Austrioos Plead Real Peace Move.

Stockholm. Jan 20 Sundayl.-Reports
/ Of strikes and other demonstrations in
Austria which the Austrian government
has permitted to be telegraphed abroad
acquire new significance when read in
connection with the Vienna Arbeiter
/ Zeitung's report of five social meetings
held in Vienna last Sunday.
The meetings which were attended
/ by vast numbers Of persons protested
| against "robbing the Austrian people Of
al influence in the peace negotiations
| by continually postponing the meetings
Of the chamber of deputies and the
delegates and by suppressing all criti-
cism in the press of Germany's and
Austrias foreign policy"
The meetings demanded that the
peace negotiations at Brest Litovsk be
conducted in a friendly spirit, that the
government reject all efforts toward
open or veied annexations and that II
reject the demand that Russia's border
nations right Of self-determinaton be
made inusory and also reject the desire
to annex portions of these lands against
the will Of the inhabitants"
The socialists also demanded that the
| people of Poland, Lithuania and Cour-
land be permitted to vote freely on the
question Of the form OF their state and
| their allegiance.
A resolution adopted by the meetings
| further declared that the socialists re-
gard the peace program Of Premier
Lloyd George and President Wilson as
a sign that even the enemy nations can
be forced by the laboring classes to
modify their imperialstic aims, The
resolution in conclusion protested
against the systematic misreprcsenta-
ton Of these utterances in the entire
bourgeoise presse and we call on the
governments of the central powers to
consider them as an opportunity to or
| fer to all the enemy governments a
democratic peace without annexations
or indemnites"

the six machines in the higher group
were firing and one of their bullets
went through the machine within
half inch of Putnam's foot. His mo-
tor was now out of commission and
he was looking for two disasters at
once-a fall of 1000 yards and the
final bullet. Again the Germans
abandoned just as they were about
to get him and he managed to fall
just softly enough to break nothing
but wood"
t he great fight that made Put
nam famous in France was over the
battlefield of Rheims on June 5. In
half hour combat he shot down
five of an enemy squadron Of 10 al
batrosses. 1t was close and difficult
work, for the Germans maneuyered
skillfully and closed in on him until
he could see pilots plainly in their
seats as their machines passed un,
der him. He waved his hand to one
OF them and the German returned
the salute in the thick Of the fight.
All putnam says about it is that he
kept out of range as best he could
and watched closely every chance to
hre. He finally got into good po-
sition and the German machines be-
gan to fall. Five of them crashed
before the fight was over.
June IA Putnam got three out of
SIX Fokkers and the next day shot
down one Of two German observing
planes. He was about to put out
OF this on account of jammed guns,
when one of his adversaries pulled
up sharp angle, fired 10 shots,
turned over and fell 200 yards; then
the machine broke in the air and
crashed. Since then Putnam has
accounted for an observation bal
loon and, June 80, another enemy
plane.

2 Whites and 219
Negroes Lynched
Since War Began
Number Includes IT'S
Blacks Slain in East St.
Louis Riots

Since the United States entered the
war 219 negro men, women and chill
dren and two white men have been
made victims of lynch law, the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People points out in an open
letter sent yesterday to Thomas w.
Gregory, Attorney General of the
United States The letter commends
the Attorney General for a speech he
made before the executive committee
of the Bar Association, in which he
urged an educational campaign against
mob atrocities.
The ASSOCIATION states that an investi-
cation of the files of daily papers dis
iynchers have been punished Since
1885, it is said, there have occurred be-
tween 5000 and 1000 lynchings.
"Since the United States entered the
war;" the letter continues, "our infor
nation is that 219 negro men, women
and children have been killed and
lynched. in addition to two white men,
one being Robert Prayer. Four negroes
were ynched in Alabama, two in Arkan-
sas, two in South Carolina, five in Ten
nessee, nine in Texas, two in Virginia,
s
ming. In addition to these cases of
lynching per Sc, ITS men, women and
children were tortured, burned and
killed at East St. Louis in July, 1917,
and three negroes were killed by a mob
in Chester. Penn. in September, 1917.
In some of these cases the lynchings
were particularly atrccious. In Ten
nessee, for example, three men were
burned at the stake, the burnings being
accompanied by savage torturing In
one case, which occurred two weeks
ago, the body of the victim was burned
at the stake after having been lynched
by hanging.
"In the case of the negroes lynched
no question of loyalty has been raised
in any case.
"The association regards as signifi-
cant the pronouncement which you
made as Attorney General. We most
/ respectfully suggest the expedicncy of
making a second announcement, or
better still it would be if this pro-
nouncement were made in the name of
the Presid ident of the United States.

