N.A0.-It's Mccarthy versus Nc
Kechnie tomorrow in the all-star
Grapefruit ball game, but is 1t the
Yankees versus the Reds all over

and only five Cincinnatis.
"This amt review of the last
World Series," says Pepper Martin,
the st. Louis cheer leader. TT is a
preview of the next World Series" !"
That's what Pepper thinks, and
1t also seems to be what the elec-
torate thought when the squad was
named. The whole st. Louis out
field is here. Two Cardinal pitch
ers will be dealing off the top, and
q sixth Cardinal will be anchoring
first base.
And a Cardinal scout (Which is

and driving the Catholic religion
underground: with beating, humili-
ating and imprisoning clergymen,
and with forcing a mass migration
of Poles from the Archdiocese of
Poznan and GnieZno.
The context indicated the priests
reported shot had been killed. though
the report did not say specifically.
Young Deported to Reich.
The Polish report charged that
persons expelled from their homes
were left in the open country to
shift for themselves and that boys
and girls of IA and younger were de-
ported to Germany to be brought
up under Nazi doctrines.
Polish Embassy officials said that
the report was read by Pope Plus
XII and August Cardinal Hlond,
primate of Poland.
In charging that the Germans
sought to exterminate the Catholic
Polish inhabitants, the report said:
"It is a real determination. con-
ceived with diabolic malice and
carried out with unequalled cruelty" +"
It described the deportation Of
thousands of Poles, including priests,
in cattle cars from their homes to
that part of Poland known as gen
eral government" Poland, with re-
ports that many died on the trips.
This referred to the section Of Po-
land under German control, but not
joined to Germany under "perma-
nent" annexation.
Religious Building, Confiscated.
Churches and buildings of religious
orders of priests and nuns were con-
fiscated by the Gestapo along with
other property, the report charged,
and the altars of churches and con-
vents allegedly were profaned.
Priests detained in the camp of
Kazimierz Biskupi are forced to per-
form hard labor if they cannot pay
4 zlotys a day for their 'upkeep,"
the report continued.
I'm the Gorna Grupa camp they
are often mistreated. 1t is not rare
to see priests in the midst of labor
companies in the country repairing
roads and bridges, pulling wagons
of coal, working in sugar mills and
even demolishing synagogues."
OF the 25l parishes in the arch
diocese of Gniezno about half were
said to be without priests.
Those churches still open allow
services on Sunday from am. to
II am, but the service must be in
German, it was charged, and priests
must pray for Hitler.
Details Are Given.
Naming persons and places in de-
tail, the report charged:
At Gniezno the archdiocesan
headquarters were closed by the
Gestapo and funds of 10000 zlotys
(nominally about $16,0oO were
seized.

The Gestapo was accused of ter
rorizing the Catholic clergy. Dozens
of priests are in prison, where they
have been humiliated, beaten and
mistreated," the report said. Some
have been deported to Germany
and there is no news of them.
Others are detained in concentra-
ton camps"
Priests are beginning to say mass
and administer the sacraments
clandestinely in private houses, the
report said.
Conditions in the archdiocese OF
Poznan were described as similar
to those in the Gniezno region. Msgr.
Dymek, vicar general of Poznan,
was said to be a prisoner in his
own home. About so priests were
reported in prison in that arch
diocese.
Catholic newspapers also were said
to have been suppressed.
Millions of persons were reported
to have been driven from their
homes by the Germans. Tens OF
thousands of families were driven
out after losing everything they pos
sessed, with the Gestapo arresting
from 500 to $500 persons nightly
in raids on whole sections of cities
Transported to other sections on
trips of from two to four days in
cattle cars without food or water
the Poles were reported to have
suffered intensely, many dying.
At their destination, sometimes In

doned to their fate, the report
charged.

Swif's Head Expects
Continued High Wages
BY the Associated Press

BY the ASSOCIATED Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Continuation
of steady employment and continued
high wage scales during 1910 in the
meat packing industry was forecast
today by John Holmes, president of
Swift & Co., in a business report
issued to the company's $4,000 en-
ployes.
The company's 1889 earnings of
$10,321 ,523 were 4.52 per cent return
on the shareholders investment of
$3.50, 112, 408. Mr. Holmes report
showed. Eighty per cent of the
hourly paid workers in the Swift
plants had steady employment
throughout the year and hourly
wage rates, the report said, were
80 per cent higher, and average
weekly earnings were IL per cent
higher than they were in the pros
perity year of 1929.
From an employment stand
point he said, there is hopeful
note for 1910 because even larger
marketings of hogs are expected.
According to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Federally
inspected slaughter will increase to
about $1,000. 900 hogs, approximately
the number marketed before the
drought and the agricultural control
program of 1888 and 1884"

New York Cotton

NEW YORK. Jan. 81 R.-The
cotton market reflected advances in
markets abroad at the outset today
and scored gains of so cents a bale
which were later eliminated on a re-
action at Bombay and Liverpool.
Selling by Bombay, commission
houses and locals met only apathetic
trade demand following the easier
tone of the foreign markets.
Midafternoon prices were higher
to lower, March (old, 1859; July
(oldD, 1902; December, 9.33.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 81 R.-
After minor advances in early
trading cotton futures developed
downward tendency here today, in
fuenced by weakness in Liverpool
and long liquidation. The market
was quiet at noon and prices were
unchanged to 6 points net lower.

Light $3.50 cumulative preferred
stock placed on the market on June
3, 1897 The price to underwriters
was Sc. The stock was offered the
public at $3.50 to yield 4.62. The
stock ended 1899 at 1854. the high
for 1889 being 1885 and the low
97k. A year later $1,000 more
shares of this stock was offered
the public at the same price as the
first issue.
The report includes the Washing
ton Gas Light Co.'S sale of $1,000 900
4A per cent refunding mortgage
bonds to a private insurance COM
pany in April, 1886. The company
Betted 1925 for the bonds. At 100
they yield the insurance company
424. An issue of 100000 Wash
ington Gas As also was sold privately
in October, 1898. at 101 to yield 1894.
The Potomac Electric Power Co.'S
sale of $15,00O,000 First Mortgage
3A per cent bonds in June, 1896,
is another issue pictured In the re-
port. The bonds were offered the
public at 104 to yield 299, closed
1899 at 100, after selling up to HOPS
during the year and never lower
than 100. The record shows that
S. 000, 900 more of these bonds were
sold privately in November, 1887,
and a second S., 00O, 900 in December,
1889. The bonds mature in 1874.
The most striking feature Of the
report seems to be the dearth in
new common stocks put on the
market in recent years.
