The Russian
Reverses.

The Russian reverses have be. n
very serious of late. The Teut-
ons have retaken Peremysl and
Lembrry; and have almost clear
ed Galicia of the invaders. The
Russian offensive for the time
being failed, and crumpled up on
the German dive.
The Russians claim that
shortage of ammunition due to
Chinese and Japanese diplomatic
difficulties is the reason for the
failure.
The Russian army however is
backed by enormous resources.
Russia is like the United States
unlimited in men aud food, Her
one dra wback has been munitions
and she has depended on the
japanese for these. At the time
OF the trouble with China, Japan
retained all of her supplies in case
OF eventualities, but now is ship
ping again to Russia. but the
long overland journey through
Asia and across Europe has pre-.
vented these supplies reaching
the troops of the Gar. Undoubt-
edly however. before long, the
hordes from the Urals and from
Siberia will reinforce the now
broken army. and again will the
Russians invade the Austrian
Empire. Millions of men are
awaiting the summons to war in
thousands OF towns and villages
i'll Russia.

The Remedy.

Cultivation must take the place
of irrigation this season. Water
is very scarce, and scientific agric.
ulture must as far as possible
take its place. In reality, accord
ing to experts. there is not as
great a need for water for the
successful growing OF crops as is
usually believed. A dust mulch
will prevent evaporation. Cul.
tivation is the secret of success.
The soil is really injured by exces.
i've moisture. The History of
those nations which. indulged in
promiscuous and unscientific ir.
rigation shows that some of the
choicest land on the face of the
earth has been rendered a desol
ate waste, because of the mineral
salts brought to the surface; and
consequently the soil would no
longer produce crops. On the
contrary those dry and semi-arid
regions which from the dawn of
history have been cultivated with
but little water. are as fertile to.
day AS centuries ago AS before
said, cultivation is the secret of
successful farming.

morning the houses of George w. Pow

were struck by lightning.
In both instances the chimney was

At Mr.. Powers residence the shock
was greatest and SCOT was blown over

around the chimney caught fire, but
with the help of neighbors it was ex-

done. Mrs. Power, who was in anoth-

it caught on fire but the hard rain had

Preliminary Draft Of Reply to Note
Expresses Appreciation Of U. S.
Friendship; Accepts
Mediation
U.S.. CONTROVERTS
BRITISH DENIAL
Will Not Accept that Contention in
Latest Note that American
Trade is Not Being
Injured
BY United Press.

By United Press.
Berlin, June 24.-The preliminary
reply of the German government to
the last American note has been prac
tically completed, it is reported.
1t is understood that Germany in the
note expresses appreciation of the
friendship of the United States and
states that she does not desire to en-
danger the interests of the neutrals.
1t is further understood that the re-
ply accepts President Wilson's offer
of mediation concerning the modifica-
tion of the British blockade and the
German submarine policy.
The reply indicates that Germany
was misinformed in regard to the Lus-
itania being armed and conveys will
ingness to negotiate with the United
States relative to the principles of hui
manity mentioned in the American
note, but Germany is not willing to
abandon her submarine operations en-
tirely.
1t is pointed out by the Berlin gov
ernment that If any compromise is
made, Germany must be assured of
safety for her submarines from attack
while visiting and searching vessels.

The removal of the frame struc-

Chickasha and Choctaw avenues, was
left up to the building committee OF
the council. These buildings have

power to order their removal or de-

White Judgment Settled.
The White judgment that has been

court costs, the judgment, originally
$4,000, now amounts to $5S45.40.

SAVE THAW

ny Uulteu fTcsS.
New York, June 25.-Today is the
anniversary of Thaw's killing of Stan
ford White. Many lawyers say that
the present fight is the best chance Of
freeing Thaw.
The deputy attorney general says
that Stanford Whites name will be
clean before the trial is over He will
try to prove that White was not such
beast as Evelyn Thaw painted him.
He intends to bare her life. The state
intends to use Thaw's brother for much
of the proof.
The deputy attorney says that Eve.
lyn Thaw was not the innocent girl
she said she was and that Thaw knew
she wasn't when she met white.
1t will be claimed that parahoita was
the only cause for Thaw's killing
White and that he is still victim OF
the affliction.
Thaw's movements in Canada will
be shown by movies introduced by
Thaw.

