London, Jan. S.-The Rus
slams claim the full capture of
Czartorysk, but the Austrians
deny that they have advanced
further than the cemetery.
The Austrians are fighting
desperately to hold their posi-
tions as a screen for Kovel and
a link with the German Cali
clan armies and those in the
Pinsk neighborhood, which are
threatened by an enveloping
movement of the Russian adj
vance.
A German claim, later than
the Russian, says that the Aus
trians have retaken all their
lost Czartorysk ground.
The Germans made an attack
near Lille on the western front,
but the British claim it was re-
pulsed. Heavy artillery was
busy on the western front yes
terday.

the allies are again lombard

Situation Is Quiet Tonight

There was comparative quiet today
in East Youngstown, where wild
scenes of rioting were enacted last
night by the striking steel mill work
ers. Officials believed that the trouble
had ended.
There is one known dead and pos
sibly ten wounded, while ten blocks of
the town, including the entire busi-
ness district, was burned, several thou
sand un-homed and estimated property
loss of one million dollars.
Three companies of the state mill
tia arrived last night and now main
tain guard. The saloons here are
closed today.
The trouble began late yesterday
when the day shift at the steel mill
quit and a crowd Of two hundred men
and women attacked the mill guards.
More than three hundred workers
struck yesterday for increased wages.
After the mob had attacked the
guards, it retreated, reformed and
commenced burning and lootng. The
rioting lasted most of the night.
Saloons were entered and their wares
conhscated. Men and women drank
in drunken frenzy, scooping up the
liquor in their hands from the whiskey
barrels where cups were unavailable.
The fire spread rapidly in the strong
wind. The mobs drunken frenzy grew
and whiskey barrels were placed in
the street for free consumption. Cloth
ing stores were looted and the strik-
ers changed their old clothes for new
in the middle of the street, where the
flames made it as light as day. The
streets were finally cleared, allowing
the Youngstown fire department to get
ITO the flames. When the rioters had
been rounded up, the East Youngs-
town Jail was oyerflowing and one hun
dred were brought here.
The wreck of the mob was complete
and the village almost in ruins.

N|T|0N PLANT
F0 R 6 A 7 {
BILL INTRODUCED TO ERECT A
PLANT AT OKLAHOMA CITY
FOR MANUFACTURE OF WAR
MUNITIONS.

Washington, Jan. S.-Congressman
Thompson introduced a bill in the
house Friday appropriating $4,000,
to erect and equal at Oklahoma City
a plant for the manufacture of war
munitions. Regarding the bill, he
said:
"The object of the bill is to take
the profits out of war By having the
government manufacture war mater
ials. Half the cost of these materials
can be saved by government manu-
facture.
again, if all profit is removed from
war the subject can be discussed from
patriotic standpoint and conclusions
reached on a consideration of facts
without being blinded by the specious
argument and the warped judgment
of those who reap profits.
IF there is danger of our coasts
being captured by an invading force
the plant should be located inland,
so there will be no danger of its cap
ture. 1t ought also to be located
where fuel is cheap and the supply
abundant.
"Oklahoma produces moro gas than
any other state in the nation. The
Cushing field furnishes a supply suf'
ficient to provide power fer all the
manufacturing plants in America, and
it is connected with Oklahoma Cit,-
by pipe line.
"Oklahoma City, therefore, is the
logical place for this plant"

NEW APARTMENT HOUSE
w. j. Lane to Begin Construction Of
New Building on B Street.

w. J. Lane has purchased the Bob
Riner property, located on b street
northwest, between Second and Third
avenues and will begin at once the
construction of an apartment house
that will accommodate from four to
six families.
The demand for more homes in Ard
more is being met by building cam
paign, but it seems that the greater
the number of new homes, the great
er the demand for them. 1t is at
least gratifying to see those who
know Ardmore best to be liberal in
expenditures for new homes in the
city. 1t looks like prosperity has
come to stay.

HARDWOOD
INDUSTRY IN
OKLAHOMA
PLANTS TURNING OUT 100000
FEET OF LUMBER A DAY -
LABOR CONDITIONS GOOD, Ac-
CORDlNG TO ASHTON.

State Labor Commissioner w. G..
Ashton was in the city Friday night
from Oklahoma City. He was here
on his way home from a business
trip to the Choctaw nation. He had
visited the sawmill plants at Broken
Bow, Fort Towson and Hugo.
Mr.. Ashton says the people of the
state cannot realize the vastness Of
the hardwood industry of the state
without having made a trip to the
southeastern part of the state. The
Choctaw Lumber company has plant
at Broken Bow which has been in
operation about six weeks. The plant
is saving from sixty to seventy per
cent of oak and is turning out about
10000 feet of lumber a day Mills
at four places in that locality give
employment to about 1,500 men. La
Dor conditions are good. The men
and their families are properly
housed and they receive from $1.65
a day up as high as 81 and So for
skilled labor. The combined capacity
of all the plants in that section is
about 100000 feet of lumber a day,
and the supply of material is suf-
ficient to last for a period of twelve
wears
