GERMANS IN POLAND
 IN PITIABLE PLIGHT

Berlin. May 5-Twenty- y-five thou
 sand German civilian functionaries
 who occupied positions in Poland and
 have been deprived of their posts ow-
 ing to transfers of territory, are in
 sore plight. The government, which
 suddenly recalled them gave no
 thought, apparently, to housing such
 a multitude with their wives and fam flies. assigning them to old concen-
 tration camps and barracks. In these quarters, according to
 statements made by some of them now in Berlin, they have to endure all man. ner of hardships and discomforts, among the least of which is the de- privation of their accustomed house. hold belongings.
 The German Civil Servants Union has taken the matter up on their be- half. It has memorialized the gov ernment, demanding a fulfillment of earlier promises that evicted officials should receive preferential treatment. It protests against what it terms the "base ingratitude now shown by the Father1and'' to faithful servants who have now been deprived of their means of livelihood

ALLEGED MURDERER
 OF GIRL IS STILL
 BUILDING OFFICERS
By Assoeiated Press

 | Savannah, Ga, June 1S.-Evading off i cers, posses and trackhounds since Mon day, dodging into the open long enough to buy food. Philip Gathers. a negro charged with the murder of Miss Anza Jaudon. near Ricon, last Friday. is still believed to be somewhere in the swamps of Chatham or Effingham counties to- night
 During the day his capture was seV- eral times reported in Savannah, but each report was found to be incorrect.
 According to officers in the case, the hunted negro was last seen entering the pipe maker swamp, six miles west of Sa- vannah, in Chatham county, after sud denly appearing at a country store and buying a supply of food.
 Because martial law has been estaD- lished in Effingham county and the ac- tivities of the chase had extended into Chatham county, the Savannah homs guards were held at their armory for time tonight and were released tonight, subject to riot call
 During the early evening. report was in circulation that the negro had been captured and was held in the Chatham county jail. Jail officers declined to con- firm the report.

The Versatile Sart


 From the First Mahommedan Repub-
 lic. by Boris l.. T. Roustam Eek, in
 Asia.
 The Sarts compose more than IS per cent of the whole population of the new republic of Turllt stan. The origin of their strange name is unknown though there is a theory that in old I1irdoo sart meant merchant They present a mixture Of Iranian with Tutko- Mongolian types and are char scierized by somewhat heavy swollen faces. Almost all the commerce in the principal towns is in their hands. They are good business men, but slow and absolutely devoid of warlike cour- age. A Sart will undertake any hon. est enterprise for money. His capa- bihties are many. He nurses children is an excellent cook. an expert car penter and cabinet maker He works until he amasses a little money, which he uses either to set himself up in business or else to spend in Cha drinking and gambling in the bazars. If he saves enough money to become a bal rich merchant" there is no limit to his business ingenuity and success. At heart he is sportsman. Tn the home he is a oespot and treats hi5 wife. or wives, and children with harshness. After business his chief pleasure is the bazar. where he can learn the news of the world as 1t is carried into Asia on the lips of the traders, who have earned the name of uzun-Kulak. that is to say, Hong ears ,f the news"
 The Sarts. though honest in busi ness. are notorious hypocrites and liars in their private dealings. All though they are ambitious and pos sess a superficial veneer of pride. they quickly become abjectly subservient in contact with their superiors. This characteristic is the result of iong op- pression undr tyranaical khans and later under despotic Russian officials. -At bottom. however. like all the na- tives of Turkestan. the Sart is a soft hea arted ard honest fellow.

French. Tank War Marriages

And they lived happily ever after!' Fairy stories have ended with this sentence long before the present gem
 eration of French war brides ever heard of Hans Wagner and Douglas Fairbanks. However, according to Walter J. Wood. in the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers' weekly conducted by the former editorial council of the Stars and Stripes, American soldiers who brought French brides back to America may be able to grab the old family albums and scribb ble the fairy tale bromide under the pictures of the
 girls wooed and won in the days of the Hun advance.
 Writing of the life of these TO- mantle couples, he says: Tt will there- fore probably come as quite a shock to some people to know that so far the American soldier and his little overseas wife are getting on quite well-considering all things, extraor- dinarily well, thank you. She stays at home and attends to her own business, does not gossip over the back fence (probably because she can't talk American very we'll yet), smacks her lips in delicious mockery over the great American beverage, water, uses the bath tub regularly, and in short
 does just about what any native-born AHeTlcdH DTlQe WOulu uO, anu QO6S IL all very well.
 And if anybody is disposed to be kypercritical about it, let 1t be said
 that these are figures that speak for
 themselves and for the doughboy's
 imagine that the battlefront of Europe separations, there have been abandon ments, there have been divorces there
 have been all sorts of things that have blighted these war romances.
 There have even been French brides who refused to stay here and eat
 'boche' food and drink prohibition
 cocktails, English brides who couldn't
 accorrdate themselves to American
 manners or lack of- manners. brides
 from Luxemburg who pined for their
 native hills, brides from Italy who
 found the American country and peo-
 pie cold and sunless
 But when all is said and done, it re-
 mains to the everlasting credit of
 these American soldiers. of their alien
 brides, of American neighborliness and
 of human nature in general, that out
 of approximately 5000 of these over
 seas marriages, only 100 have turned
 out to be definitely unhappy in the
 year that followed the tie that binds"

ALEXANDER PRAISES ROGERS HORNSRY

| Rogers Hornsby i3 pronounced the hard
 est hitter in the National League by Grover Cleveland Alexander the premier
 right-hander of the circuit. Quite q | tribute, indeed
 ] l recall when Hornsby was playing ill
 the Western Association. Lee Morris,
 former Pittsburg Collegians infielder, was
 with tfe Tulsa club of the same league,
 and upon his return home one fall he
 said that Hornsby, who then was going up to the St. Louis Cards, was big, l overgrown kid. 'The players in our
 league did not take much stock in him,
 said Morris at the time. "Hornsby IS
 just fair hitter, but every morning he
 is in the ball park practicing to drive the ball. He keeps a bunch of kids running after his hits, and he has kids to pitch
 to him in relays"
 1 That early morning practice evidently
 did not do him any harm. and it makes it more apparent that any ball player blessed with good eyes and strong arms. particularly wrists, plus nerves, can learn to to hit.
 "Hornsby is the greatest hitter have ever had to face" said Alexander after
 his defeat by St. Louis. II have tried to fool him every way possible, but it
 just cannot be done. Personally. I do not think more skilled man ever steppei
 to the plate. He is set for everything you throw him, and he times slow balls, fast balls and change of pace in way that makes a fellow scratch his head wondering what to do. They can talk about Babe Ruth in the American League; he may hit farther than Horns by, but he won't get as many in the season and does not look them over a 1 bit better at the plate''-Richard Guy, Sporting Editor Pittsburg Leader.

There is a master touch about all of the new models, but with all of their chic they radiate an element of com
 fort and simplicity, in most instan- ces. There are practically no frock5 among the new offerings which the home dressmaker can not duplicate with perfect success.
 One of the new cottons is called ra- tine crash and it is used for the de velopment of garments for sturdy wear, such as suits, separate skirts, etc. It comes in black and white mixtures and other delightful combin- ations and is sufficiently decor ative in | pc ttern to require no contrasting ma te ial for trimming with the exception | of a vest.
