EAGLE CAUGHT
ON RIVER

New Hope Last Tuesday "Skip"
Scarborough, fisherman, captured
one of the largest eagles ever seen in
this vicinity. The bird was found
roosting on the rocks and seemed to
be suffering from some illness, for
it was easily caught by throwing a
cloth over its head. 1t measures six
feet and six inches from tip to tip of
the wings. 1t has been placed in a
cage in the rear of the Solebury Nat
ional Bank for exhibition.
The eagle evidently is of the species
Chrysaetus, or Golden eagle, for it
answers the description of dark, twany
brown, with tuft about the head and
neck which shows yellow in the sun
light, thus differing from the So
called "bald eagle" 1t made meal
from a fish given it after its capture,
which might, as some suggest, indie
ate that it is "sea eagle" But it is
too large for a sea eagle, and all
eagles eat raw flesh of any kind.

Where they play Satnrda,

MY P'oJ
Lambertville at BARRIERS.
DeLaval at A. B. Co.
Bash and Wilsonville at Morgan Field.
The Local team went down to defeat
at the hands of the Bash Club of
Trenton here last Saturday. 1t was
an unlucky day for Lambertville, as
the breaks were against them from
start to finish. 1t was not the play
ers' fault altogether, but the hand of
fate. As you went about town Satur-
day night, it reminded you of the
story known to all ball players to-
day a hero, but after a misplay to-
morrow, he's bum.
Lambertville fans evidently forget
that the players were ever good. or
at least ever played a good game.
Because some of the players put
up star game once in while, the
fans think they should do it all the
time. They wouldn't be with Lambert
vile long if they could. They would
demand salaries Manager Patterson
could not pay, or go to professional
clubs.
Cifelli's all-round work featured
the home team, while Glasco was the
fielding star for Bash. Davis and
Kuhn lead the batting.

W.. AMWELL PLANS
ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The West Amwell Township Com
mittee at last Saturdays meeting at
Mt. Airy, considered a plan for the
improvement of the approach to the
leading from Mt. Airy Church to
Alexauken Creek bridge on the road
Harbourton. 1t is expected that it
will be undertaken soon.
Already the Committee has a good
ly quantity of stone on hand at the
site, and the grading will not take
long with county assistance. The
bridge was built several years ago
to replace an old wooden structure
that had about collapsed, and it is
of concrete, arched.
Ever since the completion of the
bridge the approach at the Mt. Airy
end has been dangerous, being To-
Gated on sharp curve. 1t is planned
to eliminate this.

More Fighting in Silesia.
BY EDWARD w. PickARD.

Another of those sudden and ter
rible race conflicts which make all de-
cent Americans blush with shame oc-
CURED last week, this time in Tulsa,
Okla. Before the state troops that
were called to assist the police had
restored order at least thirty per-
sons had been killed, hundreds had
been wounded and the negro quarter
of the city was in ashes. More than
5000 negroes were rendered home
less and the property damage was es-
timated to be in excess of a million
and a half dollars.
AS so often is the case, the riots
were due to an attack on a white girl
by negro. The offender was arrest
ed and then someone started the ru-
NOR that he was to be lynched. Sew
eral hundred armed blacks gathered
about the courthouse and Jail, and one
of them was killed by police officer.
That started the fighting, and within
a few hours the city had become an
armed camp. Both whites and blacks
looted the stores for guns, and the
negroes entrenched themselves in,
their quarter. An army of whites
soon began the invasion of that region
and, driving back the blacks, set fire
to the buildings rs they advanced.
Men, women and children were shot
down mercilessly as they fled from
their burning homes. Three local
units of the Oklahoma National Guard
were ordered out by the governor, and
they, with the help of the police and
members of the American Legion, at
last succeeded in controlling the sit
uation. They were able to protect
the business and railroad districts
from further destruction, but the
"black belt" was a smoking ruin.
The same old cries of "Shame!"
will be heard, and Tulsa will be thor
oughly scolded for this shocking af-
fair; but the same causes will bring
about the same results ever and again,
almost anywhere in the United States,
and the wisest social economists do
not know where the remedy lies.

R. R. WAGE
~ ~ I REDUCTION

The federal railway labor board has
announced the wage reduction that
goes into effect on July 1, when the
national agreements are abrogated
The average wage cut is to be IL per
cent and this eventually will reduce
the pay rolls of the 104 roads affected
by $400,O0O,000 a year. The board
in its decision sets up new uniform
wage scales for all groups of employ
ees, and these will later apply to every
road In the country. The abrogation
of the national agreements, 1t is be-
lieved, may save the roads an addi-
tional $300,000,000 yearly. In labor
circles 1t had been feared greater
wage reduction would be ordered by
the board s@hence it is predicted the
action may arouse little open oppo-
sition. The chiefs of the railway
unions reserved comment.
The day after the boards ruling
was made public President Harding
surprised the interstate commerce
commission by calling at its office for
a conference on freight rate reduc-
ton, which he deems of vital impor-
lance in the restoration of business.
He made clear his desire in this line,
but 1t was evident that he would have
to overcome strong opposition. The
cabinet agrees with the President that
prohibitive transportation rates large
" account for the stagnation of bust
ness and the continued high price of
the necessities of life.
Chairman Clark of the interstate
commerce commission and Senator
Cummins, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce. agree,
however, with the railroad executives,
who contend that rates cannot be re-
duced generally until 1t has been
proved that railroad expenses can be
cut to point assuring an adequate
return on the investment.

