1t is much along the lines consid-

The same senator introduced a

COM
PLETE FOR
AUTO MEET
BAND HAS BEEN SECURED, THE
SPEAKERS ARE READY, AND
ALL ARE ENTHUSIASTIC FOR
SUCCESS OF THE BIG "A. A. A."

1t seems hardly necessary to make
another mention of the big Automo-
bile Association meeting which will
take place tonight at Central Park, for
owner who has been seen, appears to
be most enthusiastic and strongly in
favor of the Ardmore Automobile AS
sociation.
Judge Harreld, who is a member of
the temporary arrangements commit
tee, stated this morning that a string
band had been secured and would be
on hand early to enliven the moments
while the crowd is gathering and here
let it be said incidentally, that it is not
necessary for you to own an automo-
bile. If you are interested in good
roads, if you are interested in the
plans for bringing the Ocean-to-Ocean
| Highway through Ardmore and Carter
County-yes, if you are interested in
your home, if you are possessed of that
civic pride which is the very founda-
ton of prosperity, you will be there
tonight, listen to the plans to be out
| lined-briefly-by the speakers-and,
get in the 'band-wagon" and boost.
We understand that there will be
some arrangements made for people
who do not own autos. to become
members of the association, either, in
| the way of an honorary membership,
or in some other manner to be de-
| cided upon at meeting for consid.
| Grafton and adoption of bylaws.
The plan suggested by the commit.
tee on arrangements of having all the
automobiles in the county gathered
about the park square, with headlights
focused upon the the band stand, alone
will produce scene novel and worth
coming to see. So again, we say, come,
come early. 1880 p. m. is the hour
set for the gathering, and from then on
it will be the liveliest, most interest.
ing and, beyond a doubt, the most
auspicious occasion this city and coun-
ty have witnessed for many day.
If the weather conditions should
change for the worse, and it should be
raining at the hour for which the
meeting has been called, it will be
postponed to Thursday night at 1880
oclocgk.

This afternoon at six o'clock motor

the fair grounds race track when five
mile race is staged between one Of
our local speed merchants and
couple of contenders from Galveston.
Interest in this race has developed
wonderfully since the announcement
was made yesterday, and if weather
conditions are good, no doubt large
crowd will be out to see them go. I'm
til quite recently no interest has ever
been manifested in the racing game
here, but from now on it promises to
be keen, and several opportunities
will be given to see the auto and mo-
torcycle in action, as the Ardmore
Automobile Association at their meet
ing tonight will probably make ar
rangements for a fall meet here.
The races this afternoon start
promptly at six o'clock. and with pres
ent weather conditions, should be fast.

Mrs. Barr has a brother who is

Tough to be with his sister and her
husband Mr.. Barr states that they Wis
tied Juarez, Mexico, and found things
in the Mexican city in a chaotic condi-
ton He states that of the population
of El Paso at present estimated at
10000, at least twO-thirds are MeXi-
cans. Many of the better class of Mex
leans took refuge in that city when
war devastated their own country, but
there is a large per cent of low caste
MeXicans that are dangerous. He saw
some of the Villa troops while there
and says that a self-respecting ban
dit would not condescend to associate
with them. They are of the very low
est order, and totally unacquainted
with soap and water, but, with their
skins full of mescal, are dangerous
to friend and foe alike. Mr.. Barr
thinks the Mexican situation is one
that eventually is going to require the
strong hand of president Wilson to
solve.

The whole q stro-German forces have
been strivhT. to gain this railway
since the fall 2, the Polish fc'tresses.
The cffensiv> 2, 'hich began toward
the end of las eek, was carried
on from three dir = ons upon Dvinsll
and the railway on her side of the
town, while farther ,uth the invad-
ers advanced toward Wilma. The Rus
slams before superior forces. supplied
with the usual mass of artillery, were
Sunday forced back to the lake dis
trict, which the railway penetrates,
and are now making a stand there.
simultaneously the Germans pushed
their way eastward toward Slonim
and Pinsk, both Of which are on roads
which join the main railway line,
while the Austrians, with whom there
are many German units, are fighting
lard to reach Rovno, the southern
terminus OF tne line.
With This railway part.y' II the
Lands of the Germans it is probable
that the Russians will be compelled
to make a further retiren ent, al
though their offensive in Galicia,
which continues, might save Them by
compelling the Germans to send re-
Inducements to this region.
There is now no doubt of Russian
success in this district, as following
the Austrian admission of their re-
trement the Germans announced last
right that after repulsing Russian at
tacks they occupied "a favorable posi-
ton situated some kilometers west of
our former position"
The conditions under which the
troops are fighting in the marshy
countrv in the center and on the
southern end of the line are described
by German correspondents as most
terrible. The country is virtually all
under water, through which the Aus.
tro-Germans have had to advance
against well prepared Russian posi-
tions. On the eastern bank of the

are delivering their counter-attacks, IS

counts nearly 10000 prisoners have

marked by the continuance of the
great artillery duel between guns of
all calibers along the entire front
how has been going on for nearly
three weeks, and during the weekend
has been particularly violent around
Arras, in the Argonne and Cham
pagne.
At several points the German in
fantry after a heavy bombardment
attempted to storm the advanced

failed. Fighting of a somewhat SINH
