BIG THREE TO
CONVENE IN NEW YORk

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. Repre-
sentatiyes of the athletic committees
of Harvard, Yale and Princeton will
meet at the Harvard club of New
York city next Tuesday afternoon at
4:30 o'clock. The conference is to
discuss chiefly the athletic situation
in the sports in which the universe
ties are interested as triangular OPP
ponents. Prof. Roger B. Merriman,
of Harvard. chairman of the Harvard
Athletic committee, will be Harvard S
representative, and it is the belief that
Prof Corwin will act for Yale and
Dean McClenathan for Princeton, as
they have in previous conferences.
Various matters concerning athletic
government at Yale. Harvard and
Princeton will be cleared up for the
present year at least-no doubt for
future years There is the prevailing
impression that the ruling of the l. c
a. A. 4. in suspending the one-yeaI
rule in 1919 would apply to all col
leges. This apparently is not the
case; the action of the I. c. a. A. a
affects only the intercollegiate meet
next spring, so far, at least, as Yale
Harvard and Princeton are concerned
There is, in fact, at the present time
an agreement among these three uni
verSities in regard to all such cues
lions as the one-year rule. Conse-
quently engagements would be on
reached by representatives at the
meeting of the chairman of the thret
| boards. At Tuesdays meeting Their
| is a possibility that action may b.
| taken TO permit members of the elias
of 1922 to take part in universit,
! sports.
If this arrangement is made it vii
| apply only throughout the presen
| college year. 1t is interesting to not
that at a melting of the Intercol
! legiate Swimming association, whic
was also held in New York last week
it was voted not to suspend the one
year rule, but to keep freshmen swim
ming separate from the universit
teams. However, if the three chairme
! of the Princeton, Yale and Harvar
Athletic Control boards should decid
to suspend the one-year rule, thei
decision would probably apply I
swimming as well. although this
one of the details which would onl
be settled after subsequent delibera
| ton.

REWARD OFFERED FOR
CAPTURE OE KARL RADEk

Be Rim, Friday, Jan. 31.-(By the a,
P.)-The Society for the Suppression
of Bolshevism,. recently organized in
Berlin, offers a reward of 10000 marks
for the capture of Karl Radek, the
head of Bolshevik propaganda in Ger
many, or for information disclosing his
Whereabouts in Germany.
Radek is still believed to be hiding
here and to be identified indirectly
with the Spartacan instructions IN
Wilhelmshaven, Bremen and Dussel-
dorf.
Eichhorn, the fugitive former police
chief of Berlin, it is urged, also should
be apprehended. He apparently is un-
der safe cover awaiting the convenine
of the national assembly to which he
was elected head of the Independent

depending upon immunity as member
of the assembly to prevent his arresi

bert, former manager of the Ark
mo Lumber Company's yards at
Little Rock Mr.. Gilbert will
have the management of the
yards of the new business here.
He is an experienced lumber man
and will no doubt conduct the
business III a manner that will
command a large and lucrative
trade.
All the men at the head of the
concern are leading citizens Of
Carlisle and make a strong com
bination that will be one of the
greatest enterprises that Carlisle
has had up to this ime.
Stock in the concern is being
sold at $40 a.share and is going
rapidly and will no doubt all be
taken by home people.
The company will handle ev-,
erything in the building line, lum-
Der of all kinds, brick, lime, ce-
ment, paints, oils etc. 1t will also
handle coal for domestic consump-
ton.
This company expects to get IN
touch with a substantial building
and loan association that will loan
money for the building of homes
in Carlisle. This will give the
man OF limited means an opportu-
nifty to own his nome, paying Tor
it as he would pay rent.
Everybody III Carlisle will reap
the benefits to be derived from
this organization either directly
or indirectly as it will afford OPP
portunities that some people could
get IN no other way
Carlisle is gradually, but sure
ly coming to the front and promis-
es to grow more in the next II
months than it has in the past 4
or 5 years.
We should all get busy and use
every influence at our command
to induce other enterprises OF as
great proportions to locate here.
Let the Carlisle Lumber Com
pany be a starter which will be
followed by others. We have the
best location in the state and have
the best producing country sur
rounding US to back up the loca-
ton.
We have wide-awake business
men who always get what they 60

RUSSIANS CALL
 CITY OF MOSCOW
 1.-THE GRAVEYARD"
Typhus Adds To Horrors of Hunger and Disorder In :
 Russian City.

Paris, March 10.-(By Associated Press. )-Typhus is adding to the hor- TOTS of hunger and disorder in Mos COW which the population has chrit- ened "The Graveyard" according to a British business man who has just arrived in Paris from Russia. There are. no disinfectants or medicines with which to fight the epidemic and no soap. Hot water is scarce because of the shortage of fuel and the result is that the freezing and disheartened po- pulation is unable to protect itself.
 Recently railway officials in Mos COW, the business man reported, or dered the crowd out of the central rail- way station in order to clean it and found the bodies of five victims of the typhus which had been lying for days among the peasants sleeping on the floor. The undertakers are unable to meet the demands upon them and the bodies of typhus victims await burial for weeks. The winter has there has been no heat in the houses. The British says that the non-Bol- shevisk population is so underfed that it has been unable to resist disease.
 Remove Store Signs.
 Under the orders of the Soveit gov ernment the signs of all private con- cerns have been ordered removed and virtually all the remaining stores have been nationalized.
 The Britisher says that there appar- ently has been great increase in the number of Chinese troops in Mos- cow. He says that the Let's and Chinese are the only forces that Len- inc and Trotzky regard as loyal.
 When the Britisher left Moscow, cat and dog meat was selling for five rubles a pound and horse meat was bringing eighteen rubles pound. Beef occasionally was sold secretly by the peasants for twenty rubles pound. Butter, when available, brought 15O rubles pound. A pound of sugar brought the same sum, but sugar was hard to get. Occasionally a little block flour sold in villages distant from Moscow and Patrograd for about two dollars pound. Ruble ex- change fluctuates between six and ten cents.
 Lack of caol and oil and the delapi dated condition of the rolling stock has reduced the number of street cars and railway trains so that there is terrible crowding and congestion at stations, resulting in the spread of disease. The railway trains are not heated and scores of passengers have frozen to death in Russia this winter.
 Petrograd Is Worse
 A Britisher visited Petrograd late in January and says that the situation there was worse than at Moscow.
 "I wish that people outside of Rus sia who instist that the Russians in soviet Russia should arise and over throw the Bolsheviki could see the real situation" the Britisher conclud- ed. They would appreciate how im- possible it is to upset Lenine and Tro- tzky. When armed robbers attack unarmed men the latter have to sur render their purses. It is the same with the Bolsheviki because they have all the arms and ammunition.
 "The scattered groups which have opposed the Bolsheviki did little more than commit suicide. In my opinion starvation and misery will continue in Moscow and Petrograd until out side pressure forces a chanoen
