WINGED SOLDIERS CARRY WAR

BERLIN, Jan. 20. (via wireless to
Sayvi!le, I. i.}-British cargo boats
stroyers for fear Of German subma-
issued tonight by the German Press
bureau. The basis for the informa-
tion was cited as an article in the
Amsterdam HandeisbIat. The Han
delsbiat says the British admiralty
has apparently taken official cogniz-
ance of the general belief In England
that torpedoinq of merchantmen dur
ing the war was Germany's first blow
in starving the British out, suggested
by Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz In his
interview accorded Karl II. Won Vie
gand of the United Press early in De-
cenber. On that occasion, Won Ttr-
pirtz suggested submarine raids on all
merchantmen supplying England
with food. Mo information regarding
the conveying Of cargoes by war YES
sells could be obtained from London
tonight 1t is assumed the censor
ship would not pass messages re-
sarding the matter.
RECKLESS SACRIFICE.
BERLIN, Jan. 23.-French lives
are being sacrificed reckIessiy in a
hopeless attempt to reach the Rhine
in lower Alsace, official dispatches
declare tonight. Three days Of inces-
SAINT cannonading from their position
near HartmannsweiIer have failed to
bring the French any advantage. Dar-
ing infantry dashes, in which the
French troops were slaughtered as
they came sliding down the Icy hill
sides, resulted in no gains. The hand
to hand bayonet combats in the val
leys west OF MuIhausen have cost
many lives on both sTctes, but the
French have not advanced q yard.
Each fresh French onslaught aimed
in the direction Of the Rhine is being
turned back by flank movement d.
rected at the northern end Of the
French line. With the present Ger
man force operating in AIsace. the
success Of this form of counter at
tack can be continued indefinitely,
military men declare.

Retire Into Greece.

London, Dec. 13-The Anglo-French
troops, who last week began retire
ment' from their advanced positions
in southern Serbia, are now ap-
preaching, if they have not crossed
the Greek frontier, and the attitude
Greece will adopt becomes more and
more important.
Dispatches from Athens and news
available in London indicate that the
matter, which was left to the Greek
and allied military authorities at
Saloniki, is being amicably arranged
and that the allies will be allowed
to retire to that city without any in
terruption on the part of the Greeks
and will be permitted to remain there.
Questions which are seriously oc-
cupying the Greek government have
to do with the use of the railways,
which are needed for the Greek
troops, and the damage that might
be done to them, with the object OF
lIlptHulAS bulgarian pursuit, SHOulu
the Sofia government decide that the
British and French are to be fol-
lowed into Greek territory. The Greek
government has good evidence of the
effective manner in which the French
destroy railways in the work done
along the line north of the Greek
frontier. SO well was this accom-
plished that the Bulgarians were
greatly delayed, having to use roads
covered with snow, with the result
that the French escaped almost un-
scathed
The British, who had advanced
farther from the railway to the north
east of Lake Doiran, had much
more difficult feat to accomplish in
retirement and suffered more heav-
lily. They were faced by greatly SUI
perior forces and, according to an Of
fetal report issued tonight, their sue
cessful withdrawal to position ex-

THACKERv|LLE:
IS A THRIVING
LITTLE TOWN
BEST FRUIT AND MELON SECTION
OF THE STATE is MAKING RAP
I'D AND SUBSTANTIAL PROG
RESS.

Jess Holland of Oil City, was in
Ardmore today, en- route from Thack-
erville to his home Mr. Holland was
formerly a resident of Thackerville,
and states that it is one of the most
thriving little towns in the state.
Thackerville has ten stores and other
business houses in proportion, includ-
ing a gin and blacksmith shop. Mr.,
Holland states that since he left there,
the farmers throughout that section
are rapidly becoming land owners in
stead of tenants and that they are
building better houses and barns than
ever the old settlers enjoyed.
Thackerville and vicinity is noted
for the quality and size of the water
melons grown, and there is no finer
fruit country in the state, than that
section.
Tomatoes are shipped from there to
the north Texas markets and this item
alone is the source of a great deal of
income to the farmers in that vicinity.
Mr.. Holland states that Thackerville
and vicinity is to be congratulated
upon its progress, and looks to see
the town grow to be the largest in
Love county.

London, Dec. 13.-The Bul-
g. -aaa lave pressed Che
French and British forces back
to vi..iu five miles Of the
Croeh border, according to o
dj.pa,ca from Ga,oriEi, which
says tlat Doi1an and Gievgeli
have been evacuated by the en-
tente forces.
The Bulgarians are close on
the heels Of the retreating
troops. Fear Of a Bulgarian in
vasion Of Greece is becoming
general.
Berlin reports that the Fran
co-British army has been en-
tirely driven out of Macedonia
and that two British divisions
were almost wiped out in the
fighting.
1t is said that German and
Austr0- Hungarian submarines
have sunk sos ships to date, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Ber-
lin.

What the next move will be is
brown only to the. allied stats but
it is generally believed that the An
glo-French forces will fall right back
to Saloniki, where roinforcements arr

There also are reports that the allies
have landed a division as Kayala,
ninety miles along the coast from
Saloniki and near the Bulgarian from
tier, but there is no confirmation.
If true, the object doubtless is to
secure the railway and prevent the
Bulgarians from sending troops west
ward into Greece.
The o-Hungarians continue
their attacks on the Serbians in the
Albanian mountains and on the Mon
tenegrins in their hills, but appaL
emily their advance is much slower
than in Serbia, the positions being
easier to defend.
Dispatches from Petrograd indicate
the Germans are withdrawing their
center to the Bug river line, which,
however at many places is consid-
erably northeast of that river. This
withdrawal is due to their inability
to secure complete control of the
Ida Baranovitchi Rovno railway,
which was necessary for the sue

HOTEL RUM0RS

{ EACH D AY
6. A. APPLE STATES THAT A
HOTEL WILL BE BUILT IN THIS
CITY ADEQUATE TO NEEDS
OF TRAVELLING PUBLIC.

You can state that | am going
to see that a big hotel is erected in
this city adequate to the needs OF
Ardmore for many years to come,
but | am not prepared to tell you
just where the building will be To-
Gated, or what it viii cost" said S. A.
Apple this morning when asked what
the hotel committee of the Chamber
of Commerce had accomplished since
the last meeting. Mr.. Apple stated
positively that a company could be
formed if an individual did not build
the hotel, and a modern structure
erected if an individual did not build
the hotel, and modern structure
erected that would be conducted in
such a manner as to attract travelling
men to spend their Sundays here.
There seems to be two sites under
consideration, and the rumor has be-
come current that they have made
an offer to the Elks for their build
ing. The two sites further mention
ed are the Hudson-Houston property
and the lot at the corner of Main
and c streets. The corner of Broad
way and Washington streets would
seem to be the most logical of the
three places contemplated. as it is
accessible to both depots, and close
to the business center of the city.
The committee will report at the
MONDAY luncheon Thursday just what
it has accomplished.
