OLD SOLDIERS
WILL HEAR THE
BIC BAND PLAY
MRS WALCOTT DESIRES THAT
THE OLD BOYS HAVE PRiVi-
LEGE OF HEARING FIFTH AR
TIlLERY BAND.

Arrangements are being made to
take the Fifth Field Artillery Band
out to the soldiers home tomorrow
afternoon to play their regular con-
cert, instead of playing at the juno
tion of Washington and Main streets.
Mrs. Walcott is making arrange
ments, and requests that anyone own
ing car communicate with her, and
she will be able to assign them. The
old soldiers at the home,-that IS,
many of them,-are unable to come
to the city at this time to enjoy
the festivities and Mrs. Walcott is
anxious that they be given the priyi-
lege of hearing this crack band while
in the city. She requests that enough
cars be furnished to take not only
the band, but as many visitors as
possible.
This will be rare treat to the old
veterans who cannot come to the city,
and the trouble incidental to making
this arrangement is small. All should
communicate with Mrs. Walcott rela-
tive to details, and they will be fur
nished. The Ardmoreite joins Mrs
Walcott in this request.

London, April 11.-Without pause,
the German crown prince, taking ad
vantage of the evacuation of the Beth
incourt salient by the French and
the occupation of that position by
the Germans, has thrown several di-
visions against the new French line,
but so far has been unable to break
that line at any point.
The bombardment Of the whole
front west of the Meuse is Of in
creasng intensity on both sides, the
Germans moving down along the Hau-
court-Bethincourt line attacked the
French positions south Of the FORCES
brook. Here they had to face the
full fury of the French guns, which
cost them heavy losses.
The French front along the STRAIT
egic sector extending from lie Mort
Homme to Cumieres remained un-
moved and further attempts to as
sault were arrested by the French
curtain of fire.

Reports Not Confirmed

Washington, ID. c., April II.
Unofficial and unconfirmed
reports that Villa is dead,
reached the Carranza embassy
here today and are given some
credence by the officials here.
They are represented as having
come from Queretaro, the pro-

The reports are unsubstanti-
ated by the latest dispatches to
the war and state departments.
Circumstantially it is felt that
Villa could not survive his
wounds.

CLARENCE WORTHAM, PROPRlE-
TOR OF WORTHAM SHOWS,
SURPRISED AT THE SPIRIT DIS
PLAYED.

Clarence A. Wortham, owner of the
Great Wortham shows, which are
here furnishing the attractions for
the big spring festival which is being
held under the auspices of the Com
mercial Club, was in Ardmore yes
terday and during his visit here paid
pretty tribute to the progressive
ness of the city, all of which was
overheard by The Ardmoreite man,
who happened to be standing near
when Mr.. Wortham, who was in con-
versation with Walter Stanley, man.
ager of the Great Wortham Shows,
said. Gee, but this is a wonderful
little city. 1t has surprised me. 1T
reminds me strongly of the oil towns
of Ohio during the boom there some
years ago, and after playing through
certain sections of the country, it is
a wonderful surprise. The life, move
ment and activity is incredible, and
the people seem to have such a
metropolitan atmosphere with them.
Why, this Main street looks like
Broadway on a busy day, except that
it is cleaner, if anything. She is a
winner, and if | can find suitable
buildings, l may even consider this
place as winter quarters for my
three shows. Ardmore has it all over
any town of its size have ever seen,
and if these hustlers keep moving
they're going to catch up with Okla
homa City some day. That's what l
think of Ardmore."
C. A. Wortham is a well known
Snowman and traveller, and the owner
of two large midway organizations
and big minstrel show. He has
travelled all over the United States
and Canada, and is regarded in
amusement circles as coming
amusement magnate. He IS educa-
ted and observant, and is well quail
fed to express an opinion.
Mr.. Wortham left here today for
San Antonio, where he has charge
of the amusement features and the
Joy zone for the big fiesta Of flowers,
which is one of the big annual events
at San Antonio.

Expect Important Developments.

San Antonio, Tex, April 11.-Of-
ficials here believe that the issue of
whether the United States will with
draw the troops and leave the pursuit
of villa to the de facto forces will
be forced in the near future, and
that the next few days viii bring
important development in the situa-
tion. Headquarters here have not
been advised of the positions Of the
advanced American troops.

BELIEVING THIS is KEY TO FUR

Whether Attack Proves Successful or
Not, This is Likely to Mark Close

The German assault on Verdun is
now centered on Deadman's Hill, west
of the Meuse, which is the key to
further advance, and may mark the
close Of the Verdun campaign, what
ever the outcome.
German statements today say that
the British troops made strong
grenade attack last night on the Ger
mans at St. Eloi, but that the attack
was repused and the positions held.
Fighting on both sides Of the Meuse
is in progress, although it is more
strenuous on the west bank. On
other fronts there is little activity.

gagged the Villa forces in battle.
Reports received here said that Ar
rieta Brothers are fortifying them
selves in Durango City, but for what
purpose could not be ascertained.

Sixty-Five Decorated Cars.
Sixty-fve decorated cars were in the
line of march, besides there were
many others who failed to put on the
tinsel and bunting, but just wanted to
be with the live ones, and the thou
sands who lined the sidewalks during
the parade showered rounds of ap-
plause as their favorites passed by.
The parade was formed at Central
park by V. c. Suggs who led 1t in a

Interspersed between the decorated
cars were the members of the Fresh
man, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
classes of the Ardmore high school,
The band from the Wortham Carnival
company, now playing in this city,
brought up the rear of the parade up
on large float drawn by four white
horses; this band as well as the artil-
lery band which preceded it, came in
for rounds of generous applause.
Night Parade.
The auto parade last night was even
superior to the one of the afternoon,
the cars all came back, with electric
lights added to the decorations worn
during the day parade, and presented
a magnificent spectacle as they passed
through the streets The route travers-
ed was the same as in the afternoon.
After the parade was over, the crowd
which was estimated to be one of the
largest ever assembled in this city on

IN DU POINT FEUD

Wilmington, Del, Jan. 20
The "Du Pont Explosions, !"
which recently furnished thrill
ing chapters of news, have not.
1t appears, been confined to the
powder-w works, SO long associat-
ed with the name of du Pont.
There have been, and still are
going on explosions less sangui-
nary, but nevertheless exciting,
in the social fabric of that stu
pendously wealthy family.
Wilmington society has felt
the effect, and the attitude of
thew arious members of the du
Pont family toward one anoth-
er has become a matter of deep
concern.
With something like $60,000,-
900 as the Apple of Discord, a
feud, more deadly than any that
had previously divided tht house
was begun in December, when
Phillip F. du Pont, of Merton,
Pa, filed a bill in equity in the
Federal Court at Philadelphia,

ident of the du Pont Powder