READY FOR
GOLF GO
Thirty Men to Face Barrier Thurs.
day Morning in First Tourney
Of Club; Preparing Greens
for Match

Thirty entries are expected to face
the barrier next Thursday at the
Chickasha Country club for the first
golf tourney to be staged on the local
links and all arrangements were COM
pleted last night in big pow-wow at
which most OF the players were pres
ent.
All entries must be in the hands of
the committee before 6 o'clock We'd
nesday evening. June 30, and each en-
try must be accompanied by a four
bit entrance fee. The trophy will be
a loving cup, the same to remain the
property OF the club until won three
times by an individual. This applies
to class A. Also a prize, not yet de-
cided upon, will be offered for class B.
The qualifying round win start
Thursday morning, when all entries
face the starter for the nine hole
course, strokes to count. The eight
men making the lowest scores will be
started In the semi-finals, as the class
A entries. The eight making the next
highest scores will compose class b in
the finals and semi-finals of that di-
vision.
That the tourney will not be stretch
ed out unnecessarily over several days
was the determination reached at the
meeting last night Play in the semi
finals and finals will commence as
soon as possible after the qualifying
matches. In the semi-finals and
finals of both classes, hole
matches will beplayed That is,
instead of counting the strokes for the
full nine hole course. the players will
pair off by drawing and play, the best
scores from hole to hole to count. Thus
If one player bests his opponent on the
first hole, then in negotiating the trip
to the next hole, he becomes the vic
tim OF bad luck and loses dozen or so
strokes ina ditch. while his opponent
makes itin few well placed drives,
they still so into the play for the next
hole on an even footing, eaching hav-
ing won one hole.
Every effort will be made to com
plete the tourney on Friday that the
players may be free to help celebrate"
and otherwise take in" the ball
games and aeroplane flights on Satur-
day, but II this is not possible. the final
rounds will be played Saturday morn
ing. 4
Much interest is being manifested in
the tourney by the golfers. Harry Lud-
low was appointed as boss of the links
and under his supervision the greens
will be placed in condition for the
tournament, work to start In this con
nection tomorrow.
The feature that makes the meet es.
pecially interesting to the local men,
is that it Is to be strictly club match
and that all the entries are considered
green" players, all having had prac-
tically the same golf experience.

Work in the Trenches.
Surgeon F. E. Mccullough of the
United States navy described the sur
gerry of modern naval warfare. Trac-
ing the development of naval warfare
from the earliest times, he showed
that proper care of those injured in
modern naval warfare could only be
secured by making careful prepara-
tons during times Of peace, by antici-
pating every emergency before battle
and by caring for the wounded during
and after naval battles. Maj. A. W.
Williams of the medical corps of the
United States army, in a paper on sur
gerry on the battlefield, emphasized the
difficulties encountered in caring for
the wounded in the present European
war on account of the amount of
trench fighting going on.
Owing to the massing of large bod
les of men, in trenches. and the lack
of bathing facilities and clean clothing
many severe cases of infection have
developed among the wounded In
Belgium, especially, where the
trenches have been dug in soil that
has for generations been heavily ma
nured for market gardening, the per
centage of infection is very high, In
comparison with other wars, there is
also a much higher proportion of shell
and shrapnel wounds, due to the in
creased use of artillery.
New Type of Wound.
A new type of wound is that pro
duced by the darts dropped from aero
planes in punches of 500 or more,
which fall on the enemy like hail, pro
ducing wounds like bullets. Maj. Will
liams stated that his experience as a
field surgeon showed that by the use
of iodin, the skin could be quickly ster-
ilized and surgical work done in the
field as safely as in the elaborate op
Grating rooms in city hospitals.
