THE BARHK DAILY TIMES,' BAKKK,' . VT., MONDAY, JULY 26, 1920. BARRE A. A. HAD ? GAME SAFE Queen City Cotton Men ; Succeeded in Tallying J ' Once in the Ninth , AFTER LOCALS HAD ; SCORED FOUR TIMES Beaton Pitched a Good Game, Although In clined to Wildness Undismayed by th widespread fame cf their rivals, the Barre A. A. on Sat urday took the Queen City Cotton team into camp by a score of four to one- at Intercity park. Never, after Pedum crossed the plate following Davidson's single, was the outcome at 11 in doubt. Clean playing and hit coming when they were needed fea tured the winner's game. i The diamond was in poor condition, due to the fact that the ruts left by the recent carnival had not been en tirely obliterated, and so caused sev eral errors to be chalked up against the players of both sides, which, under ordinary conditions, would have been clean plays. v Queen City lost an opportunity to tie the score in the third inning, wheji they advanced A. Donie to third, but held him there. Instead of letting him score when B. Pender's grounder gave him the . opportunity. This was the only time, until the ninth inning, that the visitors were dangerous. Then Richie made home from first when Bot tiggi threw wide to catch him at the plate. Beaton, while inclined to wild nets, clearly showed his superiority over his opponent, keeping the hits well scattered, and fanning 10 men, as compared to the four fanned by Green. The scoring for Barre started in the third inning Fedduzxi reached second when J. Donie misjudged his fly. Ni cora grounded out, Green to Pallus. Davidson slashed a beauty over sec ond, scoring Peduzai, but was left stranded there when Comolli flied out to Cota and Bottiggi grounded to sec ond. There was no further scoring until the seventh, when the freak play of the game let in three more runs, set tling the game beyond any doubt. Cal derara, first up, fanned. Wilson dumped one to short center and was safe at first. Beaton followed with a double in the same territory, sending Wilson to third. Then Teduzzi lifted a little fly( which dropped directly on the foul line a short distance beyond third. The Queen City fielder refused to grant that it was fair, although the catcher declared it to be, and the batter crossed the plate before the ball was picked up. For a considerable time it looked aj though the old ball game was bust ed up right there. - The Burlington players left the field and the spectat ors ftrooped on. Not until after 10 minutes had passed did they accept the decision and resume the game. Immediately ,the bases were filled again. Nicora was passed, but was forced at second by Davidson, Rickie at short, making the play unassisted. Comolli singled over third base, ad vancing Davidson, and Bottiggi was safe when the first baseman dropped an easy throw. Wright, still dizzy from the wallop he had received in his first time at bat, was unable to connect with the apple and the scoring, as far AT THIS SEASON LOSS OF APPETITE Is very common. In many cases it is due to impure blood which cannot give the .digestive .. organs the stimulus necessary for the proper performance of their functions. Thousands know by experience that Hood's Sarsaparilla restores appetite and would advise you to give it a trial this season. It originated in the suc cessful prescription of a famous physician- Get it to-day. " Take Hoods Pills if you happen to need a laxative they don't gripe. Adv.' ' as Barre was concerned, wa at an end. Queen City made their only score in the ninth. Green was out, Calderara to Wright. Bennette hot one through short, and followed it by a clean steal on the next ball pitched. The same at tempt, to purloin the sack at the hot corner, though, met with" retirement; Comolli to Davidson. Richie was safe at first, when his grounder took a mean hop past Calderara, and he scored when Cot a singled to deep center and Bottiggi threw wild to the plate to catch him. J. Donie, last man up, struck out, leaving Cola perched on second. . : y Barre would have scored, in the sec ond inning, but for quick work on the part of their opponents. The bases had been filled by a double,, a man hit by a ball, and an error( and there was one out. Beaton smashed a liner to the pitcher, who threw to the catcher, forcing out the man from third, the catcher relayed it to first in time to catch the batter, retiring the side at the same time. .

