Huns Blown to Death
By Young Americans

London, June S-On Friday when
the Germans weer already in the
outskirts of Chateau Thierry, all
American machine unit was hurried
thither in motor lorries. The Amer
leans had scarcely reached their
quarters when news was received
that the Germans had broken into
the northern part of Chateau Thier-
ry, having made their way through
the gap driven in our lines to the
left OF the town and then pouring
along the streets to the bridge, in
tending to establish themselves
firmly on the south bank and cap
ture the town.
The American machine gunners
and French colonials weer thrown
into Chateau Thierry together. The
Americans Immediately took over
the defense of the river bank, espe-
cially the approaches to the bridge.
Fighting with their habitual courage
and using their guns with accur-
acy, they brought the enemy to
standstill.
Already wavering under the
American fire, the Germans were
counter attacked by the French col
onials and driven from the town.
They returned to the attack the
next night, and under cover OF dark
ness crept into the town along the
river bank and began to work their
way through the streets toward the
main bridge. At the same moment,
tremendous artillery lombard
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-06-05

ment was opened upon the southern
half of the town.
When within range OF the ma
chine guns, the Germans advanced
under cover of clouds of thick white
smoke bombs. They were already
crossing the bridge, evidently believ-
ing themselves masters OF both
banks, when thunderous explosion
blew the center OF the bridge and
a number Of Germans with it into
the river. Those who reached the
southern bank were Immediately
captured.
In this battle, in the streets and
again at night, the young American
soldiers showed courage and deter
mination wh>ih aroused the admir-
alton OF their French colonial COM
rades. With their machine guns the
Americans covered the withdrawal
OF troops across the bridge before
its destruction, and although under
severe fire themselves, kept all the
to the bank under a rain
of bullets which nullified all the
efforts OF the enemy to
cross the river.
Every attempt of the Germans to
elude the vigilance OF the Ameri-
cans resulted in disaster to them.
During the last two days the en-
emy has renounced the occupation
OF the northern part OF Chateau
Thierry, which the American ma
chine guns have made untenable. 1t
now belongs to no mans land as
since the destruction of the bridges
it is not worth while for the French
to garrison it.

ard Fairbanks, who is in France
were at his bedside.
The distinction OF birth in 4 log
cabin, which llustrious Americans
of an earlier day commonly had
was also that of former Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks.
Fairbanks, at IS, entered the Ohio
Wesleyan College at Delaware, Ohio
sharing an attic room with the son
OF another farmer, and the two
cooked their own meals. Fairbanks
did carpenter work to earn his first
lawbooks.
Soon after he was graduated Mr..
Fairbanks was appointed agent of
the Associated Press at Pittsburgh,
Pa. holding that position for one
year. His most important assign
ment was the rally OF the Demo
cratic and Liberty Republicans in
1872. This was one OF the largest
meetings OF the campaign and was
addressed by Horace Greeley. Later
in life he frequently referred with
keen delight to his work as 4 news
paper man.
From Pittsburgh Mr.. Fairbanks
went to Cleveland and completed
his law course. In 1874 he marie.
Miss Cornelia Cole the elimination
OF a romance that began when both
were members OF the editorial staff
OF their college paper. To them
were born five children, one daugh-
ter and four sons.
After marriage Mr.. Fairbanks
moved to indianapolis and opened
a law office. He took deep interest
in politics and assisted in local,
state and national campaigns.
In January, 1897 Mr.. Fairbanks
was elected to the United States
senate. He took his seat on March
!, the day on which Mckinley be-
came president. He became a close
adviser of the president in the trying
times before and during the Span
ish- American war.
Mr.. Fairbanks resigned from the
senate MarGb i, 1905, having been
elected vice president on the Re
publican ticket with Theodore
Roosevelt.
While he was vice president Mr.
+ Fairbanks, in 1908. became a candi-
date for the nomination for presi-
dent. He was defeated by William
Howard Taft and after his term as
vice president ended he went back
TO the practice of law.

