come ont when we are satisfied.
1t is dreadfully easy to get i'm
to war and not easy to get out. /
Before committing ourselves
to the belief that ours should
be independent participation
in the conflict, it might be well
to consider the plight we
would be in, soon after we had
plunged in, if peace were to be
arranged among the belliger-
ents-except as to ourselves.
the independents. We would
then find ourselves contending
with Germany single handed.
Some Of these cocksure Yam
KEGS are not sure but what the
United States, by itself, unas-
sisted, could handle Germany
without difficulty. 1t must be
admitted that even after elner-
ging from the war somewhat
battered the imperial army
and navy might place some OBJ
stacles in our path. But what
is perhaps just as important
to us, under such circumstances
we would not be represented at
the great peace parley. We
have been looking forward to
playing large part in the fin
al settlement of this war. 1t is
Of vital concern that we shall
do so. 1t does not require e
great deal of debate with one
self after considering the many
angles of the strange tangle il
which we are involved to reacI
the conclusion is that If we be
come involved in the war i
must be in full alliance Will
our antagonists enemy, bounC
with them to agree no sepa
rate peace. Our armies will no
be needed on foreign soil, blu
beyond doubt will be needed a
home in great numbers to cop
with situations that promise t.
arise. To the navy will fall tn
brunt of the great undertaking
and if it succeeds in openin;
and keeping open the sea lanes
we will have succeeded in rem
dering the greatest posisbl
service to our allies. We ar
just beginning to realize wha
it means to us to be a worl
power, and we are finding tina
many of our old tradition
must be reshaped to meet ne,
conditions. This does not mea
that we must lay aside any G
our cherished ideals; it doe
. mean that If we realize theI

partners in the war. The Unit
ed States can, and doubtlessly
will, move for a diplomatic set
Element on the basis of proper
ty losses after the war when
the matter may be handled
thru the channels of diploma
cy. At no time have the repre-
sensations to the warning pow
ers contained even a threat of
war based on property losses.
We have contended for the OBJ
seryance of the law in this re-
spect, but not in violent lang
uage.
It remains true to this day
that in her disregard for inter
national law on the seas as it
has affected neutrals, ourselves
among them, England and her
allies have not brought about
sacrifice of human life. On the
other hand, the German sub
marine has counted life cheap
and has sent hundreds Of in
offensive men, women and ev-
en- children to the bottom of
the sea. AS if to shamelessly
flaunt the crime before an out
ragged world, the Iron Cross has
been pinned to the breasts of
the sea fiends who trained the
guns OH the innocent victims
of terror and frightfullness. It
is against this barbarity that
the United States is prepared
to loose its instruments of war
having failed to arouse the
sleeping conscience of a war

MEN OF DESTINY FURNISH THRILL, 4
IN BASEBALL WORLD; HAVE THEIR
OFF DAYS, BUT KEEP IN SPOTL LIGHp
Frank Baker, Rube Marquard and Benny KauH
Are Marked Figures Despite Sagging Play and
Inconsistent Work-Joe Jackson in 300 Class
By GRANTLAND RICE

THERE are certain men of destiny In
l. baseball as we'll as in other zlgzag
walks Of life
This doesn't necessarily mean leading
stars, such as Mathewson, Wagner, Cobb,
LaJoie and Speaker.
Frank Baker was one OF the men Of base
ball destiny. So was Rube Marduard, to
marked degree Rube had the knack OF
Topping from one spotlight TO another.
Wherever he lit, there the great white
flame burned upon him. He first nipped
his nineteen straight. Then he picked up
a twenty-one-inDing affair, the league record
for long games until several yeaps later,
when he concluded a twenty-two-inning
affair on the victorious side.
Another man of baseball destiny Is Benny
Kauff. Benny led the Fed. circuit twice
and for a spell drew even more publicity
than Ty Cobb. And then, around year
ago today. Benny sagged. He had faiIed
to bat 800 or anywhere near the mark.
Apparently, he was on the verge of drop
ping out. Now, a year later, he is not only
back among the league leaders making
gestures toward the top but he Is on the
verge of dashing into what promises to be
the most spectacular worlds series OF recent
years. And Benny, with the Destiny at
tachment, Is quite likely TO be leading
feature. He may win It on a play or he
may lose It on play, but he isn't very
liable to be neutral in the matter.
The Giant Average
John J. McGraw needs this world series
badly-needs to win IL badly-or needs bad
Jy to win it-by way Of obtaining a fairly
respectable average.
To date, he has INDUCED in four OF these
October championships, with only one
triumph against three defeats. Tls lone
Triumph came when Matty sat in with three
shut-outs But his last three starts,
against the Athletics and the Red Sox, have
been replete with woe and trouble. If he
drops this next October session his cham
pionship percentage will be 200 Collecting
the losers end is better than not collecting
at all, but over twelve years between VIC
tories leaves a depressing stretch.
So Why Bother?
II Colonel T. Raymond Cobb can become
involved in the morose processes of a
slump. why should the average citizen be-
come depressed when affairs at times fail
to break gently?
If Cobb can light upon an extended
slump. that makes slumplng an Inevitable
adjunct