Berlin, July 26. -No one in Germany sighs more frequently for "the good old days' of the kaiser than the for mer army officer. Forced off the gov ernment payroll by the reduction of the army, untrained for work other than soldiering, and so generally dis liked by the population that he has difficulty in finding any kind of em ployment, the officer's lot in democratic Germany is a hard me. His pre-war world, in which he strutted about as the privileged pet of his emperor, has been utterly destroyed. Many have been reduced to extreme financial straits. The middle-aged offi cer gets a pension of 3,800 marks a year, but that is only about a fifth of the amount required to maintain a family. So urgent is their need that a movement has been set on foot to form an ex-officers' association for the pur pose of inducing the government to provide them with land and subsidies. , A former officer, dolefully discussing with the correspondent the plight of himself and his fellows, remarked that the expression once cutTent in the L'nited States, ""There's no good Indian but a dead Indian," applied precisely nowadays to the German public's atti tude toward the officer class. Private soldiers bear out this state ment. "At the beginning of the war," one said, "the troops were fond of their officers, who ate the same food, carried their own packs, and shared the hard ships of the men. But most of the reg ular officers were quickly killed off, and those left were sent away from the lines for staff and other duties. "Their places were taken by re serves, who were an entirely different lot. They had to have upecial kitchens and milk and plenty of wine. They refused to march with the troops, al ways riding in automobiles, and mak ing the men carry their packs. They were bullies and tryanls, and the men grew to hate them. The civilian popu lation felt the same way. I was in Bel gium when the armistice was sipied and, when we withdrew to the Rhine land, the people there were willing enough to provide lodgings for us pri vates, but they refused to have officers in their home. Those fellows now are only getting what's coming to them." In a number of cases ex -officers have found themselves inadvertently apply ing for work to the very privates they once commanded. These former sol diers, business men and shopkeepers, take keen delight, it is said, in turning down their old superiors. Many of the young ex-officers are taking up engi neering and other technical lines, start ing at the bottom of the ladder as manual workers in overalls. After the first revolution, it was a risky thing for an officer to appear on the streets in uniform. They were em boldened by the Kapp coup last March and, since then, have been showing themselves In increasing numbers, es pecially student reserve officers, ho are easily .JenOnd by their pais face lahed with freh sword cut re ceived in duel.

BOLSHEVIKI FEAR A TRICK Will Ask That Poles, Dis arm Immediately as. . First Stipulation MBMaWaaawaaaaaasBw LEST ALLIED TROOPS COME TO THEIR JdD Soviets Ask Where the Armistice Negotiations Can Be Carried On Vienna, July 24 (By the A. P.) It is reported in apparently reliable quar ters here that the first stipulation the Bolshevikl will require of the Poles before entering into peace negotiations will be that the Poles disarm com pletely, so that the negotiations might not be used to gain time or to await the arrival of French or British re inforcements. A wireless message from the Soviet command to General Pilsudski, presi dent of Poland and head of the Polish army, intercepted here, asks the name of the sector where Soviet representa tives may meet the Pole to arrange armistice preliminaries. FRENCH HANGING AGITATORS IN AD AN A City Ha Been in a State of Siege Since July 4. Constantinople, July 24 (By the A. P.) Since July 4 Adana, in the aouth east part of Asia Minor, has been in a state of siege. The French have brought tanks into play and hanged many agitators publicly in an effort to restore order. Railway communication has now been re-established between Adana and Meresina, about forty miles south of Adana. There are rumor in Constantinople that the Turks are directing a big movement against Adana. The Coal Settlement The settlement for the present of the coal question must be a great re lief to the allies, who can have had no relish for the prospect of invading Ger many at a time when popular unrest there is so great and when the soviet have. just won a decisive victory in eastern Europe. In the final terms it is made clear that the arrangement is merely a modus Vivendi to avert the coal famine with which Europe ia threatened. By October 15 Germany ia to deliver 6,000,000 tons of coal, which will be credited to the indemnity, and to stimulate production a fair arrange ment is made in regard to price which will give Germany $9,000,000 for the purchase of food. The Germans also escape the wholly indefensible demand that they sign a clause permitting the deeper occupa tion of German territory in case they fail to deliver the stipulated 6,000,0(K) tons of coal. Such a demand Is in defensible because it is in contraven tion of the treaty of Versailles, which precisely defines the limits of occupa tion. A similar demand was put for ward by the allies last winter just as the exchange of ratifications was to take place, and the German peaca dele gation refused, to accept this change in the treaty. In the present case they hsve shown equal firmness, and were able to show that the preamble of the protocol did not state the truth in de clarmg this decision to have been tak en in common accord by the German and entente delegation. The offending clause was therefore dropped below the signature whkh means that the allies maintain the threat of invasion but that h has lo more legal sanction than it had be fore. No extorted agreement, indeed, could giie a legal sanction that would be worth much; if the allies in the fu ture elect to occupy German territory it will be a hostile act, to be resUted or not according to the ability of Ger many to offer resistance-. It should rot be forgotten that the treaty of Ver sailles bind thle allies as well as Ger many, and that the present statas is one of peace. Springfield Republican. Accomplished.

