TAKING TO OUR SPORTS

One OF the not unlmpOrtalt ell
fects OF the world war is the interna.
tiuual interest which has been aroused
in American sports. King George, Of
England, il Is said. has become Il con
firmed baseball fan. Italy apparently
is the most recent victim of the base
ball game. Football a. played in
America, as we'll as the national game
OF this country, also has taken hold
of the popular interest in Italy. The
Gazet1a dello Sport, one Of the most
influential sport journals OF that coun.
try, is raising q fund for the purchase
OF basehallS, bats and footballs and
the dstribulion$of prizes among the
soldiers 10 stimulate competition.
General Penella, commander OF n"
Second Italian army. IN L letter 10 The
Gazetta dello Sport. says That foot
ball and baseball games are Of inesti-
mable value in the training for war.
General Penella is especially pleased
with baseball as an aid 10 training
and the maintenance of the morale OF
the troops. Il look upon this form of
Sport he says. AS an integral part
OF military training. Solace and d.
version are especially necessary in
trench warfare. During the inevitable
mlls in this kind of warfare the mo.
rale of the men is likely TO suffer,
and they need the kind OF recreation
that will chase away gloom and slim
ulate the spirit. Sports and games
take out OF a man the moral and
physical kinks contracted in the
trenches. | consider it matter Of
vital Importance to the nation that in
terest in sport be stimulated, not only
in the army, hut also among the civ

Secretary Of Agriculture.

The Crea: thing To do for the better
ment of agriculture and rural life Is
effectively to awaken urban commu-
mites and business men 10 a sense Of
their responsibility twardS agriculture
and rural life and 10 enlist their con-
Structire interest: and support. The
thing which concerns me is how 10 do
this-how 10 reach them and how 10
touch them.
Experience has emphasized the ne
ceSSity for thu bcttrrment Of rural
life the support OF the town. OF its
commercial organizations. and Of its
business leaders. Heretofore agricul-
tural agencies have worked somewhat
exclusively with farmers and farmers
organizations. They have not largely
worked with or on the business world.
and the business world has. relatively
speaking. displayed an Indifference 70
the problems of rural life, or al least
has not given them the requisite effec
tive study and sympathetic aid.
In fact. it may be said that there
has been neglect Of the rural life by
rho nation as whole We have been
so bent on building up great industrial
ccntrrS. in rivaling other nations of
the world in manufacturing. fostering
it by every natural and artificial de-
vice we could think OF: so buSytryiug
10 make each city larger before the
next census. that We have. in great
measure. overlooked The very founda-
lions Of our Industrial existence.
II has been assumed that We had
a natural monopoly in agriculture. that
il could take care OF itself. and we
had. therefore. in many directions
cheerfully left it 10 do: and reckless
ness and waste had been incident to
our breathless conquest OF the CONT
nent We were too prone TO indulge
in praise of farm life and in fla,trry
of farmers. and TOO little disposed 70
take effective steps to l"nd aid.
President Wilson was right whom he
said: 1T has. sinGularly enough.
como 10 pass that We have allowed
the industry Of our farms to lag be-
hind the other activities OF the coun-
try in rs development" II was high
time that there should be change.

