SHOWING MADE BY ATH-
LEIES IN TWO MEETS.

part Of this month. Two afternoons

The first will be Friday. April %,
and the meet will be concluded on the
following Monday. April %.
Keen competition is anticipated
among the individuals as we'll as the
four competing classes. AS has been
the custom for the past few years,
the winning class has had the distinc-
ion of holding the silver trophy, Of
fered by Scalln Bros, until the fol-
lowing year, and in case one class
holds the high score for three sue
cessive years, the cup is the property.
There are also three medals offered
by Scallin Bros. to the three highest
individual point winners, gold. sill
yer and bronze. The odds against
the senior class seem to be few this
year, unless the IN" men are barred
from the meet and in that case the
juniors will probably be the strong
est c%ontenders for the loving cup.

ALLIES HAVE HANGED
 WOMEN AS SPIES Germany Proves That Julia $. War terghen Was Executed by Bel
 gian Soldiers.

Berlin, Dec. 3-The Overseas News Agency says: The German govern ment has published photographic re- productions of documents having to do with the execution of Julia Sun Wartergnen, in Antwerp on August s 1914, by Belgian soldiers. This proves that the Belgians in their own coun- try considered it natural thing to shoot women convicted as spies.
 This woman, whose execution was reported last month by the Overseas News Agency, was married. She was convicted by Belgian court-martial, whose findings were approved by the Belgian war minister. He signed the report and ordered that it be posted in Antwerp.
 'These documents, now in posses sion of the German government, and the fact that the French have court martialed and shot women spies dur ing the war, show how much weight should be attached to the expressions of indignation in England and France at the execution of the English nurse, Miss Edith Cavell.'
