Ball Park Disappears
When Coal Is Found

Shenandoah. - Sacrificed to the
great demand for coal, the only
recreation ground in the town is
about to pass out of existence. Two
huge steam shovels were put to
work stripping the diamond at the
Hill Top bail park, and it is ex-
pected that hundreds of tons OF
high grade coal will be mined from
the surface daily by means of strip
ping operations. The only other
available baseball ground is being
used as a timber bank and unless
some of the coal companies provide
a lot, baseball and other outdoor
sports are doomed. A rich vein OF
coal was discovered underlying the
ball grounds and in order that the
production be speeded up to the
limit and every pound of coal pos
sible obtained to relieve the
threatened shortage next winter
preparations were made to mine the
coal at once.

SENATORS TAKE
ISSUE ON RAISE
ON DRAFT LIMIT
Delay and Slothfulness Have
Held Nation Back in
Prosecuting War
By Associated Press

Washington, June 2S.-At the con-
clusion of brief discussion yesterday
Senator Fall said he expected his
EFFORT to extend the draft ages would
be futile. The general opinion of
senators seemed to be that the
amendment would be rejected.
Senators Reed, of Missouri, Dem
ocra1c member of the Senate mill
tary committee; Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, and Cummins, of Iowa in
urging upon the Senate the necessity
Tor immediate extension of the draft
ages, challenged the opinion of Sec
retary Baker and General March,
chief of staff. that the legislation is
not needed at this time. The Mis-
souri, senator. however. said he
would bow to the decision of the
war Department officials.
Huns Have Most Guns
senator Reed declared that al
though Germany eventually will be
defeated, it will be accomplished
only after the Allies have suffered
tremendous losses. He said the Cen
tral Powers hold the advantage in
heavy guns on every front.
Senator Reed asserted that Amer
lea has no heavy guns except those
that have been taken from the sup
ply of the Navy Department and
that it will require nearly two years
10 get a sufficient supply.
The United States will have to eX-
tend the draft age limits, declared
Senator Reed. The Central Powers,
he said, have a greater population
than the Entente countries and were
better prepared for war. Italy, he
said, was totally unprepared in

in its lines last fall cannot be dis

Italian front.
ireland has failed to do it's duty
In this war" he asserts, in support
OF is claim that the complete man.
power of the Allies could not be
mustered against the Germans.
Senator Reed said he was opposed
to preparing for the prosecution of
this war in "piecemeal fashion"
and warned against overcontidence.
Let us not deceive ourselves" he
declared, that Germany up to this
| day has been triumphant in this war.
No Time For Day Dreaming
1t is time to quit day dreaming"
Senator Reed asserted. Germany

Americans on the front, an advan-
tage in men, according to informa-
ton l get. 1 am very sure she has
an advantage in metal. l am also
very sure if the war is won it must
be by the United States putting forth
so great an effort that we have not
begun to dream of it,"
Russia, Senator Reed said, COL
lapsed over night, and he urged that
an army of sufficient size be sent TO
Europe with as little delay as pos
sible, so that if a similar collapse
should happen to any of the other
nations fighting Germany it would
be able to defend itself.
