Lemberg via Petrograd April 14. i
In a desperate attack by the Russians
on the right flank of the Austrian po-
itinn at Meznlaboroz. on the Hun
garian side of the East Beskid moun-
tains about fifty miles south of Przem.
ysl the Austrians were forced to re-
treat precipitately after a twelve;
hours' battle. '
The whole main crest which the'
Austrians considered impregnable is
now in Russian hands. '
The main body of Austrians then
moved on Rostock Pass where thei
entrenched Russians repulsed them.!
Another Austrian attack in the south-i
ern district of Uszok pass was re-'
pulsed and the Russians occupied a
position three miles from Uzsok.
These battles are regarded but as
parts of the giant conflict along the
front of one hundred miles from Bart-
feld In northern Hungary to Stry in
East Galicia.
State of Siege in Austria.
Rome April 14. A dnjpatch from
Trent says a state of siege will prob-
ably be proclaimed in Austria because
of the unrest resulting from the Rus-
sian advance across the Carpathians.
Wealthy Hungarians are said to be
preparing for flight.
The same dispatch says Emperor
Francis Joseph has agreed for Austria
to cede to Italy the provinces Italy
wants provided Italy will join in the
war against the allies. This state-
ment is believed to be unfounded
here.
French Attacks Repulsed.
Berlin April 14. An official an-
nouncement says the fighting con-
tinues between the Meuse and Mo-
selleT" The French attacks have been
repulsed at Ailly near Fliery near
Berry au Bac and in the Vosges.
The eastern front is unchanged.
Quiet in West Again.
Paris April 14. It is officially an-
nounced that a Zeppelin dropped
bombs at Bailleul a French town near
the Belgian border yesterday killing
three civilians. The bombs were evi-
dently intended for the nearby avia-
tion grounds but missed. Three Ger-
man aeroplanes were brought down
and captured yesterday . The entire
front is generally calm.

reconvened today Lewis Harcourt un-
dersecretary of state for the colo-

so announced that beer is now the on-
ly intoxicant permitted in British can-
teens and that It was the intention
of the authorities to prohibit the sale
of beer.
Cotton Not Contraband

WEATHER FORECAST
New Orleans La.. April 14.
The weather forecast for Okla-
homa for tonight and Thursday
Is unsettled with showers in
tlve western portion

Not the American Swobonu
Purls April 14. The real name or
the man held in connection with the
recent fire at sea aboard the French
liner La Touraine is Raymond Ruff
Si-hwind son of a Bremen official ac-
cording to the Paris Journal. He had
been known as Raymond Swobonda
claiming to he an American citizen.
Allied Attack Fails
Constantinople April 14. It is of-
ficially announced that the enemy's
patrol ships Tuesday bombarded un-
successfully the batteries at the en-
trance to the Dardanelles. A cruiser
and one destroyer were struck by
Turkish shells.
Nothing Stops Russians.
London April 14. Two gateways
into Hungary still remain barred de-
spite the tremendous hammering by
the Russian forces and as the lleskid
Pass is the less important of the two
strategically a further advance into
Hungary hangs upon the possession
of Uzsok Pass where the invaders are
meeting with the most stubborn oppo-
sition. Several days ago the Russian cap-
tured a position which gave them com-
mand of a road leading to the rear of
Uzsok Pass but since then the Teu
tonic allies have checked the move-
ment In this direction.
The importance of the Carpathian
operations is Indicated by the half
hearted actions reported from the oth-
er sections on the long eastern front
where even the counter offensive in
East Galicia. which evidently was
planned to divert the Russian efforts
from the pass seems to have been
prosecuted with little energy.
The people of the dual monarchy
are said to he greatly cheered by the
number of German reinforcements
passing through Budapest on the way
to the Carpathian front to take part
In the operations which are now be-
lieved to be in charge of the German
general staff. The whole campaign In
the east pivots on Uzsok Pass where
the Austro-German forces are in such
great strength that the efforts of the
Russians to reach the Hungarian
plains are likely to be prolonged.
In the west the French apparently
are satisfied with their recent suc-
cesses between the Meuse and the
Lorrain frontier and claim only to
have come in contact wtth the German
entanglements! n this region. Official
German reports assert that determined
attacks by the French have been re-
pulsed along this sector.
Probably no session of the British
parliament since the opening of the
war has been awaited with keener In-
terest than the sitting which will be-
gin tomorrow. A "dry" lOngland un-
known except for a period of two
years 150 years ago is not beyond the
possibilities but the government has
given not the slightest official hint
to what action may be expected in
its undoubted determination to attack
the problem restricting the consump-
tion of alcoholic liquors. Several days
ago an opposition paper published a
forecast of the government plan
which it asserted contemplated the
prohibition of all liquors except light
beer which would be manufactured
by the government.
This prediction received some con-
firmation tonight from a government
organ which declared that the entire
business of the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic liquors is to become a gov-
ernment moaopoly.
LEPROSY DECLARED
CURABLE DISEASE

of contracting the disease.

