Germans Report Progress.
By United Prest.
Berlin, Oct. R. The official bulletin
Issued by the German war ofrice this

campaign on the Oise quickly enough
to develop and crush the German right
wing. What was left of the German
army would be In a very precarhms
position, and probably large sections
would be detached for desperate, for

ficed In order to gain time for the rest
to escape to their own territory, That
might be the end of the war, If the
allies have self control enough to de
niand moderate terms which Germany
could accept without too great humil
iation. But the defeat of her offen
sive in France would by no means
mean that Germany was helpless. She
could on her own natural defenses or
ganize a stubborn resistance, ana
would undoubtedly do so rather than
consent to the terms which the Lon
don and Petrograd newspapers sug
gest After beating against the Ger
mans' hastily constructed linos along
the Alsne, the French will probably
have little enthusiasm for the task of-

business to continue the war as lomj

combatants, Great ISritain is risking
very few of her men, and she is at
least as well able to bear the financial
strain. Every day that war gives her
fleet excuse to hurry the German mer
chant marine is fine for her commerce
and business is business. So, with
even a crushing German defeat on the
Alsne, there is little hope for immedi

opinion will hold out even when the
French and Russians' have had enough
for terms which Germany could not
accept.
The second possibility is that the
Germans will be forced to relreat from

By United Press,
London, Oct. 3. The official war
press bureau today made public a let
ter which was written by a German
prisoner to his wife. The letter said
In part:
'My company started Into action
with 251 men, but is now reduced to
eight. Not single oPticer is left
alive. Some of our regiments, Includ
ing the test, have been reduced to one
and two uompanies."
Similar other letters are said to be
in the hands of the liritish. The rca-
i for the Inactivity of the German
center Is believed to be tne scarcity
of officers.

REMODEL
HOSPITAL
BUILDING
Plans are complete and work Is un
der war on the new home of the Chick
asha hospitaj, which when completed
will baone of the best ,and most com
fortable hospital plants In the state.
Located at the comer of Choctaw ave
nue and Sixth street, the institution
will be far enough out of the down
town district to insure quiet, yet close
enough to be reached easily and
quickly.
The building was formerly known
as the Choctaw Flats, but a few weeks
ago a dal was closed In which the
property was sold to Drs. Livermore
and Downey with the Idea of remodel
Ingt the structure into a modern hos
pital. The location is Ideal for a hos
pital. It Is situated on the southeast
corner of the block with the length of
the building running east and west,
thus giving the summer breeze a
chance to sweep the entire south side.
Wide verandaB, that are -being made
wider extend the full length of the
north and south sides, giving ample
shade and protection to the rooms.
Plans now being executed call for a
thorough overhauling and remodeling
of the entire building. Especially is
the change noticeable and ocmplete
on the second floor, where will be lo
cated the wards. Every partition on
the second 'floor Is being torn away
and replaced to suit the requirements.
When complete the upper floor will
contain 25 beds. '
Two feet are being added to the
width of the porches on the north and
south and the upper veranda will be
screened in and used in the summer
time as sleeping porches for the pa
tients. From top floor to basement, modern
plumbing and equipment is being in
stalled. The entire building Is being
re-wired for ligJts, electric fans and
an electric biwut! sysieiu. No modern
equipment that will add to the effic
iency of the Institution is being
omitted.
The main entrance will be about the
center of the building on the south
front, where wide, ornamental, glass
paneled doors are being installed. On
the lower floor will be the hospital
parlors, library, offices, the kitchen,
labratory, laundry, consultation room,
X-ray room, and operating room. Also
a suite of rooms is 'being prepared In
which Dr. W. II. Livermore will make
his home.
Steam heat will he installed in every
room. A basement is Deing maue ami
will contain the steam heating and hot
water plant.

ROUMANIA
By United Press.
Bucharest, Oct. 3. As a reward for
participation in the war on the side of
the allies, Russia has offered Rou
mania the Austrian provinces of Bu
kovina and Transylvania.
The offer of the Russians was made
on condition that the entire Rouman
ian army gets into action at once. It
Is understood tiiat tne Russian general
staff will assist Roumania in the event
the offer is accepted. The official
crown council of Roumania will de
cide the question next week.
TEN BILLS
THE BAIT
Ten perfectly good and new one
dollar bills proved to be the bait that
prompted some unknown to smash one
of the plate glass windows in Hamp
ton's hardware store last night. It is
the third time within a few months
that this store has been visited by
burgs.
For the purpose of advertising, Mr.
Ham pi on had placed ten new one dol
lar bills in his window, mixing them
wilh a nile of coal. Surmounting all
was a sign reading, "Coal is Money. '
Evidently the crook estimated that
money is money. He left a brick and
a broken window to tell the tale.
The jib was quite a neat one at that.
Around the edges of the jagged hole
are the marks where a glass cutter
had been used. One side was broken
cleanly while the others were more or
less splintered. The hole In the glass
is about the size of an ordinary water
bucket. So the cost of the operation
to Mr. Hampton is $10 and one plate
glass. ,
FIELDS TO
SPEAK HERE
According to announcement from
state headquarters of his party, John
Fields, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, will spend next Monday cam
paigning in Grady county, speaking at

CLEVELAND
WOMEN IN
BIG PARADE
By United Press.
Cleveland, 0., Oct. 3. The. largest
woman suffrage parade demonstration
ver held In America took place in
Cleveland today when 3000 women
and more than 200 men marched
through several miles of the down
town streets. Today's showing mark
ed the "beginning of the end" of the
campaign to gain votes for a woman
suffrage amendment to the state con
stitution at the general elections in
November.
Heading the parade. was Joan of Arc
on a white horse, immediately follow
ed .by officers of the Ohio Woman Suf
frage association, including many of
Ohio's foremost women. Homemak-
ers marched with women of the lius!
ness world. College women In cap
and gown walked shoulder to shoulder
with "servant girls" in white aprons
and caps. City women in smart tail
ored gowns mingled freely with their
plainer sisters from the farms and
villages.
One of the most prominent features
of the celebration was a large, peace
float at the very end of the parade
Another "float, which attracted atten
tion was one hearing Ohio's pioneer
suffragists drawn by fifty children, all
members of the junior auxiliary of the
state association.
At every other corner a woman
stepped from the line of march to
mount a stool or dry goods box to
speak to the assembled crowds. The
mammoth demonsl ration today was
the climax of one of the most com
plete and spirited campaigns-Ohio has
ever seen. For weeks women from
all over the country have been in
Ohio giving freely their efforts to
bring "votes for women" one step
nearer the Atlantic seaboard. Every
village and city has seen the big yel
low bannered automobiles in which the
workers travel from place to place
arousing enthusiasm for the "cause."
At suffrage headquarters in Cleve-
and is a small iron pot, such as are
seen in cnarge or saivauon Army
workers at holiday time. Into this
have cone treasures worth several
hundred dollars, and others worth lit
tie in money but priceless to their
owners. Thev are sacrifices in the
tight td gain the vote. One girl sent
in her wedding ring with the comment,
It is all I have." Dollar contributions
have also played a large part in rais
ing funds.

ed that fifty-eight cases of cholera

gested with German troops and war
material.
The German plan of the invasion of
Russia from east Prussia has failed,
according to Russian official reports,
which declare the Gormans got as far
as the western bank of Nieman river,
but found strong Russian forces In the
hills on the eastern bank. Being In
low and marshy ground, the Germans,
according to the Russian viewpoint,
were at a disadvantage and could not
advance.'
