Paris, July 20 Correspondence Of
The Associated Press)-The fierce
fighting of American troops around
Cantigny, Chateau Thierry and 9th
er centers of the big enemy offensive,
has brought in its train a sudden
transformation and development in
the great American military hospital
at Neuilly in the Paris suburbs and
others like it in the suburbs of Au-

are now in truth American institu-
tions not only in name, foundation,
staff and equipment, but in that
grimmest OF 4 hospitals work, the
wounded men-American wounded

The Americanism of these hos
pitals has proved a timely blessing
to the young American heroes who
got out alive from the furnace of
fire, giving them American sur
roundings, American surgeons, and
nurses. their own language in which
to hear and express their cares,
American food, and something of
that spirit of home which people of
the same blood carry across the sea.

been taxed to its utmost to meet

Earl Athey, drilling contractor on
the Oklahoma-Fox No. 2 well, was
in Ardmore yesterday, and his re-
port on that well is very satistac-
tory to the promoters. The total
depth of the hole is ESQ feet; the
drill has penetrated p feet OF sand
and was stopped on break OF blue
shale. This corresponds to the Tor
nation in we'll No. !, in which this
22-foot sand was found, then break
OF l8 feet Of blue shale, and then 100
feet OF oil sand. No. |, however,
went into water and will never
make as good we'll as No, 2 is. The
formations in No. 2 have been run
ming 90 feet higher than in No. l.,
and this seems to indicate a trend
TO the northeast. The company now
plans to pull the lO-inch casing and
run string of 3-inch tubing with
a packer, when the we'll will proba-
bly, make a steady flow. At present
it is flowing by heads. No attempt
will be made at present TO go
through the shale break into the
thicker sand. 1t is quite generally
conceded that the well is good tor
500 barrels as it stands, although
now and then one hears an estimate
OF 800 to 400 barrels, and occasion
ally an estimate as low as Us bar
rels. Usually these low estimates
are made by persons who have not
visited the we'll and are inclined to
cut hearsay reports to the minimum
on general principles.
