REPUBLICS WIN
Lop- Sided Scores Mark Week End
Games of Big Alma Team.

The Republic baseball team had
two big picnics over the week end at
the expense of the Remus Colored
Giants and the American Oil COM
pany team of Jackson. The first was
taken into camp Saturday by the
Truckmakers by score Of Ii TO 0
and the Jacksonites by score of l6
to in an eight inning game.
There is little question but what
each OF the visiting teams found an
aggregation far stronger than had
been expected and that they suffered
considerably from that familiar all
ment known as stage fright.
In the Saturday battle both Black
hall and Stewart, newcomer,
worked in the box for the Gaswagon
team. and were so effective that dur
ing the entire game only three balls
were knocked out of the infeld. Not a
safe blow did the two men give the
Remus team, and the strikeouts
rolled up with startling regularity.
In the first inning the Republics
batted clear around and then some
gathering seven runs in this session.
The following innings were tame af-
fairs, with the Republics making
regular joke of the fray, except for
the hurlers. who continued to pitch
the entire route, bringing in the first
no hit, no run game of the year
The American Oil company team
of Jackson came to Alma with
string of victories which had been
unbroken all year, and until the fray
started, the Prison City nine had
visions of adding another scalp to it's
string, but O'NeiPs offerings were
anything but puzZling to the Truck
makers, who knocked his delivery to
all corners of the lot, mixing them
with errors of the enemy to aid in
swelling the total of the Republic
scoring column.
One Mr.. Truckey did the hurting
for the Alma nine, and was effective

a shutout except for Smiths wild

NEW YORK, July 12-The report
of alleged Japanese atrocities in Ko-
rea was made public today at the
headquarters of the Presbyterian
church of America. 1t is the result
of Investigations by its representative
es following the Imprisonment of
some of it's missionaries by the Jap
anese authorities. This information
escaped the Japanese censors. Hun
dreds of Koreans, who had professed
Christianity are said to have been
driven by Japanese gendarms, by bay
onets in to the churches, there to be
fired upon through open windows as
they huddled in terror, and later to
perish in flames as the churches were
burned. Women were forced to suffer
indignities.

GLEASON ENTERTAINS
Genial Postmaster Takes Miss Reed
and Her Company for Delight
full Ride to Lake Willoughly

Postmaster Arthur H. Gleason gave
the members of Miss Reeds Chau-
tauqua troops one of the delights of
their lives yesterday when he took
them in his big touring car for ride
from St. Johnsbury to Willoughby
Lake and the Westmore Camp for
Girls to Orleans where they appeared
yesterday.
Miss Reed and her troupe come
from Lincoln, Nebraska. This is
Postmaster Gleason's home town.
The genial postmaster was able to
talk over all his home acquaintances
with Miss Reed and her companions
for they came direct from Lincoln
to start on their Chautauqua tour.
The hills and mountains of Ver-
mont were a marvel to these middle
Western girls who before their trip
East had never seen a mountain.
Rolling prairie land was their only
idea of scenic beauty.
Miss Reed was delighted with Lake
Willoughby and said she had never
imagined there was such a beautiful
place in the world.
The girls spend half an hour on the
beach at Willoughby. 1t was a de-
lightful outing for these hard work
ing young girls. After that they
drove along the shores of the lake
and were received at the big West
more camp. The matron of the camp
showed Mr.. Gleason and his guests
every courtesy showing them the cosy
camp buildings and the delightful
assembly halls.
Then came the trip to Orleans. The
little Western girls could not express
their thanks to Mr.. Gleason for his
generosity and thoughtfulness in
giving them such a delightful days
outing. They will carry back to Lin
coin the word that Mr.. Gleason is
one "fne gent"
The other members of Miss Reeds
troop were the Swenson Sisters, Miss
Ferne Upton and Kobi, the boy
violinist.

Roosevelt Picture at Divie All Week,

Attendance at the first showing Of
the Roosevelt picture was not what
we anticipated. Such character as
Roosevelt giving the picture Of his
lifeS and authorizing the payment of
his part of the proceeds to the Red
Cross until every American soldier
boy returned home, ought to have
packed the Dixie for every show. The
opening scenes are not of great inter-
est, and it IS only when we get into
the more recent life of the great poli-
tician that the pictures begin to make
us sit up and take notice. Naturally
much of the reel is taken up by sub
titles and explanations, all Of which
are necessary to the picture, and yet
which have & tendency to make 1t a
little dragsy. The picture is at the
Dixie all week. The muse OF the Dixie
remains one of the most attractive tea.
lures of the little house, and the spe-
cial program for the Roosevelt picture
is very much to the good.

Just why such a notable character

strange, but there isn't any dope on
