Exchanged Shots With Anti Drafts Near Stonewall. STATE GUARDSMEN ON DUTY Run Down Revolters 1n Half a Dozen Towns. Predict Battle Between Posse and Rioters at Konawa. Ada, Okla., Aug;. 4. "They scattered like aheep." This was County Attorney A. L. Bul lock's succinct account today of the early morning skirmish between southeastern Oklahoma's anti-draft revolutionists and the posse of citizens, who, near Stonewall, met and ex changed shots. I Bullock's reports say- no one was killed and that the particular portion of the army of protest that had gath ered near Stonewall was completely dispersed. Ada's posse of" citizens returned at daybreak today, reporting no action in the region of Sasakwa, the town which revolters yesterday threatened to in vade. Roundup Is Widespread. Groups of citizens from Seminole, Pontotoc Hughes, Okmulgee, Creek, Okfuskee and Pittsburg' counties are still beating the brush thruout the whole southeastern Oklahoma region in efforts to roundup the revolters, who are now reported to have split into several divisions. That Konawa, Seminole county, on Jhe Katy railway, fourteen miles north of this city, would be the scene of 'conflict was indicated today when re port was received here that citizens posses and rioters were assembling for battle. Sheriff Robert Duncan, this county, arrested ten rioters in the region of Sasakwa late yesterday. They were brought here. Duncan waa aided by twenty-five citizens. Names of mob leaders were secured. National guard cavalry troops, members from Oke'mah, are now n Sasakwa. Mob leaders Active. That mob leaders are still going thru the country-side drumming P recruits and talking revolution was the report early today from Shawnee. Russia's revolution is the slogan of inspiration shouted to all In this re cruiting. v- "The Russians revolted; let us. too, seize the government." Those who protest at joining the mob are forced to go. Seizure of all towns in this region, and capture of the railways Is the pro gram, announced by mob leaders. Four Posses Hunt Rebels. Oklahoma City, Okla., Aug. 4. At dawn today an organized effort to search out in the rough and timbered sections of their counties was '.o be begun by four sheriffs and posses of hundreds of men, the various bands of armed objectors openly and in force defying the selective draft by which the national army is to be build ed. Neither the exact number of the supposed half dozen or so bands of resisters nor the numerical strength of any band has been revealed from the tagled mass of rumors and reports, but it is known that the disorder "has spread thru Pottawat omie, Hughes, Seminole and Pontococ counties and that one band numbers at least eighty men. One other i, i said to contain four hundred. The objectors apparently made their first appearance in force In Seminole I county, where for several days past i organized draft resistance has been (Continued on Page Twol I COOLER NEXT WEEK! i i Drop in Temperature Promised, but i Ldttle Ra.n Is in Sight, i Altho there is little relief promised the suffering crops of Kansas in the weekly forecast. Issued today by S. D. Flora, local meteorologist, the people who suffer with the heat will find con solation in the prediction that lower temperatures will prevail during the early part of the week, followed by moderate weather the latter part.

The thunder showers are scheduled for the latter part of the week and will likely occur next Sunday if they arrive ac cording to schedule.