by Or. Adolph II. Boehmer who has
arrived here from Siam. For flv
years Dr. Boehmer was surgeon-
general of that country and private
physician to the late King Chula-
longkorn. "All the house boys I had during

except those who had the disease in
a too advanced form when they came
to me" Dr. lloehmer said.
"The cure is sure and leprosy-
could be stamped out in this country
In a short time."

to study the treatment of tropical diseases.
YOUNG IN
MANGLED BY
PASSING TRAIN
HOW ACCIDENT HAPPENED IS A
MYSTERY PEOPLE ATTRACT
ED BY HIS CRIES SUMMONED
PHYSICIAN.
Guy C. Lindsay a young man well
known about here who has been
making his home with his father
S. T. Lindsay near Mannsville was
run over and badly mangled by a
southbound Santa Fe train early this
morning near the stock yards south
of the city limits.
.lust how the accident occurred is
a mystery so far as he has not been
able since the physician arrived to
give a comprehensive account of the
affair. Both feet were badly .crushed
which will necessitate partial ampu-
tation. His left arm was broken
and he was otherwise badly bruised.
Karl Brown of The ArdmorePe
force who resides near the scene of
the accident was attracted by his
cries for help early this morning
and was the first to reaeii his side
and summon help. He states that he
found Lindsay on the east side of
the tracks while part of his clothing
was on the west side. Lindsay has
not been able to give an accounting
for this condition of affairs.
He was removed to the Hardy san-
itarium where he Is resting as well
as could be hoped for after such
a severe shock. At best Lindsay
will be a cripple for life. He is
about 21 years of age.

possible no human being has ever
been able to keep this one secret
for very long.
He arrived in this city yesterday

tington 'hotel as plain J. T. Mcintosh

of judioiary committee No. 2. The
fifth legislature recognizing his abil-
ity promoted him at the recent ses
sion from committee No. 2 to com
mittee No. 1 where lie likewise

Mr. Mcintosh and Miss Salter have
known each other for a long time.
and when the recent legislature final
ly adjourned they concluded the only
thing left for them to do in order
to not be separated by the miles
between Oklahoma City and Durant
was to get married which they pro
ceeded to do. They left here on the
early morning train for Durant

BETTER FOOD .1
CAMPAIGN IS
DIFFERENT
FLORENCE M. PEET DOMESTIC
SCIENCE EXPERT WILL COOK
FOR CROWDS NEXT WEEK
RARE TREAT IN STORE.
ONE OF THE MOST
successful food lecturers
and demonstrators of the
country has been engag-
ed by The Ardmoreite to
X3 Economic lectures and
cookery lessons for the women of
Carter . county In Robison Opera
House for the week of April 19.
Home Economics schools or as they
are more familiarly known cooking
schools have become exceedingly
popular and to meet the demand of
the times The Ardmoreite has Ar-
ranged to hold such a school for the
women of Ardmore and vicinity. In
looking about for a competent cook-
ery teacher to conduct this school.
The Ardmoreite found a number of
progressive women who have studied
this work thoroughly and are help-
ing housewives throughout the coun-
try by bringing domestic science to
their attention in a practical and
workable manner.
One of the most successful and
popular of the domestic science teach
ers who are carrying on this work
Is Florence M. Peet. Miss Peet ha
lectured in nearly every part of the
Unlted States and In other countries.
She 'has ibeen particularly successful
in Interesting women of the middle
west in Better" l-'oods and Better
Homes and it is because of this fact
that The Ardmoreite has securl
her to conduct the free Home Econ
omics school which will be held in
Ardmore next week.
Miss Peet says that when a wom-
an starts to consider Just how much
enjoyment she can create in the
world by being a good cook she
will never be satisfied until she is
one not Just an ordinary good cook
but a superlatively good one. When
she gives the matter sufficient
thought to realize that the home is
the backbone of the nation and that
the kitchen is the heart of the home
she will no longer regret the time
spent In the kitchen but will feel that
this time is well spent If it ministers
to the health and well "being the
happiness and efficiency of her fam-
ily. The question of what to eat will
receive such treatment in Miss Pcet'a
clever hands that the ladles of Ard-
more who make up her classes will
hereafter consider it no difficult mat-
ter to decide . what to bave for a
breakfast dinner and supper. Miss
Peet will not only give valuable In-
formation in regard to choosing oC
proper pleasing and nourishing foods
and the planning of balanced menus
but will tell how these foods may-
be cooked in the most enjoyable
nourishing and economical manner.
There is not according to report
coming in from other cities where
Miss Peet has lectured a single dry
and uninteresting thread in the
w hole warp and woof of her lecture
and cookery course.
