NATIONS PROGRESS
 WHEN WAR IS OVER
By HOLLAND

New York. January 1S.-(Specia1) )
 On February 16, next, pr. Nicholas
 Murray Butler, president of Columbia
 university, will deliver two addresses
 before representative bodies of St
 Louis. One of these addresses will
 be made by him as the guest of the
 Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis.
 Thes; other will be delivered by him
 upon the invitation of the Commercial
 club of St. Louis. One of the ad- dresses is to be delivered at the noon hour and the other in the evening.
 pr. Butler, after having accepted these invitations, was persuaded that the time was opportune for speaking not only to representative citizens of St. Louis, but by means of the au- dience which they would furnish to the people of the United States upon what he regards as two of the pre- eminently great issues of the time. While preparing these, addresses he was in doubt which one he would de- liver in the presence of the Chamber Of Commerce and which he would de- liversto the members of the Commer- cal club. But he was in no doubt about the treatment of the subjects. One of the subjects will be sug- gested by the title of the address which is the Programme of Prospec- tive Progress" The exclusive theme of the other address is we'll indicated by the title which is "The Road to Durable Peace"
 It may be that one of these ad- dresses will be read by the country as having somewhat of political tinge. At all events, Dr. Butler be- lieves that the country has not vet fully realized. ner>shas Con gress fully accepted the responsibility of working out an adequate programme of con- structive progress, both for the war and after the war is ended
 At an address delivered by Otto Fl. Kahn at Milwaukee a few days ago. he spoke of the necessity. as he re- garded it. of so mobilizing industries and so handling finance, as to fur nish an adequate means whereby we can be thoroughly prepared for the and stupendous indus trial, financial and commercial condi- t1ons which we must face after the war ends. MT. Kahn went so far as to suggest the organization of a commission whose members would be representative men in industry. fi- nance and commerce and whose re- sponsibility would be in part so shap- ing our energies and undertakings

''Nopew
 Do you mean to say that you live in this city where the fight was held and which attractedl world wide in- terest and yet you don't know any thing about it?"
 Yep, that's it; never heard tell about that fight When was it?"
 You're excused" cut in the judge, ending the comedy.
 Among the jurors who were selected early was a big husky who wore about pound of chewing tobacco inside one cheek and who kept winking at me every time I looked his way, as much as to say:
 Leave it to me. kid Yo' all is goin free''
 Finally the jury was selected; it heard the evidence, retired and re- turned five minutes later.
 What is your yer iict?" asked the judge
 Not guilty was the reply. And Charlie Mitchell and I were free.
 After the formalities of our dis missal were over, look ed over at Charlie. who was standing about 10 feet from me on the other side of the judges bench. Charlie looked at me and both of us smiled The old en- nifty between us that had lasted for nearly three years was gone in a twinkling. And Charlie and walked out of the courtroom together arm in arm.
 My first real introduction to Mitchell had been through the medium of our quarrel over the theatrical engage ment. A bitterness was created then that was increased as time went on And, of course, l never had a real chance until that day of our trial in to learn the real Charlie Mitchell. He was a sarcastic chap, but witty and clever to an extreme He always had quick answer for everything that was said. And that boy had hair trigger brain. He was one of the smartest men that ever stepped into a prize ring and one of the brainiest I have ever known
 And Mitchell was a good loser
 As we walked out of the courthouse, one of the very first things he said to me was;
 Jim, I was deceived.''
 Flows that?" I said
 These advisors of mine said you couldn't hit They told me that all you had was left jab. I watched for 1t, but you bloomin' beggar, you didn't use it. My, what blow you sent to my body! I say. Corbett, why didn't you let me know you could hit"

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. coRBErr


 (This is the sixth-and final-story which Mir. Corbett is writing about his fight with Charlie Mitchell in Jacksonville. Fla. January 25, 1S94)
 Charlie Mitchell went down when I landed that wallop on his jaw in the third round of our Jacksonville fight. And he stayed down quite a long time-long enough to win for me the s2o. .000 purse, the s10O0o side bet, the fight and the undisputed title of heavyweight champion of the world
 That ought to end the story. But it doesn't Just about as soon as Charlie recovered from the wallop we were ar rested, charged with fracturing the laws of the state of Florida. The au- thorities had been kind enough not to halt the bout, but there the leniency ended. Charlie and I were taken into custody and hustled off to jail.
 But we weren't locked up. As soon as we arrived at the jail and the charges had been preferred against us, bail for each of us was fixed at S5000. We furnished it on the spot and SO avoided a barred window outlook and a bread and water diet.
 The date of our trial was fixed for the latter part of March. and Charlie and I were on hand when the time came for selecting the jury. I've sat in on many funny incidents in my life, but nothing that provoked more laughs than that occasioned by the se- lection of the 12 men in whose hands our fate was to rest. Just as sam pie:
 A big, bulking chap was put up for examination as to his qualifications as a juror:
 Do you know Charlie Mitchel1?" he was asked. 'Nope" "Do you know James Corbett?"
 ''Nope" Do you know John L. Sullivan" ''Noper Don't know any of 'em. Never heard tell of 'em either. Who be they?" 'Do you mean to tell me you never heard of Sullivan, Mitchell or Cor oett, the pugilistic champions?" ''Yep, that's what ah mean. "You know, of course, that Corbett and Mitchell broke the laws of this state by indulging in a prize light in his city?" quizzed my attorney

Steamship Texan, Damaged in Collisoin, Arrives in Port Under Her Own Power

An Atlantic Port, January 1S.-The Ha- waiian-American line steamship Texan. which was in collision at sea last Mon day, arrived here safely today under her own steam. It became known that she was rammed by a conveying warship which punched a large hole in her port side.
 The Texans watertight bulllheads saved her from sinking. Several compartments were full of water when the big mer- ehantman steamed slowly into port. As far as could be learned, the Texan made her return voyage from the scene of the accident unescorted. It was said that none of the crew was injured.
 The vessel was taken in charge by coast guard craft when she entered the harbor. She will be drydocked for re- pairs.

