CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS

Charleston, June 26. Tho South
Carolina War Savings Committee
wants to know if anyone can imagine
the following scene:
Under flag of truce, General
Pershing and General Won H;nden-
berg meet. "Vell, vo: iss ?" asks the
German general. "Oh, we want to
surrender" General Pershing answels $.
Our soldiers feel that they have done
enough now, and we don't think we
shall fight any more. We have al
ready fought two battles and that's
enough. If our folks at home want
they'll have to do the best they can.
We've done our bit"
"Of course" the committee adds,
no one can picture such scene, but
It serves to illustrate the weakness Of
the position taken by some who try
to persuade themselves that they have
loaned the government enough money.
Inc government spends money every
day and uses labor and material every
day and therefore we must adjust our
living and our finances so that the
government can get what it needs.
No one has loaned to the limit of his
resources until he has sacrificed lux
uries.
10 iopcu tHdL Lne war VIII end
not later than in 1920, and we might
as we'll prepare ourselves to lend to
the government continually. 1t is not
impossible that the war may last five
years longer, and the longer it lasts,
the more money we will have to lend.
the more Injuries we will have to sac
rifice, and the more taxes we will
have to pay.i There is only one way
to end these many demands, and that
is by ending the war
And the war will end in the short
est time possible only if the men, wo-
men and children support the army
and navy in whole -souled manner.
War savers are life savers. The per
son who doesn't sign the War Savings
pledge will have to offer mighty
good excuse before the public will lis
ten. The time has gone by when an
american can withhold his resources
from the government. The day of ex-
cuses has finally disappeared"

WHAT KANSAS DID
Athletic Club Made Muscles Hard for
Farm Labor

One of the war necessities this year
has been Tor able bodied town men to
volunteer FOR farm work in their coun-
ties or communities during the har-
iWeStS or other periods when emergen.
cy supplies Of farm help are needed
For months the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has been urging
this program in every part of the
United States.
This plan was put into effect ir
every town and city in Kansas, in or
der that sufficient harvest hands
might be secured for the war-winning
wheat crop. 1t was suggested that
the town men, being unaccustomed to
hard physical work, would not be of
real assistance in the harvest until
enough to "get the kinks out Of their
muscles"
That's good point" somebody of
the Kansas City Athletic Club said
Lets start a training class move
inent, and get the kinks out of every
town volunteers muscles before he
gets to the farm. Then he can go
right to work-bing, as soon as ne
lands in The field"
So the Kansas City Athletic Club
organized Loyal Physical Fitness
Glass; for the purpose of hardening
city men for work in the harvest
fields. Under the direction of pro.
.tesslonal instructors this early morn
ing out door class was attended reg
uiarly by many business and profes-
slonal men of the city for some weeks
prior TO the wheat harvest. Flabbv
muscles became firm. Fat was sweat
ed away. Office men got themselves
mt. This physical-tcaining plan was
taken up by many towns and cities of
Kansas. Not only were town men
asked to volunteer for work in the
harvest fields; they were expected, af-
ter volunteering, to fit themselves for
effective work by faithfully training
IN one Of the physical classes.
! Various organizations of business
and professional men In Kansas en-
tered wholeheartedly INTO the spirit
OF the farm volunteer movement and
conducted among their memberships
vigorous and succ :ssfn! campaigns for
farm workers. For instance, the Kan
sas City Bar Association sent to ea,h
member folder urging him to "Join
the Loyal Physical Fitness Glass at
the Kansas City Athletic Club from
now TO harvest time as you will be-
come physically fit. % initiation fee.
fNo dues. just to win the war"
ci''A' %. ~ ttli SSllItle the crop

S";:r front, so you can harvest wheat"
;. And they did get into condition and
harvest. the wheat. The business and
professional men, town residents gen
orally, did it all over Kansas.
BY the way! Other crops are to be
harvested. This Kansas City "Loval

