Tulsa World: The Magnolia well
in p ls9w is cleaning out and will
soon be making considerable oil
again after refusing to flow ior The
last week on account OF the caying
from the 50 or 90 feet OF red beds
which was the formation passed
through, leaving an open hole.
There is much good natural rivalry
between the Psychologists who con-
tend that the pool will extend to-
ward the south and along the creek,
and the geologists who are playing
it toward Walters, or along the big
structure which extends at least six
miles in that direction. The big
companies who have large staff OF
geologists are not taking any
chances and are paying pretty fair
prices for stuff along the creek.
Late news from the Magnolia wei
IN section 22-l-9 west is to the ei-
feet that the well made a flow after
being cleaned out.
The Prosperity well in $50 west
Is still a subject OF much interest
and is making about 20 barrels at

be drilled deeper most any time.

Four Steakless Days
A Week Urged for
Hotels and Cafes

Asks That SO to 100 Items
Be Cut From Menus

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Food
Administration to-day urged all hotels
to adopt table d'hote meals. eliminat
ing as far as possible from their menus
steaks and other beef products re-
CURED for overseas shipment.
John NICE. Bowman. of New York,
who is charge Of the Food Admins
traton's work with public eating
places. has sent the following tele-
gram to his representatives. in every
state:
an view Of the necessity of steady
progress to much sMhp1ified hotel liv-
ing and with the growth of national
demands for food conservation, labor
and thrift generally. it seems to me
that the time has arrived when the
hotels and restaurants of the country
can quite we'll simplify their entire
cuisine by reduction in number Of
items on the menus.
pretend that this can be done authori-
tatively under the law, but believes
the cooperation of the hotels and
restaurants of the United States in
such measures has been so fully and
loyalty given in the past that the sug-
gestions herein contained will be fol-
lowed If the alternative dishes now
offered to customers on each menu can
be greatly reduced it will decrease the
labor required in preparation, the
stocks required in reserve and the
waste arising therefrom. A variation
in menus from day to day will offer in
the end the same variety and secure
the above benefits A casual perusal
of representative menus of leading
hotels would seem to me to indicate
that from fifty to one hundred items
could be eliminated.
During the months of June, July
and August we are extremely anxious
to secure a reduction of fresh beef
consumption in order to maintain the
Allies supply, and we must secure
this without substitution of pork
or poultry, which, while we have
enough for ordinary course of con-
sumption, we are not in position to
provide for additional use as sub
stitutes for beef. We have sup
plies of by-products, such as OK tails,
tongues, livers, kidneys, sweetbreads,
tripe and brains, because only the meat
cuts are being exported. The use of
these could be employed, but more
especially the use Of sea food, vege-
tables and fruit
ct would seem to me possible to
eliminate on the menus steaks and
roast beef, excepting two or three
times weekly.
"Please take this up in your state
at once, and particularly with hotel and
restaurant associations, and formulate
some constructive programme upon the
above lines"

Joseph remained there and was NOR
tally wounded that night, dying soon
aftcrward. His brother was ordered to
tho rear lines with n party of wood
choppers.
The woodchoppers were working
near the cemetery at the time Of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to be palbearers. In the midst Of the
service the chaplain read the name Of
Joseph Ash. The brother, who stood
with barred head in the small group Of
soldier mourners, rceled forward, his
eyes filled with tears and he cx-
claimed, My brother! 0 my brother."
The chaplain, not understanding,
stepped up and placed his arm around
the young mans shoulder, saying, owe
are all brothers, my boy" The soldier
looked at the coffin and shook his head.
"The Germans Wi pay for your
blood, Joel" he said, and then it was
that the chaplain and the others
around him understood and led him
away.

F ormed New Plan
After Two Defeats

His failure was definitely regis
tered in the action of April 20,
when, with thirteen divisions in ac-
ton and eleven in line, he suffered
defeat the magnitude of which I
fear is not yet fully appreciated. 1t
had been preceded by defeat on
the other side of the salient when
Bernhard attempted to reach
Bethune and was completely and
clsastrously thrown back. Under
the effect of these two successive re-
verses the enemy broke off the bat
tie OF Flanders and began to elabo-
rate new plan, which he has now
begun to put into operation.
The full extent of this new plan
we nave no means whatsoever for
Judging. We can only say that on
the analogy of what he has done in
the past after similar long DELAYS
ne has been rearranging everything
fer very large attack in mass and
has been specially training fresh
units for another such manpuvre
as the one he successfully began and
very nearly carried to a conclusion
two months ago.
A change of plan on this scale
means reorganization of everv-
thing from top to bottom. Infinitely
laborious, long continued and verv
heavy staff work with exact prep
aratlon of multitude of detail must
be brought to its last limit of per-
lection before the new throw is tried.

