One young man, supposed 20
have been born in Washburn, denied
his American citizenship in order
to present an excuse for refusing to
purchase liberty bonds. Said he did
not want any of the bonds anyway.
If we had our way about it this
young man would not find employ
ment i'm the United States but
would be deported on the first boat
leaving. We have no time for these
men who earn their living in the
md of the free and the home Of the
brave arc then refuse to stick up
for it. The country would be better
for their leaving. and the country
that receives them receives but y
poor piece of humanity.

STATE OPENS LITIGATION
IN ALLEGED GINNERS'
AND CRUSHERS' TRUST

Oklahoma City. Nov 27.-Final prep.
| arations for the states suit In the anti
trust charges against cotton ginners and
cotton seed millers before the corpo.
ration commission today are being
made. The hearing today Is In the ma.
ture of n preliminary hearing, but a
number of witnesses will be introduced.
Following the hearing today. IL Is
expected that members OF the corpo-
ration commission will go into the coun-
ties where conditions have been com.
planned of and conduct other hearings,
which will be preparatory to n final
hearing in Oklahoma City. The date
for the final hearing probably will be
some time after the first OF the year.
The fact that the federal government
has started upon program of price
fixing for cotton and cotton seed pro-
ducts will not alter the states deter.
mination to prosecute charges against
the cotton ginners and cottonseed mil.
lers, II was said. The principal hope
of the state Is to have rules evolved
that will result in storehouses being
provided for farmers to store their cot.
ton and seed at the gins. and the gov.
ernment's price-fixing program will in
no way affect this.

KITCHENER TRAINING

RECENT WILD RUMOR

From the Liverpool Post, Oct 30:
In reply to question in. parliament
Bonar Law informed Sir Richard Cooper
CWalsall. O. snut he could not lay on
the table the official report of the in
quiry into the loss of His Majesty s
ship Hampshire.
Sir Richard Cooper - Can the Right
Hon. gentleman say now the publica-
ton of this report, after sixteen months
interval, would be of advantage TO the
enemy?
Mr. Law--The government has - l
think wisely - decided not to publish
reports of courts of inquiry, and l see
no reason to make any change in this
case.
The latest story about Kitchener
(says a Daily Dispatch correspondent
is that he is training troops in China

a yellow army 100000 strong.

Sunday, German efforts have been
checked by the French artillery while

French and British soldiers have
reached the fighting zone north of the
Venetian plains to aid the Italians in
their brave defense against the invad-
ing Austro-German forces. Between
the Brenta and the Piave, the Italians

clear headed coolness and courage are
necessary. This company behaved on
one occasion as 1t was expected to do
and as every other company of Ameri-
can soldiers is expected to do under
similar circumstances The French gen.
eral commanding the sector considers
these men have earned war crosses and
| here deliver them and the citations.
You understand that you must not
wear them. but must keep them in
your possession until the American
congress authorizes the wearing Of
them

lieutenants stepped from their positions,
saluted and received their individual
crosses. The general congratulated
each. Next the non.commissioned off
