friends feel he will be sure to get
this county.
Mr.. Harris was cordially receiv-
ed. and his illusions to loyalty to
the administration we're warmly APP
plauded. Contrary to certain reports
which have been circulated, North
Georgia citizens are loyal to the
government, and the vast majority
o. them will only support loyal can
didates.
Mr.. Harris in discussing Senator
Eardwick's record, spoke of the
great difficulty the friends of Geor-
gia have had in getting nitrates for
their crops.
"And yet" he said, Senator Hard
wick strongly opposed the nitrate
bill which President Wilson urged
and which was afterwards passed
and signed. This law means not only
that the government will have all
the nitrates it needs for the prose-
:cution of the war, but that there
will be an abundance for use as a
fertilizer. Senator Hardwick declar-
ed in opposition that the farmers
were always asking for too much"
Mr.. Harris also criticised Senator
Hardwick for opposing the federal
reserve banking act which, he said,
prevented great panic following
the war, and in the end saved the
cotton and other crops.

ENGLISH AND THE WAR

the Revolutionary War was an earlier
phase of the war of today, 1t was
a war of an Englishman, George Wash

the familiar protests that great En-
glishmen like Chatham and Burke
made against that war; but anyone,
it is fitting. perhaps, that all should

OKLAHOMA COMMISSIONER
BRINGS MESSAGE FROM
BOYS "OVER THERE"

X Glenn Condor, Oklahoma news
: paper man. who recently returned
from the western front and has a
Z stirring message from the boys
lover there" will speak at Conven-
ton Hall at 9:50 tonight. The
hour of the meeting was so liked
that those who attend evening wor-
ship at the churches may have the
opportunity OF hearing MT. Condor.
:. Everywhere Mr.. Condor has
spoken he has made wonderful
impression. His first hand stories
of the western front are declared
to be the most gripping OF all the
messages that have come back from
battle SCARED France.
Condor In Brief.
The following thumbnail sketch
of Mr.. Condor best describes the
man and his message:
Age, 26. ,
Raised in Oklahoma City; sold
newspapers there during Spanish
American war.
Elected to Oklahoma legislature
in 1916, at age of "a, from Tulsa
county; still member of that body.
State chairman of the -Four
Minute Men in Oklahoma, and
employe of the committee on pub
lie information, Washington. ID. L.
Named by Governor Williams in
November, 1917, as special commits
sioner from Oklahoma to the Euro
pean battle fronts sailed early in
December on troopship chased by
subs in Irish sea and two ships in
convoy sunk; also chased coming
back.
Visited England, Scotland Ire
land and France; went through five
air raids in London and one in
Paris: rode in battle tank on Brit
ish front; flew over German lines
ten miles in aeroplane; visited five
different fronts; was in front line
on numerous OCCASIONS; fired ma
chine guns at Germans from Amer
lean line; organized concerts and
spoke in hospitals, (l0O), in Eng
land and France. Saw Belgium and
French girls of Is and 10, with
German crosses branded on their
bosoms, signifying they were to be
come mothers; tiny babies with
arms and hands chopped off. and
faces hideously SCARED by Huns.
Talked with officer who was only
one of five wounded Americans out
in No Mans Land to escape. The
officer feigned death but Germans
saw other Americans still lived and
cut their throats. He has a world
of other first hand, eye witness war
stories to tell, and does it wonder
fully well.
Condor is a natural orator. He
has splendid, straightforward
shoulder delivery and is equipped
with vital facts and gives them.

JAPANESE AND CHINESE
WILL BALK TEUTON
TWO NATIONS WILL RUN
HUN OUT OF THE
FAR EAST.

Washington, May lS,-lnforma-
ton reached the state department
today OF the conclusion of an agree
ment between Japan and China for
the protection of their common in
terests in the Far East against Ger
man aggression. Although giving
few details, the reports to the de
partment were said to make it clear
that the agreement was only for the
period of the war and was solely
for protective purposes.
A joint defensive to counteract
German aggression in Siberia is
known to be contemplated, but in
formation was lacking as to whether
this would involve movement in
force into Siberia by Japanese and
Chinese troops. AS to the neces-
sity for such action the state de
partment is not informed. but it is
assumed that because of their prox-
unity to Siberia, Japan and China,
with a much keener interest in that
country than other peoples, doubt
less will be interested to know the
extent of German influence there
and the necessity of curbing it with
military force.
Referring to the movement as a
purely defensive nature, the state
department does not believe it di-
rectly concerns the United States
and consequently it involves no
change in the policy of the depart
ment in the treatment OF the Far
Eastern question. That policy, it is
said, properly might be subjected to
revision if, in the future, Japan and
China should find it necessary o.
advisable to call upon the United
States or the entente allies for mill
tary or other substantial assistance
in carrying out their plans.
Practical difficulty in the combina-
tion of Japanese and Chinese inter
ests is suggested in diplomatic cir
cles here through the disaifection in
southern China. Efforts are now be
ing made, backed by powerful influ-
ences in and out of China, to induce
these leaders to sink their personal
aspirations so that the Chinese re-
public can be brought together as a
unit to join with Japan in maintain
ing peace in the Far East and in
destroying an pernicious German
influence.

Every one knows OF Judge Ben
B. Lindsey, of Denver. tie has
both a national and an international
reputation. He has made Two trips
TO Europe since the great world
war started. At first he was 4 pacli-
lcist. but now since our country Is
in the war no one is more ardent
supporter OF the government war
policy.
Judge Lindsey is greatly interest
ed in airship development and Is a
stockholder in the Horncspced Pro-
peling Company, which owns the
Hornespeed Flyer and other valu-
able inventions. He has taken a
great interest in the progress which
Mr.. Horne has made and speaks
with great confidence of MIR. Horne
and his work.
Speaking of Mr.. Horne, Judge
Lindsey says: "Mr. Horne has re
sided here for a number OF years
and is a personal friend of mine. lie
is a mechanic and an inventor. For
the last two years he mas devoted
himself to experimenting with what
he calls a safe and practical aero
plane. The novelty about Mr.
Horne's invention is an entirely new
kind of propeller as applied to ar
aeroplane that makes vertical
ascension, solves the problem OF
equilibrium and otherwise makes
possible what to some has seemed
impossible. Speaking further OF

Mr.. Horne. Judge Lindsey says:
He has with him a number of en-
gineers who have faith enough in
his plans to invest in it. Some OF
these men have talked to per-
sonally and they assure me that they
have unbounded faith in the idea
and share the confidence of Mr..
Horne"
Judge Lindsey thinks SO we'll OF
the Hornespeed Filler after having
Investigated it for himself, that he
has become one of the stockholders
of the company. In addition to
Judge Lindsey, Mr., Horne has sew
eral other men of prominence III
Denver who are interested with him.
All these men are going to be IN
terested in Ardmore now that Mr..
Horne is one OF us.
1t will be a great boost for Ard
more to have such men as Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of Denver and his
friends interested in company
here. Ardmore with its many in
dustrials is rapidly becoming known
in all parts OF our country as one
of the coming cities of the great
Southwest.

News OF the explosions flew from
borough to borough and as if one
impulse thought was had of the Red

was thrown on the burning derricks
to extinguish the flames.