London, May 23.-The Manchester
Guardian military expert says:
Indications are slight, but so far
as they go they would seem to point
to the possibility that the main
weight of the German attack in
Flanders will be at the two extreme
ends of the Allied lines, north of
Givenchy and north of Ypres. The
object of such a maneuver would be
to get athwart of any possible re-
tirement from Ypres should their
next advance meet with initial sue
cess.
THE mere occupation of Ypres by
their armies would be hollow vic
tory if the army that has held it so
long were to retire, and their aim Is
not so much, at this stage of the
war, to win positions as to reduce
the effective fighting strength of the
Allies Small successes dearly
bought are worse than useless to
them. Unless they get all, they had
better have rested content with moth
ing and economical their manpower.
Therefore, when the Germans do at
tack it will be on great scale.
What they would like most of all
would be to break through toward
Amiens and south of the Somme, for
that would separate the two armies
and destroy the efficacy of the united
command, which they recognize to be
the most important victory of Allied
military policy since the occupation
of Passchendaele Ridge. Failing
that, they would like to make some
strategic coup which, while not sep
arating the British and French,
would cut off a portion of the Allied
| forces in Flanders.
But, except by a surprise, they
have no chance of bringing off the
victory they desire. 1t will be sur
prise of weight; that is to say,
while they will probably attack all
along the line, they will choose some
important point at which to concen-
trate, as they hope. overwhelming
forces. That is why our reconnais-
sance work is the most important
work that our air service can do.
The days of natural fog are drawing
to close, but there is such a thing
as artificial fog and 1t must be re-
membered that what gave the Ger
mans their first start at st. Quentin
was the early morning fog"

Central High Wins Final
Game From Academy

Central took the deciding game
of her series with the Harrisburg
Academy yesterday, Ito. Two bad
innings for the Academy did the
damage when Central pounded the
ball freely and there were number
of infield errors. The rest of the
game was tight. N..t
Esquerro held the mound for the
Academy and pitched good ball out
side of the two bad innings. Goodiels
work for Central was excellent, as he
held the Academy to two hits. Both
Fields and Stone worked we'll behind
the bat, holding the deliveries and
throwing we'll.
There were several changes in the
Academy lineup, Newlin changing
from third to first, Laudermilch TAX
ing Newlin's place. In the outfield
May and Wescott, two new men on
the team were given a tryout, acquit-
ting themselves well. The Academy

Wilson Signs Sedition
Bill; Measure Drastic;
Carries Heavy Penalties

Washington, May 23.-Enemy
propagandists in the United States
find themselves in a close-meshed
net, followingsthe signing by Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday of the "sedi-
ton bill"
This measure is the most drastic
ever enacted to catch and punish
the enemy agent who commits an
overt disloyal act.
1t imposes a prison term of twenty
years, fine of $4,000 or both on
any person who writes, prints or
utters anything tending to obstruct
Liberty Loan campaign, recruiting
for the army or navy, or anything
villifying the government or officials,
or tending to incite resistance to
! them or who by word or deed favors
the cause of Germany or her allies.
1t takes away mail privileges from
persons convicted of violating it. If
a man violates the act, no mail ad
dressed to him and none sent out by
him, will be delivered.
1t is one of a trio of laws Presi-
dent Wilson asked Congress to enact
to strengthen the government in
dealing with internal enemies. The
others are the bills penalizing sabot
age and destruction of war materials
and that including women under the
terms of the enemy alien law. All
are now in effect.
The Department of Justice an
nounces that registration of women
under the last-named law will be-
gin Monday, June II and continue
until June 26.

