ARDMORE
CHURCHES SOON
METHOOlSTS HAVE ORDERED ONE
AND CHRISTIAN LADIES' AID
SOCIETY HAS MONEY RAISED
FOR ANOTHER.

Two pipe organs will adorl as
many churches in this city within a
short time. The congregation of the
Broadway Methodist church has al
ready contracted for one to cost ap-
proximately three thousand dollars,
and now the Ladies' Aid society of
the First Christian church is raising
money for a like purpose. The Aid
society has most of the money pledg.
ed and their organ Will be the equal
of that to be installed by the Metho-
dists.
Both churches are fortunate in that
they have musicians who can play
the instruments, and the musical fea-
lures of both churches will attract
additional worshipers to every SER
vice.
For some time the various church
es of the city have agitlteC purchas-
ing pipe organs, and now that the
ice is broken it will probably lead to
every church in the city being so
equipped The congregation of the
First Presbyterian church has plans
made for a new church said to surpass
anything in the city, and it is certain
that they, too, will install a pipe
organ.

Washington, d. c., March 10.
President Wilson today or
dered American troops over the
Mexican border to capture or
kill the Villa bandits who yes
terday raided Columbus, N. M.
A statement issued at the
White House said:
can adequate force will be
sent at once in pursuit of Villa
with the single object of captur-
ing him and putting a stop to
his forays. This can and will
be done in entirely friendly aid
of the constituted authorities of
Mexico"
Senator McCumber, repub-
lican, introduced a resolution
in the senate today providing
for the president to immediate
ly send an armed force into
Mexico to "hunt and destroy
the numbering bands guilty of
atrocities against American cit
izens."
Senator Fall of New Mexico
introduced his resolution pro-
lviding for the recruiting of five
hundred thousand volunteers to
police Mexico.
The presidents order in its present
stage does not mean Intervention. II
| provides for punitive expedition to
| deal with the lawless forces over
which Carranza has no control The
American government wants villa
dead or alive. No steps will be neg
lected to carry out this object. A
force of not less than five thousand
men will be used, all of them from
Funston's commands. This action
was decided upon at a cabinet meet
ing held this morning, at which it
was said that Villa must be eiimi-
mated, as was Huerta.
Mexican Ambassador Arrcdondo
would not comment on the news. He
said yesterday, however. that in his
opinion Carranza would not resent
such action. No plans have been
made, so far as known, for the use Of
national guards.
1t was considered probable that the
Atlantic fleet might be placed in Mex
lean waters to protect Americans in
! the coast towns. Officials at Wash
ington generally commend the presi-
dent for his action.
1t was said that the pursuit of
Villa will be undertaken in a COM
prehensive way and organized plans
! will be laid for his apprehension.
Officials received the news with un'
disguised satisfaction. A general feel
| ing of relief that the administration
had decided to take this step was ap'
parent. The announcement that the
president would send troops into
| Mexico after villa was accompanied
by scenes not equalled by those at
| the White House since the fleet was
sent to Vera Cruz.
Pains were taken by officials here
to point out that General Carranza
would realize the spirit in which
American troops are being sent after
villa.
The state department this morning
made it plain that the incident is not
closed as far as the government is
concerned and that negotiations with
Carranza for permission to send the
troops into Mexico to clear out the
bandits will go forward. General
Funston said: $50 long as the bor'
der is a shelter for the band, they
will continue to harass our ranches"
In dispatches from General Funston
last night, he urgently recommended
that he be authorized to send Ameri'
can troops over the border to clean
out the bandit gangs.

lens confronting the people of this
country today. I know of only one
way to make preparation to defend
our institutions and that is to ac-
quire a reasonable army and navy
and inspire the people with the high
est spirit of patriotism and a deter
mination that our institutions shall
be maintained. 1 believe in the pro-
lection of American citizens on the
high seas, in foreign lands, and in
all the world. I believe in making
American institutions a prize to be
proud of the world over, and I be-
]ieve the only way to maintain our
high standard of civilization is to
maintain the standard of American
institutions. I believe in protecting
American commerce, which is the
foundation of all our great interests,
because without that bulwark we can
not truly fill the market for the pro-
ducts of the American farm and
American labor. Preparedness is
preparation, an insurance policy for
peace"

THREE CITIES AFTER
STATE ELkS' MEET

Duluth, Minn., June 9.-Three
cities have already entered the fight
for the 1917 convention of the Min
nesota State Elks' association, this
years meeting being scheduled for
this city on June ID and Is.
Although the 1916 meeting is a
week away, word has been received
here that, the Virginia, Mankato and
Red Wing lodges will send large dele
cations in an effort to land next
years convention. Red Wing made
a strong fight for the meeting a year
ago, but was beaten by Duluth.
Whether other cities will enter the
fight, is not known, although it would
not be surprising that six or seven
lodges offer invitations for the 1917
meeting during the opening business
session on June IA.
John E. Samuelson of this city,
treasurer of the state association and
past exalted ruler of Duluth lodge,
is being doomed by Duluth ,Elks for
the presidency to succeed James B.
