GERMAN CRITIC AIRS
 FAULTS OF AMERICA
Says J. s. Morals Are Poor But
 Are We'll Concealed

Cologne, Nov. 17.-German morals are just as good as American morals, but the Americans are more success frl in eoncealing their lapses, accord Ing to Dr. Paul Rohrbach, who re- gently completed a tour of America and is contributing a series of articles to the Cologne Gazette on his impress sions of the new world. Dr. Rohrbach says the impression which is general Tn Germany that moral standards are higher in the United States than in Germany is quite erroneous, as the American morality is only on the sur face, and that when one digs down he finds things as black as in Europe.
 Dr. Rohrbach says American cities do not permit any large sections to be given over entirely to the social evil and to dubious amusements of various sorts, such as are common now in all European capitals. and especially in Berlin, in consequence of widespread distress and general decline in public morals.
 Co-education does not seem to have been as successful in America as had pNfiN hSb'b loit d'IoloihS io pis Rohrbach. who says American cduca- tors told him the automobile is ma chine designed to destroy morals.
 Dr. Rohrhach was startled by read ing typical American novels in which the state of morals among the Amer ican middle class is unveiled. such as Main Street" Rabbit" and Upton Sinclair's Book of Lie" But he does not believe these books give fair picture of the life Of the average American.
 The high coloring Of American women and the frankncss with which they produce their vanity box in pub lie and renew their complexion amused nr. Rohrbach, but he found that women were not so much painted in circles where music and the higher things of life arc given moro consid- sration. He found that women lead in public affairs, but heard number of American men complain about the amount Of attention paid 10 women.

POLICE THWART PLOT
 AIMED AT SLOVAKS
Dismissed and Active Civil Servants Are Found in Conspiracy to Wreck
 Cxeciioslo,ak Government

Prague, Nov. 1.-The police of Bratisava, the capital of SIovakia, re- gently discovered plot in which, they 1 said, q group of men had joined to- l gether for the purpose of removing" q number Of prominent Slovak and 1 Czech politicians, including several members of the Czechoslovak govern
 ment. At the head of the conspiracy. 1 the police said, was Augustin Caderna. secretary general of the so-called "Slovensky ochranny syaz.' nation- al union for the defense of Slovakia's autonomy created under the auspices
 of the SoVak Peoples party. Caderna had gained for the plot number of
 adherents, mostly dismissed or active
 civil servants, Hungarians and Mag
 yarophiles.
 Cadernas organization was sub-
 divided into three groups. The first consisted of six men, who. like Cad erna, had some sort of higher educa- tion. They were to decide who were to be removed and when and where the acts were to be performed. The second, the so-called executive group" was composed of desperadoes. chiefly individuals who had been pun ished for severe crimes. These men were to carry out the plots matched by the first group. The third section constituted the spies. who were to ob- tain all the details concerning the per- sons marked for removal.
 When the plot was thwarted, &C., cording to evidence gathered by the police, the first group had actually held counsel from September 3 to 10 in Caderna's lodging about the execu- ton of the first 10 on the black list. The plot, it was said, was about to be handed over to the executive group. Caderna and the other ring-leaders were surprised at a nocturnal meet ing and placed under arrest Search is being continued for the other acs

C0NY T0SSERS WIN
over GARDINER AZ
FIELDING IS LOOSE
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Gardiner June 3-Gardiner was
defeated by its old time rival Cony
by score of A. in a fast game at
Quimby Field Saturday afternoon.
Although the up-river lads have
shown much superiority over other
teams, they did not win the contest
easily. The defeat was due to nu-
rerous errors in the infield. and lack
of experience of the Gardiner aggre-
cation. The star of the game was
Jim Davidson. who pitched circles
around Rideout Of Cony. allowing
only three hits and two walks. He
retired Is batsmen to the bench.
double that of the Cony hurler, but
the support given him was very
poor. thus allowing Cony to score.
Hayden scored the first run for
Cony in the second inning on a wild
throw over third; he also scored
again in the fourth on errors. Gardi-
ner scored in the sixth when Nc
Curdy was given a free ticket to first
and he scored on a single by Nc
Namara. Spearin sacrificed Nc
Namare to third. Then Rose placed
a pretty single over second. scoring
Mcnamara for the second run. Nc
Namara and Rose played well for
Gardiner; also Hughes and Merrill
for Cony. The summary:
