DO YOU KNOW
THIS PAIR?
BY Jack McGOwan.


Nearly everybody In the High
lands knows George "Guggues
Vernon, who has been playing
football and baseball for three
years. Last season Vernon starred
at quarterback ON the Highland
football team and Is one of the
most dangerous men on the local
gridirOn while running with the
ball. He also played firstbase on
the Highland Wilmington ball
team last year. This season he en-
tered GOldey College, and Is play
ing good ball and leading the team
in batting. Judging from the game
he is playing now, II won't he long
before he is playing in fast COM
pany.
Luther VI. Cloud. better known
as "Little Dutch" is one of the
most popular players that ever
wore n Wilmington High School
uniform. He Is an all-arOund ath-
lete, playing basketball, football
and baseball. He has been playing
on the High School team for the
past two years, and has won his
letter avs on every team. He is
now playing shOrtstOp on the
High School team, and is eonsid-
cred the fastest base runner now
playing on a school team. Cloud
has been playing on the Highland
All-Wilmingt0n team of which he
was captain last season. His cleV-
er all-arOund playing last season
again won him the captaincy OF
the team this season and he Is still
putting up his usual good game
both on the High School team and
the Highland team.

that menace was simply that we should
ratify the pending treaty. Let US grant
that danger Of war with either Of those
powers seems infnitesimal, despite the
present reminder Of the possibility OF
the unexpected. The principle is no less
sound, and, as we all know. If IL were
made effective in the cases now pending
it would speedily be further extended
until every considerable power would
be practically bound by treaty not to any

be blind, indeed, who does not see IN the

course is well worth while, and that the

AFERTING POTENTIALITIFE.

The war is a startling and should be
an instructive and convincing reminder
q the malign and unexpected possibili-
ties which necessarily Turk among the
tangled and Earring nations Of the world
and OF the profound wisdom of holding
alOOf therefrom 10 the utmost possible
extent and Of adopting every practicable
safeguard against being involved in the
rivalries and animosities OF alien lands
We have Already remarked upon the sud
denness and unexpectedness Of this war
Equally noteworthy is the possibility Of
fits almost indefinite extension. AS our
London correspondent without exaggera-
ton observes, "Armageddon may come
in the course Of a few months" Turkey
weak at sea. but mighty on land, may
Tetaliate upon those who are cynically
conSenting TO her spolation by invading
Greece, which she claims 10 have as good
right to do as Italy has 10 invade
Turkey. Would the powers endure that?
Austria. who set in Bosnia the example
which Italy is following In Tripoll, may
make her long contemplated rush tow
ard SaloniCa and Bulgaria and Servia
may grab at Macedonia; and so on IN
I'll, all Turkey having been looted, the
spoilers quarrel among themselves over
the spoilS.
We are not predicting such compiled
tons, but If they should result and how
ever far they might extend, we should
-, - L.
sense But there is nothing more clear
tlan that we are secured from catas-
trophies Of this nature chiefly II not
wholly through our having followed the
prudent admonition OF Washington. that
we should not, by Intervening our
destiny with that OF any part Of Eu-
rope, entangle our peace and prosperity
lin the tolls Of European ambition. rival
"ship, interest, humor or caprice But
surely II should also be clear that IL
pursue an active as we'll as q passive
policy, and not only refrain from entan-
Cling ourselves needlessly with foreign
affairs, but also secure such safeguards
as solemn treaties can afford against
being made the object Of hostile con-
spiracies or leagues and against our
having an alliance directed against Us If
ever we should be so unfortunate as 10
have a violent controversy with some
single power.
This consideration marks, as a fine
Cpilogue 10 Washington's advice. the
scheme Of international arbitration
which the President has devised and
which is provided for In the pending
treaties. Down 10 a few months ago
two Of the most powerful nations in the
world had a mutual agreement under
which, IN certain circumstances. If one
Of them had become embroiled with us
the other would have been bound to at
tick Us also. But because OF our negO-
tiatiOn OF a general arbitration treaty
with one Of them they condtionally dis
solved that pact and freed us from the
possible peril % their united hostility;
and then the second one also sought
a similar arbitration treaty With Us.
And the condition upon which that pact
was dissolved and we were freed from

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I have read the letter addressed 10
YOU By Francisco Juarez, on September =,
regarding Mexican affairs, and l an as
tonished at the opinion he expresses. Mr.
Juarez says that Alr. Nadero has no, the
support Of substantial citizens Of the re-
public. That IS an erroneous view. because
one OF the strongest parties iu Mexico is
the Catholic party which IS formed by the
most substantial men OF the country, and
so is the Progressive party. whose candi-
date for the Presidency Of the republic is
lir. Madero. This candidacy has the sup
mort OF all social classes Of the republic, as
was proved by a practically unanimous vote
AZ the first free election held in Mexico.
The second view expressed in Mr.. Juarez' s
letter IS that OF an enemy OF his country
is the view OF q "c.enuhco,' and. thank
God. the country IS done forever with this
party. They win never succeed in over
throwing Madero and within a short time
Mexico will be governed by honest men and
