Under Police Regulations.

Not only Warsaw city but the dis
trict of Warsaw and that of Radzymin
adjoining to the northeast are subject
to the police rules and regulations.
The branch departments of the praesi-
dunn include a bureau of communal af-
fairs of the district exclusive of War
saw district: a bread and -four depart
ment: a complaint department, where.
for instance, citizens lodge complaints
against bakers. a customs office: a
veterinary department., which has had
an enormous task in ridding the city
of mad dogs: a censorship bureau which
passes on all plays and hlins:<a pass
division which issues credentials to the
residents of the district; an employ
ment bureau. ana a division which as
sists the wives of former German resi-
dents of Warsaw who are interned in
Siberia and lsewhere.
For the first time in approximately
100 years the Poles are now permitted
to produce their native-and anti-Rus-
sian-plays. Warsaw today has six
theaters. including an opera house,
running fun blast Each is packed to
the doors night after night. partly with
German officers and soldiers, for the
most part with Poles.
BY all means the most popular pro-
duction is a play ~purporting to show
the crueltieS attending the domination
of Poland by the Russians. 1t is his
torically old. but never has been al
lowed before.
In the opera house some of the more
popular operas as well as IA number of
purely Polish productions are given.
There is a really excellent orchestra
and, especially, a number of first-rate
dancers. BY all odds the favorite opera
is Carmen" which Is given two and
sometimes three times a week.
The stage setting and stage manage
ment of each and every theatrical or
musical production seem to give evil
dence of Il very elemental and undeyeI-
oped taste.

Government Quickly Installed.

1t took the Germans just about one
week to install in the province of War
saw, the most important in all Poland.
a government that. for the smoothness
of it's operation. seems remarkable IN
der the circumstances.
Only a few days after the fall of
Warsaw it was announced that Gen.
Won Beseler had been appointed gov
ernor general. not only OF the city, but
of the district. comprising some seventy
square kilometers. Like Won Kissing
of Belgium. he is the supreme author
ity, with powers infinitely greater than
the emperor possesses in relation to
Germany. Under Won Beseler stand
Gen. Won EtZdorf as governor of the
city of Warsaw and military chief. and
his excellency Kries as administrative
chief in charge of all civilian matters.
Under them stands Police President Won
Glasenapp. former police president of
Cologne. who eXerts both military and
civil authority. the first under the di-
~rection of Won Etzdorf, the second I'M
der kries. Upon him falls the burden
of detail work. the practical admins
tration of the city and it's suburbs. His
first aid is Mayor Sahn. former mayor
of the city of Bochum. an expert in ad-
ministrative matters. In addition are,
in the police department. any number
of men VINO are experts in their partic-
ular lines and who head the various
departments.
The Germans found, on taking War
saw, a citizens committee of Poles
and Jews. headed by Prince Lubomir-
ski, into whose hands the Russians had
confided the welfare of the city. This
committee was allaying as best it could
the needs of the people in charitable
ways and wrestling with the food
problem.
The Germaps Immediately gave Off
cial recognition to the committee and
prepared to work hand in hand with
it. But one subcommittee, that in
charge of the coal problem. has been
disbanded. Prince Lubomirski occu-
pies a sort of dual position. He is.

LaJunta May Have Chautauqua

Owing to misunderstanding with the
manager of the Chautauqua it was quite
extensively circulated on the last day
that LaJunta had failed to secure the re-
aured number OF guarantors and would
have no chautauqua next year. Judge
Mcdaniel, however, informs us that he
had heart to heart talk with the man
ager late Thursday evening. and gave
his personal guarantee that he would
secure the necessary signatures to the
contract, and that document was confid-
ed to his care and keeping. He was
given week to secure the $50 guaran-
tors required.-LaJunta Tribune.

Farmers Coming to Town

Farmers are coming into town from
the dry farming districts looking for
work and as general thing thew find it.
Homesteaders who have not yet gotten
their land in the right condition to with
stand the long drought are in the worst
fix. Some of them have moved what
little they have in the way of livestock
off the place, locked up the household
goods and farm implements. and pulled
out, some for the towns and some for the
wet regions. Dry spells come in periods
Of about five years. and most of the
homesteaders will return next spring.

BASEBALL NOTES
In the Arkansas Valley League


The result of Sundays games places
Trinidad in the lead with Fort Lyon and
La Junta tied for second place and
Pueblo resting safely in the cellar. With
the new men recently added to the team
Fort Lyon looks to be the most danger
Gus club in the league and the fight for
first place will probably be between
them and La Junta.
Fort Lyon took both ends Of double
header from Pueblo on Sunday. John
jackson pitched the opening game and
allowed but one hit. the Fort winning |
to 2. The score of the second game
was a to with Young 10y doing the
slab work for the sailors.
Trinidad broke in on La Junta's win
ming streak by taking both Saturdays
and Sundays games. Stevens was
driven from the box on Sunday and
Billings who replaced him was hit hard,
the Eagles making 8 hits and winning
by the score of o to z.
Catcher Mcintosh, who has been play
ing on the Western Slope. has joined
the Fort Lyon team and will be valu-
able addition to that club as he is hard
hitter and a good receiver and has an
arm that will command respect from the
baserunners of the league.
Eddie Smith was in the Pueblo lineup
Sunday. but Fort Lyon has made him
an offer and he will probably be with
that team in the future.
George Maxwell played first base for
Fort Lyon on Sunday and his timely hit
ting featured in both games.

MARKET REPORT
Cattle Are Higher, Hogs and Sheep
Are Going Up

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. 9TH
Cattle closed last week 25 to 40 higher
than Monday. due to strong demand from
both killers and feeder buyers and re-
duced receipts. The good gain failed to
dislodge big run to-day, 10000 ar
irving. and prices are strong to 10 high
er. Pasture men realize that they must
depend on feeder buyers for competition
on a great many of their cattle, the same
not having gotten fat yet, and they are
waiting till the feeder demand becomes
more active. Top fed steers brot $40.
fair to good fed steers SO SO to $780,
Cow stuff sold steady. best natives S6.z5
to $3.50 grass COWS SIS SO to $3.50.
bulls $3.50 to $3.50. veals $3.50 to
Sll.
Hogs last week closed with a big ad-
vance, and the market is to 10 higher
to-day. Light hogs have rushed to the
front. topping the market today at 50 IS.
medium weights SO. 80. heavy hogs S9.z5,
bulk $3.50 to $3.50. Order buyers
have good orders for light weight hogs,
and local packers are also after them.
Receipts were 10000 today. 1000 more
than the early morning estimate. The
hog supply has way of overrunning the
estimate frequently. which suggests plen-
titude in the country. However. recent
competition has been so strong that
packers have temporarily abandoned
their efforts to work prices lower.
Lambs advanced SO to rs cents last
week, and sold strong to higher today,
receipts only 1000 head. Local killers
are in an extremity of need for supplies,
because of continued light runs. and one
packer had to fill his orders with feeding
lambs today. paying $3.50 for them
against a bid OF Se.25 and Se.55 from a
feeder buyer. Utah lambs brot 81 and
Sll.l5 today. light weights and S to
25 cents under the limit of the market
for choice lambs. no Arizonas here today,

 SHOWING
 HER HAND

BERNIE, April 6.-That Hol- land is showing her teeth to both the Allies and Teutonics is the opinion of leading neu- trals here.

This latter statement cannot be substantiated but has the marks of authenticity upon it, according to several members of the diplomatic corps of neu- tral countries.
