The Reichsbank Reserves.

Demand is made by the allied rep
post at Coblenz or Cologne before May
i the gold reserve of the reichsbank
as a guarantee of good faith. This
gold reserve amounts to about LOO,
100000 marks. The allies. putting nc
faith in Germany's promises. having
no trust in unsecured notes. now de-
mand collateral. German officials are
quoted in the dispatches as declaring
that the demand is unacceptable to
Germany under any circumstances"
The usual chorus of indignation
arises from Berlin. The new move is
denounced as a violation of the treaty
on the ground that the reichsbank' s
resources are legally private property.
is subject to the demand OF the en-
tente. But. in fact, the reichsbank is
virtually government institution.
The demand may be couched in altern-
alive terms-the reichsbank's reserves
or an equivalent of German money or
accurately valued physical property.
No matter how much Berlin may
howl. or whine. or snarl, the truth
stands that up to date Germany has
failed to meet her obligations. 1t mat
tiers not that those obligations We're
forced upon her, that she signed the
Versailles treaty under stress, that
she accepted the peace terms only at
the point Of the sword, while a large
part of the world regretted that the
sword was not thrust home. The treaty
stands. Berlin alleges violations by the
allies. ignoring completely the fact
that those so-called violations have
been but legitimate moves in compul-
sion of performances, and that under
the treaty punitive and compulsory
measures are justified.
If Germany can be permitted to
evade any feature of the treaty by
claiming that the punitive and coercive
measures are in violation of the pact,
the whole procedure at Versailles falls
to the ground. The peace is nullifed.
The world will not forget the condi-
ton in which the treaty Of Versailles
was signed. The German delegates
were not admitted to the discussions,
had no part whatever in framing the
treaty and were introduced into the
so-called council chamber only to sign
on the dotted lines. No other course
was possible. 1t would have been
monstrous, an injustice to every in
habitant Of the allied countries, a
crime against all the innocent victims
OF the war to admit Germany to a
real part in the shaping of the terms
Of peace.
The only question today is how Ger
many can be made to pay, the means
necessary to compel her to yield Of her
substance to make good as far as pos.
sible to the damage she wrought in
the years of her criminal aggression.
II mistakes are made by the allies
they will be only as to the effective.
ness of the measures. not injustice to
Germany. In this present matter the
issue as to the nature Of the reichs.
bank reserves lies between that insti-
tuition and the German government.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Happiness.

Happiness.
A man once said he'd like to be
AS happy as king,
But now he finds his fancy Wee
Inclined to no such thing.
A king at present you may find
A most unlucky chap,
With all the populace inclined
To push him off the map.
He spoke Of birds that sang on high
And lambkins blithe and gay.
He talked about the butterfly
Upon summer day.
But birds. like lambkins, often meet
A gastronomic fate;
And moths retire to gloom complete
At no far distant date.
Thus. each comparison he tried
Proved hapless in the end.
The present hours Of thoughtless pride
Toward hours Of sorrow tend.
tbs useless to attempt to shirk
Dame Natures simple plan.
Il guess said he, "Ill go to work
And try to be-a man.

