HICKORY CREEK
THE CHOICE NOW
CITY COMMISSION HAS SPE-
CIAL MEETING TO DECIDE
WATER QUESTION.

When the meeting of the mayor
and city commissioners ended We'd
nesday night, it was announced that
recess would be taken to last
night, as there was an amount oi
unfinished business to be disposed
of.
The mayor and commissioners
had agreed upon the city sinking
4 well and following a long discus
sion of the relative advantages and
disadvantages OF the Washita river,
and Hickory creek plans, as to fur
nishing a supply of water that ques-
ton was left to be settled at some
future time.
A meeting was called by the
mayor yesterday forenoon at ii
O'Clock and the Hickory creek plan
adopted and the engineer instruct
ed to go ahead and prepare detail
ed -plans, specifications and es;i-
mates for the work.
There were present at the mee1-
ing, the mayor the commissioners,
the engineer and the representative
of pipe foundry. The mayor
said today that the pipe man had to
go away and it was necessary -
close with him before he lett.
After this had been settled, the
mayor said, the commissioners
came downstairs, when the meeting
to be held last night was spoken ii
and Commissioner Gardner said he
could not be present as he was go
ing to Oil Springs, Then, the
mayor stated, Commissioner Fraley
said they might as well dispose OF
the water question then. He called
to Commissioner Wilson, who had
crossed the street, 10 come back.
They all went to the assembly
chamber and adopted the Hickory
creek plan. The mayor said every
commissioner had made up his
mind the night before that the
Hickory creek was the best plan,
and there was no reason why the
matter should be longer delayed.
The mayor said no other busi-
ness was transacted at the meet
ing, the matter of the appointment
of city attorney not having been
before hat meeting.
The mayor and commissioners
then went to the country to look
for star rig and also to look at a
spring as a possible temporary wa
ter supply. They expect to secure
rig today.

Campaign in Ardmore August S.
By Charles II. Adams

(Staff Correspondent Ardmoreite)
Anadarko, Okla, July 26.-The
opening guns of the state political
campaign, so far as Lawton is con-
cerned, were fired Wednesday night
when William II. Murray and Will
liam Durant, candidates for the
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor, and G.. w. Herod, candidate for
member of the state corporation
commission spoke on the court
house lawn. 1t was Mr.. Murray's
meeting, having been advertised for
several days, but when he found
that Mr.. Durant and Mr.. Herod
were in the city, in his character
istic courteous manner, he invited
them to participate in the meeting. 1t
was the first time in the campaign
that a candidate for state office had
spoken to Lawton people and
large and attentive crowd sat
through more than two hours and
a half of the political talkfest.
Durant and Schools.
Mr.. Durant confined his remarks
- his efforts to advance the sec
6ndary schools OF the state and told
of his efforts to promote In everr
way the educational advantages Of
fered Oklahoma's youth. Cameron
State School of Agriculture is To-
Gated here and Mr.. Durant urged
that the voters make certain that
they line up behind candidate
whom they know will not, under any
pretext handicap any OF the state
educational institutions, particular
" the agricultural and vocational
schools, for, he pointed out, when
the war is over, it will be necessary
for the state to be prepared to edu-
cate and train its returned soldier
heroes, who have been incapacitated,
in trades at which they can provide
for themselves and families.
Herod Spoke Briefly.
Mr.. Herod spoke briefly. relying
largely on his claim that the west
side of the state is entitled to rep
resentation on the state corpora
ton commission. Mr.. Herod is an
attorney, a resident of Woodward,
in the northwestern portion OF the
state.
Murray Heartily Applauded' =.
Mr.. Murrays' address commanded
the closest attention OF his audience
for more than an hour and a halt
and the large crowd frequently
punctuated his remarks with hearty
applause. His marvellous store OF
facts and figures fairly astonished
his listeners. and he received many
compliments.
Mr.. Murray's address was con-
fined largely to a plea for prepared
ness at all times and for a proper
training of men and women in civil
life as well as an adequate prepara-

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS

Amsterdam, July 26.-Austrian
social democrats have introduced
an Interpolation in the Austrian
lower house asking thai the govern
ment negotiate Immediately with
Germany with view to jointly fix
ing war aims and peace terms and
repeating Austrian readiness for
peace without annexations and in
IDENTITIES according to a Vienna
dispatch to the Nieuve Rotterdam

The social democrats assert that

The Public Be Damned

W be taken up again at the
<Ag meeting.
ii of this monkey business
+ ows that the public was abso-
, .utely right on January 2l when
it refused to sanction the pro-
posed bond issue until Mayor
Roberts had unequivocally de-
clared that he was willing ito
submit the whole work to a
committee; and. if desired, to
turn the expenditure of the
money over to a board to be Sc
lected by the citizens
1t was on the basis of this
promise that The Ardmoreite
supported the bond issue and on
which it was voted by the peo-
pie. The mayor and commission
ers now insist on ignoring this
promise altogether and if COM
plications ensue it will be no
ones fault but their own.
The experience of Ardmore
with the Caddo creek PROPOSE
ton, the plant for which was
torn out at the very beginning
of another of Mayor Roberts
administration before the feast
bility of the project was tested,
has been sufficient to arouse the
people to the present state OF
affairs. The very fact that cv-
cry move made in this present
bond issue has been more or
less surreptitious is not an en-
couraging sign of better things
from the present adninistra-
ton.
Ardmore is now a twelve mil
lion and half dollar corpora
ton in which more than 10000
peopel are stockholders and no
temporary board of directors
has a right to completely ignore
the people in the conduct of its
affairs. The Ardmoreite is of
the opinion that the action of
the commissioners at its pri-
vate meeting yesterday MORN
ing will come a long way from
settling the water question.

