GERMAN OFFICER STOWAWAY
 CAPTURED IN ENGLISH PORT

A Prussiau officer Lieutenant Jo- names Bernhard Pier, who had been taken prisoner by the French and had escaped, was captured on board for eign vesse, at a northeast coast port on Saturday. He had been concealed in the forepeak, and immediately on the arrival of the ship he peeped out to ascertain his whereabouts and was caught.
 Tall, thin, and about p years of age. he was covered with the grime of the rorcpcak. He said he had with hin, when he boarded the vessel two .ins of condensed milk which he hoped would support him until he reached a neutral country. He had been four days at sea in hiding, had lived on the contents of one tin, and had the other left
 The captain of the ship handed him over to a military guard, and as he was taken away through the streets his grey uniform attracted attention. He said he was a schooImaster before joining the army, was wounded at Warsaw, and then transferred to the western front. He was taken prison CT by the French on the Somme on September n and was placed in a military prison. On making his es- cape he managed to reach Rouen, where he boarded the foreign vessel

GREAT BEAUMONT CRATER STREWN
 WITH GERMANS
CFrom W. BEACH THoMAS)

NTlOlu W. bEASu IlOMApJ
 WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE FIELD, Nov. g. - The murk that has settled down over the coun- try has added the last touch of bru- taity to batrleheldS always incredibly brutal. Perhaps the silence helps Few and fewer shells whine through the fog, and more and more of the few thump into the mud without ex- ploSion. All the firing Is blind; anC perhaps for that reason each SheL fuller of fear; for the finer courage k disclosed into fatalism ana mere re- liance on the law of average. And in the mud and mist you notice the de- tails of the battlefield in more par tcular detail, now that the general view is cut off and all ground is dead ground.
 The great crater by Beaumont Hamcl looks like the bed of an emp tied lake strcwu with the bodies and bits of the bodies of its old deuizenS. Here we blew up quantity ot Ger man dug-outs tunneucd into the side of the old crater; and the successive tons of explosive, besides doing their deadly vorS, have altered the very landscape. Close by, at the bottom Of a trench, the Germans lie head to heel strung out in line where they rushed from the escape mouth Of their dug-out into cascade of bombs and perhaps an endladng rifle. Egg bombs and oySter-bombS and hair brush bombs are scattered every where-Small refuse left, it might be, by a rcceding tide, along with the burden of mud-drowned bodies.
 Day after day and night after night our burial parties have been at work. Al any moment you may meet the parade returning with his group of men from the latest field burial The business is nearly done, but it never quite ends. The Germans lived iL this quarter for two years, working al. the time, and left more caves than could be reckoned in day, even if the shells had not rooted in the trough Of mud and rubbish for five months. Stores and tombs still lie undiscover- ed, and diggers a century hence will still find discs and chains that were to announce the identity of the vic tins.
 The power of ugliness could no farther go. Everything visible and audible or tangible to the senses-to touch. smell. and perception-is ugly beyond imagination. The hanks of wrenched and routed wire suggest that the very soil has turned into a sort of matter hostile to all kindly productiveneSs. And so will the waste look till spring comes and proves that after all fertility lives, Indeed. lest mere disgust and des- pair should be bred by the spectacle of ruin, nature is already sending a message of spring, a miracle of the season.
 The miracle is this: that the bat tered trees, just now as bare as tele- graph poles. are putting out young, green leaves; and in one place great comfrey leaves even now conceal the very whereabouts of trench we

WAR SUMMARY

Perograd, July 2S-According to the
Gazeta, Lenine, the radical agitator, is
being concealed in Kronstadt in the
guise Of a prisoner by the Maximilists.
The Austro-German march through
eastern Galicia and toward the Buko-
wilma border is going on unchecked so
far as latest reports indicate. Appar.
emily the Teutonic purpose is to give
the retreating Russian forces no pause
until Austrian territory has been com
pletely cleared of them if the achieve
ment is possible.
In the west, while there is no allied
advance, there is at least an absence
Of German progress. The crown prince
is the aggressive force, but his liberal
sacrifice of troops is not gaining him
any ground Of consequence. Last night
he met with a complete check in a re-
newal of his offensive on the Aisne
front. The French lines were not pene-
trated in the whole field of the attack.
which took in a considerable sector Of
the Chemin dee Danes, and Paris re-
ports his losses as extremely heavy.
The British report a heavy fire from
German guns on the front near the
Belgian border to the coast. Evidences
accumulate that the Germans, in prob
able anticipation of the British attack
here, are giving fire for fire to the ex.
tent OF their ability apparently with
the intention of counting preparations
for thrust against the British.

