FINE "GRIDlRON'' AT COBLENZ
American Soldiers Stationed There
Have Facilities for Almost
n Every Kind Of Sport

Elaborate preparations were made at
Coblenz. Germany, for the football sea-
son. Grounds and stadiums which were
only partly finished a year ago have
been made permanent playing fields,
and many Of them compare favOrably
with the best college gridirons In the
United States.
The most deliberately finished ground
Is in Cobenz, known as carnival Is
land" 1t was on this ground that the
Third army championships were de-
cided last season. but the ground at
that time was not in as good con-
dition MS it is today. Neither were
there proper facilities, such as dress
ing rooms.
At this island there are now two reg
ular baseball fields, two football fields,
golf course of nine holes. polo
ground, a quarter-mile cinder track,
with 220 yard stlnightaway, and out
door basketball courts. On another
part is a ring for horse shows and nine
tennis courts.
Suitable bleachers to accommodate
5000 spectators have been built, and
there also are a large number of prop
erly equipped dressing rooms with
showers, rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at CObenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers, but
at Andernach, Montabaur, and Neu-
wied the old grounds left by tile a. z.

TRADITIONS 1000
YEARS OLD UPSET
Ancient City Of Pressburg
Changes Character With
Coming of New Rulers.
RESULT OF PEACE Farley
Resentment Shown Over the Employ
ment Of Czeehs in Government Po-
sitions Formerly Occupied by Hun
oarians-Many Are Expelled.

Bradshaw, SlOyakia.--1t is only on
Czechoslovakian maps that this an
cient Hungarian city Of Pressburg can
be located by it's new name. Ruled by
Hungary for a thousand years, 1t
passed under the control of the new
Czechoslovakian republic by the decls-
ion of the peace conference, and a
large part of it's inhabitants do not
take kindly to the new order of things.
It's people are dominantly Germanic
or Hungarian.
The street signs are in German and
Hungarian characters, and now to them
is being added Czech. The old postal
and telephone employees have been re-
placed by Czechs and Czech high Of
ficers installed in the government.
Slova|i regiments on duty here have
been replaced by purely Czech soldiers.
In a city as old and conservative and
routine as this, drifting through the
centuries undisturbed in it's social Gus
toms, these things have made feeling
run rather high in certain social strata.
UOIy ~bS SAPOtSSSs
Persons, regardless of sex, who have
not acquired legal residence are being
expelled. One man who told the Asso-
ciated Press he had lived and done
business here for forty years was ex-
PEELED few days ago. The list Of
those cited for expulsion is said to con-
tain names of dead persons.
Some Hungarians do not hesitate to
ploy,nent OF Czechs in government po-
sitions here formerly occupied by the
HungarianS. Czechs and many SlO-
vaks Of the educated classes who hold
Office under the government say this
feeling is due to Hungarian and Ger
man propaganda, and has no real
strength or extent. Also they admit
the necessity of Czech ofticialdom, as
SlOvakia has little or no educated class
from which to draw executives of abil-
ity.
Hard to Upset Tradition.
1t is hard to upset rudely the tradi-
tons of ten centuries, and talks with
many persons, both in official and I'M
official circles, would Indicate that the
antagonism displayed toward the
Czechs is a natural condition Of this
period Of transition and is not deeply
rooted. Probably it is stronger here
in Pressburg than in the other parts
of SlOvakia, where the change is not
SO apparent.
The school question plays q very
prominent part in the situation here.
The government has abolished the Ger
man and Hungarian languages in the
schools, and this means a general oust-
ing of teachers and reaction in house
holds,

PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT COMING.

announcements are out that the hnal de-
nouement Of the -profteering campaign of
the department of justice is TO take place In
about thirty days. Presumably drop in prices
is to follow. Mr.. Palmer has beguiled the pub
lic with frequent promises of price reductions
and punishment OF profteers for some months,
but it is now apparent that he has been only
laying the stage for grand performance, the
curtain on which viii be raised at the psyche
logical moment in his presidential campaign.
In view of the past record of the attorney gen
erals Office the public is entitled to some mis-
givings as to the practical benefit to them of
the anticipated raid, but they may be sure that
the country will be treated to "dragnet' by
the side of which the spectacular roundup OF
.sreds' will fade into insignifcance. What
will happen to the profteers after they have
been arrested is a matter of conjecture, but it
il safe to say that their lives will be made suf-
fciently miserable until after the convention to
carry the proper impression to the people. In
S.Ee meantime let us remember that, although
fnr. Palmer has arrested some one thousand,
f,wo hundred profteers mp to date, only about
twenty-five have been sent to jail.

The Vice Of Scandalous Gossip

our real or supposed actions by
persons who know very little
about us; but who gratify their
vanity or their spite by believing
the worst that can be said about
us. A friend, who wishes to save
us from ourselves, will warn or
rebuke US in private, but will be
our unfliEohing champion in pub
lie. | know that my friend
whether this friend be man or
understands me better
than all the rest of the world and
will look to my intentions and not
to my errors
And why, after all, should we
bitterly resent the contemplate
babblers who strive 10 snatter
our characters? A little reflec-
ton will show that no amount OF
defamation can really fnJure any
body's character. Your character
is what you are, what your whole
life, your thoughts ana your
deeds have made you. Your repu-
tation is. another thing. 1t may
be soiled by the filth OF SANDER.
But your character survives all
pollution unless you nurt It Dy
your own acts.
Nobody has been appointed by
society a spy on the sins or
others. Society itself is not a
court of competent Jurisdiction.
1t is nothing more than num-
Der OF individuals VINO set up
certain conventions. and expect
everybody to obey them.
What society values is not vir-
tue but the appearance of virtue,
and what the social spy investi-
gates is whether appearances are
for or against US. But truth is
the important thing not the ex-
ternals which may utterly mis-
lead people as to the truth. The
philosophic pagans esteemed pub
lie opinion more than the chris
tian does.
Nevertheless, the moral crime
of spreading scandal ought to be
punished. One effective way OF
furnishing it would be to ostra-
cize the perpetrators of sucn
offenses. Decent people should
refuse to associate with them and
they should be relegated to the
companionship Of persons OF their
own class. II all propagators OF
calumny were banished from SO
ciety, then there might be hope
of purifying and elevatIng THAI
exceedingly artificial conglomera-
ton of human shame.

CULTIVATING LAWLEssNEss.

The series of railroad strikes from which the
country is now suffering is the natural out
growth and consequence of the attitude Of the
administration towards the four railroad
brotherhoods in 1916, when the country was
threatened with complete tieup of railroad
transportation unless certain wage demands
were granted within specified time. When
the leaders Of the railroad unions submitted
their demands with a threat of destruction to
the country unless those demands were granted
the act was little short of treason and from
every viewpoint was defiance of law and order
The railroad bretherhoods challenged the SOW
rreignty of the government, and the adnlinistra
ton, then in control not only Of the executive
but of the legislative branch Of the govern
ment, surrendered.
With that example before them, other rail
road unions have sought to enforce their de-
mands by resort to strike with endless injury
to industry and incaculable suffering to the
people of the country if the strike shall be long
continued. Surrender of the government
through the enactment of the infamous Adam
son law is a standing invitation to any and all