GERMAN TRICKS IN TRADE

Ii German goods are boycotted in
America The chief blame will attach
to the cupidity Of the German mcr-
chants and dealers in their overreaCh
ing 10 dominate the trade Of the world.
To-day pledges never TO buy any Ger
man product are being widely circu-
lated, but 20 make these pledges Ell
fective al the end OF the war they will
require the powerful support and
watchfulneSS OF the United States gov
ernment and that of the Allies. The
day will come, remarks 4 writer on
this subject, when a decision on this
important matter must be made at
Washington. 1t is said that Germany
is still addicted to her old tricks in
trade III spite OF the contracted sphere
Of action owing 70 the war. Our safe
ty razOrS before tue war had become
popular Throughout; Northern Europe.
Two years ago the stocks OF these I'M
Elements were exhausted. Last year
limitations made their appearance in
German cities. Lately our consul at
Christiania reported that these imi-
tations were being sold in the Scan
dinayian countries.
4 dishonest government begets 4
dishonest people, and it now seems i'm
probable that the present generation
of Germans will ever be trusted again
BY the American people with the ma
terialS and resources Of peaceful COM
MERGE that they long abused. Ameri-
can goods long handled by German
agents were taken into Hamburg and
other free ports and stamped Made
in Germany Then they were sold
in other countries. Those who found
the goods 70 their liking naturally
sent orders 10 Germany for more Of
the same kind. Thus. by fraud. trade
was diverted from the United States
20 Germany. American manufacture
erS have learned that it is suicidal in
business 10 permit these German com
m.rciul houses TO act rs their selling
agents No matter what latitude IS
permitted in trade with Germany,
wisdom will dictate the establishment
OF direct trade relations with other
vountries. and the avoidance OF the
German agent as one would avoid the.
smallpox.
We no longer need German goods,
and our resources must not feed this
demon OF greed. hatred and murder.
There is no desire in America to rnG
the existence OF the German people or
IL prevent the3 from feeding and
clothing their population after The
war. But 10 more than such necesSi-
ties they are hot entitled, nor have
they any right TO enter the markets
OF the nations whose confidence they
have betrayed, whose hospitality they
have violated, whose people they have
murdered. and whose property they
have DESTROYED and pIuudered Made
in Germany will become in the fu
ture the yellow quarantine faS which
will cause buyers to pass by on the

Philadelphia Statistician Tells
of Probable Future of
Country After War

Carlisle, Pa, Nov. 22.-Men COM
ing back from France will have a
broader vision. They have lived and
suffered, class prejudices have been
broken down for them, the man
working in the Army has a big ar
gument to use with his fellow who
was at home and got high wages
These will be outstanding reasons
why the period of readjustment. can
be faced with confidence. in the opin-
ion of E. J. Cattell, city statistician
of Philadelphia. widely known as q
financial, economic and social expert
who addresses a luncheon meeting
of the Carlisle Chamber of Com
merce yesterday.
Mr.. Cattel pointed out that condi-
tions to-day and after the Civil War
are vastly different. That by the
banking system every dollar of the
two hundred fifty-seven billions of
wealth is fluid, and that the country
is a creditor nation, with ships to
carry the products of our industries
to other countries; a great good will
for our part in the war; and banking

for the problems of exchange. In
addition, millions are interested in
the stability of government; for,
when few years ago there were
$4,000 bondholders, there are now
25, 100000.
The old distinctions of capital and
labor are being modified, Mr.. Cat
tell said. Special tasks will come to
all in the readjustment period, but
must be met and faced, and a new
America will be leading a new world,
following the success of the forces
of liberty over those of autocracy.
Mr.. Cattell, who has travelled eX-
tensively, stated that in his opinion
one of the greatest factors of an
autocratic government was that ii
robbed the individual of initiative
and thought, while a democracy
developed such traits. He paid a
strong tribute to American women,
who, he said, were responsible for
the splendid morale and fighting
qualities of the American soldier.

at Harris Meeting

An interesting Americanization
meeting was held last night in the
Harris school building. These meet
ings, which are held from time to
time, are for the benefit and in
struction of alien-born residents
of the city. A feature of the meet
ing last night was motion pictures,
and because of the many educa-
tional advantages to be derived, this
feature will be continued as regu-
lar thing.
Last nights program began with
selection by the Harris school
orchestra, followed by community
singing which was led by Miss Mil
dred H. Conkling, assistant super
visor of music. After the motion
picture, which followed, had been
shown, vocal selections were rem
dered with ukulele accompaniment
by girls from the Shimmell school.
The remainder of the program was
taken up by trombone solo, mo-
ton pictures, orchestra selections,
and the announcements. Much spirit
was shown in the community sing
ing and the program as a whole
was great success.
