ger of failure Indicate that serious
land campaign along Gallipoli has not
begun.
Similar lack of credence attaches
TO reports that the Anglo-Frcnch
fleet has forced it's way any consider
able distance into the Dardanelles.
The persistent statement that sixteen
miles of the passage have been won
is quite beyond belief. The warships
may be two or three miles past the
entrance forts. but it is not probable
they have gone much farther. De-
fenses such as guard the Dar-
danelles, even if weakly manned, can
not be overcome at the rate of sew
clal miles a day. If they are subdued
at all, it is more because of inferior
skill on the part Of the garrisons than
superior gun fire by the attacking
squadron.
There is nothing to prevent Ger
many sending expert artillerists into
| Turkey. travelling as private citizens
by way of the Constantinople rail-
road through Roumania and Bulgaria
Without doubt, this has been done
since the bombardment began. But,
only limited number of gunners can
be spared from the other battle fronts.
Turkish troops must continue to form
the chief part of the Dardanelles de-
! fense force, and Constantinopule's
safety depends on their Oriental abil-

Of A
NOTED INDIAN
At F R An k 6
SERVED AS NATIONAL TREASUR-
Err UNDER FIVE TRIBAL ADMIN
lSTRATlONS - FRANK BYRD
WAS BUSINESS GENIUS.

DR. c. Mccoy of this city learned
early this morning of the death of
Frank BYRD, which occurred some
time last night at his home at Franks,
Okla. Mr. Byrd went to bed last
night feeling as well as usual, and
the discovery was made this morning
that he had died during the night.
Frank Byrd was one of the best
known Indians of the Chickasaw ma
tion. He had served his tribe in
many capacities, and no work that he
ever undertook was neglected, and
he was never false to a public or a
private trust. He was national treas
urer of the Chickasaw nation under
five different administrations
of Governors Overton, Benjamin, Bur
ney, w. l.. Byrd (his brother), and
James Wolff. He was also national
agent under Governor Harris admin
istration. During all these years
when Frank Byrd handled the tribal
funds of his nation, not a penny went
astray He was held in the very
highest regard by his tribesmen and
was respected by all people for his
business acumen. He built a flour
ing mill at Davis and also built one
at Franks. He served as postmaster
at Stonewali and also at Franks. He
was the owner of what is known as
Byrds mill at Franks. This is
great waterpower plant. While Mr.
Byrd had taken an active interest in .
the political affairs of his people, he
also amassed a large fortune, con-
sisting Of mills land. cattle, and mer-
chandise.
The remains will be buried tomor- /
row at Ada. BY the side of his .
brother, former Governor W. L. Byrd.

OR CITY DADS WILL HAVE LARGE
GANG ON THE STREETS - A
CRUSADE AGAINST VAGS Be
GAN SATURDAY.

Hanging around a pool nall, with
out visible means Of support, is going
to be pretty expensive to a number
Of youths of this city who have been
so steady at this job for several years,
that it has become habit, if the
plans Of the mayor and the chief of
police do not 20 awry and they
probably will not.
In the city hall this morning, the
mayor stated that there was altogeth-
er too much thievery going on about
this city, and that he is going to see
what can be done to put a stop to IT,
The mayor stated that he was not
inclined to lay all the blame on the
habitues of the pool halls, but mas
much as many of them had been mix
ed up in transactions more or less
shady in the past, thought it a good
idea to make them go to work or
put them on the city streets
Chief Hutchins also had few
remarks to make on the subject
He stated that the old stalls about
being walters, who had just quit the
night before, and all the old stock
excuses, were going to be disregarded
in the future, and as far as he was
concerned he was going to put them |
up where he could watch their actions |
after a days work on the streets, |
unless they took the hint and left I
the CITY or went TO work at some ,
legitimate occupation. The chief I
stated that some pool halls in the .
city were conducted with an eye 10 4
)beying the law in every respect,
while for others he had nothing to
say. The latter are the ones who
ire going to be up against it ia the
'uture. unless the chief and the
mayor change their minds.

KRESS BEGINS
BUILDING IN
JAN. FIRST
HAS NOTIFIED ALL TENANTS
THAT PREMISES MUST BE VA
GATED BY THAT TIME - BIG
NEW BUILDING PLANNED.

The Kress company, which owns
some desirable West Main street
property, has notified all the present
tenants that the premises must be
vacated by the first day of January,
as they contemplate rebuilding the
stores preparatory to installing one
of the largest five and ten cent stores
in this section of the state.
The Kress people have owned this
property for several years, but have
been renting it, not caring to estab-
lish a store of that kind here until
the present time. The future of the
oil fields and of the city looks good
TO them, and they have decided that
now is a good time to open up a
business of that magnitude in the
city.

agents Of the Santa Fe, at work in
this city had disposed of 1923 claims
claims of the total number filed, and
they are hopeful that all will be
settled and disposed of by the first
day of December. The Pennington
claim has been disposed of, and the
committee and railway officials are
considering the claim of Captain Whit
tington today, and while no direct in
formation has been given out, in all
probability the claim will be settled
today. This is the largest claim the
agents have to consider.
The clerk in charge of the filing
stated this morning that but six were
registered Saturday for small amounts
and the filing has practically closed.
Perhaps never in the history OF the
Santa Fe system have claims of
this number and magnitude been
settled as rapidly as the Ardmore
claims have been disposed Of. and
Claim Agent Douglas and his able

London, Nov. 22.-No official
intimation has been received
here that Greece has given sat
isfactory assurances to the al
lied powers of hel intentions,
and the commercial blockade
of that country continues.
Saloniki dispatches say that
it is rumored there that the al
lies have decided to carry the
blockade to the extent of estab-
fishing a war zone around
Greece, cutting off all supplies.
An Athens dispatch says it is
confirmed that the entente
powers have already imposed
restrictions on Greek trade.
The allied fleets have already
begun searching all steamers
flying the Greek flag in the
Aegean and Mediterranean.
The newspapers refer especial
ly to grain ships now on their
way to Greece and declare that
in few days lack of bread
for non-combatants will result,
if such ships are being held up.
Z The Berlin newspapers de
scribe the blockade as an act Of
violence against a small neutral
country which intends to main
tain its neutrality without en-
gaging in intrigues.
A Turkish transport is re-
ported to have struck a mine
and sunk in the sea of Marmo-
ia, with a loss of more than
five hundred troops.
4 Rome announces that the
Italians have made substantial
gains on the heights of Gorilla
the Isonzo front, and on the
Carso plateau, where the Aus
trians are being dislodged.
A Serbian victory at Lesko-
