French Resisting Attacks.
By United Press.

By United Press.
PARIS, Oct. 26-The French forces
are resisting desperate German coun-
tire attacks to retain possession of la
Courtaine, highly important point in
front of the kaisers second position
in the Champagne region.
While the German and Austro- Hun
garian campaigns in northern and
eastern Serbia are being carried out
according to plan, despite fierce
Serbian resistance. and the Bulgars
who crossed the Timok and hold the
town of Prahovo are separated from
the Germans who crossed the Danube
near Orsova by only few miles in the
south. things are not going so well for
the invaders. In the latter region the
French troops have Joined hands with
the Serbs and according to French ac-
counts have inflicted severe defeat
I on the Bulgarians at Krivolak. forty
miles north Of the point where the
Saloniki-Nish railway crosses the
Serbo-Greek frontier
This success places the Bulgarians
who reached Istip. Veles and Uskup
in rather an awkward position for a
further advance of the allied army
would seriously threaten their flank.
In fact unofficial reports state that the
advance OF the French, who are being
closely followed by the British, has
already caused the retirement of the
Bulgars toward Strumnitsa.
The first desire of the Germans.
however, is to open a route through
northeastern Serbia and Bulgaria. to
Turkey, and this is on the eve of being
accomplished.
On the other hand, military writer's
here do not believe that the position
of Serbia is so desperate as has been
painted. 1t is serious, of course, but
they point out that the Serbians have
many natural defensive positions in
the mountains in which they can hold
out for weeks: that with the British
French and other members of the
cuadruple powers carrying out their
determination to help Serbia by rush
ing reinforcements to Saloniki and
other points, the Bulgars win have al
extremely warm reception. and that
the Germans and Turks being fully
occupied elsewhere will not be able
to send them much help.

CITY HALL
GRAND and
GORGEOUS
"Soms" Flower Show Presented by
Floor Coverings Of Offices;
Rare Collection of Roses
in Mayors Room

OF all the grand sights of word or
pen. the grandest are these-"the city
has carpets again" (Try that on your
cornstalk fiddle)
Nov this may not jingle and sway
and swing with the rhythm of true
poesy, nor possess the proper number
of feet-or yards-nor have the exact
metrical scale, but truth is stranger
than poetry, and this is the truth. If
you do not believe it just breeze
around to the city hall today and drop
in for short chat with the mayor and
a word with Treasurer Clark and
whisper-iust whisper-with Curley
Reynolds, of city clerk fame. And
while you are chatting with the mayor
and passing the time Of day with the
treasurer and whispering of how much
1t cost Curley for the Phillies to drop
the pennant, just give a look" at the
floor coverings of their several offices.
Sayl Talk about your roses. You
never saw roses as compared to the
roses you will see when you drop into
the office of the mayor of the city OF
Chickasha; roses red and roses blue,
roses bright-of every hue. Big roses,
little roses; roses with and without
ihorns, without leaves, without odor,
but roses Just the same.
Now. all these posies and roses are
interwoven into the fiber and made
part of the warp and woof of the mys-
terry and dust-capturing coverings
which now cover the accumulated to-
bacco stains which have decorated
the floors of the offices OF the mayor,
the treasurer and the city clerk since
the city hall was in the swaddling
clothes of infancy.
On the mayors office floor, to take
the matter up in detail, will be found
a rug, or carpet, if you like that homely
and old-fashioned name better, of all
the gorgeous hues Of the most en-
trancing rainbow that ever gladdened
the roseate heavens at eventide. That
rug is something doing every min
ute of the time. 1t is absolutely so
noisy that the night watchman at the
city hall has to go home to sleep. 1t
has woven into and made a part Of 1t
enough roses and lilies of the valley
and blue bellies and violets and dog
wood blossoms and cape jassamines
and dog fennel blooms and snowballs
and peonies and Niger heads and
clinging vines and twigs and broken
bows and poison ivy and moss and
brambles, and what not, to stock the
scenery of half the landscape gardens
in the Great Commonwealth Of Okla
homa."
In Treasurer Clark's department the
scenery upon the floor is of more
modest cast of countenance. The
treasurer evidently wanted something
of a neutral color-something that
would not show tobacco ashes. should
such chance to be spilled upon the
floor-covering at some time during the
day while he should be absent from
the office.
In Curley REYNOLDS department

things are Of little more brilliant
hue than those in the department OF
interior. but not nearly so emblematic
of the cattle of Jacob, as they are in
the chief executives department.
Curley feels that his carpet was
made just loud enough to sooth his
feelings and just dull enough p har-
monize with those feelings every time
he thinks Of the ten bucks which vwcrt
down in defeat when the Phillies went
to pieces.
On the whole the manner in which
the three offices are now fixed out in
fashionable attire, reflects great credit
to the present city government, so
competent art critics say.
