JEWELLERS OF TULSA
GOUGE DRAFT BOYS
Second Rate Stores Talk Men Into.
Buying Wrist Watches says
Recruiting officer.

II is charged that certain Of the
second rate jewelry dealers in Tulsa
have struck method of protIteer-
ing that is bringing them rich re
turns. II is the proposition Of buy
ing up watches from The drafted
men and selling them wrist watches
in return.
The officer In charge OF the army
recruiting station states that in the
mast week several OF the drafted
bows have asked him II 1t IS an
army requirements that all men wear
wrist watches and dispose OF their
regular time pieces.
1t seems. from reports, that sec
ond-rate jewellers have made 1t a
pra actice TO tell drafted men that the
government would not let them keep
their watches. Then they are said
to buy the watches at a ridiculousiy
low price and sell them a wrist
watch at a high price
That such a thing Is not required
by the army regulations Is denied
eniphatically, The army requires
only that a mans watch shall not
be worn in such manner that the
chain or fob will show on the out
side of the blouse.
It Is only the second-rate and
worse jewelere who are charged
with, this brand of profitcering. That
no reputa BILE ieweler would stoop Ia
the practice is conceded by the re-
cruitlrfg officers.

AFTER SCALP OF
CONGRESSMAN.

Birmingham, Ala, July 3.-Dr. A.
J. Dickinson, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, of Birmingham, one
of the largest churches of the de-
nomination in Alabama, who has
been granted a three months leave
of absence with the understanding
that his resignation becomes effec-
tive October 1, at his request, has
started out on a personal canvass
from house to house throughout
jefferson county, the Ninth Ala
bama District, in his candidacy to
defeat Congressman George Hud-
dleston, incumbent. The present
Congressman is being criticized for
not following President Wilson in
all activities in the war by voting
for measures proposed by the Chief
Executive of the land.

NUMBER Sd
SAYS WAR WILL
END NEXT YEAR.

Knoxville, Tenn, July Lieut..
w. NJ. Mcclure, Jr., son of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. X. Mcclure, $40 Temple
street, and who is now a first lieu
tenant in the artillery, is home visit
ing his parents for week or more
before he takes up his work again
as instructor in Camp Jackson, S.
c.
1t will take till rext spring to Get
all the plans laid for the great OBJ
jective that will finish Germany, he
says, but he declares that there is
not much probability that the war
can last longer than next summer,
Mcclure for five months has been
on the main front directing the fire
of a French rs" battery. AT first
he was put on a quiet sector, as
most of the Others are when they
first 60 in. This was northwest of
Toul in a sector where the lines had
not been changed since the first
four months Of the war.
He was only a second Lieutenant
wheh he went to France and ii was
while he was in the Toul sector that
he was promoted to a first lieuten-
ant.
The American has them all skin
ned, though, when it comes to fight
ine, according to Lieut.. Mcclure.
The English hold on with bulldog
tenacity, the French are good also
at sticking 70 il, but II takes the
American to give the necessary
punch that delivers the goods. The
Americans, he says, do not know
what II is to retreat. The stories
that are given to the American pub
lie about the way in which their
boys brilliantly capture the objec-
tives and the way they 90 on, al
most in spite of orders, is not at all
exaggerated. Nothing can with
stand the Americans. Mcclure says
that he doubts very seriously
where the Americans would retreat
if they were ordered to. 1t is just
like great big football game, the
game that typifes America more
than any other. There is no turn
ing back. Americans have never
turned back and they never will.
The fighting qualities of the Ameri-
cans have astoniShe1 all of Europe.
Some French officers were with
Lieut.. Mcclure when the attack of
Cantigny was made, and they were
astonished and greatly pleased with
the way in which every objective
was taken.

YANKS MAKE WIN
NlNGS ON FOURTH.

One of the most gratifying facts
| In connection with American par.
| ticipation in the war, is the undiS-
lputed one that in no case have
American troops lost in an encoun-
ter with the enemy-the beaStly
Huns. From time to time our
lhoops have been engaged in nib
Filing" on the line, taking here and
there small slices of territory and
Ieapturing men and supplies, until
Epn Independence Day, July 4th, the
"yanks" fighting by the side of the
big fellows from Australia, under
the British flag, nibbled into the Ger
Eman line depth of mile and a
half on a front Of four miles and
took 1900 prisoners This little at
tack was pulled off in special cele-
1bration of the anniversary of the in
dependence of the United States
.of rather, the then thirteen Amer
ican colonies. Ii can be stated in
dis connection that in our Mother"
country, England, the Glorious
Fourth was celebrated with an ear
AestnesS that would have done
credit to the American people them
Selves. 1t would be hard to find in
history parallel caSe-the celebra-
Hon in any country of the annlver-
tary OF its own loss of a most val
liable possession; but Uncle Sam has
come to the rescue of his mother in
be only instance in which her ex-
kterte has been threatened in hun
1redS5f years. So, here's three
Sseefs Tor our brother, Tommy At
4ins, fhe French, our best friend in
me Of need, hence in deed-and
ara Iqind II lavish ear love and
help on the brave Italians, who
have proven so valuable in the
work Of killing Austrians, the dogs"
of the brutal Huns.

Is getting $4,000 for convict labor,