Headaches From Slight Colds "Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablet" tUeve the Headacb by Curing the Coll TEN STATES MAY LOSE REPRESENTATION In National House Unless the Member ship of That Organization is In creased to at least 300. Washington," D. C, July 20. Unless the membership of the House is in creased from 435 to at least 600 to meet the increased population shown by the 1920 census, 10 states will lose one or more representatives, according to Representative Siegel of New York, chairman 6f the census committee, which will frame the new apportion ment bill. These state are: Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which will lose two congressmen each; and Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia, which will lose one congressman each. Mrs. Kegel explain thai if the House membership ia retained at its present figura, it will be necessary to increase the population basis in each congressional district beyond the 211, 000 or major portion thereof now fixed. If this is done, he says, the 10 states named will lose one or more of the present districts because their popula tions have not increased in proportion to those of other states. On the basis of the estimated popu lation of 106,000,000 for the whole country in 1020, an increase of approxi mately 14,000,000 in 10 years, Mr. Sieg el says, 65 or 68 new seats in the House must be created if the 10 tates are to retain their present numerical representation. While precedent war rants the increase, Mr. Siegel declares there is strong opposition to it on the part of some of the present representa tives, while others favor reduction to as few as 300 members. Mr. Siegel expects the work of fram ing the new apportionment bill in ac cord with the new population to begin with the reconvening of 'Congress in December and he anticipates that the measure will be passed early in 1921. Every decade since 1790, with the single exception of 1840, the House membership ha been enlarged to keep pace with the growing population. Now the House floor is crowded when all members are present; seats nearly fill the chamber; the old individual desks have been discarded and an increase in membership probably will have to be solved by narrowing the width of the seats. " Ten years ago the House member ship increased from 391 to 435 on the basis of a population of 91,92,286 and the only exception to uch a procedure occurred in 1840 when 10 congressmen were knocked out by the apportion ment, the membership being fixed at 232, after having been 242 for 10 years.: The last apportionment kept intact the numerical strength of all state delegations besides providing for cer tain increase, but even then several congressional districts fell short of the maximum basis of 211,000 population. AMERICAN MEDICAL CENTER U Being Established in Constantinople Hospital Started. Constantinople, July 26. Americans in Constantinople have established a hospital, which is designed eventually to be the nucleus of an important American medical center in the near east.

New York, July 26. Ouija boards by the score have volunteered to solve the mysterious murder of Joseph Bowen Elwell, turfman, card expert and "Don Juan." Since the body of the gambler was found in his handsome residence here last month, with a bullet through the forehead, alleged clues, motives and revelations of the murderer himself have 'been gathered from ethereal planes by the'thousands and dumped upon an admittedly bewildered staff of th district attorney's office. All of these occult communications are not discarded. While disclaiming any faith in ouijas ability as a crime investigator, the district attorney nev ertheless admits that he has assigned a man to th special duty of reading occult contributions and to submit to him personally any conveying appa rently useful information. An anony mous communication purporting to be an occult revelation may contain a val uable clue, Mr. Swann believes, his the ory, being that the criminal might us this method of informing on a con federate. Anonymous' communicants purport to reveal prelude, plot and climax of the crime. Until the murderer is apprehended, both the police and district attorney's staff say they expect no aurcease from the persistent profligacy of occult as sistance now being forced on them.

A Surrender of Burleson's. Postmaster General Burleson has been driven from a position that was entirely indefensible. He has been forced to recognize the fact that men do not become incapacitated for useful work in accordance with any cast-iron rule of law. When the act providing for the retirement of government em ployees was passed, Congress, after fix ing the retirement age, wisely inserted a provision that the civil service com? mission, upon certification of the prop er departmental authorities, should havj authority to postpone retirement in the case of men anxious to serve longer and capable of doing o. This was not only an act of justice to faith ful employees but it was also clearly the course of common sense with re gard to efficiency in the conduct of the government's business. But the postmaster general, with his accustomed perversity, promptly an nounced that he did not agre with this provision of the law. He pictured it as opening the way to th retention of men who were tottering under the weight of years. Therefore, Mr. Burle son declared that he would have none of it. The protest was prompt and vigorous. The idea that every man Jn the service must be retired at the age of sixty-five years, regardless of his fitness for his job and his desire to hold it, was so palpably absurd that the postmaster general could not suc cessfully defend the stand he had tak en. Now he has modified his order. The door is open for the retention of valued employees who want to sen. Mr. Burleson is willing that they should stay two years longer. And if, in the case of some of these men, it is thought desirable to secure the necei- wu-y authority to keep them in the service after two years have passed, it ia safe to say that Mr. Burleson will not be in a position to interfere.
