THE ALLIES GREATER DANGER.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
The great democracies are now in
greater danger of being betrayed by
their own generous. impulses tnan
they are BY German force or cunning.
Yet they must beware OF the Germans,
especially when the Germans come
crawling and apparently helpless.
What Is 10 be done?'' wrote Freder-
lex the Great to his minister. Pode-
wills. during the crisis following his
occupation of Silesia. rWar and ne
gotiatiou. II there is anything to be
gained by being honest men. we will
be honest. and Il it is necessary for us
to dupe. let US be rosues" The Ger
man habit or thought follows the
teachings of Frederick the Great The
Allies will meet at every step of the
peace negotiations the instructive
treachery of the Germans.
II this were all, the Allies could
cope with 1t by maintaining rigid
war front and an unyielding determin-
alton to push home the advantages of
victory ,as the British forces seem to
be doing at Cologne. But the Allies
have another difficulty to deal with,
even more dangerous than the treach-
cry of the Germans and this is their
own generous impulses toward a de-
feated enemy.
The civilized. nations are made up
of civilized men. ohiyalrous. courteous
and brave. They ight fairly and do
not cherish vindictiyeness They are
quick to recognize chivalry~ in their
foes, and. indeed. expect their foes to
be chiyalrous as matter OF course
Despite the horrible experiences of
four years of German scientific beast
illness. there are millions of irdiyid-
uais in the Allied nations who forget
easily ard who think their duty re-
quires them to forgive the enemy
These individuals accept without res
ervation all reports from Germany in
dicating that the Huns are reforming
their nature The reports that true
democracy is winning its way: that
the people have thrown of Kaiserism
and are shocked by the excesses of
their troops: that they honestly desire
TO live honorably and at peace: that
they have been cheated BY their
wicked rulers and are at heart inno-
cent and peace-loying-all these re
ports are greediiy taken up and re-
pea;ed by a large element in Allied
countries. The result in many cases
Is to weaken the will of men whose
bounden duty it is TO remain firm and
stern until the hellish force that men
aces the world is killed and buried.

and Turks have had their cia,.s and
fangs cut short. there will be no
peace. no justice and no safety in this
world. And there should not be. The
world should be kept in turmoil and

pies are put down and shackied No
human being with generous impulse
and love of justice is doing an act of
lhelpfrlness to his fellow man when he
urges generosity and mercy" to
the fiends who made this world hell.
Let the generous minded spend their
sympaihies on the victims of the Ger
man beasts. if they are anxious to be
generous Let them look at the work
OF the Huns and then ask themselves
IL such work deserves mercy
One word only should be the touch
stone OF the worlds attitude toward
the worlds assailants-justice. II

recover from the hideous wrongs of
l914-lslS. and new wars hereafter will
soak Europe in blood Failure to do
justice means that the Huns will wrig-
gle out and renew their deviitry and.
of course that means war.
The Allied leaders never needed the
old Roman virtues more than they
need them now The darkest hours
of last springs enemy offensive when
Paris and the channel seemed to be
doomed. never called so loudly for
the grim and persistent devotion to
duty as do these days of seeming
triumph and easy superiority. Now is
the time when treachery and perfsdy
will rob the Allies of their victory. IL
they do take hold and bind the enemy
in chains that will never let him free
to commit murder again.

Llewenyn Inquest
At Florence

The accident which caused the
death OF Gw1llin Lleweiiyn In the Coal
Creek mine last Saturday morning.
says the Florence Citizen. was inves-
tigated by a coroner's jury at the Del
bert undertaking pariors Tuesday aft
ernoon under the supervision of Coro-
ner Atkinson. assisted by District At
torney T. Lee witcher OF Canon City
and Deputy Mine Inspector Henry
King. The evidence produced failed
10 unravel the mysterious accident.
and the jury was unable to establish
the cause leading TO the death. Ac-
ccrding TO the testimony of Mine Fore
man Richard Evans and Supt. Benja-
min Beach. Liewellyn was seen five
minutes before the accident happened
He was In the act of pulling a carload
of coal from the face of one of. the
rooms and the parting and he was dis
covered by one of the miners under
the loaded car with his head toward
the rear OF the car and his feet toward
The front. To all appearances the car
had run directly over poriion of his
body and 1t WAS thrown of the track
when the trucks reached the chest.
The mystery is how his body came to
be in the position il was when found,
for there was no room for him to fall
under the car. Messrs. Beach. Evans
and King all stated IL was the most
mystifying accident that they had ever
heard of in n coal mire, and all have
had many years experience. While
Llewellyn was driving extra that day.
he was considered TO be one OF the
most experienced and careful drivers
in the mine.

Decrease in

There was a material decrease of
influenza cases in the Canon City dis

figures for the last few days have not
been obtainable. but il is assumed that
conditions have not deteriorated from
the general improvement noted about
the middle OF last month. The num-

Government Pinto
Bean Market

A report from the secretary of the
Colorado Bean Growers Association
says the market for all kinds of beans
has been very slow. The civil trade
has taken 1e.000.0oo pounds OF pinto
beans, and 100000 pounds OF these
have been shipped from Colorado. The
United States government has placed
four pinto bean orders in Colorado
and New Mexico. These orders to.
tailed Ss.0oo.o00 pounds. some coming
from Western Nebraska and Kansas.
Colorado supplied 100000 pounds
OF this order
The government in buying these
beans has uniformly paid i cent a
pourd higher than the price for which
it could purchase California. Arizona
and New Mexico co,ored beans other
than pintos.
The government orders have partly
gone into the army. but most of the
pintos under government orders have
gone to France. England and Italy.
The last order of 10000. 900 pounds
will be shipped in December to New
Orleans and sent direct to foreign
ports.

Future of Sports
Will Be Better
Than Ever Before
BY H. c. HAMILTON.
(Urited Press Stan Correspondent


New York. Jan. 4.-The past of
of 1917 and 1918. The future stretches
over rosy era. born in the fires
which left their marks in deep fis-
sures
The years of trouble and inaction
were short. but their influence will be
felt TO a great extent when sports
again gets the sendoff
lraction will not be felt long. Re-
turning soldiers and reopening of busi-
ness along the lines of peace will give
their aid in putting games of all sorts
held before war came.
Out o. the army camps has come a
despect for boxing that never existed
before. The average soldier who
never saw a boxing match before he
began to shoulder rifle for Uncle
Sam now realizes that in this sport is
t. pified he very best of American
manhood. He realizes that. conducted
along decent. clean lines. there is no
sport that has a greater fascination
for the American public. For this
reason it may be expected that the
year 1919 will be one of the greatest
boxing ever saw. Championship bouts
are in the offing. That they will be
held. attended by tremendous audi
ences. seems foregone conclusion.
The reason for this is that many
thousands OF soldiers cared nothing
for sports because they never had
been given the opportunity of witness
ing high class contests in any line
Since they became members OF the
army boxing contests. baseball. foot
ball and track and field meets have
become commonplace. They learned
10 like them. Therefore. they will
yearn' for the same thing when they
again don civilian dress and take up
civilian habits.
There have been no extraordinary
boxers developed in the army. There
are few boxers. of course, who
learned what they know since they
have had the advantage of instructors
in the army, but the constant moving
from place to place and the rigid en-
forcement of army discipline. which
requires certain amount of work and
drill from each soldier. has prohibited
close application to the technique OF
the game. But there will be gradu-
ates to the class of professionals from
the ranks OF The fighters when they
are mustered out and these will help
boxing.
