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. .

England, transferred her affections to

Halifax to marry the captain.
Following the publicity, which has
been given the broken engagement.
Captain Kitchen has received many let

EX-GERMAN OFFICERS
SIGH FOR OLD DAYS
Under the Democratic Regime They
Have No Chance to Strut Around
as They Did in the Days
of the Kaiser.
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.

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.

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

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. Bos
