CORRESPONDENCE Of Associated Press.]
London, Nov. 25.-Major General
Desmond O'Callaghan, of the Royal
Artillery, has been investigating a
number of alarmst reports which have
had wide circulation in England to
the effect that German ordnance agents
have for years past been preparing for
the German invasion of England by
secretly placing In factory foundations,
tennis courts, and residences, deep
concrete foundations, suitable for use
with the heaviest German siege ar
tillery. These concrete foundations,
according to rumor, were always dis
covered in positions Command ding
London. or Edinburgh, or Dublin. "All
bosh." says Geneal O'Callaghan, who
Is inclined to be a trifle annoyed at
having to waste his time on such
nonsense" His report to the public
says in part:
Il have had the pleasure for the
past few weeks of assisting Scotland
Yard in the inspection of concrete
Platforms and appraising their dan
ger from military point of view. Since
the discovery of an alleged gum
platform at Willesden, reports of SINH
lar preparations for the bombardment
Of London have been received from all
quarters. To sum up my investiga-
tons. there is no reason to suppose
that the floors or roofs of any factor
les, or tennis courts. constitute in any
way a danger to the public.
Lawn tennis grounds in all direc-
tions have been reported and their
tremendous solidity vouched for by
nervous communities. but all turn out
on examination to be of usual type, six
inches and not six feet thick.
TT would be waste of energy and
ammunition for the enemy to bring
over to England howitzers of the
weight and unwieldiness of his AZ
centimeter howitbers, which are the
only ones requiring concrete plat
form. Any Of the smaller and more
portable howitzers, which are fired off
their wheels. would very much better
serve his purposes"
One OF the factories reported to the
police as suspiciously we'll constructed,
is owned by an American firm. Cen

Victory" at the Majestic.

The worlds greatest and most
spectacular drama in reels was
shown for the first time in Ardmore
yesterday. Judging by the crowds
that attended, this house will be
taxed to its uttermost to accommo.
date those who will want to see it
today.
This picture is entirely different
from any that have been seen here
and words fail to fully describe the
many stirring scenes that take place
almost every minute until by the
time the performance is half over,
spectators are so thoroughly awed
that they sit spellbound until the
end of the picture, which seems to
come all too soon. Among other
things is an intensely interesting
love story and in working out the
plot and coming 20 different eli
MAKES there are numerous land and
naval battles, mine explosions, and
maneuvers by hydropanes. The
camera man took the pictures Of
the hydroplanes up in the air as he
was in another one himself. 1t is
so realistic that the spectator very
nearly has the sensation of flying
through space. 1t can be readily
seen what the cost of production is
in a picture of this kind.
Victory" will be shown one day
today-and those who missed
seeing it last night should avall
themselves of this last opportunity.
The management promises that il
anyone is dissatisfied after seeing it
they can get their money back by
calling at the box office.

he knew nothing about and later pre-

The mayor and council very promptly
turned the bill down and asked the
city attorney to write the company
calling for the original contract. Mr.

At the regular meeting of the city
council last night a mass of business
was disposed of in meeting that
was long drawn out. Aside from the
regular routine the city attorneys re-
port on various cases occupied the at
tention of the board. The city at
torney reported on the cases of the
City VS. /, r. Best and S. S. Cole,
that were tried in the district court
last week, and the verdict was grant
ed the plaintiffs in both cases and
the council instructed him to appeal
the cases to the supreme court In
the case of Loney Lewis VS.. the City,
and Banks King, the city attorney ad-
vised the commissioners to accept
the verdict of the jury and to pay the
Judgment.
The Indian Good Roads Machine
Company claim that has been hanging
fire for a long time, was reported as
settled by the city attorney. This is
the case wherein a former admins
tration bought lot of rock crushing
machinery for the city, giving notes
for the same and were still indebted
to the company in the sum of $4,000.
After a long controversy and cores
pondence covering a period of nearly
year, the present administration
succeeded in getting the company to
take back the machinery and surren-

day and the machine shipped back to
the factory.
