VIGOROUS PROTEST IS
TOBE SENT TO FRANCE
BY THE UNITED STATES
Against Removal Of Germans
and Austrians from Ameri-
can Steamship Carolina.
NO LEGAL JUSTIFICATION
State Department Issues State
ment in Which the Facts
Are Summed Up.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-A vigor-
Gus protest Is being prepared by the
state department against the removal
by the French cruiser Descartes Of
Germans and Austrians from the
American steamships Carolina Coamo
and San Juan on the high seas. The
note will contend that removal Of
citizens OF any nation from an Ameri-
can vessel on the high seas is with
out legal Justification.
1t will be asserted in the note, Us
1t was a year ago in a protest to
France in the case of August Picpen-
brink. that the men removed were
not embodied "in the armed forces
Of the enemy" in the sense of that
term in established international
law. Tho communication 1t was un-
derstood. probably will declare also
that there is
No Justification
for the removal of an enemy subject
from neutral vessel on the high seas
bound to neutral port, even II he
could properly be guarded as a mill
tary person. The Tren: case during
the Civil war probably will be cited
as a precedent.
The state department was not ad-
vised whether any of the Austrians
or Germans seized had declared their
intention of becoming American citi-
zens. Information on that point is
being sought and should It develop

Total

Last season a contest was started
by the superintendent OF the city
schools, or rather a campaign of earn
ing and saving among the pupils while
on their vacation. That the result
has been most satisfactory is attested
BY the following figures;
The pupils of the First ward earned
during their vacation, as reported to
their principal this morning, s1,S42.65.
Of this amount they saved s532.55.
Second ward, earned s1,4o4.75; saved
$4,000. Third ward, earned s94O32;
saved s4S630. Fourth ward, earned
s11O725: saved $3.50. The report
of the High school was not available
this morning, but it is known that the
students made a good showing during
their vacation. and will probably be
in the lead when the report is sub
mitted.
The auditorium of the High school
was well filled by parents OF the pu-
pills this morning, and Superintendent
Richards stated after the exercises
that he is profoundly grateful for the
interest displayed by every citizen of
the city in the schools, and stated
privately as well as publicly that he
is going to bend every effort, and in
this he repeated that he felt sure that
he would be ably seconded by his able
taft OF assistants, in making this the
Lanner year in the history OF the
schools of this city.

at Friedrichstadt and driven the Rus
sans across the river, the Germans
are in a better position to advance
cut Of Dvinsk, as there is no danger
Of any outfanking movement ~Ae
slowness of the operations probably
is due largely to the cond lion Ct the
country and the heavy roads.
Every days delay is giving the
Russians a breathing space md en-
sbles them to make preparations for
greater resistance on chosen lines
protected by marshes and swollen
rivers.
The Russians are increasing Their
activities in the Caucasus and it is
believed that the arrival OF Grand
Duke Nicholas will be the signal for
more important operations, which will
lessen the burden of the allies, who
are trying to force the Dardanelles.
No report has been received from the
latter front for upward of week
from the allies, although I is appar-
ent from the Turkish reports that
there has been a considerable amount
Of fighting.
Optimistic report is again afoat,
probably due to the statement re-
entity made by Lord Robert Cecil,
under secretary of foreign affairs,
that the allies are not far from a
great success.
There has been little or no ces9a-
ton of the artillery engagements on
the western front A few isolated at
tacks by German infantry have taken
place, but according TO Paris, have
been repulsed, and there have been
further air raids and much bomb
throwing.

and told them to become interested
in athletics N some OF its branches,
and. instead OF Emerson, quoted a
Little Of Abe Martin to fully illustrate
his point
Mr.. Mead is intensely popular with
the student body, and has no trouble
in getting the best there is in them
upon the track or field. The outlook
for athletics IN the Ardmore High
school this season is extremely fat
tering in present, and Mr Mead told
the boys that if they would stay with
him this season they would again
find their names recorded among
those present" at all athletic events
in which the school participated.
At the close OF his remarks, the
principal made announcements Of
routine work, followed by Superin-
tendent Richards, who MADE the clos
ing remarks Of the day. Superintend-
ent Richards recited the fact that
the alumni of the 4. II. s. have de-
cided upon organizing ana holding
monthly meetings at the High school,
likewise offering their service wher-
ever needed for the betterment Of the
institution. Miss Allie Mae Gwinn,
an alumnus. at present a student Of
the state university, invited every
graduate member of the Ardmore
High school, to come to Norman to
the state university, the second best
school in the state.
During the exercises, the High
school orchestra, under the direction
of Sol Lowenstein, rendered inspiring
selections. The orchestra this year
will be larger than it was last. Only
one old member has left and in her
place will be added several who are
interested in music.
The enrolment at the High school
this year will be 35O,-a substantial
increase over last term.
The opening of the various ward
schools were attended with appro-
pirate exercises, and the school year
in Ardmore begins with every indica-
ton that it will be the most success
iul in the history of the schools.
The following enrolment was re-
ported from the various ward
