ounce of experience is worth a ton of theory
 There are those who may say that an extension of five years for such a test will moan government ownership Personally l do not believe il. But whether sWch a test would indicate that the ultimate solution shall be .Eovenment ownership or a mc1ified form Of private ownership under ef- fectge federal regulation ehould Eot cause us to hesitate or refuse to act.
 If congress- does not extend taa tnse for goy5rnment control. said MI McAdoo, the railroads should be re- returne1 to pr."2tc mauagenlent "at the earliest possible moment"
 Practical dilIioU!ries of cortinuine government operati ,n under existing authouty ha pointed cut. aye the growing conflicts of authority Oe- tween state and federal jurisdiction. inadequacy of the half billion dol jar revolving fund for financms i'm provements, inability to for1e rail roads to pay for cars and locomotives without litigation and to require ter minal Improvements
 President Wilson, in his reCent ad- dress to congress said he was unable 10 decide wha. should be done w.th the railroads and asked congress to take up the question for disens5ion immediately He declared that unless action was forthcoming, he would be forced tc turn back the roads to rri- vate management
 Acting under this plan, the rail road administration has been preplr- ing to re,iuQuish control of the rail roads. and it was the general under standing that the administration would wait two or three months 1e- fore actually starting the relinquish- mept proceed.ns to give congress a chance to act
 Recent developments have shown the difficulty of determining a fna, policy at this time, however, accord ing to railroad administration offic- idle.
 Most railroad owners and manas- CTS are said tO have urged that the roads 1e reiinquished, but under some sort of remedial legislation giving them power to pool their resources and eliminate wastetul competition. There have boen no important advo- cates of restoration of the old con ditions, according to officials. On the other hand the friends Of the government ownership have just be- gun to renew a.-itatIon for retention by the government of permanent con- trol and later purchase of the roads property
 When the railroad control Was en- acted, Mir MCAdoO urged that the lfericd of control not be llmued to 2l months after the formal close of the war; saying this would not give opportunity for a real test of gov ernment management.
 At that time he expressed himself as opposed to government ownership.
 Recently he again expressed dis appointment that government man. agem nt had such limitations, say inlg that there was danger of the railroad question becoming d polit- ical issue in the elections of 1920 This would be unfortunate, he added, because the raIlroad question was purely entire anj should not properly be entangled with political issues.

The Hague, Dec. 1.-The formerA German emperor is entitled to the right of sanctuary in Holland and, therefore, his return to Germany can pob be demanoedi accorS.ng to a statement made today by Jonkher Beerenbruck, in the lower chamber of parliamen during debate on the visit of the former emperor to Hol- land.
 The premier said the government would have preferred that the former emperor had not chosen Holland as refuge but that he came as a pri- vate individual after renouncimg his throne without direct Or indirect mo- tification of his intended arrival Ali ter remuneration of his thone, Johnker Beerenbruck continued, there could not be a question of interment. nor could the formtr emperors return to Germany be demanded, in view of the immemorial tradition of right of sane- , tuary.

Uncle Sam Buys Balls
It is not generally known that the
government is supplying soccer foot
balls to the various camps all over
the United States and doing all in its
power to foster the game among the
soldiers A branch manager of one Of
the biggest sporting goods houses in
the country states that soccer balls
are very hard to procure these days,
owing to the large orders received by
the factories from the government
over 100 balls have been sent to en-
csmpments by the United States Foot
bail association and the governing
body intends sending many more as
fast as the money comes in from loyal
soccerites for this purpose
Every Man Can Play.
One Of the reasons this game has
met with the approval of the military
authorities is that very little equip
ment is needed nothing more than
bali being necessary for each team,
and that no special training is re-
quired, the men being able to take
the field at any time As neither
weight nor height is essential to q
player, the smallest and skinniest
rookie can take up the game at once,
and the sport has the advantage that
every player on the team is in action
all through a game. Although the
sport is a strenuous one and much
skill is required Of all who become
efficient, almost any man can play il
after reading up the rules a bit
What the French government thinks
of soccer is shown by its action in
supplying footballs to every regiment
in the army and, Of course, il is the
game of games for the British
Tommy
The game requires wind and good
muscle, and quickness of foot and
eye. The popularity OF the game in
military camps has assured the fu-
ture OF the game in the United States.
Thus has war been the means of
boosting the game instead of obliter-
ating it as was feared