Then All but the Two Undesir- ables Iteturn to Posts. London; Aug. 4. Russia was orce a; Aup. 4.: again reforming her cabinet today, for the fourth time since democracy over threw absolutism. Petrograd dispatches today empha sized that the resignations of nil the ministers and the later withdrawal of these resignations by all save two of the Kerensky cabinet members, was not due to lack of support from the populace. They "were, impelled first by charges approaching treason level led against M. Tehemoff, Socialist minister of agriculture, forcing that member's retirement. Tchernoif did not" withdraw his resignation and he and Foreign' Min ister Terestchenko were the only two ministers who were out- today. Ters stchenko is not a Socialist and las occasionally exhibited lack of sym pathy for the radical policies cf his fellow cabinet members. Hasn't Handicapped Kerensky. Apparently the charges against Tehernoff were inspired by the con stitutional Democrats, on whom Kerensky had been working in an ef fort to have them designate a party leader for the cabinet. One report received today was that an adjustment of the whole ministry would be arranged tomorrow at a con ference which it was understood Premier Kerensky had, called between all parties and representatives of the workmen's, soldiers' and peasants' congresses at Moscow.': That the cabbinet upheaval has -not stopped Premier Kerensky's co-jrse in repressing malcontents wus proved in Petrograd dispatches detailing the ar rest of General Gurko, formerly com mander on' the southern front and other officers, charged with fostering the recent army mutiny. A -igorous hunt was on for the assassin of Gen eral Erdelli, military governor of Petrograd. 1 HOLDUP DURING MARCH

Demand by Distillers -Forces Xew Record Cash Price. Chicago, Aug." 4.-: Iespite renewed attention to chances that peace moves might suddenly assume some genuine significance, corn has hardened in price this week chiefly -owing to scantiness of rains in the drouth re- gion southwest and to increased urgen cy of industrial demand. The result is cent to 1 cents net advance. Wheat Is up 1 cents, oats cent off to a like up turn and provisions dear-, er by 76 cents to $1.30. Anxiety over unfavorable crop con ditions for corn in the southwest was increased temporarily by disturbing effects of a serious railway strike in Chicago and later by. a. wave of ex tremely hot weather. On the other hand, the demand for corn for imme diate use, especially by distillers, re mained so urgent that spot delivery corn rose to new high price records. a circumstance which resulted later in action by the directors of the board of trade prohibiting all fresh dealings in September option. Buy for Belgian Relief. Delays to the food control bill re duced dealings in wheat to nearly the zero point except for a last of the month squeeze in the July option. Shorts in oats as well as in wheat were sharply pinched by a flurried windup of the July auction. Provis ions advanced came about largely be cause of a bullish construction that some authorities placed on the month ly report of warehouse stocks here. Belgian relief buying also was -a lead ing factor. DEMANDS A REPUBLIC Chinese Premier Announce Chinese Gov't Will Form New Parliament. Peking. Aug. 4. Premier. Tuan -Chi Jul has issued a statement declaring himself a strong advocate of a re public, announcing that the govern ment proposes to form a new parlia ment.

Nevertheless Tuan Chi Jul says the government will seek to have a popular organ whlcn by its. consti tution will operate with the govern ment and be suitable to the present cordition-of the people. The republican government may be permanently secured for eastern Asia, Peace in China and tranquillity in the far east will be promoted all ho thre may be opposition from ths radicals, yet the welfare of the nation demands that the- plan be executed. GHASTLY WAR IS NOT SO BAD AS GERMAN PEACE Lloyd George Says This War Must Be Last One. Distinguished Gathering Cele-1 brates 3d Anniversary of War. WARNS AGAINST INTERFERENCE Can't Permit Sectional Party To Dictate Peaee Terms. No' Peace Talk With Germany Until It Offers Restoration. London, Aug. 4. Lloyd George, the British prime minister, said he did not trust the German peace talk. "Neither I the kaiser nor the chancellor," he de- i clared, "has yet said he would be sat-I isfied with German soil. They-talk i glibly about peace but stammer over! the word restoration. v "Before we have a peace confer- J ence tney must team to use me wum restoration. Sothey have not learned the first of the alphabet" The nremier asked what" would have haDDened if Great Britain had I not entered the war. He answered this question by saying: 1 Europe would nave oeen at ma mercy of a cruel military power. Rus- sia would have disintegrated sooner; France would have fought bravely out might have been