Sand Springs contractors accept,

situation there is said to be well un

In union rlriV the battle is de
clared won. The men feel thai their
demanda are Just and (toTnot lake
the charges of iinpntriotlHni serious
ly. They declare that men will be
at work again Monday and ilet.v
having any knowledge that con
tractors of the city have Issued an
ultimatum that they muat go to
Work at the old scale or nut at all.
According to the union leaders,
there are only two plumbers out of
work In the cliy. and their lay
off ha no connection with the new
scale. Carpenter aay that they wi.ll
have all their men working Mon
day. The situation Is In mi way
alarming to the workers, who ex
pect their demand-i to be met with
out opposition. Thev say that liv

necessary if they lire to live and
support their families.
Charges of unpatrlollsm are ve

Ths whole trend of the opera

important railway towns. Th

His enemy since the occupation of

In the meantime the enemy ha
been having a hard time with hi

Hie packed roads leading from Fa

casualties and much confusion,
Hostile pilots who attempted te

respondent Is confident in stating
that not less than 49 Herman planee

to tho ground yesterday along th
sector lying roughly between Wyt

cm hardly be avoided in following
out the method of massed attack
being employed by the enemy, who
must be given credit for showing
great discipline snd sticking power
In the face of terrific punishment
from machine guns and artillery.
Yesterday afternoon a heavy at

succeeded In penetrating the Brit
