We Helped Take Jerusalem.

Major General F. B. Maurice, chief director of military opera tion of the English war office, in a statement regarding the capt. ure of Jerusalem, says the troops who fought at Gaza drank water from Egypt, pumped thru an American pipe line, and were supplied over a broad gauge railroad laid clear across the 15O miles of the desert, which has defeated almost everybody that tried to conquer Egypt for cen turies. Every ounce of material for the pipe line, the railroad and the other works came from the United States.

AMERICAN BULLETS HIT HARD

The German soldiers armor will not withstand the hard hit
 ting American bullet, it has been shown. A heavy breast plate removed from German prisoner for a test was literally chewed to pieces by machine gun fire after rife bullet fired at a good range had torn hole in the armor as big as a silver dollar. Even the bullets from an automatic pistol did the work.

 Prominent citizens of King man have sent @ party of ex perts to the northern part of Mohave county to examine the oil bearing wound in that local ity, with a view to securing land in the best part of the field. It is the opinion of many oil men that big, productive field will be opened up.

ONE-PIECE STEEL SHIPS.

Once more, here is something
new in shipbuilding. We have be
came accustomed TO the miracle OF
"monolithic" ships, since concrete
came into use as a substitute tor
wood and steel. Now we have what
might be called, after the same high
brow word-pattens. "monochaly-
bic ship-in plain English, vessel
consisting of single plate of steel.
The ship is not made OF cast steel,
by the pouring process, but made
OF steel plates as usual. except that
the plates instead OF being riviteI
together are fused edge TO edge, by
the electric welding process. The
first ship ever built in this way has
Just been launched in England. The
United States shipping board, it IS
said, intends to use the process ex-
perimentally on several standard
10000 ton ships. Ii there is a saw
ing of 70 to 25 per cent in time and
material. as reported, the process
may soon be used on big scale.
Thus science adds one more link
to the new chain of sea-power We
are forging for the kaisers undoing
and the worlds freedom.

READERS AND BOOKS.

The war has made the library
"browsers' nearly extinct. The
leisurely reader who wanders into
the public library to spend an hour
reading at random, picking up new
books or idlng at the fiction shelves
is quite overshadowed by readers OF
another type.
Today people know exactly what
they want, and they usually want 1t
in the shortest time possible. AS
rule they are reading for infor-
nation rather than for simple de-
light. This, OF course, means that
certain kinds of books are in great
er demand than others. The cur
rent war books are quite generally
read The history of other wars
has renewed interest for readers,
and especially wars consciously
fought for liberty. There is, too,
growing interest in constitutional
history.
People today want to know the
development of governmental forms,
OF grca, political and moral move
ments. They are therefore read
ing the declaration OF great states
men, famous speeches and docu-
ments that have marked the politi-
cal progress OF free peoples.
The history OF industry and &c
onomics attracts more attention
than ever before. Along with this,
scientific books are in great demand.
Aviation, submarine development,
electricity. military tactics, the
useful arts and many other subjects |
formerly left to the specialist or
student are commonly called for by |
ordinary readers.
Fiction is still read, of course,
although there has been a notice
able falling off in the demand for it.
All this the Librarians consider 4
line thing. 1t indicates tendency
to more thoughtful reading and in
thinking. and less indul-
gence in idle reading on the part Of
the public. The browser to whom
reading was delightful pastime
now shares the books with a host
OF wide-awake, thinking people
eager to understand themselves,
their government and the world
better.

mobile, and that he can build them
SO that every person who can al
ford an automobile will be able to
own Hornespced FLYER.

