Spain Becomes Aroused.

Madrid, via Paris, Nov. 1.-THE al.
legged shooting of five Spaniards by
German soldiers at Liege and the bonn
bardment of the Spanish consulate at
Rheims were the subjects of a lively
debate in the Cortez Friday. Deputy
Santa Cruz declared that the govern
ment did nothing to protect Spain S
subjects and said it was especially
shameful that General Huerta, former
provisional president of Mexico, after
shooting so many Spaniards, should be
permitted to live in Spain The foreign
minister, Eduardo Dato, in reply, said
that the German government had prom
ised to investigate the Liege affair.
Deputy Sorriano said Germany should
be required to pay an indemnity.

THIRD LARGEST BRITISH WAR
SHIP SUNK BY MINE OR ToRPE-
DO OFF NORTH IRISH COAST.
CREW WAS RESCUED
With Exception of One or Two, En-
tire Crew of Over Eight Hundred
Men was Rescued by Steamer olym-
pic, which was Close by.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE British SUI
per-dreadnaught Audacious, the third
largest British warship, less than two
years old, lies at the bottom of the
Atlantic, sunk either by a mine or a
torpedo, off the North Irish coast, on
October 81
Except one or two, the entire crew
of over eight hundred was rescued by
the steamer Olympic. This was the
cause of the Olympic's mysterious
movements, the day when the discov-
cry of the Irish mine field was an
nounced.
The news arrived here today by mail
from North Ireland. The Audacious
was hit at nine in the morning Wire
less summoned the Olympic, which
was less than ten miles away, in a
few minutes. The Olympic rushed at
full speed for the Audacious, with her
crew ready at the life boats. Volun-
teerS we're summoned from tne Olym-
pics passengers to assist the Olym-
pic crew.
The Audacious was hit near the
stern and began settling, stern first,
about noon. The vessel, however, did
not sink until nine that night, when
an explosion occurred due probably to
shells falling as she dipped stern first.
The explosion killed one man, whom
a bit of armor plate hit.
The sinking occurred twenty-five
miles off the coast. The Olympic crew
and passengers were warned to keep
the accident a secret

WINS SPECIAL
PRIZE FOR THE
PAST WEEK
MISS EMMA MOOREHEAD SHOWS
LARGEST INCREASE AND GETS
HANDSOME SILVER MESH BAG
IN RETURN.

Miss Emma Moorehead in District
No was the fortunate contestant the
past week in that she showed a gain in
votes over her count of the previous
week of 2000 per cent, and on that rec
ord the judges decided that she was
entitled to the handsome silver mesh
bag that was put up as special prize
to the young lady who made the
| largest gain in votes for the week.
Miss Holly Craddock showed an in
crease of almost 200 per cent and
would have won the bag had it been
given for the largest number of votes
turned in, as she placed to her credit
over $4,000 votes, but the prize was
given, as advertised to the one show
ing the largest increase. There are
several of the young ladies who de-
serve special mention, and their names
appear in the page ad which is run
elsewhere in this issue. Look over the
list, candidates, and if your standing
is not up to standard, and If you do
not head the list from your district,
il is because someone has worked
just little harder than you have.
There is not young lady in this coun-
test whom we believe to be laggards,
and from the amount of interest some
of them are showing, we feel sure that
some new leaders may be expected in
the near future. You can make your
self leader. Let this thought impress
itself upon you: 81 want to be at the
head of the list in my district" and if
you wish and work for it hard enough,
your anticipation WILL become real
ization.
Last week was a hummer in re-
gard to the work done by contestants.
A regular hummer 1t looks as if the
candidates were crazy about the expo
sition. There are a mighty nice lot
OF candidates. People whom we are
proud to enumerate among our friends.
They are good, sensible people who
know a good thing when they see it,
and the manner in which they have
interested the public, is a caution. The
public is also taking to this contest
like a duck to water.
They know they get one hundred
cents in value for every dollar they
spend and they appreciate the gen.
erosity Of spending all the money nee
essary to provide these prizes. The
people are proud of the enterprise so
displayed and areg lad of the oppor-
tunity afforded to stamp their APPROX
al on it..
Let's make this a lucky week. Let's

WILL ENTERTAIN THE ELkS.
Ardmore Will Have Opportunity to
Entertain 3. p. o. e.

