BRITAIN HOPES
j FOR MEET
ON ARMS,
Aerial Strength of France
Proving Thorn in Side
of England
By F. A. WRAY
International News Service
LONDON, Dee. 3. —With startling
r tales of developments in the French
air force bein£ whispered about,
'C Great Britain is hopeful that the
f disarmament movement, which is
;• under way in Geneva today will
* gain momentum until it actually
-.results in an agreement for reduc
' tion of land, air, and submarine
- forces.
Discussion on disarmament, which
£ the League of Nations committee
'is holding, will not lead to aboli
tion of any branch of warfare, it is
y generally admitted here, but there
-are hopes that at least reduction
. can be eventually agreed upon.
French air strength always has
been a thorn in the side of Great
Britain, and every now : and then
'there come rumors of great new
£ strength in . the French aviation
Z forces, which lead experts to point
■ out that France is but a few miles
£ distant from England and could
'• easily wage an annihilating war
fare on England from the air.
£ England’s aerial home defense to
' day is about 330 planes, equipped
’ for battle. ' •
; It is admitted that these do not
- Include some of the latest designs
‘ which are being used in Irak,
' where the air force is actively en-
’ 4 gaged in patrol . and police work.
: France, however, has no less /han
1,250 fighting planes, and probably
more, and the great majority of
these planes are in France ready
, for action.
Great Britain is expanding her
air force, but she cannot hope to
equal the French air strength for
Several years, and rather than
.widen her present' program she
hopes that Geneva will produce
. some sort of an aerial disarmament
* agreement.

Wife Deserter Is Taken Back
to Home Town for
•Trial
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.—Stamp
ing her feet on .the concrete floor
at City Hall station a pretty, twen
, ty-one-year-old girl tossed her head
and challenged detectives to sepa
rate her from a Hazleton, Pa., man
wanted there on charges of desertihg
his wife and three children.
“I love him and I’m going to
stick to him. I*ll move heaven and
earth!” cried the girl, Mildred
Griggs, of Scranton, when told that
Joseph Downing,- the man. would
have to go back to Hazleton to face
charges of deserting his family.
Downing’s romance with the girl,
who is tall and has rosy cheeks,
blue eyes and blonde hair, began
about two months ago, police said,
after he separated from his wife fol
lowing a quarrel, when Downing
went to Scranton and met the girl.
A month'ago Mildred and Down
ing were found in this city and he
was arrested on a warrant charging
him with desertion. He was taken
back to Hazleton and the charges
dropped, with a warning that he re
main away from the girl.
Later Downing left Scranton and
e. few days after Mildred disappeared
from her home. Police of this city
were asked to hunt for them.
The girl embraced Downing when
they were taken from cells and
brought out into the visitors’ corri
dor. “I’ll stick to you," she was
♦elling Downing as the detectives
Interfered to tell her that Downing
must go back to Hazleton. "But
what’s to become of me?” she asked.
“You’ll have to stay here, I guess,”
the detective said- ’
“I won’t. You can’t separate me
from him.” she replied, stamping
her feet. .
As the girl lives near Hazleton,
polios decided to allow her to be
taken with Downing to that place,
from where she will be sent home
to her parents.
FATHER BURKE SPEAKS
AT SACRED HEART CHURCH
The Catholic Church got its
charter from the words of Christ
and is the only church which
claims to teach with the certain- au
thority of God, declared the Rev
erend P'ather Burke last night
while participating in the Paulist
Fathers’ lectures at the Sacred
Heart Church.
Asserting that the Catholic
Church Is the only one that can
be traced back to the days of
/ Christ, and that there is but one
church of Jesus Christ, he said
that the Apostles were the only
ones authorized to carry on the
work of Chirst, and that they
taught that "Even if an angel
from heaven spoke differently from
themselves he should not be
heeded.
"There is but one church that
claims to speak as the Apostles
spoke,” he said, “and only one
church that claims to speak with
Divine authority. That church is
the Catholic Church."

WHEN this picture of his royal shyness, the
Prince of Wales, was published yesterday
(in connection with an announcement that a
two-page article about him would appear in
The Washington Herald next Sunday), it elicited
all kinds of comment in the smart alec set. One
perfectly nice woman was overheard to say: “If
I had a pair of parenthesises on me like what
the Prince has got, I’d be more careful of my
punctuation when photographers were around.”
Perhaps she was trying to register the idea
the Prince has “weak understanding,” dr
something.
NEVER and the less, and parenthesises, semi
colons, colons, commas, apostrophes, ex
clamation points, antepenults and such to the
contrary notwithstanding, this two-page article
about his royal (shin-ness, if you insist on it)