MAY BE ESTABLISHED
AT BAKERS REQUEST

Washington, July 24.-Secretary
Baker announced today that on the
reconvening OF congress he would
present with his request for new
appropriations, plans for modifica-
ton of the draft ages, and some
what larger military mobilization.
The plan concerns the mobiliza-
ton OF huge American army Prob
ably upward of 100000 men. No
announcement was made as 20
whether the draft ages are to be
lowered or raised, but it is known
that the prevailing judgment OF
the secretary'S advisers is to lower
them.

cept the gradual tightening and stif-
fening OF the defensive lines.
We know now, or suspect, that
Foch had no army of maneuvre'.
He did the only thing he could do,
with the material at hand. That
Hun advance must have been more
intolerable to him than to any other
man in France. But he endured it.,
with silent patience.
At last his opportunity arrived.
With a million Americans added TO
his forces, and the kaisers army
weakened by the steady drain Of
previous drives, Foch made his
plans and bided his time. His pre-
viouS strategy had lured the enemy
into false sense of security. The
Germans thought he you'd not, or
could not, do more than try to stem
their own advance, as before. Then,
at the strategic moment, Foch
struck like a thunderbolt.
The German drive is stopped. it
seems safe to say that the whole
German offensive which began last
March is ended. The Hun -.rmy
still is big and strong, but not big
and strong enough to work its will
in France and Flanders. Its re-
serves are used up. Its morale has
sunk to low ebb. The prs :.ge
OF its commanders has waned. The
German people. when they learn
how their peace offensive was
will never again dare 10
hope for a victorious end OF the
war.
This glorious result is due 10

other one man. it gives him caor

CHARLEY CARTER MUST
RETURN TO CONGRESS
is ONE OF MOST ACTIVE AND
INFLUENTIAL MEMBERS
OF LOWER HOUSE.

Congressman Charley Carter i;
seeking reelection to the Goth con.
gress from the third Oklahoma
district but because of the stress Ol
war legislation he will not be able
TO come to Oklahoma to take all
active part in the campaign before
the primary on August 6.
Mr.. Carter is seeking the support
OF the Democratic voters entirely
on the record he has made and the
unqualified support he has Civ =, the
war measures proposed by Presi-
dent Wilson, with whom he is in
hearty accord and by whom he is
held in high esteem.
By virtue OF his long and con-
tinuous service in congress, Mr..
Carter has risen to the position of
chairman of the Indian Affairs
Committee, the most important oi
all committees SO far as this section
of Oklahoma is concerned. He has
been able in this place to safeguard
the interests of the indians and to
secure much favorable legislation.
The way Charley looks upon his
chairmanship and the way he is re-
garded by the members of the house
generally is well expressed by an
Oklahoma colleague who told the
Ardmoreite man last April that
Charley Carter would rather be
chairman of the Indian Affairs
Committee than be president and he
is entitled to be proud of the posi-
ton as he is the best chairman OF
the committee from the standpoint
OF ability and authority that con-
gress has ever had.
Mr.. Carter says: Our urgent and
paramount purpose now is winning
the war, and agitation of class feel
ing has no place in crisis like
the present. shall depend for my
denomination upon the will of all
good Democrats who take part in
the primary on August 6. When
elected | shall act fairly and justly
in behalf of my whole constituency
and give my unstinted support to
the president measures necessary
to winning the war.
Here are some OF the reasons why |
Charley Carter should be reelected |
to congress:
AS chairman OF the committee on
Indian Affairs, Charley Carter di-
rected the following accomplish
ments during the present session of
congress:
Per Capita Payment of 5000 to
Choctaws and Chickasaws aggregat-
ing S5,2000OO, which consumes
practically all Choctaw- Chickasaw
tribal funds held in trust by the
Federal government.
The act providing for the sale OF
the Observation-Disclosures coal and
asphalt deposits, which is the last
necessary for a complete
settlement of tribal affairs.
The act vesting Oklahoma courts
with jurisdiction for the deterr ina
ton of heirship and partition for all
Members of the Five Civilized
Tribes.
Transfer of jurisdiction from
W Washington to Muskogee for set
lement and approval of all undiS-
outed claims and agricultural and
,oal leases.
Amendment confining bank de-
oosits of Oklahoma Indian funds
