The silence of Secretary linker in-
.Heated that no oflicial report of the
occupation of the trenches Iiad been re-
calved. General Perishing 1m tlie Judge
of all matters jwrtalning to the training-
of his force and he probably did
not inform the department of his
plans in advance as every effort was
mode to prevent tho enemy from learn-
ing what wn afoot.
It Is certain however th:it tho de-
partment was fully prepared for the
statement. Secretary looker's review of
the war situation this week indicated
that American troops in France were
nraring the end of their strenuous
training behind the line. Events prove
that they have progressed xo rapidly
In tho art of niodvrn trench warfare
that their commanders find French in-
structors believed them ready for the

scribers were standing in line in thous-

the country and most of the twent-six

Tlie correspondent traveled t.xlay forty
niilos along the battle front with the
terrific roar of bombardment showing
tlie great range of the movement.
Surprise Attack Planned.
It Is now clear that the Austrian
and Germans sought to make a surprise
attack at the least fortified point on the
north of the Julian front. Tlie field of
j tlie present operations can bo likened to
I a huge letter 'i From the left iwin of
the! the T to its fool is about twenty-two
foj. j miles. On this left arm Van Mackensen
j attempted I deliver hi.s big blow. The
' arm extends Kevrn miles westward
drive closed late last night with the
total amount subscribed reaching well
beyond a million dollars. Early in the
night figures were compiled which show-
led that $1001250 hod been tabulated
and the success of the campaign brought
congratulations from every source.
The minimum allotment for Carter
county was $f.44000 which was reached
Thursday. The maximum. $S10.ooo was
lasxeJ yesterday and. determined to tct
a mark thnt would alwuys be regarded
with pride the executive committee ex-
erted every effort to reach the million-
Uoltar figure. At six o'clock last night
It was utated that this had been accom-
plished but shortly after when rs-
checking tho figures it was found thnt
one $15000 subscription had been count-
ed twice and then the effort was re-
newed. At about eight o'clock last night
the million-dollar record was given out.
Additional subscriptions were coming in
and when the complete detailed figures
are availablo. It is believed that there
will be several thousand dollars in ex-
cess of a million on tho records.
Remarkable Campaign.
The campaign Just closed mark an
ipoch In the history of the county and
was carried on unrte.r the dirretlon of the
Carter County Council of Defense. Just
ten days ago the campaign waa launch-
i and during thai time siieechea have
leen made in every school house of any
importance in the county night after
right !n the theatars and the residence
portion of the city has. been thoroughly
canvassed by committees. Like all cam-
ligns of such nature It begun In "low
gear" but before five days were over
!t was "up hi high" and the announce
ment two days ugo that tlie uiiiiltnuiu
had been reached only- stiinotaterl tie
workers to a higher mark and it was
i immediately decided that tin million
dollar record should be attain-! )efore
the close of the campaign.
Women's Wonderful Wisrk.
Tlie women's auxiliary committee
which was organized only four days ago
.id remarkable work and brought the
final silver lining when Just before six
o'clock it turned In a little more than
$75.00.1. Mrs. J S. Mullen. Mrs. Erret
Dunlap. Airs. W. F. Wlilttington trs.
G. A. Ramsey. Mis. Max Wes'lielmer.
and Mrs. E. L. Gregory worked unceas-

more than repaid for their strenuous
day when informeU that their subscrip-
tion: took Carter county "over the top."
The Boy Scouts.
Another factor In the campaign was

Chairman Whlttlngton's Statement.
"It hss )een a duty well done" Chair-
man Whittlngton said "and none of us
want any personal credit or glory. We
Just want another opisirtunlty to serve
our government and are ready for the
next demand on our time. Unless I
mistake the disismltlon of tho men who
have worked so hard there is nothing
for me to say in their behulf other than
that we hope every citizen of the county
Is as gratified with the results as we
are and have been benefited as much.
I feel we are all more patriotic more
ready to help more satisfied at being
given the opportunity to do something
to win tho war."
Every effort was made to compile a
complete list of Carter county Liberty
loan bond subscribers for publication in
The Ardmoreito tills morning. To a
late hour last night the lists came Into
The Ardmoreite office and were put in
type as fast as possible. Subscriptions
came in so rapidly in the late afternoon
and last night that the clerical forces
at headquarters and at the banks were
unable to keep up with the demand. Ad
dltlonal names will be printed early this
week.