L. V. Mullen will call a meeting
of business men to be held Tuesday
night, to discuss the matter of rails
ing whatever funds are needed for
the entertainment of the Elks, in
state convention here next May.
Ardmore is one of the best equipped
cities in the state to entertain the
Elks. The hall here is all that could
be desired. The large lakes and
club houses will add their quota to
the entertainment and pleasure of
the occasion, and the Elks have a
knack of entertaining themselves
when they get together. The Elk
learns, once a year, to leave business
behind and to attend to the busi-
ness of the lodge, mixed with a rea-
sonable portion of relaxing amuse-
ments. No other city could give the
Elks Just such a welcome as Ardmore
can give them. Ardmore people
who are not Elks are always gen.
erous with them for the reason that
the Elks are always generous with
the people when there are persons
here to be entertained.
The ladies of the city will also
take an active interest in the COM
ing convention, and they will con-

Eyes on East Prussia

London, Nov 14.-While the battle
in West Flanders continues to hold
public attention because of the desper-
ate character of the fighting, the num-
Der of men engaged and the territory
at stake, military men now look upon
East Prussia as the center of gravity
of the war
In the latter field of operations, a
tremendous battle is developing. The
Russians are pushing vigorously a
great enveloping movement. They are
engaged with the Germans along a
wide curve of $50 miles from Stallup-
omen in the northeast, through Col
dap and Kruglanken, which is well
within the tangles of lakes, down to
Soldau in the southwest.
Military observers say the Germans
have apparently checked their retreat
in Poland and by counter attacks are
endeavoring to create a diversion.
They say, however that the Russians
are not to be turned from their plan,
which is believed to be an attack on
Danzig. They argue that the Germans
either must allow East Prussia to be
overrun a second time or bring up re-
Inducements, and that they can hard
ly weaken their army along the Polish
frontier, for that would leave Posen
and Silesia open to invasion. The al
lies, naturally are hoping an effort
will be made to relieve East Prussia
at sacrifice to the German armies in
Belgium and France.
In any fighting in their own terri
tory the Germans will have the advant-
age over the Russians, as they have
a network of strategic railways to
move their troops quickly and they use
motors to a larger extent than their
opponents. Military men are watching
operations in this region with deep
est interest.
In West Flanders the Germans do
not seem to have improved their po-
sition to any marked extent In fact,

BISHOP MURRAH PRESIDING
BIG ATTENDANCE EXPECTED.

The West Oklahoma Conference of

convene in annual session at Chick
asha Wednesday, November IS, with
Bishop w. B. Murrah of Mississippi
presiding. This conference covers the
territory west of the east boundary
line of Love, Carter, Murray, Gar

the east boundary of Pottawatomie

lahoma side, and from this confer
ence, all pastors will be supplied

Among; the places to be affected
by change will be the Ardmore
district, Broadway, Marietta, and
Chickasha, whose pastors and pre-
siding elders have filled out their
allotted time and must go.
The Indian mission conference was
changed in 1906 to the Oklahoma
conference at Tulsa, and was divided
into the east and west Oklahoma
conference at the next session, which
was held in this city four years ago.
In 1901 the conference met at
Chickasha, but at the present confer
ence, less than 20 per cent of the
preachers who were members of the
conference, will be there at this time.
Rev. w. T. Freeman of the Carter
Avenue Methodist church, and c. w.
Clay of this city, were transfers at
that conference.
Quite a number of local Metho-
dists will attend the conference at

some time the air craft circled about
each other, rising and descending,
while machine guns spattered bullets
among them. Suddenly the four allied

by the Germans who perceived the
perils of the situation only when the
shrapnel burst among them In a few
minutes the German machines crashed
