Nothing is quite so persistent as tie German propaganda. If the Germans had given as much attention to legiti- mate industrial and agricultural pur- suits as they have to war and propa- ganda they could have made greater progress in the conquest of the world than they have by war and the auxil- iary methods they have used to pro- mote that war. In this country all manner and kinds of propaganda are constantly cropping out. There is no business industry or vocation ill which the Huns have not made some attempt to cripple the government by their in- sidious propaganda. For instance, there has recently been circulated a story that there is a scarcity of glass jars for canning foods, which when traced to Its origin proved to be Ger man propaganda for the purpose of hindering the preservation of foods.
 It must be that the Germans, their sympathiZers, the paeifists, and every other faction of that ilk, have raised and maintained an enormous fund to carry on all sorts of propaganda which could in any way tend to hinder the United States in the prosecution of the war.

ALL STRIKES HURT
 MACHINERY IF WAR
THEREFORE THE ARBITRATION OF LABOR DISPUTES IS PRAc-
 TIcALLY ENFORCED NOW.
C0MPULSION REALLY MORAL
Senate Must Soon Pass on an Out-and- Out Prohibition Proposition-Nelson Thinks Soldiers Shouldn't Be Cod died Too Much.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

ington.-Arbitratio of labor disputes is practically enforced now; not quite compulsory arbitration" to which labor has made considerable ob- jection. but it practically amounts to that. Nearly all of the labor of the present day is tied up with the war In one way or another. There can be no strike of any proportions which does not affect the war work being carried on by the government. Con- sequently 1t has become necessary for the government to take up and settle labor disputes.
 After these labor disputes are arbi- trated by the commission which was named by the president, there is no le- gal power to compel men to accept the decisions. Employers must ac- cept them, because most of the em- ployers are engaged in doing work nee essary to carry on the war. But there Is a great moral "compulsion" which Is sufficient to make the labor men accept just and equitable conclusions of the authorities Public opinion in this country would not justify strike which would interfere with the mak- ing of materials necessary to carry on the war.

Americans, both civil officials and military men. cannot conceal the exultation they feel over the sue eesses of the allies and particularly the splendid work which Americans have been doing on the western front. But all of them feel it necessary to press the soft pedal on their conversa- tfon so as not unduly to elate or excite the imagination of the people of this country in regard to future battles. While there are not many officials of the present day who have any personal recollection of what took place during the Civil war. they are historians enough to know that on several occa sions it seemed that the Union was go- ing to triumph at once, although 1t turned out afterwards that the Con- federates fought on for long time.
 When Germany cracks, she will go to pieces very suddenly" is the ex- presSion l heard from careful obs server of the progress of the war. But 1t is very doubtful whether Germany will go all to pieces and whether there will not be many hard-fought battles before the allied armies are across the Rhine. Officials in Washington do not want Americans to become over-con- fident on account of what has been achieved since the troops of this coun- try have been participating in the great war.

100000 of the 100000 soldiers in below the age of twenty-one. Such an cid Civil war soldier as Senator Nei- son of Minnesota is very insistent that the boys from eighteen to twenty-one be given an opportunity to get into the war. He and others who believe with him will strenuously oppose a provision which will be offered to the new draft law providing that the boys from eighteen to nineteen must not be sent abroad until after they have had a years training. Instead of taking a year to make a soldier, it has been demonstrated that the alert young men of America make good soldiers in six months. Army officers with experience believe that far better results will be obtained with the men below twenty one than with those over thirS-one.

