These and other like questions can

arithmetic the princesses are taught

Washington, June S.-When Gen.
Clarence Edwards, chief of the Bu-
reau of lnsular Affairs, in recent
statement to the senate finance
committee declared that in case of
war with a first class power the Uni
ted States could not defend the Phil
ippines, he made a frank admission
OF what is generally realized by
competent army men.
That the continued possession of
the Philippines by the United States

Russia, Japan, Germany or France,

on the fleet, not the army, is gen
orally admitted to be true both by
military and naval strategists. If
the American fleet continued su-
preme in the Pacific theater, then
the United States could retain the
islands, but otherwise it would have
to give them up.
Army men generally realize that
as military proposition, with only
scant force of, say $4,000 TO
$4,000 men in the Philippines, it
would be easy for a hostile nation
suddenly to throw IA force into the
islands that would capture them, ia
pan, for instance, being much closer
to the islands than this country,
could do it,
OF course, any nation trying it
would have to bear in mind that
there would follow war of mighty

for years, if need be- and spend
! billions of dollars TO recoup any
prestige that might be lost by the
loss of the Philippines.
The war department has done
some effective work of fortifyine
one strategic point in the Philip
pines. This is Corregidor, the rocky
island that stands guard at the en-
trance to the Bay of Manila. Cor
regidor, with the small islands that
lie about it's flanks, has been made
! into a veritable Gibraltar. 1t is pre-
pared to stand long siege and this
is one point in the Philippines to
which the United States would un-
doubtedly be able to hold for a long
! time, even if all the rest of the
islands passed into the possession
of foreign foe.
/ Manila, however, could easily be
captured from the rear, even though
/ Corregidor remained in the posses

well understood by army men. II
I is not feasible to build such for

tifications. perhaps, could be con

expenditures of many millions OF
dollars and much time. No steps
toward such Notifications have
been taken and in their absence
and in the absence of strong ar

NOT SUFFERING FOR RAIN.
Leading Carter County Farmer Says
There is Abundance of Moisture.

X. F. G. Loughridge. who was in
Ardmore yesterday from Lone Grove.
stated to an Ardmoreite report er
that in his opinion the people of this
section were becoming needlessly
alarmed over the dry weather. Mr..
LOushridge said that the oat an
wheat crop were made-in fact large
part of the oat crop was already har-
vested and that very few days of
continued fair weather would see the
wheat of this county in the shock.
Dry weather is an essential to a sue
cessful wheat harvest. The gentleman
said that the corn was looking we!,,
had n good color and was not yellow
as it had been for some time. owing
to the exceedingly wet and cold
weather Immediately proceeding this
touch Of dry weather. The present
weather, the gentleman further stated.
was the very hest growing weather
imaginable. The corn was taking deep
root and there was an abundance Of
moisture in the soil TO feed the grow
ing plant. In addition to this, Mr..
Loughridge further said that this was
fine cotton weather. ideal in fact for
the starting of this crop
While few rains at seasonable
intervals would he right and of ms
terial benefit, yet Mr.. Loughridge
thought that some who We're gettinc
scared over a drouth We're needlessly
alarmed and said that we could do

A Homo Institution FOR Home Men.


1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by a share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence OF two things, that this associa-
tion is help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For a safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find a better op-
portunity than is offered by this COM
pany.
The president of the association. as
well as the secretary is man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as business man when they elected
lim their mayor, and in the business
world he is recognized as a success.
This can also be said OF the secre-
tary, ". A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas of the association.
