Martyred Captain Leaves Tes-
timony of Awful Hardships.
SHELL ENDS HIS NOTE TAKING
Diary Reveals His Pathetic
Plea for Help.
Shows Terrific Effect of French
Fire at LOrette.

Paris, June AN account of the
fighting in the vicinity of Notre Dame
de Lorette, as written down by a Ger
man officer, Captain Sievert, in his
note book, is given out today in the re-
cital of the Eve witness at the
front
The purpose is to serve as a com
pariSOn with the French official state
ment concerning combats in this vi
cinity.
Captain Sievert, the author, was
killed. His body was one of 1000
found on the slopes of Rette, and his
notebook covers the fighting from May
10. the day after the French attack,
up to May 20. the date the captain
was killed.
An order issued on the evening of
May provided for the holding of the
positions on the plateau of Lorette
and along the Ablain-Carency line
To carry out these instructions Cap
tain Sievert was able to dispose of one
battalion of only 272 men, one
third of its normal fighting strength.
before going into battle. His notebook
contains repeated demands for nclp.
Cry for Hand Grenadcs.
I'VE absolutely need supply of
hand Srenades,' is an entry in the
diary under date of May IL. The
number, Captain Seivert said, was in
sufficient, and he could not carry out
MS attack. Furthermore, the lack OF
projectiles prevented all chances of
success.
Later there was more trouble for
the captain. Orders were badly given
and confusion of sectors made neceS-
sary marches and counter-marches
under French artillery fire.
THE way from Souchez to Ablain
is impracticable,' the captain wrote,
exposing us to incessant artillery fire.
Ablain, like Souchez. is nothing but d
heap of ruins. Our guide is unable to
lead us further, and wet with sweat
we grOpe along. The situation is des-
perate. Our men decamp at each she'll
which falls and it is necessary to
threaten them with courtmartial.'
Reinforcements failed 10 arrive,
there were further difficulties, and
Captain Sievert wrote the situation
was hopeless.
French Destroy Trenches.
The last page of his diary was writ
ten at 10 p. M, May 20 In it the
captain said:
The bombardment today complete
~ destroyed what remained of our
rcnehes. The men have been without
support for three days. 1t is impos-
sible to hold this position with such a
eebIe force l ask that an officer
be sent here to report on the situation.

of the 111th regiment be placed at

frightful, especially that of the heavy
guns. We can hear the projectiles of

Other Items of General Interest
in the Railroad World.

If earnings of the Rock Island SyS-
tenn. in the current quarter, show no
decided gain over the corresponding
quarter of last year, present indica-
statement will record a deficit of ST.
100000. April and May are low earn
ing months in the Rock Islands fiS-
cal year, being prone to run behind in
taking care of their proportion of the
yearly burden. Last year, for instance,
they cut down the years balance of
income by approximately $1,200,000.
June usually runs modestly the other
way and in 1914 the quarter had a
deficit of roughly s1,00O,O0O.
The trend of business is not such as
to forecast any betterment for the
final quarter, and the preceding nine
months closed rather lamely so that a
bad quarter statement would be add
ing to a situation already unSatiSfac-
tory.
For March a deficit was reported of
about a quarter of a million dollars
which was some $4,000 or 100000
greater than the surplus reported for
the preceding eight months.
In the current year, the Rock Island
has suffered by a large diminutiOn of
it's other income, heavy addition to
interest charges, and large debit bal
ance for hire of equipment. In the
face of these developments it has been
fortunate for the system that revenues
from freight traffic have been decid-
edly beyond those of the previous
years.
In nine months freight revenue
amounted to s37,O92,697, an increase
of $2,823,601 over the same period in
1914. The latter, however, was an I'M
usually bad year for the Rock Island.
But at that, freight earnings exceeded
previous years. whereas passenger
earnings this year are behind not only
1914 but 1918.
Although gross operating revenues
for the three quarterly periods were
ahead of 1914, by some So, 900, the
gain over 1913 was but $415,00o. OBJ
viously, if this is to figure as the Rock
Islands banner year in volume of bus
mess the gain over the best previous
year is comparatively small

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and entirely greaSeless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an album
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
OIL The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last every one in the
family for months.-Adv.

Here the tragic note of Captain
Sievert comes to an end.
This diary, says the Eyewitness, in

French artillery and infantry. At the
same time it shows the superhuman
efforts Germany is obliged to demand
of it's army. and this even before the
participation of Italy, which, on a
new front, will hereafter take part in
the siege of German and Austrian

CREATORE REVIEW.

Creatore's actions are emotional.
His face is immovable. The Italian
bandmaster romped around the stage
at the Grand Tuesday night and the
result was wonderful. The instru-
ments blended in perfect harmony un-
der the direction of the musical Ital-
ian and the small house showed it's
appreciation by calling for several
encores-
"Semiramide,' by Rossini, made a
great hit as did the Barcarole from
the Tales of Hoffman. Perhaps the
most finished part of the program
was the Sextette from Lucia, in which
instrumental soloists, aided by the
hand rendered that beautiful piece so
we'll that it closed with almost thun-
derous applause. The program ended
with a selection from Carmen 81.

ANOTHER EXTENSION RUMoR.
Report That Santa Fe Will Buy One
Man Railroad.

