AMERICA WILL
STAND BY j. 8.
OPPOSE EMBARGO ON ARMS URG-
ED BY AUSTRO HUNGARY -
PLEDGE SUPPORT TO AMERICA
IN CASE OF WAR.

Chicago, H., Sept. 2O.-The Bohem
ian National Alliance of America has
issued proclamation declaring its
opposition TO the proposed embargo
on arms which is being urged by the
Austro-Hungarian government. The
association indorses the policies of
the United States and expresses It's
willingness to respond to any call in
defense of the American flag
The proclamation reads in part
THE time has come for former
subjects of the Austro-Hungarian gov.
srnment to emphatically and unequ.v.
ocally declare that they are utterly
opposed to the Austrian government
in its demand for an embargo upon
the shipment of arms and ammunition
and that the threat alleged to have
been made as to the mobilization OF
former Austrian subjects and Aus
trian residents of the United States
is the sheerest sort of insolence and
impudence.
when the Austro- Hungarian au-
thorities speak of the mobilizatio
of their former citizens living in the
United States they willfully close
their eyes to the fact that the ma
jority of the Austro-Hmgarian popu-
lation is entirely out of sympathy
with the desires Of such government
and with German desires. The Bo-
hemians (Czechs), unfortunately
enough, are still under the iron heel
of the Austro-H Hungarian absolute sm,
but they are not in sympathy with
the aims of these governments in the
present war, and the American citi-
zens of Bohemian extraction are only
too glad to have severed all ties that
have ever bound them to the Austrian
government
The proclamation declares that it
is the desire that the United States
remain at peace, but, continues the
proclamation, IF such a thing does
happen as war between America and
Germany and Austria, which we hope
may be prevented Bohemans and
former subjects of the Austrian gov
ernment will flock by the thousands
to the American standard, and be-
meath the Star Spangled Banner, and
they will furnish the American gov
ernment more than a few regiments
of trained men willing and anrious
to die for the rights of humanity and
for the cause of liberty, justice and
independence, as the European Bo-
hemians (Czechs) have furnished
many thousands of men to France
and Russia"
The proclamation closes with the
statement that american citizens of
Bohemian birth are as proud of their
ancestry as the descendants of the
Pilgrims, but we owe no
divided allegiance and we stand as
a unit to see America as prosperous
and peaceful as possible, and in this
regard we shall spare no sacrifice and
no step necessary to uphold the hands
of those representing the United

RANCHMAN CHARGED
WITH CATTLE THEFT

McAlester, Okla, Sept. 19.-On in
formation given by Campbell Leflore,
who last week pleaded guilty to cattle
theft and accepted sentence of five
years in the state prison, w. H. Har-
mon, prominent Pittsburg county cat
tie man, was arrested on a cattle-theft
charge and released on 81 200 bond
Harmon, according to Leflore's state
ment, furnished the money to start a
new cattle ranch, purchasing a small
bunch and establishing brand which
could be made by corruption of the
neighboring ranch brands and manipu-
lating arrangements for picking up ad-
ditional cattle off the range.
Leflore was charged in three cases.
Four others, including Oren Bayless, a
16-year-old girl, were arrested on a
charge of being implicated in the same
thefts Leflore's other two cases are
to be dismissed and all other defend
ants, except Guy Wilkerson, are to be
discharged on consideration for Le-
flores turning states evidence

AID THE KIDNEYS
more Citizen Shows You the
Way to Avoid II

Why will people continue to suffer
the agonies of kidney complaint, back
ache, urinary disorders, lameness
headaches, languor why allow them
selves to become chronic invalids,
when a tested remedy is offered
them?
Doan's Kidney Pills have been used
in kidney trouble over so years, have
been tested in thousands of cases.
If you have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, act
now. Dropsy or Bright's disease may
set in and make neglect dangerous.
Read this Ardmore testimony:
Samuel Bird, SIS Fifth Ave, s. E.,
Ardmore, says: "My back and hips
panied me. l was bothered by too
frequent and distressing passages of
the kidney secretions. After taking
various medicines without being
helped, l was advised to try Doan's
Kidney Pills by a relative whom
they had cured of a similar com
plant. Immediately used this rem
edy and two boxes drove away the
trouble"

CAN'T PREVENT CANAL SLIDE
Owners Of Vessel Sunk at Balboa Fail
to Recover Damages

New York, Sept. 19.-Federal Judge
Hough, in a decision rendered here to.
day, sustained the contentious made
by the government in the admiralty
suit for 100000, brought by the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company, as own
er of the steamer Newport, against the
Pan-American Railroad Company.
On August II, 1912, 23O feet of the
bulkhead of a pier at Balboa, Canal
Zone, collapsed, throwing $4,000 tons
of earth and two large electric cranes
into the water. The steamer Newport,
which was alongside the dock, was
sunk.
Judge Hough held that the slide was
peculiar to the canal zone section and
that there was neither any means of
prevention nor method of ascertaining
the imminence of slide.

