AMERICAN AVIATORS
FIGHT AGAINST ODrS

Paris, Aug. S--A patrol of the
Lafayette Escardrille, composed OF
Adjts. Lufbery, Lowell, Willis and
Parsons, engaged six German avla'
tors six miles within the German
lines in Belgium on Sunday. The air
battle was progressing favorably for
the Americans, when six other Ger
man aviators joined in, forcing the
Americans to withdraw before the
superiority of numbers. Although
they had been fighting for some little
time, the quartet got away without
receiving a bullet hole.
A German aviator who had been
attacked by Lufbery was seen Gid
ing down with his propeller stopped.
1t is believed a bullet disabled his
motor.
The weather has cleared and the
members of the Lafayette Escardrille
are anxious to get into action again,
and II is probable their desires will
be granted.

TO THE REPUBLICAN
VOTERS OF OHIO COUNTY

My record as Republican has new
er been broken. Neither by any
party break, nor by false report nor
by my defeat eight years ago. Nor
shall my present defeat, however ac-
complished, hinder me in my course
as a true blue Republican. In my
opinion the Republican Party is big
ger than any man or any SET of men.
I would have been proud of the Re-
publican nomination for Sheriff OF
Ohio County. made straight,
fair, hard fight to win, without fraud
false report, corruption fund, or any
thing else to violate the law or con-
science. 1 have the. confidence to
believe that the people who sup;
ported Mr.. Bratcher and Mr.. Jones
felt honestly justified in so doing.
very gatefully thank my many
friends who stood by me. And
call upon my friends now to join me
in support of the principles of the
Republican Party and it's nominees.
Sincerely,

MEMBERS, FIRE FORESTS
IN ARIZONA.

Globe, Ariz., Aug. S.-Apache In
dams in the Sierra Anchas Mountains
fifty miles northwest of Globe, are on
the warpath and the two largest as
bestos mines in the district have sus-
pended operations, according to a
telephone message summoning help
which was received here at the
Sheriff's Office tonight.
The manager of one of the mines
informed Sheriff Armer that leaders
of the uprising have called out all In
dian mine workers and that they
were completely beyond control.
Deputy Sheriff Dan Armer at the
head of a band of mounted rangers,
departed for the Sierra Anchas at
Z o'clock tonight. but they do not ex-
pect to arrive before tomorrow morn
ing.
A call was issued tonight by the
Sheriff for cowboys to hold them
selves in readiness for duty in event
the rangers are unable to quiet the
Indians.
A forest ranger who made twenty
two miles over rugged mountain
trails to reach telephone, informed
Sheriff Armer that forest fires were
being started in the vicinity of the
mines and that attempts to burn
mine buildings were prevented only
by prompt action of guards.
According to the ranger, two In
dustrial Workers of the World or
ganizers have been active among the
force of $50 Mexicans and Indians
employed in the district. The rang
er's statements were corroborated by
Manager Tiffany, of the mining COM
panies, who telephoned to the Sheriff
from Rice. Ariz.

$4,000 Miners

DISTRICT NO. 10 DECIDES TO
QUIT WHEN IGNORED BY
OPERATORS.

Pineyille, KY, Aug. THE spec
ial wage convention for District 10
reconvened at 10 o'clock this morning
and adjourned at IL o'clock, after
having voted a strike to take effect
at p. m. Aug. IL. Only three
operators met the delegation. The
other operators, more than humid
red in number. composing District 10
refused in any way to recognize the
convention.
District 10 embraces Southeastern
Kentucky and Tennessee and includes
about $4,000 miners, ninety-five per
cent of whom are members of the
United Mine workers of America.
Unless the operators treat with the
Scale Committee this week there will
be a complete tie-up of the union

and a demand for justice with the
solid support of the public which, ii
is said, condemns in no uncertain
terms the unpatriotic stand taken by
the operators in refusing to even dis
cuss "a settlement with the men.

Switzerland is resisting the de-

With the restoration to France of the

of the drain caused by urgent ap-
peals from Italy for fuel.

WILL ASK Death
PENALTY FOR two
DRAFT RESISTERS IN OKLAHOMA
GUILTY OF TREASON is
OFFICIAL VIEW.