Lions Hold Second
Quarterly Entertainment

The Lions Club gave its seconc
quarterly entertainment last night
at Chickasaw Lake Club. At !
o'clock dinner was served to mem
bers, their wives and friends. Dur
ing the dinner musical program
was given by Barnard's orchestra
At the close OF the dinner a NUM-
Der OF short talks, humorous and
serious, were made. On account OF
illness, bad weather and the abb
sence Of some OF the members, the
original program was only partial
" carried out. The principal talk
OF the evening was that made by
G.. M. Cunningham OF Houston,
Texas, secretary OF the Houston
Lions Club, who organized the
Ardmore club.
Mr.. Cunningham, in his opening
remarks, stated that he had come
100 miles to accept the invitation,
rendered him by wire, to be present
at the entertainment. He brought
greetings from the Houston club
and took occasion to praise the
Ardmore Lions for their splendid
organization. In speaking OF the
activities of the Houston club, with
a membership OF los, he stated that
not only had the club, as a unit,
purchased Liberty bonds, but that
each member is bond holder. The
club as a unit has donated literally
to the Red Cross and every mem-
Der is giving days income every
month to that organization. The
Houston club has 81 stars in its
service flag. Mr.. Cunningham con-
graduated the Ardmore club on the
personnel of its membership and
urged each one, both as member
OF the club and as an individual, to
give his best efforts toward winning
the war. He reminded them of the
OF the name Lions,
and urged that it be made to carry
its full meaning in every effort OF
its members. "Co-operation,' is
he keynote OF the Lions organiza-
.ion,' continued Mr.. Cunningham,
and it is through cooperation that
victory will be won. The earnest
nes sof Mr.. Cunningham's talk
was felt more forcibly when he
stated that he has two sons in serv-
&c and that another will enlist to-
lay. He stated that there are 90
Lions clubs in the United States,
II of which are in Oklahoma, and
u in Texas.

Commissioner Carter, Commission
er Fraley presided as mayor.
A number OF visitors, who had
matters to present to the commits
sioners, were present. The first was
representative Of the company
having the contract for the erection
OF the First National Bank build
ing. He asked that he be allowed
to close A street, northwest, for a
period of sixty days as he has large
pieces OF stone, some weighing as
much as three tons, TO unload tor
the building. There was objection
to closing the street on account OF a
possible fire in the block and the
hampering OF the firemen. Utiliz-
ing Main street, in front OF the
building, out to the car track, was
discussed Commissioner Carter will
go with the contractor and I. l..
Anderson, cashier of the bank, to-
day to confer with adjacent prop
erty owners in an effort to solve
the problem.
J. +. McCarty, DR.. K. II. Henry,
T. {. Lebus, J. b. Brady and Her
schel Nesbitt appeared before the
commissioners TO protest against
certain high sidewalks on Fourth
avenue. northwest. 1t vas stated
that they are above grade, are un-
even and Doctor Henry said with
in the last year accidents resulting
i'll three broken limbs have occurred
there. One OF the owners complain
ed OF was b. T. Musgrave. 1t was
stated he had agreed to lower the
grade during the season when his
trees might be moved without III

to go by. City Attorney ames a.
Bass said he would serve notices
this morning OH Musgrave, Mrs. Zoe
HouSer, ohm Edwards and Mrs.
George Henshaw to lower the side
walks in front OF their property.
Inquiry was made as to why G.
street. northwest, over the Ring |
ling road. had not been opened as
ordered by the commissioners some
time ago. City Attorney Bass said |
he thought IT had been opened, but
he would serve the necessary no
tices today.
A. n. Rice objected to the street
grade at Twelfth avenue and r.
street, northwest, insisting that il
left as it is water would be turned
On his lots in large quantities unless
he lots are filled. 1t was claimed
he grade could not be lowered
without endangering the sewer, and
10 action was taken.
A resolution was adopted divid-
ng the assessment against lot ),

City Attorney Bass advised the
commissioners that numerous er-
ors have crept into the assessing

ownership OF the several lots. He
insisted that some action be taken
ooking to betterment OF this
