A meeting OF the grocers, market
men and principal retailers was held
at the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday afternoon for the purpose OF
hearing the recent order from Wash
ington. Each merchant present was
called upon to express himself on
the subject and many availed them
selves OF the privilege.
Following the meeting with the
merchants, the council convened and
passed an order to the effect that
mo merchant shall make more than
one delivery a day on any route in
the city of Ardmore from and after
Tuesday, September g.
However, if the merchants desire
to do so they can arrange for a CO.
operative delivery system which will
be permitted to make two deliveries
each day.
This order is imperative, as men
must be released for essential serv-
ice and the cost of doing business
must be cut down to the end that
the consumer will not be obliged to
pay an unnecessary amount for his
goods.
This order is being promulgated
throughout the country and will be
vigorously enforced. ample means
being provided. but it is not antici-
patcd that disloyalty will be shown
by any Of the merchants, and that
they will do their utmost to aid in
carrying out the desire OF the War
Industries Board.

With the French Army in France,
Thursday, Aug. 29.-The Germans
are making a supreme effort to
maintain their positions OH the pla-
teau north of Scissors. They are
throwing fresh troops against both
the French and Americans, and are
disputing the ground foot by loot.
After the unsuccessful enemy at
tempts few days ago to retake the
heights west of the Soissons-.
Coucy-Le-Chateau road, known as
the OTme-de- Montecouve, prison
ers taken by one French division in
cludes men from three different di-
visions OF infantry and two battal-
ions of crack mountain troops.
The loss of this height and a fur
ther advance made it all the more
necessary for the Germans TO pre-
vent the allies from gaining ground
on the plateau in the region OF
Juvigny, where are the last heights
defending the valley of the Ailette,
where it runs eastward before turn
ing southwark again toward the
Chemin-de Danes. The enemy has
reinforced his line there with some
OF his best divisions of shock troops.
The French Third army met with
greater resistance today along the
line OF the Somme and the Canal
Du Nord. The German opposition
was particularly stout in the region
of Nesle. where it was necessary TO
have artillery to reduce some posi-
tions. Tonight Thursday the vii
lage OF Rouye-le-Grand and Rouy-
le-Petit, east of Nesle, are in the
hands of the French, while south
along the canal they have Breuil,
Moyencourt and La Panneterie.
North of Nesle, where General
Humbert's troops also are ap-
preaching the Somme, the Germans
launched a counter attack against
Morchain without success. The
Germans appear TO be strongly re-
inforced by artillery along the Canal
du-Nord. where their resistance IS
stiffening.
After the capture OF Noyor,
French troops advanced eastward
to the southern slopes of Mont ST.
Simeon.

Diplomatic relations between
Spain and Germany have been
strained for the last few weeks over
the sinking of Spanish ships by Ger

evidences OF excitement among the
Spanish people over the situations,
especially since Spain instructed her

German foreign office that Spain
purposes to replace ton for ton the
Spanish ships sunk by German sub
marines with German ships now in-'

An Ode to the Women in Overalls

When Uncle Samuel went To war
And took our boys along,
IL left n lot of work 10 do
For women that are strong.
And so we donned the overalls
OF khaki cloth and blue,
And said 10 Uncle Samuel
"We'll help to see this through
We have n lot of courage,
And tbere'll not be much that 5 lack
ing
While the women in their overalls
Take hold and do the backing,
Well take the places of the men
On strcetcar and in factory,
And answer 10 the farmers call
For help he needs so badly.
Wen pillow and plant and sow and reap
In overalls-s SO handy,
And Uncle Sam will feed his men
And call his helpers dandy.
So let us help to win this war
And don't be misunderstanding,
Because we dress TO suit our work
That In this war we're taking.
