 URGING ELECTION
 OF REPUBLICANS
Roosevelt and Taft Issue Joint Appeal for the Return of
 Republican Congress.

Former Presidents Roosevelt and Taft have issued joint appeal ad- dressed to the American people, urg- ing on the return of a Republican Congress at the coming elections.
 The statement, which is a lengthy one and the first of it's kind ever composed and signed by two former presidents, said in part, that Presi- dent Wilson had indicated his will ingness to make peace by negotia- tion, but that he has not demanded unconditional surrender of the enemy as he might have done and as the American people demand should be done. The American people should elect Congress that would be in dependent enough to interpret and enforce the will of the people in the matter of a world peace, and not merely to submit to Wilson's un- controlled will.
 It is was not the traditions of the American republic, the state ment said, to give one man un- controlled power, and only Re publican Congress will have the courage to exact a detailed and accurate account of the administra- tion's stewardship of the funds eX- pended in the prosecution of the great war.
 The statement said, in conclusion, that Wilson was elected as a peace president and that the country should be governed by men elected in war time.

NOTED MEDICAL MAN
 HAS USE OF ESTATE

PARIS.-Doctor Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute for Medi- cal Research, of New York, was re- gently seeking a building at Saint Cloud suitable for a laboratory and work shop near certain hospital cen tres. He found the house he wanted in a park full of splendid trees. The "Verger" (Orchard), as the property was called, belonged to Andre Bernheim, who had refused the most tempting offers to rent it on ac- count of the family souvenirs it con- tained and the art treasures.
 When MT. Bernheim heard of Dr. Carrels wish to lease his house he said: "Tell Doctor Carroll that l am greatly flattered at his choice and that the Verger: and it surroundings are at his service"
 When the question of rent was raised, Mir. Bernheim declared, "No No, a scientist owes nothing to any body. It is I who am honored."

ANTI-TANK GUN TAKEN
 BY TANKS IN FRANCE

With the American Forces in France.-A German anti-tank gun was captured recently by the Amer jeans. The weapon had only been in use a short time and the stock and rifle barrel had the appearance of just having come from the fact ory.
 The gun fires but single shot and is of ordinary Mauser model When in action the gun is fired from a bipod mounting, one man doing the shooting. The gun weighs thirty seven pounds, has a length of five and half feet and caliber of 13.4 millimeters.
 German prisoners say the anti-tank gun is at its best at about 220 yards. American officers say the German invention does not compare with the American anti-tank gun in any of it's features that the Amer ican gun can outshoot it.

1RACKLAYERS ARE DRAWING NEAR ID
 END OF ) LINE
Only 1900 Feet of the D Line to
 Be Rallied; Camp 16 Moved Forward.

The steel gang, under Foreman Thomas K. Blakey, who have been averaging about half mile or more of track laid in one working day recently, had reached Station No. 1856 on the evening of October 29th, leaving a short distance of 1900 feet to be covered ere the end of the D line is reached The work of extending the road towards the coal field was sus- pended yesterday and the men were engaged in constructing a permanent siding, extending from Station No. 181SS to 1816S, distance of 200C feet, and just ss soon as this work has been completed the extension of the road will be taken in hand.
 The Brown hoist, which had been engaged in salvage operations on the abandoned road, was taken over to the D line yesterday and utilized for loading camp cars housing the men of camp 16 (tracklaying camp) on to the flat cars, preparatory to their removal to the new location near the end of steel, in the neigh borhood of the new permanent sid ing. The cars went forward this morning and the tracklayers will be in their new campsite tonight
 From the point where the D line converges on the old location, a distance of 5000 feet remain to be covered to reach Billy Lynn's .coal mine, and it is expected that the mine will be reached next week and shipments of coal for the use of the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion in the big power plant will be brought to town.
 Bunkers for the loading of the coal into cars have been constructed at the mine and some of the coal contracted for has already been mined and placed in readiness for loading into the cars.

It had long been recognized that the Turks had a right to prevent any foreign ship of war from pass ing the Dardanelles, and in 1841 a treaty was signed between the five great European powers and the Porte, in which it was laid down that this was not to be permitted. The treaty was confirmed in 1856, the sultan of Turkey, however, re- taining the right to permit certain vessels belonging to foregn govern ments, to pass. By the Berlin treaty of 1878, the duty was again imposed upon the sultan of Turkey to prevent the passage of any foreign ships of war.

TURKISH PEACE l TERMS OUTLINED
Allied Powers May Insist on the Occupation of Turk Territory
 and Passage of Straits.

LONDON.-Commenting editori- ally on the collapse of the Turkish defense and the apparent eagerness of the Ottoman government to make peace with the Allies on almost any terms, the Express thinks that the Allied powers should insist on the Turks permitting a fleet to go thru the Dardanelles and the landing of an adequate force on Turkish soil. The Ottoman government should also be made to give up to the Allies, for punishment, certain per sons who are accused of violating the rules of civilized warfare.

Oklahoma boys are showing the

working reserve. Mr. Farmer reports
that so far, in the state, 5000 boys
have enrolled for farm work this
summer and the enrolments are
coming in fast all the time.
Yesterday at Ninita, Mr.. Farmer
enrolled 2S5 boys in the work. There
was parade, with farm tractor,
as well as different farming imple-
ments, and each boy carried pitch
fork. Enthusiasm came TO it's high
est pitch and the boys enlisted
eagerly, Mr.. Farmer is proud Of the

Tulsa. says Mr. Farmer. should
have at least 500 boys in the farm
work reserve. Already '"there are
2B0, and it is not anticipated there
will be difficulty in Interesting as
many more boys in the work.
Those boys Wishing to onlist ir
the Tulsa section can do so by call
ing on O. S. Burkholder at the Y

by going to the office Of A. l..

This Is the best work a boy can
engage in, from physical stand

time when it needs all the develop

the nation is In such condition, tho
boys can do real service, not only
TO themselves, but to the country
by engaging in farm work
The effect on the mentality Is
beneficial. in more ways than one.
The mind is kept from absorbing
the things that should not be alb
sorbed, a boy is kept away from pool
halls and like places, Boys are urged
to join the reserve. not only from
these reasons. but from reasons OF
pure patriotism.

The tremendous success of the Red
Cross drive the last week had little
effect on the realty market. There
seems to be an increased demand for
houses at prices ranging from $4,000
to $1,000, and no particular section
is demanded. In fact, the building
operations are good in all portions of
the city. We are not pessimistic par
ticularly, but believe during the
months OF June and July there may
be a slight falling Off in demand,
owing to the large amount OF money
required for the excess war profit
tax payable in June, and the extreme
hot weather of July. Everyone is
preparing for d big business in the
fall. Vacant lots appear to take the
lead in fealty deals. Russell & Alb

PROBE
ADVANCES COTTON
Higher ContraRt Values Expected TO
Result and Quotations Show
Sharp lpturn.

NEW ORLEANS, May 25.--Prices
were higher in cotton Today, mainly
as the result of the threatened in
vestigation by the department Of ag-
riculture of differences in prices
between spots and contracts. Shorts
saw in this a new factor in the
situation and one likely to work for
higher contract values; they started
the covering movement on the open
ing and the demand continued strong
until late IN the session when the
active months were AZ to SIS points
up. The close was IA to 81 points
up net As was the case yesterday,
July was the strongest month on the
board
Mill takincs were much larRed
than expected and helped put the
market to higher levels Spots were
quoted unchanged at $2S,75 for
middling. which compared with
$2+S2 as the closing price on July
This discount on contracts is the
course of the criticism now aimed a.
the market.
