Sir: Does crime flourish in the small

which have stirred the country would in

answered in the affirmative. People un-
acquainted with rural conditions are as

The Uplift in COLLEGE Sports.

How fast the colleges are getting ahead III alb
sorbing the real spirit of amateur sport Is shown in
the adoption by the National Collegiate Athletic
Association of supplementary set of baseball rules.
These rules govern conduct the field and forbid
oral coaching from the bench unnecessary talk by
the catcher, either to the pitcher or the batsman,
and most important of all. cheering from the stands

contests are to be conducted hereafter plane OF
Chesterfedian courtesy as should he the case since
the visiting team is the guest of the college visited
and is entitled to the largest hospitality

Those who remember the unsportsmanlikc din
which used to he raised when visiting team showed
the first sign Of weakening will blink their eyes
when they read about these new extensions of base
ball ethics. The world moves and the spirit If
fairer play is making itself felt even in the deep
seated and instructive rvalries Of college games.
Dean Briggs. in his address TO the National Asso-
cation did not overstate the case when he said.
speaking of football:
When contrast the Yale-Harvard games that
used to see at Springfield with the Yale Harvard
game of this year. my confidence in the future of
college sportsmanship grows strong. wonder how
many of us elders who sit in judgment would have
behaved as those ardent hgh-strung boys. The
selfcontrol the players of to-day is little short OF

THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
The white Slave" Films Are Praised
and Defended.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / am deeply interested in the great
fight now on in New York TO prevent the
white slave" films from being shown TO
the public. thus putting in force again
the conspiracy of silence when mas
been the means Of sending millions OIL
young girls to their doom.
Every minister. every politician, every
newspaper and every man directly con-
nected with the profits from that nefari-
Gus business might just as we'll be king
Canute on the shore commanding the
waves to stand back as to try to pre-
vent the public and the potential victims
of this business from becoming aware OF
how these girls are caught and forced
TO make profits for cadets. real estate
agents. policemen and those the police
men collect the money for. These people
can invent every possible ana plausible
excuse for fighting against the protec-
ton of young girls, but the time mas
passed for ever when we women can be
deceived. There are only two sides 10
this question. Those that are not lot
giving protection 10 the girls in the only
effective way, for there is no power Ike
that of knowledge, are against their be-
ing protected. There is no sidestepping,
no cvading the straight, clear issue, and
the line has now been drawn between
those who believe i'm the double standard
for men and the degradation that double
standard forces on helpless girls ana
those who believe in clean manhood as
well as womanhood. We women can now
pierce every deceptive excuse brought
forward
No man who has always lived clean
life will ever object TO girls knowing tne
pitfalls set for them unless he Is proilt-
ing from their ignorance, and every eN-
cuse he brings forward for suppresslnS
most valuable knowledge is worthless
The one and the only reason for Keep
ing young, fresh girls ignorant is never
and will never be brought forward FOR
obvious reasons We women are going
10 work hard. and as fast as the laws
prevent us from helping in one way we
will think out another
New York girls furnish large percent
age of tho victims. and ii is more diificult
TO have girls protected in New York than
i'm any other city I'm the United States.
Every drama every book, every moving
picture tending TO help them To keep out
of danger that is allowed i'm other cities
and states II stopped I'm New York.

The ticket brokerage abuse has been largely an

II would he a rather ironCal twist of fate II 10
Iosc1hus Daniels, the most levelling and democratic
Secretary the navy has ever had, should go the
credit of establishing vice-admiralships as per
n,ancnt naval grade The creation OF this grade
except for the purpose Of rewarding exceptional
service has always been opposed as an aping of the
arisocratic spirit of foreign military services See
ing the practical advantages Of giving the command
ers Of American fleets or squadrons on foreign sta
lions higher rank than they now have, Secretary
Never tried hard two years ago to have two vice
admira ships established, the rank TO hold only
during active service; but Congress, influenced by
-, false democratic sentiment, rejected the Secre-
tary's proposal
The trouble with the system of giving no regular
rank in the navy higher than rear admiral Is that
when emergencies arise on foreign stations the

Of the fleet under him the larger relative i'm
portance of American interests is likely to be asked

An ANGLICAN Church Controversy.

It is not easy to understand the excited discussion
aroused in the Anglican Church by an act OF the
Anglican Bishops of Uganda and Mombasa last
summer. It seems that the remarkable growth oil
Mahometanism in East Africa has given great
concern to the Christian missionaries in that region
and in June about sixty of them representing all
religious bodies met at the little town of Kkuyu to
consider how best TO halt the Mosem advance
The conference very successful, and in order 10
emphasize the fraternal spirit developed 1t was de
cided to close the conference with united com
munion the Bishops Of Uganda and Mombasa Of
fciating.
There is rubric in the Prayer Book that no per-
sons shall be admitted TO communion unless they
have been confirmed ready to be confirmed
And as soon as it became known that two bishops
had disregarded this rubric by admitting "sectari-
ans to communion, q storm of angry protest was
aroused that seems to be increasing in vrulence,
until now some of the most influential bishops in
England openly express the fear that it will result
in schism which will split the Church in two The
English newspapers are full Of letters pro and con
on the subject and the bitterness evoked has so
greatly widened the chasm between Angcans and
Nonconformsts that al hopes of bringing about
any kind Of unity between them have been COM
pletely shattered.
OF itself, of course, this Kikuyu incident is not
important enough to produce such a commotion A
similar technical violation OF the same rubric has
frequently occurred I'm this country without caus-
ing any serious criticism The late Bishop DOane
of Albany, who was a strong High Churchman, was
in the habit of admitting neutrality-suspicious. to com
munion, and justified his practice. But the fact is
that for many years past the Anglo Catholic and
Modernst parties in the Anglican Church have been
drifting further apart, and it is becoming more and
more difficult for them TO remain in the same com
munion. Not only is their point of view as regards
the Church radically different, but they no longer
hold the same creed. The Modernists put totally
different Interpretation some of the fundamental
dogmas of the Church. and claim that it is not only
their right but their duty TO do so. The Anglo
Catholics denounce them unbeevers and traitors.
and loudly call on them to lave the Church whose
creeds they have fouted. And they using this
incident in East Africa part of their general
campaign to drive out all who give any recognition
to Professionalism.
