From Lesterville Ledger

Lac: Sunday was an ideal picnic
day and to this fact much is due for
the success of the firemen's picnic
which was held in Wagner's park dur
ing the afternoon. The program of
sports was carried out according to the
advertised schedule with the exception
of the foot race which had no entries.
The horseshoe game was a match be-
tween Rudolp Broel and Joe Kudrna
and Gust Schumacher and Andrew
Schempp. Broel and Kudrna won to'o
straight games from their opponents.
The boys potato race had number of
entries and was very close and in
teresting contest.
The ball game between Utica and
Scotland was called about four o clock
and was mighty good game. Both
teams battled for several innings be.
fore score was secured. Utica got
the first score and they settled down
again to real base ball until finally the
Scotland team went up in the air with
the result that Utica reaped four more
scores. After this Scotland put q
new pitcher in the box and Utica was
cut off from further scoring. The re-
suit Of the game was to score
| in favor of Utica.

The victory of the Poles in their
counter offensive against the Russian
troops that were beeieging Warsaw.
calls for heartv congratulations from
most of the Americans.
There has been some criticism of
Poland for pushing the fight beyond
the limits Of independent Poland as
fixed By the peace commission, and
when the Poles were driven back to
Warsaw, and had apparently been
hopelessly defeated it was felt that
she had brought disaster upon herself.
From the Polish standpoint the situa-
tion looks very different. They were
convinced that the Soviet government
of Russia was planning to ,ubjugate
all of the new states, including Ukra.
MIA, Lithuania, Letvia and Esthonia,
and then concentrate their force upol,
Poland. The league of nations was
appealed to for assistance, but nc
promise Of help was received. Ukra-
MIA then proposed an alliance between
that country and Poland, and it wae
formed Poland's invasion into Rus
sia was in fulfllment of thst alliance,
and to aid Ukrania which was being
hard pressed. Ukrania has been as.
sisting Poland in her emergency, ani
it may be that Poland owes her recent
success in some measures to this ALI.
snce. A. an; rate. the members Of
the league Of nations are not in posi-
tion to criticize Poland after thu
league had failed to funrtion.

 and . haM off Seabr1ght, M. J. A The wind had hauled to the west ward, letting the yachts up so that they nearly pointed for the turning mark.
 After having broken out their baby jib topsails, both shippers in a hunch for a better breeze took them in again and broke out larger topsails in their places. The yachts stood along at an even keel and there was hardly any quartering wave as they moved along the Jersey coast.
 It turned out to be typical cup race day. after all, with flat sea and dead air. In the handling of the ,headsails, Resolute's crew showed to advantage over the sailors of the challenger.
 The Resolute did not take in her baby jib until about 30 seconds after Shamrock had done so but the Amer lean skipper was able to break out his larger jib topsail nearly a minute be- fore their crew could get theirs up Behind the yachts on both sides of the racing lane steamed the excur- sion fleet in serried lines. A diver sion of the afternoon race was the grounding of an aerial naval cruiser bearing some spectators. The plane went ashore on sand flat at the l mouth of the Shrewsbury river.

New York, July 5-Heaviness of oils, equipments and transportations at the outset of today's stock market foreshadowed a continuance of yes terday's professional selling move -ment. Prospects of higher money rates as a result of extensive treasury withdrawals contributed to the markets dull and irregular opening.
 Trading lapsed after the. first half hour. Announcement that the Ger mans had yielded to latest terms of the allies imparted moderate firm ness to British exchange. The market became more active toward noon but almost entirely at the expense of values. Shippings and oils were un- der special pressure. Rails also dropped. Call money was unchang ed at 8 per cent.

GERMANS WILL DELIVER COAL
 AS DEMANDED

Spa, July 1.-The Germans have agreed to the Allied demand for d. livery of 100000 tons of coal monthly with three new conditions, it Is announced.
 The German acceptance was em- bodied in a note which was laid be- fore the Allied premters today by Premier Lloyd George. The .cordi- tioBs were:
 First -. The German government shall have the distribution of the Si- lesian coal, or be allotted 1,5n0,U00 tons monthly for northern Germany instead Of the present allotment of
 100000 tons.
 Second A mixed commission shall be sent to Essen to examine food and housing conditions. Third-The Allies are asked to ad- vance money or provide credit for i'm porting additional food for the .entire German population.
 Simons said that the German nin- istry had gone to the utmost limit and could do nothing more, so that if the Allied military leaders, Marshal Focr and Field Marshal Wilson still wanted an invasion of Germany they mus have it. In a personal letter to Lloyd George Simons asked that Lloyd George an6 Millerand help Germany to fulfill hel r obligations by doing three things: By allowing Germany the casF 1 difference between the price of coa I at the pit mouth in Germany and ths | price of coal on the worlds market. By making a generous arrange ment with regard to shipment. 3--By giving Germany some secur 1 ity or assurance against the menact l of invasion if she should at any time 1 be a little behind in her deliveries. Paris, July 15.-The German accept
 ance of the allied demand for 2,o0o, ,0ot
 tons of coal monthly, says a Haval
 despatch from Spa, was so wrapped
 up with conditions as to make it {
 subject for caution.''
 l The Echo De Paris takes another view, however, saying:
 The German acceptance is not sur
 rounded with too many reservation
 and counter demands and is being SC
 iously considered"
