MAXIM HAS DEVICE TO THWART U-BOATS.
Can Be Attached to Any Ship,
 Says Inventor

New York. May 23.-Hudson Maxim announces that he has invented and perfected a device which will make all ships imune from the dangers of the submarine. He says that torpedoes, even when fired at close range and striking their targets, would explode harmlessly against the hulls of their intended victims. The invention has not been submitted to the naval board. % The inventor made the announce ment at luncheon given by the Full ton Street association of Brooklyn in the Hotel Bossert. He anplified his announcement at his. home in Lake Hopatcong. He asserted that the in- vention soon will be practically demonstrated by the government, which already had been advised of the details.
 'sThe invention Is practical for every type of vessel" he said. "It can be applied within few months at a com- paratively cheap price to the hulls of ships already constructed, but better still can be built in the hulls of vessels which are to be constructed. Tho only change necessary in vessels already built will be slight enlargement in their beam. My device is of solid ma. terial and encircles the entire hull of the ship from the bow to the stern. It in no sense or manner resembles either . screen or not
 While the device has not yet been tested by the government. have per- fect confidence in it. do not believe that any secrecy regarding this inven- ton Is necessary. Germany does not care about an invention that will safe- guard shipping; 1t cares only for those things which will destroy. Therefore publicity will in no wise hurt the in terests of this country or its allies. <.

COMING OIL AND GAS FIELDS
 IS IN THE SOUTHEAST.

COMING OIL AND GAS FIELDS
 IS IN THE SOUTHEAST.
 That the greatest part of the fu- ture oil and gas development in Oklahoma must be in the south eastern part of the state. and that there is very little hope for Western Oklahoma along that line. is the opinion of Professor Charles N. Gould, formerly director of the Oklahoma Geological Survey. He expressed the belief that south eastern Oklahoma is as rich in these deposits as the northeastern part, already developed, and that 1t has been merely accidental that the development has proceeded along the line that 1t has.
 ''The propable oil field in Okla homa," says Prof. Gould, "coincides very closely with the coal fields. It will be noted that the greater number of productive areas lie in the northeastern part of the State. This Is largely due to the fact that that development began at the Kansas line and has moved south ward, slowly and methodically. The first wells were drilled along the seth meridian and the shallow held. 50 called, further northeast. At the present time the develop ment has progressed as far south as Muskogee, Okmulgee and Henry etta."

 Should Demand Indemnity.
 This indemnity is a contribution which isNindioted as a fine for wrong done," said the premier. Tt is a re- uuirement which both law and equity demand The same reparation should be required for all small nations which have been crushed. for Belgium. Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro.
 "No conquests and no covetousness that. in substance. is what the Rus- sian government declare. France re- plies that 1t could not oppress any nationality. even that of it's enemies. It will call to its taid to defend the small nations, notNvenseance. but Jus tice.
 .swhat France also wishes Is Q dur- able peace, but we do not wish milt- tary dispositions to endure which can destroy this durable peace when 1t IS once made. If the German people comprehend this it would make peace easier to attain. That is the view of Russia at the moment when the United States is making preparations to enter the war. Now let Russia make her OII0nSlV0 anu Wo VIII u0 able to talk of peace. not in an equivocal manner, but openly. and this peace, if they do not ask 1t of us. we will impose it.
 MT. Ribot prefaced his reference to Russia by asking for a postponement of the debate, because of converse tions to which the French government has been invited by the Russian gov ernment."
 ''We are following the development of the Russian revolution with the utmost care and sympathy he con tinued. 'The eminent and courageous statesmen of Russia were surrounded for a. time by influences which rom dered their action difficult, but the men of intelligence. who have now taken in hand declarations which give us complete satisfaction. They say that they wish a strong government. and they desire above all to establish in the army that severe discipline which is an indispensable condition of the existence of the Russian nation.

 In eighteen years Oklahoma has been transformed from a cattle range and Indian hunting ground into state equal in industrial wealth and agricultural resources to almost any of the 46 states in the Union, People can understand how the farm lands of Oklahoma were so quickly developed because they knew that thousands settled upon them in a single day. but the world has looked in wonder at the marvellous growth of the cities and towns.
 Cities are founded upon industry and industries are supported by the land. Oklahoma is one great diver sified farm and the. cities and towns are her supply stations.

CTS in two townships of the Heald- ton district have received over 3f,- 500.000 cash for leases on their lands. according to T. D. Wagner. local realty dealer, who has just made an estimate of the amount of business done in region where wildcatting has been active and lease values soaring. These town ships are three and four in the south, embracing territory whore the big Gypsy wells are and the operations about Milroy.
 Farmers of this part of the country simply arc growing wealth out of oil leasing" says MT. Wag- ner, "An illustration of their flnan- cial conditions is found in the fact that prior to the first of last Au- gust put out for a compay I represent an average of $10,000 . month in loans on farm lands. whereas since that date have had only one application for a farm loan and it amounted to $3,00O.
 "The farmers do not need to bor- row money any more. The oil men are paying them all they need for expenses and a majority, of them arc putting . balance in the banks. Deposits have been growing by leaps in nearly every bank in four counties of southern Oklahoma for the last IF months. These are the most prosperous times the farmers of this section have ever experd- enced."
