IOHN w. MAXEY MADE
ASSISTANT TO SCHWAB

\ recent article in the Dallas
News. telling of the success OF ohn
W. Maxey is OF interest. to ARD
more readers. As consulting engI-
neer, Mr.. Maxey shortly after
statehood. made a report Tor the
citizens Of Ardmore as to the teas
ibility of developing electricity
from the water power OF the WASH
ita. A little more than two years
AGO he made another report on the
same proposition and shortly
thereafter he was called in consul
tation by the Ardmore citizens in
regard TO the building OF toll road
to the oil field. Mr.. MaXey has
many friends here who will be glad
to know of the recognition of his
worth that has been accorded him
by the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton.
The article follows:
John w. MaXey, consulting en-
gneer and assistance manager OF

Houston. and shortly thereafter
he made an inspection tour of the
shops and factories doing work for
the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
He next turned his attention to

work attracted the attention of
Charles NJ. Schwab, who has stead

He was told to reorganize the

DIFFICULT TO BRING
ORDER FROM CHAOS
OF RED BOLSHEVIKI

Archangel, Sept. l2.-(Cor-
respondence OF The Associated
Press s)-Dfficulty besets the Gov
ernment OF the North and its Allied
advisors in their attempt to bring
order out OF the chaos OF nine
months OF Bolshevik regime in the
Archangel province. Slowly but
surely, the task is going forward,
but no one denies it is difficult
job.
One problem the Allies confront
is how to arouse the Russians to
work for their own regeneration
and to join in the task OF shaking
off the grip of the molsheviki. Urg-
ing them to do so, the Silvernoie
Utro, published here, says:
"The French, British and Amer
lean soldiers came here from all
parts OF the world to fight for the
freedom and happiness of this coun-
try. The Russian people look upon
the Allies with envy, with the eyes
OF a beggar watching rich neigh
Dor, and they are making but litrle
effort themselves TO strive for 4 hap
pier and ireer HE. They expect that
the others, the Allies for instance,
will fight for them"
Russia is now divided into two
camps declared the Noyroshdenye
Sievera. "One is on the side OF the
monarchists. the Bolsheviki and the
Germans; the other, all the demo
cratic elements OF Russia stand by
the allies The bolsheviki try to per
suade the population that the allied
intervention aims to restore mon
archy. but the facts show the con-
trary. Russia must fully realize that
the aims of the allies is to lend their
assistance for the regeneration of
Russia on sound and democratic
basis.

Too Many Kisses Detai11
Foch' S Dispatch Riders

With the Allied Armies in Bel
GUM, Friday, Oct. lS.-ln many OF
the towns and localities where the
allied troops have swept past, cele-
brations over their deliverance from
the Germans were carried on all
day today by the people. In Lille,
there were crowds in the streets,
singing, cheering and throwing
roses everywhere. The people have
become so demonstrative in many
places that they have interfered
slightly with the work of the SOL
diers. Runners and despatch riders
obliged to pass trough Courtrai for
instance, have not been making as
good time as usual.
This fact came to the knowledge
of brigadier general, who ordered
the dispatch riders brought before
him. One blushingly said that the
charge against him and the others
was quite true, adding: But we
could not help the delay, sir, for ev-
cry time we go through town we
have each been soundly kissed
1t has been learned from a resi-
dent of Courtrai that German cav
airy officers were giving ball there
celebrating the return OF peace on
the night the city was taken. At the
middle OF the dance British infantry
which had broken through the de
lenses to the west, stormed into the
town and the German cavalry dam
dies had to run for their lives.
London, Oct. l9.-The Daily Mail
correspondent at the British front
describing visit to Lille said =
1T was a physical struggle TO
advance and a sentimental struggle
to wish to witness. All the moth
ers wanted their babies kissed, and
men were bombarded with embraces
handshakes, cheers and thanks.
Except for a few quarters OF
the city especially near the stations
on the east side Of the town, one
would not know that Lille had been
within range OF hostile guns. Win
dows along whole streets were as
clean and bright as in peace times.
What is said to be the supreme
feat Of the war at Lille was the sue
cessful concealment OF a COW four
whole years. This COW is now be-
ing decorated to meet the British
troops. Menin. as we'll as many
other villages between that place
and Roulers, has been visited. The
west side of Menin has been swept
by fire. All the villages had been
systematically looted"

