nrItI,h Raid submarlne eass..

London-British naval forces raided
the German submarine bases Of os-
tend and Zeebrugge. the admiralty an
nounces. Five old cruisers which had
been filled with concrete for use in
blocking the channels we're run
aground. blown up and abandoned by
their crews. The admiralty reports
that the raid met with . reasonable
measure Of success.

as well as prohibitive. Even the
German Riechstag would not be
guilty of such crassly foolish and
unjust postal legislation. The new
rate will help the country publisher
whose circulation is local--in that
it will protect him from the COM
petition of cheap reading matter.
Yet the Leader for one does not
wish to profit by ruling which it
regards as but little short Of a ma
tional calamity.

The new zone system Of postage
for second-class matter will have
the effect of encouraging narrow
sectionaIism and discouraging a
broad guaged nationalism. The
great periodicals like the Saturday
Evening Post have been Of inestim-
able aid in bringing about a ma
tional spirit in the time Of the coun-
try's peril. Yet they are to be re-
warded with zone rate that would
mean ten cents a pound from coast
TO coast. Compared to the present
rate Of one Ecent pound and the
Canadian rate Of only one-quarter
of q cent per pound for the same
service, this is positively ridiculous

The Russellites are obviously sin.
cere but as obviously illogical.
They do not want to fight, and
preach against fighting, but yet
they do not want to help insure a
lasting world peace. BY means Of
their literature they seek to con-
vert the people of the United States
to Russellism, else they would not
circulate it. Such conversion would
mean desertion by the United
States Of its allies and the probable
triumph Of Prussianism. Thus they
are virtually aiding the cause of
the Kaiser, with all the falsehood,
tyranny and brutality that it is
known to imply. The Russellites
must be brought to realize that
they are only small minority in a
republic devoted to majority rule
a republic determined to remain
such and that their pacifist activi-
ties will not be tolerated. Let
them be quiescent, or take the COR
in persecution" of a
sterner sort.

Young Billiard
Star Always
Keeps in rim

Welker Cochran, the young billiard
star, who expects some day to come
into possession of Willie Hopes title,
undergoes course of training as
severe as most athletes. Delicate ex-
ecution with the cue demands perfect
team work of nerves with eyesight and
lot of work for young Mr. Cochran.
Willie Hoppe is total abstainer,
and spends hours every day in a gym
nasium and on the golf links while
getting ready for his championship
matches.
Cochran is following closely after
Hoppe, both in playing skill and per-
sonal habits, and is always careful to
dodge temptations that usually come
to any one so prominently in the public
eye. Young Cochran has never deserted
his high seat on the water wagon. and
he has always been firm believer in
the old axiom that early TO bed and
early to rise make a man healthy, wise
and champion billiardst
This is how Maurice DAILY, the vet
cram billiard critic, compares Hoppe
and his logical successor: Hoppe was
the Youngest champion we ever had,
and there may never be another world
champion at eighteen years of age. In
my opinion, he was better at nineteen
than Cochran now is. But it must not
be overlooked that while Hoppe has
played billiards from the time he was
able to hold cue, Cochran has played
only six years.
Cochran is a good player, who has
the qualities and habits that contribute
toward making champions. Like Hoppe,
he does not touch liquor, is modest and
without trace of an enlarged head.
He is good general player of attrac-
tive style. Keen of perception and
prompt of execution, while occupying
the. table is is in action all the time
and very interesting player to watch. y
