HARRY PFE|FFER
SUCCUMBS To
PNEUMONIA
PROMISING YOUNG MAN OF THIS
CITY DIED FRIDAY NIGHT AZ
TER A BRIEF ILLNESS. BURIAL
AT OKLAHOMA CITY.

Harry Pfeiffer, the 17-year- old son
of Judge and Mrs. VIM. Pfeiffer of
this city, died Friday night at $3.50
o'clock at the home of his parents
in Highland Park. Harry Pfeiffer
was an extremely bright young man,
he graduated far ahead of his class
in the Ardmore high school last
year with twenty units to his credit
and was a student of the State Uni
versity at Norman at the time he
was taken i'll.
He was brought home from Nor
man October 18th and was apparent
ly doing nicely and considered out
of danger until Friday afternoon at
> o'clock, when he suffered a relapse
and gradually sank until the end
came few hours later. Harry
Pfeiffer was a clean young man, in
dustrious and would no doubt have
made his mark in the world. He
began accumulating business
training by delivering a route for
the Ardmoreite and the records show
that he was the most punctilious of
all the boys employed and had few
er complaints registered against
him.
Mrs. Pfeiffer is expecting a brother
Nathan Garfincle, of Calvert, Texas
and Max Pfeiffer of Tishomingo will
also arrive today. Besides the i'm
mediate family there was at the
bedside when the end came Mrs. C
Heninger of Oklahoma City, sister OF
Mrs. Pfeiffer.
Funeral services will be conducted
this morning at the family ohme at
10 o'clock. City Superintendent C
w. Richards has been requested to
conduct the services. Members OF
the graduating class of which Har.
ry was a member, will act as pail
bearers and following the services at
the home the remains will be con-
veyed to the union station and ia
ken to Oklahoma City for inter-
ment.

French Official Report.

Paris, Oct. 24.-The French official
communication issued Friday night
says:
"On our left wing the action con-
tinues with great violence, notably
around Arras, Labassee and Armen-
there's.
"The allies have lost some ground
at some points around Labassee, but
have won some at the east of Armen-
there's.
Generally speaking, on this part
of the front the situation remains the
same.
ITO the north of Aisne our artillery
has destroyed three German batteries.
THE invaders, having first failed
before Albert and Roye, and secondly
before Arras, in their attempts to en-
velop the French left wing, are be
lieved to have been more successful
in the region of Bethune, Moville and
Armentieres.
For this reason, after pushing for
ward toward Hazebrouch (32 miles
northwest of Lille) and Aire-on-the
Lys, they undertook an offensive, fol
lowing the river Lys. The German cav
airy crossed the river and supported
the right wing of the bulk of the Ger
man army, which proceeded south
westward with the evident intention

British War Review.
London, Oct. 24.-The Germans
have undertaken a general offensive
movement along the line extending
from the mouth of the river User on
the North Sea, to the river Meuse,
and while they have compelled the al
lies to give ground in some places,
they themselves have lost positions in
others. This, in a few words, is what
is gathered from official reports com
ing this evening from the French and
the German headquarters.
The German attack Friday was par
ticularly severe in the west, where
their right wing, strongly reinforced
by fresh troops, attempted an advance
against the Belgians, who are holding
the allies extreme left. This left rests
on the coast and is supported by Eng
lish and French warships and by An
| glo-French troops, which form a line
J from near DiXmunde southwark to La
bassee canal. Both sides claim sue
cesses, but the French alone admit
that in places they have been COM
PEELED to fall back Generally, howev-
er, there is little or no change in the
situation, the lines swinging and sway
ing as they have done for weeks.
Although it is now just two months
since the allies concentrated on the
Franco Belgian frontier to oppose the
German advance and the invaders
have been almost to Paris and back
in the interval, no decisive battle has
been fought. The same can be said
of operations in the east, where the
armies of Russia, Germany and Aus
tria are fighting, except in the case
of Lieutenant General Samsonoff, the
Russian commander, whose army was
partially destroyed by the Germans in
the battle at Tannenberg, East Prus
sia.
In the present battle on the Vistula
from Warsaw to the river Pilica, the
Russians have scored an important
victory in driving the Germans bach
