THE DEAD LINE FOR THE ATHLETE.

Recently wel-known New York man, in apparently
good health boxed few rounds in his athletic club, lay
down n the rubbing and died.
He fifty years old, an age when men should give

The brain continues to function at forty and to sew

But the bodily tissues past their prime at forty, and

The late Theodore Roosevelt, a who slowly and

ieved that he could continue after fifty to do the things
he did when thirty.
But strong was he unable to endure the rig

BOI SHEVISM'S TEST.

7 ATEST reports from the Crimea indicate an
IL almost complete victory Of Lerhne'S Red Army
over the White Amy led by Baron Wrangel.
Wrangel is reported to have taken refuge on
French battleship when hope Of defending Sebas-
topol failed.
If these reports prove true, the Bolshevik mill
tary triumph will be we'll nigh complete. In which
case Lenine and Trotzky are now facing their most
serious struggle.
Defending Boshevism on its own merits among
the people of Russia will prove immensely more
difficult than defending BolShevik Government
from a succession of adventurous attacks led by
individuals suspected of mperialistc or Czarstic
designs.
Abundant testimony as to the actual physical
effects of Bolshevism has been brought out Of
Russia by observers who went into the country
prepared to approve and sympathize with the revo-
utonary Government BolShevism is a proved
failure by every measure except that of Self-defense
In time of war any Government has powerful
psychological advantage over its opponents. For
more than two years the Bolshevik have waged
war against one force after another
On the other side most of the Governments of
the world have by now either tired or become con-
vn1ed of The ftrtility Of armed opposition to Boil
sheviSm in Russia.
Lenine and Trotzky now face long, hard winter,
with no tangible threat OF oounter-revoution from
without. They will be forced TO defend BolshevSm
from internal criticism.
The SevereSt test Of BolShevsm impends.

INVEST THE INTEREST.

A PPROXIMATELY S7o,oOO,Ooo of interest on
"A Second Liberty bonds is due to-day.
More than 100000 persons subscribed for
bonds when the loan was made, three years ago.
Since that time there has been concentration of
the bonds. Large holiers have bought at bargain
rates, as small holders have sold at loss. This is
to be regretted Many of the bonds were bought
purely from PATRIOTISM and the rise in prices which
has followed forced many to sell their equities with
out completing savings
In too many cases. however, the proceeds of the
sale of bonds have been squandered.
But TO the fortunate who have held on the invest
ment is as good as the day on which it was made
The Second loan was the first really popular Oan
One person in ten subscribed, or more than twice as
many as in the First loan Many learned the lesson
OF saving and thrift from experience with the
Liberties.
These bonds were good investment when issued.
How much better the investment to-day, when the
same bond can be purchased at discount OF nearly
SIS on the SiOo bonds.
At this price the bond yields nearly s per cent
far better than savings bank interest-and a profit
bonus of the difference between buying prize and
face value when The bont natures.
Those who have interest coupons to cash to-day
will be wise to take them TO the bank with instruc-
ton to apply them the purchase of another SINH
lar bond. Most banks will gladly loan the balance

WHY?

ok children were crushed to death yesterday
- while trying to get out Of a moving picture
theatre in which the cry of fire had started pane
The evidence goes to show that although the
theatre may have had a sufficient number OF exits
at least one of those exits was blocked 1t was be-
hind this door that could not be opened that the
trampled bodies were found.
The Catharne Street tragedy will start an in
veSigation of moving picture theatres and strioer
enforcement of laws and regulations applying to
tbem.
We shall hear authorities insisting that theatre
exits must be not only unlocked but unobstructed.
We shall hear vigorous citingS of the ordinance
which fotbids moving picture theatres to admit
children under sixteen unless accompanied by an
older person.
The cruel part Of it is that these laws have long
been in existence
Their proper enforcement would have prevented
what happened in the Cathaine Moving Picture
Theatre.
Six children trampled to death in order that
great community may be reminded that its laws
were made TO be enforced and that prevention is
better than prosecution!
Why vigilance only AFTER lives have been
sacrificed?

The SUGAR LOAN.

UDLANS for the proposed Cuban loan have
been revised" the New York Commercial
reports on the authority Of "a director Of a large
bank interested"
According to the new plan, no public offering
Of securities will be made It is proposed to form
a committee to represent plantation owters who are
in need of funds to prepare for and carry them
through the grinding season. Several banks here
have manifested willingness TO loan funds for the
coming sugar crop through the Committee on Ap-
proved Credit or Collateral"
Such plan IS decided Improvement over the
rnore formal loan. Under such an arrangement the
extension Of credit would be business matter for
the individual banks. The Federal Reserve Board
would be in position to enforce the same general
rules II has laid down regarding restriction Of the
rsdiscourt privilege of banks carrying too much
paper for SPECTATORS and hoarders. These rules
should be enforced.
Credit for grinding the sugar crop is desirable.
But the United States has suffered from too liberal
credit, which enabled Cuban and American exploit
efs to gouge in the sugar market.
