and Moselle east of Verdun and south of ijritish military critics a lon'
of Hartmann Weilerkopf were repuls- step ln the airection desired by the
ed in day and night fighting. The Ger- allies but they place even more !m-
mans are slowly gaining ground in' Krtance on the advance from Reg-
the forest of LaPretre. i nieville toward Thlimmurt in the
ture by the Russians of almost all
the main chain of mountains the
battle of the Carpathians which has
lasted upward of eighty days is ap-
parently reaching a termination over
one extensive front and the Russians
are said to be moving at various
points by railways and roads and
along the rivers and streams down
the southern slopes toward the plains
of Hungary.
This movement if it continues suc-
cessfully will in the view of the Rus-
sian military authorities compel the
retirement with little or no fighting
of the Austrians and Germans who
are still north of the Carpathians
to the east of Uzsok pass and in
eastern Oalicia and Bukowina.
The battle which has 'been thus sue
cessfully conducted by the Russians
was from all accounts one of the
fiercest of the war and the manner
In which the Russians overcame the
difficulties of mountain fighting in
midwinter has been the subject of

southwest as the latter town is .a
railway center from which the force
at St. Mihiel draws its supplies.
This battle has not. as yet proved
the prelude to a general offensive
in the west as was expected. TMi
is probably due to the fact that n-
stead of moving troops from other
points along the line to assist the
army of the Woevre the Germans
have brought their reinforcements
from the interior of Germany or
perhaps right from the eastern front
and consequently the situation ro-
mains comparatively quiet on the
western front.

tas started the 'bombardment. They
had started toward us Ruclas the
Villa headquarters.
Rifle bullets fell thickly in Browns-
ville suburb west of the city during
the sharp fighting caused by the sor-
tie which appeared to be an effort
to capture the Villa cannon. The
Villa gunners were accurate and
from the direction" from which the
shells came it appeared that none
would cross the border.

ENGLAND BELIEVES PEACE WILL
HAVE COME BY JULY. THE COM-
PLAINTS OF LABOR ARE JUST.
SCHOOLS FOR HOSPITALS.
Robert Watchorn United States
commissioner of immigration under
president Roosevelt's administration
and who Is now president of the Samo-
set Oil Company has recently return-
ed from a visit to Kngland. The Samo
set is a halt-million dollar company
which has recently been organized
and entered the Oklahoma oil fields
In speaking of the outlook for the oil
business Mr. Watchorn said "When
the government releases the tankers
which it has commandeered and when
over production ceases the market
will b"come normal again. In my
opinion the dishing flood lias been an
advantage to the situation. That ad-
vantage comes in the extension that
the flood of oil has given to the mar-
ket. People are now using oil that
will be loath to go hack to coal ami
the market will have a permanent ex-
tension that will be of great value
to the Industry. California extended
its market by periodical floods of oil
and the same results will be worked
In Oklahoma. I learned while abroad
that the estimate placed upon the
number of horses that will be slain
during the European war Is one and
one-half millions. It will require five
or six years to replace these animals
and in the meantime there will be
a much larger percentage of motor
vehicles use."
Talks of Peace
Mr. WaUhorn Is of Scottish descent
and naturally Is favorable to the side
of the allies In the Kuropean war. He
believes that In the end the United
Kingdom will win. He also stated
that It would require all the power
that these nations can bring to bear
to conquer Germany. Kngland he says
Is of the opinion that the war will
be ended by July of this year. When
asked concerning the labor situation In
the United Kingdom Mr. Watchorn
said "In America we are inclined to
criticise the British laborers who are
complaining of the wages they receive.
From our point of view it seems like
the Knglish workman should be con-
tented with the privilege of staying
with his work even at a small wage
rather than to be Idle or to enter the
army. But I learned that the unrest
Is with the highest class of labor. The
Knglish manufacturer lias doubled the
price of his products. The cost of
manufacturing has not been advanced
and now he refuses to divide bis
enormous profits with the Knglish la-
borers and as a natural consequence
there Is dissatisfaction among the
class who has Intelligence enough to
see that the employer of labor is reap-
ing a harvest while he is raking hay
at the same old price. Public senti-
ment with laborers Is against resort-
ing to strike methods. At this time
when it Is necessary that the armies
In the field be supplied from the out
put of the factories a striker would be
looked upon with contempt somewhat
akin to that which attaches to the
deserter from the army. It Is not fair
to labor either In America or Kngland
to criticise these workmen without
first understanding the conditions that
prompt them to become restive."
From Mr. Watchorn It was learned
that nearly all of the high school
buildings ln Kngland are being equlp-
flped for hospital service and It is ex-
pected that these buildings will be
filled with wounded soldiers from the
spring campaign.

