MUNITION STRIKES IN
ENGLAND GIVE MUCH
WORRY TO GOVERNMENT I

London, July 27-The announce
ment last night of Premier Lloyd
George, that workmen absent from
factories on or after Monday will
be deemed to have voluntarily plac-
ed themselves outside the munitions
industry and that they will become
liable to military service. was issued
too late to reach the bulk of strik-
ers last night. Consequently it was
not generally known i'll the strike
areas.
It was, however, communicated
to the strike leaders at some CEN
tiers by newspaper men to whom
the leaders declared they were con-
fident that the strikers would not
be intimidated or driven to resume
work by the government threat
The leaders added that such a
possibility had been considered fully
beforehand.
No reports reached London last
night of an extension of the strike
and the great bulk of the workers
still remain unaffected. Such i'm
portant centers as London, Man
chester, Leeds. Nottingham and
Huddersfield, for instance remain
cool.
Morning newspapers here COM
ment on the government announce
ment mostly with approval. al
though they recognize the decision
as a grave one.

Registration Shows Gain

The registration books closed last
night. Men were being registered up
to midnight. AS the inspectors were
instructed to turn over the books
TO the election boards in their re-
spective precincts and as no report
will be made to the county registrar
until after the election, it is impos-
sible to arrive at the total register
ed. The registration is, however,
above the average, most of those
registered being young men who
have become of age since the last
general election. Many are transfers
but large numbers OF voters who
have moved into this county and
been here long enough to register,
were among the number.

for Carter county, has called a
meeting OF all producers IN the
Hcaldton field and al relinerS who
are interested, to meet at the Cham
bcr of Commerce rooms Monday al
ternoon at 2 o'clock. Following the
Tulsa meeting and the price tiXed
by the war service committee, 1t
becomes necessary for the producers
of the several districts to get to-
gether and agree upon plan and
a price if they are to present their
claims to the national fuel admin
iStrator in a proper way; II they are
to avoid being forced under fixed
price that will prove detrimental to
them. Mr.. Dunlap urges that there
be full attendance at this meet
ing, that plan may be fully worked
out and a unanimous agreement
reached If possible.

to the necessity of choosing gov
ernor for Oklahoma who can meas
ure up to the standard that will be
required during the term approach
ing. Mr.. Murray's machine gun
like fire of fact and figures regard
ing the war amazed those who were
not familiar with his reputation as
being a storehouse of information
Mr.. Murray's analysis of the duty
of the civilian under present condi-
tions is the recital OF creed OF
Americanism that might well be
carried to every citizen OF the coun-
try.
you owe every dollar, every
ounce of strength, every atom OF
ability to the government and its
noble warriors, and more, you owe
a duty to yourself and to your
neighbor to get ready for that pc
riod which will follow the close OF
the war. America is learning rap
idly lessons of self-denial as well as
patriotism; duty to man as well as
country, and there will be many
problems in the postwar period
Let's get ready for them; let's make
these brave boys of ours under
stand that we mean what we say
when we tell them we are behind
them to the last ditch. 1t is our
duty to make this country safe tor
them and for us when the war closes
and folish, foppish living is not the
way to do it," is perhaps the essence
of his statement.

Helena, Mont, July H.-The an-
thorities of Montana have been fac
ed with a puzzling situation in
rounding up disloyalists, for many
of the persons suspected of being
unpartiotic bore such names as Sui
livan, Murphy, Mulligan and
O'Brien, but instead of being Irish
men were Austrians, Russians, Bull
garians and Turks.
1t was finally discovered that this
situation was brought about many
years ago when thousands OF for
eigners bearing names almost un-
pronouncable were asked by em-
ployment agents at mines, ranches
and railroad yards to adopt Ameri-
can names.
At that time 1rishmen predomi-
mated as leaders of section gangs
and miners and they re-christcned
the workers to match their own
tastes.

Shifting their blows to the south
ern arc of the sector between Sois-
sons and Rheims, the French have
struck the German line at Port-a-
Bison, on the north side of the
Marine and about mile south of the
village of Chatilon. 1t is officially
reported from Paris that the French
lines were advanced at that point.
Further east on the Champagne
sector the troops of General Gour-
aud, by a local operation south of
Montague Sans Nom (mountain
without a name) have pressed for
ward over half mile along front
of almost two miles.
The advance east of Rheims was
seemingly for the purpose of restor-
ing the allied line in that section OF
the battle front. The attack on Port
Binson, however, had another OBJ

early in the week at Marfauz and
Pourcy, northeast OF Chatillon and
south of the western spurs of

success near Chatillon would put
