attacks have been ex-
ceedingly fierce.
At Aparges, where the French scor-
ed an advance on April 9th, the forces
of the republic have been unable 10
follow up their victory, and today oc-
cupy the German trenches taken dur
ing last week. In the vicinity of St.
Mihiel and between. that point and
Ponta Mousson; the German counter
offensive has been partially successful
and some ground lost last week has
been re-occupied.
Situation DeSpell late in the East
The fighting in the Ca, pathians con-
tinues fiercely along a seventy-mile
front, where the Russians claim to
have repulsed a determined and des-
perately fought counter offensive in
augurated by the Austrians On their
eastern flank, the Russians are now
drawing near Uziok Pass, which COM
mands another easy road into the
plains of Hungary,
The situation in the east is described
today as a desperate one for Germany
and the dual monarchy, with tremen-
dous importance attaching to the abil-
ity Of the Russians to continue their
successe in that region if the French
drive in the west to be fruitful of re-
suits. The combined offensive along
both German frontiers and the tre-
mendous new forces the allies are now
able to pour onto the the battlefields
of the west, further endangers the
position of the German armies, and
a gigantic struggle, exceeding in des
peration and extent any battle here
tofore chronicled in the history of the
world is likely to occur during fort
night.
Prohibition Situation in England.
Interest in prohibition throughout
continues unabated today, and
supporters of the proposition to pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants at noon professed complete
confidence that such a measure will be
passed as soon as parliament assem-
bles. A proposition under which the
government would take over the in
dustry in its entirety, continuing only
the production of light beers, has
found much support among lukewarm
prohibitionists, and one newspaper
commenting on the situation asserts
this program is about to be adopted
by the government.

The Pet Pig.

The pig is valuable animal. But
il is less valuable than a boy or a
girl or man or woman. Some
pigs are regarded as pets, and in
many an Oklahoma town the pet pig
is housed and stopped in the back
yard. The owners of these pets are
often hostile to the suggestion that
the presence of the pig.sty, with its
filth, flies and stencil affects human
health. Recently, in one oklahoma
town of considerable size. all the
people save two agreed that pigs
and their pens should be kept at a
safe distance from human habitations
These two, however, declared that
no state or county official had any
sort of right to interfere with the
comfort and peace of mind of the
pet pig in small town. But this
particular town is so determined that
it shall be clean and sanitary that
the owners of the pet pigs will no
longer be able to disregard the rights
of their neighbors. The pet pig,
like the filthy alleys and open priyies,
will soon be undesirable in towns,
big and little, where there is OBJ
lection to typhoid.

(By Henry Clews & Co

New York, Dec. 26.-lt was a char
acteristiCally pre.holiday market dur
ing the week, the uncertainty of the
foreign situation being a further re
straining trading influence. The only
feature was a liquidation of January
contracts The first day for delivery
of January cotton is next Monday and
an evidence of pretty well liquid
ated speculative position was the
small amount of selling of this OPP
tion by belated longs II is doubted
if there will be any great amount OF
activity until after the turn of the
year. Meanwhile, the spot market
exhibits an exceedingly strong tone.
Special comment is made in the trade
upon the scarcity of low grades,
which are largely entering into con
sumption. Little if any so-called
"Christmas" cotton is coming on the
market and where it is being sold is
commanding full prices and does not
fall under the classification of dis
tressed selling Further evidence is
coming to hand indicating that the
textile business in this country is
proceeding on a record rd-breaking scale.
4 large majority of mills are running
on full time, while number of in
stances are recorded where estab-
lishments are working their opera
ity in the export cloth and yarn
market, South America, in particular,
being a large buyer, and American
manufacturers testify to the fact that
the market throughout Latin-America
is the biggest and broadest that they
have ever known Boston adVlceS
state that the product of fine cotton
yarn spinners is pretty well sold out
for the next six months. Orders for
coarse yarns are being placed for
delivery beginning in May and these
cover deliveries running through the
summer. From a domestic trade
standpoint the outlook is certainly EN-
couraging and there is every evidence
that home consumption of raw cotton
will break all records this season.
The export movement is somewhat
disappointing, but, as previously
pointed out this is due more to
lack of shipping facilities than any
thing else. Foreign agents, however,
are still buying in this market, and
there is every reason TO expect
continuation of purchases for future
shipment
The census report of cotton ginned
to December l3 caused little or no
comment, as it had been fully dis
counted. The figures We're regarded
by the trade as justifying the govern
ment's estimate of the size of the
crop and therefore were without any
important bearing on the market.
The cotton situation as whole is
satisfactory one, the shortness OF
the crop is now a fixed factor, while
the demand foreign and domestic,
both present and prospective, is such
| as to warrant the belief that we Will
approach the new season with normal
carry-over conditions restored

