Muskogee, Oklahoma.-While a moi
of several hundred men surrounded
the county Jail here Sunday night
threatening to lynch two negroes &C
cused of Staying a patrolman, 200
armed negroes kept silent guard in the
underbrush of vacant lot across the
street, with the announced intention
of opening fire to rescue the accused

al guard, which was called out when
the mob assumed serious proportions,
and which repulsed two assaults on
the Jail, waited with fixed bayonets
and rifles loaded with ball cartridges
for another attack.
One of the repulsed attacks resulted
in the battering down of the Jail door,
but the men in the forefront of the
mob, carrying a piece Of railroad rail
as battering ram, were driven back
before they could get inside.
To add to the complicated situation,
1t was rumored that posse of Che
rOkee indians had organized at Table
quah and started for Muskogee, 25
miles away, determined to avenge the
Staying Of their fellow tribesman, Sam
Neal, the patrolman whom the two ne
groes, VIM. Green and Mathis Fore
man, are accused Of killing while re-
sisting arrest.
While the mob still waited before
the Jail near midnight, the two ne
groes were dressed in the uniforms of
militiamen and hurried out a rear
door. Under heavy guard, they were
taken safely around the mob to the
outskirts of the city, where automo-
biIes were waiting to carry them to
another city, presumably Tulsa.
Later. when it was announced to
he mob that Green, the negro accused
If killing Neal, had been taken away,
he mob dispersed quietly.

THE FORD PARTY
IS GIVEN WELCOME
HEADQUARTERS OF PERMA-
NENT PEACE COMMISSION.
It Is Announced That Permanent
Board viii be Backed by Mr.. Ford
to the Extent of Two Million
Dollars if Necessary.

Observation-Disclosures over what
they described as their sympathetic
reception in Sweden, the members OF
the Henry Ford peace party on Mon
day considered the possibility of re-
turning to Stockholm, instead of re-
manning at The Hague, when a perma-
nent peace commission is formed.
Many prominent citizens of Stock
holm. including the mayor, have visit
ed the executive committee and tend
cred an unofficial invitation to the
expedition to make Stockholm the
center of such peace negotiations as
may arise. The Ford delegates an
nounced on Monday that the plan had
been considered favorably, but they
would withhold final decision on it.
The entire expedition, however, will
go to Copenhagen and The Hague,
as already has been planned AT The
Hague three or more delegates from
each country will be selected, and
this board, constituting Mr. Ford's
idea of permanent arbitration board,
will sit indefinitely either at The
Hague or in Stockholm
Mr.. Ford on Monday sent wire
less dispatch from the steamer On
which he is bound for New York. He
said he was improving in health and
wished success for the expedition.
The permanent board, the dispatch
added, would be backed by Mr.. Ford
to the extent of $2,0OO,O0O if neces-

GERMANS TO CROSS
THE GREEK BORDER
HOLIDAY LULL IN WORLD WAR
LIKELY FIRST TO BE BROKEN
ON THE BALKAN FRONT.
Guarantees Demanded of Central
Powers by Greek Government
Germans Assure Ssrbians They
viii Respect Nationality.

London Dispatches from the CONT
nent predict that the holiday lull will
first be broken on the Balkan front
where Greek observers believe the
central powers are preparing huge
army for operations directed against
the entente
Whether this will take the form OF
an actual attack on Saloniki, or
merely an advance into Greece for
the purpose of Selling strategic de-
fensive positions is a matter of keen
speculation in Athens.
According to one correspondent, the
Greek government has definitely de-
cided not to permit the enemies OF the
entente to penetrate Greek territory,
unless the central powers satisfactor-
lily guarantee that Greek territory will
not be endangered.
According to dispatches from Ser
Dian source, the Germans have estab-
lished a provisional government at
Nish, withdrawing all the Bulgarian
and Austrian troops and ending Bull
garian-Austrian interference in the adj
ministration of Serbian affairs. 1t is
added that proclamations have been
Issued, announcing that the Germans
will respect Serbian nationality.
One of the most interesting of the
reports came through Athens to the
effect that on Friday German artillery
on Lake Dorian, about forty miles
northwest of Saliniki, was Smelling
the Anglo-French lines in Greek
Macedonia, which the allies are con
tinuing to fortify. This might easily
mean that the looked for advance by
the forces of the central powers
against the allied base at Saloniki was
about to begin.
The Montenegro official communi-
cation states that the Austrians are
intrenching on a front between Mon
tenegro and Serbia, which British OBJ
servers take to mean a pause in the
active Austrian campaign against the |
little mountain country, presumably to
enable the Austrian forces to be /
turned to more pressing matters on
other fronts.
Paris reported the Christmas eve
operations along the western front as
not being important enough to record.
The German account mentioned only
mining operations, in which the Ger
mas blew up works which were under
in front of their lines.
In the Dardanelles the Turkish guns
have been busy and according to Con
stantinople, have done considerable
execution recently against the allies
and lines Of communication.
IN Persia, the Russians are declared
to have severely damaged the Persian
in a battle twenty-five
miles from Teheran. Along the Rus J.,
sian front itself the fighting, accord
ng to Berlin, has been limited to pa
,rol engagements.

SPEND BURROUGHS AT HOME.
Thousands of Men from Trenches
Celebrate Christmas at Home.

London.-The people of London
spent Christmas in depressing at
mosphere of fog aud rain. The city
was filled with soldiers, many thou
sands of mud-stained veterans from
the trenches having received a short
holiday leave.
The last of these men on furlough
arrived at the London terminal as
late as midday, having been delayed
by rough passage across the chan
mel, which left many of them still
pale and miserable when they reached
London.
The great charitable institutions
celebrated the day with tremendous
energy. There was ample provision
for lonesome soldiers, both home and
colonial, for the wounded, for prison
ers and interned aliens, and for the
wives and families of the men at the
front

Prevents Acid StOmachs
and Food Fermentation

Most people who complain Of stom-
ach trouble possess stomachs that are
absolutely healthy and normal The
real trouble, that which causes all the
pain and difficulty, is excessive acid
In the stomach. aggravated by food
fermentation. Hyperacidity irritates
the delicate lining of the stomach and
food fermentation causes wind which
distends the stomach abnormally,
causing that full bloated feeling. Thus
both acid and fermentation interfere
with and retard the process of in
digestion. The stomach is irritated
almost past endurance by these for
eign elements-acid and wind
In all such cases-and they COM
prise over 80 per cent. of all stomach
difficulties-the first and only step
necessary is to neutralize the acid and
stop the fermentation by taking in
little water Immediately after eating
from one to two teaspoonfuls of BIZ
surated Magnesia, which Is doubtless
the best and only really effective ant
acid and food corrective known. The
acid will be neutralized and the fer
mentation stopped almost instantly
and your stomach will at once proceed
to digest the food in healthy normal
manner. Be sure to ask your druggist
for Bisurated Magnesia as other forms
are utterly lacking in its peculiarly
valuable properties.-adv.
