DROP TWO FROM

JAMES CHANCELLOR AND
WALTER DAY PAID OFF
CITY CUTS PAY ROLL

The mayor and city commission
ers, finding they are not going to
have sufficient funds to meet the
expenses of the city for the ensu-
ing year, in making up the budget
were compelled to cut every depart
ment. The police department came
in for such a heavy cut that it be-
came necessary to reduce the force.
This was left for the chief to do
and today he laid off two men. as.
Chancellor and Walter Day. Uncle
Jim" Chancellor is the oldest po-
liceman in the city and one of the
best known peace officers in this
part OF the state. Walter Day is
considered a good officer and it was
only by reason of the necessity of
reducing the payroll that these men
were let out, the chief explained to-
day. This leaves, including the
chief, only ten men on the force,
the smallest number OF policemen
Ardmore has had for many years.

FRENCHMAN INSISTS ON
LEA CUE OF NATION" 5"
DEPUTY PROPOSES INTER
ALLIED COMMITTEE TO
STUDY PROBLEM

Paris, July l2.-Germany has ex-
cluded herself from the society of
nations and will remain outside as
long as she is embarrassed by mill
tarism; and the door will not be
opened until she has changed, says
Andre Lebey, who is writing a re-
port on league of nations for the
foreign affairs committee of the
chamber of deputies. In a state
ment to the Petit Parisien, Deputy
Lebey adds:
"The allies have organized at
Versailles an inter-allied war coun-
Gil. Why should thief not organize
there an inter-allied committee to
study the idea of league of ma
tionS.
This would be sort of a small
sized inter-allied peace parliament
to do for peace what the war council
seeks to do for war. The two actions
are parallel and Complementary.
This first international parlia-
ment would be the germ of league
of nations. Why not seize on the
occasion OF the anniversary of July
II to create it"