During the year 1916 the people
of oklahoma in every city, every vii
lage, at every cross-road and in
every rural community win be urged
to give matters of public health the
fullest possible consideration Not
only better health, but good health in
each family and in eacn individual
means larger incomes in dollars and
cents. as wei as greater happiness.
The Oklahoma State Board of Health
will attempt in many ways to con
vince the people that this is true.
and will ask the full cooperation Of
citizens in a statewide effort to con
trul and stamp out prey entable dis
ease in this state. II is scarcely less
than crime to permit such diseases
as malaria, typhoid diphtheria, pneu-
monia. scarlet fever and tuberculosis
to run without restraint in Oklahoma.
IMPROVEMENT must come by changing
ways of living in the homes, where
ignorance of what to do and how to
do it is responsible for most Of the
trouble. This movement for good
health is educational. The state
Board of Health asks every Okla
homan to give health problems in
1916 the same serious thought that
he gives to his business. Ey the end
of the year it should be possible for
for Oklahoma to declare one of the
biggest kinds of dividends known
in its history

BIG BARNES CIRCUS COMING

The Al. G. Barnes big 3-ring wild
animal circus will eXe.bit in Oroville
on Thursday, July %, giving perform
ances at and s p. III.
Much can be claimed for the origin
ality and genuine merit OF this big
circus. There is all the pomp and
splendor of the circuses We have
known in the past All the gl!ttering
tinsel, sawdust rings, inspiring music
and grand entrance OF stately horses.
ponies, elephants, performers and
clowns. Peanut and pink lemonade
vendors cry their wares and add to
the general spirit; yet, when the per
fcrmance starts, one instantly recog-
nizes wide departure from the con-
yentional. stereotypcd routine which
has prevailed since the earliest days
OF tented entertainment.
Instead of the usual, one sees the
very unusual in the Barnes program.
The principal acts are done by educat-
ed wild and domestic animals in two
rings and d big 5teoi-bdrred arena.
These animal actors number COO and
are trained to an amazing degree of
proficiency Such vim and dash do
tkey put into their work that not a
dull moment is experienced from the
grand cavalcade entry until the final
group of man-eating lions are driven
TO their cages.
There are acrobats, jugglers, aerial
performers, high-divcrs, bare back
riders and all other forms of circus
entertainment, but, instead of people
appearing in the acts, wild and domes-
tic animals take their places. Lions,
leopards, pumas and bears ride gal
Looping horses; sea lions juggle balls
and other articles, dogs and monkeys
jump from the top of the tent into
nets; elephants act as clowns and do
many other comical things; high
school horses and beautiful ponies APP
pear in brilliant dances and military
drills, in fact almost every species OF
animal is shown as an actor.
Twenty-four maneating African
lions are introduced in one act, the
most sensational wild animal act ever
shown. Sixty tigers, leopards, pumas,
jaguars and bears are presented by a
coterie of young women trainers.
A great arraylof clean, clever COM
edy permeates the entire program pro-
vided by fifty comedy elephants, dogs
pigs, goats, monkeys, ponies, Zebrus
and danger, dynamite-mules.
A glittering, mile-long street pa
rade in which six bands take part is
presented to the public at 1920.
