COURT DEFENDANTS
ALLEGE YOUTH is
SELLING MORPHINE

According to evidence adduced in
the police court this morning, there
is a young man or boy selling NOR
phine in the Fourth ward. A suit
of clothing valued at $50 was stolen
from w. II. Glover, a grocer in the
southeast part of the city. Sergeant
Williams and Policeman Ford ar
rested Robert Crisp and VIII Thorn
as and charged them with burglary
Andy Abrams was arrested charged
with concealing stolen property.
Bertha Thomas, wife of Will Thorn
as, was also arrested. All the par
ties are negroes.
Thomas confessed to entering the
house of Mr.. Glover and stealing
the clothing. He said he hid them
in the home of Abrams and that the
latter knew nothing about it. 1t
was Thomas wife who told the po-
lice where TO find the stolen prop
erty.
In telling about taking the suit,
Thomas said he and Crisp went up
toward Glover's store when they
saw the boy they were looking for
coming and each purchased NOR
phine from him, obtaining about 40
grains for which they paid So each,
investing $l.50. He said Crisp then
left and he went and stole the suit.
He insisted Crisp had nothing to do
with it. Thomas and Abrams were
delivered to the county authorities
and Crisp was discharged. Thomas
wife was given twentyfour hours to
get out of the city.

WAR SUMMARY

Severe battles are brewing on the
several fighting fronts. All indica-
tions point to an early resumption
of heavy fighting on the western
line. In Italy the mountain zone is
again the scene of infantry opera
| tionS.
Tension is increasing along the
British front in France, as the Gre
scendo of the German artillery fire
mounts higher and higher. From
Ypres to Rheims the big guns are
buster than they have been for some
days, and the Germans probably are
preparing to react strongly against
the allied nibbling tactics which
cost them important points last
week.
The German command is known
to have large forces in readiness on
the main battle fields of France.
They may strike anywhere on the
200-mile main front, as their COM
munications give them much elias
ticity of movement. 1t is expected
also that the blow, when and where
it does come, will be the mi ghtiest
the enemy can make.
Unconcerned apparently about
the German plans, the French con-
tinue to perfect their defensive po-
sitions between the Aisne and the
Marn. Southeast of the forest of
hn tya
extended their line and have taken
265 prisoners, while north of the
forest 100 Germans were taken in a
small advance near st. Pierre Aigle.
The enemy did not react strongly
and the French hold their new po-
sitions firmly.
Along the line northwest of Cha
teau- Thierry, where the Americans
hold sector, the Germans are re-
ported concentrating troops and
supplies.
Aerial fighting has been severe
near the American lines. 1t is not
unlikely that the Germans plan to
give the Americans a hard blow in
! payment tor the recent American
successes on this front.
West of Brenta, Italy, General
Diaz is preparing for eventualities
by strengthening his line as the
opportunity offers. East of Asiago,
Italian troops have re-occupied the
height of Monte di Valbella, cap
turing 800 prisoners. Strong enemy
attempts to retake the height were
hurled back. Nearer the Brenta the
Italians took thirty prisoners in
gaining a fortified point on Sasso-
Rosso. Vienna says the Italians
were thrown out OF the Austrian
first line on Monte di Valbella and
that further attempts to advance
were checked.

Oklahoma City, July l.-"Cyclone-
proof" Oklahoma City suffers $780,
600 damage last Saturday night from
a 76-mile blow, the most terrific III
the history of this city. A tor
nado funnel came perilously near
touching the vicinity, in the opin-
ion of John P. Slaughter, local fore
caster
Houses were unroofed, light
structures lifted from their founda-
tions, smokestacks toppled, tele-
graph poles dismantled and many
blown over and probably 5000 trees
uprooted within the city and sub
urbs. Insurance men and city Of
ficials agreed the losses may even
exceed $500,0OO.
The Oklahoma City Gas and Elec-
tric company's power plant was dis
abled, and with many crippled cir
cults virtually the entire city re-
NAMED in darkness until sunrise.
The street railway system was part
" out OF commission. A few cars
were able to run OH short trips.
Oil Company's Loss Heavy.
The Southwestern Cotton On
plant was damaged to the extent
of $4,000. The American Brick and
Tile company suffered &o,ooo
loss. Commercial telegraph com
panies place their damages at Slo,-
600. The telephone company's mis-
fortune will reach $4,000, 4OO tele-
phones being out OF commission.
Buildings at the State Fair grounds
valued at $500 were virtually
ruined. Tin roofs, electric signs
and awnings OF every description
were smashed and torn down in all
parts of the city, many windows be
ing blown out, sash and all.
Plate glass windows shattered by

$4,000 on Main street, Grand ave

Philadelphia Telegraph Speaking
at a dinner, Congressman William
C. Houston of Tennessee referred
to the charming fads and toibles OF

the following incident:

were unroofed and numbers OF ga

destrians and motorists TO cover
Crowds just emerging from the
playhouses were at loss Tor shel-

ater was struck by gust of wind
and the rain poured through, drir-
ing out those who had Jagged. Glass
signs and other debris, sent like bull
let's through the streets, made an
exceedingly treacherous path Tor
those caught out.
Big Sign Topples.
The Morris & Co. electric sign
over the Majestic building was
caught by full blast, torn from an
chors in the brick walls and root,
and it toppled over the building and
plunged to the street, seven floors
below. 1t broke high voltage wires
and barely missed crowd standing
on the corner. Live wires dangled
in every direction, producing noise
and light which added peril to life
and limb. Throngs were pushed
away in the business area by police.
The ninth floor of the Skirvln
hotel was a scene of confusion and
embarrassment. Occupants could
not approach to shut the windows
and were blown from their rooms to
the halls in their night clothes.
The Oklahoma Gas and Electric
company's lofty electric shower
withstood the heaviest winds, but
was badly bent. The large sign on
Arnold and Wetherbee's building
was torn from the wall and
crashed to the ground, total loss.
This sign was valued at about ST.
500.
Fair Grounds Damage $500.
Damage approximating %,oU
was done at the grounds OF the OK
lahoma State Fair and Exposition,
east OF the city. The chief loss was
to the Theater building, which
stands Just north OF the main en-
trance. 1t was damaged to the ex-
tent of $1,000. The scenery lott o,
the building was almost completely
DESTROYED. The auditorium proper,
however, was damaged comparative
" little. No wind or tornado in

LACK OF RESERVES
WORRIES GERMANY
Captured Document, Signed
Ludendorff, Confirms
Seriousness.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE. Aug. 24.-The anxiety of
the Germans concerning the deple-
ton of their reserves appears to be
confirmed by a document signed by
Gen. Ludendorff, a copy of which was
captured among other papers during
the recent fighting.
'-The state of our resources in men
and the economic situation in the in
teriory' says the document, ''oblige us
to send back to the fighting forces all
the men of the armed service"
The document prescribes the desti-
nation for all the men of this service
then employed in the rear, and adds
"The high command desires above
everything to restore the infantry re-
serves" ..
Prisoners belonging to forty-ninc
different garrisOns in Germany give
confirmation of the existence of this
man power crisis, showing that the
garrisons had been largely depleted by
calls from the front and that numbers
of others have been gathered up from
the rear who had recuperated.
According 10 such prisoners these
men included mechanics from the
central aviation shops at Adlersdort
near Berlin. and miners from Aix-la-
Chapeile. Some garrisons, it is stat
