WATER SITUATION GRAVE
EMERGEN Cy PLANS To Be
DISCUSSED At FRIDAY
NIGHTS MEET|N Of THE
CITY COMMISSIONERS

People who have conducted an in
| vestigation of the water situation in
Ardmore are alarmed over what they
have found.
| From the city pump station it is
! learned that from 10000 to 200, 900
gallons OF water are coming through
the Hickory creek line at this time.
1t is also learned from the same
source that there is being pumped
into the city mains each day 100000
| gallons.
This means that about one-tenth
ing from the mountains and nine-
tenths Of the water comes from the
city lake.
The lake at this time is within 16
inches of it lowest point and con
| tains. according to an estimate by a
private citizen, about enough water
to last the city for 30 days.
Commissioners Not Unmindful
| The city commissioners are not un-
mindful of the situation and on Fri
day night number of large users
will meet with the commissioners to
talk the matter over and to determine
upon 2 plan of reduction of the con-
| sumption of water.
a party composed Of Wilson New
man, a. c. Holman, Far,ey Rich
mond and Les Wilkinson visited the
source of supply recently. They re-
port that very little water is coming
down the creek, that three-fourths of
the intake pipe is out Of the water
that all or practically all the water
coming down the creek finds its way
into the water main and that there
is no way by which the Hickory
creek line could be made to carry
more water at this time.
Would Reduce Consumption
| One Of the visitors To the source
of supply says that the remedy to
be applied is to reduce water con-
sumption. He states that cars should
not be washed, that lawns should
not be sprinkled and that the swim
ming pool should not be supplied He
also states that dam should be built
| Immediately at the intake. That funds
should be supplied BY private citizens
for the work and to receive remunera-
ton later from the city. That dam
there would result in impounding
| water when the first rain comes.
That there is big water shed but
that it sheds water within three days
after rain and that a dam must be
built if the water is to be brought
through the pipe line. The springs
are giving up but small amount

to have swindled Mr.. Coughlin Of

only was the swinder, but the actual

The man under arrest is q resident
of New Gretna, n. j., IS miles from
Egg Harbor. where he was captured
last Monday. He recently purchased
a house at New Gretna, and bought

On account Of the heavy vote pol.

70 see that it was absolutely correct
in every detail before making affidavit
to the returns.
Close Race for County Clerk

probably excited mere interest than
any in the county, resulted in Harris
receiving the nomination by q ma

tSummary by the Associated Press)

(Summary by the Associated Press)
Efforts by the armies of the Polish
republic to stem the tide Of the
Russian bosheviki invasion which
threatens Warsaw seem to have been
futile
Brest-Litovsk, the last bastion In
the permanent defenses, east of the
Polish capital, is in the hands OF
the soviet armies, and I.omza, an
important railroad junction and strate-
gic base to the northeast, and Kovel,
northeast Of Brest.Litovsk, have been
given up by the Poles.
West of Brest.Litovsk, the Poles
still hold the great forts that have
made that city one Of the principal
fortresses Of eastern Europe, but
soviet troops have been flung across
the Bug river, farther to the north
west and it would appear this move
will compel a retirement Of the Poles
from their defenses.
The Russians are advancing in
Echeon, after the tactics adopted by
General Mackensen, when he led the
German armies in the great Dunageo
campaign during the world war and
the Poles are repeatedly being out
flanked and forced to leave positions
they have held for days against 'front.'
al attacks.
The Polish armistice commission
leaves Warsaw, for Minsk today to
meet representatives. of the Moscow
government for the purpose Of arrang-
ing an armistice and beginning peace
negotiations.
There are many reports of allied
action ito stop the advance of the
bolsheviki. or to come to the aid of
Poland, but as yet nothing authori-
tative has been reported relative to
this phase Of the seemingly desperate
situation confronted by the infant
republic.

STRUGGLE EQUAL
THE EUROPE PEAN WAR

The steady march Of the Russians
upon Warsaw has created a situation
which is causing grave anxiety in
European capitals. Some expressions
go even to the extent of comparing
It with that Of August, 1914.
The allies are making representa-
tons TO soviet Russia in aid of Po-
land, the British note dispatched yes
terday being now described in some
quarters as in the nature of an ulti-
matum, although allegations that it
contained a threat Of war are not
confirmed in authoritative quarters.
The Russian emissaries now in London
are reported to have recognized the
gravity of the situation and to be
requesting their government to halt
the march in Poland.
