The war board has issued an or
der restricting the importation OF
asphalt during the year 1918. The
order restricts importations from
Venezuela to 10000 tons, and from
Trinidad to $1,000 tons; $1,000 tons
total. This should be an opportun-
ity to introduce the Ardmore dis
trict asphalt, and may be the means
OF stimulating this industry to a
point Of high Importance. There
is vast amount OF asphalt deposit
in territory tributory to Ardmore,
and it is contended by men who
claim to know the asphalt business
thoroughly, that the local product
is superior in many ways to tn, as
phalts of any other locality in the
United States.

GERMAN ISLANDER OF AMERICAN RED CROSS CONTINUES Berlin Is Asked to State Basis of Reports Ap-
 bearing in Enemy
 Newspapers

Washington, July 1L-Calumnies pub lished in German newspapers regarding the treatment of wounded Germans fall- ing within the American lines which re- fleet directly on the American Red Cross have caused the United States gov ernment to make a request of the Ger man government through the Spanish ambassador to Berlin as to the basis for the statements. No reply has yet been received.
 ''In making this known today the state department said while the German re- ports have been formally denied by 1t on behalf of the Red Cross and by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross war council. it is informed the denials never were given circulation in Ger many
 Early in June" said the departments statement, .'the department of state was informed by the American minister at Berne that the International Red Cross at Geneva had received a letter from the central committee of the German Red Cross in Berlin. which stated it was understood from press news that Mir Davison, chairman of the American Red Cross, had made the proposition that tit AIltliCdl INtu NtIOSS StOlIu Hpl aS- sist the wounded and helpless Germans, but should leave them to their miserable Ifate
 Tn response to this the department of state sent to the American minister at Berne as from the American Red Cross the following:
 The American Red Cross knows no such thing as the nationality of wound ed man. Any wounded enemy turned over to the care of the American Red Cross will receive as kindly treatment as any friend.
 'supplementing the foregoing, Mir. Da- vison said.
 '' These sentiments are exactly those which I have publicly expressed through out the United States l have never en- tertained nor expressed any thought to the contrary. The fact that we are to- day caring for German wounded in our Red Cross hospitals should dispose of the frequently recurring statements that we do not care for such of the enemy wounded as fall within our lines
