There were more automobiles seen
on the streets of Tulsa Sunday night
than at any previous time in this
City's history. This from an old
timer who has been here for years and
who knows whereof he speaks.
It was little short Of wonderful. the
display of automobiles that made
walking dangerous mode of locomo-
ton. There We're big cars, little cars.
cheap cars, expensive cars, clean cars.
dirty cars. old cars and new cars.
Automobiles of every type and de-
scription thronged Msfn street in an
endless procession.
The "old town" looked good. Neigh
boring cities sent hundreds here to
attend the ball games and 70 partake
OF the advantages found only in Tulsa.
As result, a surging, jostling. busting
crowd Of good -natured humanity
thronged the sidewalks and gave to
Main street the appearance OF a real.

1t was good to live, good to mix

DECLARES LONDON HAS NO DECLARATION OF IN
 TERNATioNAL VALIDITY.
SAYS PRIZE COURT NOT FINAL
Claims Many Questions Would Have to Be Discussed After the War United States Is Privileged
 to Ask Arbitration.

London.-"The declaration of Lon, don has no international validity and adoption of the declaration by an or der in council does not involve the creation of an international tribunal" ]" said the Marquis of Lansdowne, min- ister without portfolio in the British cabinet, in answer to a series of ques- tions put by the Earl of Portsmouth in the House of Lords. "We have adopted the declaration only with very considerable and important mod ifications, and we adopted it only par tially and for the guidance of our own courts"
 The Earl of Portsmouth's questions were submitted with view to elicit ing the exact position of Great Brit ain with regard to the declaration of London and to setting at rest or con- firming the reports that Lord Read ing had made an arrangement with the United States government for the reference of claims to an international tribunal after the war.
 On the latter point the Marquis of Lansdowne referred to the communi- cation of Sir Edward Grey, the for eign secretary, on July 31 last, stating that it was open to Washington to claim that disputes in regard to the decisions of prize courts should be submitted for review by an interna- tional tribunal, and remarked that Sir Edward Grey's statement only con- mitted Great Britain to a resort to ar bitration as a proper means for the liquidation of disputes as provided in the arbitration treaty concluded with the United States last year.
 Lord Lansdowne pointed out that England was fighting in cooperation with her allies and that uniformity in the conduct of naval affairs was de- sirable.
 It was no less desirable that the prize courts of the allies should have some principles laid down for their guidance. The declaration of London was already to hand, and was the only ayajlatle summary of views held by many people in regard to these ques- tiohs, and it therefore was adopted with notifications.
 There were a great many questions, said the minister, which would have to be discussed after the war, and freedom of the seas might be discuss ed like the others. He did not call to mind any statement by Sir Edward Grey that he was prepared to commit the government with regard to the question of the freedom of the seas.

WHEAT IS SEIZED FOR
 USE OF ALLIED ARMIES
REVISED ESTIMATE PLACES THE AMOUNT AT 2o,oOo,oo0
 BUSHELS.

Ottawa.-The Canadian government has commandeered all high-grade wheat in elevators from Fort William, on Lake Superior, to the Atlantic coast.
 The action was taken by the Ga. nadian Grain Commission under the special war act. The wheat selzed was of grades l hard and 1, and 3 northern It was the property of grain shippers and millers. That taken is all which was in pubic elevators at Fort Williams, Port Arthur, Midland, Tiffin, Port McNicholl, Collingwood, Goderich, Kingston, Port Colborne, Prescott, Quebec, St. John, Montreal and Halifax.
 A revised estimate places the amount at 20,000,000 bushels. A con. siderable amount IS the property ot American grain dealers.
 The grain was taken so that grain exchanges should be affected as little as possible. It is stated officially that the price will be fairly adjusted and the grain owners promptly paid by the Canadian government. It is esti mated that there still is in Canada in the hands of the farmers and dealers west of Fort William 150,0OO,000 bush. els surplus of wheat available for ex. port. It is expected that most of this will be taken in the future for the use of Great Britain, France and Italy The domestic supply of Russia is more than sufficient to meet the needs ot that country.
 Had the Dardanelles been forced the surplus of Russian wheat would have made the present action unnec. essary. While the wheat just taken was commandeered to fill an order from the British government for a large quantity of wheat, it is under. stood most of it will be shipped to Italy
 The Canadian government will look after the transportation of the grain to the Atlantic seaSoarl and from there it's shipment across the Allan tic will be undertaken by the British government in the same way that shipments of oats and hay have been handled for the past year.

THIRTY KILLED IN
 POWDER EXPLOSION
COMPANY OFFICIALS SAY THEIRS WERE ABOUT 5000 POUNDS
 OF POWDER IN PLANT.
SEVEN FATALLY INJURED
Theory Advanced Is That Explosion May Have Been Caused by Spark From Horses Shoe or Car Run.
 hing Over Spilled Powder.

Wilmington, Del.-Thirty workmen were killed and seven injured in an explosion of about four tons of black powder at the Upper Hagley ward of the Dupont Powder Company. It was the worst accident that has oc. cured in any of the company's plants in 25 years. The cause of the blast is not known.
 A statement issued by the companv said the origin probably always will remain mystery" A searching in. vestigation has been instituted There was the usual rumor that some outside agency may have caused the explosion, but officials of the plant say there is no evidence to support such n theory.
 Nearly all of the victims of the blast were youths between 16 and 21.
 The explosion occurred in packing house, where black powder pellets are prepared for shipment. Much of the powder was to be shipped to Europe
 At 1:30 a slight explosion was heard, followed by another. a trife heavier, which was quickly succeeded by terrific blast that rocked the whole valley and shook and startled Wilmington. When the smoke disap- peared there was only big hole in the ground marking the spot where the packing house had been.
 Twenty-six men were in the pack ing house when the powder went off, and not enough of any of them was found for identification, with the ex- ception of Allan A. Thaxter. foreman, whose home was in Portland, Me. Part of his body was found hanging on tree across Brandywine creek. It was identified by shreds of clothing that chung to it.
 Company officials said there were about 5000 pounds of powder in the packing house. The property loss was small.
 The men injured were outside the plant. They were struck by bits of machinery, flying boards, rocks and other debris. They were rushed to hospitals. One or two had been blinded, and several lost an arm or q leg Physicians said they were so badly injured that none is expected to survive
 One theory advanced by workmen at the yard Is that the explosion may have originated in spark from horses shoe or from a spark caused by small car running over some spilled poNder.
 The shock of the blast struck ter TOT to the hearts of residents of set dement's along the Brandywine, ac- customed as they are to powder mill explosions. Every home in the neigh borhood is represented among the employees of the plant. There was a rush to all the gates by relatives and others to learn if anyone had been killed. Every entrance was barred by uniformed and armed guards.
