CHILL.

Chill is a Ted-headed food that
sounds like three degrees below zero
and tastes like 1O4 in the shade. 1t
was named after Chile, South Amer
lea, which is also hot stuff.
South American Chile is free. And
has been free ever since the Argen-
tine army rushed in and repulsed the
Spaniards in 1917. But Chill in this
country is 10 cents a dish.
Chile is bounded on the north by
Peru and plate of crackers, on the
south by the Pacific ocean and pa
per napkin, on the east by Argentina
and the salt and pepper and on the
west by some more of the Pacific
ocean and man with a spoon in
his hand.

RAILROAD GANG FIGHTS
BATTLE WITH BANDITS
Several Wounded When Rob-
bers Take Pay From MeXi-
cans Near Appalachie.

Several members Of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railroad company's
extra gang stationed at Appalachie.
sixteen miles north Of Tulsa, living in
boarding cars and engaged in grad
ing the roadbed in this division, were
shot and probably fatally wounded
shortly before IL o'clock last night,
according to private railroad dis
patches received at the local Katy
passenger station, which stated that
more than fifty shots were fired dur
ing running gun battle that was
staged after a band of eight robbers
had relieved the laborers of their
monthly pay, which had been left in
the camp Saturday by the company
paymaster.

eight white men who exchanged shots
with their victims while they ran
north, crossing the river near the
scene of the holdup and continuing
on north toward Keystone. Tulsa city
and county authorities were commu-

rushed to the scene in automobiles.
DR.. Fred S. Clinton Of the Oklahoma
hospital was also called to the scene

No description of the bandits could
be given by the victims other than
they were white men. There was
but little artificial light in the rail-
road camp and the men did not take
the precaution of covering their faces
with masks After crossing the river
the bandits entered an automobile.
All lights on the car had been extin-
guished and only by the roar OF the
engine could their course be deter
mined.
Officers in all localities thru which

MADISON BARRACKS, New York,
July 29.--In speech here tonight
before loo members OF the officers

ert Lansing, emphasizing the peril of
German Imperialism to the United
States and to the world, declared his
belief that the German people would

stroyed forever the evil ambitions OF

promises as to indiscriminate sub

has been growing more evident as the
war has progressed and which needed
but this act OF perfidy to bring il
home to all thinking Americans. The
evil character OF the German govern

with ambitions which menace human

not hesitate TO break faith, to violate

''It needed but the words reported

that sufficient submarines could not
be built before that time to make the
attacks on commerce. DO you realize

NO NEWS, GOOD NEWS

Reported While Soldiers
Are Being Transported.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-Move-
ment of American troops to France
will be carried on absolutely without
publicity if the present policy of the
war department remains unaltered.
Secretary Baker and some OF his mill
tary advisers believe no word should
be published of the arrival Of troops
abroad, and 1t Is probable this Will
be made clear to all newspapers and
press associations in forthcoming
regulations under the voluntary CEN
sorship to which the press of the
country has subjected itself.
Assurances have been given both
by navy and army officials that dis
asters will not be headed under the
veil of this censorship and presuma-
bly, under the new arrangements the
American people will be expected to
understand that no news is good news
in this respect.
1t is probable a system of regular
official announcements by the war
department on the military situation
shortly will be inaugurated. The sec
retary is known to have some such
plan under consideration.

Food Bill Conferees Eliminate
Kerosene, Gasoline, Oil
and Gas Wells.
PIPE LINES STILL INCLUDED
Oklahomans Urged to Keep
Eye Open When Revenue
Measures Comes Up.
BY OMER X. BENEDICT.

(World's Washington CorrespOndent)
WASHINGTON. July 29.-kerosene
and gasoline have been stricken from
the food control bill and the words
"including fuel oil" inserted after the
word fuel" Oil wells and gas wells
have been eliminated from the COM
Wandering feature of the bill. but
gas pipe lines and oil pipe lines re-
mained in.
This was t.:- condition OF the pro-
visions affecting the oil industry at
adjournment of the conferees today
until o'clock tomorrow, which
means that they will probably lie un-
able to report tomorrow as expected
and which will give Chairman Lever
time to confer with the president.
Still Subject to Change.
A conference report is never def
mite until it is finally signed and
the oil industry is still subject to
minor changes The fact that gas
pipe lines were left in the bill would
indicate that gas might go back into
the bill unless it is left in an anom-
olous state. Pipe lines were left in
the bill, but by the elimination Of
certain features refineries are not
now to come under government regu-
lations, which provides for price fix
ing and licensing the owners and 9TH
er Objectionable measures.
Today's developments look more
favorable to the industry than at any
time since the food bill was intro
duced six weeks ago, and 1t is hoped
that the bill finally will be corrected
so as not to place the oil men in the
same class as food spectators and
steel and coal highwaymen.
Distinction i'm "Fuel OH.
There is a neat little distinction in
the use of the words fuel oil'', but
1t was the only term that could be
applied that would not include pc
troleum and its products, which was
the original construction of the pro-
posed bill first introduced and which
would take in everything from gaso-
line to axle grease and kerosene to
cosmetics.
1t is not known. Of course. what
the presidents idea will be toward
these changes and the probabilities
are the entire bill will be submitted
to an expert before it is finally agreed
upon for final passage.
Oklahoma Should Keep Awake.
Whether the food control bill is
changed to suit the oil industry or
not. 1T has been a good thing with
which to awaken them to what is
going on in Washington and it is
hoped they will take a little more in
terest in the future, especially when
the new revenue bill is framed. Had
il not been for a few interested Ok
lahoma congressman the bill would
have passed the house with a 10 per
cent tax on gasoline. and if Secretary
McAdoo's plans are carried out to
raise three billion dollars by the rev.
enue bill instead of billion and a
half, the chances are that the oil
men will be hit hard enough by the
federal government. to say nothing
of the confiscatory taxation methods
of the state Of Oklahoma.

night after an all day conference ana
