AIRPLANE LINE MVADEs WIDEST AFRICA

A French company has started
an aero line to link Cayenne, the
capital town of French Guyane,
with the gold fields of Maroni of
South Africa. The distance is
but 200 kilometers, but the coun-
try is covered with virgin for
ests, and the journey ordinarily
takes a week by land and sea,
whereas the airplanes have made
the trip in two hours. The town
of Maroni is a bagnio, where the
convicts are employed in the

"If The People Want A
Grand Jury They Can
Have IT. Champion

Judge Thomas w. Champion
remarked this morning that if the
people of Carter county wanted a
grand jury he would call one at
once, that he is just waiting for
them TO make up their minds
and that he would give them what
they wanted.
Whether a grand jury would

atical. | believe the same result
can be obtained through the
county attorney because when he
flies an Information against per-
son it virtually becomes an in
ictment, and all that a grand jury
can do is to return an indict-
ment," said the judge. However
il the people want a grand jury,
all they have to do is to let me
know and one will be drawn and
get down TO work a. once" he
concluded.
The above was occasioned when
the judge was asked today what
he would do about the matter Of
calling a grand jury which has
been the subject Of considerable
discussion for the past few days.

Asked to Help

The city Of Ardmore Is asked TO
care for 80 children Of the more than
100000 orphans who have been
brought together under the Near East
Relief Committee in Eastern Europe
and Western Asia.
Mrs. Lenorc c. Murlin, who repre-
sents the oklahoma state office, ar
rived in Ardmore yesterday to take
direction Of this appeal The chair
man for the city is G. p. Selvidge.
j. f. Kirbye OF the Nationa! Com
mltee. is also here to assist in the
campaign until Wednesday.
Mr.. Kirbye has been engaged in
the relief work of America since 1918
and last spring was sent on his third
mission to Europe to study conditions
and make report. He has just re-
turned from Russia, leaving there on
October l4th. Inasmuch as his time
is limited only a privileged few can
hear him. This winter the National
Near East Relief Committee will be
feeding thousands Of women and
children who must perish il food and
care from America are withheld.
"Ardmore's share Of so children at
$500 PEI month for the roxt twelve

of Ardmore do not want our Amcri-
cans over there to abandon those

pendent upon us entirely for food
and shelter. These children are Rus

Stand for X. X. X.

equivocally in favor of the Ku Klux

this organization is the community 5

He said he was not a member Of
the organization and spoke as an out
slider but one who had carefully fol-
lowed the alleged expose of the klan
as published in certain newspapers.
The more it was exposed the more
he believed in II. he said. When he
made this reference 10 the Khan the
| staid and dignified audience broke in
to applause, showing he was not alone
in his sentiments. The sermon was
on Disarmament in Ardmore.' II
was in part as follows:
Roosevelt believed that prepared
ness is the surest guaranty for peace,
but history shows that preparedness
leads to war In his recent admirable
address before the peace conference
President Harding says that war has
continually grown in cruelty and de-
struction. Our military program for
1922 is to cost 925 millions for the
army and 655 millions for the navy
a total OF ljS millions. an unthink
able sum.
I'm 1920, out Of every dollar spent
for taxes, 90 cents went for wars
past or present. The national debts OF
the world in 1913 was 4S billions. 1t
is now $50 billions. For two years in
the last war this country alone spent
more than a million dollars an hour
The war rost the world the lives OF
ten million young men. Disarmament
and peace must come or the worlt
will be bankrupt
Disarmament Should Begin Here
But believe disarmament should
begin in Ardmorc. y well informed

vention hall the night OF the recent
indignation meeting would have meas

that on any big day the guns between

the need for personal protection of this
