CITY MAKING

AT NEARLY EVERY MEETING OF
THE CITY COMMISSIONERS -
VAST IMPROVEMENT.

There are more public improvements
being made in the city at the present
time than ever before and more than
any Of the older citizens have ever
seen. There are now under construc-
ton and contracted for about twelve
to fifteen paving districts, including
macadam, reinforced concrete and as.
phaltic brick finish. The commits
sioners have never held a meeting
in the past four or five months at
which there was not from one to five
paving districts up for consideration
in one way or another.
This speaks volumes concerning the
faith of the property owners in the
future Of Ardmore, and the limit is not
yet reached if one can judge from the
calls for street improvements in every
section of the city. South Washing,
ton, f street northwest, each to the
city limits have been proposed Some
new additions are proposed and
movement for putting down pavement
is already on foot before the additions
have actually been taken in.

New Tactical Scheme.
During the period Of preparation
the bombardment Of our front was in
cessant. From the methods Of the
new artillery it was realized that the
enemy had thought out a new tao
tical scheme to meet the Hindenburg-
Ludendorff defensive tactics. This is
not the place to go into details about
that. But feature of the scheme
was that the enemy tried constantly
to broaden the zone of his artillery
destruction behind our front. The
increasing frequency of the lombard
ment which often developed into
drum fire, and was directed against
our lines of approach and command
positions, gradually showed that the
new attack was near. The drum-fire
assaults on the whole battle front
increased so much in strength that
they were obviously preparing for the
new infantry storm.
1.-THE drum fire was different from
uill OHly III ll5 IilOTc
terrible mass effect, but also because
Of its peculiar employment in the rear.
It was not, as formerly, an almost
unbroken thunder, but a = series of
fire storms of tremendous violence,
but of limited duration, alternating
with periods of comparatively small
activity; both the fire storms and the
pauses varied SO that one could re-
alize the intention of destroying the
nerves of the defense by the element
of uncertainty.
"Of airmen also the English had
prepared masses in excess of any,
thing known before. This develop
ment was sudden. and it took some
time before we had caught up with
the numerical superiority. The enemy
airmen tried to advance in swarms
over our lines, but the perfect brav-
cry of our men was able to force
them back, and in the main to keep
them behind their own lines"
