Washington.-Germany in note on

assurance that American vessels

France Confident Allies Are About To

Paris.-Not since the battle of the
Marne have General Joffre's forces at
tanned such pronounced and clear
cut success as the one tersely de-
Bcribed in the communique.
The advance along II miles to a
depth sometimes Of nearly three miles
across strongly fortified intrenchments
disproves the generally held theory of
q deadlock on the western front and is
clear proof of the contention that
Joffre can get the Germans into the
open when he wishes.
Good News From All Fronts.
OF the highest significance is the
tact that the Champagne victory comes
at moment when good news for the
Allies is made known from all fronts.
During the last two days the Germans,
who for almost three weeks had been
harassed by a perfect avalanche of
shells along the western front, have,
with the Austrians, been fighting the
bloodiest battles III the eastern region,
while Italy has advanced to within 10
miles east of Trent and 10 miles west
of Trieste.
These facts coincide with important
developments in the Balkan situation,
and 1t would be mistake to consider
each one Of them a separate success
They are all closely linked in one we'll

The Question At Issue.

1t Is not known as yet what attitude
the United States will take in it's
next note, but it is understood that it
NAV reiterate its insistence that the
treaty of 1928 and not existing inter
national law make American vessels
immune from destruction irrespective
Of their cargoes. Germany, however,
is anxious to submit to arbitration
what the meaning of the treaty is on
this point, and 1t is possible that if
no further cases Of damage occurs
during the tendency Of the arbitra-
tion proceedings the American govern
ment will be disposed to await the de-
cision of the arbitral tribunal.
One thing which attracted atten-
tion in connection with the German
note was the evident necessary Of sub
marine commanders under their new
orders to exercise the right of visit
and search with respect to all Ameri-
can vessels to determine the nature of
their cargoes.
The fact that Germany referred to
its desire to demonstrate "its con-
ciliatory attitude" toward the United
States was regarded by many off,
cials as evidence that the Berlin
Foreign Office was disposed to avail
itself of every opportunity to remove
causes that have led to the strained
relations between the two govern
ments.

Good roads would be worth millions

CAS- to the bad farming: Some Of
it may be due to ignorance, and some
to shiftlessness. For the first, let
an instructor be appointed to hep
out the ignorant farmer, and tell him
few things and explain to him in
regard to rotation of crops, stock and
its care, etc. And then pass some
laws in regard to the destroying of
certain weeds. They have these laws
in other states, and if the shift'ess
farmer does not heed them, his wide
awake neighbor will see that his
memory is logged.
But first get after your roads.
When the outsider finds there is a
good stretch of road along a certain
way, the traffic will increase, and
more people-more value. The shit
less one will brush up, and realize
that he has someone looking on. Farm
values will soar, and more crops come
to market-which means more money
for the country merchant. And a.so
might say that the country mer-
chant will take an interest in the
country roads little more, the town.

ROYAL THEATRE PRESENTS
BETTY NANSEN THURSDAY

Betty Nansen, who is seen at the
Royal Theatre on Thursday, in the
William Fox production of THE Song
of Hate" powerful modern photo
play based on Sardous famed La
Tosca," is today a beautiful queenly
woman at the full height of her mar
velous dramatic powers. She is
slightly more than medium height,
with a splendidly proportiOned and
serenely graceful figure. Her face is
marvelously expressive, rejecting ev-
cry passing emotion as smooth
millpond reflects the cloud shadows
and wind ripples. Her forehead is
that of the student and keen in
tellectuality radiates from her every
feature. Her lips are mobile and her
smile most infectious; but the most
extraordinary effect she produces
upon all who see her is with her
large, strangely moving, pearly gray
eyes.
DO you like acting for the photo
drama?" Miss Nansen was asked
Picture acting is an art quite diff
ferent from the spoken drama" was
the reply, in almost perfect English,
for since her engagement by William
Fox in this country the actress has

full skill. THE technique is utterly
different,-more difficult, in fact; but
it is perfectly wonderful what results
you can get. And how marvelousiy

MILITARY ROADS NEEDED.

The thought of the world for more
than year has been steadfastly
fixed upon military operations, and
the war spirit has become a conta'
gion. Our own country is preparing
to spend half billion on its navy
and will train as many as nall
million soldiers The thought of the
country is well nigh a unit upon
preparations for war Congress will
be upheld by the people in making
lavish expenditures for the protection
of our coast country from attack.
In this connection the United States
cannot overlook the importance which
military roads will have upon the
mobilization Of an army in case Of an
attack. Soldiers without means Of
transportation would be worth no
more than tin soldiers. Transcon-
tinental highways should be built from
the interior to all the ocean and gulf
fronts The railway companies codld
then be assisted by the automobile
in transporting men and munitions to

THE OAKMAN FARMER.
Lesson Taken From the Man VINO
Succeeds.

In the issue of the Daily Oklahoman
of Sunday, Oct. II, is a story OF a
,armer named Hutchinson who llves
near Oakman, Okla, who, according
to the headlines of the article, has
SOLVED the problem Of cheap living.
On reading the article, one discoi-
ers that Mr. Hutchinson has not ut
earthed anything startling but is sirl-
ply a type of what is known as a
good farmer"
Sad to relate, this particular type
is not any too frequent in some parts
of Oklahoma-and, it might be said,
in some parts of Kansas, Nebraska,
TeXas,-and several other states.
A successful Iowa farmer was be-
ing driven to an inland town scmc
few miles from Ardmore few days
ago. This man is the owner OF sew
eral hundred acres of high-grade land
in the corn belt of Iowa, and is some
what of an observer. When asked
what he thought of the country, his
reply was somewhat along the follow
ing line
You have a splendid country. Your
soil is rich and deep. Your climate
is superb. Your land ought to ri!se

wind would carry the seeds of the
weeds for miles around
There isn't farm that we have
driven past that could not be made
to produce four times what it has
this year, by proper rotation of crops.
What would be your suggestion
as remedy for the conditions as
YOU see them" was asked.

man. as he took a fresh grip on the