overwhelmed. Amer ica's Monroe doctrine would have been treated as a scrap of) paper. The fact today is that we have checked the ambitions of Germany. i "War is a ghastly business, but it la not so bad as their peace. While they know their plot has miscarried this time, the Prussian war lords have de termined to succeed the next time. "There must be no next time. This generation must eliminate war from the tragedies of human life. "If we sow seeds of discontent and disunion in the nation we shall reap defeat. A nation which falters before it reaches its purpose will never be come a great people. Near Realizing Hope? "No one in Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia, or even in Germany and Austria, has any idea how near we are today at the summit of our hope.' t- t Th British premier spoke in the presence of a distinguished gathering representative of all-parties which met this afternoon to mark the third anniversary of the declaration of war. He reiterated the alma for which the entente allies are fighting and indi cated the only eonditions under which they would consent to a suspension of hostilities with the central powers. The meeting was neid under the auspices of the national war aims committee- and was probably the greatest patriotic demonstration of the year. The expectation- had been that .the premier's speech would be a most important one. The Marquis of Crewe, leader of the liberal party in the house of lords, was chosen to preside. He was sup ported by the archbishop of Canter bury, twentymembers of the govern ment and one hundred members of parliament, Baron Sonnino, the Ital ian foreign minister, and Nikola Pachitch,: the Serbian premier, were invited guests. During- his speech Premier 44oyd George said:., Ross Confusion a Warning. "Victory must be so coifiplete that cur national liberty never again shall be challenged. "Russia learned that an army with out discipline isa rabbit. "There are some here- who want to set up committees for the British army and direct the conduct .or tne war; We cannot allow a sectional or ganization -to direct the war or to dic tate the terms of peace. "The nation as a whole made war and the nation as a whole must make peace." W. H. TAFT TO KANSAS Bit-President Win Speak at Clay Cen- i ter Chantanqoa Monday. Clay Center. Kan., Aug. 4.

RUSSIANS FROM AMERICA LEAD SLAV ANARCHY Elihu Root and Party Back on U. S. Soil Again. Labor Representative Optimis tic for Russian Republic TROUBLE, TEUTON PROPAGANDA Tell Russians American Rule "Worse Than Czar's, Was. U. S. Socialists Panned as Dis loyal by Socialist Member. A Pacific Port, Aug. 4. rhe Amer ican mission to Russia headed by Elihu Root landed here lata last night. No official statement on the work of the mission In Russia or on the report that the mission will make on its re turn to Washington could be obtained. Mr. Root, acting as spokesman de clared that he had nothing to say. be yond the fact that the party Uad been hospitably received In every Russian city they visited. From th Russian revolution will be evolved a stable government, accord ing to James DuncanVvice president of the American Federation of Labor. Its establishment is retarded, he de clared, by the radical so-called re formers, of the character of I. W. W. who have returned to Russia after having lived a while In America. Misrepresent TJ S. to Stir Revolt. Charles Edward Russell declared that the task of new Russia was greatly handicapped y German in fluences and the ceaseless activity of the German propagandists. "Most o the trouble, Iiowever, has been caused by Russians naturalized as Americans, who have returned to Russia since the outbreak of the revo lution," he said and added that Rus sians from the United States spread the report thruout the sountry that America had entered the war from sordid reasons. "These propagandists," he con tinued, "who pretend to an intimate knowledge of American conditions and American motives. Inform their native countrymen that the govern ment of the United States is more oppressive than the old regime at Petrograd." Declaring that the Socialist party in America is lif the hands of German propagandists, Mr. Russell made his first answer to his expansion from that party. Demands Trial Before Expulsion. "The constitution of the Socialist party in the United States provides that no one could be expelled without a hearing," he asserted, "so I consider that I have never been expelled, but I have no interest in an organization that Is disloyal." Rear Admiral Glennon learned for the first time of the death of his. son, which occurred three weeks ago. Wireless messages carrying the news were directed to him but failed to reach him. Other members of the mission are: C. H. McCormick, president of -h international Harvester company: Samuel R. Barton, of New York; Charles R. Crane, manufacturer; John R. Mott, and Maj. Gen. Hugh L.

