bility for the closest cooperation is self.
evident and already has been recog.
nized by the allies, but he is not enthu.
siastic for the plan as explained at
present. Among other points, he con
tends that the purview of the council
should embrace all of the fronts, not
only the western. He says also that
the advisory committee must contain
naval as well as military representa-.
tives.
The writer maintains that command
ers in the field will disapprove of at
tempts by the proposed committee on
military to interfere with their plans,
and believes that if their opinions .re-
garding the council could be made
known they would be wholly unfayor.

THE suggestion that our disappoint.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 14.-More than
one thousand corporations and indivi.
duals engaged in ginning, storing and
trading in cotton and more than fifty
companies manufacturing or handling
cotton seed and its products are named

The-list of defendants embraces every
concern in Oklahoma dealing in cot,

the attorney generals office and it is
set forth in the petition that other
companies whose names are unknown
to the complainants" also are members
of the alleged combine and the right to

The principal contention set forth in
the petition is that the defendants have

ARE SEEKING BETTER
WATER SUPPLY

sulphur. Okla. Nov. 14.-tSpeciaD-
The movement for a larger water sup.
ply and fire protection begun last week
promises to materialize with successful
tests of the water the committee expect
TO use. Mayor Stevenson left yester.
day for Norman where he will have a
sample of the water analysed and an
expert on the matter of pumping plants
and facilities will be interviewed rela-
tive to plans expected to be perfected
here to install a plant and supply bas-
ins to meet the requirements of the
town. Mayor Stevenson is chairman
of the committee and it was decided
that he should look after this part of
the work at once.
While the supply now on hand and
source from which the city obtains the
supply will hold out for the present,
unless some unexpected happening di-
verts the supply no time will be lost in
putting a full capacity plant in oper-
alton. The present springs will also
be examined and perhaps a dam erect
ed for the present in order to check
some of the fall and in this manner
assure a storage OF larger capacity
than heretofore. Being on federal prop
erty improvements and erections Of
dams and other steps that the commit
tee might care to take are held up be-
cause of the necessary regulations to
be complied with.

DEFENSE COUNCIL ASKS ALL CIT
IZENS TO REMEMBER BOYS
IN CAMP AT CHRISTMAS.

Oklahoma City, Nov. 14.-(SpcciaD.
Remember the lads in camp. A lot
of them are away from home for the
first time in their lives. Most Of them
have relatives and friends at home
but a lot of them do not. They are
offering all they have for the country,
and while we are training them to be-
come part of the greatest army that
has ever taken the field. we must net
forget that they are still mere lads,
most of them among strangers. Christ
mas time is drawing near, and one
thing we can all do is to remember the
boys with gifts and letters"
This appeal is being sent 20 citizens
of Oklahoma by the Oklahoma State
Council of Defense. Gifts for tle boys
across the water must be sent by to-
morrow, but practically all of Okla
homa's boys are still in American train
ing camps. Packages may be sent TO
them at date later than this.
christmas is above all a time TO
remember those TO whom we are n
debted with messages and gifts of love
and appreciation" the message says.
Every citizen in Oklahoma owes a
debt to each and every lad in camp.
Many of them will be flooded with gifts
and letters. II will be to the lasting
shame of every citizen If there is a
single lad whose heart aches on Christ
mas morning because his mail box is
empty while the thousands of others
are rejoicing over the thought that
they have someone to whom their
friendship is dear.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE French newspa-

2500 guns.
In the general staff on the western

Temps. 1T is that of the United States.
1t is not that America has been for

going TO Rapallo consulted with the
Washington government and the Unit

that Colonel House is in London await

Sunday morning at the churches of the
county. In the afternoon speakers
went to almost every school house in

folk came forward with interest and
handed in handsome donations. In the

President Wilson's Letter.

The following letter from President
Wilson to Judge Chambers expresses
the presidents attitude toward the sit
uation.
MY dear Judge Chambers:
May | not express my very deep and
serious interest in your efforts to bring
the railroad executives and the brother
hoods engaged i'm train operation to an
agreement that there shall be no inter
ruption in the relations on either side
until ample opportunity shall have been
afforded the United States board of me
diation and conciliation to bring about
if possible, an amicable agreement, and
that in event of failure to bring about
an agreement, any controversy that may
have arisen will be submitted to arbitra-
ton in accordance with the provisions
of the Newlands law.
Il take it for granted that your eff
forts will succeed, because it IS incon-
ceivable to me that patriotic men should
now for a moment contemplate the in
terruption of the transportation which
is so absolutely necessary to the safety
of the nation and to its success in arms.
as well as to its industrial life but l
wanted, nevertheless. to express my
deep personal interest in the matter and
to wish you Godspeed.
The last thing | should wish or con
template would be the possibility of be-
ing obliged to take any unusual meas
ures to operate the railways, and have
so much confidence that the men you
are dealing with will appreciate the pa
triotic motives underlying your efforts
that | shall look forward with assur-
ance to your success.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson"
