that she will press this desire again.
But there is no more prospect that
she will scceed than there is that
Frances protection against Germany
will take the form of a big interna-
tional army along the Rhine, COM
posed of American and other soldiers
and paid by the League of Nations.
The League of Nations is
pretty likely to go through just about
as President Wilson read it to the con-
ference on Valentine day and explain
ed it later to America. After all, II
was agreed upon with reservation"
such as the cases cited above. And
most nations subscribed to it uncon-
d~itionally.
The American labor delegation is al
sc insisting that the sailors all over
the world be set free. America is the
only country whose laws make the sail
or a free man. The Gompers party is
standing firm for an international ar
rangement that will give all sailors
of all countries the right to leave their
vessels when they are in safe harbor.
Sailor Is To BE made Free Man.
The sailor hasn't been a free man
since the days of the galley" says
Gompers I'VE intend to end this
slavery if we can"
The time may come, in future years
when the League of Nations gets into
full operation, when immigration can
safely be considered internationally;
when the racial problems it presents
will be less difficult.
For the present it will remain a
national matter.
As a matter of fact the A. F. of L.
is on record in favor of the prohibit
ton of immigration for two years after
peace has been declared, and for a
policy thereafter based on the ability
OF the nation TO assimilate and Ameri-
caniZe the newcomers, with the re-
striction hat immigration be stop
ped whenever there is abnormal un-
employment. That's part of its re-
construction program. And the dele
cation to the a congress is stand
ing guard.

BY HAROLD l.. BECHTOL.
European Manager of y. Il. A.

PARIS, March 1S.-The peace
treaty will leave America free to
solve her own immigration problems.
There is no prospect that the desire
OF Japan and aome other nations for
a declaration hat would curb Amer
ica's right to restrict immigration will
be realized.
The American labor delegation
stands firm against including in the
Ia clauses of the treaty any restric-
tion of the right of individual nations
to make their own immigration rules.
To lift all bars would probably re-
suit, the labor delegates believe, in n
rush OF labor to America which would
not only menace organized labor in
some eases, but also lead to endless
labor troubles, unemployment and I'M
rest.
Samuel Gompers. head of the A. +.
of L.. and chairman of the interna-
tional labor commission of the peace
congress, puts it this way:
Immigration Is Problem of Nations.
Immigration, we in America re-
gard as our own problem-one which
we will have to solve for ourselves.
In no nation is there a greater sym
pathy for other peoples. We love our
neighbors. But we cannot afford to
disregard the law of self-preserva-
tion."
If it will soothe anybody who fear
ed Americas sovereignty was going to
be thrown away there is no more e
dency among the American delegates
generally to surrender the right to re-
strict immigration, than there is
among the American labor delegates.
Japan, %populous and crowded,
would naturally like a change. She
may urge that an immigration clause
be inserted in the League of Nations
covenant when it comes up for pub
lie discussion in a plenary session.
Probably she will. 1t is generally
known that she tried to get such a
clause when the covenant was before

War Has Not Impaired Athletes ProsOess

shot away, has developed twice the
punch he had before the war, when
he was known as sort Of harmless
pa flor boxer, and has won a dozen
bouts by the knockout route.
AS regards the professional ball
players in particular, there has been
no indication that they have lost
their speed or alertness in the Am
terican Army. John Miijus, OF the
Brooklyn Club, was mere busher
lon trial when he Joined the Army last
summer, burt he went to France and
pitched a nO-hit game. Grover
Cleveland Alexander, of the Chicago
Nationals, and Sherrod Smith, q
Brooklyn National sonthpaw, equalen
in France their best stunts on big
league diamonds. While they were
not tackling major league opponents
these major pitchers are agreed in
declaring that they never had to
Eslrow more stuff to win in the Uni
ed States than they did behind the
! lines in France.
Taking 1t by and large, 1t can not
be said that there has yet been proof
that army life has injured the pros
poets of professional athletes In their
means of making living, or anna
teurs in their striving after new Toc-
soEds
One point should be very carefully
borne in mind In discussing this sub
tect. 1t is: Some of the men VINO
have served long in the Entente ar
mics, and upon their discharge will
Ifail to show their former athletic
prowess, have simply become the
victims OF old age. They would have
|slipped back as fast, il not faster, II
they had remained IN civil life.
For instance, 1t was ten years ago
that Lieut.. Reggie Walker won his
Olympic race, and it would be most
extraordinary for any sprinter to re-
main a world beater for decade,
war or no war. The same goes for
Donaldson, and for "a large number of
boxers. Few boxers remain topnOtch-
kers for more than three or four years,
and most of the foreign boxers have
been in the war that long, hence II
they are not up to their cfvil-lffe form
when they return to the ring after
ftheir discharge there will be abso-
lutely nothing remarkable in the oc-
currenee.
And the old-age element enters in
to the baseball angle. or the 25O or
80 major league ball players who
have entered the American Army IN
the past eighteen months it is prac-
ically certain that a dozen or twenty
lof them wcnId have retired to the
minors before next season, even II
the Kaiser had not set the world on
fire, but the popular explanation or
the slipping of every soldier-pfayer
kfor the next ten years will be that his
Experience in the Army caused his un-
doing. About 80 per cent of that
talk, except in the case of wounded
men, will be pure bunk.
One could mention right of hand
half dozen players now in the Army
who were through as major leaguers
and knew it, and who could not pos
Lsibly hope 10 return to fast COM
Ipany for more than a few months.
Don't let the Army training act as a
stall for passe veterans who were ON
the ci1utes before Uncle Sam signed
] them.

