against the German bases at Heligo-

second, that the High Seas Fleet, built
up by Won Tirpitz at such enormous
cost, never had the enthusiastic conf
dence of its own leaders. Further
more, the determination to concen-
trate Germanys efforts on the subma-
rine war operated toward the decay
and final surrender OF the fleet, by
discouraging its personnel and deepen
ing the detestation of/the men for the
service to which they were bound.
Surrender Unparalleled.
And so history moved on the 2Tst
of November at Scapa Flow with its
tame ending to the contest between
the mightiest fleets the world has ever
seen, and though they have convinced
themselves that the end was inevitable
the editors of the Annual are unable
to shake off the feeling OF regret, al
most OF shame for their profession,
which overwhelmed officers and men
of the Grand Fleet as they saw the
Seydlitz and Moltke and their con-
sorts pass down the long lane Of Brit
ish and allied war vessels to intern
ment In the waters of the British base
There is no parallel in naval his
tory for the surrender OF the German
High Seas feet to impotent internment
and seizure at Scapa Flow and to in
evitable destruction or decay, nor to
the giving up of the whole of the sub
marine fiotilla with its salvage vessels,
says the Annual. "Grenyille would not
die without his fight in the Revenue

never acted. and we think never could
! have acted as the German officers
acted when they brought their ships
to the Forth. The surrender seemed
strange and almost incredible"
OF special interest to Americans is
the chapter on the present comparative
strength of the leading navies, with
Earl Brassey's view OF Anglo Ameri-
can rivalry, the United States having
become the second naval Power after
Great Britain. The editor OF the An

Groups of Russians of the former
nobility and official classes are at
present sojourning in other nations,
working assiduously to promote an
armed intervention in Russia that will
mean the virtual restoration of the
monarchy. Their anti bolshevism is
primarily pro-Tsarism. They want
foreign nations to put them back in
places of privileges and power to
which neither their own efforts nor
the consent of their country will ele-
vate them.
With this reactionary movement

time. AS James j. Corbett says, in
his syndicated articles, baseball has
been kept clean for more than forty
years. Nothing could be worse for
the sport than dishonesty among
players or promoters. 1t is chiefly be-
cause the public believes in the in
tegrity of league baseball teams that
they have retained their popularity
and their drawing power; which has
such an important bearing on box Of
flee receipts.
Cincinnati will not relish accusa-
tons that she did not win the world
series fairly, though there is no
charge of double-dealing on the part
of the "Reds." Yet, if there is any
evidence of crookedness, the guilty
players should be exposed and pun
ished, for the good of the game. With
the exception of college sports, foot
ball and the like, baseball is the only
form of athletics in America that
has never forfeited public confidence.
Horse racing, wrestling, prize fight
ing and other branches of sport have
all suffered from this cause.
1t is an old saying that honesty
is the best policy. 1t certainly ap-
plies to baseball, for the life of the
game itself, as we'll as its financial
returns, depend on giving patrons a
square deal.
