The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1916-10-25

Dear Review: In my former letter
endeavored to deal with two phases
of the war question; first, the measure
which should be taken. by the United
States in order to maintain itself at
the close of the war and second, that
it was no crime against patriotism for
any citizen to openly prefer the victory
of one country over any other country,
not his own. ~S
There is another phase Of the ques.
ton which appeals, solely to the self
interest of America and the wise pre-.
Judgment of which will be necessary
to our continued prosperity and peace,
and which should, to some extent, in
the light of patriotism, influence our
course as a people. -.. 49, ..g
The war cannot last forever. That
means that with each day peace is
drawing nearer and it is becoming that
we should look at the possible re-.
suits of that peace and consider how
they will affect this nation and where
the best interests of America lie.
There can be but three possible con.
illusions of the war. First; it may
be draw" All the nations may
become so exhausted and so wearied
with the struggle that they will be
glad to lay down their arms. This
would leave matters in statu quo,
boundary lines would be practically
unchanged, nations would ,Tsmain Of
the same relative importance and the
fires of hate would be banked, but not
extinguished. While for those who
see in this war a great step towards
universal peace. this outcome, would
be disappointing, for it would mean but
the postponement of the fight to- q fin
ish; its Immediate results would be
the best possible for the material vel
fare of the United States. There would
still be rival powers, each more an
xious than ever before to maintain
friendly relations with this country.
There could be no trade nor tariff re-
prisals or Determinations against us.
for each of these nations would need
us in order to regain its foothold both
politically and industrially. In other
words, instead OF there being any one
power or combination of powers strong
enough to impose it's will upon US or
to2defy us, there would be the same
nations as at present, all in weakened
condition and none strong enough to
injure us. Under such a peace the

would each claim parts of Germany.
Tho German colonies in Africa would
go to the nation which had conquered
them; while Japan would claim the
German possessions in Asia and free
hand in China as It's fee. In other
words this trade alliance of which the
allies are now boasting would include

Take Canada as, a concret example
|of what we might expect under such
conditions. :. There was time when
Canada, was jealous of its independ;
ence and chafed under the bonds which
held it to Great Britain, but with this
war all that has passed. Canada, after
the war, would be Just as eager to
show it's loyalty as it has been during
the war. There was time, too, when
there was much jealousy between the
English Canadians and the French.Ca.

tries fighting together in the trenches
this feeling has passed also. The ties
that have held but lightly have been
cemented in blood, and. after the war,

There will be every reimbursement

From the top to the bottom the ticket

ticket, that every republican on the
ticket will be elected. We therefore
admonish' republicans, for this year
at least, to stand by their ticket as all
loyal republicans should, and to. vote

We read a great many compliment
airy things about the Denison Bulletin
and in denunciation of other newspa-
pers, but they are all in the Bulletin
itself. The circulation of certain
other newspaper is a source Of great
trouble to the Bulletin editor. We
have never felt. disposed to take ex-
ception to the subscription record OF
the Bulletin. We are always glad to
hear of it's success and to know that
its subscription list is as large as
could be expected from paper of it's
merit. We have never thought it good
taste or good judgment to spend our
time trying to belittle a competitor in
business, and we do not believe that
is to- be gained by such
course.

The Bulletin editor last week EVIL
IDENTIFY sought to perpetrate a joke on
the readers of that paper when he
spoke about republican having said
that he could not understand why the
Germans this year would be against
Woodrow Wilson, that, in substance,
he had done nothing for which he
should be criticised The story on it's
surface looks decidedly fishy. and
nothing but a revelation of the name
of the so-called republican will con-.
vince any one that such declaration
was made by a republican. aE
Come now, Mr.. Bulletin Editor, give
us the name of the republican whose
solicitude in behalf of the German
voters would permit him to make this
extraordinary expression. We have
been unable to find republicans this
year worrying because the Germans
are not in sympathy with Mr.. Wilson,
and until the editor of the Bulletin
names the man who it is claimed made
the statement, we must insist that we
are from Missouri" =,

CHICAGO PLAYER
LOSES To CHURCH
Western Singles Net Champion Sue
cessfully Defends His Title
Against ByfOrd.

