WHEN WILL FOCH USE
HIS STRONG RESERVE
IS ANXIOUS QUESTION
ARDMORE MUST
INCREASE CITY'S
WATER SUPPLY
ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY
NECESSARY TO ASSURE
GROWTH OF CITY.

One hundred representative bust
ness men OF OklaNoma are in Wash
ington making an effort to have the
government extend war contracts to
Western and Southwestern states,
and particularly to give Oklahoma
industrial plants an opportunity to
supply part of the great quantity OF
material demanded at present. This
delegation, having conferred with
representatives of the government
and secured the aid OF the Okla
homa delegation in congress, is as
sured that this state will be consid-
cred and that opportunity will be
given for Oklahoma manufacturers
to be placed on a footing with those
of Eastern states that since the be-
ginning OF the war have enjoyed a
monopoly on this production. With
this secured to the state, it then be-
comes necessary for its towns and
cities to put forth their best efforts to
secure their pro rata Of the articles
for which the government is asking.
Ardmore Has the Resources.
Ardmore is represented on this
delegation, and its ability to fill con-
tracts granted, must be positively
set forth to the government. Ard
more has the factories and is rapidly
constructing others. 1t has the raw
material, in the center Of a great
agricultural area, ample railroad Ia
cilities and gas and oil, which are
the cheapest of fuels; it has the
men imbued with the proper spirit
and prOgreSsiveness. 1t has the cap
ital. 1t has everything necessary
and in the greatest abundance, will
the exception of water. While ther,
is water for the present needs, ther,
is not a sufficient supply to meet the
demands OF industries knocking a
the doors of the city. Ardmore ha'
doubled in population in few year
and the industrial plants, making
the heaviest demand upon its waite
supply, have been established onl!
recently. These, with those now il
course Of construc. ION, and even ;
small part of those contemplated, d
greater supply of watsv must be Sc
cured.

PRIEST AND BANKER
HEROES IN BATTLE
BOTH ARE AMERICANS AND
SHOW VALOR OF THE
HIGHEST TYPE.
lBy The Associated Press.)


With the American Army in
France, Wednesday, April H.
Commanders Of units who partici-
pated in the several days of fighting
last week in company with the
French in the Apremont wood sec
tor are finding it difficult to pick out
men who especially distinguished
themselves in the operations.
One commander said that every
man acted like hero and it was dif-.
hcult to choose the most deserving
cases One of the most popular men
with the soldiers on this sector is,
the Rev Des Wales; a Roman Cath ,
olic priest of New Bedford, Mass.
who is living with the men in AM
unofficial capacity, he having come
to France as representative of the
Knights of Columbus.
When the attacks began, Rev. Des
Wales, Drawing the dangers of shell
and machine gun fire, went to the
casualty clearing station near the
front line to administer to the
wounded. He assisted in dressing
the injuries OF the soldiers and ga
each man a word of cheer. He hand
ed out cigarettes to the men who
smoked.
Another popular man IS a young
banker of Springfield Mass. who
was pressed into service as a stretch
er bearer. He was the smallest man
in the outfit and after several trips
became so exhausted h. was unable
to hold the stretcher. He refused to
give up and had his companions tie
the stretcher to his wrists.
\ most pathetic story from the
American lines is that of a young

SAvAGERY At ITS WORST
Turn Machine Guns on Helpless In
habitants After Town Is Fired
and Kill Many, Including Children
and Women.


Moscow, Wednesday, April u
Because the peasants in the village
OF Novosclki in the government of
Mohilev resisted an armed requisi-
tion of money by German troops
and killed an officer in the resulting
scuitic, the Germans burned the vii
lage and from machine guns placed
around it they fired upon the inhabi-
tants, including children and women
who tried to escape, killing many of
them.
A protest against this atrocity has
been communicated to the German
government by NJ. Tchitcherin,
Russian minister of foreign affairs.
The minister also mentioned the
fact that the Germans killed an en-
tire family even the little children,
when they were informed that one
member had participated in guerilla
warfare against them.
"'Ihe peoples commisary for for
eign atfaireS,' the protest concludes,
expressed feeling OF the deepest
Indignation and most resolutely pro-
tests against such acts OF violence as
being unworthy Of a cultured people
and contradictory to the elementary
principles of human society. 1t IS
hoped the German government will
investigate thoroughly and punish
the offenders

AMERICAN MEN
AND GUNS GET
ENEMY BLOOD
AID FRENCH IN REGAINING
SECTIONS-IN LORRAINE
SECTOR THEY RAID.
CBy The Associated Press.)

