the woman who admitted the negro
had been soliciting for her. The
negro was sentenced to serve thirty
days in jail.
The next case was that of Bell
Brooks, who was charged with lott
ering at the Travellers hotel. The
same witnesses testified against her
and said they caught her coming up
The stairway when she said the ne
gro had solicited for her at the
Palace hotel. She was sentenced
to thirty days in Jail. When court

wanted to pay out. She was in
formed she could pay out only by
serving the time in jail
Effie Coker was charged with
lettering in the Phoenix rooming
house. She pleaded not guilty. She
said she had come here from Sui
phur for medical treatment and that
she intended going home today. She
had statement from physician to
the effect that she was being treat
ed. She said she had registered at
the Phoenix last Tuesday. Officers
Carter and Dyer testified in this
case and when the evidence was
submitted the mayor sentenced her
to serve thirty days in Jail. He told
her he would suspend the sentence
if she left on the sos train this
afternoon, but the judgment would
remain in full force and effect and
if she ever came back to Ardmore
she would be arrested by the police
and made to serve out the sentence.
The mayor finally told her she
might go to her room and remain
there until the train LETT today, as
he did not want to send her to Jail
if she would stay away from Ard.
more.
George Henry Ray, a negro
whom the police say is not known
to work # he can avoid it, was sem
fenced to thirty days in jail on
charge. The mayor told
him he would give him one more
chance and il he went to work the
sentence would be held up just as
as long as he worked but that when
he again became idle, he was to go
to Jail.

FOCH WARS ON GERMAN

valley, cutting off Vcrdun from
Commercy and Toul and leaving
only one supply line, the one tina
goes to the west toward Rheims
This salient was cut off by The
American army in less than two
days, parts of Thursday and Fri
day, but quick, sharp blows on botl1
| flanks.
On the south flank, our troops
advanced along ten-mile front be-
tween Alvray and Fey-en-Haye, up
through the Woevre. On the west
flank on an eight mile front they
advanced across the heights of the
Meuse, ridge which is six miles
wide, and broken by deep, branch
ing ravines. By the evening or the
first day, the south flank had been
driven in five miles and the north
flank three miles. By evening OF the
second day, friday the salient had
been wiped out.
Shortens Line % Miles.
"The removal of the salient short
ems the line p miles, restores rail
communication between Verdun
and St. Mihiel and Toul and gives
very much better base for future
offensive operations than existed
before this drive began.
at is to be noted that the Ger
man communique says that they
withdrew quietly from this sector
in accordance with a carefully ar
ranged plan, but this does not cover
the 1880 men they left behind.
They constitute the combatant
strength OF an entire German di-
vision"
Lacking official news of further
advances by General Pershing's
troops within the salient, the opin-
ion that this movement has already
reached the immediate limits, it was
planned to attain. gained strength
among military officers.
With the French now taking up
the fight in the center of the great
area, which comprises the western
front from Arras to Verdun, it is
considered entirely probable that
the next move of the American army
is dependent upon the results of this
offensive. An offensive of any i'm
portance by the French will threaten
the stability OF the famous Chemin-
des-Dames ridge and, to less ex-
tent, probably will affect the St.
Iobain massif, upon which til, new
defenses from the Germans seem
20 be based.

YANKEES ARE TOO
FAST FOR TEUT0N
LONDON PAPERS SUM UP
RESULTS OF PERSHING'S
VICTORY.

