RARE SILVER PLATE
FOUND IN SCOTLAND
Site Reveals Occupation
During First Four Centuries
of Christian Era.

EDINBURGH. June 2o-tCorres-
pondence of The American Press. "A
hoard of battered silver plate dating
back to the fourth century las been
found on the estate near here of
the British foreign minister, A. J..
Balfour 1t is described as one Of
the most remarkable archaeological dis
coyeries ever made in northern
Europe. Mr. Balfour had agreed with
the excavators that all finds should
become the property of the nation,
and the silver vessels have been
transferred to the Queen street
museum in this city. The silver is
said to be exceptionally pure.
The site of the discovery is known
as Traprain Law. 1t was once d
fortified area. which covers sixty
acres and gives evidence of occupa-
ton at intervals during the first four
centuries of the Christian era. II
is believed to have been at one time
the site of Celtic settlement under
Roman rule. Its latest inhabitants
are thought to have been Saxon
pirates.

TRIAL CLAUSE IN TREATY
IRRITATES THE EX-KAISER
Remains Alone, Brooding, for
Hours After Reading Proposal
for His Arrangement.

AMERONGEN. June 90 Correspond
ence o. the Associated Press The
former German emperor displayed
marked irritation after reading the
clause of the peace treaty in which the
allies announced their intention of put
ting him on trial on charges of violation
Of international morality and of the
sanctity OF treaties. For several hours
after he had read the clause no one at
the castle Of Amerongen had the cour-
age to approach him. He sat in a chair
entirely alone and apparently in deep
thought. while the former empress, Au-
guste Victoria. and the members Of his
suite walked in the grounds, occasion
ally glancing in his direction.
Next day he seemed to be in a state
OF nervous agitat ton. for he frequently
ceased his saving and walked away,
tinue the work alone. Later. however,
he resumed with increased energy, so
much SO that one of his assistants was
forced to take to his bed for some days
in order to recover from a chill caught
while perspiring at the other end of the
saw.
Subsequently the dull life at the cas-
tie resumed its ordinary dullness. and
since the first display of annoyance
Count HOhenzollern has shown few
signs Of being much affected by the
conditions of the peace treaty.
The former emperor has sawn his
4,o0oth log. and it is asserted by some
Of his retainers that he intends to bring
the number up to 10000. The logs.
which now form a large heap are placed
in piles to dry in preparation for use as
fuel in the castle next winter.

DEMANDS ALL NATIONS
Be LEAGUE EL|CBLES

NEW YORK. July 10.-A demand
that all the nations of the world be
made eligible to the league of nations
was expressed in a resolution unani-
mously adopted here yesterday at the
first annual congress of the Pan-Amer-
can Federation Of Labor by delegates
from ten countries. including the
United States.
The demand was formulated in an
amendment proposed by Samuel Com
pers. president of the congress and
head Of the American Federation of
Labor, following a report by a com
mittee on resolutions indorsing the
league of nations.
Lively discussion was precipitated
by the report, several of the dele
gates contending that it was ''unrea-
sonable" to expect the labor move
ment in countries which had not been
admitted to the league to do more
than sympathize with it's general
aims.

FAMOUS OSTEND CASINO
THING OF BEAUTY AGAIN

respondence Of the Associated Press).
After nearly five years of war, o.
tend is resuming ordinary life as far
as possible under present conditions.
with the reopening Of the famous
casino. A few months ago the great
salons of the casino were a scene Of
devastation and wanton destruction.
The buildings escaped the lombard
ment that transformed so many of
the beautiful hotels and villas along
the Digue into heaps Of rubble, and
the use of nine tons Of glass has re-
paired all the damage thus occasion
ed, but the Germans had plundered
and defiled the salons.
Every stick of furniture was
taken away, beautiful tapestries were
slashed and torn by German bayonets,
and every mirror in the halls was
removed. together with the copper
candelabra in the salons and the
beautiful copper staircase. Not con-
tent with robbery, the Germans left
the whole place in a state that would
have shamed any animal inhabiting
stable. But since then a miracle has
been wrought, and but for the fact
that some Of the more valuable
fittings are at present only tenn
porarily replaced by imitation, there
is no evidence of the war SO far as
the casino is concerned.
