Democrats Pose
Before Elephant
For Their.Picture

Champ Clark can't understand
why a galaxy OF Democratic party
stars should permit themselves to
be photographed with a g. o. p.
elephant for q background.
In the basement Of the Shoreham
Hotel stands a highly ornamental
screen with the likeness of an
elephant worked thereon In gold.
This was the background selected
BY a photographer with a sardonic
sense OF humor when he posed q
dozen or so prominent Democrats
yesterday.
r Champ Clark, late for the snap
shot party, found his associates all
grouped in front Of Jumbo" He
started to protest, but on second
thought paced himself in front of
"Jumbo's" head. and thereby
spoiled what appeared to be a
mighty fine campaign Joke.

There was just a hint of yielding
on the part OF the President when
the chairman read the following
from his letter:
II have endeavored to make 1t
plain that II the Senne wishes to
say what the undoubted meaning
OF the league II, shall have NO oh

This looked encouraging to those
who are in favor of a compromise,
until this passage was reached:
"but when the treaty is acted
upon. I must know whether IL
means that we have ratified or re-
jected II. We eannot rcwrfte this
treaty. We must tnke 1t without
changes which alter its meaning,

peace with Germany. But no mere

came to an absolute parting of the

SINN FEN COURTS -
TRY CIVIL CASES

Dublin, July 27-The Sim Feiners
have established judicial system for
Ireland composed of parish courts,
district courts and a court of final ap-
peal.
All judges have to take the oath of
allegiance to Dial Eireann, and all
litigants must agree not to submit to
any enemy tribunal any matters ! on
which the Republican courts may pro
nounce decision. The judges of the
parish courts receive one pound a day
for expenses and the district judges
two pounds. The costs of the courts
are provided out of deposits collected
from litigants.
The council of the Irish Bar has de-
cided that it is professional midcon-
duct for member of the bar to APP
pear before any of these courts: but
there are many Irish barristers willing
to appear for suitable fee before the
Republican courts.
The government treats all these
courts in civil matters as really arbi-
trations with which they are not con-
cerned. But in criminal matters they
are regarded as illegal and persons
punished by them are entitled to the
protection of the police.

GERMANS HATE
ARMY OFFICERS
UNFRAMED FOR USEFUL WORK LOT
OF FORMER KAISER'S CAPTAINS is
HARD ONE.
{sy Associated Press.1


Berlin, July 26.-No one in Germany
signs more fervently for the good old
days of the kaiser than the former
army officer. Forced off the govern
ment payroll by the reduction O. the
army, unframed for work other than
soldering. and so generally disl:ked by
the population that he has difficulty
in finding any kind of employment, the
officers lot in democratic Germany is
a hard one. His pre-war world, in
which he strutted about as the privi-
legged pet of his emperor, has been ut
terly destroyed.
Many have been reduced to extreme
financial straits. The middle-aged ex-
officer gets pension of $500 marks a
year, but that is only about a fifth of
the amount required to maintain a
family. So urgent is their need that a
movement has been set on foot to form
an ex- officers' association for the pur-
pose of inducing the government to
provide them with land and subsidies.
A former officer, dolefully discussing
with the correspondent the plight of
himself and his fellows, remarked that
the expression once current in the
United States: There's no good Indian
but a dead Indian" applied precisely
nowadays to the German public's at
titude toward the officer class.
Private soldiers bear out this state
ment. AT the beginning of the war"

their officers, who ate the same food,
carried their own packs, and shared
the hardships of the men. But most
