AMERICAN MEN IN GERMAN AREAS TO
 HAVE ATHLETICS
Programs Arranged for the Track and Field Meets
 Announced

Paris, Feb. 26.-The athletic pro- occupied area in Germany and at all camps of the American expeditionary force in France during the term of service of the armies of the United States overseas is rapidly taking def mite form. In this important field sanctioned and controlled by the of- ficers of the army, baseball will soon share with boxing the concen- trated attention of the athletic de- partment of the Knights of Columbus.
 Director Jake" Carey of the K. of c. recreational division has hecur- ed many athletes of more than passing importance in America to supervise the work in all divisions and at all camps. Following the recent ap- pointment of Alec MacLean of Bos- ton as boxing director i'll the ten di- visions of the Thmird army came the selection of Tom Dowd as general baseball organizer in the army of oc- cupation ill Germany. MT. Dowd ar rived in Paris January II in a group B secretries of the organization. He was immediately appointed to the ath- letic division and will soon assume his duties at eVtrich with the Fourth division.
 Dowd Is Manager.
 MT. Dowd needs no introduction to American fans, having managed m ior league teams and played wherever the national game has been establish ed as an institution in America. He has been identified with the St. Louis, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland, Chicago and Milwaukee teams in major league ball and has for many years been the guiding star of minor league teams.
 Dowd enjoys another qualification for his new duties. He is a good mix CT in the sense of having happy faculty of "getting along With the boys" and will have little difficulty in getting results from the very start of the baseball season which will open with the first intimation of the ap- proach of the French springtime.
 Today, before leaving for general survey of the baseball prospect, h. said: Whatever conditions l may find, there is no doubt but that the army in Germany will have fine brand of baseball. There is much good talent in the army. and now that it is necessary to find relaxation for the men who are awaiting discharge from 4ne service, there is no reason why the very best of it should not be used. You may be sure that no pains will be spared to give the A. E. F. big league brand of baseball as soon as the weather will permit"

IRISH SOLDIERS ASK CONFERENCE
 TO SEE CLAIMS
Appeal to Lloyd George to Present Question in
 Paris.

Dublin, Jan. 3O.-(Correspondenct of the Associated Press.-lCaptair Stephen l.. Gwynn, former National ist member of parliament, now chair man of the executive committee o the rish Center party, and severa 1 Irish Nationalist officers, who seervt in the war, have sent an appeal tt Premier Lloyd-GeOrge to submit tho Irish question to the peace confer. ence.
 Captain Gwynn was active in the voluntary recruiting movement ir Ireland in the latter part of the wal when it was feared that conscriptiou would be imposed upon Ireland.
 In a letter to the premier, Captain Gwynn and his associates say that the problem of Ireland could not be bet ter described than in the words of President Poincare in outlining the task of the peace conference as be- ing to "remake the map of the world and respect the rights of nations small and great, to dispose of them selves"
 By these terms, asserts Captain Gwynn and his fellow officers, "the peace conference is indicated as the bar before which Ireland's claim should be heard and judged. Ventur- ing to affirm that we speak not for ourselves alone" continues the let ter, "but for tens of thousands of Irish nationalists who went out with the same puruose that inspired us and of whom many thousands can nev- CT speak again-we submit to you re- spectfullv that the Irish question go to the arbitS1ment of the peace con- ference.
 "The Irish difficulty lies partly in Ireland, between a majority and a minority; but it lies also between Ireland and England. You who have accepted the principle of international ly determined equities between nation and nation canot honor and jus tice claim that as between England and Ireland, Englad should be the sole iufge.
 Not only in the interest of our own country. but in the interest of the worlds peace, which must always be in jeopardy while . nation small or great lives under deep seated sense of ancient and ranking injustice we ask you with the utmost earnest ness to submit our case and yours, our nation difficulty and your im- erial difficlty, to the great assize of II: tions."

IMMENSE AMOUNT OF
 fs ROAD BUILDING WILL BE COMMENCED SOON

Although Weathed conditions in
 many parts of the country make it necessary to delay work on public
 roads or other outdoor projects, many states report to the department of labor that preparations are being
 made to employ large numbers of men 1 as soon as possible. It is estimated that about 00,00O,00O will be spent
 during 1919.
 In California agitation in favor of the Tahoe-to-ukiah highway for which an appropriation of $3,OOC,000 has
 been asked from the state, is focusing attention and bills have been intro- , struction of roads from the San Joa-
 quin valley to the coast and for road , connecting. the California and Nevada highway systems. The annual postoffice appropriation bill. as revised and reported out by thes senate postoffice committee pro-
 vides for appropriations of $200,000,- ! 000 within the next three years for the construction and maintenance of ! roads. To the house bill providing $357 ,7S2,000 the senate added Senator Bankhead's bill appropriating $5OO0O,- this year and $75,000,000 for 1920 and $75,000,000 for 1921. Kansas has under consideration hard surface program that eventually
 will cost $60,000,000. This contem- plates several thousand miles of high way connecting all the market cen |sters and county seats !n the state.

 commission of Maryland has announc-
 ed hat $6,000,O00 will be spent on the
 roads of the state, beginning the end of February, provided the weather is

 used in the next five years for the
 construction of 4.S00 miles of good

 ACTIVITIES HERE

London, Feb. 27.-Study of the of ficial statement containing transla- tion of the report from Count von Bernstorff, German ambassador to the United States to Chancellor won Bethmann-Hollweg, August 26, 1916, discloses intedesting details of the part that the count and the foreign office played in erman intrigues in the United tates. The report gives a further evidence regarding the use of Wolf von Igel, gorge von kal, and Dr. Heinrich Albert, by the erman government. Proof that the money used in their intrigue was paid with the acquiesencc of the erman chan cellor, if not at his order, is con- tafned i'll this report.
 1t is disclosed that Albert had charge of much erman money and that von Bernstorff wished to keep him in the United States because there is absolutely no one else at jmy disposal who is to be trusted with the matter referred to-" which included compromising documents.
 The ambassadors report was found among the papers and documents left behind in Nazareth by Captain yon Papen whezn he fled before the British advance in Palestine last fall.

