MAYOR STARTS FUND
FOR SERVICE FLAG
FOR CARTER COUNTY

Mayor w. K. Roberts has con-
ceivcd the idea OF having a service
flag for Ardmore and Carter coun-
ty. When it is considered what
this county has done in sending its
sons TO war, the magnitude OF the
task at once becomes apparent, but
it is proposed to raise fund suf-
ficient TO make this possible. The
idea is one that will appeal to ev-
cry patriotic citizen. The subject
had no sooner been mentioned than
$50 was subscribed. as follows: Ed
Ramsey, $40: +. |. Ellis. $40: Frank
II. Adams, $40; Mayor W. K. Rob
erts. SO; Judge John l.. Gait. Sl0.
Additional subscriptions will be re-
ceived BY the city clerk and addi-
tions to the fund will be accepted
until it is sufficiently large for the
purpose for which it is intended.

FARMER EXONERATED
FROM SERIOUS CHARGE

John Phipps, charged with abduc-
ton, had a hearing before Justice
Franklin Bourland yesterday after
noon and was discharged. There
were many witnesses in the case and
a large number OF spectators, so
that it became necessary for the
justice to hold his court in the
county courtroom. The stcpmothcr
OF Effie Clements. under IS years
of age, had filed tle complaint. The
little girl had told many different
stories about the occurrence on
which the complaint was based. Tha
evidence disclosed the fact that the
girl had asked Phipps to take her
to her grandmother's place, he re-
siding in that neighborhood, which
was out toward Pooleville. Find
ing her grandmother did not live
there, the girl was left at the home
OF farmer and sent home the next
morning. The man at whose house
she stayed all night testified there
was nothing improper done toward
the girl, and her testimony, even il
supported, would not, in the mind
of the court. have established the
offense charged.

CITY OF SOLSSONS TAKEN
BY VICTORIOUS FRENCH
BAKER PROPOSES
DRAFT AGES Be
18 To 45 YEARS

Washington, Aug. 5.-Secretary
Baker will recommend that the draft
ages be made from Is to As years.
This was announced today by Sem
ator Chamberlain. chairman of the
senate military committee, following
a conference with the secretary.
Senator Chamberlain said the new
army bill embodying these ages had
been completed by Secretary Baker
and would be introduced simultan-
eously i'll both houses OF congress
Monday.
Secretary Baker today announc-
ed that he would recommend to
congress extension OF the draft
ages to a minimum of Is years and
a maximum of 45 years.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman
of the senate military committee,
who first announced the proposed
new draft ages, said the war depart
ment bill for extension OF the mill
tary establishment would be intro
duced in both houses OF congress
Monday.
Senator Chamberlain explained
that under the provisions OF the
bill, men between Is and 2l years
of age would be divided into three
classes, subject to call by the Lresi-
dent i'll such sequence OF years as
he prescribed. The senator added
that the calling of men between the
ages Of 81 and IS would be made by
a similar plan. lie expressed the
opinion, however, that the younger
men--those between Is and 2l-
would be called first, and that it
would not be necessary to call those
between 81 and IS.
Senator Chamberlain said he did
not know just what effect the work
or fight order issued some time ago
by General Crowder would have un-
der the new arrangement.

the Russian social reyolutionists of
the left, includes an explosion at
kiev which resulted in the deaths
OF 200 German soldiers in addition
to the murder OF Field Marshal Won
Eichhorn, the Copenhagen CORES
pondent of the Daily Mail quotes a
leading member of the party as say
ing.
The total number of anti-German
crimes, the social revolutionist said,
was sixty. Muntion works at Odes-
sa, kharkov and elsewhere have
been blown up.
I'm the near future still graver
events will occur. The social revo-
lutionists are prepared to continue
the struggle with Germany to the
last man the CORES pondent was
informed.
Danskoi Ordanzoff, the assassin
of General Eichhorn, was a sailor
before the revolution, the member
said. He was elected to represent the
sailors of Kronstadt and opposed
Premier Kerensky. After the Brest-
Litovsk treaty, which is strongly op-
posed by the social revolutionists of
the left it was decided to combat
the Germans by terrorism.

CON FEDERATE REUNION
TO ATT TRACT THOUSANDS
RAIL RATE OF ONE CENT A
MILE FOR VETERANS
AND FAMILIES

Tulsa, Okla, Aug. 4.--The Tulsa
Confederate Veteran reunion COM
mttee, composed of leading men of
the community, has been engaged
for several weeks in pcrfecting an
organization and raising funds nee
essary for the entertainment OF the
twenty eighth annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans AS
sociation to be held here September
"A to q, inclusive.
w. Tate Brady is chairman of the
general committee and Nathan Bed
lord Forrest general secretary.
Headquarters have ben established
in rooms at Convention Hall and a
corps OF assistants employed to car
ry on the organization work.
1t was decided some weeks ago
to raise 100000 to defray the ex-
penses OF the reunion. In two davs
$4,000 was secured in pledges and
cash.
1t is confidently expected that
100000 persons will attend the Tui-
sa reunion. Last spring some fear
was entertained that the reunion, on
account of pressure OF war inter
ests, could not be held and the
spring date was indefinitely post
poned. The question Of holding the
reunion at a later date was taken
up with heads of the government at
Washington. President Wilson ex-
pressed a desire that the reunion be
held. With his approval, the dates
were fixed for September 24-27, in
elusive.

lieved, encourage large attendance.
Arrangements are u-der way, there
fore, to accommodate 4 crowd Of

President Wilson suggested, if he
did not express the desire, that the
reunion OF the ex-confederates
should be an occasion for patriotic
devotion to the nation while it is at
war with a foreign power. This idea
will be emphasized at the Tulsa re-
union. Resolutions will be adopted
pledging the president the hearty
and undivided support OF the south
ern and southwestern people in win
ming the war.

A Task That Indeed Calls for Com.
mon Sense and Sympathy,

The draft boards began yesterday n
task more difficult and delicate than
even the Job Of picking the men for
the National Army. This is the Sc
lection of the young men in deferred
classification who are now at work on
non-essential things and their trans
fer to essential occupnt ton on the
farms or the railroads, in shlpyards
or munition plants.
Each man who is found to be en-
gagged at something unimportant to
the war will be directed to new and
more useful field Of work unless his
circumstances are such that the trans
fer would entail too much hardship
upon his dependents. Failing to adapt
himself to the industrial needs Of the
nation, he will go into the military
service.
1t is a delicate task for the draft
boards because they must determine
what hardship" would be. They will
do well to follow the advice of the
Provost Marshal General to consider
each case with common sense and
sympathy"
Particularly common sense!