BOLD "WAR BABY" 18-Year-01d Youth on First Flight Amazes Veterans. Swoops Down on Infantry, Has Pistol Duel With Officer. l BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. With the British Army in the Field. Aug. 4. An eighteen-year-old "war baby" making his first flight alone over enemy territory was awarded the palm today among England's air men for sheer audacity in the amaz ing list of aerial experts heralding the opening of the Flanders offensive. The youngster swooped far over the enemy territory and then swooped back, flying within a few feet of the ground. He spied a detachment of German infantry, crossing a bridge, and promptly let loose with his ma chine gun. Utterly disregarding the hall of rifle fire they turned upon him, he circled back and forth, barely over their heads his machine gun rattling away. H saw four or five corpses before the Germans gave way and sought shelter in nearby ditches. The airman snooped around a little more, found his quarry too well cov ered up and then winged blithily on his way. Fights German Officer. Next he swooped over an open mo tor car on a wide road, letting loose his machine gun fire at an officer in the tonneau. The machine turned into a side road and Its driver opened wide the throttle. The officer turned against his adversary, a few feet aloft. and began firing with his automatic revolver. The "war baby" felt he would not be so unsportsmanlike as to return the officer's feeble pistol fire with -his machine gun, so he stopped the latter and from the air staged1 a revolver duel with the flying enemy. Suddenly the automobile was jammed to a stop. The British plane, fifty feet above and twenty-five feet behind, 'could not stop, but the aviator hurriedly circled back, then he saw his adversary being dragged into a house. Meanwhile perfect rain of anti-aircraft shells and machine gun bullets spat all about the plane. The pilot twirled around few times, shot into the skies, disap peared Into clouds and by and by came home unharmed. Nearly all of the aerial fighting on the day of aviation wonders of which the foregoing was Just an incident. was at altitudes of less than 200 feet. The clouds hung so low that flying had to be at this level If aviators ex pected to see anything. One fight close to the first line trenches began at 200 feet aloft and ended at fifty, when the Britisher forced the German to turn and side slip down to death. Dispersed 200 Troops. Another British aviator Impudently ran his machine along the ground-of German aerodromes behind the lines, actually firing his machine gun thru the open doors of the sheda Rising again, he dropped bombs over three sheds and silenced the enemy machine gund an "archies. The same pilot machine gunned two German officers riding along a road on horse back and later dispersed column of 200 troops and crashed down one of two enemy planes that rose to do him battle. Then he swooped back to let -his machine gun fire play death in a crowd of Germans who had assembled around the wreck of the German plane. RUN DOWN TRAITORS Federal Agents Thru Half Towns In Iowa.

WAR ALREADY IS MAKING GAPS 111 ARMY OF TOILERS Big Business Beginning To Feel Pinch of the Draft. Factories, Packers and Others Urge Women To Fill Jobs. FARMERS GALL ENOUGH! No More Unskilled Farm Hands They're a Nuisance. Taxi Company Loses Many Women Chauffeurs Now. Chicago, Aug. 4. Big business of which Illinois Is generally representa tive is beg.nning to feel the "pinch' of the draft. From scores of factories', meat packers and big corporations thruout the state today came letters to the Illinois council of defense, urging that women be engaged to fill places of men drawn for war service. B. E. Wolf, assistant manager of the Yellow-Shaw Taxlcab company, which operates 800 cabs and employs more than 2,000 mechanics and chaur feurs, has already sounded a caH for women chauffeurs. Applications have been received from 200 "mostly all of whom are married," says Wolf. Lose Half of Drivers. "They learned to run cars because their husbands owned one," he said, in explanation. Wolf says his company will start training women within two weeks. He figures that the draft will take CO per cent of his chauffeurs. The letters received were in most cases answers to queries from the wom en s committee of the defense coun cil. Mrs W. S. Hofferan, Chicago, Is chairman. Meat packers said they would re place drafted men in the offices with women, and in the meat department women would be used to replace meat trimmers and sausage workers. No More Men Milliners. A hardware firm wrote that it would be able to use 15 girls as core makers. Millinery establishments. where thousands of women are al ready employed, stated they -would' fill stock room jobs with women, to release men for war or more strenu ous kinds of work. A plow company. down state, declared that it would probably be able to use a score of women in about sixty days. While many women wll? be called on to" fill "war" jobs, the great ma jority of the positions they will fill will be clerical ones. Men. now em ployed, as clerks and bookkeepers, it Is believed, will be shifted to the fac tories or to jobs where physical labor Is required and the women substituted for tnem in tne ornce. Farmers urged the council not to send them any more unskilled farm laborers, as they sajl tluy hamper work. They would rather work longer hours, they said, and d- the work themselves. REBEL ARMY Contlnned from fage Onet reported. Tenant farmers; Indians and negroes are said to compose the organization which already nave par tially destroyed two railroad bridges, abandoned their crops and severed wire communications from various towns outside which they gathered.

