Colonel Cockerill, British control officer in Upper Silesia, lectured, disarmed and sentvJiome 15 Polish insurgents who halted him at three o'clock in the morning and attempted to examine his papers and give orders. The colonel jumped out of his automobile and shouted: "What are you boys doing out at this timo with guns? Give me your names." The insurgents, who .were mostly youngsters, were nonplussed. The leader finally handed over his riflle and the colonel boxed his ears. He then made the others Kive up their guns and advised thdm all to go home. Loading their 15 rifles into the machine, he proceeded to- British headquarters. The colonel's chauffeur a Prussian soldier,, said afterwards: "I have been through four years of the war, but that was the nerviest thing I ever saw."- - -. ? Arrest of eight men charged with the robberies of more than 100 banks and postoffices in the Atlantic states | from South Carolina to New York, was announced in Atlanta, Wednesday, by postal inspectors. J Inspectors who returned to Atlanta from Columbia, S. C., asserted the men were members of a gang: which had worked for two years with headquarters at Columbia and New York. Seven of them, they declared, were arrested in or near , Columbia and Watson Wallace, whom . they described as the leader, was taken to Springfield, 111. Names of the men taken in South Carolina were .'given as William Brawley, Dewey Dennis, Alex Cartledge, Lloyd Lorick, William Norvell, Willis Cartledge, and J. SI. Goff. All are held under heavy bonds, the inspectors said. The government first broke into the operations of the alleged gang, according to the inspectors, when three men, reputed to. b^ leaders, were arrested in different parts .of the country. These men are in Federal prisons, j it was added, and information obtained from them led to arrests of the others. ? Senator Borah, of Idaho, and those associated with him m the senate on questions <'f general policy virtually won their fight today for incorporation in the $500,000,000 naval appropriation bill of the'Borah-amendment requesting the president to call a novni disarmament conference of the United States. Great Britain and Japan. Senator Poindexter, Republican, Wash- < ington, in charge of the naval bill, and other administration leaders suddenly and unexpectedly came to the support of the amendment leaders generally joined in predictions of adoption of the i disarmament proposal. Although Senator Poindexter and other Republican j leaders said they-had not heard further from President Harding regarding his attitude toward the Borah proposal, there were reports that both by letter and telephone the president had been ' in communication with Republican , leaders. The change in the situation occasioned considerable surprise. Aft? er a conference with the president, Senator Poindexter announced recently ; that the president preferred not to have the Borah amendment adopted, while Sgnator Hale, Republican, J.Jaine, who accompanied. Senator Poindexter, also \ had said that he understood the presi- . dent regarded it as "unnecessary." De- ' spite the developments in the disurma- ' ment controversy, no- ; progress was < made on the bill Tuesday. ' , *-- rin TuosdaV Ml*S. ??Ill rillJUUCIpauw ? Emma C. Bergdoll was sentenced to | pay a fine of $7,000 for the part she j was convicted of having taken in the ' evasion of the draft laws by her sons, ji Cri$>ver and Edwin Bergdoll. It she re"fofces or fails 'id- pay tfi<3 <Sne, Judge Dickinson of the United States district court imposed the alternate sentence of one yean and one day in the , federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga. Her fine must be paid by June 13. A like fine, with the same alternative, was imposed upon two of her co-defendants. in the conspiracy case. One ! was her son, Charles P. Braun, who changed his name because of the notoriety achieved by "his brothers, and .the other her lifelong friend and counsellor, James E. Romig. The two other defendants, Albert Mitchell and Harry Schuh, were fined $1,000 each, with the alternative of spending six months in the Mercer county Jail at Trenton, X. J. Counsel for the defendants imme- ' diately filed a formal appeal from the i sentence. This action, the clerk of the court explained, was for the purpose of staying execution of the sentence, |' as otherwise the defendants would M have been sent to jail immediately. . Judge Dickinson, in sentencing Mrs. I, Bergdoll, declared there was no way I' of ascertaining how much of her guilt ' h'qc the apt "of a fond and foolish |i cord with the treaty of Versailles and the result of the recent plebiscite. In reply I have the honor to inform you that in my opinion the settlement of such boundary disputes as arise in the matter under consideration is a matter of European concern in which, in accord with the traditional policy of the United States, this government should not become involved. The attitude of the government in this matter is clearly understood by its representatives in Europe, who will, therefore, so far as at present may be seen, take no part in the discussions concerning Upper Silesia and will express no opinions as to the settlement."

