1.-THE BATTLE IS THE LORO'S."

This war has given the greatest blow to the drink traffic the world has ever known. While empires are tottering, statesmen and people are beginning to realize the dangers of all cohol, and all nations are recommend ing total abstinence to their soldiers" says Miss Agnes E. Slack of England, honorary secretary of the Worlds w. c. T. U. AS one magazine writer well puts it: That some of the cruel consequences of war should be unex- pectedly offset by q great social and economic reform is one of the ironies of circumstances"
 The stars in their courses are fight ing for the destruction of the liquor traffic.

PUT AWAY THE GlNMlLLS.

This is the way the "Line-O Type or Two" column of the Chicago Trib une sizes up the situation:
 If one is charitably disposed-as most of us are-he had better keep away from the poor parts of the city, and mediate at long range on the Nothing more quickly dries the springs of sympathy than the sight of a string of ginmills doing a thriving business. Here swarm the heads of families to fling away their wages, and we are asked to commiserate and support their wretched progeny"

MOST VALUABLE ASSET.

The most valuable asset of any state and nation is it's people. The wisest financiering is that which will save the people from drunkenness, poverty and crime and all the natural products of the liquor traffic. A state or nation can make no mistake even from a monetary standpoint in dissociating it. N. Stevens.

TAXPAYERS BEGINNING TO SEE

The liquor traffic costs more each year than our whole civil service, our army, navy and congress; the river, harbor and pension bills; all we pay for local government; all national, state and county debts; and all the schools in the country. In fact, this government pays more for liquor than for every kind of government.-Lillia M Mitchell, president Kansas W. c. T. U.

THE SUBURBS
is THE CRY OF MANY RESIDENTS
WHO APPLAUD THE PRESIDENT
OF THE CHAMBER OF CON-
MERGE FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.

In Yesterdays issue of the Ardmore-
ite an open letter was addressed to
the mayor and board of city commits
sioners by the president of the cham
Der of commerce asking that some ac-
tion be taken to repair the broken
pavement on the main or paved dis
trict, aud also suggest that the streets
in the suburban districts and the resi-
dent districts beg raveled the same as
several are in southwest ArdmOre.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Mullen, pres
ident of the chamber of commerce
stated that if the city would use the
convicts that the city and county are
feeding in idleness, and also get their
share of the state convicts from Nc
Alester, which the county is entitled
to, and which can be done, If proceed
ings are instituted after rules laid
down by the law, every street in the
residence district would soon be grav-
eled and as fine as those in the vic:ni
ty of the third ward school building,
which are better than some paved
streets.
Mr. Mullen suggested that the COM
missioner of streets and alleys get in
touch with the state highway depart
mpnt relative to state COnyicts that
the county is entitled to, he thought
that some real good could be accom-
plished. The chamber of commerce
is determined to see that some action
is taken" repeated Mr.. Mullen. "to
see that the paved streets are re-
paired. and we hope to get all the
streets graveled in the near future.
Gravel streets are not very eXpeneiye
and very few property owners would
object to paying for them, whereas
they are not so anxious to pay for 9th
er paving"
The streets referred to in the third
ward were put lown last year by com
missioner Carter and are in fine con
dition, they are nearly as firm as paw
ing. and no matter how heavy the
rainfall is they drain themselves read
lily. The heavy rains Of this season
have not affected them in the least.

tions which will enable them to de-
tach forces for operations against
Italy and the allies in the west,
Whether or not they accomplish
this, the Teutonic allies have won a
great victory, and with suddenness
which overshadows all past operations
of the war. 1t was only ten weeks
ago that Przemysl fell before the
Russians after a six months invest
ment which was interrupted for a
short time in November by an Aus
trian advance. With the surrender
OF the fortress there fell into the
Russian hands, according to official
reports, about 10000 Austrians and
500 guns and an immense amount of
war material. Most of the forts, how
ever, had been completed destroyed
by the Austrians before they sur
rendered. and this is considered in
military circles here to account for
the fact that the fortress succumbed
so quickly to the Austro- German
attack.
When the Russians captured Prem
ysl they were pressing the Austrians
across the Carpathan passes. Then
on May 3 came the news OF a great
Austro-German thrust into Galicia.
Advancing slowly but surely, and ac-
companed by a thousand guns. the
Teutons compelled the Russians to
fall back until the Russian line ran
to the right bank of the river San.
Crossing the river the Austro- German
forces progressed to the north and
south of the fortress and on Tuesday
Berlin announced three forts to the
north had been stormed. while Vienna
stated that the railway between
Przemysl and Lemberg was com
manded by Austrian guns.
There was still hope in the allied
countries, however, that a Russian
counter offensive would hold the in.
