| are reported to have been carried to
the northeast of the road from Ber-
| ry-auBac to Rheims and to the north
of Prunay, in the direction of Beine,
which is slightly to the southeast of
Rheims.
All this shows a determined and
partly successful attempt to drive the
Germans away from Rheims, which
was again under bombardment today.
The famous cathedral again has been
made the target of the German artil-
lery, the Germans accusing the French
of having used the towers for military
purposes. The French advance in this
vicinity also indicates an attempt to
break through the German front and
force a wedge between the German
right and left wings
The French also claim to have made
an advance between the Meuses and
the Moselle and, after having repulsed
the German attacks, to have reached
south of the road leading from Yer
dun to Metz. 1t is probable this is the
fighting which the Germans referred
to as having taken place in the re-
gion of Metz.
On the French right, where there
has been quiet for some time, the Ger
mans have attempted offensive tao
tics in the Ban de Sapt, north of st.
Die, but this movement has been de-
finitely checked.
On the whole, the British military
critics consider the communication a
most cheerful one"
The German advance to the coast
has been definitely checked and the
advances reported elsewhere show
that the Germans have been COM
PEELED to weaken their center and
left in order to strengthen their right.
Although the Germans have failed
to break the allied line and have them.
selves been compelled to give ground,
they are now in better position, hav-
ing a front which stretches from the
Swiss frontier to Antwerp and Dutch
territory, so that there are no flanks
which the lilies can turn.
The allies can attempt to break the
line, however. and this is believed to
be what they are trying to do on the
Belgian frontier.
OF the fighting in northern Belgium
the French communication simply
says the German troops coming from
Antwerp are marching toward the
west. and on the evening of Oct IA,

BIC COTTON
LOAN PLAN IS
DISCUSSED
ET RESERVE BANK LEADERS -
F,HAL WORK DELAYED - CON.
piTIoNS OF NEW YORK SUB.
SCRIPTIONS CHANGED.

Washington, Oct 15.-While final
discussion was not reached by the
| federal reserve board Thursday on
the proposal for a S150,0O0,000 loan
| 0y' Lankers to aid cotton producers,
:. oLPh was accomplished to make
it certain the board would assume
general supervision of the fund If
the plan should be carried out The
matter was discussed at length at
the board meeting Thursday, and
although it already has the approval
of the board in principle, difficult
ties as to details of administration
Of the fund were encountered which
delayed final action.
President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo, however, are known to be
greatly interested in the success of
the plan, and it was predicted Thurs
day night that the board would work
out system of administration of
the fund satisfactory to the govern
ment and the participating bankers
Festus j. Wade and George Sim
mons, the st. Louis bankers who have
taken leading part in pushing the
plan, had long conference Thurs
day with Secretary McAdoo and la
ter with the board.
Mr. Wade departed Thursday night
for StLouis, Mr.. Simmons and w.
p. G. Harding, the member of the
board most familiar with conditions
in the cotton country, probably will
work out other details.
Conditions imposed by the New
York banks on their contributions
were believed Thursday night to
form one obstacle to the immediate
acceptance of the plan. They pro-
pose turning over their quota to
the board to be loaned to national
currency associations or to federal
reserve banks. To be useful the
fund must be in hand within thirty
days, it was pointed out Thursday
night. and reserve banks are prac-
tically eliminated from consideration.
The question was raised in the
board meeting' whether currency as
sociations, created under the AID
rich-Vreeland act, are clothed with
legal power to handle the fund. Fur
ther efforts will be made to straight
en- out these differences. and the
New York bankers probably will be
consulted.

Favorable to the Allies.


London, Oct. 1.-two great battles,
one in northern France and Belgium
the other in Russian Poland, both with
front of 800 miles, have reached
their height, but the public is allowed
only an occasional glance of their
progress through official communica.
tions which frequently are wirely at
variance.
From the French report it appears
that the western battle is going slowly
but surely in favor of the allies. I'm
der the pressure of the troops of the
allies, the Germans who started to
advance on Calais and other French
coast ports, have been forced to eva
cuate the left bank of the Lys river,
which is considerable distance east
of the points their advance guards
reached last week Further east, in
the Lens district, and southwark be-
tween Alias and Albert, where the
Germans made their first attempt to
work around the allies left the Eng
lish and French have made notable
progress"
Evidence that the German assaults
are being delivered with less force is
conveyed in the information that be-
tween the Soome and the Disc their
artillery attacks are not being fol-
lowed up with infantry charges. 1t is
possible they have withdrawn some of
their troops from this position to
strengthen their advance toward the
coast, but 1t is considered this would
be risky, as it might permit the al
lies to break through and interrupt
the communications of their armies
fighting north of the Aisne.
Official French Statement.
Paris. Oct. 16-The official COM
munication issued by the French war
office last night says:
"The news of the day indicates
gains at several points along the
front.
ION the left wing, to the north of
Lys, we have taken Estaires. On the
center to the north and east of
Rheims we have made an advance of
nearly two kilometers (about a mile
and a quarter).
"On the heights of the Meuse and
in the Woevre region we have made
gains 10 the south of st. Mihiel and
near Mareheyille."
In the center the allies have also
advanced, particularly toward Cra-
onRe, and several German trenches

DEMOCRATS
ARE GETTING
ACTIVE HERE
ORGANIZING THE COUNTY AND
MAKING PREPARATIONS TO
GET OUT THE VOTE ON ELEc-
TON DAY.