Certainly it is necessary to beat down the price of farm products and labor in order to raise the purchasing power of money. Anybody ought to be able to understand a proposition so simple as that. British diplomats have taken occa- i sion to make it clear that the offensive : ar.d defensive alliance between Great Britain and Japan does not bind Great i Biitain to take sides with Japan in < case of trouble between Japan and the I] United States. i Messrs. Lloyd George and Briand are l giving the world, a most striking dem- ( or.stration of the open diplomacy prin- ; LipiU III WI 111 L aillWUIim L\J ?A I controversy. They may he able to ' reach a conclusion without a serious i scrap; but just how they are going to ilo it does not appear. i _ i About 1G per cent, of the taxpayers of Richland county are on the delin- { quent list, against only about 2 per 1 cent in York county. The York county delinquent list is always sifted to the bottom; but this proper policy is n?ver 1 followed with the same strictness in 1 Richland ?o it is said. 1 1 The only sure road to independence ' is through working and having. The average man spends more for things ) he does not need than for things he does need. The things he really needs cost comparatively little.* Rut when a man has waster his substance on [ things he does not need, lie is often put j to embarrassing straits in securing ; things he does need. ' .'i - .I'? 1 !?' The adjutant general of the army ( has taken the broad position that all men within the draft age who evaded , the draft are slackers, even though ( they may have subsequently performed , full military service. "Deserters from fa.-.ci" Dm nil infant trencral 1. "are men who registered under the se- j Icctive service law, and failed to report for military service at a specified , Lime." It seems to be pretty well settled, that Joe W. Tolbert, national com- ' mitteemnn for South Carolina will control the distribution of Federal patronage in this state, the confiicting,ru mors to the contrary notwithstanding, i And ordinary fairness compels the admission that if anybody in South | Carolina is entitled to the recognition of the Republican administration along this line, that man is Joe W. Tolbert. '' Irish patriots made extensive raids j( in England last week. The raids were i directed mainly against the families of ] members of the Royal Irish constat)- ( Ltlary operating in Ireland. Selected . iiouscs were attacked, in the night, and i the occupants were killed or otherwise roughly treated. In a number of cases ( Lhe houses were burned. British troops ( in Ireland have been retaliated by burning many Irish homes. The con- ( litions throughout Ireland are horrible. It is the worst form <u gucriua. warfare. Irish shoot British and British ^ sympathizers from ambush, and the , British retaliate in kind. If prisoners ire taken they are summarily shot. ' The British government of course ' ( reals the Irish only as rebels who are | lot entitled to belligerent rights of any I cind and the Irish govern themselves ' iceordingly. There is nothing in sight ( o indicate any early settlement of the j eign of terror. 1 < 1 1 i The Federal prohibition force ( hrcuighout the country will be re- \ lueed two-thirds during the next forty lays because of lack of funds with j vhieh to pay the men. The appropria- t ion is running short and it is forty 1 lays until a new fiscal year com- , nenees. While of course congress ould supply ilie delicieiiey and pre ent the reduction if it so desired, it ifc lot likely that congress will do anyhing of the kind, it is suggested that lie deficiency gives an excellent opiwrtunity to make vacancies that are J cry much desired at present. Lack of . iinds gives a good excuse for such va- < aiu'ies:, liceausc of course nobody can j ie expected lo enforce laws witliout | noney. But at tiie end of the forty lays when the new appropriation be- ' 'nines available, it is anticipated that j lie Democrats who have laid off for | lack of fund*.," will he replaced .by i tepul'licaas "who need their jobs. In bis first 'speech in London Thin s- ' lay. Cringe Harvey, American Am- J lassador to Croat Britain, declared i hat American armed forces went to I Europe in the world war solely to save 1 lie United Slates and not to save En- j ropean states opposed to Cermany as some had contended. That is the kind of talk that is needed, because it is the truth. That stuff about "making the world safe for Democracy," was nothing but the variest bunk and everybody knew it was bunk. America tried to remain out of the war until she saw very clearly that she would have to either lick or submit to the winner and then she went in for the purpose of taking care of herself, which she did not fail to do. "We are here LaFayette," was very good diplomacy under the circumstances: but people who understood how France assisted us in the Revolution because of her own quarrel against England were not very much impressed with it. Whoever it was that told Admiral Sims to keep his eyes skinned on the knowledge that we would just as lief fight England as Germany, understood the situation. "If it were a fact that we were in for "making the worfd safe for , V,*- fnmo nf nrms." we would I UCillUCI UV.J 'JJ vv W-. ? , have our work cut out for us for the balance of our existesce and there would be very little to show for it ( after we had passed off the board. i > ? i ? Uniform Memoh'al Day. < The question of a uniform memorial ' day throughout the nation is worthy of serious practical consideration at this j time, if for no other reason than to i avoid embarrassing confusion in the ; future. Memorial or decoration day had its * origin in the United States for the , honor of soldier dead of the civil war. . The northern states generally have ( agreed upon May 30, and the southern j states have generally a?reed upon various other dates. May 30 is memorial das* in nil the states except Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Ctrolina, South Carolina, Tennessee ind Texas. South Carolina's memorial day is May 10; but no other state observes ilmt nnrtieular dav. The American Legion has very naturally endorsed May 30 as its memorial day. This of course moans that the Federal soldiers are to be remembered 1 ilong with the solclieis of the world tvar, and that the generation which is | passing is committing the memory of the Federal soldiers to the keeping of the new generation. It is hardly reasonable to hope that ivith two memorial days within the same month both can . be observed . ivith equal zeal. While Confederates are still separate from Federals and it will probably alivays be that way, from the nature of Ihc case there will be no distinction between northern and southern soldiers of the world war. Why should wo not change our present memorial day from May 10 to May 30 and let the one day suffice for both i' the Confederate dead and the dead of the world war? The continuance of the present arrangement is calculated to separate father and son as the yea.rs go on, and that will not bo for the best. We can change from May 10 to May 30 without any disrespect to our Confederate dead. This matter should have serious practical consideration. ?

