torney General Palmer holding it to
be the "lawful Guty" Of the internal

WOMEN DECLARE
TREATY CONDEMNS
100000 GERMANS
Poverty, Disease and De-
spair Will Follow Hun
Acceptance.

Paris, Monday, May 14.-The fin
ancial and economic terms of the
treaty with Germany condemn 100,-
100000 people in Central Europe ''to
poverty disease and despair" &C
cording to the text of the communica-
ton sent to the peace conference by
the women's international confer
ence for permanent peace at Zurich.
The United States is declared to have
Is delegates at the conference at
which is countries are represented.
The text Of the communication made
public today follows:
"This international congress of wo-
me, expresses deep regret that the
terms OF peace proposed at Versailles
should so seriously violate the prin-
ciples upon which alone a just and
lasting peace can be secured and
which the democrats of the world
should come to expect. By guarantee
ing the fruits of secret treaties to
the corGuerors, the terms Of peace
have Jacitly sanction secret diploma
cy, denied the people of self-deter-
n,ination, recognized the rights of
the victors to the spoils and created
all over Europe, discords and animosi-
ties which can only lead to future
wars.
BY demanding disarmament from
one set of beligerents only the prin-
ciple OF justice is violated and the rule
OF force is continued. By the finan-
cial and economic proposals 100000
600 people of this generation in the
heart OF Europe are condemned to
poverty, disease and despair, which
must result in the spread of hatred
and anarchy within each nation.
With deep sense of responsible
ity this congress strongly urges the
allied governments to bring the
peace treaty into harmony with these
principles first enuniciated by Presi-
dent Wilson upon the faithful carry
ing out of which the honor of the al
lied people depends"
The communication was proposed
by Mrs. Philip Snowden of England,
and was seconded by Miss Jeanette
Rankin, former member of the U. S.
Congress from Montana. 1t was ap-
proved unanimously by the women's
conference at which Is countries are
represented. America has 25 dele
gates at Zurich and rGeat Britain %.

HIGH Will PLAY
SHOPS FOR CITY
CHAMPIONSHIP
Three Game Series Will Be
Staged Next Week at the
Athletic Field.

pionship of the city will be played
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of

80 cents, entities the holder to all
three games. Gate admission will be
twenty five cents for each game. The
receipts of the three games will go
toward the Hi athletic fund, the shop
boys generously donating their share
of the receipts.
All games will begin at 5 o'clock.
Coach Rassett announced last night
= that he would probably play in the
game, tlat being agreeable to the
Cotton Belt. His appearance in the
game next week will be the first since
about five years ago, when a long,
slim, red headed lad who pitched for
an organization known as the Cow
boys persisted in beaning him. At
that, the shop boys may have occasion
to regre. letting the coach in the
game. He has bad habit of stopping
hard ones, and is given to hitting
'em where they amt Sorrells will
probably be used in the outfield when
not pitching.
On Saturday, May "a, following
the city series, the High School will
end its season when they will play
two return games with Little Rock
High School in Little Rock. The team
from up the river hung two defeats

easily at 6-1, 60. Noshell's ground
strokes were splendid and he had no
trouble in passing Tilden when the
latter rushed in to the net for an at :
tempted block. But the Brooklyn man
wore himself out in winning the first
two sets. As soon as the second set
began it was apparent that he was in
bad condition. TEden took advantage
of this situation and had no trouble in
