FRENCH PEOPLE UNDER. GERMAN RULE SUFFER
 TERRIBLE OUTRAGES

The pitiful plight of the French civ il population which has been under German rule before the recent allied thrust is told in the report of Mime. Alexis Carrel, who has been working vith her husband, the noted American surgeon. in hospital in Compeigne. The report was made to the American lund lor French wounded and was giv- an cut by that organization. It fol- lows in part:
 We found ourselves in Noyon only twenty-four hours after the last Ger man had moved away. They had be- Fun their retreat on the night of the Il,-.. and the work was over on Mon- day, the 18th.
 All Women, Except
 "Noyon was a city of some 1000 or 5000 inhabitants, but when we got there we found at least 12,000 people in the town, as those from the neigh boring village had crowded in for shelter and for help. They were in the cellars, they were in the out houses, in fact, had crawled in every where they could, and then a tale of horrors was unfolded to us such as our ears had never heard before.
 Every woman between the ages of Ii and 30 had been carried off by the ;oches nine days before the retreat be- gan. The young women who were left in Noyon were all about to become mothers by German fathers.
 Thus all these poor people whom we found crowded in the cellars had hideous tales to tell. In the first place, none of the French civil popu- lation has had any meat of any kind for seventeen months.
 Seventeen Months Without Meat
 They have lived on blackbread and rice, and many had died in their strug- gle to keep alive, and the mortality amongst the children had been terri- ble. The bodies of those who had died had been kept for five days unburied in the midst Of the living.
 'In the orphan asylum, in a small room, the beds were so close together that they touched, and on these beds were children who had slept without mattresses. pillows or covering since the month of December, in their only clothes, unwashed, unkempt, and un- cared for No words can describe the filth of their condition. They were cov- cred with yermin and the beds were nothing but a little heap of filthy straw.
 French Wounded Uncared For.
 "The wounded French who were still in the hospital had not been cared for and were being slowly evacuated into our own hospital at oCmpeigne, which is twenty-three kilometers from Noy- on. It took us twelve hours to make plowed up.
 the journey as the roads were all
 The men who were brought in at midnight had been reduced to the last gasp. They seemed only skin and bones and they, too, were covered with vermin. The stench produced by their condition was so terrible that our nur- ses could hardly stand it. I tried to clean them and wore mu rubber sur geon's gloves. but even then the yer min crawled up my bare arms. making my work more than unbearable."

field tomorrow as won the pennant
last season. Cy Davis will do mound
duty and Abner Hippensteel will be
behind the plate. Old Man Biever,
of Tri-State fame, will do the hurling
for Halifax. Minnich will probably
catch.

COCKILL HERE;
HAS GOOD NEWS
Signs Jack Layden For Star
Outfielder; May Land First
Baseman Today

Manager Geo. Cockill slipped into
town yesterday. He has been on a
tour of the baseball circuits in search
oc new material. Just to prove that
he is some success, the first an
nouncement he made was the sign
ing of a new fielder
The stars name is Jack Layden,
sold last fall. and has been with the
Mobile. Ala. team. One Southern
League has blown up, and not caring
to take any chances of losing job,
Layden expressed Il desire to come
back to Harrisburg. Layden's ga
vorite garden is in centerfeld. He
also has another good habit, hitting
the pill at the right time. AS base
runner there were few who had any
thing on this boy.
Full of joyful News
Manager CoCkill was just fun of
icyful news, but could not tell it be-
cause of censorship on the infor-
nation in his possession. He has
lines on a first basenlan. There will
he some other changes in the line
up. as the local leader is determined
to have Il winning team. He said in
the way of explanation for lack of
better showinG:
Il know there are weak spots.
They will be fixed up. Weather con-
Gltions have been anything but right
to whip a ball team into shape. The
days the team played poorly there
was a free bale blowing all day.
1t made good playing impossible.
The nj bar fnuUDG SIlffara1 tOn | an,
still of the opinion that with a few
changes the team will get into a
winning stride and give the other
teams chase until the end of the
seson." After Manager Cockill has
received information regarding the
seN eral deals now on he will return
tc his home at Lewlsburg and from
there to Utica. where he will rejoin
the team next week.

GOOD SHOW IS

Tim Droney Puts 1t All Over
Al Murphy; Lively Semi
Windup

In the windup feature of one of
the best boxing bills Harrisburg has
had Tim Droney, of Lancaster, put 1t
all over AL Murphy. of Scranton. The
latter put up plucky battle, but was
outclassed and outweighed.
Tim Droney's tactics were those of
ring veteran and he had his Scran-
ton opponent on the floor. He lead in
every round. Both fighters showed
cleverness in taking and giving pun
ishment. The Lancaster lad made his
punches count.
Lively Semi Windup
A lively bout was the semi windup
between Tommy Higgins, of Scranton,
ana Pete Howell, of Philadelphia. Hig-
gins was the aggressor and had his
opponent almost out at the finish of
the eight rounds. The first round
was sparring exhibition. but from
the second on no better battle was
possible. each boy mixing it up. Hig-
gins had Howell down in the fifth.
Preliminary Bout
Hero Hunter had the best of Dave
Shank in the first preliminary event.
The exhibition was a farce, as neither
of the fighters showed any skill. The
second preliminary brought a knock
Out ioL CuleIy Iur1ey, OF Philadelphia,
Billy Waltz, of Lancaster, was his
opponent. Joe Daggert, of Philadel-
phla was scheduled to fight but was
prevented from coming by a Phila-
delphia matchmaker who is interest
ed in local club.
The attendance was small due to
the fact that there was a misunder-
standing regarding the dates. The
local club lost money on the show but
hope to make it up with the next
program.

ton: "I have volunteered for the
