Improvements Sought.

That big business men, far-seeine
pubic spirited citizens and the heads
of the greatest institutions in the city.
the bankers, are whole -heartedly and
unreservedly for the proposed $1,000
600 bond issue proposed by the city
administration was evidenced yester-
day when representatives of every
bank in the city unanimously indorsed
the bonds at the meeting OF the Clears
ing House association and Liberty loan
committee held at Hotel Tulsa.
This action, coming on the eve of a
probable discussion and ironing out
of final details, Mt today's meeting of
the city commissioners dlspelled all
doubt that there would or could be
any real opposition to the issue.
IT is expected that the bond issue
will be approved today by members OF
the directorate OF the Chamber of
Commerce when they gather at Hotel
Tulsa at noon to discuss the matter
with other business at their regular

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, June IA.
Petitions to refer the Muskogce fair
bill and the Ferguson "tone dry" bill
tC Il vote of the people were filed with
the secretary of state this evening the
last day on which they could be tiled.
Promoters of the petitions to the
fair bill claimed to have 16,Si3 names
which is slightly more than is nee
cSsary
Persons clling the petitions to the
bone dry" bill did not know how
many names they had but believed
thcv had the requisite number. The
filing of petitions however, will have
the effect of suspending the effect
iveness of the law until it is ascer-
;aincd how many names there are.
This will probably require six or
seven days. Petitions to the anticig-
aret law were not filed, as not enough
names could be secured and the law

BRITISH CONTINUE
SLASHING AT LINE
Germans Unwilling to Stand
and Give Battle; Artillery
Roaring.
By associated Press

The British troops i'm the region Of
Messines are continuing to make gains
AT various points against the Germans
who apparently are unwilling to give
battle. Both east and south OF Mes
sines fresh advances by Field Marshal
llaig's forces and the capture of i'm
portant first line positions are re-
ported. The new advances in the
neighborhood Of the hamlet OF Gas
pard, which lies directly east of Mes
sines and between the rivers Lys and
St Yves and east OF the Ploegsteert
wood form a direct menace from both
the north and the south to the i'm
portant town of Warneton and the
road leading eastward toward Co
mines

Artillery Ducls Continue.

The artillery dueis between the Bel
gians and French and the Germans on
various sectors in Belgium, particu-
larly near Steenstraete, Lizerne and
Foesinghe continue undated and
doubtless these regions soon will be
the scenes OF important infantry en-
gagements. From Soissons eastward
there is still no activity by the infan-
try OF the French and Germans but
the guns of both sides are keeping up
Intermittent bombardmcnts.
Along the front in Russia and
Gallcia quietude stil prevails, except
that occasionally the Germans and
Austrian asre making reconnaissance
with small parties, which generally
meet with hard usage at the hands
of the Russians In the Caucasus
region the Kurds have delivered
strong attacks against the Russians,
but all of them were repulsed.

Christmas Gifts for Soldiers
Trench Comfort Packet Com

A campaign to send Christmas pres
ent to every American soldier training
for service in France has been launched

Question of U.Boat
Danger to Troopers
Divides Navy Men
Some Say Submarines VIII
Leave Well-Guarded
Transports Alone

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-There are
two sets of opinion in the War Depe1t-
ment concerning the intentions OF Ger
many respecting submarine attachs
upon American troop transports.
One is that the first casualty hst 70
be received in this country Will be from
troop ship sent down by a German
submarine. The other is that Germany
will not divert her submarines from
their campaign aguinst food and sup
uIv. especially munitions, ships. for two
reasons, the first being desire not 70
stir up such feeling in the United
states as that caused by the destTuc-
ton Of me Maine in Havana haroor
prior 20 the Spanish-American war.
The other is that the military hdVah-
tage 10 Germany in destroying a troop
ship is too slight % warrant the RISK
of U-boats in attacking them.
The troop transports are admittedly
the best guarded yessels crossing the
Atlantic, the conveys being equal IN
the opinion of naval experts TO any as
sembly Of submarines against them.
The German government, az we'll "a
the commanders of the U-boats, ID was
said to-day, is aware OF this fact, and
believes, further, that where one troop
ship might be destroyed, with the al
most certain loss of the attacking sub
marine az the same time and with no

tions when the entire troop movement
from America is considered, the sub
marines may operate with more TO gain

Spain May Arrange
Prisoner Exchange
But Germany Might Find This
More Advantageous Than
United States

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sit is prob
able that in the near future efforts will
be made through the Spanish Embassy
in Berlin to effect an exchange of
American war prisoners in Germany
with German prisoners Of war in the
United States.
There is a military consideration,
however, which may operate TO defeat
desire on the part of some officials
TO effect such an exchange. Germany
is believed TO be short of naval men
and officers, and can less afford 70 lose
them than the United States, and from
military viewpoint German war
prisoner is more valuable TO Germany
II returned than an American prisoner
in Germany might be to this country.

Germans Prepare
For New Thrust
By Haig il, West
Apparently Planning te
Flood Lowlands Around
Ypres

LONDON. Sept. 5.-While the forces
Of the Crown Prince continue vainly TO
batter the French lines on the Aisne
and in the Champagne, signs are in
creasing that renewal OF the Anglo
French offensive in Flanders is imml-
nent.
Coupled with the reports yesterday
that the Germans had ordered a civil
ian evacuation OF .hundred-mile
stretch of territory east OF the Dix
mude-Ypre5 line. apparently in antici-
patton of another great stroke by Hais,
the declaration comes from the Berlin
War Office tonight that the artillery
duel from the coast to the region II
Armentieres has attained greater in
tensity. At the same time British and
French fiers arc carrying out an aerial
offensive on a huge scale against all
the chief points behind the German
lines in Western Flanders. They arc
concentrating on positions within tho
zone reported to have been cleared Of
civilians.
As yet there Is no substantial evil
dence that the Germans contemplate
an immediate withdrawal from the
lpres salient and the surrounding ter
rtory extending from Thourout to
Courtrai. 1t is rather believed that
ant ~, -,
effect of Haig's next drive, has cleared
the ground preparatory to flooding the
lowlands bordering the River Scheldt,
IN the hope of blocking the Allied adj
vance.
At all events, il is manifest that the
Germans are looking forward to the
next Anglo-Frcnch thrust with no great
confidence.
The only infantry operations reported
by General Haig to-day were minor
raids by the enemy on the Flanders
front, one directed against the posi-
tons of Portuguese troops, which
failed. Berlin states that "up 10 the
present time there has been no infan-
try activity" on the Flanders front.
Troops OF tho Crown Prince made
spirited attacks against tho French last
night on the Classmates Plateau, on the
Aisne, and north of the Casque, in the
Champagne. Both were repealed. Tic
Teutons sustained heavy losses. North
east Of the Teton the French carried
out successful local action.
Night and day the aerial forces Of
both sides are struggling now for SUI
premacy before TIE coming big stroka.
The advantage is with the Allies.
During the day eleven German
machines were brought down by French
airmen, and fourteen by the British,
who lost seven machines. Destructive
raids were carried out against Bruges,
Ghistelles, Roulers and a score of other
points.
German aviators again attacked Brit
ish and French hospitals behind the
lines