Galahad threw another jolt into
the Reading team last evening, when
for the second time this season they
won from the railroaders by a score
of 8 to 8. Shay and Fohl, the kid
battery, played clever ball and stood
off their opponents through a hVe-
inning tilt. RED" Foland proved a
star in his first game for the winner.
This grammar school lad landed on
the first ball pitched for a home run,
the ball rolling to deep center field:
Bach of the bat he also handled all
chances without a miscue. KID
Shay was also on the job, tanning
seven batters, while at the bat he
was credited with two hits.
Foland's homer in the first gave
Galahad their first tally. They scored
another in the second when Holland
walked and came home on pitcher
Shay's three bagger. They put the
game on ice in the third when Co
baugh got to first on an error, stole
second, and went to third when an
error was committed on Hinkles
hatted ball Hinkle stole and both
runners crossed the plate on Bill
Reiffs double. Wingard singled,
went to second on Miller's fielders
choice and came home when Shay
again hit timely. Hinkle cracked out
Reiff was again on the job with hit
that scored Hinkle.
Reading had big session in the
third when they scored a quartet of
runs. Platt reached first on an error
and Immediately stole. Davies walk
ed and both runners scored on NC
Curdy's three Dagger. Levan was
walked and stole. Ehling singled and
two more runners counted. Their last
run scored in the fifth when McCurdy
signed. went to second on tielders
choice, and came home on another
hit by Ehling.
McCurdy and Ehling were the
heavy sticksmiths for the losers.
while "Bill" Reiff and Shay batted
timely for the winners. Manager
Pressler protested the game, claim
ing that the rules of the league were
broken in playing only five innings.
The rules read that seven innings
shall constitute a game, unless rain
or darkness interferes. At the start
of the game, Umpire Shickley agreed
with the two teams that only nye-
innings should be played because of
a driZzle that had already set in. At
the end of the fifth inning the sun
was shining, and Manager Pressler
claims that the game should have
proceeded until the end of the sew
enth inning. The protest was handed
in to President Reel. Tonight
Rosewood and Hick-A-Thrift play,
while Friday evening the postponed
game between Galahad and Hick-A-
Thrift will be staged.

Mermaid Barred
For WaywardnesS

What do you know about this ?
The mighty nation of Australia would
bar its cleverest woman amateur
swimmer from competing in Amer
lea because of feminine wayward-
ness And list to what they mean
by way wardness. As told in the
Telegraph yesterday, Fanny Durack,
the star of star mermaids in the land
of the kangaroo and boomerang, is
on the way over here with the OBJ
ject of proving that Australia can
beat the world in the finny sport.
Ahead of her came a cable from the
Athletic Committee that she must
not be allowed to compete here for
reasons to be given later. 1t devel-
ops now, according to story in the
sydney Referee, that:
Miss Fanny Durack has once more
demonstrated the waywardness of
woman by insisting upon taking the
law into her own hands in defiance
of constituted authority. She said,
i won't couple of years ago when
it was first suggested that one Cor
more) woman swimmer should visit
America in response to an invitation
received from that country.
Miss Durack said I won't again
the other day when the same mat
ter was before the committee or a
general meeting of the n. S. W. l. A
5. a. These won'ts were not abso-
Lutte refusals to go to the United
States. Miss Durackawas as anX-
ious to see that great country as
most Australians are, but, woman
like, she wanted her own way in the
matter. She desired on the first oc-
casion that the outfit should be
wholly Durack-Fanny Durack, the
representative, and Fanny Durack s
sister the chaperon.
Not Real Amateurism
she did not desire the company OF
even Miss Nina Wylie. Whether
Miss Wylie was barred by the latest
won't. deponent knoweth not Both
wopts were refusals to allow the
Ladies' Association to appoint q
chaperon who would also act as man
ageress unless that body could be
induced to look upon Miss Durack'S
demand with favor. This, of course
could not be thought of for a mo-
ment. 1t is sisterly and natural that
Miss Durack should endeavor tc
have member of her own family as
companion on trip so pregnant with
promise of pleasure. 1t was not
however, purely family affair witt
the association it was a matter oi
business, and the best qualified per-
son had to be selected.
IF Fanny Durack's sister had the
required experience and the necessary
attributes, which amount to a great
deal, that will easily occur to the
| thinker, there would be nothing
against the two sisters going on the
long jaunt together beyond that il
might be free and easy sort ot
| amateurism which allowed such &
| thing"
