difficulty should arise to delay the
drilling.
There is continued interest being
manifest in the Hastings oil field.
New oil companies are being organ
lied to drill near here. Last week
a number of land owners, six miles
north OF here, pooled their lands
and organized the Walker Valley
Oil Company and are selling stock
to drill a we'll on their lands. Sim
ultaneouS with them the Walker
Greek Oil Company, composed of
llealdton parties, secured leases and
claim they will begin erecting a
derrick this week in section 1859,
three miles northwest of the len
nings well, and will begin drilling
at once. There is to be a rig erected
on 2S-4-9, three miles south and
two west of Hastings, in a few days.

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE IN
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN

The Garter County Council of
Defense is rapidly going ahead in
the work of starting its campaign
against men within the borders of
Carter County who will not work or
90 to the war Such persons will
be compelled to leave the county.
!. Robert Gillian, chairman of the
Council of Defense, stated 4 few
days ago that there are number
OF men in Ardmore, and probably in
other sections of the county, who
are registered, are Of military age
and have succeeded in being given
deferred classification and placed in
class 4, by reason Of their claim of
having dependents, and who are not
doing days Legitimate work, for
the support OF any person, not even
themselves. These may be placed
in class and sent to the war. lie
also said the council Of defense
would have the support Of the local
exemption board in this work.
John II. Carlock, chairman of the
local exemption board, has stated
that the board will back up the
council Of defense; that it will do
anything within its power and with
in the regulations governing it to
make possible the work the Carter
County Council of Defense is un-
dertaking.
Judge !. L. Gait, member Of the
board, also asserts that the local
exemption board will stand by the
council of defense, and when the
council shall furnish it such cyi-
dence as is necessary it will act with
all the power conferred upon it by
the regulations governing its work.
He claims there are some regis
trants who rest under the belief that
once placed in deferred classification
they are safe for all time to come.
Such IS not the case. If the local
exemption board finds man has
imposed upon it, or is not working,
and is not supporting those he
claimed were dependent upon him
Tor support, it has the right to place
him in class |.
DIR. Walter Hardy, the other mem
Der of the board, is Of the same
opinion as Chairman Carlock and
Judge Gait lie said that the board
will back up the council Of de-
tense and that it will even 60 far

The number Of people who read

The number Of Ardmore peo-

Librarian at the Carnegie library,

which the library has recently re-

Levy Fixed at $6.40 Gallon
Rates on Beer and Wine
Stand.
NEW Yoak WORLD. 60

Washington, Oct. 1O-Resuming re-
vision of the war revenue bill the sen
ate finance committee considered the
beverage sections and reduced the tax
of So a gallon ON distilled spirits used
for beverage purposes as provided III
the house bill to $6.4O a gallon. The
doubled rates on beer and wine were
approved.
The present rate on spirits for bev-
erage purposes is $500 a gallon, which
the committee established as the rate
for distilled spirits used for nonbeV-
erage purposes, such as manufacture
of perfumes and medicines, instead or
the $40 tax proposed by the mousse
on that class.
Reduction of the beverage rate from
IS to $3.50 per gallon on distilled splr-
it's, it was stated, is expected to stlm1-
late both consumption and withdrawal
from bonded warehouses, and thereby
increase the $795,0O0,000 which the
house proposed to raise from this
source.
The probable effect of the pending
national prohibition legislation was
considered, Chairman Simmons salo'
in revising the intoxicating beverage
rates. Whether national prohibitloh
becomes effective July 1, it was De
lieved by the committee that the lower
rate on distilled beverages would IN
crease federal revenues.

higher tax is designed to equalize the

Chicago, Oct. 11.-By the end of this
year America will have more airplanes
on the battle front than ali her allie.
put together and will have attained
absolute mastery of the air.
This was the victory message hurled
by Congressman julius Kahn, ranking
Republican of the house military at
fairs committee, at a meeting of the
Association of Commerce here.
And to it Congressman Kahn, who
is the father of the draft law, added
another prediction which, he said, is
shared by the military leaders of tht
nation:
unless Germany SurrenderS more
than 100000 American soldiers vii
have overrun German soil before Sep
TENDER, 1919.
German peace talk will not be al
lowed to interfere with our military
program. To the 100000 men now
under arms 100000 more will have
been added by March 81, and by July
1, 100000 Americans will be fighting
in Europe"
Discussing the development of the
airplane program, Mr.. Kahn declared
that the fact that our allies are now
ordering Liberty motors in vast guam
titles is indisputable proof Of theil
excellence. Standardization, he said
has enabled America to Outdistanct
her allies in airDlane motor manufaC'
ture.

war, even considering Germany and
Austria as enemies with forces Oppos-
Ing the allied armies. For the Ger
man note, it was reported. is at least a
frank admission of defeat and desire
FOR peace at almost any price.
While it is conceded generally that
the gist of the entire subject rests in
Prince Max's answer to the presidents
third question respecting the German
government, military men see alarm
Ing features in the evacuation of enc
my territory, as proposed by Germany
and Austria.
If Germany should be allowed to
withdraw her armies in orderly fash
ion to the Rhine defenses she would
be far better off, from a military stand
point, it was said, than she now is.
Seek Orderly Retreat.
Evacuation would allow an orderly
retreat, without loss of life or mate
rial, it was pointed out, whereas pres
ent conditions indicate the wholesale
defeat of all the German forces on
the west front before they reach the
Rhine.
With an unimpaired line, though,
and strong Notifications, Germany
could continue hOstilities indefinitely,
especially if she came out second best
in peace negotiations and the allies
decreed the war to go on.
Another feature of the present ne
gotiations and one which the president
may touch upon in his reply, is the
dreadful and wanton destruction Of
towns and villages in northern France
and Belgium, performed at a time
when Germany beseeches peace.
President in Washington.
Washington, Oct 14.-President
Wilson, accompanied by Colonel
House, his confidential adviser, re-
turned to the capital from New York.
The president has reached a deci-
sion on the German reply to his note
of inquiry, but he will not act until
the official text of the note is delivered
to the state department by Frederick
Oederiein, the Swiss charge daffaires.
Paris Seeks Trick.
Paris, Oct. 14.-The Paris newspa-
perS do not appear to grow enthusiast
tic over Germany's reply to President
Wilson. More space is given to the
military successes of the allies than to
discussion of the note.
Some of the newspaper contend that,
as Germany's response is an admission
of military defeat, there should be a
military surrender.
Germany has replied and she has
Premier Clemenceaus' newspaper. by
the single, solitary fact that she wants
to engage in conferences over an
armistice she proves she is in urgent
need of suspension of hostilities.
L'Eclair says: eve must not under
take anything that savors Of negotia-
tons. One single man must speak
Foch."
The Matin expresses itself similarly
and alludes' to Germany's assurances
of her parliamentariZation as mere
duplicity" LIE Petit Parisien says :
''No mixed commission is going to
draw the armistice conditions. The
vanquished will have no part in stipu-
lating the conditions. Foch will die
fate and the Germans will obey"
"Pertinax," writing in the EchS de
Paris, warns of q German trick by
which the enemy would evacuate all
but Alsace-Lorraine unless the victory
is pressed.
