BRITISH RESENT
CROMIE MURDER;
JAIL LITVINOFF
Soviet Envoy and Staff Taken
to Brixton Prison; Will
Bo Held
l.onilon, Sept. s.—The attack on the
British emoassy in Petrograd last
Saturday, involving the sacking of
the embassy and the killing of Cap
tain Cromie. the British attache, has
aroused intense indignation here. The
1 .ondon morning newspapers in their
editorials denounce the act in the
strongest terms and endorse the Brit
ish government's aetion in the de
mand upon the Bolshevik govern
ment for reparation and the threat
of outlawry for the members of the
Soviet government should it fail to
give complete satisfaction or should
further acts of violence he committed
against British subjects.
According to the Evening News to
day Maxim Litvinoff, Bolshevik rep
resentative in London; his secretary
and another member of the Bolshe
vik faction now in London, have been
taken to Brixton prison.
The Britisli government announced
last night that XI Litvinoff and his
staff had been placed "under preven
tative arrest" until all the British
l epresentatives in Bolshevik Russia
had been set at liberty and allowed
to proceed to the Finnish frontier un
molested.

man troops in Esthonia are showing
signs of insubordination, according
to advices received here from Russia.
Several hundred soldiers have hoisted
the red tiag. singing the "Xlarseillais."
Their officers were powerless to keep
order.
At Reval 400 German soldiers and
sailors took part in similar demon
strations.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SHOI LD A GIKI, A( ( EH' TREATSf ]
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
A and R ha\ been friends for a
short time; one day B, in a discussion
with B, said if a girl were a true
friend and a lady she would not allow
a gentleman to pay for her amuse
ments, meals, etc., when she is out
with him. Now, Miss Fairfax, A is
not the kind of girl who wants to
have a man spend money to make her
have a good time, but don't you think
if a gentleman invites a lady out he
should pay her expenses?
B gave as an example, a young
lady whom he has known for eight
years and who refuses to allow him
to pay her share when they go out,
not for so rquch as a frappe. Recently
a party ot boys and girls, including A
and B, went out on a pleasure trip. A
refused to allow B to pay for her fare
and meals, which angered B. Was A
rigl\t in acting so. and what should
B do in the future? H is a gentle
man otherwise.
DORIS.
This young man must be buying a
great many Thrift Stamps, which is
most praiseworthy, but lie is abso
lutely wrong about the other matter.
If a man invites a girl out, it is under
stood he pays for tickets, meals and
such expenses, unless the party is
frankly planned as a "Dutch treat"
and evfTy one pays for himself.
1 think, under the circumstances,
A was quite right in objecting to re
ceive any hospitality from B after his
discussion on this subject. Perhaps
A is not so stingy as he appears,
maybe he is only a little rusty in the
matter of social usages.
AX IISFORTUXATE TRIANGLE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What should a wife do who sees her
husband drawn away by the evil in
fluences of a woman who happened to
be a member of the same family and
with whom he must come in contact
every day?. The woman Is married.
PERPLEXED.
This is a very difficult matter on
which to offer advice, and will depend
very much on the type of woman who
is maing the mischief and her previ
ous record and character. If she is
nothing worse than a silly flirt, per
haps she could be induced to give up
her dangerous pastime if she realizes
the unhappiness she is creating, but
if she is a vhmpire who does this
thing knowingly, there is little hope
to be placed in any possible humanity
she may have.
Very often wives have triumphed
in this sort of situation by what may
be called a divine patience. They wait
and they are kind and forbearing to
the misguided husband, and in time
he realizes his folly or gets tired and
cames back. Men, like eats, are crea
tures of habit, and they don't like to
depart from the old home or abandon
their daily -associations. A waiting
game, with much forbearance and no
complaints, has often won the day.
ROTARIANS ENJOY THE
I SIXTH ANNUAL OUTING
Baseball Game Between Members and Their Wives Proves
Popular; Prizes Award ed in Athletic Contests
More than 150 happy Rotarians
with their wives and families and in
vited guests attended the sixth an
nual outing of the Harrisburg Ro
tary Club held in Paxtang Park yes
terday afternoon and evening. I'ho
park was turned over to the picnick
ers for the du.v and to say that they
made good use of the hospitality of
the Harrisourg Railways Company is*
putting it tniluly.
After a few moments of gladhatid
time when everybody became
acquainted with everyone else, Pres
ton Crowell, "thinnest man in the
club," started the athletic events
when hiT steaded his baseball team,
composed cf the club's most Jaunty
athletes, in a parade around the base
ball grounds, headed by Captain
Crowell pounding a huge drum. Than
came u baseball game that woulJ
have made Latt Johnson look sick!
With Preston Crowell as cutcher, 1.
B. Dickinson, pitcher, W. G. Stariy,
first base, Harry J. Hainme, second
base, J. W. Roshon, third base, E.
Fred Kowo, shortstop, W. M. Rob
ison, centerfield; Elmer E. Lawton,
righttteld, and William H. German,
leftlield, the men's team declared
they were reauy to defeat the wo
men. With Mrs. Eli N. Hershey to
show them their tactics, the women
made up the following team:
Mrs. C. Linn Scott, catcher; Mrs.
N. S. Longaker, pitcher, Mrs. C F
Hopkins, first base, Mrs. G. Ender,
second base, Mrs. Preston Crowell,
third base, Mrs. Harvey A. Stiue,

