Sweden cannot submit. and demands

.BRIST0W BUSINESS
MEN WANT HIGHWAY
Coin Harvey, President of
Ozark Trail Association,
Scares Them.

BRISTOW, Okla, Sept. 2S-The
business men Of Bristow have had a
scare throwed into them this week
when President ". II. Harvey of the
Ozark Trail association served notice
10 the people on the west side OF
Creek county that II the trail was not
put In first-class shape at once that
It would be changed to some other
line. The road between Kellyville and
Depew. so It is said. is the worst In
the state.
County Commissioner Avery Of
Tulsa county was in BriStow this
week or his way home from Okla
homa City. and said that he had seen
lots O. bad roads, bUt the trail between
ke,,yy.lle and Depew was the worst
IN the state. he believed. He said that
he also understood that Creek county
was figuring or paving something like
1000 mile for the building of this
road and he was willing 10 wager that
he could put the road in frst-olass
cor 6.tion-out OF dirt-for $500 d
mile.
Hold Big Meeting,
The Commercial club has issued a
call for a meeting tonight and there
will be an effort made 10 get the
county commissioners TO make good
their promise TO help 20 build this
road 4 year ago the commissioners
said they would see that the road was
built and made as good as any in the
state. Now Il is claimed that they are
all building roads near their own
places. one q the commissioners
lives near Shamrock one near Mann
ford and the other one in Sspulps.
The roads are all in first-Class shape
near those places and men are az
work on the roads at the place named
every day. Bristow, on account OF be-
ing an aspirant for the county seat at
one time has engendered the hatred Of
Sapulpa and any part = the county
can get faVors while Bristow always

There will come a time when Creek

Of the west side of the county IS now
amply sufficient TO ask a separate

time comes Bristow viii lie ready for
the change. Perhaps il will not lie

have a chance TO pay some OF the fav-
Ors back that Sapulpa has extended 20

MILITARY WORK IN SCHOOLS

DR.. Willard S. Small, principal Of
Eastern High School, gave a COM
mon sense outline Of the benefits OF
high school cadet training before the
National Education Association, in
New York. DR.. Small said:
The purpose Is to capitalize the
fundamental and ineradlcable fight
ing instinct make of II a productive
educational investment, and compel
IL to yield dividends In physical and
moral discipline.
Especially timely is his warning
against making a high school mill
tary program an imitation Of adult
military training. A step in the
right direction was taken in Wash
ington during the past year by Lieut..
E. 2. Steever, working with the high
school officials, and many forms of
competitive games were introduced
into the cadet work. In the opinion
Of DR.. Small, military drill, per Sc,
has no developmental value" But
military training, in its broad sense,
has the highest value for high school
boys. 1t is time for parents to be
resolving that their sons shall belong
to the cadets next year.

POOR SERVICE TO SUFFRAGE

Well-wishers of the suffrage cause
will deplore the poor taste Of those
who sent woman to the dedicatory
exercises Of the new labor federation
temple to interrupt President Wilson
as he talked. A similar incident oc-
Cured at the White House the day
before when woman who went with
a delegation on another mission be-
ran a suffrage harangue.
A statement from one Of the lead
ers Of the movement here indicates
that these performances are q part
Of a propaganda program. It is to
be hoped this Is not true. It is not
surprising that the professional suf-
fragists should get a distorted view
point. To them suffrage assumes q
place in political affairs that distorts
and excludes everything else.
Suffragists are only delaying their
cause by such tactics. "Votes for
women" no longer needs bizarre ad-
vertising. What is needed Is a Wig
orous, constant, intelligent campaign
Of education. Anything at this stage
which tends to cheaper the cause

lions, had become practically impos-
sible. Yet something like secrecy
seems to have been effected in the
long preparation for the present
movement.
How it was all done will be one Of
the most interesting things about
this war that we may be privileged
to learn after the wars end. It is
one Of very great number Of things
that will not be needlessly divulged
before that time. The whole art Of
war has been made over in the last
two years Of unprecedented conflict,
and yet perhaps when the whole
story can be told. It will be found
that the revolution has not been SO
great as was supposed during the
first months Of wonderment after It
became plain that fortresses were
useless. and that the trench must be
substituted for the citadel.