TONS OF BOMBS
RA|NED ON HUNS
DELUGE OF EXPLOSIVES
AND MACHINE GUN
FIRE.

Washington, July 26.-An &C
count of the activities OF the French
air service obtained from authentic
sources today shows the suffering
being inflicted on the German army
crowded into the Aisne- Marine sal
lent. Tons of bombs are being rain
ed from the air night and day.
During the period of the firs.
two weeks of June, French airmen
alone dropped 900 tons OF high ex-
plosives on the Germans in the
trenches, on rest billets, railway sta
tions and on munition works far
back of the fighting lines. A total
of 2,672 flights weer made for mil
itary purposes durinO that time,
and more than 1000 combats oc-
CURED in the air. In this fighting
l99 German planes were destroyed
or forced to land in French terri
tory and l6l others were damaged
and probably destroyed, making q
total of 500 enemy machines
brought down against loss of "
machines by the French.
Twelve of the French planes
brought down were only damaged
Coupled with this French effort
today in the Aisne salient, is the
work of concentrated British and
American squadrons, and the air
men are at work night and day. Not
a spot within the enemy lines is
neglected and his retreat is carried
on under the same dcluge of bombs
and machine gun fire from the air

Thus spake Mayor Bill"
Roberts in action if not in

ers when they decided it was the
thing to do to get together and
put over the Hickory Creek
water proposition whether or
no, deliberately slapp,ng every
one in the face who had shown
an interest in the water situa-
ton. Adjourning after midnight
Thursday morning till night to
take up the matter further, the
commission came together at
10 yesterday to place contrac,
for pipc--bids for which were
to be advertised for later, like
the incinerator deal-and while
they were present someone 5ug-
gested that the water business
be settled and the members
voted unanimously to adopt the
Hickory Creek plan.
Regardless OF the merits of
this plan, the action taken by
the commissioners was wholly
unwarranted, showing the ut

matters of this sort, as no one
was warranted in thinking that

ABOUT To COLLAPSE
LENINE TELLS OF WOES OF
HIS GOVERNMENT AND
PALS.

Amsterdam, July 26.-Premi.r
Lcnine, in speech at Moscow be-
fore the government conference OF
factory committees, said the posi-
ton of the bolsheviki republic has
become extremely acute in view of
the international complications,
counter revolutionary conspiracies
and the food crisis, according to
Moscow dispatch received by way
of Berlin.
The Russian proletariat knows
very well, Leninc told the confer
cnce, that the united action of the
workers of the entire world or OF
some of the highly developed cap
italiStic causes was an essential con-
dition to the victory OF the Russian
revolution. 1t was easy for Russia
10 begin revolution, but extraof-
dinarily difficult to continue and
conclude it. On the other hand, the
beginning of revolution in such 4
long organized bourgeois country
as Germany was extremely diff
cult; but then it would be so much
easier to carry it to completion.
Referring to the Brest-Litovsk
treaty, Lenine said that according
to the treaty Russia must pay Ger
many six billion rubles (three bill
lion dollars). The attempt of the
social revolutionists of the left 10
entangle Russia in war with Ger
many by the murder of the German
ambassador was not the way to
evade the treaty. The way out
must be found by the joint exer-
tons OF the proletariat and the poor
peasants, he contended.

HOOYf En- IS GUEST Of
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
AT BANQUET LLOYD GEORGE
TOUCHES ON THE FOOD
PROBLEM.

London, July 26.-(Thursday)-
The government gave dinner this
evening in honor of Herbert Z.
Hoover, the American food admin
istrator; Victor Boret, French min
ister of provisions, and DR.. Silvio
Crespi, Italian food minister.
Premier Lloyd George, propos-
ing the health of the guests, paid
glowing tribute to Mr.. Hoover.
He said that through him America
had achieved great triumph in Sc
curing large number OF people N

There was now no fear whateve:.

had made the greatest gamble N
her history, she had pitted her
whole destiny upon the success CT
the submarine campaign, and :;
had failed.
After comparing Great Britain's
abundance of food with Germany's
scarcity, Premier Lloyd George said
he regretted the necessity for bring
ing in a warning as 4 skeleton at
the feast.
1t was not altogether a question
of food, IT was a question OF ton
mage. America was sending hum
dreds of thousands of men month
ly. More were coming, and next
year it would be gigantic army.
and il was a question of bringing
supplies for that army. This would
absorb more tonnage than carrying
the men themselves. America was
building ships at great rate and
her program was a great success
Great Britain was also building 3s
fast as she could, but in addition to
building she had to keep her gi-
gantic fleet repaired, and mo-. OF
the repairs to American ships must
be done in Great Britain. conse-
quenily there was a limit to the
number of ships which could oe

While the number of ships was
