MUNITION WORKERS
WEAR HONOR BADGE

Badges of honor, showing what
branch of the great army of NUM-
ton workers or various supplies for
the army and navy one belongs to,
have been adopted by a number OF
plants, namely the Marlin Rockwell
Corporation, Winchester Repeating
Arms Company, Colt Patent Fire
Arms Company, VIM. J. Oliver Co.,
Penn Trojan Powder Company,
Power Specially Company and
many others for their employees who
are giving their service as truly as
the boys "over there"
The original design of the bronze
badge medal was drawn by Lieuten-
ant Cohle, stationed at Hartford,
Conn.,, and his first intention was
to use the badge exclusively as a
mark of identification for machine
gun workers. The design incorpor-
ates the American Fighting Eagle
backed by the American workman,
in whose hands are shown the manu-
facturer's tools and beneath which
appears the name of the industry in
which he is employed.
The distribution of the wo-lmen's
badges has received the endorse
ment of the war department.

MORMONS CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY ARRIVAL
IN SALT LAKE VALLEY

Salt Lake City, July 24.-Utah to-
day is celebrating the anniversary OF
the advent of the Mormon pioneers
into the state and the Salt lake
valley. Patriotic exercises were to
be held in the Salt Lake Tabernacle
and the day was generally observed
throughout the state.
1t was II years ago that the orig
inal band of Mormon pioneers, un-
der the leadership of President
Brigham Young, came through
Emigration canyon into Salt Lake
valley and began preparations to
settle here.
This is the place we will make
our home are the words credited
to Brigham Young when he set
eyes on the vast valley, and the
work of retaining the land and
planting Of crops was begun imme-
diately.
Since then July "a has been rec
ognized as the natal day of Utah.
The advance scouts of the Mormon
party had entered the valley two
days before, and when they reported
their discovery of the valley, Pres
ident Young pushed on and reached
the future home of the Pioneers
two days later. First church services
were held the following Sunday, and
they are said to have, been the first
Christian services to have been held
in Utah.

Frank Moore, for divorce. She al
leges that they were married at
Ardmore during the month of No

that the latter has frequently threat
ened her life. She asks for SlOC

Lord Growi1g Tired of
"Me IND GoH" So Saus
Gen. March, US. Chief

Washington, July 24.-The ad-
vance of the allied and American
forces around the Aisne- Marne
salient has been practically steady
for the last two days, General
March, chief of staff, said today,
despite the fact that fifteen fresh
DIVISIONS of German troops have
been thrown into the fighting at
Soissons and on the line south of
there.
The Germans are fighting desper-
ately to retain the single railway
line remaining in their hands, over
which heavy material can be re-
moved as they retreat, General
March said.
If that railway running from
Fismes to Fere-en-Tardenois is
reached by the allied troops, Gen
eral March said, German forces re-
naming in the salient will be pock-
eted.
On Rheims Side.
On the Rheims side of the sal
lent, official reports show the en-
emy has been thrown back an av-
erage distance of a mile and hall
on ten-mile front, despite heavily
wooded country and high ground TO
aid his defense. The area lost by
the Germans during the last week,
the general said, about equals that
gained by them on the Flanders
front in April.
The chief of staff announced that
he had ordered six new infantry di-
visions organized in this country
during July, stationed respectively
at Camps Devens, Mass; Meade,
Maryland; Sheridan, Alabama;
Custer, Mich; Funston, Kan; and
Lewis, Washington.

Rotarians Have Chicken Dinner.

Members of the Ardmore Rotary
Club were served with chicken

field, was the honor guest and re-

life of an army aviator. The dele
gate to the Kansas City convention
made a brief report of the meet
ing. 1t was voted that during the
remainder of the summer, meetings
be held each alternate Wednesday.
A subscription of $l0O was made
towards the fund which is being
raised to improve livestock in Car

GREAT SQUADRON OF
WARSHIPS IS REVIEWED

London, July q. (Tucsday) The
British and American warships in
spected Tuesday by King George,
constituted the biggest and most
powerful naval forces ever assem-
bled II placed end to end, the
vessels would stretch on continu-
Gus line more than 2l miles in
length. They were chiefly vessels
of the most modern design, con-
struction and armament. and on
some of them their crews had proved
themselves Enthusiastically.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-07-24

Two regular infantry regiments
will form the nucleus of each new
division. Home guards have re-
placed regulars at interior guard
posts for this purpose and the reg
ulars are now moving to the camps
designated, General March said
Aside from the two infantry regi-
ments of regulars, the divisions will
be composed of National army
troops.
The chief of staff said the Ameri-
can divisions he mentioned last
Saturday as involved in the fight
ing were still constantly engaged
He added no additional American
units to those already known to be
on the line in this region.
Storm Aided Allies.
In discussing the situation on the
Aisne- Marne line, General March
said it bore striking similarity to
what happened to the Austrian
drive into Italy. A great storm had
cut off the advancing Austrians on
the Piave line, he said, and disaster
resulted. Similarly, a heavy storm
masked the movement of tanke and
troops when General Foch struck
on the Soissons- Chateauu Thierry
front and the Germans were taken
completely by surprise.
General March said it seemed
that the Lord was getting tired of
the partnership of me und Gott."
The French attack of yesterday
north of Montdidier on the Picardy
front, is viewed, General March
said, as a local operation not di-
rectly involved in the strategy of
the Aisne- Marine battle front. 1t
has great value, however, he said,
as it serves to keep the Germans
guessing.
