LOOKS FOR BIG DRIVE
IN REGION OF SOMME.

LONDON, May 10.--"The bulk OF
the German reserves ID still In the
rear Of the Somme front and II must
be assumed the cnemys big main ef,
fort will DO In that direction" said
representative Of General Felma
Radcliffe, chief director OF military
operations at the war office, IN
summing up the weeks war dsvel,
opmcnts today. 1T Is equailyecer.
tain that he will not discontinue his
attacks In Flanders"
In the period between March 2t
when the German offensive was be,
gun ana April rs the losses OF the
rrench were only one-fourth to one
fifth those OF the British, Gener' 3
hadchries representative add Y
Since April rs nc said there q
been no reason to believe the L
or the French have been any hi
than those OF the British. (ThA
es of the British since Mar
were estimated on May 4 by thd
ish military mission at Washl
at nearly 100000, This inforns
was given out In refutation OF
man propaganda assertions that
French have been bearing the b.
OF the battle.
In considering the course
these battles II must always be r
membered that capture Of any paf
ticular position is not material
factor. Mere geographical gains are
not the main consideration. II Is
rather a question of staying power.
We must look to the end Of the
battle.
while the German gain IN Flen.
ders is important owing TO the har-
rowness Of our front, we must not
Judge by the loss OF one position or
another The end OF the battle will
come when ono side exhausts its
reserves or reaches the end OF its
resources before the other.
The Germans have put in con-
number OF fresh divisions
both in Flanders and on the Somme
front during the last week and this
Is satisfactory TO us for II shows
that we are getting through their
fresh divisions very fast. The
enemy's proximity TO the heights
In Flanders makes II likely that he
will continue his attacks there de-
spite the lack OF success during the
last week"

Tulsa county Republicans will
hold a mass meeting at the court
house at 9 o'clock this afternoon and
appeal to II. H. Rogers 10 become
the partys candidate for governor
OF Oklahoma. Incidentally 80 dele
gates to represent the county at the
state convention at oklahoma City
next "Wednesday will be selected
during the afternoon.
The original idea OF holding a
convention of precinct delegates TO
nominate the delegates for the state
convention was abandoned ir-favor
OF the mass meeting plan for the
reason that the demand for Rogers
lis so strong that the general senti-
ment OF Republicanism of the coun-
ty demands an opportunity to pub
licly request Rogers to head the
party ticket In the state election.
Everybody Wants Rogers.
This became apparent Thursday
night whom the precinct meetings
were held all over the county.
Everywhere the speculation hinged
on the question of whether Mr..
Rogers would consent to make the
race and there was practically no
sentiment for any other candidate.
Republicans In Tulsa county as well
as in every other section of the state
feel that the announcement of Rog-
ers candidacy would give Repuh-
licanism In Oklahoma its brightest
chance for victory in the state cleo
tion and 1t is felt that he will not
refuse TO accept the nomination
which it Is conceded will be offered
him II he is at all inclined to make
the race.
Friends of Mr., Rogers report that
his physical condition Is improved
and that he would be able to do |
iustlce IN the campaign. This !
consideration is all that causes any |
doubt concerning his acceptance OF
the nomination.
A large attendance is expected at |
the afternoon meeting and A. A.
Small, county chairman OF the Re-
publican committee, says that the
for Rogers in all parts
Of the county will bring Republicans
from every precinct in large num-
bers.
Entire Ticket Considered.
While the endeavor to prevail up
on Mr. Rogers to lead the party TO
victory In the state election VIII 'e
the principal effort OF the meeting,
candidates for other offices Will
come In for share of the discus
sion and 1t is expected that the, en-
tire ticket will be considered fully; (
Here again the mass meeting will
he an advantage over the conven-
ton for IT will develop the senu-
ment of the voters OF the whole
county and give the delegates a
definite idea Of the opinions Of
Tulsa county voters concerning the
state ticket.
An idea of the expected attend
lnce at the meeting is given in the
act that there Will be 253 dele-
rates from the city alone. These
we're selected Al the precinct meet
ngs IN the city Thursday nieht ,
Then $50 delegates will attend from
he county--outside the city limits /
Reports Indicate that every delega-
ion will be accompanied by voters
nd particularly large attendance is
from Skiatook and Broken
Lrrow.
