unanimously adopted this resolu
tion: "No, we will not interfere with
our government to mitigate the
condition of the armistice which

Americans March With Albert
on Return to
RP.FSSEI.S, Friday, Nov. 2T
King Albert entered Brussels this
morning at 10:30 o'clock. He was
accompanied by Queen Kllzabeth,
Princes Leopold and Charles and
Princess Marie Jose.
The royal party entered at the
pone de Flanders and proceeded to
the Place de la Nation, receiving a
ti etiii ndous ovation along the streets.
Filtering the parliament house, King
Allien and his family listened to an
address of welcome. They followed
a review of allied troops which
formed a lino ten miles long.
Flowers were thrown In tho path
of King Albert as the procession
made its way along boulevards lined
for miles with denso throngs. As
this dispatch is being written the
noise of cheering rolls continuously
like thunder across the city. King
Albert and his two sons were on
hoisebark. The crown prince was on
Ins right and was dressed in khaki,
wliiic his younger brother was
Iresed in tho uniform of a midship
man. 1
Tho city is wearing Its gala drees
and tho Influx of thousands during
:eccnt davs has made it Impossible
for all to obtain lodgings Many are
sleeping in public halls and shelteis.
The return of King Albert t Ins
capita! recalls the king's prophecy in
in interview w.'.h The Associated
Press only a few months after t lie
Pelgians. having cherked the firs:
usii oi' the Germans, had been
Iriven from their country. In the

Treasury Post.
WASHINGTON, Nov. JT Wil
liam (1. McAdou'H resignation as
head of the treasury and railroad
administration prix:pltated ilisous
xion today of the Jutnro stutus of
railroads, an Isue which had been
somewhat dormant up tu the pres
ent. Indications "ie that a result
of his retirement would be to throw
into congress und Into public dis
cussion much sooner than other
wise the Ise-uo of whether govern
ment operation is to continue In
definitely, whether this will be ex
tended to government ownership or
w het tier the roads w ill be restored
to private management, with some
sort of federal revision to permit
their continued pooling and unified
operation.
Speculation as to Mr. MV Adoo's suc
cessors, however, took equal rank
with tho discuKSinn of the future
policy toward the railroads.
For the position us secretary of
the treasury, Itepre.sentativo Carter
oiass or irginia, chairman of the
house banking and currency com
mittee. Is known to be under seri
ous consideration. Friends of Mr.
i-ilass say he has a reputation for
neing a close student and construc

anu lor executive ability in a num
ber of private enterprises.
(.(ct'ials Mentioned.
l'or director general of railroads
tner appears to be much more
aouot of the president's -selection
Such men iui MaJ. Gen. George W
uoethals Is wanted, It was stated
toiiay a man w.th executive ability
not closely connected heretofore
with railroad management, who
could view problems from the pub
lic standpoint and at the same time
could direct the staff and organiza
tion already built up by -Mr. Mc-
AQOO.
On thaJnew director general of
railroads. Vsrhoever he may be, will
devolve the task of guiding the
roads through the readjustment
period.
Open the policies of the new rail
director will depend largely whether
the government' shall continue
combing the railroads Into a homo
genous unit or begin the "break
ing up" process in preparation for
resumption of private control. From
the president's selection observers
believe may be determined to a large
degree the attitude of the adminis
tration on the railroads' future.
This is one reason why the pick
ing of a new director general is re
garded as fraught with such un
usual sign.f icance.
MeAdoo May Advocate I'ollcy,
Although Mr. MeAdoo will retire
to private life, his friends say he
has no thought "f refraining from
expressing his ideas on govern
mental policies from time to time,

American Casualties
Total 236,117 When
Armistice Is Signed
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23 Total
casualties in tho American expedi
tionary forces up to the signing
of tho armistice were divided as
follows, General March announced
todav:
Killed and died of wounds 3R,ir-4
Died of disease 14, SI 1
Died of other causes 2.204
Wounded 1 79,625
Prisoners 2. t fi S
Missing 1.H0
Total 23(1.117
Tho American forces In Franco,
General March said, had taken
4 4,000 German prisoners in round
numbers and 1,400 guns. He
lidded that the casualties among
the American forces In northern
Kussla were not severe, contrary
to reports, and that encouraging
accounts of tbe situation of the
forces there had been received.
Movement of troops fri.m France
will be expedited In every way. the
chief of staff said, and he added
that they will not "sneak Into the
country, either."
Dlarusslnir 'he enormous num.
ber of wounded recorded in the
total of casualties announced by
General March, officials said this
included many thousands of men
slightly hurt who did not go to
hospitals anil whose names never
had been reported. Casualties re
ported to the department up to
yestcrdny numbered only a little
over 82,000 and most estimates
of tho probable total when the
armistice was signed have not
been over 100,000.
Long lists are coming In dally
now. however, and the total ex
clusive of tho very slightly wound
ed may go far above previous es
timates. AUTO THEFTS SINCE

With the police department and

in a game of battledore and shuttle

Jjor doing all that can be done to
stop automobile stealing In Tulsa,
the Tulsa Automobile association and
the allied civic clubs are reaching
tha point where other steps may be
taken to combat the auto thief pes
tilence. "We've done our part, talk to the
police." Is met by, "We've done our
part talk to the county attorney,"
and both police and county attorney
have published facta and flguree to
austaln their claims.
The controversy came to a head
Friday when Justice Majiey declared
that prosecution of Kunsell Warner,
a young farmer, arrested recently by
the police on a charge of stealing an
automobile, was tlie victim of a
rrame-up. Arthur Ash, who had been
taken Into cueitody on the auni
charge, created a sensation In the
courtroom when he declared that
Police Captain Wood knew In ad
vance that an automobile waa to be
stolen. Wood, on the wanes- stand.
intimated that he had agreed to use
Ash In an effort tu run down auto
mobile, thieves.
Earlier in the day Mayor Hubbard
submitted to the directors of tlie
namiier or commerce a report
showing what the poller have dono
in the way of apprehending automo
bile thieves and this was followed
uy a suggestion from the chamber
of commerce that tlie courts speed
up their work ill order that defen
dants lield on charges of stealing
automobiles bo given Mpcedy liear
ngs. Friday night the allied civic clubs
took cognizance of the situation aim!
took action looking toward legisla
tion which will make it incumbent
upon the county attorney to file suit
on bonds forfeited by defendants ,n
automobile theft cases. To tins ac
tion, County Attorney iteeves replied
that such a provision la already on
the statute books and that tin- pres
ent law offers plenty of :ncciitivo to
he county attorney to collect for
feitej bonds.
Then Friday night the county at
torney gave out a statement In reply
to the statement of the police depart
ment, In which it was claimed 3ii
defendants hud been turned over
to tho county for prosecution. Of
these, all but two have had hearings.
The records of the Justice courts
were cited to ehow what disposition
had been made, of these cases The
statement contains this paragraph:
"With reference to the .statement of
the police and mayor that they are
discouraged in their efforts to sup
press auto thievery because thievi
weie not prosecuted: they were
turned loose on bond and permitted
to ply their trade again." I wish to
'ay that the records compiled by the
police department and vouched for
as correct by them show that there
have been L14 care stolen since June
I. of the total value of 9 146.07 5. ,
Taking their statement at face vaulc
they have apprehended the thleven
who participated In the' theft of only
il of these cars." .
Thus the game continues and It
is still impossible to secure automo
bile insurance ln Tulsa.