Chicago, Aug. 16.-George NJ. Church
of Tenafiy, \. J., successfully defend
ed his title of western singles cham
pion yesterday at the Onwentsia club,
Lake Forest, and in doing so outserv-
ed, OutdrOve, OutsmaShed and even
outpIaced Heath Byford, the local star,
who attempted to wTest away the title
laurels. Church repeated his perform
ance of last year, when he won from
ByfOrd in the final round, in more de
cisive fashion, taking straight sets,
ga, 90, 6-1
For the first six games of the open
ing set each man won his service,
love games out of the next four and
frame was all one-sided, with the
champion driving and smashing point
after point through Byford's defense.
ByfOrd's game of running his oppon-
ent from side to side of the court would
not work because Church could not be
passed at the net, and he smashed lobs
that would have driven other players
back to the base line. The challenger
won only the fifth game of the final
set
The first match to be finished yes
terday was the contest III the prelim-
mary national doubles between Maur-
ice E. Mclaughlin and Ward Dawson
of Los Angeles, the Pacific coast cham
pions, and A. Lindauer of Chicago and
Jack Cannon of Kansas City, the Mis-
souri, valley title holders. The coast
men were far and away superior to
their opponents in every way.

RICKENBACKER IN
GRAND PRIx RACE
Entries Now SwelleG to Eleven for
Classic To Be Run at Chicago Speed
way on Saturday.

Chicago. Aug 16. - With an entry
blank signed Eddie Rickenbacker, win
ner of the Tacoma, Wash, marathon
classic, safely slowed away in the
strong box of the Speedway Park asso-
citation, the field for the Grand PriX
cup race, on the boards for decision
Saturday, was raised to IL yesterday.
This list does not include the Packard
entries, which, it was announced yes
terday, would not be in the race, the
two cars being on the track for eXper-
imensal purposes only.
Rickenbacker wasted little time in
signing up for the local chase and
! then hoped a noon train for lnd1anap-
oils, all of which was surrounded with
more or less mystery. He was here
only short time when the report was
launched that he was through" rid
ing Maxwell mounts, and his trip to
the HOOsier capital was said to be IN
an effort to secure a new type of rae
ing car. Another rumOr had it that a
Kansas City millionaire is backing
Rick" in the coming event.
While the list of entries for the big
race may be smaller than at first ex-
pected, the speedway officials are not
disappointed, for they figure the class
OF the drivers Will offset any crlJl-
cism as regards the field. De Palma
and his Mercedes and Resta with his
Peugeot are, of course, looked upon as
the logical favorites, although there
is plenty of room for upset.
Louis Chevrolet has spent the last
two months working on his Frontenac
Special and many of the raiIbirds are
looking for him to cut considerable
figure in the race. The Frenchman is
far from satisfied with his showing on
the tracks so far this season, his main
difficulty being in getting capable
mechanics. He thinks he has finally
hit upon the right combination and if
his boat" stands up he promises to
show the speed bugs some of his old
time form.

VETERAN GIBSON rs
SOLD TO THE GIANTS

Pittsburgh, Aug 16.-George Gibson,
since 1905 a catcher for the Pittsburgh
National league Baseball club was yes
terday released to the New York club
of the same league. Barney Dreyfuss,
president of the club, in announcing
the transfer, said he had asked waivers
on Gibson, intending to give him his
unconditional release, but the New
York club needed a catcher to take the
place Of Rariden, who was injured last
Saf lay and put in a claim for him.
Gibson is considered one of the hardest
workers in the league, and established
a record in 1909 by catching in 140
regularly played games.

LESS WRANCLING
ON BALL FIELDS
Turning Point i'm the Conduct of Base.
ball on Playing Field Has Come,
Says Prexy Tener.

New York, Aug. 16.-The turning
point in the conddct of baseball on the
playing field has come. The game is
to be played from now on for the bene-
tit of the fans in the grandstand and
bleachers. not to satisfy some player
desiring to work OF his temper on an
umpire or an opposing player.
This was the statement of President
Tener of the National league in an in
terview yesterday.
I'VE have certain laws which are
meant to control the actions of players
and managers on the field, and here
tofore we have been forced to do all
the disciplining," said President Tener.
Hereafter the club owners are going
to take a hand with a view to stopping
all wrangling before it starts"
These rulings do not mean there will
be any lack of enthusiasm, according
to President Tener On the contrary,
there is expected to be just as much as
ever, with a little more cleanliness.
Coaching will be more encouraged
than ever. he said, but players in the
National league will have to continue
their conversational abilities to play
ers wearing uniforms like their own.