Yesterday afternoon the county
central committee met at the court
house for the purpose of formulating
plans for an active campaign from
now until election day in the county.
J. H. Thigpen of Oklahoma City
who is working in the interest Of
the state democratic headquarters,
was here, and outlined the work that
is expected of every county in the
state during the campaign in order
to insure success at the polls in
November.
Chairman Sam Apple, and several
members of the committee, met again
last night and mapped out an itin-
erary for the various county can
didates, who will start out at once
and make a complete canvass of
the county and work with each pre-
cinct committeeman in order that
all the democratic voters may be
brought to the polls on election day
Mr. Thigpen put the situation
squarely up to the voters of this
section and informed them that it
was not sufficient in the strong dem
ocratic counties that they consider
the election over after the primary,
because there were many counties
especially in the northern part Of the
state, where the republicans were in
a majority and they were waging
a relentless warfare for their can
didate for governor.
S. P. Freezing arrived in this city
that morning and will speak here
tonight Today he will be at Will
son and Springer. Several local pol
iticians accompanied him on this
trip.
The state headquarters has a plan
for getting out the vote, and good
one to arouse interest among the
precinct committeeman, and that is
a pledge that they will get a certain
number of active workers in each
polling place 10 see that every voter
who has not voted before two
o'clock in the afternoon be sent for.
1t is thought by this method that
the entire democratic strength can
be polled.

DEDICATED
DR.. H. A. BOAZ OF FORT WORTH
WILL HAVE CHARGE OF SER.
VICES SUNDAY AT II O'CLOCK
- BRIEF HISTORY OF cHURcH.

cal Society Methodist church OF
tn Ddicated Sunday
morning at II ~-ock with apprO-
pirate ceremonies. Dr. II. A. BoaZ,
president of the Texas Woman's Col
lege at Fort Worth, Tex, will be
here and will have charge of the
services at the morning hour. The
entire indebtedness of the church
and the parsonage, amounting to
$4,000 was raised last spring by the
pastor, DR.. C. R. Gray, and the
church is now free of debt
Besides raising this money. the
church has raised $500 to $500 to be
paid for some improvements that
have been made since the church
debt was paid. DR.. Gray is now in
his fourth year as pastor of the
church. The conference meets in
Chickasha on the 18th of November,
and it is most probable that DR..
Gray will be returned. He came
here in the middle of the confer
ence year and that first service does
not counel as a year, and under the
rules of the church he is eligible
as pastor another year.
Following is brief historical
sketch of the church that will be
interesting to the readers of The
Ardmoreite:

DISTRICT ATTY.
HAS CLASSIFIED
LAND SUITS
D. H. LIMBAUGH ACTIVELY AT
WORK TO CLEAR FEDERAL
DocKETs OF co. 900 LAND SUITS
FILED BY GOVERNMENT.

United States District Attorney d.
H. Linebaugh is here attending the
session of federal court Mr.. Line
baugh has been a very active man
since he was appointed to this office
and has done vast deal of good
to the eastern district in helping
to put down law violations. He is
also engaged in another work that
vitally effects the interests of the
Indian Territory portion of the state.
He has charge of the prosecution of
the land suits which have been
brought by the government. There
are more than 10000 of these suits,
and Mr.. Linebaugh is working hard
to clear the dockets and get these
cases out of the way so they will not
stand in the way of agricultural
development of the country. He has
classified these cases for the first
time since they were filed, about
seven years ago. The cases which
have merit will be tried, and those
which do not possess merit will be
dismissed 1t is estimated that there
are from 5000 to 1000 of these
cases that have no merit and will
be stricken from the docket.
Mr.. Limbaugh Is also notifying all
defendants that they have the privi-
lege of quit claiming these lands,
and the suits will be dismissed at the
cost of the government. He is urg-
ing defendants to cooperate with
him in getting the suits out of the
way by executing quit claim deeds
and If the defendants do not CO.
operate he will prosecute the cases
and tax up the costs to these de-
PENDANTS. In other words, he is Of
fering to be generous, but if the offer
is not accepted he will proceed 10
collect the costs in the suits.
In the Chickasaw nation there are
