Entertain ment In the shipyard,.

The most Interesting aspect of
vice-President PIEz's announcement,
In behalf OF the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. that the semi-profes-
sional sports which have not only
been tolerated but encouraged In the
shipyards are to be modified, to the
point Of elimination In many cases,
h the fact that the men for whose
benefit they were Instituted are them
selves at the bottom Of the movement.
II Is asserted that the workers are
convinced there has been too much
entertainment and not enough labor /:
that attention which should have been
spent on shipbuilding has been d.
verted to inconsequential spectacular
enterprises.
OF amateur sports, spontaneously
taken up by the men. there is not to
he an end. Mr.. PEE us all for anna
teur SPORT:
Y have no objection II q professional
athlete gives his eight hours work to
the Government and then stages a box
ing match or any other game. but there
will be no more professional athletes
In the yards who are there Just because
they are professionals"
1t has been apparent in a number
Of cases that professionals enrolled
among the workers were giving to
ship production only such time as
the sports In which they e1celled
did not require. and In a number of
instances there has been a good deal
Of artificiality about the enthusiasm
for their efforts. To say that a base
ball team composed Of professionals
Of established reputation represented
the shipwrights at certain plant
may have been technically true: &C
tually II was untrue. except In the
sense that a nine especially hired by
a summer hotel to amuse Its guests.
the players being carried on the pay
roll as bellboys who never were ex-
pected to answer bell. represented
the employees Of the hotel.
In the general desire to promote
every scheme adapted to further the
production OF war essentials, nobody
has criticised any Of the entertain
ment programmes arranged for the
workers. 1t Is gratifying. however.
to find that the workers themselves
have not considered the maintenance
Of professional entertainers abso-
lutely necessary to their welfare.
What seems TO have been overlooked
by some ardent promoters OF vaude-
Vile In numerous war industries Is
the inherent dignity and serious pur-
nose of most of those for whose bene-
f1t these programmes have been ar
ranged. II betrays a gross ignorance
Of the men and women In shipyards
md munitions plants to assume that
they will not do their duty unless
every few minutes a prestidigitator
takes a silk hat out of rabbit for
their edification.

Are the Credentials Satisfactory ,

The great fact that stands forth In
the last note Of "the present German
Government" Is the swift progress Of
that Government in the direction of
unconditional surrender.
In the preceding bid for peace, au-
tocracy and militarism offered to
evacuate the occupied territory and
asked for an armistice while the
evacuation was going on. The offer
was coincldent with the impressive
military demonstration, not only on
the western front In France and Bel
GUM but also on the southeastern
front In the Balkan region and like
wise In Palestine and Syria. that
the process Of ejectment was in full
swing under pressure by General
FocH's forces, and quite indepen-
IDENTIFY Of Teuton volition. In the
note Of yesterday is the promise Of
the abandonment Of the subma rine
campaign devised by the swashbuck-
ling VoS TIRPITz and prosecuted for
years without regard to the laws Of
war or the common ordinances Of
COPS mercy and Of mans humanity.
This announcement Of a change Of
naval policy from the murderous
enterprise which sank the Lusitania
and the Essex and brought America
into the war follows, in its turn, the
redemption of the Belgian coast and
the clearing out Of the nests of the
assassin undersea craft at Ostend
and Zeebrugge.
There is also not very ingenious
attempt to represent the systematic
outrages Of incendlarism and MUIR
der and raplne and theft and enslave-
ment and general devastation out
side of military necessities which
have marked Prussian frightfulness,
from the very beginning Of the ad-

The article to which Mr.. Creel's sub