Williams, secretary of the board of trustees said yesterday that the bonds were not offered because of some legal technicality. He did not, however, state what that legal technicality was. Asked about the matter this morn-" ing J. A. Marion, Esq., a member of the board of trustees said that the sale was postponed in order that the trustees might have time to be in position to offer a "bomb proof' title to the bonds and to clear up certain technicalities that might arise. From other sources it was learned that the trustees did not deem it wise to offer the bonds for sale at this time because of general financial conditions. It is said further that information which the trustees had would indicate . that the school bonds would not bring as high a figure just now as the trustees had expected. A representative of a well known bonding company told the reporter th;it his company nati lnsirucicu nun not to make a bid on the bonds for Lhe reason that they considered a total bond issue for $137,500 on a total property valuation of less than $900,000 not a pood business proposition. There is no indication as to when the school bonds will be offered. LEGION LARRUPS CLOVER It was a sweet revenge that Manager Toots Gauklen's American Legion Larrupers of Yorkville got from Clover's "Town Rounders" on the Yorkville high school diamond yesterday afternoon to the tune of S to 3. Sweet because the Town Rounders less than two weeks ago had cleaned up the Legionairos 7 to 0. Most of the credit for the defeat of yesterday should go to Manager Claulden himself who pitched a wonderful game for 'the Legionairos, striking out fifteen Clover batters and letting them down with six hits, two of which were hardly hits at all. He received jam-up assistance at the hands of his teammates, however, who! totaled eleven hits and lidded nearly ltiO per cent. In, fact the CI over! tea hardly had a Chinaman's chance to win the old game and somehow or other after the first frame they seemed t<> realize it. Young Johnny Walker, Clover's crack high school pitcher and one of the best junior slab artists in the state, had a bad day and. the Legionairos treated, him rough. Painter, crack pitcher for the Clover lads was taken out in the fourth and. young Mr. John Walker was put in the box. The kid. with a smile as long as a bologna sausage. reflecting upon what he had done fur the Legiiiiuiires before when he shut 'cm out 7 to 0, felt sure that he could do it again. Hut when one Mr. Paul P.ratton clouted one of his choice offerings for the circuit and one Mr. John R. Logan who followed slaughtered one for tfo sacks, it was plain that he couldn't repeat his previous performance.

