Colby in Charge oflLarge Territory in
State in Taking Census for Industrial
Preparedness; Work Starts
at Once

L. E. Colby, county highway engi-
neer, is in receipt of a letter of in
structions from Harold v. Bozell, Of
Norman, chairman of the board of di
rectors for the state of Oklahoma of
the Organization for Industrial Pre-
paredness.
The letter advises Mr. Colby that
the work of entering the field and be-
ginning the actual making of COM
plete inventories of all manufactur-
ing concerns, in the interest of the
naval consulting board in the matter
Of industrial preparedness, will now
begin
Mr.. Colby will have charge of a
large portion of this work, embraced
by all that territory in the southwest
section of the state and bounded on
the east by the Rock Island railway.
This work is being done in order
that the army and the navy depart
ments may be advised of the equip
ment of every manufacturing estab
lishment of every kind in the United
States. The object is that, should it
become necessary, the different man
ufacturers of the country could be
called upon to turn their plants into
factories for making munitions of
war
In this connection President Will
son has addressed a letter to every
business man in the United States in
which he hespeaks their cordial CO
operation in the patriotic service uu-
dertaken by the engineers and chem
lists of the country. under the direc-
ton Of the industrial preparedness
committee of the naval consulting
board of the United States'
The inventory to be returned to
the board, through the engineers will
be considered strictly confidential by
the government and will be used ex-
clusively for the benefit of the war
and navy departments in the organi-
cation Of all Industrial resources for
the public service in national defense.
The American Society of Civil En-
gineers, the American Institute of
Mining Engineers, the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers, the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers and the American Chemical
Society are all gratuitously assisting
the naval consulting board in the
matter.
The idea leading to the securing of
the data originated with Lloyd

land. 1t is stated that when Lloyd
George became minister the supply
of available munitions was so low
that English gunners were being linz
tied to three and four rounds of am
munition per day.
No sooner was Lloyd George named
minister of munitions than he took
an industrial census;" scarcely was
this census finished before the man
ufacturer was urged to utilize his
equipment for the army and navy.
In commenting upon this action up
on the minister's part the Richmond
News-Leader says: "The results in

of the militia detail before the arrival of Adutant-
General Cole, had thrown his entire company of
40 men about the City Hall by midnight.
The sight of the uniforms and glistening bayo-
nets served to increase rather than quiet the fury
of the mob. They raided coal yard and returned
to the City Hall with their pockets bullying with
humps of coal. These quickly flew through the
air and many of them disappeared inside the
building. Mlitiamen kept busy lodging
them
The crowd constantly announced their inten-
ton of staying the building until Leyden
was released to them. They clamored for his
release. The crowd again started rushing toward
the building when rumor became current that
Leyden was being removed by a window.
They dashed forward, but the militamen met
them with fixed bayonets.
The small company hand was woefully in
sufficient to cope with the. situation Squads of
police with drawn clubs were kept dashing about
from place to place, assisting the militia.

Less than 500 persons remained outside the

hooting at the militiamen. Stones found their

Haverhl April 4.-Everywhere throughout
the surgng mob fights between individuals broke
out few hasty words between two utter strang-
ers would lead in llghtning-like time into heated
argument, a blow would be struck and moment
later the two, unheeded by the crowd about them,
would be rolling on the ground clinched in each
others arms.
In dozens of places among the frenzied mob
this was repeated and the majority needed them
not. The mob wanted Thomas Leyden-wanted
to get him into their hands. All other ideas and
thoughts were submerged into the greater one

thought and acted automatically, leaderless but
efficiently. We'll wait all night for Leyden," be-
came their battle cry and when by a. m. but few
OF the crowd had departed it seemed if they
were more than ready to carry out that statement
Every door and exit from the City Hall was
closely guarded, and it is the intention of the
mob to balk any possible attempt by the police
and militia to smugge the away before
daylight.
Despite the fact that a committee was shown
through the jail and shown that Leyden is not
sheltered there, it has become general knowledge
that he is securely locked into the aldermanic
chamber and is being closely guarded.

Who is in Command?

The recent mobilization Of the militia
has brought out some rather peculiar
things in regard 10 the appointment and
promotion Of officers.
One Of these appears in a press dis
patch sent out from Washington under
date Of June %. IL says: "Recom.
mendations for promotion Of officers Of
the National Guayd have been filed at
the War Department. The list was pre-.
pared by Major General O'RgdH and
forwarded to Senator O'GOrmoa, rho
approrod u and add)d his orR recon-.
menddiioH and fled Il Uith the secretary
Of udr."
Il would seem from this that the
O'Ryans and 0'Gormons have a lot 10
do with the military affairs Of this
country; and it is not unlikely since
o'Gorman is the papist senator from the
state Of New York.
But the appointment Of one Priest
Nigliero TO he a chaplain in the Louisiana
militia, not by election or BY officials Of
Louisiana, but by thc Roman Cdiho' c
archbishop J. II. Bleak, Is eren more
noticeable.
From an account Of the appointment
in tho New Orleans Daily States OF
July l, and letter from the archbishop
printed Herewith and addressed to
headquarters at the state camp near
Alexandria NC quote the following: 81
