ARMEN|ANS DRIVEN
OUT OF OWN LAND
Turks Occupy Kars and Alex
andropoI-Reds End Hos
tiIities for Present.

TIFLIS. December l (by the Asso-
ciated Press).-Armenian forces have
been driven eastward by the Turkish
nationalists until the region they hold
is entirely outside the traditional
boundaries of Armenia. AS a result
Armenia is reduced to a little Cau-
casus republic, such as was created
by the Germans and Turks during the
war. 1t comprises the districts of
Erivan. Novosayazet, thirty miles to
the northeast of that city. and Etch-
miadzin. the ecclesiastical capital of
ancient Armenia. located about TWEEN
ty-five miles north of Mount Ararat-
Turkish nationalistS have occupied
districts Just to the west of this re-
gion, holding Kars. AleNandropol and
Surmalou.
Intervention by Moscow.
Hostilities between the Armenians
and Turkish nationalists have been
suspended through Intervention by the
bolshevik government at Moscow. and
hopes are entertained that further
bloodShed may be averted. Conditions.
however, are frightful in the district
held by the Armenian forces. One
hundred thousand refugees. in the last
stages of deStitution, are travelling
through the snow in all directions.
and the Armenian government is un-
able to provide housing or food pend
ing the arrival of grain promised by
the Russian bolsheviki.
The Turkish nationalists assert
they will not crush Armenia, but will
grant lenient terms These terms.
however. must be in conformity with
Turkish aspirations. ii is declared.
Morale of Army Low.
The morale of Armenia's shattered
army is very low. while the Turks. by
contrast. are well disciplined and
equipped. Reports that soviet Rus
Sia is in disagreement with the Turk
ish nationaliSts are accepted as true,
and it is said Moscow views unfa-
yorably the Turkish advance into
Armenia.
Observers regard Armenia as being
in state of utter chaos. The coun-
try. they say. has ceased to be indie
pendent and half of it's population
has been wiped out by war or star
vatiOn. Workers for the American
Committee for Relief in the Near East
are still at their posts in territory
occupied by the Turks. who have thus
far conducted themselves in respect

DOROTHY DALTON IN
FAVO RITE TYPE OF
ROLE IN u APACHE"

In "L'Apache. the Paramount
Aircraft picture produced by Thomas
H. Ince, when is coming to the
Palace Theatre, today, Dorothy Dalton
appears in the type of role which
first won her fame. 1t was only
few years ago that Miss Dalton left
the stage and determined to become
Il motion picture star. Her first
part was in The Disciple" with
William $. Hart. Ar ince studied
her work carefully and in The
Flame of the Yukon cast her in the
lead in the kind Of character he felt
she was peculiarly fitted to play
an impulsive music hall dancer. She
made an instant hit and has appeared
il wide variety of pictures since,
but "LApache" resembles most closely
the one that established most closely
the one that established her as a.
star.
She is not a western girl in this
latest picture. but French dancer
in the Apache quarter. Because Of
her beauty and dancing skill, she is
known as the Carmen OF the
Apaches" Her partner is her Apache
husband, whom she hates with the
fury of down-trodden woman. Then
comes the opportunity to escape by
masquerading as an American heircss
whom she resembles closely. 1t Is IA
stirring drama of thrills, adventure
and love. Robert Elliott is Miss Dal-
TONS leading man, and the picture
was directed by Joseph De Grasse.

The most remarkable race ever
made by congressman in Oklahoma
was made by Congressman Carter OF
the Third Oklahoma District, In the
election held November ..
Mr. Carter won over his Republ-
can opponent, Mr.. Shnabarger of Me-
Alester, by G.994 votes. The county
OF Plttsburg where his Republican
opponent lives. gave majority TO
the Harding-Cooidge ticket, but Mr..
Garter carried that county by 300
votes.
This IS record that no other con-
gresham in this state has ever made.
Prior to the announcement of the
vote by the state election board, the
result of the election IN the Third
District became known, and Mr.. Car
ter has received many letters com
plimenting him upon his splendid
victory and some of the writer's of
these letters state that he will be
drafted as Il candidate for governor
two years from now.
There is no doubt that the Repub-
licans will make a bitter fight to
capture this state two years from
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1920-11-14

now, and the Democrats will be
looking out for their best man and
their best vote getter and naturah,
the attention OF the Democracy Of
the state will be attracted to Mr..
Carter.
Without an expression of Mr. Car
ter, The Ardmoreite has no author
ty to make comment on the matter
of his becoming a candidate for GOV
ernor but the prospects are that Mr..
Carter can remain in congress from
this district as long as he desires to
stay in politics and the chances are
against his becoming candidate
for gubernatorial honors
The next fight for governor in Okla
homa is going to be fierce one. both
parties will offer what they consider
good men and both candidates will
be required to make many sacri-
iices for the party each one repre-
scnts. The third district would not
Ike to give up Mr. Carter. He has
done wonderful service for the
people especially in the settlement
of Indian questions that affect the
prosperity of this section of the state
