CLERGY AND LAITY UNITE

AZ this convention college presidents

Williams spoke scathingly OF the atti-
trde OF the sccts toward each other
resulting in the paralysis OF much OF
the effort for the higher spiritual well
fare OF children. The denominations
seem to fear, each one. that the others
may gain an advantage. There is need
OF all caring suprcmely for the upbuild-
ing of life. and need Of the churches
being ready to efface themselves in
achieving this service.
The many churches cooperating in
this convention found no ground for
division. but rather great field for
united effort. All can agree on char
acter, and all can cooperate in edu-
cation. 1t is evident to any careful
observer that in this new movement
for religious education the denomina-
tons are finding new bonds that bind
them together. Modern life is fur

Washington, Feb S.-Precedent
for the use of another flag in war
time, as the Lusitania used the
American flag, were cited at the
state department today.
The United States navy regulations
permit the use of foreign flag to
deceive the enemy, but require that
it be hauled down before gun is
fired.
The American cruiser Charleston
used a Japanese flag to approach in

The German cruiser Emden also
used a Japanese flag a few months

Chairman Stone of the foreign re-
lations committee said he believes the

was improper.

Officials of the Oklahoma, New Mex

students from the high school on their

have been defacing their newly paint

not desire to take drastic action with
the pupils, but would be compelled
to do so if the matter was continued.
The right of way is private property
and no one has a right to trespass. 1t
is sometimes convenient to do so,
however, and the company have raised

SAYSLETTER
BANKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED
TO GRANT OVERORAFT ACCOM-
MoDATlONs, ACCORDING TO
LETTER SENT BANKS.

There are to be no more overdrafts
OF accounts with the banks of the
country. The granting of accommo-
dations to customers in the form of
overdrafts as practiced by some banks
is Objectionable to the United States
treasury department according to a
letter sent out to national banks by
the comptroller of the currency.
This practice should cease en-
tirely," says the letter To facilitate
the accomplishment of the result it
has been taken up with the banking
departments of the various states,
and the state banking boards gener-
ally have agreed to cooperate with
the comptroller of the currency. and
the same limitations will be placed
upon state banks as well as upon
national banks.
The comptroller makes the request
OF the banks and that request is
somewhat imperative, that meeting
OF the board of directors be called,
that a resolution be adopted prohibit
ing any officer or employe of the
bank from cashing a check for any
customer when there are no funds
in the bank out of which to pay the
check, and the suggestion goes fur
ther and states that copy of the
resolution shall be forwarded to the
comptroller showing who the direc-
tors are that were present at the
meeting and participated in the
passing of the resolution.
In commenting upon the letter yes
terday one of the Ardmore bankers
said he would not permit any more
overdrafts, that he did not know
just what penalty might be applied.
but 1t could mean the forfeiture of
the bank charter If the practice
were persisted in

LOOKS LIKE
A T0WNS|TE
FIGHT NOW
BUT THINGS MAY CHANGE. RAG
TOWN OR WRIT CITIZENS SAY
THEY WILL NOT MOVE TO DUN
DEE, OTHERS SAY THEY WILL.

What appears to be developing into
townsite squabble is brewing at
Writ or Ragtown, the oil field town
that has grown from few shacks to
village of some proportions within
the past year There seems to have
been some trouble between the own
ers of the site and the renters as to
the price to be paid for the leases, but
it was thought to be settled satisfac-
torily, and that there would be no
move, but now another town site has
been offered them one mile west of
the present town, to be known as Dun
dee, and the talk of moving has been
revived In talking with some of the
citizens of Writ yesterday, they stated
that they knew of but two or three per
sons who were advocating the move,
main where they were for another
year, and many have contracted for
their lease for that and longer period
of time. However, the promoters of
Dundee say that they have sold a.
number of lots and will build a big
ger and better town than Writ and at
tract the business there by their SUI
perior advantages. In the meantime
the bystander who is uninterested,
may stand aside and watch the battle
progress.

which was overlooked by the contest
manager. The error was under the
heading: Distribution Of Premiums"
and was as follows: "The young
lady who turns into The Ardmoreite

London Feb. S.-With the German
and Russian emperors as eye-wit-
nesses, the armies of Russia and
Germany are still contending for the
positions which protect the Polish
capital of Warsaw from the invaders.
The Russian emperor has been at
Russian headquarters for several days
and the German report announces
that the German emperor has joined
his generals and actually has visited
some of the troops in their trenches.
Nothing has been disclosed as to
the progress of the battle, which.
when the last reports were received,
was raging with unabated fury.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-02-08

The Russians, according to Satur-
days official statement, had streng-
thened their positions on the western
bank of the Bzura river, which they
had crossed near its mouth, and cap
tured another German vantage point
They also captured a long line of
German trenches near Boriimow
which has been the center of most
desperate fighting
In east Prussia another big battle
is developing, the Germans having
sent reinforcements, apparently from
their Bzura front to that region. In
the Carpathians, while their right is
advancing, the Russians are only
able to report that their left has
checked the Austro- German often
sive.
With regard to all this fighting,
the German official report simply
says, "No essential events have taken
place"
No further fighting in Egypt is
reported. The Turkish account of
that which has already occurred
there refers to it as an encounter
of vanguards and adds that the bat
ties are still in progress. This. prob
