I In Session Yesterday

and Last Opposition Against Ultimatum Likely Soon to Break.

(Special to The Guardian)

BEIRLIN, May iL-Only the peo- ples party wing of the German cabinet held out today against ac- cepting the Allied ultimatum. The cabinet was in session throughout the afternoon with indications that the last opposition might -be brok- en before adjournment Foreign Minister Von ISimons was reported to have convinced his colleagues that there is small chance of per- suading the Allies to propose 50ft- er terms.

These members of the coalition cabinet who still held out against acceptance of the terms were con- fident the Allies would not enjoin enforcement of the penalties and, would be persuaded of the repara- tions conditions.

North and South Could Not Agree

DUBLIN, May il-John Dil-Ion, Chairman of the Nationalist party, will publish a letter tomorrow saying he advised his friends to take no part in the southern elec- tions. Such an agreement as reached between the Sinn Fein and Nationalists in the north he declared, would ybe impossible, even if desirable in the south.

LONDON, England, May 9.— Victoria, B.

Meanwhile the country is faced with a. cutting of tits railway service to skeleton proportions, entailing additional handicaps for all kinds of business and spelling disastrous loss to the seaside resorts because of the inability of the roads to han- dle the crowds. Another ‘week of the strike and the railway service will be cut to practically half‘ of the normal and the large cities will be as dimly lighted gas they were during the air raids of the war. All the big breweries are feeling the coal pinch, and it is stated the Government may prevent any fur- ther stocks being used for brew- ing beer. This will mean the virtual rationing of thc- beer supply. ’

Now That Steamboat

Not so many years ago, but just back there "befoh de wa‘h" it was the customary thing to have a steamer Excursion from Charlot- tetown to iPicton on the "glorious 24th" oi’ vMay when the principal feature of the holiday would be a lively game of Rugby football eit- her ‘between the Charlottetown team and a Pictou team or else be- tween Charlottetown and New Glasgow. It was really the lively and extended period of spring practises for this annual encount- er which fostered and kept alive the whole athletic spirit in Char- lottetown and was the means of bringing about many games be- tween local organizations. Such encounters as were witnessed nt Victoria Park back in the eigh- ties nnd nineties were enough to fire any youth with ambition to participate in the game. Those games between the Crescents and Albflsweils, 6t. Dunstan's, the Vic- tories. [the Anchors, Stars, the Prince Edwards, Conrtsughts, the Brighton Heroes, and other minor organizations all had the tend- ency to arouse a healthy splrlt of rivalry among the boys and to make for brawn and muscle and quick, clear thinking. These games were continued from the time the ground was dry enough to play in

Communication is

Renewed With Pictou why not the An- nual 24th of May Games-

with unabated and growing zest up to the end of June and some of the more enthusiastic ones dould not. stop tlien. Naturally when the cool autumn days set. in the pent-up enthusiasm again broke out. and the contests were renewed until the frost king said “cease play." This left a lot of boys in just the right fettle then to so: info the great winter game of hockey and so the spirit of’ athletics was never allowed to grow cold. Just why the some BPIFI! should not exist today is hard to say—but the fact remains that the mind of the youth of con- temporunoous age today seems tn run more to cigarettes, the cnrtl gnmc. dance-hall and a few other ct. ceteras of that type than was the case some years ago.

Perhaps it is not too ‘late yet to revive something of the old time spirit. Pictou County. N. 8.. is re-orgsnizing its athletic associat- ion and with simillar reorganizat- ion hero, combined with the fact that steamboat communication l-s restored between that town and Charlottetown, perhaps it may be possible to restore in a measure the old spirit and the old games.‘

Telegruph this morning, says: England is after our Charlie. Site may think she has u.

Chaplin because he is really a na-

idea she has of annexing the come- dian are fruitless. because Mr. (Ihupllu comes out himself amd very definitely says he expects to

remain in the United States. The offer made Mr. Chaplin is staggering in its size. He has

been offered $20,000 a week, which is at the rate of more than a mil- lion a year, for his signature to a theatrical ‘contract for twelve months. Talk‘ about America

being the land of milk and honey! We have nothing to equal that on stage or screen. ‘The proposition according to Mr. Chaplin himself. Is only one of the many he has re- celved during the last. two months. Tire $20,000 a week contract was tendered him by a group of Eng.

t llsh financiers, and carries with it

an additional bonus of a quarter of a million dollars for acceptance wlt-hln sixty days.

It took Mr. Chaplin just one hour to deliberate ou the proposi- tion, and most of that time was spent in deciphering the long code cable which arrived from England a few days ago. He came back with the following brief, but to the point answer.
