CAPTAIN ALLEN
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Closes War Work Campaign
With Stirring Speech Last
Friday Night
WAS WOUNDED MANY TIMES

One OF the largest audiences
ever gathered in the Centra
School Building greeted Captain
j. Stuart Allen, of the Princess
Patricia Regiment. Canadian
Light Infantry, last Friday night
at 7:45. The meeting was open
ed as the Rosemary Band played
spiritedly "The Star Spangled
Banner" and the audience re-
mained standing while Rev. E.
&C. Few invoked the blessing and
guidance of Almighty God. Rev.
Stanley White introduced the
speaker.
Capt. Allen won fame with the
immortal Princess Pat" which
early in the war made great
name for itself both on account
of the bravery of its men and on
account Of its casualties. Only Il
few of the first members are
alive. The Captain was gassed,
wounded with bullets and bay
Onetted. On account of his
wounds he was sent home and
for a year and a half he has in
structed the students of the Uni
versity Of North Carolina in mill
tary tactics. He related very
vividly and very interestingly
the stofy Of hia regiments acti
vities and incidentally explained
the several methods of fighting
used both by the enemy and our
allies. He told how being
gassed" affected the victims
and of the ingenious means used
by German spies to get valuable
information He spoke of the
treatment accorded German
rrisoners. who seemed to be sur
prlsed because they were not
poisoned or made to suffer all
sorts of crnelties as they had
been told they would suffer, the
Allies. said he, have a feeling of
animosity against the German
people. against their army as a
whole but not against the indiV-
idual bOche, IA thousands of
them are objests Of pity. fighting
because they are forced to and
not knowing for what they fight.
The lecture was intensely inter-
esting and instructive.
The meeting was arranged by
the United War Work Campaign
Committee and Immediately after
the address pledge cards were
distributed.

COURTHOUSE ONLY PLACE
FOR REGISTRATION WE'D.

A man called at the office OF the
local exemption board this morning
to ask if there was more than one
place in the county where young
men who have become Of age since
June 5 can be registered Wednesday.
He was informed that all must reg
lister at the courthouse in Ardmore.
This provision relative to the regis
tration has been published many
times There will positively be only
one place in the county at which
registration can be made and only
the one day on which to register.
Failure to register on that day
will subject the delinquent to a
penalty.
The man calling on the board said
it would work hardship on many,
as all are now at work in the coun-
try. 1t was explained to him that
the matter is not optional with the
members of the board, but they are
simply carrying out the orders of
tine government. The hours OF reg
istration Wednesday will be from !
O'Clock in the morning to 9 O'Clock
at night.

Food Conservation in Paris.

Atlantic: The apparent abund-
ance Of food has sad explanation,
in the lack of money among the
greater part of the population, who
are thus unable to purchase as much
as in more normal times. Hence
food, although less in quantity, yet
accumulates rapidly and is at the
command of the minority. Candy
and chocolate stores are closed twv'
days of the week, while sugar and
bread are scarce enough to be given
special thought. The Bardon de -

FIRST BRIGADE TEXAS
CAVALRY RECRUITED
NEARLY ALL UNITS ARE
BROUGHT TO WAR
STRENGTH.

Houston, Texas, June 3.-Brig
adler General ]. +. Wolters, com
manding the First Brigade, Texa:
Cavalry, gave out an official state
ment last night saying the entire
brigade had been recruited to wal
strength, except the five troops al
San Antonio, and thees would be
mustered ednesday.
The First Brigade OF Cavalry is
recruited to 500 men, forty above
the maximum. The Second Regi-
ment is ,489, only thirty-one short
of war strength. The Third Regi-
ment has been mustered into the
state service with 1894 enlisted, or
seventy-four more than war
strength.
Every troop mustered has ten
additional men to take the place OF
any who may be drafted before GO
ing into federal service; however,
the number OF class men in the
brigade is so small that it is almost
negative.
Out of the forty-five captains,
thirty-one have had previous mill
tary experience; thirty-two are
college men, and fourteen without
previous military experience; thir-
ty-two are college men, and four
teen without previous service are
college men. Fifty-one OF the OF
ficers speak and write Spanish, four
French, eight German and one Boz
hemian. Those not classed as col
lege men are men OF good educa-
ton and many are successful pro-
fessonal men who have not had
college education.
Approximately 90 per cent OF the
enlisted strength are between the
ages OF Is and q. Fifty per cent
have had either college or high
school education. The other so
per cent attended grammar schools.
Included in this estimate are many
who had one or more years in col
lege. About IS per cent are now
living on farms or ranches or were
raised on farm or ranch.

URGE CHURCH
FOLK TO AID IN
COUNTY CLEAN UP

In the churches of Ardmore yes
terday special attention was called
to the moral cleanup campaign now
in progress throughout the city and
county. The Man for the Time
taken from Nemehiah u, "He was
n faithful man and feared God above
many" was the subject Of the SER
mon delivered by the Rev. David H..
Cooper at the Broadway Baptist
Church. Doctor Cooper said that
this is the type of man needed in all
public Offices and the type Of man
needed in the average citizenship.
He called particular attention to the
several editorials in The Ardmoreite
and emphasized the fact that the cit
i2ens must sustain the present cam
paign and make it continuous until
the cleanup is made permanent.
Dr. e. c. Weith. pastor OF the
First Presbyterian Church. took oc-
casion to call the attention OF the
Christian world to the necessity OF
helping the drelicts who are being
driven here and there as a result OF
the cleanup. "What is to be done
for these outcaSes OF society?' he
asked and made a plea for some
thing further to be done for, them
other than merely driving them out
of Ardmore and Carter County. to
go to some other place from whence
they will again be driven. He stated
that while this method seemed the
only available one at the present
time. vet other means OF correcting
the evil should be found.
Strong addresses were also made
bv the Rev. c. T. Wagner Of the
First Christian Church and the Rev.
K. f. J.. Morgan OF Broadway
Methodist Church, each OF whom
urged their people to use every eff
fort in the campaign. Mr.. Wagner
stated that the person is a Stacker
who holds back information that
will lead to the correction OF these
matters"

ACCUSED OF KILLING AND
BURNING A HORSE

Budd Ballew. deputy sheriff, ar
rested w. G.. Overstreet in the oil
field yesterday and brought him to
the county jail, where he is held
under a charge of malicious mis-
chief. Overstreet, known as Peg,
was arrested charged with stealing
chickens in the night time and was
later released on preliminary hear
ing. A man named Avant was at
that time witness against him.
Yesterday, it is alleged, OverStreet
took horse belonging to Avant
and, leading it into the brush, killed
it by beating it in the head and then
poured coal oil over the carcass and
burned it.
