BRITISH BUSINESS
STUNNED MANDATE.

Premier Lloyd George has person
ally met the Russian bolshevik minis
ter of trade and commerce in London
and arranged with that gentleman for
the opening of a bolshevik central
trading office in the British capital
and the exchange of goods with British
traders. Italy. likewise, is busily ne
gotiating with a view to resuming
trade relations with Russia. There is
little wonder that those two govern
ments tough shy of a mandate over
Armenia, which would have involved
a war against the bolsheviks who are
invading that country. but with whom
the British and Italians are anxious to
do business on peaceful terms.

Topic: The Lord Is Our {
Shepherd. {
Psalm %. {
REV. j. ]. DICkEI. c

This is called The Shepherd
Psalm"
In his youth David was a shepherd.
and so was perfectly acquainted with
shepherd life. Travellers tell us that
TO this day Palestine is land of shep-
herds. They lead their fiocks to the
open, uncultivated lands where there
are cliffs, dark valleys and wild beasts.
The psalm is allegorical. 1t has an
allegory OF the shepherd and also of
the hospitaler or entertainer. We
know know little or nothing of shep-
herd life as it exists in the Oriet. We
drive our sheep; they lead theirs. The
shepherd goes before and the sheep
follow. There every sheep has a name
and when that name is called the
sheep responds. Travellers tell us
they have seen the shepherd call each
sheep by name and it would come to
him. This seems remarkable to US.
Jesus said; Il am the good shepherd
and know my sheep and am known of
mine" Again My sheep hear my
voice, and l know them, and they fol-
low me-" Jesus understood how the
shepherds of his country managed
their sheep.
Sheep are the most defenseless Of all
domestic annals. Hence they need a
shepherd. They do not have the de-
gree of instinct that other animals
possess; so they need a leader. The
sheep here represents the genuine
child OF God, the true believer. Guile
les. helpless, dependent he needs q
trueshepherd. Jsus sustains that re-
latien to him. He must follow Jesus
or the wild beasts of Satan will de-
stroy him. If he wander away from the
flock he needs a shepherd to bring
him back The shepherd stays by his
flock by day and by night. The good
shepherd even laid down his life for
his sheep. Man IS not as tractable as
a sheep. He has will that is perverse
and the Good Shepherd has great diff
ficulty in controlling him He hears
the voice Of the Shepherd but does not
always follow Him. This is primary
cause of all mans sO-caIled misfor-
tunes. They disObey God Like the
sheep. as long as men remain in the
shepherds care they are absolutely
safe. But men seem to prefer danger
TO safety. hence they strike out their
own ways irrespective of the will of
God.
The abundant provision God makes

WILSON'S ILLUSION.

Senator Underwood. their leader, join

for his children is typified by the pro
vision the shepherd makes for the sus-
tenance and safety of his sheep. The
abundant table, the overlooking cup,
the defense from enemies, are just
what man needs. With such a shep-
herd the Christian should have no
doubts or fears, but rejoice in the as
surance that goodness and mercy
shall follow all the days of your lives
and we shall dwell forever in the
church below and in the House not
made with hands,

NAVY MAKES MARK
HANGING Up Wins
Thirty-three Victories, Without
Defeat, Their Portion in
Two Months.
by HUGH II. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS, March 1.-The Mid
shipmen have made the remarkable
record OF winning thirty-three ath-
lctic events during January and Feb
ruary OF the present year. without
sustaining one defeat. The contests
have been in basketball. swimming,
wrestling. boxing. gymnastics. fenc-
ing and water polo, and against the
representatives OF the biggest ath-
letic institutions in the East.
There is more than an even chance
that they will complete their season
of winter sports without defeat in
any branch. At least, this Is the very
definite ambition OF the navy athletes
and the men who are directing ath-
letics at the Naval Academy.
Tho main basketball team won
twelve games in that period, includ-
ing the defeat of the Military Acad-
envy. while the Plebes won three in
the same branch. The swimming
team has won six victories, generally
by a decisive score.
The wrestlers come next, with vic
tories over Lehigh. Pennsylvania,
Princeton and Columbia. while the
second string men defeated the Baiti-
more Y. NJ c. A. The boxers won
lItlT OHly ilaNShtF' ShA'
Varsity and Penn State; the fencers
and Gymnasts have each won two
contests. and the water polo team
won its first and only match.
On Saturday the boxers won from
Penn State, the wrestlers from Co
lumbia, the swimmers from Massa-
chusctts Tech and the fencers from
Yale. 1t was big day for Academy
sports, but did not equal the previous
Saturday, when the Navy won in
seven different lines, probably estab-
fishing a collegiate record.
Boxing and water polo are over for
the season. but the other sports, ex-
cept basketball will be continued
days will all have good programs
with three or four events, fencing
continuing through the month and
overlapping baseball and lacrosse,
the first of the spring sports
The wrestling team will have it's
work cut out for 1t, with Pennsyl-
vania State, Cornell and Yale in a
row. Up to this time. the Midship-
men have wrestled and won four
matches, and have lost but four bouts
OF the twenty-eight in which they
contested.
The members OF the boxing team
ana spike WeDD, tnelr CapaOIe nno
magnetic coach, are popular men
around the Naval Academy these days
Taking up the sport for the first time
this year in competition with teams
from the outside, the Midshipmen in
flicted bad defeats upon the teams
OF the University OF Pennsylvania and
Pennsylvania State College, and
sprung at once to front rank. The
sport has taken a big hold here, and
a bigger schedule will be arranged
for next year.

Washington Debut at
Folly.

Marin Plestira. the foremost chal-

bow before Washington fans tonight
at the Folly theater in a finish match
with Mike Howard, the Pacific Coast
champion. As plestina's manager has
posted $4,000 in Chicago as a side
bet for a match with Stecher. Wash
ington fans will undoubtedly greet
the opportunity to look over the big
fellow.
II have frequently been asked why
/ did not put on heavyweight wrest-
lers," said Jack Garrison, manager of
the Folly" and have always replied
that [ didn't have the money. You
know. heavyweights generally ask "A
lot more money than the men in the
lighter classes.
However. after thinking things
over, l have decided to give the
heavies a whirl. If my patrons will!
back me up, l shall try to show them
the best heavics in the country, not
even excepting Joe Stechner. the pres
ent champion; Earl Caddock. who lost
his title to Stecher, and Stanislaus

they want. I chose Plestina for two
reasons for my first show. He was
available. and he is today the fore
most challenger OF Champion Stech-
er. Also, Washington has never seen
him in action"
Plestina is Greek of huge bulk.
Finding all the heavies unwilling -
meet him, he recently accused them OF
forming n wrestling trust Now ne
seems likely to get a chance before
the summer is out with Stecher for
the heavyweight title.
Howard, who grapples with Pies
tina tonight at the Folly, has been
very successful on the Pacific coast.
SO successful that he has come East
for bouts with the best in the bust
ness. Just what he may be able to
do against Plestina is not known. but
Manager Garrison hopes he will prove
n tough customer.
Tonights bout Is without time
limit, and the winner will collect
$1,000, the largest sum ever paid a
wrestler in Washington.
