Lewis Cline. secretary si, the

Informed AGJutant General GIBSON
that the county board would refuse
10 respect his order TO The board to

1t will be impossible for the boara 10

planned 20 the adiutaut. The board
does not intend TO take men from
the farms of Tulsa county at this
time wheh ,hey are most needed to
care for the growing crops and look
after the harvests
Why Board Objects,
The opposition of the board grows
ont of an apparent disssiN ina q ~ in
the appOrtiunment Of the quot~~' In
the last cal issued by the adjutant
general in Tulsa county. While the
city board. with more than 5000
registrauts has been asked to fur
nish only IS men, the county with
$500 regislrants has been asked 10
furnish 1853 men. The city board
has a reserve OF class men. while
the county's supply OF class is prac-
tically exhausted. Cline declared.
In view of this situation the
county board members believe that
1t is a discrimination to ask the
county board to take men from the
farms 10 fIi its unusually large
quota while other men in less needed
occupations are available for serv-
ice.
Mr.. Cline told the adjutant that
his board would send as many men
as it could get without taking men
who are absolutely necessary on the
farms. Mlny men will he called who
are in farms, but who are considered
not 70 be essential. but among the
class / reGistrants Of the hoard there
are many men who have many acres
OF crops planted and Mr.. Cline states
that the board will absolutely refuse
to call one OF these men to fill the
quota Of 1853 men.
Board Members Threatened
That the board will be reprimand-
cd bv Provost Marshal Crowder and

word passed TO Mr. Cline by the ad-

as large hostile columns approached,
We retired some distance without mr.
ing q shot The artillery took posi-
ton behind village and began she'll
ing the approaching enemy. A cavalry
patrol galloped across an open field,
the horses covered with foam. We
heard the commander of the patrol tell
= cavalry officer that the enemy were
anproaching from all sides. We quick
iy left the village. The artillery re
NAMED and the cavalry detachments
occupied a position while the cannon
were trained on the enemy. Toward
noon shrapnel shells again began
bursting over our heads, but they ex-
ploded too high in the air to do US any
damage. Yet this served as serious
reminder to US that the enemy kept
right on our heels, a realization Of
which caused our retreat to become a
rout. The numbers who dropped ex-
hausted constantly increased. 1t was
impossible to render them any assist
ance, for there were no more wagons.
Many soldiers used their last atom
Of strength to drag themselves to the
side OF the road. Others fell where
they were marching to be crushed soon
afterward under the horses hoOfs or
the wheels of any vehicle that might
pass. The road was strewn with
equipment thrown away by the sol
dlers. Our detachments had long since
cast aside all unnecessary impedi-
menta.
In this way we proceeded until we
reached forest which was filled with
fugitives. Many Of these had stretched
some sort Of cloth from tree to tree
as q protection from the rain. There
they lay, men, women and children
and old men, some In unspeakable mis-
cry. This fugitives' camp was spread
over the forests to the edge Of the
road and as we passed we could see
che burrows woven into their faces by
the terrible sufferings they had been
through. They looked at US with weary
and saddened eyes. The children
begged for bread. but we had none
FOR ourselves. even though we were
tortured by hunger. The enemy's
shrapneI continued to accompany as.
Scarcely had we passed through the
forest when shrapnel burst in It As q
consequence a camp Of fugitives, now
exposed to trench FIRE, was abandoned
and its numbers sought safety IN the
open fields. Many tried to accompany

MEXICAN BANDITS KILL

posia, in Santa Rosa mountains near
Nuzquiz, Mexico, about $50 miles
south of Eeagle Pass, according to a
telegram received here today. Be-
sides Hillcoat, his wife and son, Jer-
ny, and sister-in-law, Miss G. Lamare,
were killed.
The tragedy occurred in the noun
tain home of the Hillcoat's last Thurs
day, according to the telegram which
was received by G. L. Lamare, brother
of Miss Lamare. The victims were
British subjects.

tack. They made several onslaughts
throughout the day but without sue
cess, for our re-enforcements were
large.
No one realized at this stage Of the
battle that it was the beginning Of a
mnrderous, exhausting struggle for po-
sltlOns.
We were to fight here from the same
trench, month after month, without
gaining territory. The wounded, who
lay in No Mans Land between the
trenches were left to perish.
The French tried to rescue them un-
der the protection of the Geneva flag,
the emblem of the Red Cross, but we
only sneered at them and shot 1t to
bits The impulse to shoot down the
enemy surpassed every human feeling.
The Red Cross flag had lost all Its
value for us when 1t was raised by the
French. Mlstrust was nurtured among
us. We were told that the enemy mis-
used the flag and that we must shoot
down the men that bore 1t.
We repulsed all attacks until they
gradually ceased. We were now able
to fortify our position, which we did
with the greatest care, making 1t as
strong as possible. Half the men re-
NAMED on guard while the other half
deepened and widened the trenches. A
lively fire was maintained continuous
ly by both sides. The losses were very
large. Most of the men killed were
shot through the head, the trench pro-
tecting the remainder Of their bodies.
Firing increased in Intensity as
night fell. Although nothing could be
seen we continued firing all the time
because we thought this would prevent
the enemy from making any attacks.
Through the nights munitions and ma
terial we're brought up and new men
arrived. Great quantities Of sandbags

were sent us, which were filed and
used as protection against bullets.
The pioneers were relieved toward
morning and gathered In farmyard
behind the firing line. The farm had
been spared by the cannon, and even
all the stock remained. This booty
was soon to be consumed. Several
hundred soldiers came and a wild hunt
ensued for ducks, chickens, geese, pig
cons, etc. About five hundred of these
were caught, after which everybody
began cooking. Not far away so cows
and heifers were seized and turned
over to the field kitchens. Hay and
grain were carried away, even the
strawstacks and barns were torn down
and the lumber used for flrewOod. In
few hours a beautiful farm had be-
come ruin and the proprietor beg
gar. / had seen the owner In the
morning, but he had suddenly dlsap-
peared with his wife and children, and
nobody knew where he was.
The next night we were sent into
the trenches again. There was little
to do, so we talked with the men who
had REINFORCED US from the interior
of Germany. They knew absolutely
nothing of our retreat from the Marine
and were astonished when we pictured
to them the events Of the last few
days.
The following morning we left the
trench before daybreak and went into
quarters at Cernay-en-Dormois. We
were billeted in the middle Of the vii
lage in an abandoned house. Our field
kitchens failed to arrive, so we pre-
pared ourselves a meal of fowl and
whatever else we discovered. When
ever anycne espied a chicken there
were twenty men racing for 1t. Toward
evening long provision trains arrived
as well as fresh troops. They went
to the front in long columns and re
lieved the exhausted men.
Soon the whole village was crowded
with soldiers. After a rest of two days
the regular nightly pioneer service was
resumed. Every night we were sent
20 the front-line trenches to build wire
obstacles. The French found us out
BY the noise required to set up the
posts, so that we had fresh losses
almost every night. We completed the
task Of setting up barbed wire entan.
clements in the sector assigned to Us
in about fourteen days. During this
period we rested by day, but at night
we went out regularly. But our rest