ARTILLERY SHELLS
(Afternoon Report J

iNlltlllpoll NSpoiN'l
With the Allied Forces in Bel
GUM. Oct. 19.-Harlebeke has been
cleared OF the enemy, but allied pa-
trolls pushing eastward have been
fired upon. Moving out OF Dessel-
CHEN. and Marcke, which were oc-
cupied, the allies are advancing
southeast from there. The enemy
artillery is firing heavily on the
British in this section OF the front
where the allied troops are rapidly
drawing close to the Scheldt river.
The British are advancing, rapid
" astride the Lille-Tournay rail-
way. There is no contact with the
main enemy forces south OF this
line. All the bridges over the
Marco, south of Chereng, are in
tact, the Germans having fled so
fast they did not have time to de-
stroy them.
South OF Douai, the British have
reached the outskirts of Auberchi-
court and are east of Ecallon and
east of Pecquencourt. Many civil
ians were liberated in these towns.
The Germans are making vigorous
efforts To remove as much material
as possible from the Belgium coast
region. However, they are under a
heavy bombardment from sea and
land. The Belgian gunners are
handicapped somewhat on account
OF the proximity of the Dutch bor-
der.
Many bridges have been repaired
and many German mines and traps
removed in the Belgian territory al
ready reclaimed.

NATION ON ITS KNEES
NOONTIDE VICTORY PRAYER
SPREAD OVER THE
CONTINENT
Congress Recommends Idea and
Protestants, Catholics, Jews and
Business Organizations Endorse
Plan as Expression of National
Unity.

What the war is doing to the
United States has had an interesting
. illustration in the remarkable spread
OF the idea OF Noon-ride Prayers
for victory, or 'Nictory Prayers or
"The Victory AngeluS.'
This has become a nationwide
movement, Congress has passed
special resolution recommending It,.
Protestant leaders and Catholic car
dinals have issued appeals for lis OBJ
, servance. Some lewis synagogueS
maintain daily meeting for its recoS-
milton. The Rotary and Lions Clubs
are pushing it wherever they exist.
Local pastors OF all faiths are urg-
ing the Noon-Tide Prayers for Vic
tory upon the people. There is moth
ing sectarian or professional about
the practice-it is a rite OF patriot
ism.
In Washington, a huge siren on
top Of an office building, sounds at
noon to call the city to an observ-
ance Of the Prayer Minute, and this
siren was dedicated with formal re-
ligious ceremonies. Church bells fire
bells and factory whistles are user
in various localities to remlni the
people that the hour has struck Tor
Victory Prayers.
! While many churches keep open
/ for these. noon prayers, the general
idea is that each individual, whether
he or she be an avoWedly religious
person or not, shall pause for min
ute at noon, ceasing his occupation
or conversation, and offer up a
silent prayer for Victory upon our
Arms, and Divine blessing upon our
Cause.
Interesting stories are told OF how
customers and statesmen in stores
pause together; and friends chatting
on the street. Red Cross groups
cease their laborS for minute.
Preachers stop in the midst OF their
sermons. Some companies of fellow
workers read aloud special prayer
for the day.
The deep and ineradicable rever-
ence Of the American people is re-
vealed by the sympathy with which
this movement has been met. The
Victory Prayers are an aid to pa
triotism and to the hearts OF the
people in carrying on the war in the
finest spirit.
Beginning today, and continuing
for the duration OF the wal, The
!Ardmoreite will publish daily brief'
original prayer for Victory and our
Cause. Many readers will want to
cut these out for use when at noon
the Victory Bells call all the people
to prayer.
