MACMILLAN HARDEN
LAMBASTS HIS RULERS
REGARDING BELGIUM

Amsterdam, July 23.-"This is a
question of decency, morality and
honor says Maximlian Harden in
discussing in Die Zukunft the re-
cent statement made by Chancellor
Won Hertling concerning Belgium.
Can a country be regarded as an
independent state which is only to
be returned to the oners when ne
gotiations with twenty other states
have reached favorable conclu-
sion? Can a country be regarded
as independent which before its re-
turn must undertake to adapt its
policy and economy and consequent
ly its entire state life to the will of
an enemy power still ruling its soil,
which must guarantee that power
against British, French and Ameri-
can thirst for revenge and must
even be friends of that power and
grant it privileged confidence
international law forbids Ger
many to retain even one pebble OF
Belgian streets, and commands Ger
many to restore Belgium to the con-
ditions before the invasion.

CARNIVAL OF BURGLARY
IN ARDMORE CON-
TINUES UNABATED

Burglars! Burglars! Here every
day.
The store of the Raines Saddlery
Company was entered shortly after
6 o'clock this morning and II to
IS pistols taken The burglar also
took new gripsack in which to
carry the pistols. A man sleeps in
the store and he arose and went TO
breakfast at o'clock and on his
return the burglary was discovered.
Policeman Johnson had been
through the alley in the rear of
the store ebtween 5 and E o'clock
The burglar had moved piano box
in front of the rear door SO as to
obstruct the view and pushed the
door open.
Another burglary committed
Saturday night was at the store OF
Abbie Bailey. The story of this
was not published in order that the
police might follow clues they were
working on. Policeman Frazier

to look for a man but failed to find
him. The man had taken two silk
petticoats to negro in East Main
street and pawned them, as he said
at the time, for money to buy a
ticket to Oklahoma City. The ne
gro later gave these goods to the
police. There was taken from the
store Saturday night IS petticoats
and four dresses and all that have
been recovred is the two petticoats
turned over by the negro.
One of the negro boys arrested
for the burglaries at the New State
Hardware Company and the Gregg
stores, the one WHO confessed to en-
tering the Gregg store and getting
the money, was turned loose by the
probation officer and the police
were at first inclined to the belief
that he had committed the burglary
this morning, but the fact that a
large piano box had been moved up
to the door dispelled this, as t
would have required the strength
of 4 man to move the box.

YESTERDAYS FIGHTING
SENT ALLIES AHEAD
ENEMY MAKES STRENUOUS
EFFORT TO KEEP FROM
REAL ROUT.
(By the Associated Press)

WIN tlC TIcUCu ENIhN Oh tHN
Aisne- Marine Front, July a.
(Monday)-Probably the heaviest
fighting today occurred on the east
ern wing of the salient where Brit
ish troops took part. The British
ers, who had arrived on the scene
only recently, engaged the enemy
in hand-to-hand conflict in the
extremely wooded region south
west of Rheims.
Four fresh divisions faced them.
One German division which had
held the line against the Italians
had been annihilated. only few
hundred remaining.
The Germans had a large num-
Der of machine guns in this vicin-
ity, but the British captured 40 OF
them in the course of strong at
tack in which they made progress
and took more than 200 prisoners.
Altogether the day was very sat
isfactory for the allies, who are
threatening the Germans commun-
ications everywhere. There is ev-
cry reason to believe that the Ger
mans are hurrying forward more di-
visions to add to the 90 they al
ready have thrown into the battle.
Battle on Both Wings.
The fiercest fighting continued
throughout the day on both wings
of the German salient between the
Aisne and the Marne. The efforts
of the enemy were concentrated on
an attempt to prevent the allied
troops from cutting through oil
either side and thus imperilling the
great masses of German troops still
within the semi-circle.
Despite the German determina-
ton, French, American and Brit
ish troops all made progress.
The operations were robbed OF
some of their spectacular features.
as the day advanced, by the de-
termination of the enemy not to be
crowded into retreat.
South of Scissors the allied
troops maintain all positions as
they were Sunday night except IN
some cases where they have been
improved slightly. The allied 20
sitions, however, are in no appar-
ent danger from attacks by Ger
man reserves.
Allies Hang on Foes Heels.
In the area north of Chateau
Thierry the enemy is reported by
air observers to be still moving
northward, but very slowly, and
fighting rear guard actions all the
while. The French and Americans
are hanging close to the heels OF
the retiring Germans and are TAX
ing very opportunity to move for
ward. Army headquarters moves
ahead as the line advances.
Enemy airplanes have been act
i've on observation work, but the
shells fired by the German artillery
in an attempt to search out the al
lied forces indicate that the Hun
airmen failed to spot the allied po-
sitions. Many shells have dropped
along the Marne at irregular inter-
walls and little damage has resulted,
Throughout the day (Monday)
the heavy guns of the allies bonn
barded the enemy lines with excel
lent results, according to aerial
lookouts. Over all the territory re-
taken the damage wrought by the
American and French guns shows
that the positions formerly held 5y
the Germans suffered much more
than the allied lines, notwithstand-
ing that the volume of the fire from
the Germans was greater.
Further large numbers Of prison
ers were taken from the Germans
yesterday.

London, July 23.-Well informed
opinion in London regards the Sit
uation on the battle front as going
we'll for the allies, it is not expect
ed however, that the advance will
be so rapid as previously, as the
Germans now have had plenty OF
time to get their reserves into po-
sition. They are also displaying a
disposition to fight for all they are
worth.
London, July 23.-France-Amer-
ican troops gre continuing to make
progress on the battle front between
the Ourcq and the Marine. Advices
today are that attacks carried out
by the French have restored all the
ground which they lost Monday in
the region of Grisolles, seven miles
northwest of Chateau Thierry.
- The French, the advices state,
I horned the heights north of Cour-
celles at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. They are also holding the
bend of the neighborhood of Chas-
sons as far as Treloup. (These
towns are just north of the Marnc,
to the east of Jauglonne, taken by
the Americans.)
Treloup at the latest advices was
still in the hands of the enemy.
The French crossed the Marne
at Quent "a Binzon, just to the east
of Reiul.
The enemy counter attacked heav-
ily from the direction of Wanderers,
but these onslaughts were beaten
off.
With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marne Front, July 23.-The
troops of General Pershing and
General Petain are holding almost
every inch of ground they have
gained since the counter blow be-
gan on Thursday last.
The Franco-American forces
north of Chateau Thierry now are
holding Epieds and nearby villages
and a bit of territory northeast OF
Mont St. Pere. Further east the
enemy is continuing to counter at
tack unsuccessfully.
Along the greater part OF the
front the artillery fire was the chief
activity, although at places brilliant
infantry operations are taking place,
while machine gun nests make ev-
cry open field potential trap.
Paris, July 23.-(Havas Agency
Reports of the fighting in the Sois-
,kons-Rheims salient appearing in
Hthe Partisan newspapers tell of fires
burning at Fere-en-Tardenois and
Ville-en- Tardenois. Some of these
were, no doubt, caused by bombs
dropped by the allied aviators. but
it is believed that the enemy is de-
stroying stores that cannot be NOV
ed back of the German defensive
line along the Vesle river.
Fere-en- Tardenois is near the
west flank of the salient. while
Ville-en- -Tardenois is further west
and is quite near the allied lines
southwes tof Rheims.
The burning of stores in both
places may be an indication OF
general retirement from the salient
by the Germans.
