The conference report came into the
house of representatives and was
rushed through with two hours of de-
bate, without having even been read :
went over to the senate and was
rushed through there without one per

CHURCH TURNS DOWN
DARBY RESIGNATION
Popular Minister and Citizen
Not Permitted to Leave
Pastorate Here.

All Tulsa should rejoice today, for
Rev. J. w. Darby, minister and citizen
de luxe is not going to resign his pas
tOrate here.
The congregation Of the First Chris
tian church yesterday morning voted
unanimously to refuse to accept Rev.
erend Darby's resignation. II was a
splendid tribute to the esteem in which
he Is held by the members of his own
church, but II Is not marker to the
popular sentiment of the community.
Ever since the unexpected announce
ment of his resignation was made pub
lie The World has been 'beseeched by
persons in all walks Of life to do some
thing to induce Darby to stay In the
city. As a matter of fact he never
anticipated. leaving the city. Had his
resignation been accepted he proba bly,
would have gone into business. He
has recently turned down more than
one flattering offer in the ministry
that meant bigger field and greater
financial gain.
Reverend Darby is the type of min
lister who means much to the welfare
of the community in which he resides.
Since assuming the pastorate here
something like seven hundred addi-
tons have been made to the church.
Debts have been paid, new and broader
fields Of activity entered and plans are
now well under way for the erection
of splendid new church home. the
old one at Fourth and Boulder having
been sold some time since.
At the time he announced his resig-
nation Reverend Darby offered no ex-
PLANTATION or comment, either to his
congregation or the press. Now that
the congregation has refused to accept
1t no explanation Is needed
Darby is to stay on the job; that
should suffice.

HA|G IS WINNING
BAKER DECLARES
Slowly, But Surely, the Allies
Are Gaining Objective
Points, Secretary Says.
WHILE BRITISH HOLD LINES
Success of Operations Mean
That Huns Must Give Up
Submarine Bases Soon.

WASHINGTON, oct 7.--Decisive
ascendancy for the allies In the su-
preme test OF battle strength now taxi
Ing place on the bloody fields OF
Flanders is claimed by Secretary
Baker In the weekly review OF war
operations issued tonight by the war
department.
While 1t may be premature to assert
that the British war machine has
forced n decision over the Germans.
Mr.. Baker says the victories Of the
past fortnight, threatening the Ger
man submarine bases on the Belgian
coast. are conclusive indications OF
the allies superiority. With favor
able weather. he thinks, these VIC
tories will be repeated and extended.
The review, which is for the week
ended last night, makes no reference
to the American forces I'm France or
to the great preparations for war go-
Ing forward at home.
All Turn to Flanders.
The attention of the world" II
says. rs focused on the titanic strug-
gle now going on In Flanders. The
battle raging there is proving an en-
gagement OF wholly unprecedented
scope and potentiallties.
AT the beginning OF the week. ow-
ing to bad weather. the Germans were
able to launch counterattacks against
the positions recently gained by tho
British. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Germans made use OF smoke
screens. liquid fire and brought into
action an Imposing display of artil-
lery. their attack against the ad-
vanced British lines between the
Tower Hamlets and Polygon wood as
we'll as along the Menin road, their
efforts proved futile.
ut Is significant on the other hand,
that while the British were sustaining
the shock OF German assaults success
fully. they were able to bring suffi-
Client fresh troops In order to launch
another offensive action on an even
larger scale than the preceding one In
the face OF the enemy's onslaught.
Slowly but therefore more irre-
sistibly, the allied drive at the heart
OF the German line In the west il
sweeping onward.
Huns Are Masscd.
1T has been characteristics of the
campaign In Flanders hitherto that
neither belligerent has attained what
we may call a decisive success.
THE Germans have massed their
greatest war strength along this battle
front.
ITO attack them at their strongest
point OF resistance is sound strategy
The defeats inflicted upon them
during the past fortnight are con-
elusive indications of allied supcriori-
". In the light OF past experience II
may be premature TO assert that the
British have succeeded in forcing a
decision. but II may be stated with
emphasis that In no engagement
hitherto has such vlgor. such energy
ana concerted speed of action been
displayed.
The full value of these operations
means that the Belgian coast. with its
numerous submarine bases, will be-
come untenable to the enemy.
Two immediate contributing fac
tors to the ascendr ~~-' 20 - allies
are air control and she'll supply.

ordered the withdrawal Of all the
Peruvian cOnsuls In Germany.
. Thru squalls of rain and under low
hanging clouds, Field Marshal HaiS
is blazing the way with his artillery
for another raid into the German line
in Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
week. the British infantry has kept
to the trenches and shell craters, ex-
cept where forays were called for to
reallgn the new front or counter
attacks were necessary to hold back
weak German attempts to recapture
lost terrain. But the big guns never
ceased their activity and day in and
day out great masses Of steel have
been blasting the German points
which are mapped out for capture
when the new drive is launched. The
Germans are answering the British
fire on various sectors.
Wedge Is Driven.
Particularly heavy is the lombard
Langemarck to Zonnebeke, and espe-
cially to the east of the latter town.
where the wedge of the British has
been pushed in almost within strilt-
ing distance of the Ostend-Lille road.
When the new offensive will be
sprung can not be predicted. Several
days may elapse before Haig has suf-
ficiently pounded the Germans TO war
rant sending his men across No Mans
Land to the objectives assigned to
them for capture, or the process of
vanced to the point where the first
gray streaks of dawn of Monday may
see its commencement.
The army of the German crown
prince In Champagne again has en-
deavored to dent the French line, but
again has failed with considerable
losses in men killed or made prison
ers. The heavy artillery duel con-
tinues along the eastern bank of the
Mouse river in the Verdun sector.
Comparative quiet prevails on the
northern portion Of the front in Rus
sia and along this line to Rumania.
Russians Score.
In Rumania. however. the Russian Ms

and also took seven machine guns.
Under heavy artillery fire the Rus
slams later were compelled to evacu

pulsed several enemy infantry coun-
ter-attacks.
Daily the Italians and Austrians
are engaged in battles for supremacy
on the slopes of Monte San Gabrielle
in the Gorizia sector. In the latest
fight the Italians captured enemy po-
sitions on the northern slopes and
also took prisoners. On several other
sectors of this theater the Austrians
have delivered attacks, but every
where were rspulsed.
