]. S<''R PLANES
DECLARE THAT 1000 MACHINES
AND AVIATORS WORTH MOkE
THAN 100000 TROOPS.
By the Associated Press

Headquarters of the Italian Army,
Nov. 6-The main fact of the situa'
ton connected with the reorganization
of the second and third Italian armies
is that General Cadorna's line has been
re-established. This line has been de-
Tended by the same magnificent troops
which in May won four battles, at the
same time storming Monte Samo' SAB
otino and Hermana. The soldiers nave
the greatest confidence i'm General Ca
dorna.
One element of the new Cadorna line
is that the soldiers already are learn
ing to withstand the German methods
of fighting, which are different from
those of the Austrians. The Italians
have vast superiority in mountain Tight
ing over the Germans who secured
their advantage two weeks ago by
treachery.
General Cadorna' Line is being
strengthened by the inspiring activity
of airplanes, notably the Capronis, in
constructing which Italy has made rap
i'd strides Italian officers have insisted
to the correspondent that the United
States must furnish more and more ar
tillery, but that particularly she must
furnish aviators and airplanes.
They say Italy has superabundance
of troops, but never has had enough
airplanes, which they believe will prove
the key to further warfare, whether 1t
is of resistance or aggression. They
assert that the United States, thereforet
will do far better for her allies by fur
nishing airplanes than in sending troops
"a task which will require much eff
fort to carry out. and also large guam
titles of food to maintain the men. They
say that one thousand aviators would
be better than one hundred thousand
troops.
The Italian point of view seemed to
be vindicated, not only when the ltal-
ian forces took Bainsizza in September
but during the recent retreat when the
Caproni cir machines protected the rear
and also destroyed by bombardment
store houses of supplies which the re-
treating infantry was unable to do.
After the retreat, the Capronis went
over the ground and blew up the Ital-
ian supplies.
1t is true that the Italian army has
been tampered with. and that the Ison-
20 is more of a political than military
defeat But it is reiterated that the
army's heart is sound

SUBURB Of
NORTH ARDMORE
NOW ASSURED
NUCLEUS OF NEW TOWN, EN-
BRACING INDUSTRIAL ADDl-
TION, BEING DEVELOPED.

North Ardmore. All out for North
Ardmore!'
Not such a far cry as the people OF
the city of Ardmore might really think.
North Ardmore is no dream. The nu'
cleus of the town for which this sta
ton will be established by the Santa Fe
has already become a reality with the
cooperation of the railroad authorities
in furnishing the necessary facilities.
Ardmore has two refineries in opera
ton and the arrangements are well un'
der way for the building OF at least
three more. These refineries will be at
North Ardmore or Immediately adjacent
thereto as will also the two tire manu-
featuring plants, the auto accessory
plant, the carbon plant and others
which have been secured for Ardmore
through the Chamber of Commerce In
dustrial Corporation.
John NJ. Cameron, president of the
Cameron Refining company. was in the
city yesterday in conference with of
fieials of the Santa Fe relative TO tracks
needed by the plant. Two carloads OF
material for this refinery have arrived
and others will follow in rapid success
sion. giving ample assurance that no
time will be lost in erecting and put
ting into operation this modern retin-
ing plant.
The machinery is also purchased for
the Great Western Refinery and work
on this plant will soon begin.
The Chickasaw Refining company, of
which Sam A. Apple is president, has
received several cars Of material. Its
spur from the Santa Fe main line is
completed, and the plant is under con-
struction Much of the brick work is
completed and the stills are being set.
When il is understood that the Ard
more Refining company now gives the
Santa Fe a full train of loaded tank
ears every day. it can we'll be under
stood what it will mean to the railroad
as well as to Ardmore when five refin-
eries-and very likely sixth-begin to
make regular shipments.
North Ardmore will be an industrial
suburb beautifully situated on high
ground. three miles north Of the city
of Ardmore and along the tracks Of
the Santa Fe.
Ii will not merely serve as the cen
ter of large manufacturing plants. but
II will also comprise a considerable
residence population. as no less than
2sO families will make their homes in
that district when these plants are com
pleted and this number will rapidly
GROW 70 500 families
When the shipments to and from
these manufacturing plants are consid-
cred. together with the personal wants
of the employees. it can easily be seen
that tn railroad is taking the right
step when il looks ahead to making a
station at this point
T. f. Brazelton. industrial agent Of
the Santa Fe. went over the entire
matter OF trackage facilities for this in
dustrial district yesterday and ii is un-
derstood that he viii recommend that
a track be run through the addition
from the main line. with a spur turn
ing OF to each Of the plants which will
be erected on both sides Of the track.
The Santa Fe will spend $4,000 TO
take care OF these Industries.
North Ar,lraore will be the beginning
Of the industrial expansion OF Ardmore
and its future means much to all its
people.
