Sfparlal to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY. June 23 In
granting the 20 cent minimum In
gns rates to the Oklahoma Natural
Gas company, which will affect
some forty distributing plants, the1
corporation commission nas not
losod the case. 'In argument on the
case before the commission the post
tior was taken by the Oklahoma
Natural that rates ultimately would
have to be raised from 20 to 40
cents if extensions contemDlated
were to be made, allowing the 20
cent minimum will not affect the do
mestic consumer. The Oklahoma
Natural Is already at work taking
n Inventory of Its nronertv for the
purpose of" showing Its investment
which will probably be used in fu-
ure for the establishment of higher
rates for all. The policy of the
commission is to consider the re.-
irns on the investment In deter
mining the Justness of a rate
schedule.

DEATH ROLL INCREASES AS
SAMMIEStSPEED UP ACTION
Killed In Action Composed One-Third
of Casualty I.lMt; Specific,
Engagement Unknown.
WASHINGTON. June 2 3 The
steadily Increasing; participation of
American troops in the fighting In
France was sharply marked In to
day's casualties list. Of the 153 men
nand, 62, Including three officers,
were killed in action, the heaviest
death roll from the battle field yet
-made public. .
Probably no particular action is
responsible for the number of killed
but it la an accumulation from tho
five or six sections of tho front
where the Amerlrans are fighting
and from patrol actions aa well aa
from the larger op&rationa llko the
attack yesterday 'iear Chateau
Thierry to rectify the lines. Great
care la exorcised in forwarding the
lists not to reveal the losses In any
particular engagement.
The British tuke similar precau
tions, yet their casualty lists lust
week passed the 30 Olio mark.
During the week, so far as known.
the British were Involved In no major
operations except on, the. Italian
front. A comparison of tho Ameri
can and British lists, however, In
some measure, forms a gauge of the
limited extent to which the United
LStates has as yet been able to bring
its power to bear against the Ger
man Invaders.

LONDON, June 23. Clothing In'
Germany has now become almost as

lin lawyer, that the government
should forthwith enact a law mak
ing It compulsory for the heirs of
dead people or administrators of
their estates to turn over l' the
state all clothing left by the de

on the batlufled and to mortality
caused by the desperate food condi
tions at home, la rising by leaps and
bounds.
After July 15 It will be Illegal for
any hotel, restaurant or other pub

Already his losses are estimated at
180.000 men and the chances of his