Held.
Some Game
The game began! Even the p!oy-j
ers enjoyed it! A scout for one of]
the big league teams who want to
employ women as players next sea
son, immediately singled out Mrs. C.
F loyd Hopkins, making her an offer
of ten thousand bucks a year if she
would play on his team. He declar
ed that the pitching of Mrs. S. S.
Longaker would lead the Athletics to i
victory jn the' race for the pennant.]
And, as to tile men, Preston Crowell |
was heralded as a second Connie I
Alack or perhaps a Johnnie AlcGravv,
while I. B. Dickinson was shown to]
lie not only a man of muscle but of
skill in twirling the pill. The game
was all that could be desired—by the
women, who smashed down the Hin
denburg Jinc of the enemy and
marched into Berlin on an 18-2
score. The game was marked by
1 persistent wrangling on the decision
lof the umpire by Preston Crowell,
! captain of the men's team; by ox
i eellent playing and fielding, and
j particularly by skillful pitching.
"Gee, I wish I was a Rotary 'nl-l
j low," mourned a grimy urchin who
sat on a park bench watching the
athletic festival which followed the I
baseball game. "Golly! Why?" ask-1
ed his companion. "'Cause those j
fellows has gray hair but they're!
younger'n we are," was the expla
nation. Gaily singing such heart
ful songs as ' Turn Back the Universe]
and Give Ale Yesterday," Rotarians I

ponderous, lanky and middleweight,
with hair of every hue from silver to
r.uthrow n, nongled in a riot of tun
and frolic on the greensward, a fro
lic that cont'nucd through the late
afternoon. Particularly notorious as
athletes were C. Floyd Hopkins and
Captain George F. Lumb, who led the
tun. Even Eli N. Hershey. concocter
of ice cream, threw his nose glasses
aside, and waded into the fray, de
termined to capture all honors. No
casualties were reported except the
broken crown Richard C. Jobe re
ceived when Mrs. Hopkins pounded
him on the head with a towel.
"Swat the Kaiser"
A certain gentlemen from Teuto
nia, with a withered arm, came in
for his full shure of abuse from
the assembled frolickers. incidental
ly the only "knocking" of the day
came when the name of this certain
gentleman was brought into the dis
cussion. His name is withheld but
he is the go ltleman who engineered
the sinking of a Lusitunia-load of
women and children, the desecration
of Belgium and the subsequent evetit3
which led American to show the
world the stuff she's made of! "Let's
play Swat the Kaiser," suggested C.
W. 8011, who co-operated with O TV.
Cottrell in the position of muster
of games. Would we swat the Kai
ser? I should say we would! Eveiy
blessed picnicker joined hands with
the others and a huge ring wus form
ed immediately. Into the ring Jump
ed a Rotarian who acted as the Kai
ser while other blindfolded Rotar
ians tried to down hint with sand
bags. Hully gee! It was real sport!
At this point John F. O'Neill
came into the throng and his sug
gestions for other games made
every one straighten up and feel
that kidtime had come back again.
Rolling up his sleeves, Samuel P. i
Eby. champion tosser of quoits, de
clared himself ready to meet all
comers. Robert E. Cahill, com-1
nvonly known as "Bob," hopped 1
around with a cane. "Believe me,
Sam, if I weren't bunged up, I'd!
show you how to .pitch quoits," he
roared. "Can't take the champion
ship from me, boy," said Eby, putt
ing up his chest looking downright
happy.
Ov3f in the various gamerooms,
through the courtesy or the Harris
burg Railways Company and par
ticularly through the courtesy of its
president, Frank B. Alusser. the va
rious games were thrown open to
the merry-makers. Skeeball, ten
pinette, Japanese rolling ball and
all othar games were kept busy all
the while, park attendants giving a
grin of welcome to the picnickers.
"No charge, sir! Just help your
self!" was the way the folks were
welcomed.
Time to Eut
While the games were in full
svvayj-Dr. Harvey A. Stine, Captain
George F. Lumb and other kindred
spirits enjoyed the exhilarating
breezes and beautiful scenery of
Paxtang Park from the seat of the
i derby racer. Rattling their way
over the devious paths of the roller
coaster, many Rotarians were confi
dent that they had "Just as inspir
ing a time as those poor booba who
played games." Wild shrieks of
laughter came from "The Giggle"
and other amusement devices which
unsuspecting women of tlie club in
vestigated. Mrs. F. F. Davenport,
Mrs. Al. K. Thomas, Mrs. P. U.
Diener, Mrs. Eli N. Hershey, Mrs.
E. J. Hockenbury and their fellow
ing of women were the prime factors
ill the sport. They chugged around
the lake on a motorboat, ventured
into the pool and searched the in
tricacies of "The Whip" for um'use
tucnt. Incidentally some odd dozens
of them sat on the swings and seats
and renewed memories of other
days. "Gosh, I'd like to get a pic
ture of that to show their custom
ers," said a bystander who watched
the merry throng.
"Let's cat!" came the word from
big, hearty Frank F. Davenport,
caterer to the appetites of the hun
gry hordes. After an invocation pro
nounced by William &. Esstck,
called "Uncle Bill" by everybody,
the bunch fell to with a will. Lob
ster cocktail was the first delicacy
on the menu, followed by queen
olives, chilled celery, salted almonds,
Virginia bouillon with rice, wafers,
broiled spring Beaufort chicken with
rich butter dressing, whipped pota
toes, French green peas, rolls a la
Hoover, tomato surprise, saltines,
frozen cream a la Hershey, indi
vidual wheatless cakes, black coffee
and ufter-dinner mints. Lulu But- ]
ler was in charge of the waitresses i
who were very efficient in their
handling of the battling eaters.
"There are two things I like to —
eat and sleep," said W. G. Starry,
as he buried his face in half a spring
chicken.
A big feature of the dinner was
the singing. Late dispatches from
Berlin say that when Wilhelm the
Murderer was at dinner he heard
the Rotarians here at Hurrisburg
roaring out "Good-by Kaiser Bill"
and "K-K-Katy." W. H. Fetter and
C. F. Hopkins reigned supreme when
