WAR SUMMARY

A report received in London is
to the effect that II German di-
visions are to be sent to Italy
to take the place OF an equal
number of Austrian divisions to
be transported to France.
Seething With Discomfort.
Behind the fighting front, the
dual monarchy is seething with
discomfort over the food siiua-
ton, which apparently shows no
signs OF Improvement. DR.. Won
Seydler, the Austrian premier,
who has attempted to resign
several times in the past year,
is reported on the way to Aus
trian headquarters to again
place his resignation in hauds
OF Emperor Charles.
The unrest in Vienna contin-
ues to spread throughout Aus
tria-Hungary and much anti
German feeling is being mani
tested i'll Vienna and in Hun
gary. In the Austrian capital,
the police have prevented an
attempted attack on the Ger
man embassy, the moi, crying
that Germany was starving Aus
tria. Bread riots have occurred
in districts of Vienna ;nnd the
number OF munition workers on
strike there has increased to
10000.
On the front in France and
Flanders there has been no
break in the lull since the Ger
man repulse at Rheims. Small
raids are being carried out here
and there, but no general CIV
gagements appear to be in the
making.
Berlin in its official statement
refers to allied raids as attacks
and mentions the "repulse" of
local American attack northwest
of Chateau-Thierry. There has
been no fighting on that sec
tor since Thursday when the
Americans advanced their lines
in Belleau wood a half mile
against weak German resist
ance.

BRITAIN WILL NOT
ABANDON DRAFT IN
IRELAND, is REPORT

London, June 22.-Conscription
for Ireland will not be Withdrawn
nor will efforts be relaxed to frame
measure of self-government for
Ireland. Recent events have con-
vinced the government that the
first business is TO establish law
and order, but its policy is un-
changed, the Times says.
Newspapers say that the national
ist members of parliament will re-
turn to Westminster next Tuesday.
The nationalists believe, according
to a report from Dublin, that con-
scription is dead. but that home
rule has only been shelved.

50 CENTS CHARGE ON
ALL PACKAGES ON
Rim CLING RAILROAD
BE MINIMUM CHARGE UNTIL
COMMITTEE MAKES DESIG-
NATION AS EXPRESS.

Every shipper who sends out stuff
to the towns along the Ringing
railroad will be subject to a charge
of SO cents minimum, beginning
next Tuesday. This order will prob
ably affect practically every business
house in Ardmore, and will mean
virtually prohibition OF the ship
ment of small packages.
This order will be effective on
other railroads so far as freight is
concerned, but on the Ringing road,
where no express service has ever
been maintained and all packages
carried are classed as freight on a
passenger train" it will cover what
is actually express shipments as well
as freight.
Ardmoreite Makes Protest.
In view of the fact that the great
er part of the supply of copies OF
The Daily Ardmoreite to agents
along the Ringing road has been
sent by express-though classed as
freight-The Ardmoreite has filed 4
vigorous protest with ]. l.. West,
chairman of the Southwestern Traf-
nc Association, St. Louis. in whose
district Oklahoma lies, asking that
an exception be made or that a des-
ignation as express" be made on
all matter which is prima facie ex-
press.
1t is doubtful whether or not any
shipper or user of this service has
been notified. and il was only aeci-
dental that The Ardmoreite became
aware of the situation: in fact it was
presumed that railroads would be
run as railroads under the govern
ment, without regard to their lengh
or the peculiar methods used by the
builders ard operators; and now
that the matter has been brought
to the attention OF the tariff COM
mittee it is to be hoped that relief
will be afforded. as the injustice
done TO Ardmore and the towns To-
Gated along the Ringing railroad
are so manifest that il is not likely
it viii be allowed to continue.

Fighting on the Piave appar-
emily is decreasing as the Aus
trian offensive enters upon its
second week. In the mountains
theer has been little activity for
several days, but the Austrians
were reported to be concentrat-
ing large bodies of men there,
presumably for another attempt
90 push southward to the We
netian plain.
Italian resistance and coun
ter attacks from Montelo to the
mouth of the Piave, aided by the
sudden rising of the river, have
played havoc with Austrian
hope OF capturing Montello and
dominating the plain.
Slowly the enemy on the i'm
portant plateau is being driven
back by the Italians, and his Ell
forts at other points have eth
er been blocked or repulsed.
The fighting on Montello con-
tinues intense.
Latins Make Gains.
At the mouth of the Piave
The Italians have made gains,
and it is apparent the Austrians
have been unable to capture the
angle between the old Piave and
the Fossetta canal, which they
reached north of Capo Sile.
West of San Dona di Piave,
where the canal leaves the river,
the Italians have driven back
the Austrians. Vienna claims
repulse of all attacks.
a statement from the office
OF the Italian premier says there
was no infantry fighting Fri
day and that the situation is
unchanged. Seemingly the Aus
trians, in refusing to attack fur
ther, are prepared to admit the
defeat Of their plans and the
victory of the Italians. Austrian
losses have been heavy, and an
Italian newspaper estimates
them at 10000. More than 40
Austrian divisions have been en-
gagged on the battle line and so
of these have suffered heavily.

MYSTERY OF SEMI-NUDE
BODY BESIDE RAILROAD

Bile for the death of his 24-year-old

toned at Great Lakes naval train
ing station.
When the mother of Mrs. Jack
son arrived here today from Leav-
enworth, she declared that her SON
in-law's real name is Irving Nor
gan" and that he formerly lived at
Birmingham, Ala.
The arrest of Jackson is said to
have been accomplished through 4
tenant in the Railway Exchange
building who was customer of
the cigar counter in the lobby where
Mrs. Jackson worked. The man,
whose name is withheld. notified
the police late yesterday cf his sus-
picions, and the arrest and alleged
confession followed within a few
hours. The business man had not
ed the young woman's absence and
believed the press description of the
body to be that of Mrs. Jackson.
