English Jubilant.

LONDON, July IS 90 p. M
While the adverse weather is compell-
ing a lull in the fighting on the west
ern front military critics are taking
stock of the situation. They are
agreeably surprised by the large cap
lures of heavy armament that Gen.
Douglas Haig. the British COM
mander-in- chief, announced.
The critics point out how the
British attacks have been pressed
with the greatest repidity in order to
give the Germans no time to organize
formidable defenses Also, as was
evidenced by the withdrawal of the
British from the Foureux wood where
they had reached the German third
point. It would have incurred severe
fighting with probably severe losses
and General Haig was in favor of a
more methodical advance.
Evidence received from the front
as well as the official map published
here, seems to prove that the Ger
man second line of defense was far
less strong and elaborate than the
first. Therefore the military observ-
ers believe that the obstacles are likely
To be less difficult as the entente allies
advance.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1916-07-19

with regard to the eastern front
General Won Linsingen's retirement
across the Lipa is considered by the
critics as removing the last serious
obstacle TO the advance Of the Rus
slams toward Lemberg.
There was little fresh news from
either front today. General Haig was
able to report substantial progress
north of Ovillers while the Germans
utilized the lull in making an attempt
to regain lost ground at Biaches and
La Maisonnette. Fighting in this
region continues.
Reports from Rome say that the
retirement of the Teutonic allies on
the Lipa has cause panic in Galicia
where towns are being evacuated.

ASQU|TH STEPS OUT
After Eight Years Service, Asquith
Resigns Premiership and King
George Immediately Summoned Bo
mar Law to Palace.

! London, Dec. 6.---The Westminster
Gazette says that Andrew Bonar Law
the unionist leader, has declined the
kings invitation to form a cabinet
and that presumably Lloyd George
will be called on.
The Exchange Telegraph company
says it is authority for the statement
that Law has declined the offer to
form the new government.
King George today sent for Lloyd
George. Whether Lloyd-George, whose
action led to the disruption of the
coalition government and resignation
of Asquith as premier, would have any
greater success in forming the min
istry than Bonar Law is a question
unanswered. Political correspondents
predict that Asquith will be back at
the head of the government in few
days.
The resignation OF Asquith as pre-
mier, which place he had held for
eight years of stormy domestic and
foreign history, was considered So
luton of the government crisis. King
George Immediately thereafter sum
moned Bonar Law, but his declining
the kings invitation was generally eX-
pected.

Galveston, Tex. Dec. &c. p. Rip

out the following statement in New
York Tuesday afternoon. Dec. 5:
"In the last two years. especially
since the influence Of the European
war has been fully felt. our railway
system has enjoyed what appears to
be an abnormal prosperity. The
same factors. which have produced
the prosperity. have made substantial
increases in the cost OF living. which
II is hoped will be temporary. In
recognition Of these conditions, our
board of directors today authorized
us to make in a lump sum the dis
tribution OF additional compensation

equal to ten per cent. Of a years
pay to all employees who have been in
the service of the Atichson. Topeka
& Santa Fe system for at least two
years and whose actual compensation
is not paid according to present or
former contract schedules. The pay
ment of the amounts thus authorized
will be made as soon as the neces-
sary computations can be completed.
1t is estimated that the amount thus
to be distributed will be approxi-
mately s2.75O.OoO."
II is President Ripley's intention to
have the distribution made during
the holidays.

BENEVOLENT
SOCIETY AF TER
THE /. {. Of |.
LADIES ANNOUNCE THAT THEY
ARE GOING TO QUIT PURcHAS-
ING CERTAIN ARTICLES UN-
LESS THERE is A REDUCTION

Next Wednesday afternoon the be.
nevolent society will hold a meeting
to lay plans for looking after the
poor and needy of the city. Mrs.
Kahn, president of the society stated
this morning that there was going to
be another thing discussed among the
ladies that is of vital importance to
every householder in the city. and
that is the abnormal prices that the
people are compelled to pay sor some
Of the necessities Of life. Mrs. Kahn
stated that unless there was a ma
terial reduction in the cost OF cert lin
articles that the women would lg-ee
not to purchase them at all. This
movement has been inaugurated in
many cities in the south and west
and It seems to have achieved the
desired result. The local organiLa-
tion are casting hints that some
drastic action may be looked for un-
less there Is a change in prices OF
certain commodities. The idea of
prevailing prices for eggs for instance
is preposterous" said Mrs. Kahn
"and this is but one of the many
actual necessities of life We are GO
ing to see what can be done toward
reducing the prices or the merchants
are going to have lot of surplus
stock on hand which will be newt
able IL the ladies Of the city refuse
to buy"
The benevolent society have sew
eral charges to take care Of this
winter and unless prices are reduced
the contributions will have to be more
than doubled to what they were last
year.