Her heaviest punishment, he said, would be the thought that her I sons had. brought disgrace upon her. < "No one would wish to see a mother , sent to jail for merely helping her sons, guilty as they were," lie said. In sent- ' encinpr Romig, who is 70 years old, 1 Judge Dickinson said his only claim to | leniency was his age. He censured the former city magistrate in blunt terms. Braun's motives, Judge Dickinson said 1 had perhaps been the best of any of i the defendants and he did not con- j sider it just to punish him more severely than'the others. He pointed that ' the jury had recommended mercy in 1 the case of Mitchell and Schuh. As if she walked out of the court room Mrs. f Bergdoll turned to- newspaper men and ' said "Never will I pay a fine. Per- J haps I shall go to jail. Maybe I'd be < better off so."

The United States government does not propose to get mixed up in the dis- 1 pute over Upper Silesia, in which ; France and Poland. England and Italy ( are engaged. The Versailles treaty prescribed that Upper Silesia should 1 determine its preference by a vote of the people. The vote was in favor of Cermany as against Poland. Poland is not satisfied and is trying 1o hold Upper Silesia by force of arms. She in ! c not doing it directly; but indirectly !< under the leadership of an insurgent . named Korfanty.

France claims that the elec- | tion was not fair. Franco wants l'o- ! land to have Upper Silesia so as to! further weaken Germany. England does not want Germany weakened too j much in proportion to France. Neither j does Italy. Poland has asked the Unit - cd States for support, hut the United States is hands off. Secretary Hughes j lias stated the attitude of this government in the following note to Poland: j< "1 have the honor to acknowledge the j receipt of your note of May 11. in \ which you recite the reasons why. in ; your opinion, certain districts of Upper!

Young Johnny i Walker, however, be it said to his I credit, didn't get rattled at all but kept ( going good until the final frame al- < though he lost. It was all kinds of an old ball game. " There was more or less bickering and l quarreling and the fights totaled one. < The rowing started in the fourth in- < ning with the Clover third baseman i doing the "beefing." Umpire Lewis i M. Grist called one of Gaulden's offer- i ings to Will Grayson, Cldver short stop a strike, when Grayson and Lacey Parish and others though it was a ball. Little was said, however, until Clover's time to give the Legionaires their end i of the frame. The third base position i was vacant and then Lacey Parish, Clover's third baseman, informed the i party that unless they got a: new urn4-?ilro Vita rlnll |JU C lie UU1U umv ma ,uui. go home. The majority wer?' inclined i to let him go. But the row was-settled when Umpire Grist retired in favor of Umpire Stegall of Sharon. Although there was more kicking by Clover, the second "umps" wrestled with 'em until the end. A real scrap occurred in the seventh. Frank Simrill, Legion right fielder, hit one and had to run to make it. According to eye witneses, Ed Grayson, Clover first sacker was standing well i on the base and Simrill ran into him. ] Grayson clouded up like a Texas norther. Simrill came back to apologize for running into him. Grayson undertook to describe the particular brand of lifer that he thought Simrill was. He had no chance to finish the description because in the twinkling of an eye Simrill had given him a formal : introduction to Mother Earth by the knock-down route. The high sheriff and other officers came on the field and stopped the fireworks. Clover had a batting rally in the eighth innig when Lee Gettys, clever Clover second sacker, hit one for three bases. But they were unable to catch , up and the score at the end was 8 to 3. Following are more facts and figures in re the game: i.he Box Score.

