America Simply Fighting for
Americans, Says Northcliffe
This Nation Not in War to
Make the World Safe for
Democracy, He Says.

That this Is not a commercial war
and that the United States is not in it
to make the world safe for democ-
racy," is declared by Lord Northcliffe,
head of the British war mission. in a
plain spoken article, entitled What
America Is Fighting For" appears in
the October issue of Current Opinion
magazine. Lord Northcliffe takes is
sue with President Wilson and refutes
a stock argument of the yelled pro-Ger-
man press in stating that "if this coun-
try bad meant to take up arms in de-
Tense of British or French interests, or
in the interest of Belgium, or in or
der to spread democracy, it would not
have waited until April. 1917. If its
aims had been commercial, 1t would
have been in the war long ago. The
motive which brought the United
States in was not sympathy with any
other nation, was not desire for gain,
was not an abstract fondness for dem
ocratic as opposed to autocratic gov
eminent; 1t was self interest, self
preservation. self-respect. The Ameri-
can people are not fighting to make
the world safe for democracy, but to
WAY TO DO 1T.
The only way to do this, Lord North
cliffe asserts, is to make Prussia ad
init that her theory of state which has
no conscience, a state which can do no
wrong. is out of date. THE German
people," he adds. have been purposely
deluded into the belief that they are
defending themselves against foes who
are set upon crushing them out of ex-
istence, a design which nobody but a
lunatic would conceive or imagine pos
sible of execution. Austria fancies
that she went to war to defend herself
against Russia, the truth being that she
was used as cats paw by the Hohen-
zollern gang. Bulgaria Is still under
the delusion that she will gain the re-
ward promised her by Prussian junker-
dom for her treachery to her fellow
Slavs.
Even among the allies there exist
misconceptions as to the causes and
aims of the struggle. A number CT.
English people still fancy that Brit
ain could have kept out of the con-
flict If Belgium had not been invaded.
These people are still unable to un-
derstand that Prussias object in fore
ing the war upon France and Russia
was in order to clear them out of the
way to be able to attack England and.
in course of tima the United States.
with a good prospect of success later
on.
In Russia the pro Prussian propn-
have infested many with the
crazy notion that the new republic has
no interests of it's own to defend
against Germany, and only remains in
the war for the benefit of France and
Britain. l have even heard French
people speak as if their country took up
arms for the purpose of regaining AL
SAGE and Lorraine, whereas we know
that France would never have brought
upon the world the frightful calamity
of war for selfish aims.

MAX BEHR MAKES STRONG PLEA
FOR A REAL, GENUINE NATIONAL
GOLFING ASSOCIATION IN THE u. s.
Says 1t Is High Time u. S. G.. A. Was National in
Reality as Well as in Name-The Defec-
tion of the w. G.. A.

Mr.. Perrin asserts that he was not fully
quoted by the reporter who interviewed
him. Apparently, his true meaning was not
understood The L. S. G. A. president
stated emphatically that he considered the
action OF the Western Association most de-
plorable. 1t is a well-known fact that the
stymie probably would have been consd-
cred by the u. S. G. A. in conjunction with
the British Association. When the war
broke out the two countries were getting
very close together In golf matters and sew
eral points were to be considered Jointly,
when men could get the horrors of war
from their minds. To continue golf during
the war is well enough. but certainly 1t is
no time for America to take the bit in its
teeth and run wild in golf legislation when
circumstances will not permit our British
comrades to think with us. These thoughts
qualified Mr.. Perrin's statement, but with
out them It made a better story by half
quoting him. so 1t mattered little whether
the game might be hurt by bringing criti-
cism upon the head of the president Of
the U. s. G. A., who already has much TO
contend with simply because he happens to
be the chief executive during very trying
times.
writer of golf comment does not have
to go out Of the way to get anything sensa-
tional. We all think too highly of Mr. Per-
rim to write anything that will hurt him
We simply reported his remarks as he made
them. There is no doubt that he feels yerv
keenly about the action of the Western Golf
Association. and possibly IL he had thought
the matter over he would not have expressed
himself so forcibly.

The Old Cunning Remains
II has been two years now since Travers
has taken part in an amateur champion
ship.
For the last two years he has known very
little Of tournament play. as his game has
been confined to the Saturday afternoon
and Sunday schedule. So. despite his known
record for match play greatness, no one
thought the fve-time champion was quite
good enough to face the task he tackled
last week.
He was called upon to face three Of the
greatest golfers in the country over three
of the hardest New York courses. all vary
ing In style. He was put In against GIL
Nichols at Baltusrol, Jock Hutchinson at
Siwanoy and Walter Hagen at Garden City.
This Is about as tough schedule as any
golfer could take on. But after fifty-four
holes Of match play against this formidable
trio including three Of the most brilliant
professionals In America, Travers finished
five holes to the good. He was 3 up on
Nichols 1 down to Hutchinson and 8 up
on Hagen. And the two shots that beat
him in the Hutchinson match were 330-
yard drive and 240-yard spoon shot to an
uphill green, two of the most remarkable
shots of the year This showing Is evidence
enough that Travers will still be on hand
as a championship contender when tourna-
ment play is resumed beyond the Red Hori-
zon.

German newspaper, admits the falsity
of the German pretention that the vio-

campaign of August, 1914, was due to
military and defensive necessity pro-
voked by alleged preparations of the
french to invade Germany through
Belgium. Gen. Won Freytag-Loring-
hoven writes that, on the contrary,
the French originally started to con-
centrate their armies along their own
eastern frontier and made a belated
change in their plans only after the
German offensive was set in motion
through Belgium and the Germans
profited greatly from the resulting
confusion and delay.