London, Sept. l4.-Chief place is
given this morning in London news
papers to the American achieve
ments in the St. Mihiel sector. In
both the news and the editorial col 4
umns hearty tributes are given
the thoroughness with which the
operation, a thoroughness which is
regarded as showing that both Cen
eral Pershing and his staff made
skillful preparations beforehand and
used great care at the same time.
No surprise is implied that the sit
uation should have succeeded so
well. On the contrary, the newspa-
pers concur that what happened was
only what might have ben expected
from the fighting qualities the
Americans displayed when they
fought as units under French and
British commands.
Americans Were Swift.
The Daily Telegraph, after con-
graduating the Americans on their
feat of arms--a real triumph &C
complished in mastery style
says:
"The full story will be awaited
with the deepest interest. 1t seems
terribly clear, that the great majority
of German troops holding the sa-
lient were cut off by the rapidity of
the American advance, and that the
opposition on the other side of the
wedge collapsed on the second morn
ing. The explanations of the reserve
offered in the German communique
are childish"
The Daily Mail under the heading
America Has Made Good dis
cussed the value of the removal of
the salient. The newspaper says:
General Pershing is breaking into
perfect web of railways, which
has been of priceless importance to
General Ludendorff for maneuver-
ing. Here, if anywhere, is the en-
emy's Achilles heel.
For Bigger Attacks.
nv -NihNiiShlS ldNC liOl NCl
reached this heel, but by threaten
ing it they have forced the Germans
to concentrate for its defense. 1t
opens the way for other American
attacks on still larger scale. The
enemy has also lost the equivalent
of two divisions in prisoners, killed
and wounded"
The Times records the belief that
the final return of prisoners will
considerably exceed the number
given in the official statement and
says:
More was destroyed at St. Mihiel
than a German salient. General
Pershng shattered at a blow n
web of lies which sns-t
.alned the pretense that the i'm
nense weight and almost unlimitablc
resources of the United States
would be OF little or no account on
he European field of war. He has
shown that the Americans are as
quick and apt to learn the art OF war
Is they have been to develop the
pursuits of peace"

JOYFUL DAY FOR
PEOPLE OF ST. MIHIEL
Weep in Gladness When French
and Americans Enter.


American Army Headquarters
Sept. l4.-(Reuters Agency.)-Gen.
eral Pershing, General Petain ant
Secretary of War Baker made theil
entry into st. Mihiel yesterday over
a warwrecked bridge, only a few
rickety pianks of which were left.
The capture OF St. Mihiel, after
its four years of martyrdom, is re-
garded as one of the most striking
incidents OF its kind in the records
of the war. The Germans left the
town at 8 p. III. on Thursday. They
had made life a nightmare for the in
habitants, who had been unable to
escape when the enemy occupied
the city. All the boys from 10 to
10 years old had been deported and
the old people forced to work for
the conquerors.
A French military band had come
in over the first bridge to honor the
distinguished visitors and was play
ing in the square, about which all
the remaining inhabitants had as
sembled. Their eyes were radiant
and their bearing that of prisoners
set free.
The town was only partly ruined.
The part adjoining the river was al
most entirely gone, but there were
scores of houses elsewhere that had
been scarcely damaged. The attack
was such surprise that the enemy
was unable to undertake his usual
work of wrcckage. He laid hands,
however. on everything he could
carry off. Sheets and blankets were
torn from the beds and loaded into
wagons, but it is possible that those
wagons by this time now are in al
lied hands, since the enemy had only
twelve hours to escape from one OF
the claws across the salient.
The enemy did set fire to a few
houses, but the inmates extinguished
the flames.
The Germans looted both banks
during their occupancy. The inhab-
itants had depended largely for sus-
tenance on the food furnished by
the American relief committee.

NEW ..SAWMILl UNDER
 CONSTRUCTION

Another enterprise in the way of sawmill and shingle mill combined is in course of construction just around the point on the other side of the Marconi wireless station at Char coal Point, about a mile from the city. Piles are being driven for the wharf and otherwise the work is going on with all vigor. Messrs. R. H. Elem ing and E. A, Libby, the owners are on the ground helping along the work with a large number of men. Both are said to have had considerable ex- perience along that line. Even in AL aska where they were for a time To- cated at Anchorage.
 Mir. Libby came here nearly two years ago, leased the old shingle mill which he run for while Meantime studying the opportunity for an open ing. which he must have found since he and his associate are spending their money in the new enterprise