With the American Army in
France, Wednesday, April H.
Twice in p hours an American
company has assisted French troops
in neighboring sector to regain
trenches temporarily taken by the
Germans. The company wus lcA y"
a captain who took his troops out
of the trenches in the face OF the
most violent machine gun and artil-
lcry fire. Each time he succeeded in
driving out the enemy and inflicting
heavy damage.
American troops operating in the
Lorraine sector have taken over
control of No Mans Land. Patrol
ling parties are making almost night
ly visits up to the German wire en-
tanglements without encountering
any resistance.
A lieutenant and a party OF twelve
have made hve-hour exploring trip,
penetrating to the German third line
and making maps OF machine guns
and sniper posts and strong points
without being seen by the enemy.
An artillery lieutenant in an OBJ
servation post sighted German
field kitchen coming up to the enemy
line. He gave his battery the posi-
ton and the kitchen was destroyed
with three shots.

BRITISH GRAND FLEET
READY FOR BATTLE
CATTEGAT ACTION SHOWS
ENEMY'S ASSERTIONS
BASELESS AND FALSE.

London, April 1S.-The British
naval success against German mine
sweepers in the Cattegat recently,
says the Daily Telegraph, is sufi-
cient answer to the Germans who
say that the British grand fleet is in
hiding.
Contrasting the British fleet in the
Cattegat with the German raids in
the straits of Dover, the Daily Telc-
graph points out that while the Ger
mans on their bases on the Belgian
coast are only twenty miles from the
straits, the exploit in the Cattegat
was carefully planned operation
conducted more than 500 miles from
the nearest point on the British
coast.
"Such sweep" it adds, can be
made only by a power in real con-
troll of the sea confronted by an enc
my who will not risk protecting his
small craft, suspecting that such in
tervention might be the prelude to a
general action which he desires to
avoid. The Germans had large naval
forces near the scene on this par
ticular Monday. They did not send

HEALTH IN ALL ARMY
CAMPS REMAINS GOOD

Washington, April 18.-Health OF
all troops in the United States CON
tinues good, the war department an
nounced today in a report covering
the week ending April II. Both
hospital admission and death rates
were lower than in the preceding
week. The highest rates were at
National army cantonments, prob
ably because of the mobilization of
large numbers of drafted men. The
total number of deaths at all camps
was 2S5, as against POO the week be-
fore. Pneumonia continues in all
the larger Northern camps with
some increase in the number of new
cases reported. No other disease is
classed as generally prevalent.

Judge Nu7t17er Speaks In
Convention Hall Tonight

yention Hall early tonight, in order
to meet Judge Wintner. Seats will
be provided upon the stage for
those who have been active in the
various campaigns.
Judge Wintner spoke at Madill
yesterday afternoon and at Durant
last night and his audiences at each
place praise highly his excellent ad-
dress on war finance and war activi-
ties. An examination of an abstract
of the address to be given by Judge
Wintner tonight clearly demon
strates his close touch with all pres
ent problems. He is an eloquent
speaker, has a message that will in
terest every one, and any who fail
to attend the Convention Hall meet

DECISIVE STROKE By ALLIED
COMMANDER IS EXPECTEDDA|LY
Enemy So Far Has Used
Half Million Reserves

Ottawa, April 49, Anxiety as to when General
FOch will make used Of the allied reserve which it says
exists, but has not been called upon, is expressed in
dispatch from London to Reuters agency here today
"There still is anxiety as to when General Foch
will make the decisive stroke, now that the British
have stood four weeks of hammering by the immense
German reserves estimated at APO 900 men, in fashion
which led the French writer's to describe the British
armies as the wing of sacrifice" says the Dispatch
Experts do not indorse the opinion advanced in
some quarters that the advance critical in the north
ern theaer has been definitely checked 1t is agreed
that the Germans have not obtained the decisive result
aimed at due to the extreme stubbonness of the Brit
iSh resistance.
"The battle appears to have been following the
course of the great series Of German husts Of Octo
Der, 1914 which ended in Ypres and failure for the
enemy There then was no allied reserve That re-
serve now exists and has not yet been used.
"There will probably be continuous fluctuations in
the northern area for some time to come, but the
salient fact of the fighting is the staying power of the
British soldiers"

began to pull back under cover

If the Germans anticipated
any such move they did not look
for it at the time it happened.
They began to push cautiously
forward when it became appar-
ent that nothing unusual had
happened. They found the for
ward positions vacant and ad-
yanced in greater numbers.
Then the British artillery open
ed at an opportune moment and
deluged the whole territory with
an inferno of fire which worked
havoc among the wandering in

The Germans must now pull
forward and advance under fire
ON the difficult heights, and
must drag their artillery up over
bad ground to the positions
which it occupied before the
British offensive began last sum
mcr. 1t will be an undesirable
task.

would soon be rejoicing to see

But the entire British army is
