Who Is the Worlds Chess Championi

To THE EDITOR OF THF SUN-Sir: The
that the British Chess Federation at its
recent meeting at Hastings and pre-
vious to the conclusion of the Hastings
Victory tournament thought it essential
and wise to proclaim the Cuban mas
ter, Jose r. Capablanca, as champion
of the world, entirely ignoring the fact
that Emanuel Lasker is holder OF that
title ever since he beat the late w.
Steinits (twice), Frank ]. Marshall,
DR.. s, Tarrasoh and drew a match with
the late Carl Schlechter.
That British clubs and organizations
on account Of Laskers pro-German and
anti-English articles. published during
the war in German prints. should be-
gin a boycott and even cancel his
honorary memberships in British clubs
might be proper and might even be
morally Endorsed. but to ignore him
utterly as champion of the world is
absolutely childish, the more SO as the
British Chess Federation officials did
not deem IL worth their while 30 con-
suit other non-German chess associa-
lions and organizations, not even the
principal American chess clubs.
Even Capablanca himself will simply
smile at such a gift. The young Cuban
master is a thorough sport and will
scarcely accept the title as long as
Lasker is in the field and not opposed
to meeting the Cuban in set match.
Before departing from this country in
July Capabianca stated that his only
ambition in life is to meet LAsker In
contest for the championship OF the
world. FAIR PLAY.

Gen eraI SHUTS rs Botha's Successor.

A despatch from johannesburg an
nounces that General JAN CHRISTIAN
SHUTS has accepted the invitation of
the Governor General of the Union of
South Africa to form a Cabinet to
succeed that Of the late Premier, LOUIS
BoTHA. That General SHUTS would
follow BoTHA In the Premiership was
expected and there was but one other
name, that of Minister f. s. MALAN,
openly mentioned for the post. 1t
would seem that General SHUTS, who
had been a strong defender Of BoTHA's
Government, would have little diff
Guilty In forming q Cabinet and that
the Premiership would pass from one
strong South African to another with
out any marked change in policy.
The public careers Of General
BoTHA and General SHUTS bear many
points of resemblance. Both men were
commanding officers in, the Boer army
who became firm defenders of the
British Empire when the Boer repub-
lies became parts OF the Union Of
South Africa. Both fought tho Ger
man attempt to align South Africa
against the Allies, and General
sMuTs's conquest Of German East AT
RIGA was as distinguished military
achievement as General BoTHA's con.
quest of German Southwest Africa.
General SHUTS was recognized as
the blunter and more vigorous Of the
two men. When a crowd Of British
agitators went to Cape Colony to start
general strike SHUTS grasped the
leaders by the scruff Of the neck
and hurled them on steamship
bound back to England. 1t troubled
him little that there was great out
cry against his high handed method ;
he prevented the strike, which was all
that he sought. He limited his diplo-
matte interview with the Austrian
statesman MENsDoRFF to three min
utes when he was unable to get di-
rect answer to his inquiry II Austria
desired to make separate peace, and
he was apparently not in the least
concerned about the adverse criticism
Of his "shirt sleeve diplomacy"

ing" for the question of wages than

been disclosed since a big man who
was daring and skilful in killing bears

wage was a club; the club makers

Of the man who rolls the rails or boiler
plate the wage Of the roller is part
OF the money the mill owners service
gets for the rail or boiler plate. Since
the cave mans day the footing of the
wage question has not changed; the
medium of pay has. That is all.

ACROSS THE OCEAN.
First Air Passage Will Rank as a
Great Triumph.

