There is something about the letter
Of J. a. X, that appeared in The
News-Times yesterday that commends
it and cOmmends it highly. If there is
anywhere in the world where a square.
deal should be dealt out it is to the
youngsters and especially on such oc-
casions as field day. conducted under
public tuition. That boys or girls Of
ten or twelve years old. and of aver
age size, should be required TO COM
pete with overgrown duIiards of three
or four years more age and greater
size. simply because the latter have
not been able to make the grades as
they should. places the younger chill
dren at a disadvantage, and one not
so very encouraging.
They wouldn't cOuntenance such
disproportion at a prize fight wrest-
ling match or a horse race. In these
hght-weights meet light-weights, well
lightweights meet Hghtweights, well
heavy weights meet heavy-weights.
and even at a horse race the rider or
driver must weigh-in for the match
within certain bounds, even If he needs
To MI his pockets with lead ON the
same basis, school grades against
school grades, with the contestants
kept down To some average of age
and size, would seem both possible and
desirable There ought to be as much
fairness about a school field day as
about a prize fight, a wrestling match
or d horse race. even if betting is not
allowed.
Indeed. yes. we would suggest some
consideration of this subject by the
promoters OF the children's field day

WHAT WOULD BELGIUM DO?

One of the most unfortunate posi-
bilities. in case a break should come
between the United states and Ger
many, is that the Belgians would be
left helpless. If we were at war with
Germany. the Americans in charge Of
the Belgian relief work would of
course be expelled from the country.
They might be expelled if we should
merely break off diplomatic relations
They are there now only by sufferance
of the German army board
There are still 100000 people in
the great Belgium bread line" OF
this number 100000 are absolute OBJ
jects of charity: the rest are able TO
pay for their food in whole or in
large part.
Contrary TO the belief OF most Amer
leans. this country has borne a COM
paratively small part of the financial
burden Altogether about $50. OOO,-
600 worth Of cash and supplies have
been contributed from all parts of the
world. Perhaps S4O.OOO,OO0 worth of
foodstuffs have gone from the United
freight has been paid for with funds
raised elsewhere. The Belgian COM
mission had. to start with, a working
capital of $14,5OO,OOO provided by the
Belgian banks and other institutions.
Large sums have been contributed by
England and other countries 1t is
said that 10000 600 would cover the
food supplies actually given by Amer
leans or paid for with American mon
ey.
Some other neutral nation might
take charge of the work if we were
forced to drop it, 1t is unthinkable
that this great philanthropy, in augu-
rated and managed by Americans,
should lapse and actual starvation
should be the lot of a nation that has
already suffered far too much. Amer
leans could still provide funds and
food. and would doubtless do so as
literally as ever, if some responsible
agency were found to handle them.

HISTORIC TARGETS.
(Terre Haute Tribune.)

I
To those observers Of current events
who remember the fate of Louvain,
some apprehension comes over the
plunge of Italy into the war Venice,
with St. Marks, the ducal palace, the
restored campanile and many scracely
less notable monuments of the highest
art of past centuries, is a brilliantly
shining mark. 1t lies near the Aus
trian frontier, within easy flying dis
stance for army aviatOrs. OfScourse no
possible military advantage is TO be
gained by destroying or injuring the
city. and il may be hoped that the
Austrians will confine their attacks TO
military establishments both at Ven
ice and elsewhere.
The first aerial activities Of Italy S
enemies give ground for this hope. The
aviators who attacked Venice are not
reported as attempting to damage any
part of the city except buildings used
for military purposes. Such attacks
are justifiable, and neither Italy nor
the outside world can make any just
complaint The Austrian moderation
is highly commendable.
Florence Rome. OrvietO, Pisa, Mi
Ian and other Italian cities famed for
their wonderful monuments of by
gone ages will probably be immune
from attack because of their distance
from the frontier The Adriatic cities,
notably Ravenna, with its remarkable
relics of prerenaissance art, will be in
constant danger. If Austrian bitter
ness toward the Italians Of today
spreads to include the Italians OF for
mer ages nothing can assure the pres
erVation OF many works of inCalcula Die
value to mankind.

Every community mentioned in con-

MOTORS IN THE YELLOWSTONE

At last the department of the in

years and the work is still going on.
There are many stretches. however.

THE MAN THE WORLD OWNS.

