remains of Frank Beasley, who died
at Camp Sewer, Greenville, S. c.,
arrived here and were inferred at
Sandhill cemetery. Young Beasley

Bandy Beasley, Of this place. He
enlisted in the army last April, at
Nashville. Rev. Webb Jackson con-
Quoted the funeral services. The
remains were accompanied home by
Ernest Dunlap, who was detailed for
that purpose. Ernest used consid-
cradle strategy on two occasions to
get the remains home without delay.
Twice he threatened railroad en-

that the remains were properly
transferred.
The parents of the young man did
not know of his illness until notified

GLEASON GLEANINGS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
DEATH OF CAR
LOS ALEXANDER.

Gleason was shocked on Friday,
Dec. 81, when it became known that
Carlos Alexander was dead. Carlos
fell while at work on the stave yard
Friday morning, from an attack OF
apoplexy and remained unconscious
until his death, several hours later.
He was removed to his home and
given every attention.
Funeral services were held from
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing at 10 o'clock by Brother Cason,
attended by, perhaps, the largest
crowd ever seen at funeral in Glea-
son. Interment at Hopewel.
Carlos Alexander was one Of the
most popular young men of Glea-
son. He was 40 years of age, and
had spent all his life here. He was
noble young man--one of the boys
who never forgot his mother. He
looked after her every comfort. He
was always at some kind of work,
and never felt himself above tack
ling the jobs that many another boy
would shun.
The family have the sympathy of
their friends in their great sorrow

ent places, and there is no question
that there is good basis for his
statement.
Where scarlet women thrive and
liquor selling is iRdulged there is
always the accompanying sin of
gambling, which is reputed on un-
questioned authority to be going on
under very thinly veiled cover.
Fourth Menace Is "Dope."
The fourth menace TO the health
and cleanliness of Ardmore is the
selling OF dope" many men being
openly engaged in the sale, some of
them masquerading as doctors, but
most OF them being pretty we'll in
the open. Hundreds of confirmed
dope hends" are the result, and
civil authority is unable to handle
the proposition as the federal law
says that two sales must be proven
to get conviction, and no dope
fiend" ever tells where he buys the
stuff. Ardmore is most notorious
because of this condition.
These are few of the things
which have been going on under the
very eyes of the dear people of Ard
more, and few, if any, of them have
raised their voice in protest; in fact,
there is never a case of prosecution
of some gambler or bootlegger or
someone who is being forced into
the army that one or more good
citizens do not go before the au-
thorities and plead to get him off.
Is it any wonder that the law en-
forcement officers have been CON
vinced that public sentiment was
against law enforcement, and in con
sequence they gave the people about
what they seemed to want?
There is no doubling the fact that
wickedness in many forms prevails
in the oil field towns, and that it
should be curbed, but the greatest
harm of all is to the physical con-
dition of the men who have gone
from those districts into the army,
almost 90 per cent of the total num-
Der being affected by syphilis or
other loathsome disease, according
to the war department. This means
that these men are big asset to the
kaiser and a liability for Uncle Sam

LONDON COMMENT
ON BATTLE MIXED
WITH eau TITO n
SEVERAL OF THE LEADING
JOURNALS ARE SILENT
ON EDITORIAL PAGE.

London, May 29.-Several of the
morning newspapers withhold com
ment on the battle in the Aisne sec
tor. Others, while admitting the
Germans have gained a substantial
initial success, deprecate any idea
of treating the enemy's advance too
seriously 1t is recalled that simi-
lar thrusts have not been followed
by continuous success.
The Daily Chronicle fears the
advance has involved a big loss in
guns, but thinks IN other respects
1t need not cause undue alarm. The
paper adds:
Trust to French Reserves.
THE country is so difficult that
General Foch's reserves should
have time to intervene before the
strategic situation is altered ser
iously to the detriment of the allies.
The Germans, however. probably
have done rather better than they
expected, although their achieve
ment thus far does not go much
beyond undoing the efforts of last
years French victories.
IF the German successes had
been won two months ago." says
The Daily Graphic. they would
have created a widespread feeling
of alarm. Experience, however, has
shown that initial successes fire.
quently are followed by long pauses
of impotence. Consequently, we
are able, without making light of
the new German advance, to re-
gard it calmly"
The Times sees indications that
the entire line which the Germans
assaulted was manned rather light
ly and thinks it clear that the re-
tirement was a deliberate outcome
Of a definite resolution made swift
ly in view OF the formidable char
acter of the onslaught. Ii adds:
Fears Many Guns Lost.
The significance of the German
advance cannot be minimized and
the advance to the Vesle converts
the attack into an operation Of
great importance and some menace.
The loss of the positions which the
allies have sacrificed so much to
maintain is regrettable develop

BATTLE SUMMARY

There has been no let-up as
yet in the German drive south
from the Aisne, and both the
French and the British have
been forced to give further
ground. Confidence is express
ed in Paris, however, that the
allied reserves, now rapidly
coming up, will shortly stop the
enemy advance.
Apparently. the Germans al
ready are being held in the CEN
ter OF their advance, along the
Vesle river, in the vicinity OF
FiSmes, where the point OF the
German wedge has been thrust.
The pressure on both the allied
fiankS, however, has been such
that both have been compelled
TO fall back.
On the west, the French lines
have been withdrawn to the
easterly outskirts. of scissors.
about seven miles south of the
nearest point OF the battle line
before the new German drive
was begun on Monday. This
considerably broadens to the
west the front on which the
enemy is advancing.
On the east, the Franco-Brit-
ism line has been pulled back
from ST. Thierry, northwest OF
Rheims, where it rested yes
terday, to the heights south
and southeast of that town.
This also widens the front OF
the enemy thrust.
The bringing of scissors in
to the battle area may indicate
that the weight OF the German
blow has been shifted IN this
southwesterly direction and is
being exerted along the rail-
way that leads to Paris from
that town. The possibility of
the trend of the enemy push
being turned in this direction
has been forecast by the COM
The Americans west OF
Montdidier have resisted an
other German counter attack
on the new positions won by
the American troops yesterday,
when they drove in nearly a
mile and captured the village
Of Cantigny. The Germans
wererepulsed in their second
effort, as in their FIRST, and suf-
Tered heavy losses.
