BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington.-A day or two ago an
order was issued or an intimation was
given that IT was To be issued, that the
recruits Of the new American army
would be taught the British buyonet
drill instead of that which has been
In use In the American armies for II
good many years. The reason is quite
plain.
The lessons of the present war, In
which there has been an immense
amount of hand-to-hsnd fighting, have
taught the British that new feints and
cuts and thrusts with the bayonet-
tipped rifle are an essential to success.
The war Inns brought good many
changes in fighting methods. and the
change In the use of the bayonet has
not been the least of them.
Field guns and the bayonet will
win the war for America and for Its
, allies"
This Is the word frequently spoken
by army men In Washington. OF
course, II takes no thought of the pos
sibility of success of the German sub

ity OF great German naval victory,
FOR these two results, vital from the
German point of view, are considered
SO remote of accomplishment that they

/ II was only few years ago that the
military authorities Of the world came

of offense was becoming obsolete.
There has been complete reversal of

have won many n trench and many n
I hand-to-hand conflict in the open by
the use Of the bayOnet. Bnyonets are
gruesome weapons, but they quickly
put an end To an opponents ambition
to fight if he finds that he Is out

this particular implement of warfare.
When the present war began an
American who had seen service In the
regular army, and who during the time
had been instructor of recruits. said

like the bayonet." The German army
drove It's way into France and there
was comparatively little opportunity
for few weeks to Judge of the COM
paIrltive merits Of the men of the OPP

hand fighting became more common,
and as the British and the French nd
vanced the bayonet came more and
more into use. The prediction Of the
American soldier was borne out. FIRE.

mans do not like the bayonet."
II is only due to an enemy to say
that the German is just as brave ms
any other fighting man. The reason
for his dislike Of the buyonet Is that

individual, but as part Of a machine
He is taught the bayonet exercise, but
the machine-like movement is evident

Two Men Face Task of Find

One out of every hundred of the
900 young men in Tulsa county be-
tween the ages of 21 and 81 years is
facing government charges for alleged
failure to register on June under
the provisions of the military draft
law.
To run down and bring to justice
that one man or, in exact numbers,
those 9S men evading service and
ignoring the registration, is the task
of just two men in Tulsa. The Of
ficials charged with the apprehension
of the ''slackers'' are Deputy United
States Marshal j. J. Moran and his
office lieutenant, Deputy w. n. Ellis.
Not only Tulsa county but all of Okla

entire county are the hunting grounds

effect that several federal sleuths
were to be sent to Tulsa county to
assist in rounding up the draft resist

CORPORATION COMMISSION
MAY QUIZ MINE OWNERS
VIII Seek Proof That Mines Cannot
BE Operated Under Proposed
Prices.

lOUl tAmpbc'I Bulldlng.
OKLAHOMA CITY. Aug "a
Should the operators of coal mines in
Oklahoma actually decide to close
their mines the question may arise as
to whether or not the corporation
commission should assert its jurisdic-
ton over public service corporations
and require officials to show that they
cannot operate under the prices pro-
posed by the president before they are
allowed to close their mines, or per-
hans be allowed higher price for
coal.
emphatic statements have been
made by mine officials that they must
close their mines; that they cannot
operate under such prices that have
been announced. Retail dealers who
say they stocked up their line early
in the season on the suggestion OF
fuel conservists. say they will be
banllrupted If they must sell their
coal in competition to the prices pro-
posed, for their stocks of coal in many
instances cost nearly twice as much
os the price now set at the mouth OF
the mine.
Campbell Russell corporation COM
missioner, believes that IL the COM
mission should be given authority to
do so. the operators would be required
to show the commission In figures
why they could not operate under the
proposed prices.
Just on what basis, however, the
prices as to Oklahoma were fixed. Is
beyond Jack Love, chairman OF the
commission. He believes that records
relative To coal prices based upon the
cost of production the commission
has been able to get in the past af-
forded the best Information obtain
able. However, no. request was ever
made by the federal trade commission
for information from the commission,
says Chairman Love.

TO COST MILLION AND HALF
Suggests That No Specifica-
tions Be Announced Before
Sale of Bond Issue.

Following a recent visit to this city
at the instigation OF Governor Williams
and upon request of the officials of the
Chamber Of Commerce to make a sur
vey and report on the needs of this
county for hard-surface roads, Max L.
Cunningham, state engineer, yesterday
mailed to +. Bee Guthrey. highway
commissioner of the Chamber OF Com
merce. a report in which he outlines
the details of hard-surface roadway
system for the county which VIII cost
approximately SI,5o0,000.
In his report, the state engineer calls
attention to the preent condition of the
roads, and in reference to them, calls
attention to the fact that the county
road maintenance fund is for the sole
purpose of dragging and maintaining
state roads.
Report Lengthy.
The report, which covers some -four
and one-half pages of typewriter mat
ter. is accompanied by a map of the
lines which the state engineer pro
posed should be constructed in the
event the voters of this county are in
favor of bond issue sufficiently large
to cover the cost of building the high
ways.
In beginning his report. the state
engineer refers to the fact that on a
previous occasion he made trip over
Tulsa county roads and found them in
condition which indicated a careful
effort on the part of the former)
county commissioners to keep them
dragged. He continues:

effect Of long, hard summer, but II
was also evident that a careful effort
had been made to maintaiU them. No

THE county road maintenance fund
is derived from the fees paid this de-

and it is specifically set out in the law

and maintaining state roads and that
fund can be used for no other pur-
