were resumed this morning with in.
creasing fury. Similar riots have been
reported from the cities of Nagoya and

Troops we're called out this morning
to quell the rioters and preserve order

Many rioters were wounded.
The soldiers in cooperation with the

Of the ancient capital Of Japan.

Extent Of Territory Occupied
In connection with claims of the ex.

tr"ops, the following fOOtnote appears:
When it is held that the Germans
have occupied no English territory and
that ON the contrary they have lost
all their African colonies, amounting
to some 3,OO0,O0 square kilometers, it
must be remembered that the English,
according to the declaration of their
minister's, are not intending to secure
any extension of the British Empire;
that they have entered the struggle
with only the aim Of helping the Bel

worth in many ways.
While 1t is not decided definitely,
local shooters may use the fields at

State Live Bird Title
Lebanon Shooter Makes Clean Score Leading Big Field

Sport history came with yester-
days annual Pennsylvania Livebird
Championship Shoot. G. Samuel
Trafford, who has not missed an
event, since they started, is the new
state champion. He won his title out
of a field of eighty eight shooters.
He also won the Harrisburg trophy
and a new trophy offered by the Har-
risburg Sportsmen's Association. He
killed IS birds and then made it
four more in a shoot off.
Yesterdays shoot was the last on
the grounds at Second and LiVision
streets. This property is now part
of the Riverside addition and shoot

Trafford ran neck and neck with
Peter Kline, of Reading; Fred Geist,
Fleetwood. and II. c. Hoffman, of
Philadelphia, each killing 1S birds
In the shootoff Trafford killed four
straight, using both barrels each
time to be on the safe side. Kline
lost his third bird which looked like
an easy one. Geist had a fast white
flyer for his second bird and it got
out of bounds before taking the
count. Hoffman slumped on his
fourth bird.
Keen Competition
Keen competition featured the en-
tire shoot. There were 81 shooters,
each with a score of II; in the 16
class, 20 divided the money; and 10
had a score of 10 each. The shoot
was a big success in spite of the
shortage of birds. In order to have
enough to complete the race each
shooter was given 8 birds instead Of
20. There were few flyers left when
