ed British Adjutant General.

London. March lS.-Sir c. f. NJ. Mac.
ready who has Just been appointed adj
infant general of the British army with
a seat on the war council, is descend
ant of the famous actor Macreddy. In
appearance he is soldierly, with one ear
severely mutilated from a wound His
brown moustaehe is Just beginning TO
turn grey. In manner he is bluff but
sincere He has the carriage of the
Scotch soldier, and it was in the Gordon
Highlanders that he obtained his regi-

General Macready has been brought
back from the front to be pillar in the
scheme of drastic reorganization of Brit

war as the soldier to whom was entrust

OKLAHOMA
FOR HUGHES
But Colonel Roosevelt Is a
Strong Second
Choice
NO ENTHUSIASM
FOR THE OTHERS
Democrats Are for Wilson,
First, Last, and All
the Time

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 49,
There is no question as TO the choice OF
Oklahoma Democrats for the presidency
Nor is there doubt for whom the Okla.
homa delegation TO the st. Louis conven'
ton win east it's vote, but the situation
in the Republican ranks is of interest in
so far as II may affect the naming OF
the Republican standard bearer.
The first choice of Oklahoma Republi-
cans is undoubtedly Charles Il. Hughes.
Senator Burton of Ohio, however, has
many friends in Oklahoma and the Re.
publicans of the state are not psrticu-
larly averse 10 him as the nominee The
senator came to Oklahoma City some
time ago and made an address to the
Commercial club. The address was well
received. The senator made good i'm
preston. Oklahoma people like him.
But they are not particularly enthusiast
tic for his nomination.
II Senator Cummins has any followers
in the state, they are keeping under COW
er very closely. His name is scarcely
ever mentioned in political circles. SEN
ator Weeks is unknown down here.
Toward Roosevelt there is an entirely
different sentiment A lot of 0klaho-
mans are enthusiastic for his nomina
tion on the Republican ticket. And very
many more would welcome his nomina
ton. Conservative Republicans say
that If Hughes cannot be nominated,
Roosevelt is acceptable to 80 per cent OF
Oklahoma Republicans.
But the Republican delegation to the
national convention will be instructed
for neither Hughes nor Roosevelt. 1t
will not be instructed at all The dele
cation will be chosen at a state conven
tion TO be held on March 81, and its in
dividual members, while preferring
Hughes or Roosevelt will nevertheless
vote for any candidate they think can
harmonic the two wings OF the party.
Regardless of politics, Oklahoma peo
pie heartily approve of the presidents
to send an army into Mex
leo. They are also with the president
on his enlarged navy and coast defense
plan, but the idea of large army is not
looked upon with favor in this state

COAL COMPANIES GUILTY.
Solicited, Accepted and Received Rebates,
is the Verdict.

Trenton, n. j., March 1.-THE Iehigh
Coal and Navigation company was con
victed by federal jury here yesterday
of soliciting, accepting and receiving re
bates from the Central Railway com.
pany of New Jersey. The indictment was
on 81 counts, and the navigation COM
pany was convicted on all of them. The
maximum fine possible under the ver-
dict is $4,000, but the jury in returning
its verdict, recommended mercy.
This case marks the second stage of a
prosecution which was begun more than
a year ago as result of the alleged
practice of the Central Railroad company
Of New Jersey in paying to the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company allowances
out of the lawfully published rates on
all shipments of anthracite coal made by
the navigation company from Nesqueson-
ing, Pa, to points in New Jersey.

HEROIC WAR SAYINGS.

Paris, March ls.--The first publishe,
collection of heroic words and actions o
the war on the Franco Belgian remark
of soldiers leaving for the front, in bat
tie and in the trenches, anecdotes o
generals and other officers, the talk o
the wounded and the words of dying he
roes.
Well toward the beginning is the re
PLY of a soldier marching through Paris
to news vendor who offered him the
latest news, saying; Here, my brave
boy, is the latest news"
"News?' replied the soldier. at is
we who are going to make the news
| -Four young artillery men of the con.
tingent of 1913 passed along the avenue
| Trudaine in Paris on the way to the
station. A pretty woman on the arm OF
her husband stopped on the sidewalk
and cried: Poor boys Good luck
to you'll" while a tear rolled down her
cheek. One of the artilerymen saluted,
then took off his cap, twirled it in the
air and cried: Come now, my dear
lady, just little smile please"
Two sergeant majors chosen from a
number of volunteers left the French
trenches near the Vesle for an aban
doned farm where climbing to the gar
ret, they We're able to discover the situ-
alton of German batteries that were
causing considerable losses to the French
troops. The French three-inchers soon
forced the Germans to change their POI
sition to the very spot where these two

The French gunners ceased firing until
this message came over the telephone:

EXPECT MILLION AMERICANS.
To Visit France Just as Soon as War i;
Concluded.

Paris. March lS.--A committee oil
French hotel keepers" that has recently
come into existence estimates that a
million Americans will come to France
Immediately after the war to visit the
sites which have become famous during
the hostilities.
All sorts of suggestions are being put
forward. One is that a broad highway
should be laid down along the front from
Dixmude to Belfort, to be called "The
Holy Road" with plenty of good hotels
at intervals, simply furnished, but each
containing from eight to hundred rooms
and an abundant supply of baths. An
other suggestion is the formation of spe
cial tourist trains running from the chan
mel to Belfort in which the tourists
should live and sleep while they are
sightseeing.
Meantime the committee Of hotel
hotel keepers is busy preparing for tine adj
vent of the visitors by training stats to
replace the German and Austrian man
ayers and walters of the pre-war, renew
ing furniture, repainting and re-papering,
and in particular improving the sanitary
arrangements in the various hotels.
A writer in La Renaissance, Monsieur
Louis Forest treating of subject now
occupying a good deal of attention,
thinks France ought to devote her eff
forts to attracting tourists instead of or
ganizing with a view of increasing her
export trade. why he asks, ''send our
products to the foreigner when we can
bring the foreigner to our products Let
MS then export inland let us attract
the foreigner and put him in the way of
seeking and testing our native wares"
This writer, by the way, warns his
fellow countrymen that neutral specu-
lators are already buying up French ho-
tells in large numbers and theatres to
rob France of valuable asset after the
war
The renovation of the French hotel
system in view of post-bellum tourist
traffic, will require the employment of
great deal of capital. This,~says mon
sieur Forest, must be supplied by Amer
lea, which has such large financial inter
ests in France that she is substantially
concerned in French prosperity.
Since the war began the sanitary au
thorities have reqrtisitioned throughout
France nearly five hundred hotels, large
and small. while three-quarters of the
beds existing in French hotels to-day /
are at the disposal of the minister of |
war.