My country and my king call me,
and 1 must hasten to the front to Of
fer my life as a true soldier"
Patriotic sentiment and manfully
expressed, and quite characteristic of
the man and his nation.
GiuSeppi Marconi, an Italian, a sol
der by the law which requires all men
of his land to do military duty, was
the man who expressed his willing
ness to give his life if need be for his
country. As such, he was perfectly
right in his prompt response to the
call.
But MarcOni, the scientist, the in
ventor Of the wireless telegraph, is
not alone an Italian-he is one who
owes allegiance to humanity, ito the
entire world. His life does not be-
long TO his country nor to his king
and his vision is too circumscribed by
the horizon of the danger threatening
his native land
Marconi belongs to America. to
Britain, to France-aye. to Germany.

with the multitude OF ships of peace
and of war, claims the right to pro-
test the call of one mere nation and
one mere human king TO MarcOni to
come and immediate himself on the
altar of patriotism.
Civilization gasps in distress at the
thrusts and stabs inflicted by the ma
tons in the barbarOus game called

almost to shreds and stained with the
red blood of warrior and civilian, of
women and children, of youth, man
hood and age.
She, too, lifts up her voice in pro-
testing lamentations against the ruth
less call TO sacrifice of the sons she has
given TO the world and for the better
ment of mankind.
Marconi is not the only citizen of
the world who has made the supreme
sacrifice. but his call is the latest TO
startle the thoughtful, and he stands
out just at this time as an example Of
the memorable injustice Of g system
that makes il possible for the whole
world TO risk so much that one more
little target be set up for the guns of
the enemies Of his native land. OF
course. MarcOni will go to his duty as
he sees it as an Italian. He may es-
cape the sweep of death-dealing lead
and iron and the scourge of disease.
He may fall an early victim TO either.
Even so. what has the king and his
country gained? Even so, what has

Every possible means should be
used to overcome the bad impression
created by such infractions of business

creating an unprecedented opportunity
for the extension Of our foreign trade,
rot only temporarily but permanently.

have promoted and assisted a project

TILE FLAG.

dayton Daily News.)
There ought to be a flag of our na-
ton in every American home. We
ought to pay at least that much at
tention to the details Of patriotism.
We are brave enough as a people; we
are jealous enough Of the nation; we
are boastful enough of our union. But
we do not pay as much attention to
the smaller affairs in connection with
patriotism. We do not always remove
the hat when we hear the strains of
the national air-as we should. We
do not always arise when the band
or orchestra begins the tune that in
spires. And there are a lot of homes
right here in this city that do not
possess an American flag of any kind
whatsoever.
The Daily News is doing what it can
to encourage the possession by every
home of a flag 1t is not a money
making scheme. The profit is not suf-
ficien to be worth while. There is con-
siderable trouble in connection with
the proposition. But there ought to
be more flags in this city, and this
paper is doing what it can to induce
people to secure an inexpensive piece
of bunting that represents all this ma
ton stands for.
1t would be we'll if every home pO-
ssess even a bigger and better flag
than the one which the business Of
flee is disadvantages several of
them. so far as that goes. But every
home ought to possess some sort of
American flag. The children ought to
play with the flag of their country.
They ought TO have it before them
constantly. And the homes of the
city ought to be decorated with the
Stars and Stripes more frequently than
has been the case in the past. When
all the world is at war, or nearly all
of it, 1T is a pretty good time to tell
the kiddies about the Stars and Stripes
and to impress upon them that the
hammer stands for peace.

New York Fifth avenue merchants
are in a bad way Besides the war
and consequent hard times" they have
another grievance. 1t seems that when
the big stores moved up town leaving
vacant space behind them. garment
manufacturers and other workaday
institutions Of various sorts took their
places. And now these are crowding
hard upon the new shopping district
Their operatives. out for a few min
utes airing at noon. naturally flock
TO the beautiful avenue and the streets
adjoining. looking in the windows,
watching the well-dressed crowds and
in other ways enjoying themselves
as other Americans are wont TO do on
the famous thOroughfare.
But these workers are most "unde-
sirable." Says the New York Times:
Many OF these workers are unkempt
and their conduct is not such as to
make their presence agreeable to shop
pers. They do nothing, however. to
offend against the law or ordinance,
and are. therefore. not subject 10 po-
lice discipline. Storekeepers say they
hurt business and wish them kept
away from in front of their doors and
windows"
It's hard TO believe that in the short
incoming of the operatives much dam
age can be done 70 real business. Sc
rious purchasers buy anyhow. Idle
gazers and shoppers do no real bust
ness even If well dressed. There is a
theory, even in New York, that tie
