pose.

measures. The coal deposits in the ,

GERMAN SOLDIERS
ACCUSE OFFICERS
FOR ATROCITIES
Return From France and Bel
gium and Openly Tell
the Truth
In lj Associated Press
Paris Alarch 24. —Oswald Garri-,
j son A'illard, of New Pork, editor of
I the Nation, lias pust returned to
; Paris front a week's observation of j
j conditions in Germany and made a
l report to the American peace cont
! missionei's and the British prime:
| minister. David Lloyd George, by
! which they are said to have' been
| profoundly impressed.
"The drift toward Bolshevism is |
i rapid in Germany," said Air. A'ill- ;
j ard today, "and it can be stayed only 1
by prompt food relief and the lift-,
I ing ol' the blockade so that trade j
I may begin and tlie idle German
I factories may receive raw materials
as fast as arrangements can be made !
to pay for them."
Food Alone Won't Help
Fooii alone. Air. A'illard declared, j
would not save the situation, though !
! many Germans thought so.
j "The brutalities of the Noske j
troops have put down the upris
i ing for the Eliert government." j
he continued, "but have produced
la profound reaction. 1 did not find |
j any responsible person who did not!
i expect another general strike, with '
j more fighting, this month.
"The people arc worn down and
helpless, and the masses are very
j bitter against the old regime and
the officers, who dare not show
themselves in the streets of Alunich
I and who curry revolvers in Berlin
! for self-protection.
Officers Accused
"Many people are still ignorant of
;ihe atrocities of the German troops j
jin France, Belgium and Rumania,
but soldiers retiming from these!
'countries are telling the truth and!
openly accusing their officers of j
wholesale thefts and deliberate!
I cruelties."
AA'ith reference to the German i
J view ot the possible peace condl- j
j tions, Air. A'illard said:
"1 have talked with several Ger-1
j man delegates to the Peace Con-1
! t'orence, who say that any German I
j government signing a treaty calling j
I for heavy indemnities and the an-i
nexation of territory other than i
Alsace-Lorraine by the Allies could |
not live twenty-four hours. They
will submit any peace terms to the
AN eimar asseml.v, and possibly to the;
German people itself.
"The feeling of bitterness against!
.be Allies, these men said, grows'
j with the delay in getting food."

other active sportsman front Bykens. ! 1
In his letter Barrett says:
"It may he well realized at this |
time that the long looked-for time 1
has arrived, the time when large .
land owners are beginning to take i
advantage of the hunter and fisher
man. lty acts of legislature a resi- '
dent of this Commonwealth must pay |
a license fee of one dollar in order |
to go gunning. The money that is j
derived from this procedure is set
aside for the use of the State Game i
Commission for the purpose of re- 1
stocking in. order that the sport lie [
possible. With this law the hunter j
never murmured but felt that the j
plan was a good one, not only for the j
present but an assurance of the j
future. But the time is fast tip- j
proaehing. in fact the preliminary j
stroke has already been delivered '
in the upper end of Dauphin county
within throwing distance of the ;
Capitol of Pennsylvania.
"A year ago the State Game Corn- I
mission established a game preserve ;
west of Bykens, Pa. They have and i
rua; still displaying considerable in- j
terest here, placing numeroupa deer, i
turkeys, rabbits, pheasants and other '
game, and the project is looked upon
as a great success. Almost imme- I
diately upon its Hearing completion a I
certain corporation owning large 1
tracts of land in the vicinity begin ]
to buy tip the small individual hold- i
ings surrounding them and make an :
effort to close to hunters and fisher- j
men the very heart of the hunting
and fishing gwounds that the pre- ■
serve affords. If this move were |
successful there would he no land ]
whatsoever left for the sportsmen ]
upon which to hunt or fish for the j
game which his money applied by |
his license, paid for.
"Instead, he reaches a large pri
vate game preverse, his former ]
hunting grounds, and is notified by i
notice or enclosure to stay off not- j
withstanding the fact that his money :
has helped to stock the private pre- ,
serve, if this instance is successful, i
I where will-ti-endThis may be only !
- the forerunner of a State-wide en- ]
deavor. Hunters and fishermen of |
Pennsylvania, the time has arrived |
to get up and act. Delay means '
ruin. These plans must be blocked I
if we still wish to resort to our I
ideal recreation. We have been and
still are paying the price for our
hunting, and it now looks as though j
the sports of this old Keystone State j
are about to pay the way for privileg- )
ed individuals.
"Different sections of tho State I
are falling in line with them and •
getting in touch with their r'espec- j
tive senators and representatives to i
| suction and approve of anything!
I tending to help the outdoor sports
! men of Pennsylvania.
"Sportsmen of Pennsylvania, the |
movement of the upper-end of Dan- |
phin county against closing this tract
is justifiable and is worthy of State
wide co-operation.

i No more fertile subject has ever

and playwright thun that
"The • furnished by the Afru
. Smarter American. Black-fa e
j .set' comedy is put on the,
country over by men andl
I women of" more or less ability in this

j morrow the patrons of the Orpheinn
I will bo given something of its nioio
I serious side, portrayed by members
!of this race. The play is called
| 'Darkest Americans," a musical cont

;is headed by .Salem Tuit Whitney and
Homer Tutt, who are supported I y
. the strongest and largest aggrega-j
lion of colored talent ever, seen i .-1

colored man on the stage to-day, mis]

! Gomes to stories, will conto
'the oriilicum from a year's run in
New York and Boston
; to the Orpheuni. Wednesday, matinee
;and night.' Never has. there been a
play so delightfully typical of that
age when shaving is more of an MI- 1
feetionate desire than a desire, for, 1
like the book, tho play is full of good
humored pesting at the expense of;
I youthful human nature's growing
| pains, and there is uti irresistible
sympathy inspired for the harried
and misunderstood hero aged 17. Wil
liam Svlvanus Baxter, Jr. And the
the villain of the piece is little sist i
] Jane, aged to, a short-skirted, be-1
socked young person with a wild !'-
] lection for "bread-and-butter--and-!
I apple-sauce-and-stigar," and .111 even
j stronger love for "telling on" Wiliic.
j His every move, almost his every
j thought, is retailed to the parents.
| The play starts with the arrival in
, town of Lola Rratt and her dog,
] Flopit, end Willie's instant capitula
tion to her charms. His fatliei wilt
rot get a dress suit for him, so lie
takes his father's, his parent having
grown too stout for the cloths. \\':l
- is carried through his love affair
through all the joys and sorrows of
calf-love, through the awful serenade
. by himself and Johnnie Watson, and
through Ilia's departure after tiie
party at which she has not given Wil
lie a single dance. And the play
1 leaves him held close in his mother's
arms, tho only comfort left him in
life.
Humorous and wholesome, youth
giving in its sincerity as the storv
, is, much credit must be given to Mr.
Wallack's cast, for his voting actors
seems veritably to have' stepoed out
■ ot the bcok.