Will congress be considered an es- sential industry? That question will be very interesting to 13 senators and 110 representatives who are not yet forty-five years of age. When the first draft bill was under consideration a number of members of congress, led by Speaker Champ Clark. tried to have the age limit extended to sixty years, and all the way down to the figure fin ally agreed upon. At that time quite number of men voeiferously an nounced that they were willing to take their chances in the draft. It will be interesting to notice whether the boards will decide that senators and representatives are engaged in an es- sential industry. But then it is more than likely that most of them wifi es- cape by being put in what is known as the deferred classification list.

account of the long haul and low
price, but last season work was
resumed by the Western Asphalt
Company, reported to be affiliated
with the Barrett Manufacturing
Company, manufacturers of Tar
via. This product is now being
hauled by trucks to Duncan for
rail shipments.
A deposit OF asphalt south of
Hewitt covers about 90 acres and
this product is now being used
in the paving OF Ardmore streets.
Road Building Material.
In Ardmore asphalt the bitumen
is an excellent binder for sand, a
desirable quality for road building.
The supply in this quadrangle is
practically inexhaustible, and it is
the logical material for building
roads, and this asphalt is cas-
lily handled for this purpose
because it breaks down read
lily under heat. The rock as
phalt OF Ardmorc has all the de
sirablc qualities Of liquid asphalt
and is especially desirable for
country road building because it
is naturally mixed with mineral
matter and needs no added con
tent for this purpose. The Ard
more asphalt differs from the as
nhalt nrodnct OF KentncAv and

the enquirer stated that at the
price quoted the asphalt would
cost only 50 cents a ton more
than asphalt had been costing
shipped from Sicily, and he want
ed to contract for the paving OF
streets in Copenhagen with Ard
more asphalt.
A country road from Tulsa to
the Creek County line, seven and
one-half miles long, was surfaced
last summer with Ardmore as
phalt.
There are many other uses for
asphalt besides paving and road
surfacing, and the industry is
quite likely to become of consid-
cradle Importance to Ardmore in
the future.
Some idea of the varied uses of
asphalt outside of street paving
and road SWfacing may be obtain
ed through citation OF some Of the
products OF the John f. Nolan
Company OF Ardmore. One Of the
principal products OF the Nolan
company is a fire-resisting paint
or protective coating, used large
ly on boiler fronts and smoke
stacks. This product has been
thoroughly tried out here in Ard
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-03-14

more as well as elsewhere, and its
remarkable fire resisting quality is
beyond comparison with any 9TH
er product of its kind on the mar
ket. Another asphalt product Of
this company is a waterproof pro-
tective coating. To illustrate the
quality of this product, the in
side OF the city water reservoir at
Marietta was coated with the prod
uct considerably more than a year
ago, and there are no signs OF de-
terioration yet, nor has it ever in
any degree affected the quality Of
the water.
The Nolan company is making
so many uses of the Ardmore as
phalt that space in this article will
not permit description of all Of
them; but there is one point which
should be brought out, and that
is, Ardmore asphalt has qualities
not found in other asphalts. For
instance, the Nolan company
makes an enamel paint used large
ly for coating stoves and stove
pipes. For years chemists have
been trying to produce an enam-
el Of this kind that would be od-
orlesS under heat conditions. Mr..
Nolan, as chemist for large

Asphalt Deposits Of Ardmnore
Geological Quadrangle

There are five asphalt segrega-
lions in the Ardmore geological
quadrangle and several deposits
which have not been segregated,
and which have not been exploit
ed. At the Downard asphalt
mines, about three and one-half
miles southwest of Ardmore, there
is a vein OF rock asphalt 81 feet
wide by three-quarters OF a mile
long. Two other veins nearby
parallel the Downard vein which
have not been exploited. The
Snyder asphalt veins near Wood
ford are on a vein % feet wide
and seven miles long.
A segregation near Pooleville,
in the northern part OF the county,
has not been thoroughly defined,
but is thought to cover about ten
acres. West Of Cornish, at a
point locally known as Tar
Springs is an asphalt deposit COW
cring an area Of about one square
mile and defined as about IS feet
thick. Richard Lcgrand had a
plant at Tar Springs about the
year 1904 for extracting the as
phalt from the sand, but the long
haul to a railroad and a drop in
the market price of asphalt caused

not.
The first thoroughfare to be
paved with rock asphalt was
Threadneedle street, London, in
May, 1869. The world famed Pa
risian boulevards are paved with
rock asphalt.

Shelby Downward, who has

than any other one man, recently
