Italy struck suddenly and hard last
week at the Austrian line on the east
crn Asiago plateau. The dashlng Ital-
ians broke through the enemy's posi-
tlons, took some 1900 prisoners and
repulsed all counter-attacks. A day
or so later they attacked again, taking
enemy positions on Col del Rosso and
Col Dechele and finally pushing on to
the capture of Monte Ill Val Bella, n
dominating height. A thousand more
prisoners, many guns and large guam
tItles of supplies were taken. The
Teutonlc resistance to these attacks
was strong, but the Italians, who had
valuable assistance from the French
and British batteries and aviators,
were not to be withstood. This looked
like the beginning Of real offensive
that might develop into drive Of
magnitude, the probable object being
10 drive the enemy back against the
slopes Of the snow-covered Alps.
on the west front there was ever
! increasing artillery activity hut no no
table infantry movements, The much
advertised German offensive still was
delayed, perhaps waiting for internal
troubles to simmer down. The sector
held by the Americans was subjected
TO frequent shelling, and one early
morning trench raid was made there
so that General Pershlng had to repor
u number Of casualties.

tance which, 1t is hoped and believed,
will bring the war 20 an end before
the close of this year. What the pro-

known that this country is about to
use its men and resources on a far
greater scale than has been considered
possible, and that there will be close
cooperation " all the opponents OF

In a message to American farmers,
President Wilson declared the cul-
minatlng crisis of the struggle has
come, and that we must and shall
win. He added that victory or defeat
would be decided this year.
Industrial Germany Mt last seems to
be rising in its strength, demanding
that the war be ended without lndem-
mites and annexations and that the
condition of the proletariat be lmprov-
ed. This Is really the big news of the
past week, for II the hundreds Of thou
sands of striking workmen, backed by
the women of the country, can gain
the support OF a considerable part OF
the German army the autOcrats and
mllitarlsts may be driven from power
or forced to recede greatly from their
pan-German program In order TO re-
tain their hold on the reins of gov
ernment. In Berlin, Hamburg, Kiel
and the Chemnitz Industrial district OF
Saxony work has come to stnndstill
and all over the empire there are
strikes. According to the meager dis
patches from Germany, the soldiers
and strikers fought In the suburbs OF
Berlin and some deaths resulted
though in several instances the sol
liers refused to fire on the people. The
two socialist factions are conducting
the great demonstration, and many o.
their leaders are said to have been ar
rested. Three important newspaper
of Berlin were suppressed. Ministe

CASE BLOWS UP
WHEN WITNESS
SAYS Il LIED
Gets Federal Charge Filed Against
Stephens Man, But Can't Stand
Gaff at Trial.

S. E. Johnson, is years old, from
anywhere, knows now that one has
to play EN- straight from the shout
der with Uncle Sans courts, and
that the u c. commissioners law
milf is no place 10 ser satisfaction
through spite work.
Several days ago Johnson made a
complaint to Dick Worley, deputy
U. S. marshal of Duncan, that man
named Vanderpool had avised him
not to register, saying that no one
should pay any attention to govern
ment orders governing the registra'
tion. He made an affidavit to that
effect, adding that because of this
advice he did not register. So
strong was his talk that he was per
mitted to register on October 5. Al
so, Vanderpool was arrested, charg-
ed with obstructing the draft. He
made bond and was released.
Yesterday afternoon his prelimi-
nary hearing was held before U. S.
Commissioner Speake here. John
son was placed on the witness stand
and told to tell what Vanderpool
had told him The witness did con
siderable squirming in his chair
Finally he said:
Judge, I'll have to confess. I
simply lied on him"
Automatically the case against
Vanderpool blew up higher than the
proverbial kite and was dismissed.
Johnson, however, was nabbed at
once by U. S. Mar1aal Dillon and a
case of perjury filed Also, a COM
plant will be made against him for
not registering on September ~.
He will be taken t0 Muskogee to-
morrow.

Mrs. Blanche Freeman and Mrs. j..
w. Kayser Appointed to Serve
With Local Community Board
Members.
APPROVED BY WAR
INDUSTRIES BOARD
TO Have Voice in Voting on Cues
tions Decided by Body; viii Spe-
ciaize on Positions for Wo-
men Empldyes.

/
Announcement was made today of
the appointment of Mrs. Blanche
Freeman and Mrs. j. w. Kayser as
members of the community labor
board for Chickasha. The appoint
ments have been approved by the
state labor board and by the war in
dustries board at Washington, and
the new members will assume tnen
duties at once.
Full voting power has been grant
ed to the two women members re.
Gently added to the community labor
boards by the employment service
of the department of TABOR. wien
the boards were first established an
order restricted the voting power OF
the women members to questions
concerning women. Criticism and
protests had been coming into the
labor department ever since.
The explanation given by the EN-.
ployment service for restricting the
vote Of women members was that
they wanted them to devote their
entire time and attention to the pro-
blems concerning women. The new
powers of the women members of the
community labor boards include the
decision of questions concerning the
methods of recruiting and dis..:o-
uting labor in the various communi-
ties.
In addition to the appointment of
women to the community labor
boards, the employment service an.
nounces that two women will be
placed on each state advisory board
of the service. Heretofore the state
advisory boards have been compos-
ed of men.
"The demands OF war necessitate
a larger introduction of women into
industry than has ever before been
attempted" said Mrs. Margaretta
Neale, head of the employment SER
vice for women of th5 apartment
of labor. "One lund. Il of the com
munity boards have already appoint
ed women. The first work of the
women on the community labor
boards is to investigate thoroughly
the situation in their communities.
The time may come when we will
have TO recruit woman labor for GER
tain Industries away from their
homes. But for the present the task
is that CT keeping local business
and industries from dying in the alb
sence of the men"

TEXAS TATE NOT
DEAD SAYS WORD
RECEIVED HERE

That Texas Tate, well known box
er who was reported dead in a shoot
ing scrape in Van Buren, Ark, is
very much alive was the statement
of Oscar Dotson, local blacksmith
and grappler today.
Il received a letter from Tate to-
day. It was written since Sunday
and mailed in Camp Travis, Tex,
said Dotson. Tate says there may
have been a Texas Tate killed, but
if so, it is not the original. He is
an athletic director at Travis, and
states that if he ever gets to France
the Germans will think he is alive
and doing well"
