Maj. Hugh Scott, who was at one
time an important factor in the Okla =
homa national guard and who later
came to Tulsa and attempted to Or
ganiZe the Tulsa ambulance company,
will arrive I'm Tulsa Wednesday morn
ing. according to the foregoing tele
gram. and probably will maintain
headquarters at the Chamber of Com
merce during his stay here.
II was impossible last night to as
certain how long Major Scott wou .
remain in Tulsa but the sense of the
telegram is believed to be In error and
J. Burr Gibbons, president of the
county council of defense, stated that
the major probably would be in Tulsa
several days or until the end of the
present week at least.
There have been no definite ar
rangements made with the Chamber
of Commerce, but 1t is certain that the
organization will be glad to furnish
the major with desk room. where he
can meet those men who desire to be-
come identified with the forces he
represents, thereby getting into SER
vice before the draft machinery again
gets under way.

torpedo boats. 1t fired two torpedoes

Lifeboats Shelled; Women Clinging
to Debris Shot by German Raiders
Tales of Wanton Murder Told
by Survivors of Flotilla
Destroyed by Teutons.

CHRISTIANA, oct 22.-The Norwe-
gian newspapers bitterly denounce the
'murderous attack of the Germans"
in the convoy action last week in the
North sea. The newspapers in Ber-
gen where survivors of the attack were
taken demand the deportation from
Norway of all Germans employed by
the German general purchasing
agency.
The Christiania newspaper Verdens
Gang says the affair was characteristic
of German brutality and exceptional
cowardice. The newspaper adds that
the Germans having put the British
warships out of the game, acted
against peaceful merchantmen as If
they were part OF the British navy.
''It was the most dastardly deed
any navy can boast of" says the
Tidens Tegn. "It outrlvals all other
German crimes"
The Aftenporten says:
''Since the torpedoing of the first
Norwegian vessel by a German Uboat
no German deed amaZes us"

Mary Rose Fought Single
Handed Against Mammoth
Fighters of Enemy.

LONDON, oct. 22.-The British de-
stroyer Mary Rose fought single
handed against the German cruisers
in the convoy action in the North sea,
according to a story ascribed to a
British officer rescued off Bergen and
transmitted by the Christiania cor
respondent OF the Times. The other
destroyer, which should have been
present, never appeared and it is thot
likely that it was destroyed at the be-
ginning of the action.
After fighting for half an hour, dur
ing which she was subjected to the
most terrific concentrated fire, the
Mary Rose sank. Ten members of the
crew were found clinging' to debris
and rescued
The correspondent says that the re-
ports of the butchery of the crews OF
the merchantman pass description
Two women on one side waved piece
Of white cloth which was perfectly
visible. They were silenced by a vol
ley from the German cruisers.

now there was awful work among the

music from the front yard.
This accompaniment came to a stop,
and Johnnie Watson jumped. He
seized each of his companions by a

glowing. "Here." he cried. 1--WE bet

Charlie Hickman, who holds the
American league record for hitting as
a first baseman ana who for four years
held an average Of higher than 800

clubs, was elected recently to the some

Of Morgantown, n Of West Virginia's
most thriving cities, which boasts a
population Of between $4,000 and 90

Hickman started out playing baseball
there in 1896, went from Morgantown
to Newcastle, Pa, in the old Interstate,

William was reused by the sound Of
fore the farmhouse. Bitterly he smiled,
remembering that Wallace Banks had
engaged Italians with harp, violin and
flute, promising great things for dane
ing on a fresh clipped lawn. Johnnie
Watson approached and spoke in a low
tone, tinged with spiteful triumph.
"Well, anyway, ole fat George didn't
get the first dance with her! She's the
guest Of honor, and Wallace had a
right to it because he did all the work.
He came up to 'em, and ole fat George
couldn't say a thing. Wallace just
took her right away from him. George
didn't say anything at all, but I s'pose
after this dance he'll be rushin' around
again and nobody else'll have a chance
to get near her the rest of the after
noon.'
"Where'd he go? William asked list
lessly.
II don't know. He just walked off
without sayin' anything. But he'll be

you fear, and he'll grab her again

But behind the house, whittier they

he checked them. Look there!' he

Sounds Of paroxysm drew their atten-

soul rending and lugubrious. William

of Mr.. Crooper. He was seated upon
