LETTER FIGURES IN HISTORY
1t Gave Nelson Information That Re-
suited In Battle OF the Nile.

''Great oaks from little acorns grow"
and events OF world Importance from
merost trifles. Recalling the other day
the anniversary of Nenson's magnifi-
cent victory IN the Battle Of the Nine,
collector Of odds and ends in his
tory dug ONT the interesting incident
that that memorable event was trace
able to nothing greater than a pin
prick. 1t Is we'll known that Nelson
had been In vain seeking the French
fleet, but this story supplies the in
formation as to how at last he OBJ
tained the news he was wanting.
1t is to the effect that one evening
the wife OF Sir John Action, COM
mander Of the British forces at
Naples, was quietly making ready,
with the help of her French maid, for
dinner. Sir John was at hand. He saw
the maid receive a letter, which caused
her to start so violently that she ran
pin into Lady Acton. The maid apol-
ogized. but still betrayed excitement.
The letter, she explained, was from
her brother. ? French sailor. from
whom she had not heard for long
time. Acton offered to read the letter
to her while she continued to brush
Lady Acton's hair. AS good as his
word. he did read the letter. As he
expected, the sailor brothers. missive
told all he wanted to know as to the
enemys movements. He forthwith got
into communication with Nelson, and
the Battle of the Nile was the result.
Whether entirely true or not, the
story has value rs emphasizing the
official warning as to the escape OF
military secrets. There is a great deal
OF incautious talk in mixed company.
and local instances could be cited
where even men In uniform have
thoughtlessly dropped hints that
would be OF service to an enemy should
such person be Of the company or
within hearing. 1t is hard for us to
realize. but Il 10 true, that possible
eavesdroppers with hostile intent are
lurking ever near at hand or con-
fidently thrusting themselves into any
general conversation. picking up stray
bits OF information that In themselves
seem innocent enough, but which
when placed shrewdly together make
up damaging disclosure.

SEeAOlER BURNS AT SEA;
COMMANDER is CAPTURED
German Raider Tricks Victims Into
Botraying Location by Asking
Time of Day

AT A PACIFIC PORT, Oct. So
Count Won Luckner. commander of the
German raider Seeadler, told Fill
island newspaper correspondents when
he was captured near the Fijis recent
ly that the raider was destroyed by

cording to officers of vessel which
arrived here yesterday with details OF
the counts capture. Previous reports
were that the vessel was wrecked on
an island.
The count also asserted, according
to the steamers officers. that the See
adler destroyed 25 steamers and sail
ing vessels on Its cruise. Five of the
captured craft all sailing vessels, were
sunk In the Pacific. he said. All the
crews were sent ashore.
a favorite plan of his was to send
out wireless message asking for the
time. Someone would oblige him and
often the ship supplying the time was
traced and sunk,

When "Camouflagc" Failed.

A young man in charge OF a newly
plated realty tract, upon which the
only building was tho office OF the
company, upon seeing the first per-
son to enter the door. hastily took
down the telephone and commenced:
Yes, sir; 1 think We can agree on
those terms. Thirty lots In one par
Gel and twenty in another. Yes, sir,
the price Is satisfactory. $4,000 a,
the transfer and the remainder In

brough Stone OF the Eight circuit
court Of appeals.
New Laws Supcrscdc.
In making the ruling the court was
agreed that tho laws OF 1916 and 1917
did supersede tho law OF 1909. which
provided only for the conservation OF
gas from gas wells. The latter laws
provide for conservation OF both. re-
Rardless OF whether they come from
different wells tho same well from
different sands or the same sand.
a question of fact arose In the pres
ent case I'm which II was Contended
by one side that the oil and gas came
from two different stratas. The com
mission contended that the gas and
ell came from the same sand. two
members Of the court, Judges stone
and Campbell. shared in the belief
that the commission had the authority
tC apply It's order only where oil and
gas were taken from different sands
Judge Cotteral believed that II also
covered the matter OF oil and gas from
the same sand. The court was unani-
nous, however In that the oil com
pany had failed to produce sufficient
evidence 10 show that the commis-
sion's order would work an injury on
the company's property.

PEOPLES CONSCIENCE
BEING DEPENDED UPON
II. NJ. X. Smith, State Director
Of Food Campaign, De-
livers Address.

This Is the fhst time I'm the history
OF the world that government has
depended upon the conscience of its
people to carry out n nationwide war
| measure That was tho keynote OF
the address given at "a meeting of
the directors of the Tulsa county food
pledge campaign at the high school
last night by II. NJ. X. Smith state
director OF the campaign. The speaker
had no fear that the campaign would
fail In this county and city, after re-
viewing the results of the bond cam
paign. but told those present that II
much greater effort must be made.
Several cities Of the state last night
reported over twenty-five hundred
names registered tho first day, while
returns In Tulsa county show only
about one thousand after two days.
Lack OF Enthusiasm.
Neither men and women workers
have displayed the enthusiasm they
should but II liz expected that great
showing will be made after today.
Several organizations. among them
the Chamber OF Commerce and the
Rotary club. have offered the services
of many automobiles and all the men
needed to mako thoro canvass OF
the county. Tulsa has never yet failed
to do her part of any great movement
and the directors of the campaign feel
that by the end of the week the name
OF every loyal man, woman and child
In the county will be enrolled. This
pledge is nothing more than an agree
ment between the government and
every loyal citizen that the latter, In
exchange for the liberty and protec-
ton enjoyed, shall make little savings
In food wherever possible every day
of the year. Nothing more is asked.
After today the complete returns of
the names registered will be received
each night, This detail has been over
looked and as the result the only re-
turn listed last night was that OF the
Emerson district, Mrs. Reagan, chair
man, with three hundred names.
Rogers Talks.
Harry II. Rogers made a short talk
before introducing Mr. Smith and dur
ing his remarks made plain that 1t
was the little sacrifices of the house /!
wife that would win the war. II every
one in the country would abstain from |
wheat bread during one day In the |
week that problem would be solved. |
If every one denied themselves beef. !
pork and mutton one day in the week |
the meat question would be solved. |
This. with the careful use of other |
foods to prevent waste, would take
the greatest burden borne by the gov
off it's shoulders.
County Chairman Lilah ID. Lindsay !
opened the meeting with the thot that
Tulsa had never fallen down on any
thing which 1t had undertaken and |
for that reason il was known all over
the world as a city which did things |
Tulsa will finish the week with a rec |
ord equal TO any city in the country |
when the workers become properly |
enthused.