Is the one man railroad in Hodge
man county to be put to use? Ac-
cording to the Dodge City Globe, a
Dodge City man was recently told by
a Santa Fe painter that the latter had
just received orders to paint jet
more on the west end of the Jetmore
depot. The Santa Fe branch now
stops just opposite the depot and the
Dodge City man has figured out that
the new order may mean that trains
will be coming in from the west of
Jetmore some time soon.
There are now seven miles of grade
built by an old German, who has been
working alone for years and who re-
fuses to give an explanation of why
he started a railroad grade out on the
prairie.

BARGAIN DAY
IN ARDMORE
WAS SUCCESS
PLEASED WIT TIL
MANNER OF PUBLICITY CAM
PAlGN AND WITH RESULTS
ACHIEVED.

Bargain day in Ardmore, the first
of its kind ever held in the city,
proved to be an unqualified success.
The city was thronged with shoppers
from early morning until six o'clock
when the sale was called off and all
signs taken down. Whole families
came in droyes and trade from as far
off as Tishomingo was reported by
some of the merchants.
The shoppers seemed perfectly sat
isfied and the merchants eminently
so, and the following few brief inter
views reflect the general sentiment
of the merchants of the city:
President Kruger of the Mer-
chants association: ut was an un-
qualified success"
Vice-President Harreld of the
Chamber of Commerce: ut looked
like Saturday. The crowds came.
and they all seemed pleased and in
good humor when they left"
Henry Baum: ut shows what ad
vertising will do when done right.
| had a splendid day, and the Mer-
chants association has certainly won
a success"
Dave Daube, of Westheimer &
Daube: Il was a little skeptical when
the idea was first suggested, but |
am ready to shell the corn. 1t was
great success. We had splendid
day. 1t started the ball rolling for
Christmas shopping"
Mr.. Ringer, of Ringer Drug COM
pany: "It was just as | expected,
except that it exceeded my expecta-
tions. We must have another"
Mr.. Burnitt: "Fine. | had great
day and hope everybody is as well
satisfied as I am and as | tried to
make my customers"
Jess Lane: at just demonstrates
what can be done by organization.
The advertising was thorough and
clean, and the people had confidence
in it, so they came. They will come
again, as | believe all left with a
good taste in their mouths
Walter S. Gilbert, secretary of the
Merchants association, who promoted
the plan, did not think any comment
was necessary from him, but said:

shoppers are satisfied. That's all it
takes to promote proper commercial

OVER GOOD DINNER AT CALL

The second monday luncheon of
the Chamber of Commerce demon.
started without doubt the wisdom of
the change of policy and the popular.
ity of the innovation. Nearly one
hundred members were in their seats
when the clock registered the noon
hour, and the California cafe, where
the repast was served, discarded the
luncheon idea and served a ban
mented on by most all of those pres
ent.
S A. Apple reported progress on
the hotel matter and said his COM
mittee wa. figuring with several prop
ositions, all of which called for LEGAL
financial interest. He predicted,
however, that when the matter is in
concrete shape that no difficulty will
be experienced, and that hotel suf
ticient for the needs of the city for
years would be built. Further time
was granted the committee.
=. A. Simpson, of the road COM
mittee, asked for further time. He
had not fully gone into the legal
status of the question. Judge Har-
reid, however, supplemented Mr..
Simpsons report by saying that a
bond issue for roads was impossible
under the present status and that
a committee should be appointed to
get the matter before the next legis-
lature for such a law to be passed.
Judge Harreld, w. B. Johnson, and
former Mayor Cotner We're appointed.
Kirk Dyer, of the membership COM
mittee, reported having secured 1O2
new members, and asked for dismiss
al of his committee, recommending
that a new committee be appointed
which was done. The new committee
chairman is ]. f. Hamilton, who will
appoint his co-laborers.
Mayor Mullen made report on the
municipal gas line, and stated that
the cost would be in the neighbor-
hood of a quarter of a million dol
lars. He said assurances from the
present gas company officials had
been secured for adequate service to
meet all demands, and asked eXten-
sion of time until Jan. Is.
Frank Garland, farm demonstration
agent for Marshall county, made a
short, optimistic talk, urging co-opera-
tion between business men and
farmers.

SUBSTITUTE
TRACT0RSF0R
ANIMAL {
COUNTY COMM SSIONERS ARE
CONTEMPLATING PURCHASE OF
THREE TRACTORS FOR ROAD
WORKING OPERATIONS.

The big tractor show at Enid last
fall put many progressive farmers
to thinking seriously of substituting
them for horses and mules on the
farm. Several progressive farmers
of this county have already made pur-
chases of tractors, and the indica-
tions point to the fact that many
more will be purchased the coming
year.
The Board of County Commission
ers has practically decided to pur-
chase three tractors,-one for each
commissioners district, for the pur-
pose of operating road-making ma
chinery in place of horses and mules,
now employed in this work. At the
last meeting of the commissioners,
this matter was discussed at some
length, but no definite action was
taken. Chairman Taliaferro of the
board reports that in all probability
the order for the machines will be
placed at the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Taliaferro has some interesting
figures on the cost of maintenance
of the tractor and horses of a like
power, and thinks he can convince
the taxpayers that it will be a paying
proposition to substitute the machines
for horses and mules in the future.