who was a good runner before enter
ng the French Army at the beginning
Of the war. He was invalided out
with q wound in the arm that for
long time left the arm paralyzed. 1t
is perfectly well known that the
proper use of the arms is an fmpor-
|tant essential In preserving balance
in order to get the best results in
running, and Vermeulen.s goose
might have been supposed cooked.
But, the persistent Frenchman had
his heart set on an athletic career and
bravely went back to the cinder track
1t Is said that he has not yet TecOv-
cred the full use of his arm, yet in
the last three months this man, who
not only went through all of the
training, hardships and manual labor
of q first-line soldier, but is handi-
capped by a bad arm, has established
new French records for $500 and
3 900 meters.
Certainly II any class of athletes
in the world should be dfsastrously
Affected by their military manual
labor it should be runners, but the
case of VeYmeulen is enough in itself
ito prove that tine dope to that effect
is not reliable, to say the least.
Take the case of Lieut.. Reggie
Walker, Of South Africa, the man
who won the 1O0-meter race in the
Olympic Games, London, 1908. and
created an enormous sensation. Lieut..
Walker early enteFed the war with
the South African contingent, did
gallant service, was wounded, and
has recently been stationed In Eng
land. He has engaged more or less
lin track events while c0nvalescinG,
rand has not met with Q great deal
,of success, because of his wounds,
( but a writer tn an English sporting
paper the other day offered to back
Walker against any man in the world
n a 6O-yard sprint. That shows how
much walkers life as soldier has
get him back In the estimation OF
competent judges.
Consider now Jack Donaldson, the
Australian professional Bprinter, the
only man in the world who had run
100 yards in 9as seconds prior to
the time that the Clown Prince start
ed back toward Berlin after Chatsau-
Thierry. Donaldson a few weeks ago
was sent to training camp at Man
chester, England, but before that had
been fighting in France. He COM
peted on a British relay team against
the. French or Belgians, I forget
which, and did not hold up his end
well, the British losing. But Donald
son, the greatest sprinter that ever
lived, turned around month after
ward and IN 4-kil0meter cross-coun-
try run finished with the leaders, to
the vast astonishment of those who
thought that half mile was his
limit
In boxing there are a number of
instances OF men who have not only
served from one to three or more
years in the British, French or Bel
gian armies, but have even been in
valided out of those armies with
wounds, who not only have failed to
slip as a result of their military ex-
perfence, but are even better than
hey were before hostilities began.
The most spectacular case is that of

viii military service and military
training reduce the efficiency OF attn
letVs In the specialties In which they
sexcelled before taking up arms.
This lis a practical and important,
and not an academic question. The
livelihood of large number OF pro
fessional athletes of one sort ana an
rther in the United States, Great Brit
ain, the British Colonies and France
and Belgium will depend upon the
answer.
While millions of men have been
IN the services of the Entente coun-
tries. and those men have been par
ficipating in military athletic meets
"a often as was possible, very little
sreal data upon the present problem
could he obtained. In the first place,
with few exceptions, participants m
military athletics had few opp0rtu-
mites to go through a proper course
of uftralning. They took an tmprOmptu
mart. and 1t was mot unknown for
men to come fresh from the front
after a hard course OF duty under
Nre. marked by loss of sleep, tTfee-
mar eating and bad water, to COM
Uete in track meets or in the boxing
ring. Manifestly, the marks made
NV such men could not be fairly COM
pared with their own performances
In civil life, or with the performances
nf civilians at home or abroad. Tne
aseunrtg of these meets, as published
In France. England or the United
States frequently showed what
maBmed to DE strange discrepancies
IN the work of well known stars, un-
It'll 1t was remembered that readers
at distance had no means of telling
what preparation, II any the stars
had received.
Manager John J. McGraw, of the
Naw York Giants, Is inclined to fear
firat their strenuous labCrs will take
the edge on the speed of the big
league ball players now in the Army
or Navy, for the reasons that have
dhean suggested. He predicts that
their muscles will be tightened and
hardened, losing the suppleness and
INABILITY that are necessary IN men
who are necessarily making quick
starts. or trying to swing a bat fast
enough to connect with the delivery

Only recently one of the most
important figures in the six-day
bicycle race in New York was Lieut..
Marcel Dupuy, invalided out of the
French Army, with wounds which
included some in the legs. Dupuy
would not only have finished up with
the leaders in that race II his part
Wers, Frank l.. Kramer, and later
Tom Bello, had been able to stick
with him, but might have won. That
zxRs an endurance test rather than
test of nimbleness and speed, in the
aggregate, but it was noticeable that
IN the sprints which were called for
eEery afternoon and night of the six
days, Dupuy was always q prom
inent contender and frequently WIN
ner. SO that it cannot be said that
his army work had in the least mill
.Anted against his efficiency or speed
IN bicycle racing.
