Sanford, July 20. THE Highland
ors took the lead in the League by
defeating Sanford yeste erday by a.
score of to /.
Hall was on the mound for the
Highlanders and his dope ball was
too much for the boys at the Celery
City. for he kept the hits well scat
tered. Chapman, Sanford's star
pitcher was on the firing line and did
fairly we'll, but the Highlanders fell
on him in the first inning for rms.
After this the game progressed in
beautiful battle, both teams play
ing a splendid game with the High
landers featuring in = great exhibi-
ton of air-tight defense.
McBrayne, who is doing the re-
ceiving for the Highlanders since
Campbell was injured is certainly
having rough time Of It. Just q
few days ago he got beaned and ev-
erybody thought that the next day
would be funeral but the tough
Scotchman took his place in the line
UP and resumed playing.
Yesterday when he attempted to tag
Sanford runner at the plate he was
lun down and knocked out by the
runner but, although this kind Of
treatment is not to his liking he feels
as though he is able to come back
for more today. st. Charles worked
the ancient hidden ball trick on
Chapman which peeved the Sanford
players very much and they even had
an idea of protesting the game on
that account but II would be useless
fer that trick has been worked tim
and time again but in the past fe
years II was hard to trap any ball
player into It except Yesterday when
Chapman was caught mapping, or
either it was so old that he forgot
all about It and did not know wha'
happened.
Those Highlanders certainly played
bang up ball and II they continue that
pace it will take more than Sanford
to beat them to first place In th'
: League.
, The final result of the game wai
3 to 1 with the Highlanders in th'
lead.
Wicker who has those Highlander
E under his wings must also be giyeI
r much credit as to his good iudgmen
: as a manager for he certainly
making good so far. Well, it will b
y Sanford again today and with Fry L

nent of special taxes, wishes to urge

compelled by the treaty of 1889 to
recognize Hollands sovereignty over
this territory, now known as Dutch
Flanders. In return Belgium was to
be protected by treaties of neutrality
the futility Of which, he says. was
demonstrated in 1914 when Germany
called them mere scraps Of paper"
and invaded Belgium.
"The experiences of 1919" contin-
ues DR.. Hebbelynck "have made
clear that unless Antwerp can even
in time of war maintain its free ac-
cess to the sea, unhampered by the
ouibbles of neutral neighbor, the
position Of Antwerp Is rendered inde-
fensible for any longth of time The
peril Is made all the more acute by
the fact that. Antwerp is tho only
seaport available in Belgium for big
ships such as army and ammunition
transports.
"From the economical point Of view
1t IS an absolute necessity that Bel
GUM obtain the right to manage
without hindrance, as sovereign and
independent power, the whole water
system not only of the Scheldt river
from Antwerp to the sea but also of
the low-lying lands of Northern Flan-
ders and of the ship canal from
Ghent to the Scholdt river at Terpeu-
zen.
"The keys of Antwerp are at pres
ent in foreign hands. Belgium claims
them back on the strength Of prin-
ciples Of international law, today
universally proclaimed.
He asserts that endless trouble
arises from the manner in which
Dutch government officials carry out
the agreement over the use OF tho
small harbor of Terneuzen, an out
let Of the ship canal from Client to
the sea through Dutch territory.
Expounding Belgium's claims to
: the southern part of Dutch Limburg,
DR.. Hebbelynck asserts that Hol-
lands possession Of this territory
! "lays the northeastern frontier Of
Belgium open to all attacks because
| the Dutch government recognizes the
impossibility to defend Limburg
) against an invader coming from the
cast"
This fact, he adds, compelled Hol-
lend to let whole German army
escape through Limburg into Ger

, Belgium In November, 1919. The

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-The
state and city today formally well
coined home the members Of the 18th
Division, composed largely of former
Pennsylvania national guardsmen, and
1t was welcome such as probably
never before has been seen in Phila-
delphia.
Headed by Major General Charles
H. Muir. their commander. the boys
of the Iron Division, more than 1900
of them. marched for eight and one
half miles through streets bedecked
with myriad of flags and banners,
walled by grandstands crowded with
spectators and aglow with all kinds
OF decorations. Banked along the
curb from one end of the route to the
other were other thousands OF cheer
ing Pennsylvanians. In all 1t was es-
timated that at least two million per
sons saw the parade and 1t seemed as
though each one OF them tried to out
do the other in their outbursts of en-.
thusiasm.
Relatives and friends Of the Key
stone men came from all sections OF
the state and hundreds of towns in
this and other states were represented
by large delegations headed by city
officials.
Georaians Give Greeting.
One of the biggest groups came
from Augusta, Ga. It consisted OF
about $50 women and men, eager tc
give final greeting to the boys they
had fostered when the 2Sth was in
training at Camp Hancock. near Au
gusta.
No such elaborate decorations prob
ably had ever been seen in Philadel

and at Independence Hall, where the
marching soldiers passed through q
Court of Honor, the display was not
