Recognizing the splendid work Of

what Tulsa patriotic citizens declare
is the most remarkable piece of po-

In full the editorial is as follows;
There will be very little CAM

far as this paper IL concerned, the
only question about any public man

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.--The
German protest against the use OF
shotguns by American troops has
been received at the state depart
ment and an answer soon will be dis
patched.
Shotguns are used by American
troops. II was said today, only as
authorized by the accepted rules OF
war. They are employed in general
police work and in guarding prison
ers, being more desirable for such
work than the high power army rifle
because the firing Of the latter might
result in the death or injury OF per
sons II was not intended to hit.
Germany's, threat Of reprisals Is
not causing any anxiety among
American officials. The Americans
hold one hundred German prisoners
TO every ten Americans in enemy
prison camps.

DRAG NET THROWN OUT.

The recent statute requiring all
persons over sixteen and under fifty
years of age to labor no less than
thirty six hours a week, is going to
be enforced in Ohio county. The
drag net has been thrown out, and al
ready two young men have been
caught in its meshes.
Hurbert Balls and Laws Hays, two
young men of Simmons, have been
summoned to appear in county court
to account for their unemployment.
Additional warrants for vagrancy will
be issued this week. With the coun-
try facing food famine no able
bodied man has moral right to re-
main idle, and the county officials
are determined to see that every one
performs some useful labor. The fact
that the idle man has ample means
for his support will in no way affect
the action of the court in seeing that
everybody goes to work. The hal
cyon days of the loafer are over, at
least for the period Of the war.

and also by Rev. A. d. Litchfeld.
A large body of citizens marched

them god-speed on their perilous
journey. The colored people of Hayti
turned out enmasse to see this the
first batch of colored boys off for

occasions the separations of the boys
and their families and friends was
fearful and touching.
