New Gloves For Fall Wear

The glove situation is still tense owing to the
shortage of raw materials in fabrics; kid and lamb

skin importations to very great extent. These
conditions necessarily will make Silk Gloves most
popular. Fortunately we have bought our stocks
we'll in advance and we are offering choice assert

Nothing has 90 stimulated and in.

was not invited here by attacks upon

Senator Lodge said, declaring no one
can tell where a submarine will
strike.
"As soon as the navy had any
authentic news indicating the pres
ence Of submarines" he added, "they
acted. They have the means to do it."
Citing the fight of the British navy
for four years against the submarine,
Senator Lodge said that with Ameri-

out the dificulty of getting a mother

1T is possible to have a base on
Mexican territory" he said. ''but a
base there cannot be freely used. It
would be extremely dificult to get to

Everybody in the navy has done

Fears Of Upriangs
Between Indians And
Negroes DispelIed

Henryetta, Okla, juno A-Fear Of
a possible uprising amons Indians and
negroes. and those Of mixed Indian
and African blood in the Old Hickory
stamping grounds, was dispelled early
today when the Henryetta company
OF home guards, led by Lieutenant
Ray Wise. returned here with word
that the malcontents had promised to
dispense their bands and would not
attempt any trouble.
Dissatisfaction over the army draft,
the fact that they were forced to buy
wheat flour on the card system, and
that they were made to support vari-
GUS war causes, were said to be the
reasons for the spirit Of discomfort
among the Inhabitants Of the region
made famous by The Crazy Snake re-
bellion Of 1908.
Reports last night that three white
farmers had been slain could not be
confirmed.

4 Wilson Tells Belgians

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-Presi.
dent Wilson sent to King Albert ana
the Belgian people today the follo.O-
ing message upon tho occasion of The
celebration tomorrow of thei,
e'ghty-seventh independence day:
con this day, sacred in the annals
of Belgium, the hearts of my coun-
trymen beat in sympathy with the
Belgian people, with whom we are
linked in the resolutc struggle to
conserve the rights and liberties of
tree communities. Your country has
been torn asunder before by alien
oppression and by attempted domina-
tion, and beneath the soaring blasts
OF oppression has learned to prize
and develop the qualities that stimu-
late true-hearted people to assume
among the powers that high place
that rightly belongs to free and in
dependent nations.
II join with my countrymen in ex-
tending to your majesty and to the
people of Belgium, who have so
nobly given their lives and treasure
for the safeguarding of national
freedom and equal justice, heartfelt
greetings on this auspicious day, in
the confidence that it presages for
reenfranchised Belgium still
greater and more glorious place in
the proud annals of human achieve
ment in the paths of liberty"