He was heavily armed and carried a grip filled with ammu nition. The motto of the rioters said to be: "This is a rich man's war. Let us fight to the death at home rather than he killed in the trenches.' The first clash between the resiaters and authorities waa reported to have occurred near Ada last night, but report from there early today declared that the officers had encountered no resistance and that but one band had been sighted. It numbered sixty men. Sheriff Robert Duncan of Seminole county led a posse of forty against the objectors and captured twenty men. Ten were found to have been impressed into the ranks of the re- i sigtere and were released. The others were Jailed at Ada. It was said that from the prisoners releasee, tne names of the ringleaders of that band had been secured. Posses to Shoot to Kill. Sheriff Duncan later declared he be lieved the backbone of the movement had been broken and -while the situa tion In that vicinity seemed to be clearing, the officers continued their preparations for a sunrise drive on the registers. It was suggested last night by a representative of Gov. Williams, Just returned from a tour thru the affected district that the possemen bo instructed to "shoot to kill." and all possemen are heavily armed. REBELS TERRORIZE PEOPLE. May X umber 500 to 600; Loot Farms; Force Men to Join. -Sasakwa, Okla. Aug. 4. Straggling squads of grim-faced possemen from Hughes, Seminole and Pontotle counties early today were concenirmt ed at Rock Springs crossing on the Little river, six miles north of here, for a final council before continuing the hunt for armed bands of objectors to the selective draft scattered thru the adjacent country, all of which is rous:h and heavily timbered. Spreading terror among the peace ful, law abidinig rural Inhabitants and impressing innocent men Into their i ranks the objectors have found hiding Dlaces in the timbered hills and fields of growing corn and cotton. Posse- i men declared it would take several days and possibly a week before the hunt is terminated. Officers hanre the names of the outlaws and their arrest was believed to be only a matter of time. Affidavits sworn to by men Im pressed Into the objectors' ranks, who afterwards escaped give evidence that the plot to withstand service in. the national armv ia widesDread. hut has i been poorly organized. I is thought the machinations included plans to burn and dynamite bridges, demoral ize traffic in gereral and to rob and plunder whenever the opportunity or fered. Fear Getting Poison. I Hillside homes visited early today by members of the posses presented only women and children as occu pants, with occasionally an armed man, shewing the effects of an all night vigil. At most of the places the possemen were told there were no men present. Close Inquiry Invariably failed to elicit further information. Officers and posse members have been warned not to accept food or drink at unfriendly farm houses. Wo men and children left behind by the recalcitrants were said by officers to have been Instructed to poison the food and drink of any visitor who can not give a prearranged signal. captains of the outlaw bands wear red ribbons across their breasts. Re ports of neglected crops in the district occupied by the objectors have been exaggerated, according to posse mem- Den. Estimates of the number of men en rolled In the objectors' ranks vary. The popular belief, however, is that they number between 600 and .600. Center of Disturbance. This neighborhood, according to au thorities, appeared to be the center of the objectors' organization, which ex tends northward into Hughes countv. soutn into Pontotoc county, and northwest into Pottowatomie countv. Two arrests had been made early this morning. A youth giving the name of jaDez tfenerield, brother of an alleged captain of the "southern" district, and a man giving rhe name of J. D. Man ealey, about 60 years old, were in the nanas or a posse. UNIONS TO FIGHT IT Organized Labor, 5,000 Strong, Will Combine Against the Poll Tax.
