SAMOA IN THE NEWS AGAIN

IGNORED for the most part by the ma
iority of Americans, our distant Is
land possessions now and then remind
"a Of their existence by getting into
the new of the day. Not long since
the picturesque tale of the capture OF
Guam was recalled by the edict OF the
American Governor against whistling.
Ruled by benevolent despot, the mt
tie island is fortunate in these days
IN having no history. From Tutufla
and Manua, the two Samoan Islands
administered, like Guam, by the Navy
Department, now comes a report
breaking long silence. The beneVo-
lent despot has become unpopular ana
the natives have been stonlng MS
house. So court of inquiry under
Admiral Hughes will presently be
convened there.
z Yet Samoa was. in every mouth just
over twenty years ago. Three Pow
ers. the United. States. Great Britain
and Germany, had interests in the IS
lands. The Germans, after their custo
mary fashion, began to make trcuole.
There was civil war among the lsland
.ers. in which we were nearly involved.
The settlement of 1889 had guaraE-
teed the independence and neutrality
OF Samoa, and court to protect fore
igners, presided over by an American
was instituted. None the less there
was, another war ten years later,
fomented by the Germans, between
rival kings. Germany backed one
Great Britain and the United States
the other; the villages around Apla,
held by the German favorite with
German help, were bonrbarded by
American and British ships. Only the
terrible typhoon which destroyed the
fleets averted what might have been
an outbreak Of war among the Powers
themselves.
It was at this time that the real dis
position of Germany toward the
United States was revealed. People
forget easily; and when the Kaiser
was cultivating American friendship
and sending his brother over to seal
the bond. the antagonism aroused, not
only by German action at Samoa, but
also by German intrigue during the
Spanish War, was largely a!layed.
The SANDMAN Islands were divided
between Germany and United States
in 1899, giving each country an i'm
portant foothold in the Pacific, which
Germany has since lost. 1t has been
supposed that the American govern
ed Samoans were contented with their
lot. But some one seems to have fail
ed in tact in dealing with them. Thus
Samoa comes into the news again.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN
PASSING.

A traveller who was asked
whether he had found the cities
he visited very different, replied
that they were all pretty much
alike excepting for the uniforms
of their policemen. A similar
characterization may be made of
the Jewish aspect of the average
American city for they are much
alike. There is the same pride
shown in local institutions, and
the same struggle on the part of
the management to make both
ends meet. There is the same in
difference of SO many of the COM
munity, which is fortunately off
set by the same overpowering
zeal of a few enthusiasts, who ca
jo1e, trick or threaten the COM
munity into doing its duty.
In general, though, it is pleas
ing to see that Jewish commune
ties are beginning to take their
duties more seriously. Money is
more readily spent for Jewish
causes whether synagogue,
school or institution. There is
more thought given to the future,
and to the young generation; the
old while not abating their own
favorite expression of Judaism
are less content to be Indifferent
to the needs of others. The same
seems to be the case with the
communities in Canada. There is
no longer the complacent "laissez
faire" attitude, but rather the
realization that if we want to have
viri1e Jewish life on this CONT
nent it cannot be left to mere
chance; that the type of Jewish
life worth having is worth work
ing for. Such healthy discon-
tent will mean much for strength
'ened Jewish consciousness and
for greater Jewish achievement.
Our needs in this direction can
not be over-estimated.

Three andTwo

Sid Mercer who writes sporting
gossip for the New York Globe, says
that the reason the Gtapts win have
good team next summer is the fact
that the Cincinnati scribes all say
that the New Workers have no chance
a: all in the coming race for the flag.
Mercer says that baseball writers in
Redfand never did make a good pre-
dlotton, even failing to predict a pen
nant for the Reds last season. The
story that evoked the apolaus from
the New York writer Is the following
effort from the pen of Jack Ryder,
veteran Redland scribe:
eat the present time McGraw's
team does not appear to be the tough
est aggregation the Reds will have to
beat this season. The Giants are pref
ty well shot to pieces. They could not
deliver last season, in spite OF the
large expenditure INDUCED in by Nc
Graw. Now they do not look nearly
as strong as they did a year ago.
OF the seven regular players on
the New York team only two are alb
solutely certain of their positions ana
they are the only real stars on the
club. They are the two great out.
fiefders-George Burns and Ross
Young.
Burns is a veteran Of many sea-
sons, but he is today the best left
fielder in the league and one Of the
best men in the batting order. AS
lead-off man on team he is unex-
celed, for he is 4 300 hitter, very
good waiter against wild pitching, and
the leading base runner On the league.
Although he has been playing for
many years, he shows no signs of
slowing up and can probably go
through at least one more season at
top speed.
"In right field is Ross Young, who
made good for MeGraw in single
season. This lad is an aggressive
player of the winning type. He covers
plenty of ground and throws accur-
ately. He is powerful hitter, leading
the Giants last year with the fine
average Of .311. He finished one
point ahead of Heiny Groh and was
surpassed only by Roush and Horns
by.
The two positions OF right and left
'ields are the only ones surely fixed
en- the Giants. There was quite a bit
of talk last season of McGraw being
sore at Benny Knuff, who batted
.227. Even though Benny did not
shine so brightly as the men on either
aide Of him last season, his place will
be hard to fill and he may be found
out there again this year.
But McGraw faces the task OF de
veloping an entirely new infield. He
has already offered Chase and Doyle
in a trade. and 1t is believed that the
days OF both as big leaguers are num-
bered. Larry Doyle is through and
thus passes great player and won
derful hitter. Zimmerman is also
through. The only infielder likely to
stick Is Arthur Fletcher. who has

fietcher is slowing up, but he has
something left and will probably be

for the new infield which McGraw
must 2erforce put in action.

peetations. Toney and Benton are

NORMAL TEAM
DEFEATED BY
KEYSER FIVE
Visitors Too Fast and Too.
Heavy for sandy's
Artists.

e. oil
"Spooks" Lyle, Just as peevish as
ever, and his band OF Keyserite bas-
ketball tossers, blew into town yes
terday, blew the Normal school lads
to the worst licking they have had
this season and blew out of town this
morning for Grafton. 1t was a case Of
blewie, blewie on all sides. Before
we forget, we must tell you that the
score of the contest last night was,
Keyser Al, and the Normal 26. Now
that sounds rather bad, but It could
have been worse Take for instance
If the pupils of Sandy Toothman had
not made single basket either from
field or foul line and the visitors had
made lbs points in all. But among
those present it was the general opin-
ion that the score was bad enough and
there was no desire to make matters
any worse.
1t should be understood, however, in
the opening sentence OF this paragraph
that we are not complaining about the
showing made by the Normal team
last night. The boys were through a
mighty hard battle on Saturday and
were up against band of profession
ais last night who play together all
the time, four and five games week
all season. 1t was too much to ex-
pect that they would beat Keyser, and
all things considered the score was
not much higher than was to be ex-
pected. The locals played good, hard
ball all the way, but could not buck
up against the superior team work
and weight Of the gang "Spooks"
Lyle brought to town.
Sandy tried out new man at cen
ter last night, Shuman, and playing
against fellow about as tall as the
Washington Monument, Hoyt, by name,
Shuman made very good impression.
Toward the end of the game the
visitors INDUCED in the old "stallp of
passing the ball from one to another
without making any effort to advance
the ball. This cheap trick gained
theE no friends in this section.