PRESIDENT BUTLER'S VIEW

l the wonderful opportunities which Will open to us after the war is ended II we are prepared.
 PRESIDENT BUTLER'S VIEW Tn the address which President Butler will deliver and has, in fact now pre- pared, the title of which is "The Fro gramme of Constructivev Progress, ne will refer to the opportunities and the neecssi ties to meet them which will arise after the war is ended There is likely to be some serious criticism by nm or the spirit of destructive reformation, as he terms 1t, which has prevailed for nearly 20 years, and which is his view, is visibly illustrated now by the chaotic condition of our railroads and of some of our industries. Dr. Butler Will ad-
 vocate constructive reformation. He IS
 strongly In favor of wise cooperation be-
 tween the government and Amerlcan
 business life and also between the gov
 ernment, together with the people, on the
 one hand and the railroads upon the
 other Tn his opinion it is now time to
 begin preparation of programme of con-
 structiye. progress and it may be that he will hint in his address that the party
 which is now in power has opened an
 opportunity to the party which was he- feated at the last presidential election which. If accepted, will result in the SltCtlO4l HtAI ldu VI t N.tttSltoo SOih'iiAs- ted to constructive progress.
 ROAD TO DURABLE PEACE
 Fully as important in Dr. Buffers view as the establishment of an excellent programme of constructive progress is the opening of the perfect road which will lead to durable peace. Dr. Butler is a master mind in the field of diplomacy, as he also is recognized as a master politician, not so much in the partisan as in the higher meaning of that term.
 In his St Louis address Dr. Butler will point out what he believes to be the dan ger to the world in case an inconclusive peace is established. That, according to his view would mean simply that after some years, perhaps only few, another and even a greater world war would begin. It would be far better for permanent peace-or, as he calls 1t, dur able peace--if the present war be contin- ued till there can be no question about reaching such understandings-ma as far as human foresight can do it, bind ing-whereby future wars can be pre- vented. In one or two addresses, nota- bly, one in Cincinnati year or so ago. Dr. Butler briefly outlined his view re- specting the policy which must be adopted if durable peace is secured. In his St. Louis address he will expand the thought then presented.
 It is an unusual occurrence that upon the same day citizen of the distinction srd ability of President Butler should deliver two addresses widely apart in their themes to such representative bodies as the Chammber of Commerce and the Commercial club of St. Louis

SECOND CROP IRISH POTATOES

The spring crop of potatoes cannot
be carried through the winter, but the
second crop can. Now is the time to
begin preparation for this crop. July
is the best month for planting, but to
secure the best results the land must
be broken several weeks before plant
ing time. Harrow Immediately after
breaking, and re-harrow after every
rain so as to conserve the moisture
md keep down the weeds. The prin-
cipal trouble with this crop is secur-
ind stand, and it is usually the lack
of moisture in the soil that makes it
difficult to secure stand. Therefore
this early blowing and the several
harrowings are specially important.
Small grain stubble is a good place
for this crop. Pick out moist piece
of ground, but well drained.-The

GOLF TOURNAMENT
FOR THE RED CROSS

President Wilson requested that
every Club in the country give tour
nament of some kind for the benefit
of the Red Cross on the Fourth of
July. Therefore, the Marietta Golf
Club invited the Rome players over
| for a Golf Tournament and dinner,
and "the day we celebrate" was one
of the pleasantest in the Clubs his
tory, as well as being quite profit
able one for the Red Cross.
The Club was most artistically dec
grated by Mrs. Henry Meinert, who
combined the red cannas and white
queens lace with dark blue tulle, the
effect being pleasingly patriotic, as
well as beautiful The midday din
ner was particularly good one, the
committee in charge being Mrs. A. V.

Mrs. B. G. Brumby, Mrs. R. w. North
cutt, Mrs. Lewis Turner, Mrs. G. P.
Reynolds, Mrs. George Daniel, Mrs.
Glenn Marchman, and Mrs. Henry
Meinert. One hundred were served,
the Rome delegation of twenty-four
Golf players and ladies being guests
of the Club. At the close of the din
ner, there took place the most inspir-
ing feature of the day. This was the
presentation of the Service Flag with
the names enrolled of all Club MEM
bers who are helping to click the
Huns"
Mr.. George Montgomery was Mas
ter of Ceremonies. He introduced
Mrs. John M. Graham, who in brief
but fitting and appropriate words,
presented the flag to the Club in the
name of the Woman's Committee
1t was accepted by DIR. ]. H. Patton
in beautiful speech in which he ex-
pressed the belief of every true A
merican 'that there never has been
a shadow of doubt but that the AL
lies will win the war"
This ceremony was followed by the
Golf Tournament, in which Marietta
players were mainly the victors, Miss
Black of Rome was the only winner
of those players.
