OKLAHOMA CITY, July 2l.-
Needed health movements that will
make for better sanitary and hygienic
rules of living will be the direct re-
suits of the war, in tho opinion OF DR..
J. w. Duke, state health commission
er. He believes that such movements
will be inaugurated on n scale never
before known IN this country.
Health means efficiency. and peo-
pie who have been keyed up to the
pitch of efficiency necessary for far
reaching activities of war will not be
content to lapse back into the old Gus
toms of carelessness."
Exercise. pure food. medical In
spection. clean clothes and personal
cleanliness as far as possible, fresh
air, all these things are insisted upon
In the armies. They would bring the
same healthful results in civil life."

The Greatest War In History

The neutral countries of Europe. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Greece, Spain and Switzerland con tain less than 50.000,00 population. These figures, which are approximate ly correct. show that the world is against Prussian militarism and au- tocracy.
 Not one-seventh of the population of the world is in alliance, or sympa- thy with it. Every liberty loving coun- try and democracy in the world is against Germany. The world knows that Prussian autocracy is opposed to lib- erty, democracy and civilization. Not lin the history of the world have such tremendous. forces been arrayed against each other as in the present war-not even those wars that revolutionized history, or resulted in the conquest of the then known world. Alexander conquered the known world with his 900 Macedonians. Caesar conquered Gaul and Brittany and made himself master of the Roman world, with less than 100000 men.
 When Rome was mistress of the world and carried on wars of conquest or of defense it's population never exceeded 400, 900, ,000. During the great wars of Napoleon, Europe never had over 200,- 900 ,000 population and he never had ,0OO, ,O00 men in his armies at one time. In this gigantic canfiict of democracy against autocracy, the great Amerl- can republic, the citadel of liberty and democracy. must do it's full duty in the destruction of Prussian despotism and autocracy. It is a duty that we owe to liberty, democracy, humanity and civ illzation, and we must show the world that we intend to discharge that duty with that valor, courage and determi- nation that have made us famous and won the admiration of the world.

Pekin, June 3.-EIeven provinces of China, including the province of Chilli, in which Pekin is situated, now no longer recognize the authority of the Pel1in government. The provinces of kwang-Tung, kwang-Si and Yum nan are supporting President Yuan Hung.
 The provisional assembly of Kwang- Tung, in assuring it's loS 1l support to the President and Parliamen demands that the military governors be dls- missed and punished. Dr. Sun 4at-Sen' Former Premier Tang Shao-Yl' ana other revolutionary leaders, are pro- ceedine hurriedly to Canton. It seems probable that should the military gov ernors persist in their revolutionary course that the three loyal south China provinces named Kwang-Tung, Kwans-Si, and Yun-Nan, will rise Tn support of the President. At the pres ent the situation is serious and the President virtually powerless.
 According to official information to- day President Lii Yuan-Hung intends tomorrow to introduce a bill taking III a declaration of war against Germany If there is a quorum present in Parlia- ment The presence of a quorum, how ever, seems doubtful
