their native country let them keep il

Evening Star readers by their foolish
talk.

the heated controversies

Peter Drobach was labeled the
"Champion of Poland" In an inter
esting cartoon, which appeared in the
Evening Star the day previous to the
disaster, it pictured Drobach with a
long beard and a bug in the bleach
ers yelling, Hey, Pete, take EN- Off,
we know you" We can now see our
selves in Drobach's position, with
the readers of "Sport Topics" shout
ing, Hey, F'renchy, take EN- off, we
know you"
Yes. we will take EN- off, and we
now appear before you not as
Frenchmen, but as true and loyal
Americans We have taken the
name of "F'renchy Corporation" as
we would any other name, and we
will continue TO sign ourselves so,
even at the great displeasure of IS.

Just as a tip to those who are in
dulging in this argument. The con-

G.
IS. o. e. Co. are again at the bat.
Let us see how they are hitting;
j. P. N:
There is a French saying: '"The
more fools the more fun
From the dark rooms of a factory
comes a profound, discordant voice
of a "basso," accompanied by an I'M
mense. tremendous chorus of 5000
voicesi Readers of sport Topics"
don't be afraid; it is our wonderful
canvasser Smith" who Is collecting
signatures against us. Welcome to
the "basso" in sport Topics!" He
sings a song of reproach, of challenge
to us. of insult to Italy. We Will
tell in a second this new correspond
ent what we think of him and his
supporters, if he has any. Here it is:
You have taken up the proposition
of collecting 5000 signatures among
your able chorus of singers against
our appearing again in sport Topics. "
All right, smith" it's up to you.
Get busy and show us your wonder
full canvassing abilityi While col
Iectine remember to "tie your bull
outside" We promise you, If you
will be able within q weeks time to
hand Mr.. ]. p n. 5000 signatures we
will keep our word to beat a retreat
and not to write single word more
for s'Sport Topics" We advise you
in collecting the signatures to use a
new city directory, which you will
find at the Newark Library The sig
natures must be accompanied with
their respective addresses.
In regard to what you say Of Italy,
with due respect to your heart and
brains and your wonderful ability as
"A canYasser, we cannot realize what
kind of matter is floating in the
hemispheres of your cranial capacity

| What is the trouble? What has Italy
and the Italians done to you. your
dear folks and your 5000 imaginary
| followers? why mention, in this per-
sonaI controversy the great name OF
Italy? You ought to be ashamed OF
yourself.
You must learn the great history
of Italy and the principal rules OF
education before you open your
| mouth to say liza and to offer insults
TO Italy and the Italians residing in
this country. In spare time please GO
! to the library, If possible. with your
| 80 per cent. of imaginary followers
| OF YOUR mysterious factory and ask
one OF the kind ladies' there where
the historical department is, and then
read. read, read, for heavens sake
and learn something about Italy We
refer you to what Arthur Brisbane
has to say of Italy and the Italians
In o paragraph he says:
"For more than 1000 years the
Italians have been among the hardi.
est men Of any race, and they haven
lost their power" And in concluding
he says: THAT is why We fight tn,
stupid prejudices against them"
To all disturbers of the peace o.
Sport Topics" we say once more t.
"cut IT out" mentioning italy in theil
feverish talks. We assure you
! Smith" that, although you feel sor
ry to mention the land Of your an

proud to return any time TO dear oil,
