At City Jail
Even Police Station Is Not

Burglars in Oklahoma City jus,
naturally have no respect for author
ity-and, evidently. very little for the
police.
Hearken to this:
When Chief Smith went to his Of
flee yesterday morning the door
showed unmistakable prints Of a
burglars jimmy. The door jamb was
partly torn off~nd the door mutilated.
Inside the office several sui,cases OF
whisky and quantity OF morphine
In the safe was several hundred dollar,
IN money. Smith is inclined to think
that the burglar did not succeed in
entering the office as nothing was
taken. A door leading TO room where
coniiscated booze is often temporarily
stored, was also attacked but zppar-
emily not opened. New locks were
placed on the chiefs door thi, morn
ing
The chiefs office Is on the second
floor Of the city jail building. Police
must pass his office door scores OF
times during the night on various mis-
sions, and q burglar to enter the
building would have to pass either the
offices Of the captain and sergeant,
or that of the taller.

PARIS REPORT
If Tue, Germans May Have
Violated Armistice.

PARIS, June 24.-Word OF the
burning Of certain French battle flags
by the Germans has been received
here. Peace conference opinion is ap-
parently unanimous that thi, is a dis
tinct violation Of the peace treaty, in
asmueh as that document stipulated
that the flags should be returned to
France by Germany.
II Is probable that q commission
will be appointed TO consider takins
action in the matter.
Presumably the foregoing refers TO
French bstte flags taken by the Ger
mans in the war Of 1901. Article
245 Of the peace treaty, in the original
draft, stipulated that within six
months after the treaty should take
effect. Germany must restore to
France the trophies, works Of art, etc,
carried from France by the German
authorities in the Franco -Prussian
war, particularly the French flags
taken in the course OF the war Of
1901.

Before the national assembly voted
today to sign the peace terms uneon-
ditionally. fiery appeals in opposition
were made by the democrats and con-
servatives. but they apparently had lit
tie effect. When the vote was called.
all but few members arose to signify
their affirmation Of the governments $
decision to sign. Once the vote was
taken, gloom appeared to descend
upon the assembly. The most vigor-
Gus opponents OF signing were speech
less and seemed to- accept the inevita-
bic with resignation.
Many wild rumor, OF what would
happen when il became known the as
sembly had voted almost unanimously
TO accept the terms gained currency.
One that appeared TO get most sup

German army would resign IL the gov.
