Greatest Ocean Disaster.

Paris, March At was announced
at the French ministry of marine Fri
day that there were nearly 1000 men
on board the French auxiliary cruiser
Provence when she was sunk in the
Mediterranean on Feb. 26.
1t was stated that on board the
Provence were the staff of the third
colonial infantry regiment, the third
battalion, the second company of the
first battalion, the second machine
gun company and one extra company,
in all nearly 1000 men.
As the ministry of marine on Feb.
80 announced that the number of sur
yivors of the Provence disaster was
estimated at so, it is indicated by
the foregoing dispatch that over 3,130
lives were lost.
The loss of more than 5000 lives
in the sinking Of the cruiser is the
greatest ocean disaster of modern
times. Up to the present the largest
number of lives ever lost n Il wreck
was when the White Star liner Titanic
struck an iceberg off the Newfound-
land banks, April II, 1912, and sank
with a death loss of 1,59j. The res
cued from the Provence number 743.
The French ministry OF marine had
previously issued no statement as 10
the number of persons on the Prov
cnce when she went down.
The vessel, however when in the
transatlantic service could carry l.
9G0 persons, including the crew, and
it has been presumed that, as she
was Transporting troops between ports
not far apart, she was carrying a
of men larger than her nor
NAL capacity.

| The Ardmoreite has undertaken tC
do what no other paper in the oil
areas of the state has done. A skilled
newspaper man has been employed to
the paper. He will report news, so,
llcit advertising and printing and.
most Of all, he will get the paper to
all subscribers on the day of its pub
lication.
Arrangements have been made for

The Ardmoreite in Ardmore, will take
charge of the WHIT office. He will
make headquarters with the Miller
Erug company, where he will have
copies Of the paper, and will receive
business orders and items of news
value
The field has a population Of from
three to five thousand people. Much
of the high class merchandise used
in the field is purchased in Ardmore.
The service which this paper will in
augurate Monday will place Ardmore
in as close touch with the
hundreds of oil field workers as they
are with the people of this city. The
lists in the field will
cover them as they cover this city
The Healdton field will be given a
service which no other oil field in
the state has. The Associated Press
news will be given the people on the
day it happens. The news of the field
will be gathered with due care to cor

Washington, d. c., March 4.
The house today postponed
action on the McLemore warn
ing resolution to Monday, on
account of the great number of
absentees at the weekend.
The administration leaders
are preparing a rule to dispose
of the resolution by an over
whelming majority and end
Wilson's fight to dispose of the
armed ship agitation.
Majority Leader Kitchin has
notified congressman that they
will not be needed to vote until
Tuesday at the earliest.
William Jennings Bryan
came to town today to fulfill
his lecture engagement. The

the delay on voting in the house
and the decision of the leaders
to postpone action until Tues

THE SPIRIT OF
PROGRESS IN
STREET PAVING
CITIZENS OF c STREET, S. E.,
HAVE PREPARED A LENGTHY
PETITION TO BE PRESENTED TO
COMMISSIONERS, TUESDAY.

Citizens living on c street, S. f., have
prepared a lengthy petition that will
be presented to the city commissioners
at their next regular meeting, asking
that street and Douglas avenue be
made an improvement district from
the Santa Fe crossing near Tyler &
Simpsons to the city limits toward
the cemetery. Not only have they Sc
cured the petition, but they have had
plans made showing how they desire
the work done. and the commissioners
who have seen the plans, state that
they are unique and would be most at
tractive, especially that portion of the
district covered by Douglas Boulevard
which is 80 feet wide, and could be
parked without serious difficulty.
VIII Gardner it is reported has
been working on the scheme quietly
lor some time and it is stated that,
with a very few exceptions, he has
secured the signatures OF every prop
erty owner along the street who seem
anxious to have the work done and
are willing to bear the necessary ex,
pense.

After the intense infantry
fighting of the past two days at
Verdun, there has come a sec
ond halt in the struggle there.
The Germans, however, con-
tinue their heavy bombardment
in all sections.
At Esparges, according to
Paris, the French prevented the
Germans from occupying a cra-
ter made by an explosion of
their mines.
The Germans claim that they
repulsed the French in the lat
ters' effort to retake Douamont.

flanks and indications are fur
nished of contemplated thrusts
on vital points in the lines about
the curving front.
