Middle West
To Send Boats
For Big Show

Ira Hand, secretary of the National
Association OF Engine and Boat Manu-
facturers, Inc, and general manager OF
the fourteenth annual Motor Boat
Show, to be held in Grand Central Pal.
ace January 10 to 26, is on trip 70
Detroit and several other Middle West
ern cities securing new exhibitors.
From present indications, this seasons
exposition will surpass in interest all
former shows, largely because Of the
fact that the motor boat is TO play n
big part in this war in the role OF
submarine chaser.
The patriotic movement 10 assist the
government by donating privately
owned craft for war use is consider
ably wider in scope than the general
public realizes. For instance, the East
ern Yacht Club, OF Marblehead, Mass,
is a remarkable example of a collective
movement along this line, eight c2-foot
patrol boats having been donated re-
Gently by fourteen members Of this
club.
These fourteen banded together in
groups and financed the building Of the
vessels, which include the Daiquiri,
Ellen, Apache, Inca, Kangaroo, Commo-
dorc, Shark and Sea Hawk. They are
capable OF q miles an hour.

James Duncan, once Of the Mohawk
Club, Of this city, is a fitting example
Of the benefits TO be derived through
competing in weight events. When the
United States entered the war Duncan
gave up his position with the Third
Avenue Elevated Railroad TO enlist in
the engineering corps Of the army.
When he appeared for medical exami-
nation Duncan was Immediately accept
ed, the officer in charge making the
remark that he was perfect specimen
Of manhood. Duncan was among the
first of the American troops 70 reach
France. and for the last six months has
been helping rebuild the wrecked roads
behind the first lines Of trenches.
Duncan has to his credit on the A. A.
L. book the American records for
throwing the discus. Olympic style,
from a seven-foot circle and with both
the right and left hands.
Probably two Of the most prominent
track athletes now serving Uncle Sam
are Ted Meredith, one of the greatest
middle distance runners ever devel-
oped. and Bob Simpson, hurdler. who
has amazed the athletic world with his
sensational performances during the
last eighteen months.

This condition of affairs was made
manifest by the cancellation of the
1917 outdoor championships Of the
intercollegiate Association of Amateur
Athletes Of America. The Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States,
however, decided 20 hold its annual
outdoor games in St. Louis, and, with
the arrival Of the day Of competition,
it was found that in only three events
we're holders of titles won in 1916 on
hand TO defend them. The sixteen
missing champions were in the service.
Only $50 athletes were entered in the
meet. whereas in former years this
big fixture usually drew an entry three
times this number.

Meredith is now flying in France
along with Tommy Lennon, both Of
whom were graduated from the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania in June. lmme-
riately after leaving the Philadelphia
college Meredith went TO Cornell and
Mount Clemens, Mich, to complete his
study of aviation. Simpson has been
commissioned lieutenant from one OF
the Western training camps.
Two of Holy Cross Colleges most
sensational athletes-Joe T. Higgins
and ANDY b. Kelly-received lieuten-
antcy commissions from the recent
camp at Plattsburg. The Worcester in
stitution has boasted of having record
breakers on the cinder path, but none
can equal the fame gained by these two

After serving six months as an am
bulance driver on the French front, Joe
Loomis, the rangy Chicago A. A. hurd-
Ter and sprint champion, recently re-
turned to this country TO become a
member of an artillery division. lie
has joined the 333d Field Artillery at
Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill, and hopes
TO return to the European battlefield
soon.
That perseverance will gain its re-
ward was shown in the case Of Frank
p. Kieser, of the Morningside Athletic
Club. With no military experience,
Kieser Joined the first training camp
AZ Plattsburg, but at the end OF the
three months campaign was held over
on the reserve list. He applied for ad-

earnest efforts were repaid with COM

WE HAVE SOME HERE

Incredible as it may seem it is the truth nevertheless that we have men here whose views about the war are the views of the most radical l. w. W. They assert that the declaration of war by the United States not the sentiment of the majority of the people. That the money ed men caused this declaration to be made in der to benefit by the murdering of the poor. That instead of taxing the people to defray the eX- pense of the war, the government should have confiscated all the wealth of the rich men. That they are ready to fight for the United States, but only on our own soil That it was our privilege to stay at home and not insist on rights to use the seas since by doing so we endangered our lives. Such appears to be their conviction; ; yet you try to prevent them from taking their drink using their tobacco or eating a meal and you will soon find out that they will resent any interference with what they call their inherent right. According to all laws of civilized coun- tries, nation has perfect right to use the water without being molested This is what Germany wanted to prevent us to do which was resented by congress and caused the war.
 There is type or class of people for whom a law is something to be broken; general opin- ion is something to be opposed, prevailing con diton is something to be denounced and maj ior- ity is always a vicious tyrant to be tramped under foot at every opportunity. Such peoples do not hold any particular views because they believe they are right but because other people believe they are wrong. They have only one principal and that is whatever the majority does is wrong If we agree with them today they are sure to be opposed to us tomorrow There is no getting-together with that class of people anywhere because their function seems to be to raise hell exclusively. Yes, we have them right here.

THE DIRECTORS.

From what we can learn Seattle has nest of draft objectors who are causing some concern to the officials whose duty it is opass on the validity of the cause or causes given for exemp- tion from service. They meet with various ex- cuses from men who are desirous of keeping out of the army. According to some reports we are inclined to the belief that cowardice is at the bottom of it all. At the outbreak of the war, Germany had many of them, but few examples had a wonderful effect on the others. It may be that the United States will have to follow Germany's example, and regrettable as this may be, a man who is not man enough to defend his country should not be allowed to remain in the country. The manner by which he leaves the country should rest with him, provided al- ways that he leaves soon enough otherwise he may be deprived of his choice.

TIRED CITIZENS.

The Walla Union takes justfable fall out of the loafer who professes be a haymaker in winter and ice-cutter in summer. The Union says:
 There always who claim they are physically unable work. They look healthy, but can't stand the bad air the heat cold Constitu. tonal lazness is still fundamental human trait that crops out even in hustng America. A great many men with this trait finding work today who under ordin ary would be considered worth the they occupy the instruction necessary.
 such men are normal American types. There activity and ambition in American air and most o young people show it. But the prevailing vices gel hold of many men, and enfeeble their physques and parayze their minds. The unchecked production O feebleminded persons creates large class who are nearly incapable work Such elements these will have be fed clothed by their relatives and the public until the American people find way to check the prevailing vices that largely create them"
