The most notable fact in connection with the
"prize platforms" provided for the considera-
ton Of the Republican convention is the fact
that not one Of the platforms submitted even
made a suggestion Of declaring in favor Of a

home to Republican leaders that the people of
the nation do not want to go back to the
beer barrel or the gin bottle.

Here is the book that so many people
pectedly convenient form. We had
contemplated with some dismay the
prospect of a history which would be
as voluminous as all previous history
put together; that will come, too, in
course of time. What most people
want is a short book of reference, to
use in placing events which are con-
fused in a memory of five years of I'M
ceasing crises. This is such a book.
NJ Vast, who is honorary examiner
for admission to st. Cyr, the French
West Point. was I'm a position to know
intimately the military and political de-
tails of the world war; and here he
presents a clear, concise outline of the
history which will later be elaborated
into many treatises by the savants.
In France, where critics and public are
able to Judge better than we of the ac-
curacy of such an account, the book
has been welcomed as unquestionably
satisfying all the requirements of the
case. One may accept the statements
Of NJ. Vast as being within human
limits entirely authoritative as regards
the circumstances and events of the
struggle.
The first chapters deal with the stu
alton of Europe before the war, the
alignment of the Powers and the
growing irritation. chiefly manifested
in the aggressive tone of Germany.
As the story proceeds, not only are the
military actions described. but also the
political situations which developed
among the belligerents and neutrals
Thus a clear picture is drawn of the
manifest causes underlying national
action. The account includes also the
various peace proposals. from Ger

of the armistice. The book was evil

All the Nations
Need Each Other

EVERYBODY'S WORLD. BY Sherwood
Eddy. George II. Doran Company
Communique from one of the great
generals of Anglosaxondom. II we
had a sense for the realities we should
appreciate the Importance of this far
flung campaign in which agriculture,
medicine and the broad social idea of
Christianity, are penetrating the old
civilizations Of the East Sherwood
Eddy of the International Y M. c. A.
reports the situation in the storm CEN
tres where the older races are stirring
with new life.
Egypt is demanding independence,
and yet would be certain to lapse into
the worst sort of graft and misrule
If England suddenly let go of the
reins What is required is education,
Christianity and a chance for evolu-
ton. Turkey and Armenia are faced
with the disastrous consequences of
Turkish misgovernment at home and
selfish intrigues by all the European
Powers. Mr.. Eddy believes that no
Power but America can straighten out
the tangle and that it is America S
duty to take a mandate for the whole
mess at once and clean it up before it
grows any worse.
The Russians are in tremendous
need of our friendship that we should
repent of our selfishness and unwill-
ingness to sympathize with them.
They have gone to extremes in their
revolt against the old tyranny but the
descendants of our own revolution
ought to be the first to offer sympa-
thetic help toward a sane, democratic
reorganization after the storm. Japan
is going through a great crisis, in
which she will turn her face toward
democracy and Christianity, or set out
on Germany's trail toward militarism
and disaster The American attitude
at home and American influence in
Japan are to be important factors in
her decision.
China is also in a crisis, with her
Government in a state of collapse, and
no moral power of her own to reor-
ganize her national life Whether she
will be led into chaos through her eX
ploitation by Western interests, or
into a new moral strength and ma
tional greatness through Christianity
Is the question now being decided.
India, too, is seething with new
forces, which may raise her people
gradually to high level of prosperity
and intelligence, or may explode dis
astrously in violent revolution. The
American influence tends to help the
Indians to better living conditions and
more personal power and so tends to
lessen the pressure toward violence.
So in all the critical points where
the majority of the human race is
forming itself for the future-every-
where except in Russia-the West is
striking while the iron is hot and is
leavening with its own culture the
mass of black and yellow and brown
men who may some day rule the earth.
If they shall rule 1t according to the
best ideals of liberty and of religion
1t will be we'll for us. Sherwood Eddy
and his fellows are building defences
that may be worth more to us than
armies and navies; at the same time
that they are saving thousands of
human beings from physical suffering
and moral confusion. His report of
progress Is well worth the attention of
all intelligent people.

