KEEP UP III PLAY

NJ; a. frSt war in which the fighters were trained to play.
The hostess houses, neighborhood entertainments and boxing matches
of the environments were the beginnings of carefully systematlzed
amusements that accompanied the fighting forces from enr0hmen' 70
rehabilitation.
Photographs and baseball bats, boxing gloves and moves were
recognized as a part of the essential military equipment.
Recreation was planned like drill, transport and rationhng' we
tried to find the best way of doing all these things. Famous pugllsts'
wreslers, baseball stars and physical trainers were hired to accom-
pany the army and navy.
Volunteer organizations, endorsed and sponsored by the govern
ment. raised hundreds of millions of dollars to provide healthful'
helpful, recreation. 1t was no small army of professional organizers
of amusement that accompanied the armed host from eantonment to
fighting front and back to hospitals, rest camps, convalescent stations
and rehabilitation quarters.
Playing and fighting were intermingled and both were the better
done. A Surrey regiment actually dribbled a football across No
Mans Land and into the German trenches during an advance II
American soldiers tell Of baseball scores spoiled by shells that blew
away the bases.
This was another of the thousands things that made this war, and
the lessons that must be learned from this war, unlike all other wars
and their lessons.
The careful planning of plays was official recognition that our
fighters were human beings, citizens of a democracy, fighting for hui
nan, democratic happiness. 1t was this that sent our boys with joyous
joking, unconquerable defiance of death through the red hell of bat
tie to glorious victory. 1t kept them fit and brought them back the
cleanest army that ever answered a roll call.
We learned much about playing as well as fighting in this war.
We learned that vicious diversions could be fought much better by
abundant recreation than by superabundant preaching.
W. learned that play, as well as government, must be democratic.
Paternt listic patronizing, cup stage directing and debating, reused
resentment or was baffled by indifference. Only where skilled leader
ship was inspired by the spirit of cooperation was success attained.
We learned that such democratic play is essential to vigorous
morale in fighting or working. The boys at the front combined play
ing and fighting and went into the great game" with the same spirit
they learned in genHer sports. When labor shall be able to include
that spirit of constructive play, with its joyous rivalry in accomplish
ment, we shall have learned one more great lesson the war tried to
teach us.
The least we can do is TO save the splendid machinery we build for
the organization of amusement among the soldiers and sailors and apply
s9el ssisfa& az The duif3oy produced by all work and no play is an
inefficient worker and a poor citizen. Our industrial centers, even
more than III military camps, need organized, virile, democratic
amusement.
Our schools and colleges, social centers and factories can make
splendid use of the amusement forces modified for war.

"A man may neglect his duties for

Public Opinion
LAY OFF THE HAMMEH.

| EulLOE Evening NEWS.
The majority of the American peo-
| pie today are with our President with
| whole heart and soul. Still there are
a number of people. though not many
! who are making loud cries of critic
| ism against our leader at this time.
| They are donouncing him for having
troops in Russia; for leaving he
| country to attend the Peace confer
! ence; Tor exercising various powers
heretofore exercised by our congress
and they complain of several more
of his policies.
They failed, as he did not. TO see
the fearful menace of the spread of
| Bolshevikism. This class of people
| would not see such a danger until 1t
cropped out or u w soil, which
is far from impossible. Our Presi-
lent f~oreseeing this danger, sent
troops to Russia to check this Boil
sheviki mob rule and disrule before
IL had chance to spread. His correct
foresight is undoubtedly proven by
the fact that certain elements OF the
Bolsheviks showing itself in other
foreign countries Is of the same
brand originating in Russia. IL by
chance. this movement should show
signs of life in this country, no one
could lay a particle of blame on Will
son. He is getting to the root of the
trouble, and not trimming branches.
He has gone to France to attend
the Peace Conference where he Will
don the gloves with the or
France. England, italy and other
countries. Unquestionably our repre-
| sentative at his meeting should be
our most able statesman n our
| GREATEST MAN and that's Just the
! man we have there. He has gone to
| see that none of our boys have sacri-
| Aced their lives in vain. He Is there
to see that there will be no repetition
OF the terrible war just passed. HE
Is THERE FOR THE UNITED
| STATES.
During the war, when h outlook
was not as bright as It is Mt present
| there were fewer people contradict
ing him. We all meeky placed u
trust, confidence and our all in MS
| hands, to do as he chose. We stood
by him then. and he won for us, Il
we should stand by him now.

COSSACKS FLOC
YANK;; APOLOGY
DEMAND MADE

VLADIVISTOK, Friday, Sept. 19.
-(By the Associated Press.) -(De-
layed. Major General William s.
Graves, commander of American
forces in Siberia, has demanded an
apology from General Rozanct, IN
command of Russian troops IN Prla-
mur province, for the arrest of Cap
tain L. P. Johns, of the Twenty-sev-
enth regiment. and Corporal Benja-
min Sperling, of the Thirty-first and
the fiogging of the latter by Cossacks
commanded by General Kalmikoff.
An investigation Of thc conduct OF
a Japanese officer at !9rar, the place
where the arrests took place, has al
so been initiated by the Japanese
commander.
The incident, which occurred Sep
tember 5. is considered one of the
most serious since the Allies landed
in Siberia. The two Americans, in
uniform and on official business, went
to Inman, a town ITO miles north of
this city, on the section of the rail-
road guarded by Chinese troops, pass
ports being unnecessary by agree
ment between the Allies. While they
were at a hotel there, detachment
of Cossacks entered and arrested the
Americans, claiming they were not
provided with identification papers.
CAPTAIN Johns managed to escape,
and catching a moving train, went
to Spasske, where he reported to the
American officer in command. A de-
tachment of $50 Americans from the
Twenty-seventh regiment at once en-
trained and went to lnman, to effect
Sperling's release, and on arriving
there took three Cossacks as host
ages.
They found General Kalmikoff's S
men entrenched near the station and
were prepared to use force against
them when a Japanese major inter
ceded for the Cossacks, stating it
is alleged, that in the event OF hos
tilities between the Americans and
! Cossacks the japanese troops at In
man would take side with the lat
ter. He at last told the Americans
that Sperling had been taken to
Khaborovsk, where General Kamlk-
off has his headquarters. A tele-
graphic demand for Sperling was sent
% Khaborovsk and a reply was re-
ceived that he would be re-
leased at once. The Americans then
returned to Spasske, taking their
hostages with them.
