MADE IN FRANCE
A Y. M. c. A. Physical Director Has
Taught the French Glove Factory
How to Make Boxing Gloves

Paris, Jan. 10-"Carrying Goals to
Newcastle" is nothing to the job
that sparrow" Robertson, q 7. NJ.
C. A. physical director in France is
now putting over. Or so it would
seem at first glance, anyhow. Spar
row" is teaching the French to make
gloves.
Waltz Don't get excited! It isn't
SO bad as it sounds. Nobody can
teach the French anything about the
art of making kid gloves, of course.
It is generally conceded that in turn
ing out the finer grades they are
equal, If not superior, to anyone else
in the world.
sparrow" is far too modest to
think that he can step in to improve
one Of the leading and most sue
cessful industries Of France. He would
as soon attempt to teach Ty Cobb to
hit or Jim Thorpe to play football.
| What he is really going to do is to
teach them to make boxing gloves
for use in fistic matches at Red Tri-
angle centers.
There is great scarcity of padded
mits in France. In spite of the efforts
of the Y. NJ. C.. A. to bring them
from America, to buy them in Eng
land and in France, there aren I
enough in sight to supply half OF
even third of the men that want
to maui somebody in the ring. In
order TO sclve the problem it was de-
cided to induce French glove makers
to manufacture them. 1t took some
j persuasion, too, for building a dainty
| giant for a girl and an eight ounce
swatter for a fighter are two very
different things. The manufacturers
finally said that if somebody would
show them just what was wa
they would give it a trial.
Before becoming a Y. M. C. A
physical director Sparrow" was il
the boxing glove manufacturing line
at home and he volunteered to gc
/ down into the glove-making district
Of France and get the new industr,
started. He is giving Instruction il
cutting, stuffing, and SO on, and i
: will not be- long before the qualit5
of gloves turned out over here vii
be good enough to satisfy a world
. champion. In fact, the French sa,
that once they get the 'shang" of tn,
thing, they will be making just a
good gloves for fistic purposes a.
they do for adding final touch tt
: a lady's toilette AS theirs will be al
hand work, they certainly ought t
be able to aompete with machin
{ made maulers of manufacturers il
other countries.

to their aid The Berlin Deutsche Al
legmeine Zeitung implores him to get
busy and have the peace terms all fix
ed up before March 4:
ssIn view of Americas sacrifices in
blood and money, we may well believe
that in order to prevent fresh wars
the President is still serious about his
scheme to conclude peace based
upon a league of nations. But his
position in the council of the Allies
and his influence have altered con-
siderably since his speech on Septem-
Der 81 Even the French, LISTING for
revenge, did not then think it possible
that the collapse of Germany would
be so speedy and so complete. The
intoxication of victory, which is only
now on lis beginnings, will go on in
creasing, and there viii be an ever
lessening disposition to listen to VIII
sons strivings for moderation and TO
follow the line Of his ideals. If the
! new American congress appears on
the scene with its anti German maio-
rity, it might well turn out that the
German people could no longer reck-
on upon the carrying out Of the prin-
ciples which in the peace offer of
November they accepted as the
foundation Of q just peace"
The Kolnische Zeitung calls for
the immediate sunmonlng of a Ger
man national assembly in order to
strengthen the Presidents hand, and
! it is terrified at the prospect of Com
gressional influence being felt at the
peace table:
ut is very much to our interest
to get things clear with Wilson while
he is still able to make his word pre-
vail with the other Allies. This VII.
not be the case for very long, because
he has TO reckon at home with q
strong commencement. The Repub-
leans, WHO at the recent elections
conquered beth Houses of Congress
are furious opponents of Wilson's
! fourteen points. At the moment
their sharper tones can find expires
sion only in the press, because they
do not come into power until Marcel
next. But when once they have
taken control it will be much more
difficult for US than it is now to pu
through tie Wilson principles. Viii
son himself will see his arm paralyz
ed, but we alone will have to bea
the bad effects.
. THE only possible conclusion TO
: us to draw from this state of thing
is that we should garner the peac
harvest while the political weather
still to some extent favorable for us
I In other words, we must pave tn
q way as quickly as possible for tn

GERMANY MUST
BE WATCHED
Til, Revolution Under Suspicion with
Circumstances that Indicate
the Old Gang Is Still on
the lob

Ii it be true as the London Times
say that Germany still has between
5000, 900 and 100000 men under
arms and that they can quietly re-
place their heavy artillery and re-
sumo warfare under pretence of de-
Tending the Fatherland then greater
vigilance is necessary than is at pres
ent apparent. It may be true that
immediate rehabilitation of such an
enormous army is impossible, espec-
tally as France is quite properly IN
sisting on receiving the large guam
titles of railway rolling stock de-
manded by Foch under the terms of
the armistice. But it would seem to
be a measure of reasonable and neces-
sary precaution for German demobi-
lization to be carried out under the
supervision, if not control, of an in
terallied commission.
Germany is no more to be trusted
in the present circumstances than she
was before she admitted defeat and
asked for terms. The Herald has
from the first pointed out that the
revolution vas under suspicion as a
spontaneous national movement and
that there was strong reason for be-
lieving that it was being engineered
by the old imperial and junker gang
The fact that popular outbreaks have
occurred IN Berlin and otheracities,
and that an imperial palace hasSbeen
looted, does not tend to diminish that
belief, especially when one notes that
the hooters have been compelled to
restore much Of the property which
they had. removed. &S
| 1t is unhesitatingly affirmed by
those VINO are closely following de-
velopnents that behind the present
governmental facade in Germany
s'the old officials sit at their ole
work" and that no attempt has beer
made to get rid of Hindenburg and
Hasse, Erzberger and Ledebour, Soil
and Kautsky. The lastshas been in.
