DREADNAUGHT
 SURELY DOOMED
POWERS NOW BUSY BUILDING SUBMARINES PRIN-
 CIPALLN.

LONDON. Dee. 23.-England prob ably never will lay down another drcadnaught says one of the foremost ship builders in this country who for obvious reasons, cannot be quoted. All the dreaduaughts according to this authority which have been laid down will be rushed Co completion, but no orders vii, be given for any more yes scls of this type. This policy was un- der serious consideration when the Audacious went to the bottom and the recent loss of the Bulwark has only served to confirm the opinion that the ba,tIcship as a fighting craft is doomed.
 All new construction in the British shipyards consist of heavily armed cruisers of great coal carrying capaci- ty, destroyers and submarines. For ten miles along the Tyne in coming iu- to Newcastle the passengers on the boats cannot hear each other speak because of the din of steam hammers most of which are making destroyers and submarines.
 When Sir Percy Scott expressed his doubts of the efficiency of the dread raught just after England had placed her seal on it as the premier fighting unit of naval warfare, his unortho- doxy made him the strategic heretic of his time. but this war has come near Co viudicatirg his theory, for thus far not a single success can be placed to the credit of drcaduaught while the experimental almost deSpiSed, sub marine has won most of the naval laurcls.
 France is also reported as hurrying the construction of submarines while Russia is said Co have asked for tend CTS on a submarine of two thousand tons.

ALDERSHOT, Eng, Dec, 24,-As the result Of recent orders given by Sir John French, the families of re- gular troops statoned here have been dclightfuuy surprised by visits from relatives direct from the front. These men are given leave from the trenches and most of them elect to spend the time with their families.
 Wives of sergeant majors, who des- paired of seeing their husbands before the end of the war, have been surpris- ed by the receipt of telegrams from seaports informing them of the home coming. These husbands arrive look ing as spick and span as when they marched away to the war for the men are selected from the regiments which have been moved to the rear of the battle line to give the soldiers a chance to clean up and receive fresh uniforms. It is expected that later whole units will be given holidays and the soldier in the trenches, ac- cording to one officer just returned from the front, has no rosier antici- patton than the prospect of an after noon at a football game followed by the evening at a music hall.

The annual report of the second as- sistant postmaster general for Alaska shows that the appropriation for the fiscal year was $45O,OOO. The amount expended to Sept. 30, 1914 was $249,- O94.42 leaving an unexpended balance of 2OO,9O5.5S, out of which unsettled accounts must be paid, The large part of the balance is due that more money was allowed for transporting parcels post than was needed,

Complaint Against Train Rules.

Oklahoma City, March Saturday
the corporation commission heard evil
dence on the complaint of the Travel
ers' Corporation of Oklahoma against
the railroads TO require the opening of
one exit to each passenger car, and
TO abolish the rule requiring passen-
gers to show their tickets before
boarding the trains. The complaint
arises over the delay in unloading and
loading trains at stations by reason
of the two rules mentioned. The car
riers answered through their witness

DOING A GREAT WORK.

Ii must be a great deal of satisfac-
ton to a man to know that he has
accomplished one unseliish thing. Tho
few do the great things while the
many plod through life working every
day to satisfy their own selfish de-
mands and then generally die poor
One of the men in Oklahoma who is
building today better than he knows
is w. ]. Milburn of Milburn, Okla
He has conceived the idea of build
ing a highway reaching from Kansas
into Central Texas. The road has
been surveyed through each county
along the line, an organization has
been perfected in each county, and a
parent organization has been formed
known as the Oklahoma, Texas ana
Gulf Highway Association. The road
has been logged for the automobile
journals, and much of the work mas
already been done.
March and have been made
good roads days along this line and
each county will have its forces or
,ganized for the day. Business VIII be
suspended in many of the towns along
the proposed road on these two days
some of the schools will suspend, mer
in. every walk of life Will volunteer
their services on the road with teams
and scrapers and shovels, and the wo
men are preparing to take dinner u
the roads to feed the hungery workers
Reports received state that a vast dea
of work will be done in each county
and should each county devote tn
two days to the road it will be II
readiness for interstate travel ant
will be worth as much to the towns l
passes through as n new railroad
would be. This is the road that W.
hope to have built from Sulphu
through Ardmore to Fort Worth.