WIDOWS PENSIONS WILL

Oklahoma City, Sept. 19.-County
Judge Zwick, in moment of leisure,
(Which for him is a rare thing( an
nounced that he intended to devote
the whole of next month, if necessary,
to looking after the numerous applica-
tions received by him from widows
relative to the widows pension law.

we have not been able to take care of
the applications so that the mothers
could have the benefit of the pensions
during the time they are starting the
Youngsters to school. But the excise
board, the insanity commission and
the jury trials of the numerous boot
leggers and gamblers have kept me
so busy, | have not been able to give
the widows the attention they should
have had
However, | intend to devote the
whole of next month, if need be, to
trying to straighten up the 200 or
more applications which have been
filed by the widows of this county. |

plications a day, if not bothered by
other affairs, and am going to lock
the doors and do my best"
Jury trials and other matters will
be showed into the discard, Temporal
rily, according to Judge Zwick, so that
the anxious widows who are looking
forward to the time when their appli-
cations shall be granted, may rest as
sured that their pleas will be heard
within the next thirty days.

two men, who Sheriff Barger be-

McLain is small town few
miles south of Muskogee There has
been much opposition there recently
to the enforced stock dipping, me
farmers asserting that they believed
in the campaign, but did not believe
1t was carried on intelligently.
Farmers declared that they were
losing many cattle, some of which
died even while in the vats and 9TH

the regulation requiring every COW
to be dipped twice month has proved
too severe or an improper solution
is being used.
Sheriff Bargcr sent Deputy b. G.
Hughes to McLain Immediately upon
hearing of the dynamiting. The Of
ticer reported that because of re-
cent heavy rain, he had been unable
to secure accurate measurements of
the tracks of the two persons who
had come through McLain to The

NEEDED TO SAVE
LIVES AT r. r. CROSSINGS

If auto drivers were as careful as
street car drivers, collisions between
automobiles and trains would be as
rare as those between trains and
street cars. Before a trolley car
crosses a steam road at grade, where
there is no human flagman one mem.
Der of the crew goes forward, looks
both ways and listens. If the road
is clear, he gives the come ahead"
signal If not, the car must not m I'VE
until danger is past. Suggest this
procedure to the auto driver and ne
smiles.
Unnecessary" "a waste of Time" :"
and "too much bother" are some of
his excuses. Yet this one simple pre-
caution would, if followed, practically
eliminate the grade crossing horror.
There are more and stronger reasons
why the auto driver should be more
careful than the motormGn. The mo-
torman is prohibited from talking
to passengers. There is no such pro-
hibition for auto drivers. The motor
man must pass a rigid examination as
to eyesight, hearing, steadness of
nerve and sobriety. The auto driver
is subjected to no such test.
Therefore, even if the conductor did
not go ahead and flag across, the
motorman would still be more apt
to effect a safe passage than the auto
driver, who oftentimes is driving and
does not have his mind concentrated
on the business of driving.
Another thing. To the street car
employe the passengers are so many
persons" Perhaps he could call
none of them by name. If one should
sicken and die, he would not shed a
tear. Yet he protects bis charges
with extraordinary care. The law de-
mands it, the rules of his company re-
quire it, and his best judgment dc
tates it.
The auto drivers passengers are
usually his kith and kin Their lives
are as precious to him as his own.
If one should die, his heart would
bleed Yet he races across a rail-
way track looking neither to the
right nor the left (as careful obser-
walton shows a vast majority do)
and then calls unreasonable and un-
necessary for his adoption those pre-
cautions which street railway com
panies take to safeguard the lives
of those in whom they have only
a passing interest.

Not a Question OF Cost.

1t is not matter of damages. If
you think it is, Mr.. Automobile Driv-
er, what will you take for your daugh-
ter or your son?
1t is a rule of law in nearly every
state in the union that the highway
traveller at a railroad crossing must
look and listen at place where Re
can look and listen effectively; that
he must look and listen both ways,
and that il by doing so he could
have seen a train and avoided col
lision with it, and a collision occurs,
the presumption arises that he either
failed to look and listen or was heed
less of what he saw and heard, in
either of which events he would BE
guilty of negligence barring recovery.

SHORT ENLISTNIENTS

The common sense way of attract ing men into the army and navy would De to have short term enlist meuts. of course. All the eXperi- eucgd officers of both branches of the the service s2y so, and it is easy enough 70 understand, why. The average man does not want to bind 1imseI to g contract to serve a number of years in any trade or profession which is entirely new to him. IL he likes it well enough, he may be quite willing to stay past the term of his original enIistmeat, but if he finds the life tcksOme, he does not want 70 be bound to it for several years. So long as this country is not committed to a policy cr general enlistment it is plain enough that the only way to attract young men to a reasonable course Of training is, mauifestly, to make the invitation satisfactory, And if it should ever be decided to make army enlistment compulsory it would be a great economical mis- take to keep a great body of young men for years out of all chance to establish themselves in their life work.-Bostou Daily Advertiser.

FIRE FIGHTERS
 ARE BURNED OUT

Colfax, Wash. - City Marshal Brooks Mackey saved the lives of four men, who had been locked in the city hall jail as sleepers early one morning, several days ago, when he discovered the new city hall q mass or flames around the jail department. The fire, of unknown origin, started in the women'G rest room or in the adjoining fire de- partmert room. The main fire equipment was burned and the fire department was compelled to use the hose from sub-statiOns, which caused delay. Building and con- tents were covered by insurance. The loss is estimated at about $S,- 5O9.
