As Reprisal for Hun's
Torch Work In France
Washington Oct. 2. An ultimat-
um to Germany regarding the ruth-
less destruction of cities and pri-
vate property in northern France
and- Belgium is heing urged on the
ullies and the United States and is
under consideration.
The burning of Cambrai- and St.
Quentin and the devastation of one
of the most populous regions of
Europe as the Germans retreat has
aroused great indignation and it was
6aid in diplomatic circles today that
Germany would be warned soon
that if she allows the work of de-
struction to continue severe re-
prisal will follow.
It is suggested that the cities of

ing on a charge of having possession
of 116 quarts o) whisky ana was

to the county court.
And connected therewith is a story.
There is a possibility of a man be-
ing guilty without knowing it. But
lAdanis did not proclaim to the court
his innocence introduced no evi-
dence on his own behalf which
might have cleared all the clouds
from around the situation and shown
him to be innocent.
I.. L. Segler chief of police had
a tin that a ouantitv of whiskv was
on the way to Ardmore.' He. re
mained up all of Monday night on
the lookout for it. lie was up all
last niehl. as was Sheriff Garretti
and lim Carter deputy sheriff.
These officers working with Police
men Dyer Ford and Johnston put
in some busy hours.
Sheriff Garrett and lim Garten
were on one road and Chief .Segler
and his men on another looking for
a "booze car." A car passed the
chief and his men and as they were
readv to turn and tro alter it they dis
covered they had no gasoline and
had to walk and trail -the car the
best thev could.
Thev followed it to the lot in the
rear of the home of George Adam
in the second ward. The tracks
showed a car had entered and left
the vard. Thev went alter a search
warrant and secured it. Returning
hefore the sheriff and liin Carter
had returned from watching the oth
er road thev called Adams-up and
lie told them to help themselves. 1
a tool house belonging to Adams m
the vard of his home they tound lit
(mart of whiskv in gunny sacks.
The buildinu-'which Adams said
was a tool house and to which
driver carried the kev was entered
and there the whiskv was found.
The door was fastened with a pad
lock and the lock had not been dis
turbed but one link in the chain in
which the nadlock was inserted had
been filed in two and the mark
showed that it had recently been
done.
With the automobile tracks lead
inr into and out of the vard and th
filing of Idle chain it indicated H
the 'officers that Adams might not
have known i hat ihe whisky ha
been placed there but be did not say
so on the trial.
Will i the exception ot 24 pints
which Jim O'arler. deputy sheriff got
out of an automobile on Fast Main
street and nine or ten quarts taken
bv the police a week or two ago
this is the only appreciable amount
of whisky captured in Ardmore to
two or three months.
It is not known where this whisky
came from. It is believed by the of
ficers that the source of supply for
the bootleggers now is either at
Slayton Ivjew Mexico or Monroe
La. Jointists operating about Dun
can and other towns in Stevens
county are said to be patronizing
the New Mexico dealers while those
in the eastern part of the state are
going to Monroe La.

told that for every French and Bel-

reason a German city equally im

Sinctf reprisals by bombardment

it is felt here that a similar warn-

TWENTY AMERICANS IN
HOSPITAL ARE KILLED
BY ENEMY SHELL
With the American Army North-
west of Verdun Nov. 2. (By The
Associated Press) Twenty patients
many of them already suffering from
wounds received in battle were
killed when a German shell struck an
American hospital several nights
ago. The hospital was only a short
distance behind the fighting line.
It is possible that it was a stray
shell but it appears probable that
a deliberate attempt was made to at-
tack the hospital.

THOUGHT MAN WAS CRAZY.
"1 have suffered from stomach
and liver trouble for years; the last
two years people have been calling
Sue crazy. The doctors could not
do anything for me. The awful
bloating of gas seemed to press
against my brain and 1 could not
think clearly. Three months ago
a friend advised taking Mayr's Won-
derful Remedy and it has worked
wonder's in my case. All my bloating
and suftcrmsr is irone and 1 leel as
though newly born." It is a simple
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus trout the in-

ber. CHINA IMPRESSED BY
AMERICAN VICTORIES
Peking. Oct. 2. China has been
impressed by the success of l ietier.il
Foeh's counter offensive and by the
American successes on the ye .torn
front. Hitherto the Chinese have
been very much overawed by Ger-
many which most of them consider-
ed invincible. Now a change has
taken place which "is reflected in
the Peking press. The Minhsinpao
urges the Central Powers to make
peace with the allies and says the
defeats of the Austrian and Ger-
man armies in Italy and France
clearly show that a coinplete mili-
tary victory over the entente is im-
possible especially now that the
young American army has proved
itself capable of attacking the ex-
perienced German troops with vic-
tory. Previous to this Franco-American
victory in Fiance the majority of
the Chinese people especially Chi-
nese military officers most of whom
bad been trained in Germany and
Japan or educated in China under
German and Japanese military in-
structors expressed great doubt as
to the ability of the "inexperienced
American" to combat successfully
the Germans on the western front.
Now the Franco-American vic-
tory has shown the intelligent class
of Chinese what the Anierican arniv
can do. This raises the prestige of
the Americans in the Far Fast as a
military people.
