DATA ON GERMAN
POLISH FRONTIER
COMPLETED TODAY
NEUTRALITY IN ASIA MINOR DE-
CIDED ON BY ALLIED COUN-
Gil; RUSSIAN RELIEF
CONSIDERED

Paris, Aug. 11.--Experts directed by
the supreme allied council to fix the
frontier between Poland and Germany
in upper Silesia. resumed work early
today with the expectation that they
would be able TO present a completed
report to the council when it met late
this afternoon.
Besides deciding that the allies would
maintain an attitude OF strict neutral
ity in Asia Minor, where the Greeks
and Turkish natonalists are engaged
n hostilities, the council yesterday
went on record as being opposed to
interfering with the liberty of priv
ate firms in dealing with the belliger-
ents.
The council agreed that a committee
should be appointed to study the best
means of bringing about allied CO.
operation in sending relief to famine
stricken districts of Russia and 1t was
stipulated that the committee should
submit a report before the present
meeting is over. There appeared to be
general agreement that the for
warding of supplies TO the suffering
provinces Of Russia, need not neces-
sarily involve recognition in any form
Of the soviet government, the question
being described by Prime Minister
Lloyd George as a humanitarian, not
a political matter"

ENGINEERS PREPARE PLATS
PRIOR TO MAKING SURVEY
THROUGH VIRGIN TERRI.
T0RY-PLANS DISCUSSED.

Revived interest - created in Ard
more over the proposed Ardmore,
Duncan and Lawton railroad, and to.
communicated with the commercial or.
ganizations at the two cities in regard
to the project
News comes that engineers have
started preparing maps preparatory
to survey through the virgin terri
feasibility of the road in all Of the
towns along the proposed route, and
booster parties will soon begin a tour
Of the land.
While the road goes through the
most fertile parts of this and adjoin-
ing counties. il is but GO miles in
length, and except for a bridge over
Cache creek, near Lawton, little pre-
paratory work in the way Of dumps
will have to be done
Financing is Problem.
It is pointed out that financing is
the only objectional point in the plans
at this time. since the company which
undertakes the project will have to
be chartered 1t Inole than one mil
lion dollars.
Business men Of Ardmore have in
timated that II the road is assured
more than a third OF the amount can
be raised nCfc. Il has gone 50 fic
that GRE Ailmore man has come FOR
ward with S100. 600 as his share. 9th
or declarations for amounts have been
made until the project takes more
stab.c state.
Either a stean, line or electric line
IS proposed While II Is the bchof
of some that an electric line is the
more expensive, quicker, cleaner and
better service can be given by such
a line.
The proposed route is almost direct
ly northwest and will connect and
serve Oil City, Graham Fox, Alma
N,lma, Arthur and Melroy
Better Rail Connections.
In addition to this direct rail con
nections will bc given with the Rock
Island. Santa Fe and Frisco ut Law
ton and Rock Island at Duncan
These connections will give dircc,
haulage to freight from the south
and east that is now being detoured
either north or directly west
IL is believed by some that the
saving In mileage and freight charges
will offset u great bit Of the adverse
criticism Of the steam ruilroad. since
changes from road can be made with
out transfer of freight.
