Deplores Sunday Baseball

The following action has been
taken by the Ministerial Association
of Carlisle at it's regular meeting,
with reference to the playing OF
baseball on the athletic field of the
United States Hospital on Sunday TO
which the general public is admit
ted:
First, We dep!ore the introduc-
ton of the playing of baseball games
on the athletic field OF the United
States Hospital No. 81 upon the
Lords Day to which the people of
the community are admitted, and
we hereby enter our earnest and
rightful protest against this invasion
of the good order of our community
by the demoralizing influence of
these games, which greatly interfere
with the sacredness of the Lords
Day and it's holy services.
Second, We most earnestly call
upon the United States authorities
at the hospital and at Washington
to abate this public vocation of the
Sabbath Day in defiance of the COM
mand of God, Remember the Sab
bath Day to keep 1T holy
Third, We urge this upon the
United States authorities with good
reason to hope that our plea will be
effective because the whole matter
is an open and flagrant violation of
the statute law of the great Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania"

MURDER CHARGED
AS NEW PLEAIS
MADE TO WILSON
Delegates Advise President of
Atrocities in Jails of Ire
land in New Petition

Paris, June Z. - Within the last
few months at least ten citizens have
been killed in Ireland by soldiers
or constables under circumstances
found by coroners' juries to have
been wilful murder. This charge is
made in the report on observations
made in Ireland by Frank p. Walsh,
Michael j. Ryan and Edward F.
Dunno, delegates of the Irish So
cieties in the United States. The
report which was made public last
night, was sent to President Wilson
along with the demand that the
Peace Conference investigate the
Irish question.
Imprisoned Without Cause
Numerous and specific charges OF
atrocities committed in Irish Jails
are contained in sthe document.
Charges are made that hundreds Of
men and women were put in prison
without any special accusations be-
ing made against them. The docu-
ment says that at least five men
died as n result of atrocities in
prisons and that many prisoners are
confir.ed in cells of inadequate size
and given insufficient and unwhole-
some food.
The report also alleges that puni-
tive measures of the prison authori-
ties included douches with water in
which the prisoners were obliged to
remain all night in unheated cells,
bringing orr pneumonia.

Susquehanna Collieries Com

Appeal to Courts


If the county commissioners fix
the valuation of marketable coal in
the ground at cents a ton as rec
commended by w. F. Sekol, mining
engineer for the county, the Sus-
quehanna Collieries Company will be
compelled to appeal to the court for

would be s2,346,00o on approxi-

600 on coal, to s2.S46.0o0 or oven to
70 per cent. of that figure or ST.

would compel them to appeal the
case to the court for decision.
To Operate. mt Loss
They made the 'counter-proposal
that they did not accept and agree
to the tonnage figures estimated by
MIR. Sekol. but would not contest a
leo per cent. assessment increase.
The LAWYERS said that at present the
company pays about 3 cents ton
in taxes on each ton marketed. but
with the increase proposed by Mr..
Sekol the company would be paying
about 10 cents a ton, or cents more
than the valuation OF the coal in the
ground.
The coal corporation representa-

Mr.. Sekol rcN'orted to the county
commissioners that the coal com
pany representatives had shown him
every possible courtesy in his re-
search work at the mines, and the
county officials expressed their ap-
preciation OF this cooperation to
the representatives of the corpora

Many Loose Ends
There are still many loose ends to
the determinations which must be
made before the reply of the Allies
to the German contemporaries can
be submitted to Count Won Brock

plenipotentiaries, and even the uues-
ton OF principle regarding changes
in the Treaty has not been definitely
settled.
The reply viii, be submitted as an
ultimatum with a short time limit,
probably about four days, in which
Germany will have either to take or
leave the conditions as offered them.
No Big Change Expected
The most important modification
under consideration, namely, the
question of reparation, probably will
not involve any material changes in
the Treaty as originally presented.
The concessions will. instead, be pre-
sented in the form of a supple
mentary agreement, defining the pro-
cedure for the reparations commits
sion and prescribing certain instruc-
tions for that body.
This new solution which is expect
ed to emerge from the deliberations
of the experts will dodge fixation of
definite monetary total for repara-
tions, to which the French object on
the ground that announcement of
any sum which it is considered pos-
sible to exact in payment would so
disappoint the expectations of the
French public as to produce a polit-
ical upheaval.
1t is understood that the question
of a plebisoite in Upper Silesia prac-
tically has been decided affirma-
lively.
No change with regard to respon-
sibilities, punishment of the former
Emperor or the disposition of the
German colonies is regarded as prob
able.
