Fake Telephone Message Tracked

Bribe Beckham County Delegation.

OKLAHOMA CITY Feb 23-The fake telephone call

Lorton to Fred Livingston at Sayre between and 9
o'clock Monday night, in which the offer was made to

telephone records turned to him. The call
placed in the of Jim Harris himself and charged

BRITISH BLOCKADE
TOO LONG DELAYED
Swedish Press and Business Men say
Germany Has Plenty of Sup
plies to Last Two Years

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. Feb. 23.-
The British blockade of Germany has
failed because it came too late, ac-
cording to the Swedish press and
Swedish business men.
AS far as Sweden and the other
Scandinavian countries are concerned
the blockade only became really ef-
fective last April. For eight months
prior to that time, or since the very
start Of the war the Germans, antici-
pating England's tactics. were pur-
chasing enormous quantities of mill
tary supplies, especially copper, anti
mony and tin, through Sweden, Den
mark and Norway. Importers here are
convinced that by the time the block
ade was perfected Germany had
stored up such quantities Of these and
other war materials as to meet all her
needs for possibly two years. The
claims made by the British govern
ment that great quantities Of war ma
terial have been smuggled into Ger
many through Sweden are bitterly re-
sented by Swedish merchants.
An opinion frequently expressed
here Is that as far as the Scandinav-
ian countries are concerned, Eng
land has only succeeded in creating
III feeling among the neutrals by her
blockade without seriously injuring
Germany.

Of conditions under which IL would be

He contcnded that prolongation of

reasonable expectations that through
its continuance the allies should be
in "A position to dictate such terms as
TO secure future European peace. He
agreed that the present military situa- =
ton was not necessarily evidence that
a decisive military victory might not
yet come to the allies. though few men
who took an intelligent and dispas-
sionate view of the situation and the
lessons it had taught would say that
there was any reasonable ground tor
hope of a decisive and crushing mill
tary victory for either contending

However. Kaiscr's Men Are

TROOPS belonging 10 seven Ger
Prince Frederick william are en-
gagged along "a 25-mile front north
of Nerdun in "a desperate effort to
drive back the French defending
forces probably with the capture Of
the great fortress of Nerdun in view
There had been very heavy fight
ing for "A considerable period in this
district of the French war zone. but
within the last few days the attacks
of the Germans have taken on added
strength. The battle line has ex-
tended and now reaches from Malan-
court on the west to Etain on the
east with Nerdun in the center only
Il few miles southwark
The Germans claim to have made
important advances. and to some ex-
tent these are admitted by the French
war office. which describes the bat
tie as one of increasing intensity.
The German preparations were ex-
tensivc and the bombardment of the
French positions with thousands of
shells was uninterrupted. As the
French had foreseen this battle all
their available guns were called into
action and responded In kind to the
heavy shelling of the Germans.
Germans Lose Heavily
While at some points the French
were unable to resist the onslaught
of the attacking forces, along much
of the front. according to the Paris
communication. the attacks were well
sustained and very heavy losses were
inflicted on the Germans.
Another British steamer. the West
burn, has put into port flying the
German flag and with "A prize crew
aboard. This vessel has reached
Santa Cruz. Teneriffe. She has on
board 206 prisoners taken from var
ious British vessels which have been
sunk by German raiders.
In the British parliament, Premier
Asduith in reply to question concern
ing the possibility of peace. reiterated
his former pronouncement that there
would be no peace until conditions
previously set down were met. These
included the restoration of Belgium
and Serbia and the overthrow of
"Prussian militarism."
While President Wilson is declared
to be unalterably opposed to any ac-
tion by congress with respect to warn
ing Americans off armed merchant
men of the belligerent nations of
Europe. agitation in congress in this
direction has grown to marked pro-
portions and Washington advices say
that the Democrats of the foreign af-
fairs committee have voted to canvass
the sentiment of the house on several
pending resolutions bearing on that
question.
