GALL IS FOR THE BEST"


 There are many people worrying now because of Professor Irving Fishers statement that as nation we are 99 per cent. physically unfit. There Is but one whole man out of every hundred in the United States.
 Let the pessimists worry. We have We were worse of as thirteen colonies, yet we succeeded in admins tering a severe beating to England. The boys at Bunker Hill were prob- ably poor specimens of physical at tractiveness, as viewed from the standpoint of the alarmists; yet the boys there came through in hne fashion. The same was true with our sailors in the war of 1872. And again in '61, the youngsters on both sides of the struggle would probably not measure up to the requirements of Professor. Fisher. and his idealists. We were more than 99 per cent. physically unfit in 1898. and on top of that, the boys in blue fought against the ravages of embalmed beef: but they too delivered what Uncle Sam wanted.
 Somewhere in Caesars commentar- ies, or perhaps it is in Cicero's ora aons may be found the line, we should worry" Or, as Eugene Field once blazoned 1t to the world, "De gustibus non disputandum est. ' which meaneth. as he translated it. that ''All is for the best".

APPLYING THE FUNDA1IETCTAns
 OF A SOLDIER,

IaE1AY 1NG THE FUNDAMENTALS
 OF A SOLDIER.
 The Young Soldier has now been initiated into the fundamentals which make up the fighting man. All war Is serious business-modern war . busaness of tremendous gravity It as not play; with the nation at war, there is no time for play. America must realize," say the French gen. erals. "that she cannot play at wal"
 Whether or not America plays at war or preparing for war depends upon whether the Young .American Soldier. individually. and collectively, goes about his training In . spirit of play, or in deadly earnest. The Young Soldier would do we'll to see the moving pictures-if he has the opportunity-delfneating the work of tho British In building up their im- mense citizen armies. If he can do so. he will note at onoe that they did not ''play at war"
 The driving earnestness of their training in Engiand-which reached fruitfon in France against the Hin- denberg line-differs entirely from the spirit in which such training has been undertaken by a nation at peace. And so in every duty which Is now assigned to the Young Soldier. how ever trivial it may at first seem to him. he must remind himself that his Country Is actually at war-that he must learn these things for early application in the battle zone.
 It is true that details of his train- ing may be altered or modified to suit the dew conditions of warfare, but the Fundamentals will remain the same. And these fundamentals discipline, intelligence initiative, teamwork espirit de corps have always won battles and wars, and will continue to win battle and

BALTIMORE w1rHDRAws SUIT.
Antitrust Action Against Organize
 Baseball Suddenly Dropped.

\
 Philadelphia, June 1e.-The Balti- more club Of the defuHct Federal League yesterday withdrew its anti trust damage suit against organized baseball. The action of the Balti- more club in dropping the suit was taken, counsel said, because 1t waa convinced that the representatives. of organized baseball' had not en- tered into conspiracy to destroy the business of the Baltimore club
 Nothing was said in announcing the withdrawal regarding the question of whether organized baseball was be- ing operated in violation of the anti- trust laws.
 The members of the National Base ball Commission and attorneys for the defendants said they were not surprised at the action of the Balti- more club. The court was informed there had been no settlement out of court or suggestion of one.
 It was said by prominent members of organized baseball that the Balti- moro club decided to withdraw tho suit after its counsel had read the stenographic minutes of the peace meeting held in New York in Decem- Der. 1915. These minutes. called for and placed in the record by the plain tiff, showed that the Federal League representatives at the meeting had stated that they officially represented the league and had authority to act.