NO FEAR OF WATER
FAMINE IN ARDMORE

"Ardmore now has plenty of water in
the city lake" Mayor Roberts said this
morning in commenting upon the city
water supply, but the present source
might become inadequate to meet the
growing demands that will be made
upon it by the industries which will be
established here When the two new
refineries and the automobile tire fac
tories were considering locating here
representatives interviewed the mayor
relative to the water supply and were
given to understand that the enterprise
and progressiveness Of the Ardmore peo-
pie would furnish all the water needed
for all the factories that could ever be
built in Ardmore.
Don't think for minute that d
water famine could come to Ardmore
in any degree comparable to the water
famine at Oklahoma City" Mayor Rob
erts said. The mayor, the city commits
sioners and the city engineer have work
ed out plans by which Ardmore will al
ways have all the fresh water that 1t
can possibly use.

FARMS FOR RETURNED
SOLDIERS PLANNED

Toronto Ont. July 2S.-The Hon. G.
H. Ferguson, minister Of lands, forests
and mines, has made arrangements
with the Trancontinental Railway TO
build a siding half mile long to run
into the center Of the Kapuskasing set
tlement for returned soldiers in North
ern Ontario. The site chosen Is about
sixty miles from Cochrane and directly
opposite the Dominion experimental
farm, containing 1000 acres, 200 Of which
are in crop. The houses are 20 be built
on the east bank Of the river, and lum-
ber and other material for the construc'
ton OF 30 has already been sent to the
district.
Mr.. Ferguson says "the men will
work and clear a certain portion and
grow enough to keep the community
and will spend the winter clearing their
own land Of bush. and before another
year is out we hope TO have the mems
farms all ready for cultivation"
Speaking generally. Mr. Ferguson
says the crops in Northern Ontario
are much beyond expectation, and that
the fireswept district Of last year has
been rebuilt and the crop acreage is
greater than before.

COOLER WEATHER AND
RAINS BENEFIT COTTON
Crop in Good ConditiOn-Corn in Some
Districts Ruined

Oklahoma City July 2S.-Cooler
weather and moderate to heavy rains
greatly improved corn and cotton crop
conditions during the week ended July
"a, says the weekly summary issued by
.e local weather bureau. Feed crops
have been materially benefited and pas.
lures revived by the rains.
The summary follows
Somewhat cooler weather prevailed,
maximum temperatures of 100 degrees,
or higher, being recorded on only the
| last day of the sweek. Moderate to
heavy rains fell over practically the
whole state on the 18th and 10Th,
breaking the drought in most sections
and greatly improving the general out.
! look
The rains came in time to save con-
siderable portion of the corn. Much of
the crop, however, had been burned and
! injured beyond recovery, and will be a
| failure. Cotton is in fine condition over
practically the whole state and is i'm
proving steadily. The early planted is
blooming freely and bolls are setting.
Some of the cotton is very late and
small, TO 12 inches high, but is of good
eolor and now is making growth.
Sorghum grains broom corn, sweet
potatoes and peanuts were benefited by
the rains and now are making satisfac,
| tory progress. Pastures are reviving.
The third cutting Of alfalfa is very
short
Peaches are ripening in the southern
portion Of the state, but the crop will
be light.
The soil is in fair to good condition
for plowing and farmers are preparing
the ground for winter wheat and plant.
| ing late forage crops
Fail gardens and the second crop of
potatoes have been or are being plant,
! ed.
| While conditions generally are much
| improved over last week the rain was
sufficient in many Of the central and
western counties to only temporarily
relieve the drought, and the ground is
drying out rapidly and more rain is
needed

SISTER OF LORD KITCHENER
BELIEVES HE is ALIVE

London, July 2S.-The statement by
Mrs Parker, sister OF Lord Kitchener,
that she believes her brother 10 be alive
and did not go down with the cruiser
Hampshire, has revived a rumor which
las recurred in England during the
year past Asked by an interviewer on
what grounds she based her belief. Mrs.
Parker replied:
Il can not tell you on what grounds
I believe. In fact / do not want to 20
into any details at present"
The original rumor was that letter
had been received from a British pris
oner In Germany saying that Lord
Kitchener was a prisoner there. The
letter was never traced and the rumor
was considered a canard.