Brief Delay Gives
Slight Advantage

The curb is, as may be imagined.
very f1uctuating one. Four months
is merely the average delay in the
return to the front of men from the
hospital. Bad cases take much
longer, and even in the four months
period there is not constant rate
OF return throughout. You have
flrst the very light cases. from five
to ten per cent of the tota1--coming
back to the lines nearly at once.
Then there is a period of from six
to nine weeks during which the
drain of return falls heavily. This
is the period during which the men
not seriously wounded are being
cured. At the end of this critical
period, which is Of varying length
according to the nature of the fight
ing, the curb takes a rapid rise
again, representing the influx of
great numbers of men whose cure is
now complete. Then comes a period
of a fairly evenly rising period,
during which the graver cases grad
ually and at a pretty regular rate
return to the army at dates which
have been postponed, according to
the gravity or the complication of
their wounds.
1t will be seen from this that a
very brief delay gives you but a
small advantage in the war of re-
cruitment from hospital returns.
and that very prolonged one, such
as four months, would hardly be
worth ones while unless there were
no adverse factors-that is. unless
the delay might be indefinitely pro
longed without this advantage, a
condition which in practice never
occurs. 1t will also be seen that
between these two extremes-after
some such delay, as from six weeks
at least to say nine weeks at most
you get a comparatively sudden and

" so long before beginning
this new attack?
The main cause has been recruit
ment. This is certain. Another
probable cause is the change Of plan
involved by the failure of the enc
my to force a decision in Flanders by
the end of April, and that there has
been a change is amply demon
strated by the location of the new
offensive. There are perhaps sew
eral subsidiary causes Of the delay,
such as the preparation of new ma
terial, the hampering of the German
communications by the Allies supe-
riority in the air, and just possibly,
as has been suggested in the French
press, difficulties of internal disci-
pine and some increase of sickness
among the German troops.
But the main cause of the delay
was the change of plan forced upon
the Germans.
Briefly, what happened to the
Germans was this: First of all, a
check to the main original plan of
separating the French and British
armies. They had week of strik-
ing success, expensive to themselves,
indeed, but also terribly expensive
for us; they took prisoners and
guns, and also masses of material,
but they did not obtain a decision,
and the true war of movement
ceased upon the line where they
were held, which still runs as it ran
seven weeks ago in front of Arras,
just west of Albert, down to Mont
didier, covering Amiens, then more
or less east past Lassigny to Noyon.
The effort in front of Lille, made
at first with comparatively small
forces, led to unexpected success;
the Allied front was broken upon a
sector of not quite twelve miles. The
bridges were, unfortunately, not de-
stroyed across the Lys, and for the
five days April 8 to April IS the
advance, gradually slackening, in
deed, but still maintaining the con-
ditions of the war of movement, was
continued by the Germans.
The enemy seized this sudden and
unexpected opportunity and at
tempted to press for decision in
this new field. He pressed very
hard. His first blow here he deliv-
cred with six divisions, of which
only four were used for the actual
shock, but within the next three
weeks he put in the equivalent of
nearly forty divisions. His object
was to reach the seacoast, destroy
the Allied forces to the east and
north of his thrust, to occupy the
port of Dunkirk, and possibly even
to arrive at Calais, putting out of
action very great portion of the
Allied forces, chiefly British.

The Advantage to
The Allied Side


The other side Of the picture is.
of course, the disadvantage which
he has incurred by his delay. This
takes three forms. The first is the
considerable strain on the civilian
population Of Germany which in
creases rapidly during the last four
months before the harvest. The
next advantage which his opponent
gets Gust as much as the German
does) is recruitment in the way OF
hospital returns coming back and of
young men growing old enough to
be brought into service. Lastly and
much the most important factor is