Here are a few interviews I've
had lately with famous fighters.
that show how the man IN the ring
thinks.
: --~'-e f"'kinIr about Demp-
sey and other champions said:
n,tuTal knack
Of fehting to become a real cham
pion. The only champion l ever
knew who was taught fighting in
, gymnasium was Jim Corbett. He
wasn't 4 natural fighter. and it
showed in his record. After win
ming the title from Sullivan he
never did any fighting worth men,
tioning and was beaten by several
men.
Even when was a boy and
trained with him at Carson when he
fought Fitzsimmons, he ran away
from my punches. When we fought
afterward at Coney Island some Of
the writers around the ringside told
how Corbett had me cut to ribbons.
That was a joke. There wasn't a
mark on me. He didn't hit me a
solid punch.
"AIl he did was dance around and
step in and tap, and even while he
was tapping he was jumping away.
so there wasn't any more than the
slap of, the glove in his blows. The
reason the fight went twenty-three
rounds before l knocked him out
was that didn't take the fight
seriously, and didn't train much.
IT chased Corbett for a few rounds
and got winded trying to catch him.
7 eased up and rested and went
after him again in the twenty-third
and knocked him out. Next time
we fought he didn't run so fast and
it would have been easy to knock
him out in a couple of rounds.
81 let him stay to the tenth round
to tease FitZ, who was in my
corner.S l had knocked Fitz out in
eight rounds. and he was anxious to
have me knock Corbett out quicker.
He was in a rage because I let Cor
bett stay longer than he did. had
a lot of fun kidding him. Corbett
wasn't dangerous. He couldn't hit
hard enough to hurt anybody, be-
cause he was a gymnasium boxer
and not a real fighter.
"One Of the real fighters met
was Joe Choynski. / fought Joe in
one of my first fights. Joe was only
a little fellow OF about 165 pounds,
but he could fight. ran him
against the ropes, and he bounced
back and. swung a right on my
mouth and drove my upper lip so
far between my teeth that my
seconds had to, cut II away with a
knife, between rounds.
Another real fighter who always
gave me lot of trouble, although
he was much smaller, was Tom
Sha-key. Tom was tough and game
and fast. and always trying. and
you couldn't fool with him.
From Dempsey's looks and his
record it's easy to SCI he's a born
fighter. tn, have to be a mighty
good man who can lick him. and
when his time comes. he'll sure go
down flght--G."

Tom Sharkey and Kid Mccoy
boxed at a benefit recently on the
Coast. After the bout. in which Nc
Coy kept his long left in Toms face
and hit Tom on top of the head
while Sharkey floundered around in
an imitation of his old time rush,
Tom said:
Three months of training and I
could como back and lick a lot OF
them dubs that get the big money.
I've got mind to try it."
Mccoy said:
Come back? Why, the last time
I thought I could come back was
when fought Jack (Twin) Sullivan
in Los Angeles, in 1904. It took me
twenty rounds to beat him. and then
I knew I was through. I fought
a few more fights and won some of
them with quick knockouts, but I
knew that I'd gone past my best
time and I'd never come back. I
was pretty good among ordinary
fighters. but never to figure among
the top butchers again the way I
used to.
I'm healthy and strong now. but
that doesn't mean I ought to think
could fight Dempsey. Youth is
everything TO a fighter. When
that's gone-the fine edge of perfect
condition-he's through with the
ring. Youth is something no train
ing in he world can bring back. 1t
isn't enough to be good, in the ring.
You have to be at your best"
Sharkey spoke the mind of the
fighter who never knew anything
but the instinct to fight. McCoy's
experience has been wide enough to
make him a philosopher.

After perusing the list Of grid
iron battles soon to get under way.
one is forced to recognize the fact
that times do change.
Remember when the public eager
ly awaited the outcome Of the Big
Three games and bowed before the
winning team as undisputed foot
ball champions of the universe?
That was when the East confined
its efforts to its own section. and
the West and South did the same.
With the growth Of International
football OF later years. however,
the situation has been changed.
1t means something today to be
able to lay claim, to championship
laurels.
. The development of intersectional
football has been surprisingly
rapid and the coming season Is go
ing to see 1t reach a height OF in
terest never before attained
Three Big Clashes Scheduled.
There are three outstanding bat
ties upon which the eyes of the
nation will be focused during the
fall. One OF them is the clash be-
tween the West and East, when
Chicago's crimson clad warriors
journey to Princeton to meet the
Tigers on October 20.
The other two thrillers will be
furnished when Southern teams
journey into the East On October
20 the Fighting Colonies" from
Center College, Danville. Ky. will
again clash with Harvard at Cam
bridge. The Kentuckians are re-
puted to have brighter prospects
than ever before and with "Bo'
Mcmillan returning to handle the
team, are hoping for revenge
On the Saturday following the
Harvard Center game, Georgia Tech,
the Golden Tornado" OF Atlanta,
will play Penn State at the Polo
Grounds in New York. Unable to
secure another game with Pitts
burgh, the men Of Tech picked
out the next hardest opponent and
will be riskinE their kale at even
money that victory rests with them
at the end.
Tese three games are going TO
rival the historic battles between
Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, with
years of tradition behind them.
There are flock OF other big
intersectional tussels which should