A BATTLE THAT IS WON

The newspapers today almost omit
mention Of the Battle Of the Fourth
of July, that nationwide engage
ment in which, few years ago, the
casualties used to be calculated by
comparison with Gettysburg and An
tietam, commonly to the disparage-
ment Of the latter brushes. The Bat
tie of the Fourth of July didn't take
place this year. There were some
occasional and casual clashes be-
tween the fireworks and the small
boy; there will be a few cases Of
tetanus, a few demands for artificial
legs; but broadly, the greatest en-
gagement of the patriotic year didn't
take place.
Indications are that the casualty
list for yesterday will, when COM
piled, show a less disaster than ever
before since safety and sanity be-
came the lone stars to guide the
celebration Of the day. On the other
hand there was an outburst of real
patriotism; Of serious thought; of
sincere attention to the orators Of
the day; Of genuine consideration for
the inspirations Of the occasion. APP
parently the old-style celebration of
the day with confagrations and ex-
plosions has passed, never to re-
turn. We shall be quite as patriotic,
and a good deal less indebted to the
doctors and insurance companies.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1916-07-05

be assured. The allies do intend to
force q military issue in the war II
they can muster the power to do It.
Such an issue can only be brought
by long and bitterly contested cam
paign. It would seem hopeless for
them to cross the Rhine, though it
is quite possible that they may COM
pei the Germans to retire behind it.
II, however, they can summon the
strength and have the staying quail
ity to accomplish that much, they
will in the process break down the
German military power, and leave it
possible to finish the operation from
other fronts. To drive Germany back
to the Rhine would be a tremendous
military feat. Germany would be de-
cisively beaten by the time she had
retired that far; but her territory
would still have seen little Of war.
The actual invasion of German soil,
by which the war map would be
made to take on a different aspect,
would doubtless have to be accom-
plished from other directions.
Going back over the two years Of
war, calculating how very little ter
ritorial gains have been secured
through the most tremendous opera
lions, and considering the apparent
capacity Of both sides to withstand
the economic strain indefinitely, 1t
must be realized that the great Of
fensive of the allies is by no means
assurance Of an early finish. II it
took two years to swing the initia-
tive from the German to the allied
side, It is altogether likely to take
two years more for a real defeat to
be inflicted on the Central powers.

A MILLION SHELLS A DAY

The statement that the great bonn,
bardment Of that section of the
Franco Belgian lines where the re.
cent advance Of the allies has beer
made, used a million shells a day
does not tell quite all that imagina.
ton requires to grasp fully the sig.
nificance Of such an operation.
The other day a statement was is.
sued, regarding a contract that q
great American concern is executing
to provide shells for the allies. II
was said that 100000 shells were
being provided, at a cost Of $65, 0OO,.
900. In other words, in a five days
bombardment at a million shells q
day, that one invoice Of shells was
blown into the German trenches, a,
a cost for the shells alone of $65, OO0,.
900; or $13,000,000 a day. This ID
aside from the cost of the hundreds
of guns used to hurl the projectiles.
What is meant by a war Of the
worlds machine shops against the
machine shops of Germany, can be
understood in the light Of such fig.
ures. Americas contribution OF
shells has been and will continue
comparatively unimportant. The al.
lies are buying a very large proper.

HOW THE TRICK WAS DONE

Preliminary to the great assault
on the Somme, the British and
French brought up vast forces back
of the lines, at night; disposed them
exactly where they were wanted, and
kept them concealed. Military rail-
roads, wonderful net of them, were
constructed; hospitals were built,
and stations near the lines estab-
lished. Artillery was brought up
and emplaced. Trainload after train
load of ammunition was hauled to
selected points and buried.
All this was done so skillfully that
the enemy was deceived to the last
minute, according to all accounts, as
to the precise section Of the line
on which the big drive was to be
conferred. 1t was, in short, the
achievement of the very thing that
a year ago was supposed to be i'm
possible under modern military con-
ditions. The aeroplane corps of both
armies have gained steadily in
strength from the beginning of the
contest; their skill in doing their
particular work has, of course, in
creased, because this is the first war
in which they have had opportunity
to serve; they have had to learn their
business.
1t was supposed, then, that any
thing like secrecy in great concentra-
tons, notifications and prepare

WILL IT SHORTEN THE WARP

London, judging by the attitude Of
the Lloyds insurance gamblers, does
not regard the allies offensive as
greatly increasing the prospect for
an early end Of the war. The COM
ment of the London press indicates
the same feeling in that quarter.
Quite as probably, the great Of
fensive, If such we have seen in
augurated, will serve to prolong the
contest. Early peace would have
been made as a result of negotia-
tions. It would have required to be
based on recognition Of German &C.
cupation of a good deal of enemy
territory, and dickering for the best
terms to get that territory evacuated.
II the allies had been sufficiently
discouraged about their prospect OF
great military success, they might
have been tempted to undertake such
negotiations. But they will not be
SO tempted, now, at least for long
period. From the beginning their
spokesman have insisted that there
could be only one peace: peace with
a defeated and broken Prussia. AT
times that kind of ultimatum sound
ed ridiculous; but it evidently meant
Just what 1t said.
More and more, despite the pres
ent advantages that both the eastern
and western fronts are yielding to
the allies. it becomes apparent that
the internal situation in Germany
will be great factor in determining
when the war shall end. The food
situation in Germany grows more
serious. The blockade is tighter than
ever before. From Russia came the
other day the story that a score
or more Of sailing ships in the Bal
tic had been sunk in single day
They all represented the possibility
of Germany drawing much-needed
supplies from the Scandinavian
countries.
