GERMAN INDUSTRIES
 ARE UNDER PROBE

marked on the great search for pleas ures, even if this is partly the result of the revolution. People who are so eager for pleasure are not suffering from famine. We no longer recognize the hard-working Germans of former days and the people have not changed to advantage and the difficulties of reconstruction are increased by these people.
 The newspaper adds the American does not appear to have a very deep perception, otherwise he could not have formed such a superficial opinion regarding Germany's food supplies. although his sentiments regarding the pleasure seekers in large cities are right, and it is unfortunate that the Germans must be criticized by for eigners.
 The Weser Zeitung reports that two American officers, Captain Lewis Chaunler and Captain Ernest Edwards, are in Bremen in order to handle the American foodstuffs expected via Bre- men. The Americans are authorized by MT. Hoover to investigate the con- ditions and see whether Bremen af- lords enough security.
 The paper points out that America need not have any anxiety on this score, and says the Americans are very considerate; that they negotiate with the Weser company and appear to be reassured, and are returning to report to MT. Hoover.
 Another issue of the same news paper reports the arrival of entente Warships at Bremen, among which is the American cruiser Chester and the French and English ships. There are allied commissions on board under the leadership of Captain Morast for the commission for the inspection of ships.

REGULATIONS COVERING
 WEARING OF CHEVRONS

Officers and enlisted mei. of the army of the United States who are authorized to wear wound and service chevrons are not entitled to wear them after their discharge from the federal service, according to a recent ruling of the war department.
 It is held that these chevrons are part of the uniform of the United States army only, and that upon re- lease from the army the right to ser vice or wound designation ceases.
 This ruling will come as q distinct surprise and disappointment to the thousands of men who have recently returned to civil life, and who have taken special pride in the gold and silver bars on their uniform sleeves. The war department states, however, that if legislation is enacted allowing discharged officers and soldiers to wear the uniform for any prescribed period of time, they will be entitled hereunder to wear the wound and service chevrons as part of such uniform.
 The red discharge chevron may now be worn until the ex-service man reaches his home, but ex-soldiers who enlist in the national guard are not permitted to wear the discharge in- signia as part of their national guard uniform

stated that during the last six years through the Prisoners Relief Society 10000 employers have opened their plants to men released from prison, and that of more than 10000 men sent to positions, 95 per cent have proved worthy. The Rotarians were asked to use their influence to keep the doors open to men who have served prison sentences and who want an opportu- nity to prove their worth.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Rotary clubs throughout the country have been asked to aid in finding work for men released from penal institutions. Five thousand prisoners have been re- leased in the United States since the close of the war, and according to the Prisoners Relief Society many of them are without work. It is pointed out that the situation is serious, and that unless the business men of the coun- try assist by employing ex-convicts these men will be forced to steal or starve.

Game. a.

Rowdyism spoiled what might have
been a good game at South Side PARK
Yesterday evening and caused the
large crowd of fans who were present
to 70 away from the field disguised.
Both the Watson Building and the
owens teams were at fault, players on
each team resorting to unsportsman-
like tactics.
After six innings Of play the game
was called on account of darkness with
the Watson Building team leading by
a ga score.
A number of unfortunate alterca-
lions took place which detracted from
the game and made it worse than dis
gushing. The only person injured was
Clark Lemley, the Watson building
twIrler, who was hit on the left arm
with a bottle. The person who threw
the bottle could not be identified. 1t
is not believed that the injury will in
terfere, with Lemley's pitching the

Grafton Veterans Got the
Most Of Them Yester-
day Afternoon.

Though d little weak in their field
~ and Shy Of their youthful neetness
,bygone days old time diamond stars
MO performed at South Side park
Feterday afternoon still possess their
batting eye, and yesterday afternoon
.age the seven hundred fans who
rrned out for the Consumer Grafton
same rare exhibition Of what is
ermet .heayy hitting" The opposing
teams were Joe Phillips Tygarts Val
ey Glass company nine and Manager
Ed Rothlisberger's Consumer Fuel
company outfit, Joe's tribe winning by
9s7scount.
Both teams pealed the old onion to
fare-ye-well" and for a while 1t
ooked as If the game was going to
Be won by the team that could best
nd the exhaustion of circling the
6asAs. Roy Keener was the big gun IN
Inc Grafton heavy hitting artillery
making three safe blows in four trips
Is the plate, including a three base
Il and another swat good for all four
stations. The slugger Of the day for
me Downs organization was a man by
the name Of Wood who just recently
made his debut on that team. In i've
chances he made four hits.
Both Mccoy and Kittle were split
ting the plate with their speedy offer
itigs and 1t was only necessary to meet
the ball squarely to send 1t far into
the outer garden for extra bases.
Kendall, Keener and Joe Phillips
we're all In the Grafton lineup and
we're well applauded repeatedly as
they came to bat. They all hit the ball
we'll, not a single one OF them strik-
ing out, but all were just little rusty
IA the Joints when it came to getting
over the ground. This was especially
true Of Joe Phillips, the once famous
who at one time was considered
one of the best in this section OF the
country. Joe is the captain OF the
Grafton nine and yesterday placed
himself out in the center field lot He
had but one chance and it was an un-
usually hard one, the swat being
counted a hit and not an error.
The two teams have played three
Games this season, the game yesterday
being the third and deciding game.
Grafton has now won two of the con-
tests and the Consumer team has TAX
en- one game.
Many fans from Grafton came to
Bairmont for the game yesterday ara
iest no opportunity to cheer their team!

Generally speaking the game was
one ofgthe best which has been seen
on the local diamond this season and
ii was highly enjoyed by every fan who
had the pleasure of attending. Local

Sport Chatter
By The onlOoker.

Beyeridge's excellent catch Of Daw-
sons bid for hit in the fifth inning Of
yesterdays game was the fielding fea-
ture Of the game and helped the fans
to forget the two errors he had made
in the innings previous.
Dawsun's error Of Hines drive In the
second inning was one which no field
er should be ashamed Of. The aver
age fielder would have not gotten in
reaching distance Of the ball.
II there are many more games like
that at South Side park last evening,
the City league will have to employ
an officer whose duties will be to as
sist in protecting the spectators.
Emory Fletcher, Grant Town prod
uct, was taken out of the game yester-
day following his home run clout.
Fletcher has been on the Consumer
bench for quite a while but redeemed
himself yesterday.
Hines made a great stop Of Bever-
idge's fast grounder in the third in
ming yesterday which looked like a
sure hit.
This man Hines, by the way, is also
Grant Town product. He always
was a good baseball player but is play
ing better this year than ever.