BREAK GLASS IN REAR WINDOW
AND RIFLE CASH REGISTER OF
SMALL AMOUNT OF CHANGE.
EVIDENTLY WORK OF BOYS.
A rear window in the story of Bra
dy & Brady on West Main street
was broken last night and some one
tendered and rifled the cash register
of a small amount of change but so
far nothing else has been missed. It
was evidently the work of a boy or
boys because the place of entrance
and exit was through a small window.
besides had it been adults they
would have taken something of value
beside the cash they got.
This Is the second time within a
year that this store has been bur
glarlzed. The first thief was captured
and about $300 worth of the stolen
stuff recovered.
WHEN "BILL" MURRAY WAS
CZAR IN OKLAHOMA
When "Alfalfa Bill" Murray presided
over the constitutional convention In
Oklahoma he ruled with a czar-like
hand that made that of Joe Cannon
ln his palmy days seem palsied and tol-
erant. He named all committees de-
termined the order of business and
recognized whom he saw fit.
One day a young member sought to
get the floor in spite of Murray'sh evi-
dent Intention not to recognize him.
"I demand the floor" he cried.
"But you have nothing to say" ruled
Murray "You made one speech when
you first came here telling all you
knew and you haven't learned any-
thing since."

PRACTICAL
ECONOMY TO
BE TAUGHT
AT ARDMOREITE FREE HOME
ECONOMICS SCHOOL MISS
PEET IS AN ENTERTAINING
LECTURER.
KVKRV woman who keeps
house Is interested in
the money question
whether her income ba
large or small. Mob.
women of today realize
Unit a 'home should bo
run on an economical basis in J-ist
the samo manner and for Jiift the
same reason that a busin its is made
to pay. Florence M. Pee.' who has
bevn engaged to give six housekeeping
lectures and cookery da-nolii-trillions
in Robison Opera House next week.
Is a practical economist. She his
studied the question of real and prac-
tical household economy thoroughly
and scientifically and will d'scuss
this matter in a way to Interest t!w
woman who has plenty of money iw
well as the one who must exercise
considerable thought to make both
ends meet.
Course Is Useful.
Miss Peets' course of instruction
as planned for the Ardmorelte Free
Home Economics School for Ardmore
housewives is eminently useful and
usable and her aim is to teach
women Hiow to oonduct their homes on
a business-like basis and prepare
substantial nourishing foods for the
enjoyment and upbuilding of each
memlber of the family.
Like all famous cooks Miss Peet
cannot refrain from indulging now
and then in something new and un-
usual In the food line and along with
the substantial every-day foods
which she will demonstrate in her
cookery lessons next week she has
a few rather sensational and extreme-
ly Interesting dishes. One of these
Is bakod Ice cream. Miss Peet finds
women always Interested In this ex-
traordinary delicacy and though they
are Inclined to regard the announce-
ment as something of a hoax she
demonstrates that the dish Is a sim-
ple though extremely delicious one.
She will not only show during her
stay In Ardmore how ice cream will
be baked without melting it but
will serve baked Ice cream at the
evening; session which has been ar-
ranged for during her stay here.
Miss Peet believes that the ques-
tion of what to eat is one of the
most important to be answered at
all times. It is one of ever recur-
ring Interest and unless the house-
wife has a knowledge of food val-
ues and plans hr meals ahead with
a view to enjoyment nourishment
and economy she is apt to feel that
tills question Is a very dull and tire-
some one. Miss Pent' has a message
for women who are discouraged along
this line and promises to show them
how to attack this problem and re-
duce it to one of interest and fas-
cination. SENDING MEN TO FIGHT
