NO MORE PLEASURE
CARS CAN Be MADE
AFTER JANUARY FIRST

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Manufac-
turers of passenger automobiles
were advised by the war industries
board to get on 100 per cent war
work basis for their plants, before
Jan |, 1919, in letter addressed to
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce responding to its pro.
posal for voluntary 50 per cent
curtailment of passenger car pro-
ducton. The board says the manu-
facturers can be sure of continuing
their industry and preserve their or
ganizations only by converting to
war orders.
The letter was in response to a
proposal made yesterday by Hugh
Chalmers on the part of the manu-
facturers voluntarily to curtail the
passenger car industry 50 per cent.
The war industries board declared
that the present situation regarding
steel and other materials needed for
war work gave little assurance OF
material required for the manufac-
tuer of passenger automobiles, even
after providing for war require
ments.
Pending receipt by the board OF
sworn inventories of materials on
hand requested last July l6, no ma
terials will be permitted passenger
car manufacturers, the letter states.

TO ORGANIZE MILLION
YOUTHS FOR INDUSTRY
AND MILITARY TRAINING

Washington, August l0.-Or-
ganization of a million youths
to do industrial work, take mill
tary training in preparation for
later army service and at the
same time attend specially ar
ranged technical or vocational
schools is planned by the gov
ernment as a means of dealing
with the growing shortage of
labor without drawing boys
away from their schooling.
The corps will be developed
through extension of the Unit
ed States boys working reserve
which already has enrolled ESQ.,
900 youths between the ages of
10 and 2l, engaged Mainly this
summer in farm work. Many of
these boys will go back to
school this fall, but large pro-
portion, together with others to
be enrolled, will be directed in
to industrial work to fill vacan-
cies left by men now being
drafted for the army.
These boys are to be organ
lied as units in each community,
serving under an adult training
officer, taking courses of study
in night schools, or by some
other systematic program, liv-
ing either at home or in camps
and wearing the uniform of the
reserve corps, which will be of
gray cloth with roll collar jack

fund OPENED FOR
AV|ATORS' MEMORIAL
ONE DOLLAR CONTRIBU-
TIONS ASKED FOR EREC-
TION OF SHAFT

On July 7 Lieut.. f. B. Sullivan
of Gainesville, Texas, and Sergeant
Doyle of Grand Rapids, Mich, who
with Lieut.. +. B. Gish had been to
Ardmore to visit friends. making the
trip from Hicks field in their air
planes, met death just as they were
starting for the return trip, having
ascended only short distance in
the air when they fell, enveloped in
flames, and their bodies were burned
to a crisp before many spectators.
Lieut.. Gish had started out first and
did not know of the accident until
he landed in Gainesville, when he
returned to Ardmore at once in his
plane. The commanding officer OF
Hicks field came here and made a
searching investigation OF the cause
of the accident, but no one has any
knowledge of his findings.
Ard more was greatly shocked and
at once the thought of many people
turned to the erection of some sort
of a memorial marking the spot
where the aviators met their death,
but this thought did not take form
until recently when the Rotary Club
took up the matter of raising SlOO
for suitable memorial. starting
the list with $40 and asking others
to contribute 81 each. The public
should consider it privilege to con-
....L u, SC
These aviators, preparing them
selves for service at the battle front,
were Just as much in the service OF
the country and are entitled to the
same honorable remembrance as
those who reach the front and die
fighting for the cause.
The owners OF the property where
the men met their death have do
mated the plot of ground and as soon
as the money is subscribed, suit
able memorial will be erected. Cash
subscriptions may be made at the
office of the w. Fl. Gregg Co. 2l4
West Main street, and mail sub
scriptions may be sent to The ard
moreite or the Gregg Co.
Acknowledgment OF all subscIip-
tions will be made in The Ardmore-
ite as received. Monday should see
this fund completed.

AMERICAN TROOPS
-BRICADED WITH BRITISH
Sammies to Assist Tommies in
Breaking Hun Positions
Around Amiens.

Washington, Aug. S.-American
troops, brigaded with the British, are
in action in the great new British Of
fensive before Amiens. Until their
Identity is disclosed by Gen. Pershing,
however. officials here will not say
what units are actually there.
On July Gen. March stated that
the Thirty third division, made up of
Illinois troops, was in action on the
Picardy front. Since then, however,
army officers say, they have been re-
turned to Gen. Pershings direct COM
mand. Today's offensive Is designed,
army officers say, to remove serious
menace from the British front. The
Germans have been concentrating their
forces in great strength at Amiens,
and 1t is believed here that the pur-
pose of the present drive Is to shove
them back there and thus compel a
general retirement along the northern
front.
1t is assumed here that the with
drawal of reserves from all along the
Picardy front to save the crown
princes army in its retreat from the
Soissons- Rheims salient has weakened
the German forces sufficiently to make
another allied success possible. Some
army officers here tod ~, however,
were inclined to believe that Maishals
Foch and Haig had discovered evi-
dences that the Germans were plan
ming an attack to lift the pressure on
the Vesle line and had simply "beaten
them to It,"
