about Galli-Curei, who aappers at
Oklahoma City October 30, with the
Chicago opera association, in the
Barber of Seyille:"
so great is the demand to hear
Galli-Curci, the new Italian prima
donna, of the Chicago Operation as
sociation, that her second appear
ance in New York last night, drew
to the Lexington theater a vast
throng besieging the doors and beg
ging to be admitted at any price.
Some in the crowd bought occasion
al tickets, which the original holders
were not using, at as high as 420
per cent advance, while a line Of
standees that formed at mid-after-
noon, included many women"
GalliCurci will appear in Oklaho-
ma City in exactly the same cast as
that of her New York engagement.
The opening performance of the op-
era will be "Thais" with Mary Gar.
den in the stellar role
A special block of the best seats
in the house, at the various prices,
has been reserved for Chickasha pat.

YANKS SWIM AS
BOCHE SNIPERS
KEEP GUNS HOT
Doughboys Take Plunge in No
Mans Land, Unafraid of
German Bullets, Says
Preacher.

Paris, Sept 20.-(By mail.)--A
new story Of the American fighting
mans wreckless disregard for dan
ger which it is one of the greatest
problems Of their officers to curb
was brought to Paris recently by
Wilbur M. Wilson, a Baptist clergy
man from Colorado, who went all
tie way from Chateau-Thierry to
F'smes with Pennsylvania regi-
ment in the drive which began in
July
with my own eyes said Mn
Wilson, Il have seen American boys
steal out from the trenches to a
frog pond in No Mans Land, calmly
remove their uniforms and dive into
the cool waters with German snipers
not hundred yards away in their
trenches. The American boy appears
to be absolutely unafraid. The
greater the number of casualties in
his own unit, the greater is his re-
solve to make the Germans pay the
price. His morale increases notice
ably every time a comrade falls with
German bullets in his body.
Mr.. Wilson was in the front lines
for two months, serving in the uni
form of the Y. NJ c. A., one of the
seven organizations in the United
War Work Campaign. Many times,
he says, he drove his truck ahead of
tie field kitchens and furnished hot
drnl s, smokes and sweets to men
who had had nothing to eat for two
daps except their iron ration.

HUNS WOULD REWARD
FLEMISH TRAITORS
By United Press.

By United Press.
Paris, Oct 1-(By mail)--I fol-
lowing out their scheme to German
ize Belgium, the Germans are at
tempting to enlist the sympathies
of the Flemish element in the in
vaded territory and detach them from
the loyal Belgian population
According to information reaching
the Belgian government at Havre,
the latest move in the design is an
attempt to form a Flemish "reich-
swacht" or civil guard, ostensibly
for police duty in the Flemish re-
gion, under command of the Ger
man governor With the assistance
of handful of Flemish traitors, sub
sidized by the German government
and formed into the self-styled
Council of Flanders" the Germans
are trying to recruit more traitors
to Belgium by offering commissions
in the proposed "reichswacht."
The German governor of Belgium
has offered places in the so-called
guard" to Flemish prisoners taken
by the Germans in the early days Of
the war
Although the Belgian government
is certain the invaders will be unable
to make any headway with the
scheme, it is warning the people in
Belgium of the intentions of the
Germans and exposing the German
plan.

HEROES ARE NO
HIT WITH ARMY
GAS OFFICERS
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
With the American Army in
France, Sept. 2O.-(By mail.)-The
gas officer is one man in the Amer
lean army who has not idea Of ro'
mantle heroism. Every one has been
congratulating the chaps who jerked
o!f their masks to do difficult jobs
when the boches were heaving gas
over in volumes, and the French
awarded several boys the "Croix de
Guerre" for their spunk
Now comes the gas officer, taking
all the joy out of being hero in a
gas attack. He says men who take
off gas masks because they cannot
do their work with them ought to be
court martialed instead of croix de
guerred The men will nave to learn
to work and fight in their masks, he
says.
The gas officer hands it to the
boys who work right through with
their gas masks on, because they
stay out of the hospitals. If anyone
gets whiff of gas, the gas officer
thinks that man ought to lie right
down and take care of himself,
which doesn't sound brave or heroic
at all 1t sounds like quitting, the
doughboys say.
But the gas officer points out that
the man who quits and takes care
of himself gets over his gassing in
or 4 hours, and can go back into
service again, whereas the chap who
sticks it out to the last falls exhaust
ed and needs a lot of hospital treat
ment before he is good for work
again. This is how the gas officer
figures the man who quits is a hero.
He says the boches would like to
have doughboys stay in the gas until
they get whiffed good, and move
around a lot until it is all through
their bodies, for that puts a dough
boy out of commission
OF course, the gas officer doesn't
want anyone to be a gutter when
he has an important post to hold,
for he says if the doughboys use
their masks quickly and correctely,
the boches haven't any gas that will
bother seriously