BOOSTING THE CHAUTAUQUA , Fourteen automobiles bearing about three times as many Yorkville people, covered a goodly portion of York county yesterday morning" for the purpose of advertising the Redpath Chautauqua which is to open a five day engagement in Yorkville next Monday afternoon. Incidentally another assignment on the booster trip yesterday was to try to sell as many season tickets as possible; but due to the fact that most people along the route were busy and the sun was hot anyhow, why no big effort in the a;t of salesmanship was put forth. The Chautauqua boosters divided into two sections for the booster trip.

Then doubling back over the same territory they turned toward McConnellsville at the over- I head bridge south of Yorkville ? and from thence home. Cars which were decorated with much chaulamiiia advertising, carried i I a number of ladies, all of whom en> ; joyed the trip, found pleasure in i drinking pink lemonade at different ] stands along the route, lined the party ) up at Hickory Grove for the purpose " of taking their photographs and inei- | dentally, told the people wherever i they found them what a good thing ? the ehnidanoiin \<hs going to bo.

The game which was started prior to the Clover-American Legion game was called by agreement in the fifth; and it' was decided to play another contest between the two teams probably in Rock Hill next week. ?

Ralph Cain's aggregation of Sharon Slammers was no match for Toot's Onuldon's 'American Legion Larrupers in a game of baseball on the graded school lot Tuesday afternoon and the Legionaires won easily by a score of 11 to 2. Tn all fairness to the visitors it might be said that thev had no previous practice as a baseball team prior to tJir> era mo Tuesday, although there Getting ciown 10 luccuiixiDiiaviiic v?i?. party told the villagers about the Chautauqua, 1 Then somebody spied a bik' jar of pickles in the store of J. P. Williams & Co. Miss Minnie Thomasson, popular Yorkville "Central" ventured that she liked pickles and wasn't in love and a half do2en other ladies said amen. Then somebody fished, up enough money to buy pickles and plenty of crackers, and again the sale of Chautauqua tickets was forgotten. Then J. H. Carroll and H. C. Smith and Clayborn Stroup and Ed Gettys and a few others sauntered into the store of W. O. Harshaw & Company and looked longingly at pork and beans and sardines and so on and so forth. Carroll suggested, that they would be home in thirty minutes, so the store missed a few sales?for cash r - credit and most likely the latter. Then to home and in record time. No punctures; no blow-outs; no wrecks; plenty of?dust?no record of any Chautauqua tickets sold. WITHIN THE TOWN ? Clenn up and paint up. Make things look better. ? The Chautauqua next week?five clays of it?and a delightful programme each day. ? The dust is not nearly so bad along. Congress street as it used, to be; but still it is very bad. ? Say people, has the town really been cleaned up against the coming of flies and mosquitoes? busy hauling cotton, selling goods and ane thing another. At Hickory Grove most of the folks had gone to attend a funeral in the neighboring county of Cherokee and at Guthriesville and McDonnellsville it was dinner time and people were too interested in that diversion to listen to "Judge" Wilborn, Lhe Chautauqua boosters or anybody else. So the "judge" was pleased; because it isn't an easy matter to make a speech when the weather is pleasant and one is at ease, to say nothing af a time when the sun is boiling and the dust is flying and all of that. Only one mishap occurred on the western trip. Just after the party left the home of Walker Goforth on the return from Sharon, a mule a little iai'gei* than a Texas jacl^ rabbit being driven by a colored mam t6 a buggy, didn't like teh idea of passing so many automobiles all decorated In red. He wanted to walk along a cotton field and thus give the chautauqua boosters the whole road. The drivtv_ decided that the road was wide enough' for both parties. Consequently there was considerable mrung ana siuesiepping between tbe