To De ADDED
FIVE ACRES ABOUT STANDPlPE
WILL BE IMPROVED AND SHADE
TREES PLANTED BY THE PARK
BOARD, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The city owns five acres of land
surrounding the standpipe, northwest
of the city limits, and the mayor sug-
gested to the park board this morning
that they take some steps toward
improving it, and making an attract
i've park. The board Will take the
matter up at once and see what they
can accomplish in the way of making
beauty spot out of the land.
The mayor suggested thet the land
be plowed, Bermuda grass set out
this fall, and shade trees set within
the park and along each side, as well
as flower gardens, and, if practical,
a fountain.
The park board Immediately began
taking steps to see what can be done
about the matter this year. If their
plans are carried out, in five years
this will be a most attractive spot.

Germany to Make Amends


Berlin, Aug. 26.-The Associated
Press correspondent is in a position
to state on the best of authority that
the Arabic incident may be considered
eliminated as a cause Of discord be-
tween Germany and America, at least
so far as Germany is concerned.
Germany, desiring to continue
friendly relations with the United
States, adopted before the sinking Of
the Arabic policy designed to settle
completely the whole submarine prob
lem, as affecting America, on the basis
of good will and mutual understand
ing.
The instructions to the submarine
commanders were to give America ms
opportunity of safe escape from all
torpedoed boats. If it develops that
the commander violated these instruc-
tons in the Arabic case, ample repara-
ton will be offered.
The imperial chancellor made the
following statement of Germany's po-
sition on the sinking of the Arabic last
night:
"As long as the circumstances sur
rounding the sinking or the Arabic
have not been fully cleared up, it is
impossible for me to make a definite
statement. Thus far we have received
no report about it, Now we do not
even know whether the sinking of the
ship was caused by mine or by tor
pedo fired from German submarine,
nor do we know whether in this lat
ter case the Arabic herself may not by
her actions perhaps have justified pro-
ceedings of the commander of the sub
marine.
"Only after all these circumstances
have been cleared up, will it be pos
sible to say whether the commander
of one of our summaries went beyond
his instructions, in which case the I'm
perial government would not hesitate
to give such complete satisfaction to
the United States as would conform to
the friendly relations existing between
both governments"
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-08-26

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26.-Ambas-
sador Bernstorff and Secretary Lam
sing held an hours conference this
morning over the Arabic sinking. Both
refused to discuss the meeting, but it
is understood that the ambassador re-
iterated that it was not the intention
of his government to cause loss Of
American life. It is believed that the
next word from Germany will be that
pending further negotiations, subma-
rine warfare on passenger vessels will
be discontinued.
A notable relaxation Of tension was
evident at the White House and state
department after the 6ernstorff-lan-
sing conference today.

VISIONS SEEN BY SOLDIERS
They Have Been Witnesses of
Supernatural Things.

In periods of great national stress,
when the responsibilities facing
people call for an effort superhuman,
the mind is more prone than in times
less tense to place dependence upon
divine aid and to believe that super
natural powers are exerting their
might.
This tendency is embodied in a lit
tie column entitled "The Bowmen and
Other Legends of the War;" written
by Arthur Machen.
The potent character of these tales
of latter-day miracles is we'll exempli
fed by the fact that the story of THE
Bowmen," with it's allusion to the ap
pearance of a supernatural host, has
been accepted widely in England as
fact.
Upon its publication in serial form,
there came to the author scattered
inquiries from editors of occult jour.
mails as to the foundation of the story.
When the author denied that his COM
position had any basis in fact, to his
amazement, some of his correspond
ents maintained that he must be mis-
taken. In provincial papers hot con-
troversy was waged regarding the
exact nature of the appearance.
Bishop Weldon, Dean Hensley, Hen
son, Bishop Taylor Smith (the chap
lain-G -GeneraD, and many other clergy
have occupied themselves with the
matter. Doctor Horton preached about
the Angels" at Manchester; Sir Jo-
seph Compton Rickett president Of
the National Federation of Free
Church Councils), stated that the sol
diers at the front had seen visions and
dreamed dreams, and mad given testi.

GERMS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH
Decayed Teeth One Of the Most Fo-
tentiai Causes Of Disease in
the Human Family.

A hole in a tooth is due to decGy.
The animal matter of which the tooth
is composed is decaying. In that mass
Of decaying matter the germs Of all
kinds of disease find hotbed of fer
tile soil in which to thrive and multi
ply and grow strong.
Swarms of them go down into the
stomach with every swallow, some of
them being destroyed by the action Of
the stomach juices, but some passing
into the blood and being distributed
to organs of the body, where they
lodge and cause tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, sore throat, appendicitis and
many other diseases.
In fact, it is difficult to pick out a
single disease to which we are sub
ject that may not enter the body by
way of decayed tooth. Decayed and
broken-down teeth prevent proper
mastication of the food, and this in
turn causes malnutrition or poor nour-
ishment of the body, which means
physical degeneracy, and physical de-
generacy means mental and moral de-
generacy.

CHECK REIN WAS TOO TIGHT
Witness Would Have Preferred to BE
Given a Little Leeway in His
Court Testimony.

An aged negro porter, nearly eighty
years old, was arrested on some trivial
charge, for which he was later dis
charged. 1t proved, during the trial,
that he had never seen the inside of
court before, and the hustle of events
greatly dazed and embarrassed him.
AS he stood up when his name was
called the clerk sang forth: -,a
do you solemnly swear that the
testimony you shall give in this case
shall be the truth, tn whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, so help you
God?"
And the negro started back gasp
ing. Then he turned quickly to the
bench.

cial capacity, Use puffectly willin' ter

Breaking It Gently.

Speaking of breaking the news gent
ly, the story is told of we'll shooter
who operated in the oil fields in south
west Kansas ten or twelve years ago.
While he was going from one well to
another with a load of rItroglycerin
the wagon fell over the side of a
bridge and landed on the rocks fifteen
feet below. The well shooter, his
wagon and his team were Immediately
distributed over the surrounding coun-
try.
A friend, who happened to see the
accident, felt that he ought to notify
the unfortunate we'll shooters wife,
but he wanted to break the news as
gently as possible. He called her up
over the telephone and said:
"My opinion is, Mrs. Loop, that your
husband won't get back home In time
for supper, and reckon you might
as we'll not wait for him."
(Which way did he go?" asked Mrs.
Loop.
"Well, ma'am," said the tool shar-
pener, who was breaking the news,
''he was goin' purity nigh straight up
when l last saw him, though l think
he was headin' a trif1e to the north
east, and l should say at the rate he
was travelin that 1t won't be possible
for him to make 1t back by supper

Rule Others.

The other day man who makes his
living by fighting was struck by an
undersized man, and instead Of return
ing the blow he walked away from his
diminutive assailant.
This man exhibited much more self
control than the majority Of people.
Men who class themselves as being
on Q higher plane than this fighting
man would have mixed Immediately
with the hot-headed individual.
What would you have done?
The chances are that you wolld
have rushed at the fellow with all
your might; you would have permit ed
your savage instincts to rule you.
This proves that you have not az
much power as you should have over
your impulses.
You may boss other people, but you
are not boss of yourself.
Maybe you wonder why others are
forging ahead of you as leaders Of
men.
1t is because they have check rein
on themselves. They have schooled
themselves that they may be able to
guide others. Self-control is the at
tribute Of a leader-Ckicago Ameri-
