Attorney General Says Opinion
Is a Good One,

A strict enforcement Of the newly .
constitutional provision
which Is death kncll TO wildcatting Ia
Oklahoma wa, demanded today by
Secretary Of State J. l. Lyon
I'VE now have blue sky law as
strict as any state in the union and
more stringent than most said Mr..
Lyon. III now is up to the governor
and the attorney general to see that the
law is enforced"
viii Be Enforced.
That there need be no fear but that
the Ia wwll be enforced is indicated
by an expression from Attorney Gen.
erai S. p Freezing today who asserted
that the opinion handed down by Judge
J. Raincy is good one and will re-
suit in squeezing the water from al
Oklahoma stocks.
Judge Rainey's opinion was the chiei
topic OF conservation at the statehoua
today. Many state officials found
themselves In possession Of worthless
stock certificates today. One recently
paid $500 for 1000 shares Of stock IN
lead and zinc company, the par value
Of which was 81 share. The stock
now 10 said 10 be worth more than paf
and this official Yesterday would not
have taken $1,000 for his stock. Now,
however, In view OF Judge Raineys
decision the stock certificates are void
and the official will lose the $500 ho
| paid for them in all probability.
/ Officials Losers.
Another was on a deal TO purchase
several hundrsd shares OF stock At 10
cents n share for which he had a mar
, ket At 50 cents q share. The par
value OF the sock IL 81
Both deals were halted today for ny
udgc Rainey's decision both trahsat-
lions would have been void. AS this
stock originally was purchased for 10
cents n share Il will revert back TO tho
company since the original issue OF
the stock was fictitious and therefore
void.
Predicts Rscsivsrshipa
One state official, who Is lawyer,
has a bundle OF highly engraved stock
certificates which we're issued TO him
in exchange for legal advice. When he
was turned over the stock It was worth
about 10 cents a share and he was
given ten times as much stock as he
would have been paid had II been SELL
ing at par His stock certificates are
worthless as a result Of the Rsincy
opinion.
The supreme court opinion WHICH
holds that stock cannot be sold at less
than par value came at an opportune
time" said a state official today.
Stock sharpcrs would have a ripe field
with so many men in the army by sell

To Jury Today

The possibility OF the case heing sub
mitted to the jury some time this even
ing seemed heightened by statement
Of Justice Manning prior to the opening
of court. He said If it seemed war
ranted he would continue the sessions
into the night in an endeavor to fin

An additional indication that the trial
would end today was a suggestion
that District Attorney Weeks said he
would make TO the court, to permit the

up to the time Of the tragedy, TO stand

The Alsace-Lorraine front. therefore.
will probably be attire with some O:
the most intense activity of the war
when Americas major offensive be-
gins. This front is dangerously near
German territory in Lorraine and
passes directly into Germany in
southern Alsace. There can be little
doubt of the depression to German
morale that would result from quick
advance by the Americans through
Lorraine and Alsace toward the Rhine.
To attempt to prevent g. rnaneuyer
Of this character, the Germans may
be planning an early attack In Alsac.e
and Lorraine before the Americans
are fully ready. In reality such q
movement would be a defensiye-of-
fensive, designed to throw back the
present French lines and compel the
Americans to make longer journey
before reaching Germany.
There is little reason to believe,
however, that German attack in AL
SAGE Lorraine would be more success
ful than along any other part OF the
western front. A second Verdun
might well ensue for the German
crown prince.
In fact any offensive tactics en-
ployed by the Germans in the west
win probably work to the advantage OF
Americas strategy by depicting still
further Germany's waning man pow
er. Yet, il the Germans can persuade
the Austro-Hungarian to donate men

probably see Won Hindenburg taking
chance before the winter Is over. The