BOOTLEG IS VERY APT COGNOMEN FOR
 CONTRABAND PUP

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, Feb. 27.-Since the passage of the local option law in Mississippi county, neighbor coun- ty to Butler, and the order forbidding the shipment of liquor into "dry" territory, a special policeman has been kept on duty at the Charleston rail- road station to watch suspicious look ing characters with suspicious pack ages as they alight from the train train from the one oasis in an ex- tensive dry belt. This week, when a a negro alighted from a West-bound local train with suitcase seeming ly filled with booze, he was accosted by the policeman on duty and was in- formed that he was under arrest.
 What for boss? What for?" stam- mered the negro, his eyes blinking and showing the whites.
 "Bootlegging," returned the off cer.
 Honest boss, ain't doin' no boot leggin,, don't carry that stuff, protested the negro.
 You may tell that to the judge. Open up the suitcase and we will see, Ithe cop commanded.
 With some degree of hesitation the negro began to unite the cord that bound the suitcase. "Therc ain't no use of opening this here suitcase" he ventured.
 "Open it up!' bawlcd the officer. So the negro opened the suitcase and out stepped hungry-looking hound dog, much to the surprise of the pol iceman. The negro had put the dog in the suitcase to avoid express charges.
 The special officer quickly vanish ed from the immediate neighborhood and the ebony-hued traveller turned to his friend hound and said: Guess Pll have to call you Bootleg."

MAY NEVER SOLVE MYSTERY OF NUNS
 DISAPPEARANCE
Bones Taken from Beneath Church Fail to Give
 Evidence.

Traverse. City, Mich., Feb. 27.--Lee- lanau county authorities investigat- ing the disappearance from the Isa- dore convent near here, eleven years ago, of Sister Mary Johns, say they are compelled to admit the mystery may never be solved.
 Believeing the nun came to VlO- lent death and that the human remains removed from shallow grave be- meath the Isadore church by the church sexton to cemetery year ago, were hers, the officers still de- clare Identification is by no means certain and that positive evidence of crime has not developed.
 Sheriff In Milwaukee.
 Sheriff Kinnucan today had not re- turned from Milwaukee where he has been investigating persons said to have formerly resided at 1sadore, in the hope of running to earth some of the vague rumors in the case. It is expected however, that the sheriff will visit other cities and that next devel- opments, if there are any, must come from outside the state.
 According to local authorities, the bones taken from beneath the church show no signs of violence. The bits of clothing recovered have not been positively identified but the officers place some importance on a small bit of hand mirror, initialed on the back and which was concealed in the habit found in the grave. Relatives of the missing nun will be asked, it is said, to identify the glass if possible.
 Another search of the earth be- meath the church is to be made in the hope of finding further and more def mite clues and investigation of the circular chain of rumors traced thru several cities, will continue at least until the time set for the hearing March II, of Mrs. Stanislawa Lypch- inski, who is held in connection with the case.

 Are Part of World. Our, experiences in the war from which we are just emerging" said the Senator in his argument upon the necessity for a league, "have convinc- ed us that we are part of the world and that whenever the world becomes convulsed with war in the future we are likely to become involved in it" Citing enormous cost and losses of the present war, he said:
 "The confidence of men in govern ment had been shaken and will never be restored until governments devise some way to end these wars. If we fail to adopt an internat1 n- alism of governments, that will Hhea to end wars, we shall be face toG :e with the internationalism of the Sln- dividual." / i Referring to the trend toward so- cialistic leaders, and ideas, Senator Hitchcock said Russia was cQf,,munis- tic, that France and Italy were do- minated by the socialist leaders, and that socialist principles were grow i'll gin England and Gerr ...lny. Preparations Resa ,onsible.
 "We know the preparations for war, the burden of war and the horrors iof war, are largely responsible for this development in every nation in Europe of the socialist idea," he said. If war and the preparations for war are to continue the chief. business of national g. vernments, we can expect a deveolpment of socialism and bolshe- vism in the United States. Nor will 1t ha confined to orations on soap boxs $ in the public streets of our great cities, but it will appear in con- gress, in the house of representatives and the senate. It will affect legiSla- tlon in this country as it has in other countries, it will seize political power in this country as it has i'll other countries.
 Digressing from his prepared text, Senator Hitchcock declared that if the senate attempted to amend the pro- posed constitution the league would "be wrecked" He accused senators who opposed the league plan before the proposed constitution was an nounced with trumping up charges against it.
 "They still continue conjuring up a. scarecrow," he declared.
 The Japanese question, was charac- terized as "bugaboo," and one of the "false fronts" brought up as an argument against the league.
