NEW FAD ADOPTED HERE.
EVERYBODY is WEARING
DIAMONDS.

More people are wearing dia-
monds in Ardmore just now than
ever before and people who never
were able before to own adiamond.
The introduction OF the new Jewel,
The Radium diamond, has created
a fad in the city which is having
run.
The attractive window display of
the sparkling gems at the northeast
corner Main and Washington SITS.
is very beautiful. 1t is fad, but a
fad that has taken among all classes,
y Radium diamond has not been
secured according to the best infor-
nation obtainable but it has given
surprising satisfaction.
An incident during the third days
business OF the introduction OF the
Iadium diamond in the city was a
passed between two pop
ular young men of the city Satur-
Gay night, when one OF the two Of
Tered the other a scarf pin from the
selection, if he could discover the
true stone from the Radium. To
prove the challenge the challenger
took 4 diamond pin from his scarf
in the absence of his companion,
put it in a tray with several similar
Radium pins and then the compan-
ion was osked to select the real
diamond on the proposition that ii
he did so he could keep the pin.
The companion is wearing Radium
now, and the real stone is in the
scarf of its original possessor. The
display spoken of is to be seen in
the window at the City Drug Store,
No. East Main street, where they
arc holding a special dcmonstra-
ton sale of these beautiful Radium
diamonds.

THIRD EMBRYOIC
RUSS REPUBLIC
FORMER COMMANDER OF
BLACK SEA FLEET LEADS
AGAINST BOLSHEVIKI.

Peking, March 0.-Plans for re-
storation of popular government in
Siberia under Admiral kolchack,
former commander Of the Russian
Black Sea fleet through the organi-
zation Of an army to cooperate with
General SemcnoG, the leader OF the
anti-bolShcviH government in ST.
IBERIA, are now in preparation, it is
learned here.
Already a newly formed organi-
cation OF Russians has begun en-
listing men for the support of Gen,
eral Semcnof, and yesterday four
field guns and IS machine guns were
forwarded to him on the Manchu-
rian railway.
Admiral Kolchak, who is a veteran
Of the so-Iapancse war, and was
the head OF the Russian naval COM
mission that visited the United
States last year, is now at Shang-
hal.
1t is proposed that General Semc-
notf, with the support OF the for
ceS to be organized to reinforce
him, will advance from the town OF
Manchuria, on the Manchurian-
trans-Baikal border, where he is
now fighting, as far east as Irkutsk,
tome 800 Miles distant on the Trans
Siberian railroad. There he is to
await Japanese support in money
and men which it is declared have
;lready been promised him. CFrom
Irkutsk to the Ural mountains on
the borden OF European Russia is
a distance OF about l,800 miles.1
The latest kilograms from Cen
cral Semcnoff show that he is fight

erland in 1917.
An interesting account OF the ne
gotiations leading to the repatriation
Of wounded soldiers is contained in
the first report Of Major Edward
Favre Of the internment service OF
the Swiss Army, which has just
made its appearance. The question
OF an exchange of wounded prison
ers was taken up, the report says,
in the first months of the war, but
almost insurmountable difficulties
arose because Of the fact that the
belligerents feared to risk releasing
these prisoners. who, while unable
to resume their positions on the
front, might be used in occupations
which would free other modified
men for combatant service.
Following a conversation which
he had in Paris with M. Millerand,
Minister of War, Gustave Ador,
president Of the international Red
Cross committee, proposed to NJ.
Hoffman then head Of the Swiss
foreign office, that it would be pos
sible to intern the wounded soldiers
in Switzerland. The Swiss Federal
Council received this suggestion IA
vorably and the greater part of 1915
was spent in negotiations between
Switzerland and the warning pow
ers,
In December, 1915, an agreement
was finally concluded between Swift

NEWLY MARRIED MEN
OFTEN WORST SLACKERS
Then Other Men Fight" to Get
Into Army.

Lincoln, Neb., March 9.-The
man who married after the gov
ernment's selective service law went
into effect and seeks to avoid mill
tary service on the ground that he
has dependent wife, was given as
the most common of Stacker cases
by member OF one OF the draft
boards in Lincoln.
Commenting on the work OF the
boards here, now practically COM
plete so far as the first draft is
concerned, this man said there were
all kinds of excuses put forth to
eyade service, but that the most
numerous were those who asked to
be excused because of their wives.
On the other side of the picture
are the cases of hundreds of men
who did everything in their power
to get into service despite the fact
that the local boards held they were
unable to do military service.
Prominent in this class was
Serbian. While member OF the
Serbian army his feet were perma-
nently injured in a seventy-day re-
treat before the enemy, 50 that he
was disqualified for further military
service. He came to America, and
as soon as the selective draft law
began to operate, appeared before
one Of the boards here, in ,sting
that he be taken. His request was
at first denied, but 50 insistent was
he that the board finally certified
him for service. lie was oyer;oyed
but his JOY was short lived .or he
was discharged at the cantonment
soon after his arrival there.

AIR SUPREMACY WILL WIN THE WAR.

The Courier has contended all along that the issue be-
tween democracy and autocracy will be- to great extent
decided in the air. 1t has believed and argued that if
either side could gain absolute supremacy in the air the
would be over in very short time. 1t is
fully convinced of that fact than before and others
are beginning to view the question from the stand
point 1t stands to reason that if the Allies can drive the
Boches out of the air completely and then be able ope
ate without molestaton within the German lines their
work of bombing concentration camps railway stations
munon camps munton dumps, gun works, etc., to say
nothing of cities and towns, will become so effective
that the Boche cannot possibly stand the strain Since
the perfection of the Liberty motor and the huge bombing
plane with carrying capacity of three tons the anti-ar
craft gun is of little value. The machines can fly so high
and at such phenomenal speed that the chances of hit by
an anti-aircraft gun are very remote.
Germany has already had the colossal nerve to pro-
pose that the Entente and the Central enter into an
agreement to refrain from bombing unfortfed cities and
towns This proposal their goes prove that they
already beginning to feel the effects of the Allies SUI
perority in the air. 1t now well established fact that
the Allies have the advantage in air fighting, not only
the number of planes but in speed and ability of their air
men, Recently in weeks fighting the Allied armen
brought down 173 German planes while only 36 of their
own failed to returned to their bases This proof posi-
tive of superiority and the Americans have only re-
Gently begun to play important part in the air fighting
1t is now proposed to establish an air route across the
Atlantic. Don't sneer at the idea Not many years ago
the trip across the English channel by aplane was con-
sdered very doubtful venture Not many years ago the
trip from Chicago to New York was thought to be an i'm
possibility by all but very few The Atlantic ocean will
be crossed by arpanes not one but maryland that with
in few MONTHS and when that deam so called becomes
reality and America gets into the air fighting and bomb

to The American armen, although representatives
of civilized country not going to stand the order

necessary to bring peace to the world at the earliest
possible moment and the thing necessary is to kill Ger.