DECISION ON OPENING ROADS
Law Covering Cherokee Nation Prop
erty Is Construed.


Oklahoma City, Okla, Mar. 1.-The
law governing the opening of section
lines for road purposes in the Che
rokee Nation was construed in an
opinion by Judge Sharp of division No.
of the supreme court commission,
in the case of NJ. S. Edmondson and
others against G. b. Francisco, road
supervisor of Delaware county, which
was reversed and remanded. The stat
utes applicable to the Chickasaw and
the Usage nations have been construed
in other opinions.
Under the Cherokee allotment act
of July /, 1902, public highways two
rods in width, being one rod on each
side of the section line, may be es-
tablished without compensation being
paid therefor. and all allottees and
others shall take title to such lands
subject to this provision. But if build
ing or other improvements are dam
aged in consequence, they must be
paid for as the act provides. The
court held that road overseer is
without authority to open section lines
in the Cherokee Nation on which are
located valuable Improvements, placed
there before allotment, where the nee
assarv result of his act would be to
materially damage or destroy such i'm
movements without damages thereto

Billie Keltner and Carl Frensley

Mr. Frensley is a son of r. b.
Frensley, one of the pioneer mer-
chants of Ardmore. He was born
in this city and has come back
here to make this place his home.
He is a cousin to the Frensley
boys of this city.
Mr.. Keltner is also looking for
a location. He went to Madill this
afternoon and will visit Wilson and
the oil fields and will come back
to Ardmore on another investigat-
ing trip. He does not know where
he will locate, but thinks better
of Ardmore than any other place

on the west Talk has been INDUCED
in for some time on the proportion OF
a highway east and west out of Ard
more to the state line on the east and
on the west Such a road, If ever
started, would be extended on the east
as far as Memphis and on the west as
far as Denver, Colo. That result
would be sure to follow, McAlester is
one of the towns which it would be
desirable to have on the line of road

man who is willing to devote his time

An era of building is here. The
city commissioners have an example
on a certain corner on Main street OF
what it means to allow buildings to go
up without restrictions. This is an
excellent time for the commissioners
to look into the present fire limits of
the city and extend them to include
such property as will likely be added
to the, business district within the
next year or two.

DEADLY WORK OF
INTERNAL MACHINE
MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE RECEIV- =
ED THROUGH MAIL - VICTIM
BLOWN TO PIECES.

Springfield, H., March 1.-Do-
tectives are tonight working dill
gently in an apparently hopeless
effort to solve the mystery sur
rounding the dealh this morning at
Sullivan, Moultrio county of Fred
Mennerich, aged SO, q former resi-
dent of this city, who was literally
blown to pieces by an Internal ma
chine. His arm torn off and his
body terribly lacerated, Mennerich
lived several minutes, but never
resained consciousness long enough
TO say word which could be used
as a clew IN developing VINO was
responsible for the deed. Dona
Mennerich, the victims wife, who
has been separated from her hus-
band for two months, was detained
as a witness, but ate tonight was
released.
Blackened with powder and spat-
tered with blood, letter addressed
to Mrs. Dona Menlerich, SPRING
field. III and which had never
been mailed, was found near Men
nerich's body. The letter was open
ed by the police. N this letter
Mennerich said that he had receiv-
ed package through the mails,
but would not open it until Sunday.
According to the Sullivan police,
the Internal machine was packed in
a small wooden box. 1t contained
liquid explosive, presumably nitro
glycerin. which was exploded when
the lid OF the box was pried open.
