CRICKET IS POPULAR GAME
Interest In Baseball Not So Strong In
Old London.

London.-[By Mail.]-JHterest in
American baseball here which was
stimulated in the last two years by a
number of young Americans in Lon
don. is beginning to die out by the
revival of enthusiasm for cricket
the national pastime.
Nearly two hundred cricket clubs
were doing booming business in
London alone today Though the
sport has not approached its pre- war
status, preparations that are now go
ing on tend to indicate that baseball
will stand little chance to compete
with it for public approval. Many
objections to cricket have been met
with changes and further consider
alton is being given to suggestions
that the games be shortened.
In addition to the numerous teams
in London, each county possesses
one or more teams The government
is also considering a request from a
number of prominent cricketers that in
every town in Britain plot of land
he purchased by the government to
be used for cricket.

Sometimes when books are scarce
men become peculiarly attached to a

up near Chateau Thierry, during the

three pounds.

transports has proved so great that
the A. L. A. is finding it necessary to
increase the size of the libraries
abroad to one book for everv man. :.
All transports are being supplied
with books at American ports. as no
books can be released from France,
in view of the rapid rate at which the
present stock overseas is wearing out.
Half a million volumes of fresh gift
fiction are needed for the use of the
men on the way back to America.
The public library is receiving gifts
of books for immediate shipment to

Pierre. S. D., May 23.-Buried treas
ure, said to amount to more than
s6,000,G00 in gold, is being sought here
by man who gave the city authori-
ties the name of s. Schweitzer, and
who is seeking permit from the city
authorities to begin digging within
the city limits for the millions he is
certain lies hidden within a certain
area. '
SchweitZer came here from Cripple
Greek, Colo, where he learned of the
hidden treasure. In support of his
contention, Mr.. Schweitzer has a clip
ping from newspaper, published in
the early sixties, which tells the story
OF party of miners from the Black
Hills who were rafting more than
$6,000,000 in gold down the river when
attacked by party of Indians.
The miners landed, according to
Schweitzer, and buried their wealth
within the present city limits of
Pierre. The Indians killed all of the
party of miners. City authorities
have given Schweitzer permission to
begin his digging operation as soon
as he desires.

Washington. May 22.-The various
companies which write workmen's
compensation and employers liabil-
ity insurance have assured the fed
eral board for vocational education
that it is their opinion that the re-
employment of the disabled men
coming out of the army and navy
will not affect the premium rates
for workmen's compensation and
liability insurance. Prospective en-
ployers, therefore, are assured that
by taking disabled, re-educated men
in their shops and works will not
be the means of causing raise in
rates from the various casualty COM
panies. These assurances have been
received from practically every COM
pany in the United States writing
employers liability insurance.
The same stand was taken by the
liability insurance companies of
England three years ago when the
matter of placing the returned dis
abled soldiers was before the author
tiles in Great Britain, and in a
preliminary conference held in
Washington in 1918 informal as
surances were given the joint COM
mittees on education of the house
and senate by representatives of the
casualty companies that the Amer.
lean companies would most likely
follow the precedent set by the
British companies. and in this way
