BRITISH POSITIONS sroRMEp.

London. - The Germans attacked
with vigor and in great force the
British positions near Ypres and made
their onslaughts from three directions
north, northeast and southeast, with
the object, said the British military
experts, of cutting off the British from
contact with the French and Belgians

ground and that a farm southwest OF
st. Julien was taken in a bayonet

several machine guns falling into their

The French, on the other hand, said
the counter-attacks of the Allies con
tinue with success and that the British
hold all their positions. The French
were said to have made considerable
progress to the north on the right
bank of the User Canal.
Paris repeated the charge that the
Germans used bombs containing as
-phyxiating gases, and the German
press justified the use of these mis-
siles on the ground that the Allies
have done likewise.

SUFFRAGE LAW DEFECTIVE.
Measure Providing for Referendum
Subject of Controversy.

Measure Providing for Referendum
Subject of Controversy.
A special session of the Legislature
may not be necessary to correct de-
fects in the bill providing for an cleo
tton on the oma suffrage amend
ment to the Constitution and the two
other amendments to be voted on,
October 10 next.
Linton Satterthwaite, counsel for
the suffragists, discovered that under
the bill, as finally passed, the third
section provides that ballots shall be
prepared by the several county clerks,
and that no other ballots shall be used,
while under the eighteenth section a
similar duty is imposed upon the Q c
Rotary of state.
1t lis Mr.. Satterthwaite's opinion that
the conflicting provisions would be
sufficient to invalidate any election
that might be held, although this view
is not shared by Governor Fielder or
the attorney-general's Office. Score
tary of State Martin said:
There is reason to believe that the
law calling for a special election on
Constitutional amendments, including
woman suffrage, is valid, in spite of
the complications in the framing of
the statute, but if there should be any
doubt as to the legality of the election
set for October 10, it is pretty certain
that a special session of the Legisla-
ture will be called to enact a proper
law. Suffrage will not fail to get a
square deal no matter what efforts
may be necessary"
Assistant Attorney-General Herbert
Boggs, upon being requested for an
opinion, pointed out informally that
under a wellestablished rule of Judi
c1ad construction, where conflicting
provisions are found in the same bill,
the latest declaration is accepted, un-
less it would %invalidate the entire act.
Mr.. Boggs thought that if the secre.
tary OF state prepared the ballots there
could be no question as to the validity
OF the election. He win give a formal
opinion within the next few days.
The woman suffrage proposition has
encountered so many mishaps that
advocates of the cause are naturally
suspicious, and it is not unlikely that
a demand will be made upon Governor
Fielder for a special session Of the
Legislature to correct the evident con
fict In the special election bill.

Vetoed by Governor.
Governor Fielder disapproved Sen
ate 297. The Governor said:
81 am not satisfied that the change
in practice with respect to new trials,
which this bill would provide, is wise.
1t would permit the losing party to
move to set the verdict aside. with an
appeal from the allowance or denial OF
such motion and If the party who
moved to set the verdict aside were
unsuccessful he would still have an
appeal upon the exceptions taken dur

German Concerns to Come Here.

German Concerns to Come Here.
The announcement is made that two
great German C will come to
this state in a short time to begin
the manufacture of chemicals and an
aline dyes.
According 10 John Fulton, Jr., Of
Elizabeth, the Stuttgart Chemical Com
pany, of Stuttgart, Germany, has Sc
cured through him an option on,a large
piece of property near that city and
will shortly acquire the land for the
purpose of establishing a factory.
The Stuttgart company is one of the
strong German chemical manufactur-
ing companies. It's officers and owners
+ mostly Germans, and the presi-
dent OF the concern had never been
in this country until a short time ago.
The company win bring to this coun-
try it's chemists, and Mr.. Fulton is at
work trying to secure the services of
other American chemists to assist
them.
The other rs is the Leipzig An
aline Company, and is at present To-
Gated in Leipzig, Germany. 1t will
manufacture analine dyes for the silk
industry.
Both concerns will build plants to
employ about 600 men at the start.
This is only one manifestation of the
establishment at an early day of great
plants for making dyestuffs.
Edison's New Department.
The Thomas A. Edison plant at Sill
yer Lake has increased its force and
added analine oil to its List Of pro-
ducts.
A man largely interested in the
manufacture OF dyestuffs said:
1T is stated apologetically that if
we were to adopt American-made dyes
we would have to be content for a
time with a limited number of modest
shades. There need be not the slight
est restriction in the variety of colors
and tones on all materials.
Restriction will come in classes Of
dyes having particular methods Of
working and fastness under certain
conditions, which dyes are recently
patented by foreign manufacturers and
which could, however, be made here
if the owners of the patents were re-
quired by Federal law to lease shop
rights in this country to validate their
patents, as foreign countries demand.
'@The points in favor of the Germans
in the manufacture of chemicals,
drugs, explosives and dyestuffs from
coal tar are briefly these: Unlimited
capital, accumulated from past success
along these lines; wide practical ex-
perfence from years of work; the reel
procal support of their universities;
Iow-priced labor and the moral support
of their nation.
Against these conditions we have
at present in America capital which
must be risked on the uncertainty of
political conditions; little or no en-
couragement from u domestic uni
vers5ties; the highest+priced labor
known per unit of work performed;
patent laws that act against our own
interests, and an Indifferent public,
who fail to see their own interest in
the matter"

necn Test nj NcMl,irk

NEWKIRK, Okla, Nov. 2O.-With
the price of oil at its present figure
and actual work starting on deep
test well seven miles southeast
coupled with the fact that there are
nearly one hundred producing shallow
wells in the local fields, NewSirk Is
experiencing genuine oil boom.
The deep well test in question Is
being drilled bv the Creek Petroleum
company of which Judge James K,
Armstrong of the oklahoma criminal
court Of appeals is the animating
figure. The mOney-$2j, ,OOO-set
aside for the test, all will be utilized If
necessary, according to Judge Arm
strong. The well will he drilled to a
depth Of 3 800 or $500 feet. depending
on the depth at which the Bartlcsvllle
sand is reached.
The southeast field already Is de-
veloped to the extent of As shallow
sand wells, varying in production from
10 TO 100 barrels. Hence, with as
fine indications as any Oklahoma
field ever presented for gushers at a
depth of $500 feet, the oil interests
here and elsewhere anXiOusly are
awaiting developments of the deep
test.
This well is located on the southeast
corner of the north half of the north
east Of section 10-27-3e on the Bigger
staff farm. The contractor began
building the rig last week and will
commence actual drilling this week. 1t
is the announced intention of Judge
Armstrong to rush the work to com
plcton with the greatest possible dis
patch
