'KULTUR" IS DOOMED

German kultur" is great stuff
but it has several serious defects
One Of its main weaknesses. from
the practical point of view, is the
absence of accurate eye-sight. If
the possessors of this boasted
brand Of "kultur" hadn It been
blind as bats they would have re-
allied from the outset that they
couldn't start anything with the
l20,O0O000 people of America
and get away with it. If the
war lords of Germany had not
been completely obsessed by the
idea of their own superiority.
which prompted them to hold all
other peoples in contempt, they
would never have outraged all
the principles of civilization.

wrath of America and all self-re
specting nations. When three mil
hon men that the United States
proposes to put into action by
next summer arrive ON the field.
the finish of kultur" will be in
sight.

CASHING WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS

Don't cash your War Savings
Stamps. " is the admonition of
the Oklahoma War Savings com
mlttec; keep them until matu-
rity and draw full interest.
Reports OF merchants accept
ing War Savings Stamps in pay
ment for merchandise has come
to the attention Of the state w. S.
5. committee, Others have in
dulged in the practice of dis
counting them for cash. This is
not in keeping with the intention
of the thrift movement. the com
mittee asserts and asks that the
practice be discontinued.
War Savings Stamps are not
transferable but they can be cash
ed at any post office. The gov
ernment, however, does not want
you to cash them unless it is alb
Solutely necessary that you do so.
Remember your pledge, " is
the slogan Of the National War
Savings committee. Millions of
persons throughout the United
States signed a pledge on June
2Sth and the government looks
forward to everybody buying
stamps in accordance with their
pledge.

HUNS FLIRT WITH
NEUTRAL SHIPPERS
By United Press.

By United Press.
Copenhagen, August 16.-The Nor
wegian Trade and Shipping Journal
tells how Germany is planning to take
care of her foreign trade after the
war by means of neutral ships, taken
taken over under longtime charters.
The Journal warns Norwegian ship
owners against accepting German pro-
posals of this nature, and publishes
this offer, made by German brok-
erage firm recently to Norwegian
owners:
For some special friends who are
absolutely first class | want some
neutral boats of any size on time

It is said, for instance, that The
average life Of an aviator at the
front is only seven days" Thi,
IS a gross eXaggerati0n.
Figures from the French and
British armies show that the av-
erage length of service of a "pur-
suit aviator" at the front is about
three months, and one-half of
these men are Withdrawn for
physical deterioration and loss Of
nerve. Among observation avia-
4 tors and .bombers the percentage
OF 'wastage' is much smaller.
The war department reports
The probability Of uninterrupt-
ed service for am aviator is about
80 days, but it must be remem-
bercd that less than so per cent
OF the Wastage is due to deaths. F"
The French authorities report
that during 1917 the loss in dead.

months. As a matter of fact be-
cause Of the Improvements in san !
llatlon and hospital service. the
soldiers $ chances Of returning |
from this war are greater than in I
any war in the past. |
Similar stories about danger to
life or limb in our shipyards are
similarly false The emergency \
fleet corporation has established
a Department Of Safety Engineer
ing, and the work of this depart
ment has, reduced the percentage
OF accidents in the shipyards be-
low the average of other indus
Iries OF the same sort The sta
lstics of the department of labor
from 1919 to 1916 gave the acci-
lent rate in shipyards as % per
hollsahd men. The accident rate
\ the Hog Island shipyards for
he month Of May was 6 per
housand men. Moreover, the
government has established a
lealth department in connection
with the ship building to see that
he men are well housed, have adj
quate medical attention and are i
protected from unhealthful con
Iltlons just as the soldiers are t
protected. AS consequence of

SPLENDID DAY FOR FRANCE

Paris, July 23.-GeneroI Gour-

east of Rheims where the Germans
IN their offensive last week were
stopped by a stone wall defense, is
sued the following to his army the
day after the German offensive was
checked:
To the soldiers of the fourth

"On July Ia you crushed the eff

You have the right to be proud,

Correspondence OF 'he Associated Press
bondon, July 17--"An automatic
soldier" is one of the latest develop
ments in weapons of war.
A Danish engineer has recently
taken out patent for an apparatus
to which he has given this name.
1t consists of a steel cylinder nor
mally within larger cylinder, the
whole being sunk into the ground
vertically. Ty means of a mechanism
operated by wireless the inner cylinder
rises to a height of Is inches from
the ground and simultaneously an
automatic rifle mounted on the inner
cylinder. fires 400 shots in any given
direction
The automatic soldier can be con-
trolIed from a central position SONS
four or five miles behind the line of
defense, according to the inventor
They may be seen by the enemy only
when they rise from the ground.
From trials already made it has
oeen shown, SO it is reported. that a
few hundred OF these steel soldiers
can easily defend a position against
infantry attacks. however numerous
the opposing force may be.
They blaze away their 400 shots
without flinching and never retreat.
IN order TO overcome the "Automatics"
they must be destroyed one by one.
