Commons whether representations
had been received from the American
military authorities regarding the
character of the canteens for Ameri-
can troops here and in France and
whether any beverages other than
non-alcoholic were provided.
In reply, James IVAN Mcpherson

to those open to the British troops.
No objections had been raised by the
American military authorities, he ad-
ded, to similar arrangements in

IN MEMORIAM

On Saturday, July 9TH 1917, God
saw fit in His infinite wisdom to take
from us our dear one, little Edwin M.
Davis His death was not unexpected.
When God relieved him of his suffer
ings and took him to glory.
All that loving friends, relatives
and kind physicians could do was of
no avail He leaves heartbroken
mother and father and one little sister
to mourn his death.
Dear Edwin, how we miss you.
Our home is shrouded in sadness, but
we know that He doeth all things
well.
A precious one from US is gone,
A voice we loved is STILL
A place is vacant in the home,
Can never more be filled.
Our darling, in His wisdom called,
The boon his love had given,
And though on earth his body lies,
The soul is safe in heaven.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep
A calm and undisturbed repose I'm
broken by the last of foes Farewell
dear Edwin, farewell We must say
one last farewell Yet again we hop,
ito meet thee. Happy there with the,
to dwell Through all pain at time
he'd smile. smile of heavenly birth
And when the angels called him HON,
he smiled farewell to earth
It's hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
It's hard, SO hard to speak the words
We must forever part
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the heavenly casket keeps,
And the sunbeams long to linger
Where my sainted little nephew
sleeps.
Dearest loved one, we have laid thet
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But the memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.

wAPRIED MEN PASSING
BETTER PHYSICAL EXAM.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug 7-Married men
are making much better physical
showing before the local boards of
Atlanta than are the single men. ac-
cording TO the doctor members<N the
board. There are seven boards in
Atlanta and without exception the
doctor members, who look after the
physical examination of the men re-
quircd to present themselves, have
found that the married men grade uD
decidedly better than the bachelors.
This fact should certainly afford
the feminist a great source of conso-
lation, since it would seem to prove,
in spite OF vaudeville Jokes and comic
paper witticisms to the contrary not
withstanding, that the average mar
ried man is a blamed sight better off
with a wife to look after him than
a fellow who must look after him
self.

To Ask Death Penalty

Oklahoma City, Aug, 6-Without
waiting for conclusion OF the States
campaign against organized resistance
to the selectiye draft in Central Okla
homa, the United States Government
today moved to punish the 200 men
under arrest in connection with armed
opposition to military service. War
rants charging treason were served
on the prisoners who were taken to
the penitentiary at McAlster or the
jail at Muskogee to await trial which
United States District Attorney w. P
McGinnis will ask that the death pen
atty be imposed.
Some Refuse to Surrender
Announcement that extreme pun
ishnent would be asked was expect
ed to aid materially in bringing to
terms the few resistcrs still sheltered
in the hills. Posses in three counties
Seminole Hughes and Pottawato-
mie-reported tonight that isolated
groups refused to surrender, but that
they apparently were discouraged and
seeking to avoid an encounter. Ex-
cept for the fact that several agita-
tors, regarded as leaders in the dis
turbance and dangerous to remain at
large, are among these maintaining
a show of resistance the authorities
would be inclined to let the bands
break up, confident that the less i'm
portant members could be arrested
later.
Determination of the possemen to
run down all of the leaders was
strengthened today by conhscation Of
half a freight car Of dynamite found
on a siding in Seminole county. An
investigation is being made to estab-
| fish ownership. The car was unac-
companied
Clashes Cost Three Lives
Clashes between the resisters and
posses have cost three lives and num-
erous injuries. Two directors to the
draft have been killed and a traveller
was shot when he failed to heed a
posses warning to halt.
Developments of the causes Of the
outbreak and of the forces behind it
is expected in preliminary hearings
tomorrow wien the men in custody
are arraigned before a United States
commissioner at McAlester. 1t has
been learned that unrest has existed
in the affected district for more than
two years. Agitators belonging tc
the Working Class Union" the
=" ones Family" and similar organiza-
tons cultivated discomfort due to
economic conditions of the poor ten
ant farmer class and when drawings
were made for the national army the
outbreak resulted.
The prisoners were moved to Nc
Alester and Muskogee from the small
jails in the counties where they were
arrested because it was feared an at.
tempt in force might be made to res.
cue them.
