London, May THE Germans IN
concert with their Austrian allies are
putting forth an effort the extent of
I which never has been approached in
the history of the war
Throughout virtually the whole
length of tse eastern front they are
engaged with the Russians, while in
the west, in addition to their attacks
around Ypres they are on the often

At other points they are being at

Belgians.
Far up in the Russian Baltic prov.
inces, heretofore untouched by war,
the Germans are attempting to ad-

East Prussian frontier they are en-

Russian flank and compel the Rus

es which they gained at such cost
during the winter.
In this western Galician battle the
Germans claim to have made a still
greater advance and to have crossed
the Wisloka river, which is well to
the east of the Dunajec river which
until few days ago formed part of
the Russian front and to have put
their hands firmly on Dukla Pass.
In conjunction with this attack from
the west the Austrians are attempting
to drive the Russians from Lupkow
Pass, further to the east. and with
success, according to the German ac.
count. In all the Germans claim tn
have taken 10000 Russian prisoners
since the offensive was undertaken
last Saturday night.
The Austrians put the number at
more than $4,000, and express the
belief that the whole Russian third
army will be DESTROYED.

London May 1.-THE steamer Lusitana, one of the
wonders of the maritime world for its size and unds
pute speed master of the SEAS carrying 1910 passengers
from New York. torpedoed and sunk today off the
Irish coast.
1t is reported that the passengers were saved, but
this has not yet been confirmed.
The total crew and passengers were nineteen hun
dred persons, including many wealthy and famous peo
pie.
Liverpool dispatch late this evening says, it is not
known there how many saved Most of the reports
gave 233 this afternoon as the time Of the vessels sink
ing.
Some reports indicate that the torpedo hit her half
an hour before the sinking and other reports say she
was hit several hours before sinking
She sank off Knsale, an Irish seaport, thirteen
miles southwest of Cork the entrance of St. Georges
channel between Ireland and England where the Trans
Atlantic vessels pass going to Liverpool.
The passengers included Alfred Vanderbilt, who tore
up message of warning predicting this torpedoing just
before the Lusitana sailed last Saturday. Ebert Hub

THE MAYOR
COMMENTSON
LIGHTS AND ICE
SAYS THAT HE BELIEVES ARD
MORE CITIZENS ARE PAYING
TOO MUCH FOR BOTH ICE AND
LIGHT. WILL INVESTIGATE.

Mayor Mullen states that he thinks
the citizens of the city are being taxed
too heavily by the Ardmore Ice, Light
and Power Company for the electricity
and ice they use, and according to
statement from nm this morning
he is going to take the matter up
see if some relief cannot be granted.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing, the mayor said.
There have been several private
plants installed in this city lately
and | cannot see why the city should
not own plant of its own. For the
month of April the cost of pumping
water for the city was approximately
$3.50 for the electricity used to oper-
ate the pumps, and the bill for lighting
the streets of the city was $3.50, max
ing a total of seven hundred dollars
per month for electricity used by the
city. At this rate the city would
be paying the ice plant $S, 400 per
year, which would be five per cent
interest on $164,0OO. Taking it for
granted that it would take one half of
what the citizens pay to operate the
plant and the depreciation, it would
still give five per cent profit on three
hundred thousand dollars.
The electric plant and the ice plant
combined have only two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars capital stock
This is a matter that comes to the
pocket book of every tax payer in the
city, and | as mayor am going to give
it thorough Investigation"

THIRD WARD <
PUPILS To THE
HIGH SCHOOL
DECISION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
WHO MET YESTERDAY AFTER
NOON. WILL USE VACANT
ROOMS AND. AUDITORIUM.

The school board met yesterday af-
ternoon to decide what disposition
would be made with the pupils of the
third ward school who lost their build
ing in yesterdays storm, for the bal.
ance of the term. The board decided
to utilize the vacant rooms and audi
torium for the remaining three weeks
of the term, and request all teach.
ers and pupils to report to the high
school Monday morning, where they
will be assigned.
As soon as the insurance on the
building is adjusted, the work of re-
pairing it will begin. The insurance
adjusters will be here today and it is
expected that all matters will be set
tied.
President Heffner of the school
board stated this morning that it
would be impossible to have the build
ing ready for occupancy again this
term, and for that reason we're max
ing the best shift possible. 1t is stat
ed that there is ample room in the high
school building for the accommodation
of the third ward pupils.

CITY WAS IN
DARKN { SS
LAST NIGHT
COAL OIL LAMPS AND THE PRiMI-
TIVE CANDLE WERE THE ONLY
: MEANS oF-iLLuMiNATioN. WILL
HAVE REPAIRS MADE TODAY

Last nighth for the first time in a
most total darkness as far as electric
lights were concerned, with the eN-
ception of the two privately owned
plants and what coal oil lamps and
candles that cleaned from houses,
the city was in entire darkness. The
officials at the light and power plant
stated this morning that the necessary
repairs would be completed some time
this afternoon and the lights and pow
er furnished the city. Last night was
partly cloudy and there were many
anxious glances toward the dark cloud
in the southwest just before sundown
last night, but when the sun set in
bright blaze, all fears of another
storm were dispelled.
The mercury dropped rapidly last
night, the maximum yesterday regis.
tered at the local observatory was
81 the minimum 46, the total rainfall
yesterday was 123 inches. The aver
age yearly rainfall for this section is
- to 36 inches to date nearly half
this amount has been reached.
Reports from over this section of
the state today are to the effect that
the principal damage done by yester-
days storm was in this county, Ard
more being the heaviest looser. No
loss of life has been reported and no
other serious accidents but those re-
ported yesterday. All patients injur-
ed yesterday are getting along nicely.
In the storm district east of the San
ia Fe tracks in the fourth ward, a
mother had an exciting experience
with her infant child. When the
storm struck the house and demolished
it, she became separated from her
child which was located later under
meath a mattress, unhurt, the mother
Mrs. Thornton, was so frightened that
although she knew where the baby
was, she could moi tell the neighbors
and only after a search was the child
discovered by some boys and restored
to its mother.
1t was reported that heavy storm
prevailed north of the city in the vi
cinity of Springer, but reports from
there last night do not confirm this
rumor. A heavy rain fell in that neigh
borhood, but there was no wind to
speak Of The furthest point north
the storm reached in this city seems
to have been at the dairy of l.. West,
where silo was blown down, but
nothing else in that neighborhood was
disturbed.
Insurance adjusters are in the city
today and the property owners who
suffered yesterday, have been at work
cleaning up the debris and getting
ready to rebuild
While the property loss in the city
was heavy yesterday, every citizen
considers the city fortunate indeed
that an appalling loss of life did not
follow in the wake of the storm.
