of Accident; Weapon Falls
and Discharges.

"What in the world Is the matter,
Herrod?"
Captain, my gun fell out of the
scabbard and shot me-" was the re-
Fly of Traffic Sergeant John Herrod
as he tainted into the police captains
arms in front of the jail at 1880
o'clock this morning and died a few
minutes later.
The dead man had been engaged In
painting traffic signs at Second and
Main. Captain Wilkerson and Officer

Germans Admit Inability to live IN

COPENHAGEN, Nov. S.-Unwill-

of the British offensive in Flanders is
given by Lieutenant General Won Ar
denne, the military critic off the Ber-
lin Tageblatt who sends from tho
Flanders front graphic picture O.,

No way he says. has been devised TO
prevent the "fire roller" as he terms
the moving barrage. from making
slow and steady gains. He reports
the German losses as heavy If an at
tempt Is made to hold the front line
adds to the speed of the British ad-
vance
1.-THE sufferings of the defenders
in the front line" General Won Ar
denne writes, "composed of shell holes
almost filled with water, are such
that the men must be relieved every
two days instead of every week or
every ten days, as last year. The in
fantry now spends four days on tho
firing line. two In support and two
in reserve. until relieved.
THE German artillery Is so numer-
ically inferior 20 the British that II
is seldom relieved and as IL cannot dig
in owing to the boggy terrain. it must
fire without cover. The conditions In
tho shell holes are such that men
falling into the center OF them are lost
unless assisted. Horses breaking into
the morass are shot because 1t Is inn
possible to extricate them. German
counterattacks can traverse the fire
roller only by small detachments In
sigle file. The loss is slight II the ma
neuyer succeeds"

Not only Germany Is suffering
from the high price of food, but the
other countries contingent as we'll.
BY the way, these other countries,
Holland, Denmark, and Norway, now
are bitterly regretting their 'gener-
csity in selling to Germany. While
1 was passing thru them I heard OF
much dissension because of the
United States embargo on food sup
plies which formerly had been COM
ing in freely and which had been
sold to- Germany thru the neutral
countries at double profits.
There Is no doubt but that Ger
many was "bled" beautifully by the
neutrals in the matter Of food sup
plies. | have heard of hams selling
for $40 ard $50 over the list and other
foods in proportion. 1 know for a
time Germany traded with Holland,
corn for potatoes. giving double for
one. Many Holland people did nor
approve of this trading and at one
time there was danger Of revolution.
In Denmark the people are hun

Of living has cut down the supplies on
many tables. All thru DenY aik now
you can hear the people say how sorry
they are to have sold food to Ger

SCARLET SC0URGE
SOURCE D|VULGED
Epidemic Originated in Rural
Family; Spread Thru
Tulsa by Milk.
DAlRYMAN MAKES DISCOVERY
Sacrifices Business and Turns
in Report; Plague Soon
Can Be Conquered.

The source Of Tulsa's scarlet fever
epidemic has been discovered, all
known cases have been placed under
quarantine, and careful watching ana
observance of this quarantine soon
will stamp out the plague. DIR. 5. De-
Zell Hawley. city health commissioners.
announced last night.
To the quick, skilled and self-sacit-
ficing action of George II. Campbell.
proprietor of'the Hudson dairy. Doc
tor Hawley gives great cerdit for the
early discovery of the source OF the
epidemic, thereby enabling the health
authorities quickly to take the di-
rect steps necessary to stamping out
the disease. Notified by Doctor Haw-
ley that thirty of the forty cases re-
ported had been found to be patrons
of his dairy, Campbell Immediately
started an investigation of his own.
Campbell possesses no cows, but pur-
chases his milk from four country
sources.
Wrecks Own Business.
Taking DR.. NJ. p. Springer with him
yesterday. Mr.. Campbell, a young
graduate of the Kansas Agricultural
and Mechanical college, paid Visit
to the farms from which he secures
his milk supply. At once he discov-
cred a child just recovering from an
illness. Doctor Springer pronounced
il scarlet fever after a diagnosis. The
family said the child had been taken
to Tulsa physician some two weeks
ago when it became i'll and that the
physician had pronounced its ailment
something other than scarlet fever or
any other contagious disease.
After reporting his discovery TO
Doctor Hawley, Mr.. Campbell imme-
6iately discontinued his dairy serv-
ice, destroying more than 500 worth
of milk last night which ha6 been
purchased for this mornings de-
livery.
Soon Can Re Conquered.
"Knowing now whence this cpl
demic has come" said Doctor Hawley
last night, 1--WE can stamp 1t out en-
trely IL everyone will observe stricty
the quarantines. Every one off the
should watch carefully for any sign
of illness among his children. Als)
every home in which there now is
case of scarlet fever should be very
careful in the observance of the quar-
antine, for these are the only ways
new cases can be developed. Espe-
cial care should be taken in every
home where there is scarlet fever or
any other contagious disease. 10 sec
that no milk bottle gets out Of the
house This Is the easiest way In the
world to spread disease"
Incidentally Doctor Hawley sug-
gested that 1t would aid greatly in the
suppression of contagious disease in
Tulsa IL more funds were supplied
for the pudpcse of watching sources OF
food supplies. especially milk.
Only five new cases were reported
yesterday.

ROMANS TOUCHED TO QUICK

LONDON, Nov. 8.-There has been
no cessation In the retreat of the ltal-
ians across the Venetian plains towards
the new line Of defense on which II is
proposed to stand and face the invad-
ing Germans and o-Hungarians.
The larger units OF the Italians are
falling back without molestation. ac-
cording to the Rome official commu-
nication, but considerable fighting has
taken place in the hills of Vittorio and
at other points in the north.
More Prisoners Captured.
The Berlin war office says that on
the middle Tagliamento river, italian
troops were still standing out against
the invaders, were captured. A gem
eral and 1900 additional troops are
reported to have been captured, thus
bringing the total prisoners since the
retreat from the Isonzo began to more
than $50, 900. according to Berlin. 1t
1t asserted also that in excess of 1900
guns, have fallen into the hands of the
Teutonic allies.
The bulk of the Austro- German in
vading forces today presents a main
frontage of about 35 miles back and
along the Tagliamento river. with
reconnaissance parties thrust forward
eight or ten miles west of the river for
the purpose of feeling for the points
Of least resistance. This produces de-
tached engagements but no battle in
force has occurred.
The LivenZe river. to which the
Italian withdrawal is now progress
ing. is only one of a series of success
sive defense parallels. The Italian
army still has in reserve large bodies
of troops which. however, naturally
feel the effects produced by the re-
cent retirement Oh their main body.
Large reinforcements at this moment
therefore would render invaluable as
sistance In the opinion of the military
authorities.
Traditional Boundary Crossed.
The enemy territorial occupation in
eastern Fruili presents sinister as
pect far beyond its military purport.
The Alps heretofore have been the
traditional boundary between the
northern Teutonic and the southern
Latin races. The Austro- Germans
recognize the Alpine boundary except
for Trent and Trieste.
Now for the first time the Teutonic
forces are occupying territory in the
Fruili plains, which are the eastern
most part of Venetia and age-long
possessions of the Latins. Such an
invasion strikes at the very heart Of
the principle of nationality and also
thrusts Teutonic wedge southwark
along the Adriatlc. This brings up
the question of whether Germany will
finally secure territorial lodgment
with ports and naval bases on the
Adriatic. thus realizing her aim to be-
come a Mediterranean as well as a
North sea power. unless the allies turn
them back from Fruilian plains
This would seem to be warning to
the allies that no time Is to be lost in
reinforcing, concentrating and CO
ordinating.
