or die: there was no room for any
one else. The same spirit stirred here
in 1870. famed all over Belgium and
Northern France in 1914; but In Metz
you felt You had resurrected the Ger
man strain: some of the things which
lately terrorized the world were con-
ceived here. Here the German for
fifty years gloried in the power to- tyr-
annie, abuse, persecute; his material
atrocities of the late war were the
natural evolution of his spiritual
atrocities of half a century. What
he did to the soul of Messin he did to
the body of citizens of Louvain and to
q score of French cities.
l have seen no such interesting or
impressive city in Europe during the
war or in the world before as is Metz
today Hating the German thing all
my life. i have never understood it
half as well as in this tragic town re-
called from the grave, still fncredu-
ious of its deliveranee, hope and fear
still struggling-a prisoner newly come
from an underground cell after half a
century OF torture And you have the
sense in Metz that Germany may come
again. The very Solidity of his build
ings. the very extensiveness of his
construction, foster the illusion. 1t
was not the military caste or the i'm
perial master who worked here; it
was the race, expressing its purpose

dence. Rome restored the barriers of
the Rhinefand against these same bar
barians, but they passed ii still again.
You have the sense of two civiliza :
lions in shock a Metz-of the Ger
man once more III retreat. but still re-
solved in his inscrutabIe heart to re-
turn to conquer, imprison and tyran-
nize again. The story of Metz is the
story of Alsace-Lorraine for a half
century, of Belgium and the north
of France for four years and a half.
| This you realize in Metz as nowhere
else the German nlec Mt to do to Paris
and to London-in time his eyes would
have turned to even wider horizons.
He fell short Of Paris. He never APP
preached London, but in Metz he has
had his full will for half a centur !
and the thing that he is in this world
is written in every material thing, It
is written on the face of every French
citizen of Metz.

best intentions. is like many other
good intentions, if indications mean
anything. bound to fail.
The trainers of the rider in their re-
port and the House in its discussions
give expression to their intention to
oppose a standing army of any such
numbers as 100000. the number that
they may authorize. If the proposed
bill met with the disapprovaf of the
committee, it would. as a permanent
measure, have been frowned upon by
the Senate, for many in that body
have realized that the military sys-
tenn in effect before the war is not
satisfactory and that thing which
may be successful is necessity if
there is to be any defensive army.
They recognize that q system that
viii not work under war conditions
is unfit for peace times; for a change
back TO Il war method will breed as
much confusion as the present war
has seen in the department.
One feature in the rider is worthy
OF Notice, and that is that the COM
mittee acted favorabIy on every rec
omuendation made by Brig. Gen. j.
W. Heavey for the support of the Ma
tionai Guard. 1t is not certain that
this action is to be taken as an in
dorsement of the system of maintain
ing q state militia for federal use: for
the recommendations of the militia
bureau did not go to that end. Gen.
Heavey advocated military training,
and the support Of the militia for the
needs of the several states. This sup
port will provide in cash and kind
nearly S5o,000,Go0 for the National
Guard
Perhaps it was the reluctance of
both political parties to assume re-
sponsibiIity for military legislation
that prevented the introduction of a
bill meant sincerely to give training
90 an army. Perhaps some other
cause prevented action at this time.
1t is a fact. however, that a great
opportunity has been lost by reason
of a failure somewhere to function,
and the military system of the United
States is back where it was before
the war. The government is pinning
the salvation of the nation in event
of war upon a big navy, which cannot

Hayakawa Tomorrow
BY JAY ELLESS

A screen story built around Wal
lace Irwin's famous character "Ha-
sllimura Togo" will be shown at the
Opera House on tomorrow starring
Sessue Hayakawa, famous Japanese
screen actor. Mr.. Hayakawa's work
up to the present time has been for
the most part in ultra-dramatic cha
racterizations such as his work in
THE Cheat" and the screen version
Of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous
story, THE Bottle Imp
1t will be remembered that HASH
mura Togo" is the name of a Japa-
nese schoolboy and there is something
particularly appropriate in billing
"Sessue Hayakawa" as "Hashimura
Togo"
William c. De Mile who recently
devoted himself entirely to scenario
work, was assigned to produce the
"Hashimura Togo" picture because of
his special adaptability for such cha
racter work. Theatregoers who APP
plauded his earlier productions, such
as "The Ragamuffin.' THE Clown"
and The Heir to the Hoorah." will
appreciate how surely Mr.. De Miles
direction insures the success Of pro-
ton "Hashimura Togo" is a Para
mount picture.

HAYDEN WITNESSES
FAST FIGHT FIESTA

HAYDEN, Ariz., Nov. 1.-THE Hay
den fight fans who gathered at the
Rex theater last Friday were treated
to whirlwind show Two knockouts
and a decision brought the scheduled
20 rounds down TO nine, but those nine
rounds were crowded with action and
there was not dull moment during the
evening.
The men were evenly matched with
the exception of Kid Shirley and
Young Connely. The Kid put up
game fight, but was hopelessly out
matched. The promoter of the fight is
not wholly to blame for this as he
had arranged the match by letter and
Connolly was moderated by the peo-
pie who sought a fight for him.
The preliminary between Tex Wat
son and Glen Grant was the best fight
of the evening for the spectators, as
the boys mixed every minute. Grant
went wild after the first round and
kept Watson busy. Watson, though
young in ring tactics, fought like a
veteran and brought Grant up short
with lefts to the head, following with
his right. y few OF these and Grant
was groggy, Watson gaining a we'll
earned decision.
The semi-final, Kid Shirley versus
Young Grant, came to a sudden finish
in the second round when Shirley took
the count following a tremendous jolt
to his jaw 1t was clear when the men
stepped into the ring that Shirley had
not chance to win, and the very fact
of his going on with the fight proved
| him to be a game little fighter.
The final was a return match be-
| tween Louis Mendoza and Joe Con-
| way. Mendoza took the fight to Con-
ways corner right off the bell and kept
! him there. 1t looked as though Men
| doza would win easily, but, in the third
round Conway, who was being badly
punished, made a lucky swing and con-
nected with that portion of Mendoza s
/ anatomy known as the solar plexus
Louis Immediately lost all interest in
| the fight, and came out with the short
| end of the purse. Young Robson OF
| Hayden, challenged the winner.
