The M~iddIeweiaht Middle.

The middleweight lineup Is getting
to look more like q Chinese puzzle
every day instead of getting so we can
find head Or tail to it. The way 1t
sounds is something like this: Dave
Smith has beaten Jimmy Clabby twice.
and Eddie McGoorty has won by the
knockout route three times owe Smith
Then on top of this McGoOrty gets Il
twenty round decision over JEFF Smith.
who in turn gets Il twenty round deci.

ters worse Clabby comes right back
and cleans up McGoorty on a foul.
How is any one going to dope a mess
ike that without being a candidate

far from having a champion in that
class as we were before Snowy Baker

AMERICAN
RESPONSIBILITY

FIFTEEN years of peace abroad
and prosperity at home have
equipped the United States for
the heavy responsibility of the
great neutral power in a world
at war. The first responsible
ty falls upon the government.
Its diplomatic representatives
bear the charge of the alien
subjects of belligerents in every
great capital of Europe. Its
consuls remain in closest touch
of any with the nexus of dis
torted world trade.
The formal mediation offered
bv the President and received
with courtesy is a later service,
to be rendered, if at all, when
war has measured the balance
of power, as it was given to
Japan and Russia and to Mexi-
co. When belligerents think
time for it may have come, the
amicable republic which has
cared for the subjects of all of
them in hostile countries will
be the most trusted intermedi-
arv among all. Minneapolis

they had been welded at church could
entertain their friends at a small cost,
the only outlay being the purchase OF
such provisions for their guests as they
brought with them. the house for the
day being given free of payment

TREMENDOUS WAR TASK

THE grapple of Germans and
French all along the frontier
from Holland to the Alps in
evitablv recalls the dramatic
events of 1870, when the Prus-
slams overwhelmed the French
and Bismarck dictated hard
terms of peace in Paris. But
it is already apparent that this
war is to be no repetition of
1870. says the Minneapolis
Journal.
The German tide of army
corps rolls in. rolls in, on the
French shore. beating it with
fire of cannon, fire of rifle, and
strewing it with costly argosies
of German dead. But France
seems really prepared this
time. There is no gay over
confidence to be turned to panic
at the revelation of unprepar-
edness.
Or to Berlin,' howled the
mad crowds of Paris in the
war delirium of that August
month forty-four years ago.
We will take Paris,' grimly
mutter the Germans now.
And the Germans may do
what they have set out to do.
But it will be no such exultant
promenade as that of the Prus-
sian Crown Prince in 1870
through the wales OF Cham
payne and down the lovely
valley of the Marine. If the
Germans get to Paris this
time, their road will be a way
of blood, paved with corpses.
The Germans are willing to
pay the price. They began to
pay it at Liege. They have
been paying it along the road
to Brussels, But between
Brussels and Paris lie many
Lieges. And when the Ger
man armies come at last be-
fore Paris, what will they
find? A fortress seventy-five
miles around. the hugest. best
defended fortress. perhaps in
all the wOrld-a fortress that
will shelter an army of a mil
lion men, and one the mere in
vestment of which will require
a million men.
Brussels has at length been
taken. Defenders have retired
into the great fortress at Ant.
werp. which experts say will
take half a million men six
months to reduce.
