He fell in with the officer who had

Was it not the order that no

OPPOSED.
ALLIES WERE D|LATORY
Entente Should Have Helped Ke-
rensky When He Was in Office
and Struggling to Continue War,
Englishnan Declares in London.

London, June 29.-The question
of what the attitude of the allies
toward Russia should be, espe, ally
with reference to former Premier
kerensky's appearance upon the
scene, is discussed by the Daily
News today in an editorial under
the signature of its editor. The ar
ticle contends that if the cause OF
freedom is the cause OF the allies,
then the allies should have helped
the revolution when it was given
birth, but it declares that they neith-
er welcomed nor aided it.
with the exception of the Unit
ed States" the writer asserts, the
allies have for more than year
looked on with cold distrust. They
have thought OF interests when they
should have thought of principles. y
Remarking that the allies did not
help kerensky when he might have
held his position with their aid,
which it interprets as an invitation
to the allies to enter Russia and
repress the bolsheviki as a prelim-
mary to raising an army to fight
the Germans.
After discussing at length the
practicability of military interven-
ton through Siberia, apart from
the question of expediency, the ar
ticle dismisses the project as imprac-
ticable and reaches the conclusion
that Kerensky's method is not the
way to regain the confidence OF the
Russian people and bring them to
the side of the allies.

CARTER WAS FIRST
"0VER THE TOP" IN
WAR STAMP DRIVE
JUNE % CAMPAIGN ESTAB-
LISHED NEW RECORD IN
WAR ACTIVITIES.
CITY MEETS QUOT A
Nearly Every Country District Re-
ports Pledges in Excess Of Allot-
ment-County's Excess Estimated
at More Than One-Third.

Carter County was first in the
state to report "over the top in
yesterdays War Savings Stamps
drive. Thomas w. Champion,
county chairman, received the fol-
lowing telegram this morning from
George w. Barnes, state director: ::
Congratulations; your county first
over the top"
In view OF the fact that Carter led
all the counties in the United States
in prorata purchases Of war savings
stamps on June |, the result of yes
terday's drive is particularly graft
flying to local workers, as it sets a
new record in local war activities.
Reports are being tabulated at the
county headquarters today and the
indications are that nearly every
community in the county oversub-
sCribed its quota. In the city the
quota was $4,000 and all but one
ward passed its limit. First Ward
pledged $4,000, an excess of 81, 900;
Second Ward, $4,000, an excess of
$4,000 Third Ward, $65,000, an ex-
cess of $4,000; Fourth Ward was
the only ward in the city which
failed to meet its quota, $4,000. The
Fourth Ward pledged about $4,000.
Outside of Ardmore most of the
districts oversubscribed. Writ prob
ably made the largest oversubscrip-
tion ,pledging 100000. Its quota
was $4,000. Healdton's quota was
$35,0OO and $4,000 was pledge.
1t was announced today that $780,
600 worth of stamps were sold for
cash yesterday.
Chairman Champion estimates
that the total amount pledged in
Carter County yesterday will pass
the half -million-dollar mark.