Oklahoma City, Aug. S.-Confi-
dence that a majority of the resi-
dents of Central Oklahoma are loyal
to the United States and willing to
do military service despite organized
resistance to the draft on the part OF
a few was expressed tonight by Gov.
Robert l.. Williams, in commenting
on the fact that normal conditions
virtually have been restored in the
counties where three men have been
killed in the efforts to gull opposi-
ton to the draft.
81 did not want to send troops in
there except as a last resort" the
Governor said. ITO let the citizens
themselves put down the trouble was
unassailable proof that as a whole
the people were absolutely loyal and
thoroly amenable to law and order
Fifty more draft resisters were ar
rested today, including two alleged
leaders, doc" Caleb, and man
named Fink. 1t was announced that
Roy Crane, OF Oak Grove, and John
Barnhardt, of Wewoka, said to be
organizer of the Working Class
Union" were two of the men for
whom the Government. will ask the
death penalty on charges OF treason
The rank and file of the men in
volved in the disturbance, most OF
them of the tenant farmer class,
likely will have to face the lessed in
dictment of conspiracy to evade the
draft.
About three hundred men have
been taken into custoday and the
problem of feeding their depend
ents will demand attention in few
days.

These figures mean that aproxi.

CRAFT FACTORY
u. s. WILL ERECT PLANT AT
LEAGUE ISLAND WITHIN
THREE MONTHS.

Washington. Aug. 7.-Construc-
ton of an aircraft factory at the
League Island navy yard, Philadel-
phia, to cost approximately $1,000
900 ard to be completed in 100
days was ordered by Secretary Dan
iels. The plant will employ 1000
workers and will be capable of pro-
ducing "a thousand small planes
yearly.
"In view of the enormous expan-
sion of the aeroplane industry now
being undertaken in the United
States" said the Secretary in an
nouncing his decision, sit was felt
that it was necessary to increase the
Navy Departments facilities along
these lines, not only to 9pable it to
supply a part. at least, of its own
needs, but In order that the private
plants might be relieved of the ex-
detrimental development which they
have hitherto undertaken and turn
their whole attention to the maximum
production of approved types.
The navy's air program is a sep
arate undertaking from the great
$64O, 900. 900 aircraft act. A large
sum for naval aircraft production is
understood to be still available from
recent appropriations, and Mr.. Dan
iels has asked Congress for additional
funds for the purpose which he hopes
will be supplied by the time payment
for the new factory must be made.

Apply For Certain Branches.

The mobilization regulations will
show how the drafted men are to be
assigned. Already the War Depart
ment has received countless applica-
tions from men certain to be called
in the first increment of the draft
forces for assignment to some par
ticular arm or branch of the service.
Where man has been sumoned by
his local board for physical examina-
ton no method exists whereby he
may enlist in the regulars and have
his service count on the home quota
It is probable. however, that some
effort will be made to meet the
wishes of the drafted men in this re-
gard as far as possible when they are
modified. 1t can only be done to
limited extent, as the regulars and
guard as shown by to-day's state
nent. are practically filled up now.

Full War Strength At Once.

The national guard statement
shows that only the number of men
short of the 419,S34 figure, shown
by checking of the muster rolls b.
department commanders, and the re-
lection of any found unfit, will he
taken from the draft forces for the
guard service. The recruiting serv-
ice expects to fill the regular army
to FULL war service tomorrow or
next day, so that there probably will
be a surplus of 10000 or more men
when the full 6S7 900 of the first in
crement of the national army is as
sembled.
1t is regarded as likely that the
mobilization regulations soon to be
issued will show that the surplus of
drafted men is to be used as a re-
cruit reservoir. and that all the men
will be put under training as quick
" as possible. A recruit depot will
be established in France, from which

FLORIDA Is SHY ON
JOBS HELD IN DISTRICT
OF COLUMBIA

Washington. Nov. 9.-Florida poll
ticians will take notice that the State
has not received all of the appoint
ments to which it is entitled in the
departments at Washington. It is
still "shy" 25 appointments which, in
the opinion of the practical politician
is enough to make the judcious
grieve, especially in view of the fact
that the States surrounding the Dis
trict of Columbia and the district it.
self have enormously overdrawn their
quotas.
Florida according to statement
compiled by the civil service commits,
sion is entitled to LAG places in the
departments at Washington and it has
received 121 appointments.
On the other hand the District OF
Columbia has received twenty-eight
times as many appointments as 1t Is
entitled to. The district. under the
apportionment, is entitled to "a an.
pointments and it has actually re.
ceiyed 1881. Maryland is entitled TO
262 appointments and 1t has received
7SO. Virginia is entitlded to 4O1 an.
pointments and it has received 675.
The civil service commission, itself
a stickler of the most uncompromisinp
sort for the upholding of the laws and
regulations, has to admit that in
granting the District of Columbia and
some States quotas vastly in excess
OF the appointment it has side.stepped
the provision of the civil service law
which says:
Appointments to the public service
aforesaid in the department AZ yyasb
ington shall be apportioned among the
several States and territories and tbe
District of Columbia upon the basis
OF population as ascertained at the
last preceding census"
The commission explains the appar.
ent' inequality on many grounds. In
the first place it is so easy to pick nm
competent employees from Washington
city and surrounding country. since
they are constantly making appllca.
'ion ana are within easy reach when
wanted. When there is no eligib,a
