CALLS PEACE TALK SILLY
German Socialist Leader Has Decid-

London, Ian. IAN Exchange Tele.
graph dispatch from The Hague says;
Speaking at Augsburg the German
Socialist leader, Philip Scheidemann,
said 1t vas perfectly foolish for Ger
mans to talk OF making peace accord
ing TO the war map. The war map OF
Europe did not show what Germany
had lost in colonies and shipping. The
only peace possible, he declared, must
be based on the territorial status quo.
1t was enough for German glory to
have withstood the most formidable
coalition in history without breaking
down"

Undoubtedly the best feature ever staged
in the southwest will be the great inter.
national balloon race TO be held on Tuesday
October 0, during the Oklahoma free state
fair at Muskogee. An unlimited supply Of
gas coupled with an equally unlimited sup
ply OF nerve and determination ON the part
of the directors of the fair resulted in the
closing OF the contract by which the great
free state fair will be the starting point Of
this big race, an event which has been held
in foreign countries. The contract was made
with the Aero Club OF America and calls for
start OF at least seven $4,000 cubic feet
balloons, and it is expected that ten will enter
the race, each manned by q pilot Of inter
national reputation.
IL was Muskogee's ability TO furnish gas
in unlimited quantities which proved the
turning point In the negotiations OF landing
this attraction, undoubtedly the greatest that
vii be offered his season. The city of Mus.
kogee has agreed TO furnish the gas. The
first international balloon race was held In
Chicago in 1908. the second at indianapolis,
the third in Peoria, the fourth in st. Louis.
the fifth in indianapolis, the next three in
Kansas City, the next In Colorado Springs,
and one was held In Muskogee last year.
Two have also been held in Stuttgart, Ger
many, and Paris, France. Undoubtedly this
attraction means great success for the Okla
