UNCLE JOE" SEES
CAvORT|NG CLOWNS
One of the More Than 1000
That Saw Last Nights
= Performance.

In the crowd of more than 1000 per-
son who last night filled the big tent
at 18th and II streets northeast where
the Sells-F'loto second greatest show
an earth" opened yesterday. there was
no more interested spectator than a
thin-faced. white-haired man. with a
fringe of beard la Lincoln. a Champ
Clark fedora hat and a long. thin Pitts
bursh stogie set at an angle of forty
five degrees.
Answer quickly: Who was it,
Why. none other than our own
"Uncle Joe' Cannon. Several days ago
"Uncle jos" celebrated his eighty
fourth birthday anniversary Last
night. to Prove ne was a. young as
the youngest boy who sat in pop-eyed
awe at the Kaleidoscope spectacle be-
meath the big top Uncle joe de-
clded to go to the circus.
There he sat. near the top of the
Srandstand, where he could see all the
attractions. He munched peanuts
snifed the sawdust. chortled with elee
at the antics of the clowns. and held
his breath while the fyinw trapeze
performers did their stunts.
En>t Meets Vest In Handshake.
Uncle Joe" had the pleasure of
meeting Georges Carpenter, hero of
the battlefields and the squared arena.
Carpenter was one of the principa
attractions of the Sells-Floto show
yesterday. After the usual "howdys"
were said h1r Cannon presented Car
nentier with one of his stogies The
fighter grinned and averred he would
not smoke it. but would keep it always
in remembrance of the occasion.
Well. the circus itself was all a
hrst-rate circus should be-and more.
The clowns were funnier than ever,
the eauestriennes more beautiful. the
trapeze performers more daring, and
the sideshows more ''sideshowy" than
In previous years.
"vamp" of the peroxide vintage
created great deal of fun before the
circus opened. She" accosted every
man who entered the tent. asking him
to tie her" shoe. One purple faced
old gentleman endeavored to accom-
modate the lady" but not before his
wife laid her eagle eye on him. With

seizing her husbands arm, marched
away in high dudgeon.
Elephants 'Shimmy' to Jungle Blues.'
The elephants were particularly
waltzed. and did other stunts. to the
delight of the crowd. Then came the
riders. the slack-wire artists, an army
of clowns. and-oh. well. you know
the attractions in a circus.
The wipd-up of the evening was an
exhibition of shadow boxing by Car
pentier. The French gentleman re-
ceives $500 a minute for four min
utes a day, two in the afternoon and
two at night. And it comes mighty
easy. After feinting, jabbing and

A Brighter Polish Prospect.

Better reports come from Poland. On
the Warsaw front under the leader
ship of President Pilsudski a success
full counter offensive has been launch
ed, and the bolshevik forces have be-
gun to withdraw. The reds, who had
crossed the Vistula southeast of War
saw, have been compelled to return
over the river. The whole military
situation has frightened for the
Poles. In the region of Thorn the
Danzig corridor has been cleared of
bolshevik troops and the menace to
communications has been greatly less
ened. But a new situation has de-
veloped at Danzig which may choke off
all supplies through that port. Sir
Reginald Tower, high commissioner at
Danzig under the league of nations,
has issued an order that no ship with
munitions for Poland shall be per-
mitted to enter Danzig. If such a ship
should arrive he will submit the mat
ter to the council of ambassadors. The
reason given by him is that he has no
forces at his command to maintain
order in case of trouble arising from
the unloading of Polish supplies at
that port. The French government has

Suffrage Chances Diminish.

The North Carolina senate yester-
day by vote of % to % decided to lay
on the table until the next regular
session the resolution ratifying the
Anthony amendment. 1t is known that
there is a stout opposition to ratifca-
ton in the house, members of which
brothers in Tennessee urging them to
defeat the amendment. 1t looks very
much as though North Carolina would
not supply the one vote needed for
ratification in season for this years
election.
Tennessee is still doubtful. The is
sue will probably be decided there to-
day. The senate has ratified and the
case is now up to the house. The vote
taken yesterday to adjourn until to-
day without action was SO to As, which
the opponents of suffrage declare is
the relative strength of the two sides
in that body. This is close enough to
make everybody nervous. A change of
four votes would transform the situa-
ton. The most intense pressure is
being put upon every member of the
house. If Tennessee refuses to ratify
and North Carolina postpones, the ma
tional political effect will be just about
a standoff as between the two demo-
cratic refusals when opportunity has
been given through extra sessions, and
the two republican refusals through
failure to call extra sessions in states
that would probably ratify if given a
chance.

The Third Party.

The farmer labor party declares in
substance that the two old parties are
corrupt, and, in the public interests,
should be scrapped. That proposition
was the basis of bull moosery. Bull
moosery is dead, while the two old
parties are still very much alive. Let
us call two witnesses.
Hiram johnson of California was
the bull moose candidate for Vice
President in 1912. He is now leader
in the republican party, wanted to be
its presidential candidate this year,
and will soon be on the stump advo-
eating the election Of Harding and
Coolidge. He has changed his opinion
radically about the party to which he
is now giving allegiance.
John NJ. Parker of Louisiana was
the choice of the bull moose party for
Vice President in 1916, and exceed
ingly anxious to make the race. But
Theodore Roosevelt declined the re-
nomination for first place, and that
left the party without a leader.
Widowed thus, so to say, Col. Parker
revised his notion about the demo-
cratic party, returned to it and voted
that year for Woodrow Wilson. He
has since, as democrat, become Gov
ernor of Louisiana, and has just of
fered his services as a stumper to the
manager of the Cox campaign.
A third party has a hard road to
hoe. Its pronunciamento is rarely
taken seriously. The public under
stands that it is bidding for notice,
and that in order to attract notice it
must bid high. The result is a bid
altogether too high-so very high it
is rejected at the polls, and the bid
ders, in sort of despair, return to
old allegiances, and try to be con-
tented, if not happy, ever afterward.

