1t is plain therefore that the. United

should be most watchful that Germany
gives up every shred of political con-

she is not allowed to build up COM
mercial control which will in the end
amount to the same thing.
Whatever the territorial settlement
may be Russia and the states formed
from the territory of what was Russia
must be helped and guided for long
time after the peace treaty is signed.
This help and guidance cannot be
given by individual states without
arousing suspicion that self interest is
the principal motive. A league Of ma
items, composed of the civilized demo
cratic states of the world, and backed
by their united military police power,
would, however, be in position to fur
nish such help and guidance without
arousing jeaiOusies.
Unless the newly created states have
such protection the future may show
that predatory Germany won the world

PUT SOME FERTILIZER In HILL

One essential to success in raising
potatoes is to have some available
plant food in the hill (although not
touching the seed piece so that the
new rootlets can begin feeding imme-
diately. This makes a big difference
in many ways-in the start which the
young plant gets, in it's ability to out
grow weeds and in it's power to shade
the ground and thus prevent water
from evapOrating.
The reason why fertilizer must be
close at hand is, of course, that the po-

Russia, that great enigma of the
war, likewise presents probably the
greatest of the peace problems.
Is the Russian experiment in self
government a failure? Have the ac-
lions of the Russian people proven
that the principle of self-determina-
ton cannot safely be applied? Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
position where she can again become
one of the greatest in the family OF
nations, or should she be split up into
numerous Independent states?
All of these are questions which,
considering the insufficient Informal
ton at hand on which to base our con-
illusions, permit of wide differences OF
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN UN-
DER THE CONTROL OF GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL, MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE.
Germans Strong in Russia.
/. The word "remain" is used advised
ly. The greater part Of Russia was
at the time the war came to it's dra-
matte close, under the heel of Ger
many. Whole districts, such as Fin
land, the Baltic provinces, Russian
Poland and the Ukraine were under d.
rect German control. German and
Austrian prisoners of war were fight
ing against the allies and the Czecho-
SlOvakS in Siberia.
The armistice terms which the Ger
mans were forced to sign provided
that the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was despoiled should be abro-
gated. They likewise originally pro-
vided that all invaded territory on the
east front as we'll as that on the west
should be evacuated within IA days.
This was the first provision of the
armistice terms at which the Ger
man delegates protested. They asked
for more time and they got it. The
armistice as finally signed provided
that the east front territory should be
be decided on later by the allies.
Want to Keep Control.
The significance OF this may be
merely that the disorder in Russia was
so great that the allies thought Ger
man control for a time was better than
none. Again it Is possible-even
highly prObable-that the German del
egates hoped by this means to let Ger
man occupation drag on into the pc
riod of peace negotiations, thinking
thereby TO retain something of what
they have gained from Russia.
knowing as we do that Germany
must depend upon outside territory
for raw materials and markets for her
manufactured wares we may well look
with suspicion on delay in the evacua-
ton of the Russian provinces. If they
need policing the allies should pro-
coed to police them at the earliest pos
sible moment-and police them with.
out any German assistance.
What the Germans Held.

One New York critic wrote as
follows: "Britton is nearing the
end of a remarkable career. He is
the oldest fighter in point of service
that ever held a title. Britton was
boxing in his fifteenth year before
he was acknowledged champion
through virtue of a twenty-round
victory over Ted Lewis in 1916.
That was nearly three years ago
and today Britton is fighting better
than ever. Less than five months
ago he regained the worlds weller
weight title. The other night he
trounced Ted Kid Lewis, his most
dangerous and skiIlful rival in his
class.

AS for 'Dowd. he has proved
himself a real champion
Nearly two years ago, on Nov. IA
1917, to be exact, Mike knocked out
Al Mccoy in six rounds at the Cler-
mont Avenue Rink in Brooklyn. AT
the time the critics were skeptical
There were several suspicious cir
cumstances surrounding the defeat
of Mccoy. Rumors of fake" were
rife, and ii was the last bout in
New York under the Frawley law,
which controlled and governed box
ing.
O'Dowd declared he had won on
his merits. Mccoy also averred
that the title had passed honestly
and that the better man had won.
However, the critics were Ioath TO
believe this, and many of them in
reviewing the bout said that
ODowd's claim to the title would
always be clouded.
Since that time O'Dowd has prov
ed cOnclusiyely that, no matter
what the inside dope" was when
he first knocked out Mccoy, he is
the real champion of his class now.
He has met practically all of the
real contenders, and only recently
repeated his knockout Of Mccoy.
True enough, Al is not the fighter
he was when he held the title as a
result OF 'f1uke" punch which put

Mike O'Dowd, middleweight
champion of the world. and Jack
Britton, the welterweight title
holder, who are to meet in a bout
at the First Regiment armory in
Newark. n. J., tomorrow, have
other claims of distinction among
pugilists besides the fact that they
are champions of their respective
classes.
Britton has the distinction Of be-
ing the oldest of the present title
holders in the boxing game. On
Oct. IA Jack will be thirty-four
years of age. He also boasts the
distinction of being one of the few
men who regained his title after
losing it in the squared circle. He
is the real veteran of the fight
game today.
Jack Britton began his ring ca
reer way back in 1905. when he
boxed Johnny Earle in a six-round
bout. Young Britton showed all the
symptoms of developing into a fast,
clever, heady boxer then, and mas
much as he won he was anxious
to continue He next beat Eddie
Wallace, and then began a series
of no-decision contests in none of
which Jack got the worst of it. His
first knockout was scored the fol-
lowing year when he put out John
ny Regan in two rounds.
Defeated 0DOwd in 1916.
Britton first fought ODowd in
1916, in Boston. twelve rounds to a
decision. Britton won, and after
the bout he declared:
"O'Dowd is a good, game fighter
He made me go mighty fast to grab
the decision. A little more knowl-
edge of +he game will make him a
champion"
In January of the following year
they were rematched. By this time
ODowd had a little more knowl-
edge of the game" and the experts,
remembering what Jack had said
after their first fight, began asking
themselves if Jacks time hadn't
come. They figured he was long
overdue.
