JUDGE WHITTIER
SPEAKS HERE

Continued from rage l.)
olution and Federation of Women's
club work in the East, and Judge
Wintner, were much impressed with
Ardmore, and paid the city many
compliments.
The thing that impresses me
most in the West is the apparent
solidarity OF its people. We are
doing much the same things in the
East, and, perhaps, in larger way
but the enthusiasm, the earnestneSS
with which YOU work and your dis
play of eagerness to do big things
is inspiring. Why, learn that you
exceeded your Liberty loan quota
in week, and | was wondering
why / should attempt to urge you
to buy bonds. But | find you have
a slogan with real punch in it
a Liberty bond in every home, -
and ] am sure that you are going
to come mighty near reaching your
goal. Fine, fine; it is admirable, this
spirit OF the West!'
Judge Wntner will speak at 4
o'clock tomorrow night and the only
way Ardmore can show its full ap-
probation Of her guests courtesy in
returning to the city is to make
certain that there will be such a
crowd to greet him as will tax the
capacity OF the building.
Members OF the Liberty loan com
mittees have been invited to meet
Judge Wintner upon the stage at
Convention Hall at 7:45 o'clock to-
morrow night. Members OF the
women's division committees have
also been invited to occupy seats on
the stage.
The Philharmonic Club Patriotic
Quartet will furnish music for the
meeting.
At noon tomorrow, at the Whit
tington, Judge Wntner will be the
guest of the Lions Club at its semi
monthly luncheon, at which the
Lions Club Patriotic Quartet will
furnish the music.

rampage. He had AS automatic
pistol and caused a scattering of ne
groes near a picture show on East
Main street, across the Santa Fe
tracks by firing several shots at
them. Policeman Walter Day placed
the soldier under arrest, but he re-
fused to give up his pistol. In a

there until he became sober, when
he was released and will be sent
back to his company at Camp

more men, has just received report
from the properties in the Miami

TO the stockholders. Mine No. !,
in which a rich cave was found, has
been deepened and the ore face eN-
tended. 1t is now producing 4 hne
grade Of zinc, free from lead or lron'
which is selling at a premium above
the market. The first sale OF TINS
production. made last week, brought
a premium of S. a ton. Shalt NO.
is now completed and ready for op-
Grafton as soon as sufficient sup
ply OF water is available, and an
other shaft is being deepened to
nroyide the water. This may take
ten days or two weeks. In deepen
inc shaft No. new vein was dis
covered at Us feet, with 4 oO-toot
face OF ore rich in lead and zinc.
The phenomenal records Of the Mi
ami field have been made from the
lower ores. owing to the greater lace
of the veins and the more econom-
cal operation of the larger veins.
Between 5000 and 1000 tons OF pay
dirt is ON the surface at No. : shaft,
and the ore is richer in lead than
that from No. !. Lead, just now, j.,
in more demand than zinc.

FOCH'S DEFENSE PLANS
FOLLOWS PROGRAM
Forces Enemy to Show Plans to
Allied Commander.


Ottawa, Ont, April 1.-THE des-
perate fight of the British troops |
to repel attacks made upon them by F.
overwhelming German forces on
the slopes of MeSsines ridge is de-
scribcd in a dispatch received today
from the Reuter- correspondent at
British headquarters in France.
The dispatch said the enemy had
carried Wytschaete and the greater
part Of the Messines ridge, and had
established himself in Spanbrokmo-
len.
The enemy is continuing his fore
ing tactics and is employing large
masses OF fresh troops, the dispatch
adds. Since the opening OF the
western offensive, the enemy has
thrown in l20 divisions, many OF
which have been used two and even
three times.
Analysis Of Situation.
To-day, news is not so good as
one could wish, but the following
views are suggested:
I'VE are confronted by enormous
concentrations OF men and guns.
The purpose OF the enemy has been
revealed as an operation attempting
to separate the British and French
armies by rushing on the British.
General Foch, in closest agreement
with Field Marshal Haig, is aiming
not only at arresting the enemy, but
at counter attack which shall de
leat the Germans. Therefore, with
IN certain limits the sound policy is
to allow the Germans to spend their
surplus power as layishly as possible
in order to reach the stage OF equal
lty or even lnteriorlty,
Foch Is Willy.
"On the other hand, General Foch
is endeaYoring to avoid the enemy

not merely to Ireland but to Il
empire.
Germany Calls More Men.

In introducing the man-power bi
he said the government had consid
cred nothing but the best means 10
for prosecuting the war. They wer
confronted with a need for NOR.
men because the Germans had jus
summoned to the colors anothe
$4,000 men for training. Great Brit
ain must make ready for them, an
therefore the government had to in
troduce a measure OF the most draS
tice character.
Nobody would deny the grea
emergency, and the government in
cluded lerland reluctantly and onl
because they are convinced tina
there would be a great sense of in
justice and resentment at the carry
ing out OF this measure unless Ire
land were included.

placed his entire force Of men at work

Plant More Wheat,
Is Urgent Plea of
Food Administrator

II. {. Morse, county food administra-
tor, who has just returned from a bust
ness trip to Dallas, Texas, is urging
farmers to plant more wheat this year.
Since 1913 farmers have been receiv-
ing for their wheat a gradually increas-
ing proportion of the price paid by the
consumer for bread.
In 1918, he says, the farmer got 70
percent, the miller added Q percent to
the cost, and % percent was added to
the cost between the flour at the mill
and the bread on the consumers ia
bic. In 1914 the farmer got % per-
cent. the miller added 6 percent and the
for distributing the flour and
making II into bread was g percent.
