TRAINS IN AUSTRIA
ROBBED AS IN EARLY
TIMES IN OKLAHOMA

Vienna, Wednesday. Nov N.-As
illustrative of travelling conditions
in the former Austro-Hungarian en-
pire, the robbery of trains along the
frontier of the various republics is
reported daily. For instance, all the
trunks of an Austrian arriving at
Karlsbad, Bohemia, were stolen in
non-Czech territory on the pretext
that the soldiers were preventing
exit of food. On the other hand,
travellers going from Czech-Slovakia
to Hungary declare the trains are
held up outside of Pressburg and
stripped by the Czechs.
1t is also charged that the head OF
the police at Budapest. who was
sent to take in hand the Hungarian
defense of Pressburg, used his po--
sition to steal from the Czechs, and
from ANYBODY else he arrested, to
the extent of 100000 crowns.

YANKEES To OCCUPY
COBLENz BRlDGEHEAD
EAST OF THE RHINE
ARMY OF OCCUPATION TO
TAKE UP A LINE MORE
THAN 90 MILES LONG

American Army of Occupation,
Monday, Dec. 2.-After their first
nights sleep in Germany, the Amer
ican troops of the army OF occupa-
ton were ready at dawn this morn
ing to resume their march toward
the Rhine. In advancing toward
Coblenz. the American forces are
moving ahead astride the Moselle,
travelling in a northeasterly direction
Across the Rhine the American
army will take up a line little more
than 90 miles in length. 1t will de-
scribe an arc of circle having Cob
LEM as Il center and with radius
eighteen and six-tenths miles in
length.
This circle pivoting upon Coblanz
is the bridgchead which the Germans
conceded in the armistice. The line
leaves the Moselc at point north
west Of Coblenz, swings eastward
through Rahms and Oberlahr and
turns to the south Just beyond Ross
bach. 1t continues through Woel-
fcrlngen. Molsbcrg. Diez, Schon-
bron. Katzenelnbogen and Welter-
9th. and reaches the Rhine again at
Caub.
Along the Rhine, the Americans
will occupy a line about forty-three
miles long. The front will extend a
few miles beyond either end OF the
semi-circle described above, this
overlapping in places the lines of the
British on the left and the French on
the right.
During the advance toward Cob
lenz. the American lines extend
about 20 miles on each side of the
Moselle. The Americans expect to
travel seven to nine miles each
marching day, with a day or two OF
rest intervals. The rest days will
be decided upon by the commenders
as the advance continues. Much
will depend on how the nten and
animals stand the trip and the way
the supply service keeps up with the
troops.

JURORS DRAWN

The grand jury petitloned Tor by
more than 100 citizen taxpayers anC
ordered by Judge w. F. Freeman
to be called in the district court fol
yesterday morning, will not be or
ganized until next Monday.
This morning after the absentee;
had been noted and number eX-
cuscd it was found that only thir-
teen names remained on the list and
some OF these were asking to be let
off. Illness of the jurors themselves
or in their families, appeared to be
the ground of most OF the excuses.
When the list was finally checked
up. those remaining on it and not eX-
excused we're: !. A. Troops, c. G.

The court then ordered the clerk
and the sheriff to Immediately draw
from the box the names OF eleven
Jurors to be in court next Monday,
December 9 at 9 O'Clock in the morn
ing to complete the twenty-tour men
to organize 4 grand jury.
Asked as to the reason OF con-
tinuing the organization OF the
grand Jury until next Monday, Judge
Freeman said:
After allowing for the absentees
and those excused, only thirteen
men of the original drawing for the
grand jury remained and the court
ordered that a full panel OF twenty
four men be made up by drawing
eleven men to make up the twenty
four. The organization OF the grand
Jury was postpond to Monday, Dec.
y, because it is impossible to get
aid from the attorney generals OF
fee until that time and it is de-
sired. by both the court and the
county attorney, that this assistance
from the attorney generals office
be had
When the statement OF Judge
Freeman was shown to the coun-
ty attorney, A. ]. Hardy. he said:
The one hundred or more citizens
who signed that petition asked for
aid from the attorney generals de-
partment and if they want it, it is
to me.
The thirteen men whose names re-
main on the list were excused with
to report next Mon

Baker Tells Committee Policy Has
Been To Make Complete State

Instructed to Forward Names of
Killed First.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Explanation
of the delay in the issuance of army
casualty lists was asked of Secre-
tary Baker today when he appeared
before the senate military commit
tee. Members of the committee said
they were prepared to ask the sec
retary as to the publication to date
of less than los, 900 names out of a
total reported casualties OF more
than 100000.
The committee also expected in
formation as to the war department
policy regarding the order in which
overseas troops are to be returned.
Secretary Baker, appearing before
the senate military committee today
to explain the delay in completing
the publication of American cas-
ualtes overseas, said he thought
most of the unreportes names were
those of men slightly wounded and
would come by mail.
Senators were unable to under
stand why only something more
than 100000 names have been pub
lished, when it has been announced
officially that the casualties num-

every effort consistent with accur-
acy was made to prevent delay, and
that General Pershing had been
urged repeatedly to expedite his lists
sending the names OF the dead first.
The department from the begin
ming Mr.. Baker said. "has never
held up, withheld or delayed giving
out casualty lists. Our policy has
been to give a complete statement
as soon 4 spossible.'
General March, chief OF staff, and
Assistant Secretary Keppel, were
with the secretary. Mr.. Keppel said
the system of obtaining and verify
ing casualty reports in France had
been slow at first, and if it had to be
done over again it probably would
be done differently.
General March, discussing demob-
iliZation, sad General PersninS was
selecting units for the occupational
force of about 1.650,000 men and that
all the other American soldiers in
France would be brought home as
rapidly as shipping could be pro-
vided.
Secretary Baker said many COM
plants had been based upon mis-
and suspicious that
the lists were being held up and
that distress had been caused among
relatives by inaccurate reports in
soldiers private letters. He told in

Vienna, Friday, Nov. 2o.-The dis
integration of the former Austro-

and is accompanied by fighting here

marauding bands. Meanwhile the
food situation in Vienna becomes
more perilous each day.
Czech -Sovak forces are reported
to lave occupied Bodenbach, near
the German frontier, thereby cut

planned to send these stores to Vi

The Czecho-Slovaks have garris-
oned the larger part OF German Bo-
hemia and are said to be pressing
toward the frontiers OF upper Aus-
tria. The rapidity of the CzecnoSlov-
ak advance is illustrated by the re-
port of a woman of Vienna who
went to Raab. so miles southeast
recently and found the town occu-
pied by Czechs.
In the south, the Jugo-Slavs Rave

be German city. Their forces also
have entered the provinces OF Car

In the northeast the Poles con-

the day before, was not the least
of the attractions at dinner.
The farmers gathered at the farm
of Howard Speese, near Speeceville,
There two hogs were on display, one
which had been grain fed, and
weighed 235 pounds, at an expense
of $3.50. The other was turned
loose in a pasture and in the same
length of time, weighed 264, at an
expense of $11.20. One hundred and
sixty days was the length of time
required to fatten the hogs.
The plan of the farm bureau for
increasing pork production is SIM
pie. Instead of feeding the hogs
concentrated grain feed, they are
turned loose in pastures, fed the
green ingredients at a less cost, and
fattened in the same time. Soy
beans, alfalfa and rape make the
ideal hog pasture.
At the farm of Hiram Yeager
some fine cattle were inspected. A
corn experiment at the farm of H.
