Oklahoma City Okla, Sept. 26.-
The efforts OF Governor Williams and
the Oklahoma State Council of De-
fense. acting in conjunction with the

in Palestine and st. Quentin in
France.
Latest reports show that the Ser

Indicate that the Bulgarian army is
practically wrecked and complete sue

allies are increasing the pressure and
have already advanced to within two
miles of the city, that seems to be
doomed.
