German Emperor Talks OF Great
Progress After Germany Has Won.

Amsterdam, July 13.-How the Ger
man emperor pictures the future of
Germany is recorded by his favorite
war correspondent, the faithful Karl
Rosner. of the Lokal Anzeiger. One
evening after busy day in surveying
operations from a chain of observation
posts, the emperor, chatting with his
encourage, spoke with glowing enthu-
siasm, says Rosner, of the time when
the forces now let loose on destruction
would again be placed in the service of
peaceful pursuits. He sketched far
reaching advances in the technical do
main in physics, chemistry and scien-
tific farming. The emperor forecast
that all of Germany's needs in nitrates
would be covered by extracting nitrate
from the air.
The emperor then described 1.-The
marvellous possibilities of 'the new
gas motors and how purified waste
matters from metal works would serve
to fertilize the field so that deserts
will blossom like roses and made arid
regions self-supporting as regards
food.
with daring flights of fancy"
continued Rosner, the emperor pre-
djcted the Harvesting of the rays of
the sun and the recovery of the
oceans innermost treasures. This will
all come to pass, the emperor assured
his hearers, once Germany secured the
strong peace for which he is work.

(Editorial,)


Ardmore citizens must give
the city administration every aid
in conserving the rapidly van
ishing water supply, as an acute
stage has been reached. To-
night the city commission will
pass ordinances forbidding the
use of water for sprinkling,
washing cars and other purposes
not imperative, limiting it to
sanitary and cooking uses.
Yesterday 4 party of Ardmore
business men visited the city
lake and made a careful investi-
cation of conditions. They
found that the water was now at
a stage more than twenty feet
below the former high-water
mark, and that it was going
down rapidly, the use and evap-
Grafton of the past eight days
having caused a fall of twelve
inches. With a continuance of
the present weather and the
steadily diminishing size of the
lake the decrease in depth will
be even more rapid.
The fact of the matter is that
the water in the city lake is now
at its very lowest stage, with no
relief whatever in sight.
In view of these facts every
citizen is called upon to refrain
from making unnecessary use
