czERNiN's HEAD 10 TURNED BY
RECENT SUCCESSES IN occU-
PATTON OF RUSSIA.
INDIGNANT OVER ROUMANlA
Central Powers Will Be Influenced
Only BY Display Of Superior
Arms--Peace Talk Ends.

ngton.-American government
officials have abandoned. temporarily
at least, the thought that Austria can
be weaned from Germany and sepa-
rate peace made with her.
Count Czernin, relied upon as q
hopeful prospe tive source for sep
arate peace, Is now the object of con-
demnation in high quarters. One Of
the foremost officials expressed his
surprise and indignation at Czernin's
recent high-handedness toward Rou-
mania. His threat to parcel out part
of Rounania to Hungary, and to break
up the dynasty, If peace were not con-
cluded, was characterized as one of
the most astounding demands one CIV
ilized nation ever made upon another.
News that Roumania had abandoned
the peace negotiations came as no
surprise. The German terms were re-
garded as the naughty demands of a
strong nation with hopelessly help
less nation in its grasp.
The government viewpoint for the
moment Is that Austria's head has
been turned by the Teuton sue
cesses" in the Near East recently. She
has been apparently promised by Ger
many that she shall have part of the
spoils which come out of Russia and
Roumania, and having fed for three
years on promises-and disappoint-
ments-she is manifestly becoming
more brusque and uncompromising to
her weaker neighbOrs.

Washington. Objection by the
French government was at the basis
Of the War Department order against
publication OF home addresses In cas-
ualty lists, Chief of Staff March an.
nounces.
This fact was passed on by Perish
ing and action by the department was
taken at once.
France objected to the form Of the
casualty announcements heretofore
made, March explained, on the ground
that 1t furnished information to the
enemy The French said the system
of mentioning the date Of action and
the cause of death-such as "gassed'
gives the Germans just what they
wanted to know-the result of an at
tack and a basis for knowing what to
do next time. The American plan Of
mentioning the date of action connect
ed the whole thing up for the Ger
mans. Some doubt was left as to
whether the French actually request
ed elimination of home addresses.
4ndfSu dppOdACu W thO PACoo ~ be@en
up Pershing in the matter on the
ground of patriotism. And he pointed
out that France does not publish any
lists, merely having the mayor of a
city or town inform the relatives of
the deceased.
Committee on public information
members still insisted that the lists
now given out would be identified to
a greater or lesser extent In the mems
home towns, and that local papers
would print facts which would give
the enemy as much or more informa-
ton than the old system of publishing
the address from Washington.
Senator New introduced resolu-
tion asking the department to state
the authority upon which 1t acted. but
he could not get consideration OF the
resolution.
The War Department announced
that next of kin would be promptly
notified of casualties and said that
persons with kin whose names were
familiar to those printed in the de-
leted lists could rest assured Of the
safety of their soldier men If they had
no department announcement quickly.

LOCAL LAWYER WINS
AN IMPORTANT SUIT

In Judge Dunbar's court at Galena
yesterday was decided the case Of
the receivership of the Goodeagle Re-
finry Co., against the o. X. Refinery
company and the officers who were
party to the attachment of carload
of oil enroute to the refinery recently.
Al. +. Williams, attorney, Sheriff
Bob Frazier, of Cherokee county and
John Sherman, sheriff of Dickenson
county, were each fined $4,000, the
defendants were ordered to pay the
costs of the action also the demurrage
and whatever costs the Goodeagle
company had suffered by reason Of
| having the refinery shut down.
Garland Biffle of Baxter Springs,
attorney, signed complaint Satur-
LAY for the arrest of Robert Frazier,
sheriff of Cherokee county; John
Sherman, sheriff of Dickenson coun-
ty; ]. F. Springfield, president, and
l.. V. Fox, manager, of the 0. X.
Refinery company. The charge plac-
ed against these men is contempt Of
court for attaching the assets of the
Goodeagle Refinery Company, which
is in the hands of q receiver. Biffle is
the receiver.
In the construction of the Good
eagle refinery, $4,000 worth of ma
terial was purchased from the o. X.
Refinery company. Recently the
Goodeagle refinery was placed in the
hands of receivers because it was un-
lercapitalized, and the only way
money could be raised for its opera
ion was to place it in the hands OF
he receiver. This the court did.
Nearly two months ago the operation
IF the refinery was started and since
has been manufacturing gasoline and
fuel oil.
1t appears that the o. K. Refinery
Company attached two cars of oil
shipped from Oklahoma City to the
Baxter refinery. The cars of oil were
attached at Harrington, Kas.
The papers were served by Sheriff
Sherman of that county, which, Biffle
charges, placed him in contempt of
court. The o. X. Refinery Company
also had an attachment issued against
the refinery at Baxter Springs. Robert
Frazier, sheriff of Cherokee county,
served the papers. Frazier, however,
compelled the o. K. Refinery to in
dcmnify him before he would serve
the papers, it is said.