GIRLS WANTED
FOR NURSES

America is 100000 short in nurses.
In every branch where the profession
al services of a nurse are needed there
is shortage. The situation, which is
declared by physicians and others to
be alarming, has attracted country
wide attention and national organi-
cations have joined in the movement
to attract to the standard young wo-
men who are amply qualified for the
training necessary to assuming the
tasks.
Philadelphia and vicinity has al
ready entered the national movement
by forming the Council for Nursing
Education of Southeastern Pennsyl-
vania. The council has it's headquar-
tiers at 218 South Nineteenth ST..
where all information may be obtain
ed, and in addition has started sever
al field movements.
Through lursing, young women,
particularly high school graduates al
tho others who have the equivalent in
education or experience are welcome,
have chance to enter profession in
which the opportunities are unlimited
and in which, also, there is no competi-
ton, because there is such lack of
skilled women to meet the require
ments that there is room for all. 1t is
one profession where there is no COM
petition from men, because there are
few of that sex in the ranks.
Students in training schools have
virtually no financial requirements
with living and tuition provided. Prac-
teal work, which gives the most sat
isfaction, is entered into almost i'm
mediately and courses are thorough
and broad.
On graduation no expensive equip
ment is required and there is none of
the heart-breaking search for a suit
able position which usually faces the
newcomer in the professional world.
The positions seek the individual.
Besides the opportunities furnished
at home the world at large has many
ways in which it needs trained nurses.
Appeals for nurses to be pioneers in
organizing and establishing mission
hospitals and schools of nursing are
constantly being received, and there
is never surcease of the calls for wo-
men who are prepared and willing to
demonstrate to the people of foreign
countries that the doctrnd of ian
equal chance for equal health is prac-
teal.

BIG FIRE AT
WILLOW GROVE

A building of the Philadelphia Rap
id Transit Co. directly opposite the
trolley sheds at Willow Grove, caught
fire Monday night at 1890. The build
ing was filled and surrounded with
inflamable materials and painting
supplies, and it was feared for time
that the fire would spread to the
structures in the park. This fear was
increased when it was found that the
water supply was low. But with the
aid of Glenside, Jenkintown, McKin-
ley, Hatboro and Horsham, the fire
was gotten under control by 11.30.
Although the paint shop and ma
terials surrounding it were complete
ly destroyed, it was considered fortu-
nate that the flames did not spread
to the flimsy amusement structures
inside the park.

GERMANY ABLE
TO PAY

Chancellor Wirth apparently is de-
ternined to force Germany to fulfill
her obligations to the allies. In a
speech before the reichstag he set
forth the economic rules and policies
through which, he believes, the Ger
man nation can pay its debts and yet
maintain economic stability and in
dependence. He intends not only to
keep up with the payments as they
fall due, but to keep ahead of them.
THE sums to be paid in repara-
TONS" he declared, "can be extract
ed only by creating an economic bal
ance. We must increase our produc-
ton and reduce our expenses to the
utmost in our manufactures. We
must limit all imports, especially luxu-
ries, as far as possible through customs
tax measure. To this end we should
have sovereignty over our customs
borders.
Agriculture must be brought to its
highest capacity, Systematically. AMI
mails must be replaced by motors, saw
ing fodder. Acreage must be increased,
and the cultivation of swamps and
deserts must be undertaken at the
earliest moment, thus providing work
for those out of employment The
sword has been broken. We must
work"
The chancellor foreshadowed a high
er corporation tax, bourse tax, an
inheritance tax, landed property tax
and a tax on certain securities, In adj
dition to an increase in direct taxes.
Before the congress of the Com
munist party in Moscow Premier
Lenin laid his economic program,
which was supported by Minister of
Agriculture Miliutin and approved by
the gathering, The policy as outlined
includes:
1. Collection from the peasants of
fixed amount of grain by a system Of
tax In kind, estimated by Miliutin to
amount to about one-third of the crop.
The other two-thirds of the crop is to
remain at the disposal of the peasant
for grading through the newly restored
co-operatives, whose power is to be ex-
tended.
2. Retention in the hands of the
state of the largest industries and
means of transportation, particularly
the leather, salt and textile industries.
These latter are turning out manu-
featured goods now most needed by
the peasants. They are to be speeded
up in order to satisfy the peasants
needs. and the workmen are to be en-
couraged by bonus system and other
inducements which will increase pro-
duction. Supervision is to be under
the trade unions, who will fix the rates
of pay instead of the government as
heretofore.
8. Encouragement of small and me-
dunn co-operatives and private indus
tries. Factories will be leased to these
smaller industries, and even financial
assistance will be given. The trades
unions will fix wages.

AIR LAWS NEEDED

Aviation-iff- America is hard hit by
disaster and economies. The country
was shocked by the accident near
Washington In which an army plane,
caught in q fierce electrical storm, was

killed. The victims included several
aviation officers and former Congress-
man Maurice Connolly. Blame for the
accident, if there is any, is hard to

Establishment of altitude observation
stations would do much to avert sim
liar disasters.

for the army and navy maneuvers in
Chesapeake bay were taking place,

POLES AND GERMANS
BREAK TRUCE

The Poles and Germans In Upper
Silesia did not observe their truce for
many hours. The Germans renewed
the attacks and the fighting has been
continuous ever since, despite the eff
forts of the allied plebiscite forces,
which have been reinforced by a body
of British troops. In general the Poles
seem to be getting the worst of the
fighting, for the Germans were well
organized secretly and are fully armed.
There was a serious outbreak in Beu-
then, where the German inhabitants
attacked the French garrison. The
latter used tanks with deadly effect
and routed the Germans. killing many.
With the arrival of the British forces
it appeared likely that Korfanty's in
surgent Poles would be driven out of
much of the disputed territory which
they had seized.
