|HELEkGUE OF NATIONS
BY EDGAR p. YOUNG.

The home of Democracy lies in the
masses becoming more familiar with
the questions Of the day. The ignor-
ance Of the average citizen is an APP
paIling thing The day must come
when folks will have definite concu-
sions of their own. rather than fol-
lowing, like a flock of sheep. the
thoughts OF others. Mental Slavery,
with reference to both Politics and
Religion. is too much in evidence.
Because one man-and that man
happens to be President. says that the
League of Nations should be adopted,
IS by no means conclusive. Before
throwing to the four winds your God
given right to dope things out. cult
vate the habit of independent thought.
Don't shut your eyes and follow like
a lamb the conclusions of anyone but
your own.
That the League of Nations will be
adopted there is little doubt. That it
will be adopted in its present form
there is every doubt.

NEW TENNIS
 TITLE CREATED BY THE BRITISH
In the Future Allies Will Meet In Title TOurneys - Other
 News of Racquet Wielders.

An extremely interesting develop ment of the war is found in the de- cision of the British Lawn Tennis As soCiatien to establish a, new cham pionsfip for teams representing the army, navy, and Royal Air Service. According to IT. Anthony Sabeili, sec retary Of the Association, this will be played after the historic Vim nbledon tournament. Challenge cups and medals will be presented to the win ming service and the event will be an annual affair.
 The suggestion h4x been made that such a championship might well be | created in this country but this ac- | ton would depend upon the rapidity with which the aorcos of the United l States now abroad, -e returned to 1 this country. With more than a mil 1 lien men still in Fra1ce there are i obvious difficulties in the way Of | carrying out q program similar to the l one outlined by the British.
 Plans are taking shape rapidly, ! however, for competition in France i according to Capt. Watson NJ. Wash l burn, who has just been made tennis 1 of-.cer of the A. E. F.. assistant to | Col. Wait C. Johnson, the athletic of l fcer. Capt Washburn writes: 1T l hope that we will have 6 series of | divisional tournaments Eats spring. followed by team matches between the divisions, corps, and army troops | the winning team in each army area and in the service Of supply to play l off a Paris at the A. E. F. games there the end of May. This is the game general scheme as for baseball, i basketball and other sports.
 T shall try to arrange an indi- l viduaI championship in singles and
 doubles immediately before ths team l matches. open to five entrants from l each division or tournament The l team matches will be five singles and ] matches The teams will also be of
 five in the inter-alIied matches which
 follow during the first week in June.
 hope also to arrange trips to the
 allied armies and countries in the
 n eantime."
 That the British and French Lawn Tennis Associations intend to for
 bid their. players competing in any tournaments open to subjects of the l Central Empires is seen from the following regulations adopted by the council of the British association:
 >''2Io British players shall be allow
 ed to take part in any tournaments

ID EMMY vABGER, the French D featherweight, has apparently got over his dream that he could make million dollars and win the championship by quitting Doc Bag ley Benny's only reason for quit 4lng Doc was that he was not taken that Bagley had neglected him.
 Rut if Doc neglected Benny 1t was through no mean Intention, for 1t is fact that at the time valger broke away, Doc was trying to arrange bouts for the Frenchman on the Coast and was on the verge of send- ing for him. Doc went on the Coast because willie was wanted there. He did not expect to stay there as long as he did and when he saw that things were rosy for him there he began making arrangements so that he might bring on Valger to Fris- co.
 However, Va1ger is yet a youngster and his error is @ pardonabls one. It was purely a case of misunder- standing. Benny has mother and sister depndent on him and with Doc on the Coast and Willie Jackson in big demand he figured that he could make no money by sticking to Bag ley. So he hoped over with Joe Jacobs.
 But now that Benny has learned the truth and has been made to real ize that 1t was Doc Bagley who grabbed him when he was unknown and taught him everything he knows about boxing, the classy Frenchman decided to return. And he will re- turn as soon as he carries out two contracts for fights Jacobs has signed for him. After the second bout he will again box under Bagley's man agement.
 It would indeed have been an un- grateful act on the part of Benny to stay away from Docs stable.
 However, this story about Benny s return to Bngley Is only a report, the writer not having heard from Doc. But we do know that many of Benny's friends have spoken to him and that to them he has prom ised to return,
