AMSTERDAM, July l4-The ap-
pointment OF ex-Admiral Won Fintle
to the post OF German foreign minis
ter, an event which | .foretold IN a
message from here June 80, has
aroused the wrath Of a great portion
OF the reichstag majority parties TO
even a greater extent that il was
stirred up in the last days of Won
Bethmann- -Hollweg and during the
clumsy, shuffling course of Doctor
Mlchaelis The impudent way in
which the appointment has been made
IS regarded in such circles as intcn-
tlonally provocative
The chancellor went TO headquar-
tiers, it is definitely sta'.d to discuss
almost everything except the political
crisis, and inspired journals ridiculed
the idea Of Kuehlmanns resignation
Won flintIe came TO Berlin and the
Wolff bereau In announcing his ap-
pearance promptly said it had 9th
ing whatever TO do with political mat
tcrs. The inspired Germania as late
as Tuesday afternoon authorltatively
informed its readers that Won Hntze
would be Count vCL Mirabachs sue
ccSsor at Moscow Suspicious having
been lullcd the kakSer, Ludendorii
and the chanc he, cquarieIs s.
crctly arranged thi" challengia' ap-
pOlntmCnt, Tor a very considerable
proportion OF the reichnag left par
ties regarded the appointment as a d.
rect challenge to the people and the
rcithstag
Without a word being whispered 10

head OF parties tbs yiolen, Pan
German is set mp as foreign ,ninistc.

accept the rclchsta" najoritys policy
Il is also regarded as a challer e 10
all those sections who in the countries
allied with Germany are der,at ing an
early peace. Those countries are
plainly told from imperial headquar-
tcrs that they tlu't keep their weary
war wagons hitched TO the Pan-Ger-
man star
News OF Won Kuchlmann's reSpna-
tlon was communicated to the reich
stag by Vice Chancellor Won Payer
and caused considerable corsternati,n
The social democrats declared that
they could not consent to vote fol the
war credit until they knew what the
policy Of the new foreign secretary
would be.

Youths Must Bring
Affidavits on Age
TO Join Army Here

Orders were received at the army re-
c,uitng station from Washington head
quarters this morning that hereafter
any man Between the ages Of lS and 20
who applies for enlistment must have
with him an affidavit from hi, parents
Or legally appointed guardian certifying
the correctness of his age.
The order is the result Of the large
number OF men not giving their ages
correctly They have caused endless
trouble TO recNit'ng stations, draft
boards and to their families in getting
the mistake rccttcd.
Three boys under age have applied
at the local recruiting office this month
and declared that they were eighteen,
the parents later notifying the station
that the BOYS were under age.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
ON THE MARINE. July l5-In the
Gazette des Ardernas, the propaganda
newspaper published by the German
army and dropped into the French
lines, the attitude toward the war oI
Hearst and his newspapers is used IN
an effort TO persuade French soldiers
that Americans will not fight to the
end
The leading article in the latest copy
OF the Gazette headed american I'M
easiness," fills two columns on the
first page and attempts to set forth
that the president has not the whole
hearted support OF the American peo-
pie in the prosecution of the war II
deity fails to state flatly what Hearst
stand is. but laments the fact tho the
censorship hinders the fearst news
papers reaching Europe and expresses
a longing 10 read Just what the Hearst
papers have 20 say about conditions in
america at this time.
{, The article begins:
" "Our American correspondent W ties
10 us; One must not suppose that the
American people in its entirety is as
belicose and as determined to 90 "a
the end as the correspondents OF the
Reuter- and the Havas agencies wish
10 make us believe by their lying dis
patches >"
After going on to say that these cor.
respondents always quote the same
newspapers to prove that America
will fight 10 the end by the side OF
the French and English the Gazette
says;
Never are the great Heart II VS.
papers, only TO point 10 the fact men
toned IN the dispatches, sent TO the
European press
, In the next paragraph the German
propagandist says:
"As for the Hearst newspapers, II is
impossible to know their attitude, for
the good reason that the censorship
prevents their reaching neutral coun-
tries We can only get an idea indi-
rectly, that is from journals Bicn
Peasants, which here and there pick
up phrase from the American or the
Journal for the purpose of denouncing
their ant-Americanism On the con-
trary, other newspapers arrive regu-
iarly. and their timid objections, their
bitter sweet eulogics Of the policies
of the master of the White House can
give us an idea of the criticism in
the journals which have always been
against the war and the ideas Of Mr..
Wilson"

Women Must Become Interested
In Things, Not People, If They
Would Be Business Successes

simply because people interest them
moro than anything else in the world

they use this personal information TO
their own advantage II they are dull
and stupid, they make no use Of Il But
all the same they have the man card
indexed and filed away in the pigeon
holes of their brains.
Wives Have Husbands Numbers.
II would amaze many a husband who
thinks he is pulling the wool over his
dull-eycd wife, and that he has fooled
her into believing that he is dcniigod,
TO know that she has ticketed his every
weakness, and has his number down
to the last figure-that she is perfectly
aware that it is his concet and his
boas,ing that makes men shy of from
him at the club; that the reason he
doesn't get along any better in business
Is because he lacks courage and push.
and that the way his little incompetent
red headed stenographcr holds her JOB
is by telling him what handsome eyes
he has and asking him il he doesn't

On the other hand. men have never
had 10 study women, and they haven't
done it, They have contented them
selves with saying that the feminine sex
was an ungucsSable conundrum, and
letting il 60 at that. The only time a
man ever takes any cognizance OF what
A woman thinks is when she dareS 10
disagree with him. and then he doesn't
Try 10 find out why She thinks Il lie
merely attempts to make her think his
way.
A WOMAN knows her husband down

can tell to dot what he will do unde'
any given circumstance a man has not
even a bowling acquaintance with his

the slightest idea OF which way she
will Jump in any emergency This is a
pity because If men knew women as well
as women know men and if men thought
women as well worth study as women
think men. the two sexes would arrive
at an understanding that would make
for mutual good
Now that under the changed condi-
tions of the world women are no longer
dependent on men for a livelihood. AMI,

a few to the south, the majority being

IN SAPULPA THIS YEAR

Sapulpa, Okla, Dec. 6.-More
than a third OF all the cotton ginned
in Sapulpa this year was destroyed
by the fire which ruined the main
building OF the Sapulpa Compress
Company yesterday afternoon. More
than 5000 bales were lost. The total
estimated loss is $S3000O.
A spectacular feature of the fire
was presented by kites OF white
hot sheet-iron, OF which material
the building was constructed, sent
sailing overhead by stiff breeze.
This is the most disastrous fire
