CHARLES COUNTY WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP.

The Bel Alton Dodge ball team COW
cred themselves and Charles County with
glory last Friday when in the State
Olympiad at Homewood Field, Baiti-
more, they met and defeated all comers
and brought the State Dodge Ball Cham
pionship medals to Charles County.
There were fifteen county champion
ship teams entered and it took five hard
played games for the Bel Alton boys to
eliminate all competitors.
The close score tells the story of well
and pluclcily fought games, and in almost
every instance the local boys came from
behind and won out in the last inning.
The teams in the order played and
scores follow:
Bel Alton VS.. Allegheny. 10 to ..
Bel Alton VS.. Worcester, IL to 10.
tBel Alton VS.. Anne Arundel, to 4.
Bel Alton VS. St. Mary's, IL to o.
Bel Alton VS.. Washington, 10 to 8.
sin the game with Anne Arundel, Bel
Alton put all the opposing team out of
the ring with so much time to spare
that the referee awarded them the game
The boys, under the direction of that
popular anu cilClciit dt1lctet MI. AHOiilds
McDonagh, left Bel Alton Thursday
afternoon in cars loaned by local citi-
zens and spent the night at the Balti-
more Y. NJ, c. A., going out to Home
wood field and victory Friday morning.
Their victory over the Statewide
dodgeball teams is the more creditable
when ii is considered that they were out
sized and outweighed by all their OPP
ponents. and the last contender they van
pushed was team picked from school
of SIX hundred pupils. The new cham
pions came from i two-room school with
a total enrolment Of sixty-three pupils
The following boys composed the reg
ular team and substitutes: Robert NAL

BY CHARLES P. STEWART

France having made good her threat
to try hurry ing up payment Of her
war claims by seizure of German
territory, state of affairs exists
in Europe which may end in any
one of good many different kinds
of trouble.
For instance, revolution in Ger
many wouldn't surprise anybody.
Any government which permits tle
country it rules to be invaded by a
foreign powers troops is bound to
be blamed, This furnishes discon-
tented clements with chance to
grab at control. On one hand, the
German "reds" might attempt it. On
the other hand, the royalists might.
Or the Russians might think it an
opportune time to try to gain some
advantage.
The little entente" consisting Of
new, war-formed countries in east
ern Europe, is source of uneasl-
ness. In fact, it's understood their
premiers are about to meet at Bel
grade to adopt plan, similar to
Frances, against Hungary.
Italy, just on general principles,
is so uneasy that Premier Mussolini
has ordered a partial mobilization.
Trouble in western and central
Europe by distracting attention from
the turbulent Near East, makes
Turkey very independent.
The very face that IT'S impossible
to tell what may happen, or where,
only adds to the feeling of anxiety.
London and Washington disap-
prove strongly Of what France has
done.
It isn't That there's any sympathy
at either of these capitals with Ger
many. They both consider that if
the Germans are able to pay, they
ought to be compelled to do it. But
they regard it as at least very
doubtful if doubtful if Germany is
able to do SO. Just as they were
hoping the world was going to settle
down, with some prospects of a re-
turn to "normalcy", they're much
dissatisfied by Frances refusal to
abandon policy calculated to up
set everything again.
Premier Bonar Law of England
marked his objections to the French
course by quitting the conference
with the French, Italian and Belgian
premiers when he found he wasn't
going to be listened to.
1t has been learned that Myron T.
Herrick, United States ambassador
to France, without actually protest
ing against the French advance into
the Ruhr, did tell Premier Poincare
that the Washington administration
was opposed to it. Roland w. Boy

likewise told the French, Italian and
Belgian delegates that he didn't be-
lieve Germany could pay France S
claims, and said he agreed with Eng
land.
The United States too, recalled
her few troops still on German soil.
They didn't mean much in military
way, but their recall implied pro-
test
Il seems even Premier Mussolini
protested, though Italy voted with
France on the reparations commits
sion.
Only Belgium is cooperating
intellectually with the French.
France first seized Essen, seat of
the great Krupp factories; then
Gelsenkirken, center of the Ruhr
coal industry; it's expected still
more occupations will follow.
There was hostile gathering but
not much trouble at Essen. Munich
also has been the scene of anti
French gathering and Bavaria gener-
ally, which is regarded as royalist,
is reported excited. The Memel dis
trict. in East Prussia, is in a state
OF disorder, reported in some quar-
tiers to mean a desire to Join the new
republic of Lithunia: in others to
be anti-French. ,.
The German government, however,
sanctioned no resistance to. the
French Invasion, saying it sticks o
the Versailles treaty, which it ac-
cuses France of breaking. It re-
called the German diplomatic repre-
sentatives from Paris and Brussels
and gave notice that all talk of pay
ing war damages to France and Bel
GUM is off until their troops arc out
of Germany.
German protests against the Ruhr
invasion were sent to London and
Washington, but it's understood thew
won't be answered, England and the
United States feeling, despite t.1eir
dlsapproval of the French course,
that there isn't anything they can
do about it at present.
There are plenty Of signs that the
French, now they're in the Ruhr,
hardly know what to do next.
