During these recent massacres,
whenever any Christian would turn
Mohammedan he was spared Lord
Bryce said MANY Christian child

were sold i'm the market or distribut-

days together the bodies of Christian
women who had thus perishcd were
seen floating down the Euphrates.
surely the remains of this suffer

ASSOCIATED Press summary
Momentarily there is a cessation In
the attacks by the British along the
Ancre and Somme fronts which re-
Gently have given them considerable
ground held by the Germans at Vari-
GUS points. Bombardments alone are
reported in these regions and also
along the line held by the French.
Considerable aerial activity has
taken place between the British and
Germans. London reports that three
German machines We're brought down
and three others forced to descend
damaged, but says four British ma
chimes We're felled by the Germans
and that seven others are missing.
There is little fighting of moment
except the usual artillery duels and
infantry actions by accommodating
parties on the other fronts. The rout
of the Turks toward Bagdad is being
kept up by the British, who have ad-
vanced to within nine miles of Ctesl-
phon, which is 2S miles from Bagdad.
British reports record the Turks as
being demoralized and leaving behind
large quantities of stores and a num-
Der of guns.

The Hatfield murder trial in which
four Tulsa policemen are defendants
may be tried at the criminal term of
district court beginning one week from
next Monday. If it is, Judge w. ].

this week that all criminal cases be-
fore his court he set for the term at

There is one element that may pre-
vent the trial of this case which
aroused public interest to fever heat
less than six weeks ago. 1t is the
matter of time. Judge Campbell is
only assigned to Tulsa for two weeks.
Tho Baber murder case and the grand
jury liquor indictments are scheduled

be ample time to try the four accused
Officers.

previous order or there is objection
raised by other court officials, the
Hatfield case will 70 on the docket for
trial during the last two weeks of this