entered vigorous protest against this
decision, especially in view Of the fact
that the council Of ambassadors will
not meet again until September.
The French protest will probably be
effective. Unless the league of ma
lions or the council of ambassadors
or the group of premiers representing
the entente powers decides to block
ade Poland the port of Danzig must
be kept open. The excuse that trou-
BILE may ensue there incidental to the
landing of these supplies is no reason
for imposing such a blockade. That
trouble could be obviated by the dis
patch of Polish troops to maintain
order at Danzig.
Great encouragement is felt at War
saw from the fact that scouting behind
the bolshevik line has shown that the
red armies are travelling with little
care for communications and that each
unit is practically Gin the air." operat-
ing on an independent commissary and
likely at any time to be isolated. The
line itself, it is reported, is very thin,
the great Russian numbers being due
to the wide extension of the front.
1t is felt at Warsaw that if the Poles
can reorganize sufficiently to hold
their ground for a few days they can
then break the Russian front and
cause it to roll back in confusion. Op-
Grating so far from base, the Polish
observers now feel, the Russian armies
are in great danger of disaster. This
may be a fresh optimism incident to
the slight turn of the tide, but it is
significant of the spirit that pervades
Poland.

A Base Ball Fatality,

Base ball patrons the country over
are profoundly shocked by the death
in New York of Player Chapman of
the Cleveland team as a result of be-
ing hit in the head by a pitched ball.
This is the first fatality in major
league base ball. Players have been
fatally injured in minor league and
amateur games, but never before in
the higher class circuits. Considering
the tremendous speed with which
pitchers now deliver the ball to the
plate it is remarkable that more NOR
tally has not resulted. Base ball is
not essentially dangerous game,
though mishaps and injuries occur.
Taking into account the number of
plays made, the use of spikes on the
shoes, the rapidity Of the throws, it
is extraordinary that single game is
played without one or more serious
mishaps. Yet they are the exception.
Chapman's death is especially unfor-
tunate because of the fact that Mays,
the pitcher who threw the ball, has in
the past acquired sinister reputation
as seeking to brighten batsmen and
take their "nerve" by throwing fast
"inshoots" that they had to dodge
quickly. There is no reason now to
believe that that was his intention in
the present case. He has been ex-
onerated by the Cleveland manager
and by the public authorities in New
York. Still, he will undoubtedly suffer
in prestige and very likely in con-
science. The dead man was a. player
of sterling merit, high grade in his

nj
Wholly American.

Chairman Benson of the Shipping
Board points with pride and satlsfac-
ton to the fact that while sin l9l7
only 10 per cent of the men below
the grade of officer placed on shipping
board vessels were Americans, during
the past six months the average had
been 55.7 per cent
He then adds:
"The time has now come when our
American merchant marine should be
put on a peace footing and every eft
fort should be made to increase the
proportion of American citizens IN its
employment. 1t is not the intention
TO delay operations or to cripple YES
sells for lack of American crews, but it
is important that as fast as possible
all foreigners should be replaced by
Americans
This is the true note. The Ameri-
can merchant marine should be wholly
American, from the flag that flies over
all, to the men in the humblest service
on board. American capital has pro-
vided for the carrying of American
products in American bottoms to wher-
ever they have been or can be sold for
American profit. The enterprise
throughout should bear the American
stamp, and be under American direc-
ton.
A little slowly, maybe-it is big
thing, and we are unfamiliar with it
this sea carrying business of ours is
getting under way. And an encourag-
ing feature is that what We are doing
is attracting attention abroad. Our
competitors are on the alert. England
and Japan are taking notice, and from
Japan has come some criticism.
1t will be well to keep them on the
alert. And let US watch them as sharp
ly and closely as they watch us. They
know their interests, and will show
care for them. Let us show the
same care for our interests. The Il
valry is friendly, but rivalry none the
less; and in order to establish our
selves in this new field and do our
share of the business we must watch
all the corners with both eyes.

Police Bravery and Efficiency.

Washington police detectives are
scoring high these days. A short time
ago Detective Darnall by shrewd OBJ
servation captured a man who has
proved to be one of the worst offend
ers who has ever spread terror in this
region by his robberies and assaults,
and who now stands confessed of a
murder and several other crimes. Yes
terday Detective Scrivener made cap
ture of Importance in circumstances
that mark him as one of the bravest
and pluckiest men in police service
anywhere. He recognized the man as
an escaped prisoner of bad record and
repute, and he, with other policemen,
gave pursuit in chase that lasted for
over two miles. Though wounded Sc
verely, his weapon arm disabled by a
shot, Scrivener closed with the fugitive
when he turned and menaced the po-
hcemen with his gun, and overpowered
him in furious struggle. 1t was a
brave thing to do in any condition, and
it was especially so in the circum-
stances yesterday Scrivener had been
told by his chief that if he ever saw
this particular man never to come back
without him. He literally obeyed or
ders. His capture of the fugitive was
all in the line of the days work. 1t
is this spirit that makes the police
force of the District so trustworthy
and so efficient.