mule and 'the cqlored man. The mule finally won, kicking clear out of the traces and breaking a buggy shaft which the negro said would cost 9S cents to repair. One of the party gave him 98 cents to fix the shaft and 2 cents to put him in a good humor and everything rocked along nicely. It had been expected that Clayborn Stroup of the firm of J. M. Stroup and William S. Moore of the Peoples Bank and Trust company, would sell tickets to everybody at Hickory Grove. The booster party had hardly struck the main street in the town when the two young men spied .three pretty brunettes standing in front of a store. The very fact that a Chautauqua was to be held evidently escaped their minds then and there. They made for the brunettes and the brunettes didn't run away and in about a pair of minutes they had Jean Hood at the Hood Drug company in Hickory Grove, mixing pineapple ices and other things of that sort that young ladies like. After some time Moore's attention was sufficiently detracted from the brunette attractions In order to persuade him to leave a few tickets on sale with Leon M. Allison at the Bank of Hickory Grove. ~ Ail??nU W. W. Lewis, C. E. Spencer and Prof. E. A. Montgomery of Yorkville and John T. Roddey of Rock. Hill. The York County Alumnae association of the University, was organized some time ago at a meeting held in Rock Hill and the meeting here Wednesday evening was the second held thus far. It is estjmated that there are a half hundred or more graduates and former students of the Stat* university living in York county. Other meetings of the association' someiwhat along the line of that of Wednesday evening are to be held from time ^to time .throughout the year, it is stated. ? Unless 400 Chautauqua tickets are sold between now and Monday at noon at $3.30 each including war tax, the Redpath Chautauqua'/which: begins a five day engagement!' here' Monday afternoon is' going to be a financial .failure and' the fifty: (four quarantors ? that the sum of $1,200 for the attraction will be raised are going to have to dig down more or l.?ss deep in their pockets'to malte up tbe shortage. That fact became appaFcnt Wednesday evening at a meeting <sf the guarantors and American Leglonalres in the American Legion club rooms. Tentative plans had "been made previously whereby members Of Meech Stewart Post would'take over the sale of tickets. At a meeting of Legionaires Wednesday evening, however, it was the concensus of' opinion that the job />orO tft waa yuc tiiixu cue jjiroi uia i*wu vui v v? , undertake full responsibility for. When a number of guarantors appeared later the post commander informed them that while the Legionaires would be of all assistance possible in the matter of tickets, they* did not .propose to assume full responsibility and it was going to be largely up to tbe guarantors to sell tickets. With that understanding they got busy yesterday and more than 200 tickets had been sold up to noon today. But there must be considerable hustling between now and Monday at noon or else. The'.jchautauqua tent, it is announced wilj., be lo.cated on the Smith lot. pn .South Congress . street near the, First Baptfst ohurch.' LOCAL LACONKS Hickory Grove ,Re-organizes.

The house* has passed a bill that was recently passed by the senate, authorizing presidential control over cable landings in the United States. The bill is an outcome of the present contest between the.mavy department and the "Western Union Telegraph company over the landing of a British cable at Key "West, ^la. The Western Union people tried tcfslip in and were kept out by destroyers. The Western Union applied for an injunction against interference, and as it was apparent that the supteme court would grant the injunction it was deemed expedient to rush the necessary bill through congress. The senate bill was amended somewhat in the house and this will cause some delay. It is expected hpwever,. that the bill will get through in time to accomplish the end, desired. The bill authorizes the president to license cable operation and to prevent the landing of unauthorized cables. ?