gives to NJ. Vast's book curious air of
unreality. Ages have passed since
November, 1915 and the sentiments OF
those days seem very far away. In

in those days we thought it was a
glorious thing to have saved our civil

quite dead and that a new day had
dawned. All through the book is the
war psychology; in reality this is no
more than summary of the official
communiques and the Government pro-
nouncements with which the people
were fed during the war. Long before
the end of the war, however, every one
except. perhaps, the Germans, had
learned that his government had other
objects in view than keeping him thor
oughly informed. Morale. not truth.

ance that she would make no separate
peace; the fact that it's publication in
Jugo-Slavia by the Germans turned
that people from pro-ally to pro-Ger-
man is as conveniently ignored as
1t was when the censor was watching
over our morale.
In few instances it is admitted that
the Allies made mistakes OF tactics

by calling themselves too many pretty

In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 25c lower
 Opening prices for wheat had a mo- ticeable upward swing, chiefly as a re- suit of rains in Argentina and of atten- tion given Indianapolis dispatches about plans to finance exports. Advances, however, were soon more than wiped out through enlargement of selling pressure and through opinions that ur- gent foreign buying in the United States was nearly ended. Removal of hedges on Canadian wheat taken by the British royal commission tended to lift prices later, as did talk of placing an immediate embargo on wheat inn ports int othis country Nevertheless gains failed to last.
 Corn and oats were steadied by re- ports that the shipment of corn was not increasing to the extent that many traders had looked for.

TRINITY BROKE OFF ATHLETIC
 RELATIONS WITH WESLEYA

Hartford,A Conn, Dec. S.-Trinity col lege broke off athletic relations with Wesleyan University today. The action was taken by the undergraduate body
 of Trinity at a meeting this afternoon. The students voted for a permanent severance of relations between the two old Connecticut rivals. The undergrad
 uate session followed a joint meeting
 here last night of the senates of Trim
 ity and Wesleyan, when a suggestion
 was made for break in relations for
 two years after efforts to adjust the diff
 ferences between the two colleges had
 failed. At last nights session the Wes- leyan senate disavowed published state ments derogatory to Trinity.
 Football relations between Wesleyan and Trinity were resumed this year for the first time since 1919, when a break in relations occurred as a result of Trin- ity's eligibility rules and the playing of George Brickley, a professional, on the Trinity eleven. The present suspen- | sion of relations grew out of disagree I ments between the two colleges follow | ing the football game at Middletown on Oct. g, which Wesleyan won, 20 to 0.

 CARNIVAI. NEXT MO

New York. Dec. S.-An international boxing carnival between the leading amateur middleweights and heavy weights of. England and the United States, to be held here next month, will be the initial international contest in a sport series which promises to make 1921 famous, it was learned today
 Plans for the bouts, which will be held at place and date to be an nounced later by the International Sporting club, were virtually completed yesterday by the club matchmaker, Tex O'Rourke, after a series of conferences III London.
 Unless there is an eleventh hour change in the plans, the bouts will bring together the best amateur middleweight and heavyweight boxers of the English and United States armies and navies. The leading champions in these two weight classes of the London police and fire departments will also face oppon- ents from the New York departments. All bouts will be under the regula- tions of the International Boxing Feder- ation and will have the sanction of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, which controls amateur boxing l in this country.
 | was conceived some months ago by w. 1 A. Gavin, of the International S. C., but | owing to the amateurism involved it was necessary to procure the cooperation of both the American and English Ath- i letic Unions which exercise Jurisdiction i over amateur boxers in their respective
 countries. Considerable correspondence 1 crossed the ocean before it was decided 1 that conditions warranted the sending of | Matchmaker O'Rourke to England to | complete the arrangements Cable l grams received by both the A. A. U. and 1 the International s, c. officials indicate l that final details have been completed
 and the English boxers will sail for this l country in a few days, if they are not ] already on the high seas.
 The invading boxers are expected tc [ arrive here in time to give them at leas two weeks training before the contests
 In view of their early departure F w Rubein, secretary of the Amateur Ath letic Union, today forwarded the follow i ing cablegrame to the secretary of tht
 English Union:
