GGT1HE TRENCH OF THE

GG'HE TRENCH OF THE
BAYONETS," one OF
the most elaborate me-
MORALS in France and the gift
of the late George F. Rand OF
Buffalo, N. Y, was dedicated
Dec. at Verdun, with cere-
monies attended by President
Millerand and other French
leaders.
THE Tranchee des Baionettes,"
as II Is kn6wn throughout
France, is probably the most
impressive reminder of the hor-
rors of war remaining to-day.
During the siege of Verdun the
explosion of a German shell
buried a number OF soldiers,
killing them instantly, theirC
bayonetS alone remaining above
the earth, and to-day they stand
there. in mute evidence OF the
disaster. The monument has
been built over the trench to
protect and preserve it eter-
nally.
In May, 1919, Mr.. Rand visited
the spot and was 30 impressed
that he Immediately offered the
monument TO the French Gov
ernment. 1t was accepted grate-
fully but on the return trip
from Paris TO London by air
plane Mr.. Rand was killed. His
son, George F. Rand jr. knew OF
his wishes and continued the
} work. He was present at the
dedication with his two sisters.

According to Lajoie. the catcher

the pitcher thru code of signals.

Instructions had been issued by the
communists fixing the date of the
revolution for Saturday afternoon,
March 10. Groups were assigned to
destroy public services, electric
lights and water plants. railroads,
telephones and telegraphs and 9TH
ers were assigned to explode bombs
in public places, seize military stores
and assassinate judges and police Of
f1cers. The plotters planned TO place
the city under control Of a Central
Soviet Committee"
Being fully aware of all these
plans, the government authorities on
the night before the date set for the
revolution stationed troops at all
places threatened. The police then
raided the communist plants and
captured a complete bomb factory
and q large assortment of arms and
ammunition.
All was done quietly but the peo-
pie of Buenos Aires soon realized
that they had escaped a real danger

Lajoie Says Catchers
Can Help Pitchers

Altho he is out OF baseball. Larry
Lajoie, former star batsman Of the
American League, is having n lot OF
fun watching the major league hurl-
ers trying to cut out the freak de-
livery, as per orders Of the powers
at their big session early this year.
Lajoie has not been heard to speak
his mind on the matter directly. but
he did state recently that major
league managers placed entirely too
much Importance to pitching and not
enough to the catching department.
The big Frenchman says he wants
to be thoroughly understood as be-
ing in favor of first class pitching.
but the catcher Is the real main
spring of any ball club. after ALL"
said Larry. because he corresponds
to the quarterback on football
team"
Lajoie was in a reminiscent mood.
He recited some Of the wonderful
pitching accomplishments of Cy
Young, and then asked how many
of those wonderful games Cy would
have annexed had 1t not been for the
work Of Chief thinner and OConnor.

Bobby couldn't meet the sharp
puffy eyes. He alone was capable OF

been removed as If to secrete it from
his unlawful hand. Yet If he spoke
he would prove the district attor-

He walked to the bed and searched

"Just as I thought. Nothing. He
told me he was preparing a report.

Again Bobby wondered If the man
would bring matters to a head now.
He could appreciate, however. that
Robinson with nothing to go on but
Howells' telephoned suspicious,
might spoil his chances of soh-
ton, by acting too hastily. Rawlins
strolled in.

said. 1.-THE old man knows nothing
beyond the fact that he heard a

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, May s.--Iowa's base
ball and track teams are resting on
their honors after week end OF
successful competition with state
and mid -western teams. The dia-
mond artists tied a l4-inning game
with Purdue 1 to In a game fea-
tured by wonderful pitching on the
part of McIlree, Hawkeye twirler,
and defeated Illinois 4 to 8 in a SEN
sational 13-inning encounter of which
Captain Hamilton. pitcher, was the
star. Against Illinois, Hamilton al
lowed only five hits in thirteen in
nings, while the Ashmores We're
gathering twelve blows Off the coTs-
bined delivery of Ryan, the Illinois
captain, and Haikel. who relieved
him in the box. McIlree struck out
sixteen Purdue men In the game
against the Boilermakers.
On the track Iowa overwhelmed
Drake by a score of 116 to 20. Drew,
in the dashes, made half of brakes
points by taking first place both in
the 100 and 220 dashes. For the
most part Drake was out OF the run
ming. Jack Watson's athletes cop
ped every point in seven events, not
counting the relays.
Fair weather during the current
week will do much to improve the
play Of the baseball squad, which is
sadly in need of practice. Weather
conditions have been very unfavor-
able all spring. and several days Of
hard work in the open will be re-
quired to get the team in good con-
dition for the Series of two games
with Indiana, which will be played
at Bloomington next Friday and Sat-
urday.
