Washington, Aug. 13.-The gassing
of the American lighthouse by the
German submarine confirmed the ex-
pectation of naval officers that the
Germans would sooner or later make
some spectacular work on the coast.
They point out that no military ad-
vantage can result from such attacks
as the one against the Smith Island
lighthouse off the North Carolina
coast, but the Germans evidently
hope to terrorize the coast by such
methods. Six men We're injured in
the Smith Island attack, none seri-
ously.

OLD TIMER

TAKE OUT
Famous Yarn Spinner has Moth
in on Blanchard Youth Who
May be Wanted on Bad
Check Charge.

Annanias didn't have thing on
one G. E. Buckner who now reposes
in the Grady county Jail awaiting de
yalopments and who was picked up
on suspicion at Amber by Sheriff Bal
ley ana Jailer Dryden. Investigation
of a million false clues dropped by
Buekner, resulted in the discovery
that he may be wanted at Blanchard
for slipping over brace Of bad
checks.
First off the reel, Buckner gave a
wrong name, and said he was en-
route to his home in Hollis He got
himself all crossed up by attempting
to establish the fact that he had join
ed the army at TT. Worth last March
but had later beer discharged be,
cause Of flat feet He was trans
fer1ed, he said to a Kansas camp, but
couldn't remember the name of the
army post Said he had a soldier
pronounce it for him a dozen times
the other day, but even after that
brand Of drill he could not remember
it.
No he didn't have his transfer pa
pers. He was with the 10th regiment
at Camp Bowie, he said, but couldn't
remember the number of his compa-
ny, the name of his captain or lieu
tenant, or whether the 10th was in
fantry, cavalry, machine gun or quar-
termaster outfit
He was of the firm conviction that
where he made his mistake was in
throwing aside his soldiers uniform
for civilian clothes while he was en-
route to join the navy. His mother
died when he was four years old and
his father passed away when he was
nine, he declared.
Later, he said he had never been
in the army, but still contended that
his home was in Hollis where his
cousin lived He didn't seem to
know a whole lot about the town or
its Inhabitants, but in cross question
ing him, it was discovered that he
was fairly conversant as to condi-
tions at Blanchard. Hodge Bailey,
sheriff. called up a Blanchard bust
ness man and asked if he knew Buck
ner.
Il reckon l ought to know him.
He has handed me two bad checks ."
replied the Blanchard man He said
the lad was not a bad character but
seemed to have gotten in bad lately.
How many bad checks did you
give at Blanchard" was the next
bomb exploded by the sheriff in the
cell Of the wayward party
only two" was the meek reply,
and the prisoner heaved a sigh Of re-
lief as he saw an end to the necessi-
ty of sitting up nights to frame up
large stories to check with those pre-
viously peddled to the unsuspecting
officers.

With the French Armies Afield,
Aug. 13.-The old battle OF the Som
me is on again. The Germans are
entrenched in the well worn lines,
stubbornily holding on and even at
tempting to counter attack. These
efforts however are somewhat feeble
owing to the drubbing they have
been receiving at the hands of the
allies.
The situation is the natural result
of the necessity for bringing up the
French big guns Artillery fire today
began to take the place of machine
gun fire from the Boches. The Huns
are also using quantities of masked
gas.

Representative of Federal Reserve
Bank be Here to Meet with
County Chairmen and
Bankers
BASE AMOUNTS ON
DISTRICT CONDITION
Fifth District is Hard Hit by the
Drouth; Be Covered in Three
Meetings; Lawton, Altus
and Chickasha.

To go over crop conditions in the
Fifth Liberty Loan district of okla
homa with the bankers Liberty Loan
men and members of the council of
defense of the various counties, with
view to fixing equitable quotas for
the next Liberty Loan, is thes pul-
pose of a visit G. A. Davis, special
preventative of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Kansas City is making to
this escetion of Oklahor
His work in the FiIJn District,
comprising eleven counties in the
southwestern portion of Oklahoma
will be completed in three meetings
to be held at Chickasha Lawton and
Altus. The Chickasha meeting will b
held at the court house at three
o'clock Thursday afternoon, at which
time Mr. Davis will meet Liberty
Loan chairmen, bankers and council
of defense chairmen from Grady
Caddo and Stephens counties Sub.
sequent meetings in this district
will be held Friday morning at Law
ten and Friday afternoon at Arus
The visit OF Mr. Davis is the out
growth of a meeting of county Liber-
ty Loan chairmen who met with
District Chairman VIM H. Donahue
at Medicine Park Sunday afternoon.
At that meeting the prospects for
crops in the Fifth District were can
vassed and the decision to ask the
Federal Reserve Bank to send a
representative here to view at first
hand the situation in THE section
that has been hard hit by the drouth.
Mr.. Donahue took the matter up with
headquarters and was advised last
night that Mr.. Davis would be on
the job Thursday.
1t is believed that arrangements
can be made whereby the Liberty
Loan quotas for this district can
be adjusted to suit crop conditions.
'Teh idea advanced at this time is
that the counties favored with good
rains, and as tie result of which
raised good crops, should shoulder
larger quota than the counties
where the farmers and business men
have been hard hit by the shortage
of moisture
In order to get at the very heart
of conditions, the Liberty Loan men,
bankers and defense council chair
men viii bring to the meeting com
pete data on crop and financial
conditions in their respective sec
tions. Where it is found that good
crops have been raised, it is be-
lieved the quota win be hiked to
some extent over the less. fortunate
counties.
Mr. Donahue stated that certain
counties south and west of Grady
have been exceedingly hard hit for
two ayears. He considers that Grady
county is in good shape, when COM
pared with some of the other coun-
ties in the Fifth District. II is a mat
ter of record that last year certain
sections of the Fifth District failed
to raise as much stuff as will be
produced in Grady county this year.
In addition TO that streak of bad
luck, they have again experienced
a summer of heat and drouth this
year, making their plight doubly
hard.
