~ X-PRESIDENT ROOSE-
VI WELT, who has main
tanned a discreet silence
for several weeks, has at last
yielded to the irresistible inn
pulse to "bust out" He de-
mands an instant declaration
of war; the immediate des-
patching of our fleet to Euro
pean waters and the sending
of big army to the allies at
once.
Now if Mr.. Roosevelt could
only think to remember that he
is not the president of the Uni
ted States, not the secretary of
war, nor of the navy, nor even
an assistant, and not an army
or navy officer, we think he
could do much useful service
to the country, if the need
should arrive.
The coIonel's opportunity
for temperate, sensible, con-
structive work is probably COM
ing. Let us believe that he will
accept it.-Boston Post.

1T IS THE FAIR WAY

~ HE trend of events vastly
VI strengthens the senti-
ment for more vigorous
military preparedness by this
country and bring home forci-
bly, the merits of some scheme
for compulsory universal train
ing.
Through such a plan, wise
ly devised and administered,
this country may be provided
with a mammoth military ma
chine that could be placed in
good working order on short
notice in a time of national
need. At the same time the
training would interfere with
no ones industrial or profes-
sional career. The young men
of the country would be train
ed before they have become
married or settled down for
the active work of life. The
training would not necessarily
interfere with school work or
any employment. 1t would be
compulsory militia service
rather than service such as the
regulars must give.
The merits of a compulsory
training law is that it would
apply to all alike. There
would be no favoritSm. The

poor alike. Such a plan would
not take merely the aggres-
sive and patriotic, leaving the
others at home in safety and

so THE TOWN MAY EAT

HOE TALLMAN'S sugges-
ton that no vacant lot in
- Pendleton be allowed to
go to waste this summer is
good. The town needs vege-
tables and should look, not
merely to the summers needs
but to next winter as well.
There will be a food shortage
until after the war is over and
normal conditions are restored.
If proper measures are not
taken the cost of living may be
higher next year than this. One
of the best steps is to raise a
back yard garden and utilize
vacant lots. Let everybody do
so, be they rich or poor for by
such action the food supply
will be increased and thus pri-
ces held to a more moderate
figure.
Meanwhile why should not
the water commission offer
some concessions to those hav-
ing lots that must be irrigated
to make them productive. In
the view of the East Oregonian
the matter of increasing the
food supply for Pendleton is of
more Importance just now than
the establishment of that new
park on the reservoir hill.

SPORTS FOR ALL
That Is the New Collegiate
Athletic Slogan.
Secretary of War Baker Is Fa-
Their of the Scheme.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Aug. ia new era for
college athletics is at hand if t. men
tors of sports in our schools turnout
the country will put their shoulders to
the wheel.
At a recent conference of the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic association
at Washington, Secretary of War
Baker urged athletics for ALI in our
schools and colleges. He said that the
custom of making specialized athletes
out of the stronger and healthier stu
dents is well enough in a way, but he
pointed out that the greatest fault
with collegiate sports, as he saw it,
was the fact that students not ath-
1etically inclined are left to fill the
b1eachers' seats, and net encouraged
to take up healthy exe>cise.
Make More Men Fit.
From government standpoint in
these warsome times, the encourage
ment of college sports means the ele-
walton of physical fitness for a large
percentage of the youth of the nation.
Men who are physically fit have the
qualities necessary to the good sol
der, and, in the eyes of the govern
ment a cessation of college sports
would do a great and unnecessary
harm.
The National Collegiate Athletic as
ISOLATION did not adopt a resolution
10 encourage cOlleSe dInleIlcS on d
greater and more democratic scale
than ever before with the idea that
college youths are to be trained for
the ranks of the army alone. The
goal for which the governors of col
legiate sports are aiming embraces
more than that. 1t points toward the
adoption of universal athletic training
in some form for all college students
and the encouragement of physical fit
ness for all.
Easy to Follow Plans.
The message Secretary Baker gave
the college representatives, therefore,
has paved the way. The colleges have
only to follow the path.
Perhaps the greatest immediate
benefit to be gained thru the action
of the association is the effect it will
have on football. The great gridiron
sport was in a bad way prior to the
Washington meeting, because many
colleges took the view that dropping
all sports was the greatest patriotic
step they could take. Eastern foot
ball, especially, was doomed to eX-
perience a season of depression this
fall had it not been for Secretary
Bakers timely words. AS it stands
now, the great majority of eastern col
leges will keep football alive end kick
ing. In the west, where football was
to be continued, the sport faces
thriving season, despite depletion in
the ranks of the players, caused by
enlistments and the selective draft.

cessful New York battery on three
successive seasons. In those three
years Meyers dubbed for average of
1892, 1858 and .312.
Meyers never was fast on his feet,
but he always was dangerous hitter,
even after he began to lose his bat
ting eye. No one knew this better
than Wilbert Robinson, who had
coached the Giants and he saved Mey
ers from the scrap heap i'm 1916 and
despite his inability, he figured high
in the Brooklyn dash for a penna MT.
This season Meyers has been IN
able to hit even as well as he showed
in 1916. His throwing arm also has
lost its surenesS and power. The
acquisition of Ernie Kruger, yorng
backstop from the Giants and the re-
call of Mack Wheat left no place for
the veteran. He is expected to retire
from baseball, unless he signs with
another major league club. He is
