lunch was served. We are certain
that we express the sentiment of the
entire community when we state that
we are very sorry that Mrs. WIKI left
this vicinity. Mrs. WIKI is one of the
most delightful personalities it has
ever been our pleasure to meet.
Lyle Miller recently made a trip to
Mohall and stayed longer than was
expected. The cause, we understand,
was the beautiful scenery-facial, of
course.
The writer attended the debate in
Bottineau Saturday. The arguments
on both sides were fairly we'll present.
ed. AS for the %oratorical part Mr..
Sandstrom had a shade the best but
Mr.. Stair certainly had the best on
the economic side of the proposition.
The crowd without a doubt was with
Mr.. Stair, altho both sides received a
great deal Of applause. The argu-
ments brought forth by Mr.. Sand
strom are the same things which have
been brought forth many times before
and is an old story to those familiar
with League affairs. These argu-
ments have been answered in the N.
P. Leader in the past. Mr.. Sandstrom
made one statement concerning "cer-
tain elements that believe in free
love-" There can be no doubt as to
whom he was referring when he made
this statement. 1t is indeed very
queer that a man with the intelligence
of Mr.. Sandstrom would make such
a benighted statement as that. Such
an expression is foolish indeed and
we challenge Mr.. Sandstrom or any
one else to prove that this element"
has any such foolish ideas as charged.
It is very queer that anyone could be
so narrow-minded as to believe that
anyone believing in governemnt ow-
nership should necessarily have to be-
lieve in "free love-"

The newspapers are using a great

crop up while the former are allowed

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 22.--The
question of the preference claim as
between the state and n mortgagor
concerning an automobile that has
been confscated where a violation of
the prohibitory laws of the state is
alleged, has been placed before the
district court of Grady county. From
the fact that n similar question has
been passed on by other district and
county courts of the state, with deci-
sions favoring both sides, and that
all questions are covered in cases
now pending in the supreme court, 1t
will be interesting when the final
answer is made by the high court.
1t is the contention of the state in
the Grady county case that the state
has the first right to the vehicle used
in transporting liquor in violation of
the law. The county court there has
already decided that way. The same
position has been taken by the Nc
CLAIM county district court, but county
courts in other counties have held the
other way.
1t is claimed by the states attor-
neys that II mortgage should be
given the preference right to n ma
chine when taken under such circum-
stances 1t would be practically i'm
possible to enforce the liquor law as
to the matter of transportation.

BRISTOW TO LAY PIPE LINE
Inadequate Supply of Gas for Com
mcrcial Purposes Leads TO Move.
Special to The World.

Special to The World.
BRISTOW, Okla. Nov. 22.-The
business men of this city are con
sidering a movement to organize a
company for the purpose of laying a
gas pipe line to the gas fields south
of this city for purely industrial pur-
poses and to let the gNs company,
which has the franchise for the fur
nishing of the gas to the city for do
mestic purposes. continue to serve
the general public. The local com
pany does not get enough gas to the
city for Industrial purposes and this
has been one great drawback to the
development of BriStow's manufacture
ing development and with this big
pipe line laid II is believed by the
commercial club and the business
men that this impediment will be re-
moved.
The future of Bristow depends
upon cheap fuel and to conserve 1t for
this purpose is one of the main OBJ
iects of the forming of this company.
There is plenty of gas in the Bristow
gas field. but the present company
cannot or will not furnish 1t for IN
dustrial purposes in sufficient quanti-
ties to run the contemplated factories.
Ii has been learned that this pipe
line can be laid to the city and in the
city limits when used for manufac-
turing purposes only without in any
way interfering with the rights OF the
present company and the business
men of the city consider that the con-
| serving of the field south OF the city
demands pipe line to the city of
| sufficient size for all purposes along
| a manufacturing standpoint.

The Germans who, at the first at

gagement occurred this morning at

o'clock today that the British made

The British infantry which swarmed
behind the tanks saw the predicament
OF TIER iron friends and deliberately
charged the enemy artillery with rifles
and hand grenades All the guns were
captured and their crews We're killed.
A similar incident occurred at
Frenzy chappelle, northwest of Mar
Going where three guns were stormed
and their crews annihilated. Some
OF the most spectacular work of this
nature fell to the cavalry. The
mounted troops got into Marcoing and
Alasnicres last night and in the latter
town engaged in sanguinary battle
with German infantry. An enemy bat
terry there was giving trouble and IA
squad of horsemen charged the po-
sition, shooting or sabering the entire
gun crew. Another battery at Hu-
milly was taken in similar fashion.

together British forces at the latest
reports have carried their line in this
section northward to the Bapaume-
Cambrai road.
The Germans ran from Ribecourt
with the British close at their heels.
This town is a mass of ruins, partly
on account of shell fire and partly
from lack of repairs. The German
duCouts were left intact.
Tho occupation of Marcoing and
Masnieres was a great stroke for the
British as IL gave them much needed
crossings of the Escault river and
canal. which formed natural bar
rier to the advance from this dlrec-
ton
Cavalry, infantry and tanks were
poured Immediately across these
crossings and proceeded to work to
the northward. Military necessity
procluded the mention of cavalry In
the first dispatches regarding the
present offensive. but it may now be
said .tat the mounted men went into
action at 1880 o'clock of the first
day after the tanks had opened the
way thru the harbed wire. This was
one of the features of the battle In
which General Pershing appeared to
take deep interest while he was at the
front. 1t has been wonderful two
DAYS for the horsemen, who had been
relegated to rear areas of the western
front with few exceptions since early
in the war. Thousands of them nave
been operating over wide area be-
yond the Hindenburg line.