Scores Two Runs in Last Few
Minutes of Play-Wins
Whole Series

Newark pulled a sensational ninth
aiming rally yesterday and defeated
Syracuse, to S, making C cleanup of
the entire series. The Bears won the
game after two were out in the ninth
and the fans had started for the exits.
They hesitated a minute when Ed Holly
stung the ball to centre after two pinch
hItters had been retired. Holly took
big lead off first base, and when
Gathers hit "Texas Lacquer" to CEN
tre, Holly sprinted all the way home
with the tieing run. Welsh, in centre,
ran his legs off in an attempt to make
the catch, but did not get to it.
Gathers took second on the throw-in
to the plate and scored the winning
run when Frank Bruggy, the pride of
Elizabeth, smashed a hit to deep right
field. 1t was great climax to game
that looked to be lost, and if the same
setting could have been staged by the
Giants at the Polo Grounds the noise
would have shaken Harlem.
Bob Heck. who pitched for Syracuse,
eight innings, but in the fatal ninth
the Bears punched three hits, and it
sure did bring results. Heck was given
poor support in the early innings, the
intielders making four errors, while
Eckstein loafed going after one in the
oltfeld, which allowed Newark run
ncr to score.
Batter Rommel in First
Syracuse got to Ed Rommel, the
Newark pitcher, in the first inning for
three runs. when they buncned four
hits, two of them scra.,hy affairs to
short, which fast fielding could have
the first frame, and allowed only three
hits.
Bruggy, who knocked in Newark's S
winning run, had three hits out of four
times up, and handled Eommel's de-
livery we'll. Sullivan had a busy day
at first, taking care of eighteen out of
nineteen chances.
Walter Shay, the crack Newark sec
ond sacker. was out of the game yes
terday. having been hit on the throw
ing arm with pitched ball in batting
practice. Manners tossed up fast
one and Shay could not get out of the
way. He expects to be in the lineup
to-day: Dowd, who played in right
field for Syracuse, has gone back to
school, and will not return to the
Stars until the school semester is
finished.
Rochester will come to Newark to-
day fer threeday stay.

Public Schools
IoVieinF Field
Games To-day


!, The outdoor athletic campaign among
the schoolboys of the greater city will
begin this afternoon with the annual
novice, track and field games and cham
pionship relays at the Public Schools
Athletic League field, Brooklyn. In ad-
dltlon to the competition for high
school students there will be three
races for boys in their first year in
high school.
The relay events probably will fur
nish the closest competition. They at
tract the most prominent schools, and
as records are recognizable only when
made in championship competition it
can be taken for granted that the ath-
letes will fight every inch of the way
in the hope of defeating Father Time.
New marks seem certain in the novice
contests, as the schoolboys are cor
tinually showing an Improvement in
their efforts.

Big Guns Injure Nerves
20 Per Cent of Wounded Suf-
fer From Shock

ATLANTIC CITY, May 10.-New
names for nervous diseases will have to
be introduced in order that the studies
of neurology and psychiatry may keep
pace with the tremendous increase in
nervous Affections due to the utiiiza-
ton of modern engines of war on the
European battlefelds, said speakers
who discussed medical war problems
before the American Neurological AS
sociation here to-day.
DR.. T. H. Weinberg, of Philadelphia,
the president of the association, said
that the United States had established
precedent by creating division of
neurology and psychiatry in the medi-
cal corps of the National Army. The
increased use Of artillery, he declared,
had developed so great an increase in
nervous disorders among soldiers that
no less than 20 per cent of the wound
ed have some injury to the nervous
system.
