WANTS TO DRILL.
Company Will Test Lands Near Ard
more If Leases Are Given.

The Ardmoreite has information
from one of the progressive citizens
of the town that an oil company with
plenty of means to carry out its plans
will drill a test well or more on
lands near this city, provided leases
are given for the purpose. 1t offers
the property owners near Ardmore
to have their land tested for oil
without expense to themselves
The man who owns the land and
gets one-eighth of the oil has the
better of the deal. The drilling
company must pay all the expense
of drilling, if it should prove to be
a dry hole, the land owner is out
nothing, while the drilling company
must foot the bill In case oil is
found the land owner gets his oil
without any expense, and small
acreage will make anyone so well to
do that he would not need to own all
the oil. 1t would be worth a great
deal to Ardmore, and to the county
as a whole, to have the test made
and the land owners, no doubt, will
be generous in giving the acreage
when it is asked for.

Value of Zeppelins.


"You know what ! mean. 1t is that
wonderful invention which His Excel
lency Count Zeppelin was enabled
through the grace of the Lord, to
make for the safeguarding and glory
of our beloved Fatherland
"In this invention God has placed
the means at my disposal to lead
Germany triumphantly out of her pres
ent difficulties and to make once and
for all good the words of our poet,
Deutschland, Deutschland uber Allies
Eyes, gentlemen, Germany over ev-
erything in the world, The first power
on earth both in peace and war!
That is, the peace which | have been
ordered by God to conquer for her, and
which | will conquer for her with the
help Of the Almighty"
The emperor, according to this Sc
cret report then went on to unfold
scheme by which this end was to be
accomplished When sufficiently large
Zeppelins were built, England's North
Sea Channel and Atlantic fleets would
be destroyed, after which nothing on
earth can prevent the landing of our
army on British soil and its trium-
phant march to London" Fast steam
ers belonging to the Hamburg-Ameri-
can and North German Lloyd lines
would be relied on for the transport of
the invading army.
The war would be against Great Brit
tain and France, said the Kaiser. Rus
sia was suffering too much from the
effects of her war with Japan to en-
ter the conflict.
Says He's Supreme in America.
The emperor went on to speak of the
United States as a country, "where
even now | rule supreme, where al
most half of the population is either
of German birth or German descent
and where 100000 German voters dc
my bidding at the presidential cleo
tions." That country would next be
taught a lesson. German power would
be supreme in South America and
South Africa and among other things
the German flag would wave over
the holy shrines of Jerusalem" The
program ends with the declaration:
"That accomplished, | shall unite all
the people of the white race in a pow
erful alliance for the purpose of cop
ing under German guidance with the
yellow peril, which is becoming more
formidable every year"
Mr.. LeQueux says he handed this
report to the British government for
that it was placed be-
fore certain members of the cabinet,
and that it is still in the archives
Of the confidential department-New
York Times.

Sam McMeekin has been allotted 112

that he may return part of the pur-

races at Belmont Park
Mr.. Madden will hardly know which
horse to root for this afternoon, as
four are down to start which he has
sold out of his barn-Sam McMeekin,
Phosphor, Sharpshooter and The Finn.
Il happens that the two first named
are out Of Mirthful mares. Mirthful
was the first stallion established at
Hamburg Place in 1898, and Mr.. Mad

weeks before he was struck by light

Sharpshooter and The Finn, on the
other hand, are out Of Star Shoot
mares, and Star Shoot is not the lead
ing stallion at Hamburg Place.
Sam Hildreth has ever been q great
believer in buying the best, and has
never hesitated to pay the price if he

Just come from the maker. As rule
this would be enough TO handicap a
crew, but Courtney sent the varsity
eight over the four-mile course at a
racing clip and seemed pretty well
pleased with the result.
Courtney was not the only coach
who took advantage Of the water to
send his crew over the course. Jim
Rice waited until all the others had
retired to their lighthouses. and then
he ventured forth with his three crews,
letting the varsity 90 over the full
four miles, while the juniors and fresh
men quit at the bridge after pacing

to have settled on his combination, and
the eight rowed in better form than
at any time since it has been on the
river.