The completion of the first air
passage across the Atlantic ocean
will rank for all time as a great
triumph Of human daring and q
superb mechanical and scientific
achievement. 1t is not to be regard
ed as a mere daredevil stunt.
Very practical ends have been &C
complished. One of them immediate
ly obvious, is that it will help solve
the problem of keeping Germany in
order.
At the time of the armistice,
plans we're being matured for send
ing a large number of planes to
Europe by air route. The planes took
up great deal OF space in vessels,
which was all needed for other
equipment Whether any big delivery
could have been made by air route
was an open question. If successful,
this means of transporting them
would have been an immense aid to
the American army.
The experiments in delivering
planes by air to Europe ought to be
worked out, so that in case of
emergency a great mass Of them
could be delivered across the
water within a short time. Conditions
are going to remain unsettled in
Europe fer @ considerable time. Ger
many will be much more likely to
keep quiet and behave herself, If she
could be made to realize that in
case of revolt thousand American
planes could be on the Rhine within
few days.
1t seems likely enough that air
navigation will be so perfect within
few years that regular flights will
take place across the ocean. This
will be Of great benefit to science
to business, to people in personal
relations. Urgently needed materials
will come over in a day or two. II
is conceivable that business men and
statesmen may come to depend up
on this speedy means of travel, fol
prompt settlement Of great CONNER
cial and national issues. So this
achievement is not to be looked al
as a mere display Of adventure
spirit, but as a service to the country
that may profoundly affect national
and daily life.

A Hard Fought Ball Game.

In one of the hardest fought ball
games played on the campus for
years Upper Iowa went down in de-
feat before the team from Luther
college at DEBORAH, but that it was
no walk-away is indicated by the fact
that the game ran for twelve innings
The score was tie (three to three
at the end of the ninth, and Upper
Iowa made two and Luther seven IN
the twelfth, leaving the final score
10 to g. Four errors are listed
against Upper Iowa and two against
Luther.
To attempt to explain why the
local team failed to win would be
difficult. The game was a thorough
bail game from start to finish, and 1t
would be impossible to fasten the
cause for failure upon any one play
er. There is such a thing as luck in
base ball, and luck was on the Lu-
Their side Tuesday by just about the
thickness of a camels hair. With a
three Dagger by Humphry tying the
score in the ninth, and only one hit
needed to send him in, It could
reasonably be expected that the score
would develop and win the game
especially with an almost certain hit
ter up for the critical blow. The hit
failed to come-and there you are.
At other times the bird of victory
hovered so close to the home team
that you could hear it's wings
rustic, but the adverse combination
of infnitesimal circumstances al
ways scared it away.-Fayette

knocked down before his father
could reach him and the wheels OF
the heavily loaded wagon passed
over the little chest, crushing the
life out instantly.

About 10000 Men Commanded by Hin

of Great Rost-Revolution
Changes German Troops.

Berlin.-Under the new republic the
departments of the army and navy
are no more, in name at least. The
republics name for them is defense,
and they are placed under charge Of
Gustav Noske, much trusted by the
government for his prompt action in
emergencies, and much hated by the
Spartacans for his relentless Opposi-
ton when disorders break out.
Noske's appointment as head of the
navy, as well as the army, was regard
ed none too seriously, by Noske him
self, at least. When asked by news
paper man what he expected to do
about the naval affairs of Germany in
the future, Noske laughed and replied ::
"Why worry about naval affairs, when
we haven't any navy?'
There are still sailors in big num-
bers in Germany, however, and they
have been a problem. During the revO-
luton the sailors played an important
part, and most of them developed such
liking to land duty in Berlin and the
other big cities that they have refused
20 leave for Kiel or any of the har-
bors. Now the sailors are used in the
guard regiments all over Germany,
along with soldiers.

BuiIds Violin in 1000 Pieces.

Mr.. David Young of this place
has completed a violin, which prob
ahlv is like no other in the United
States. The upper and lower parts
of the body are made of red cedar
and red fir. The rest of the instru-
ment is made up Of different pieces
of wood, many of them small, but
worked in together in the most
skiIlfull and artistic manner. Over
1900 pieces of wood entered into
the makeup of the instrument and
gives it a most striking and artist
ic appearance, unlike anything in
this line that we have ever seen.
Every piece fits perfectly and is
just of the right size. 1t has a beau
tiful, clear and mellow tone. The red
fir was sent to him by brother. AL
together Mr.. Young has made over
thirty-eight violins and all of them
have had an excellent tone, and the
tone is the main thing in a violin.
One instrument that he made a few
years ago, he sent to Henry Ford at
Detroit, Mich, as he knew the lat
ter many years ago; and Mr.. Ford
sent him a check for $3.50. Mr..
Young was engaged on the present
instrument, off and on for three
months. 1t takes some time to work
out so complicated a job as the
present instrument presents.-Mc-
Gregor Times.
