Almost Rooseveltian.

The promptness with which Mr..
Hughes acted in the Costa Rica-
Panama difficulty has something OF a
Roose veltian character. The call on
them to halt and to adjust their diff
ferences has d peremptory sound. but
it has merit of stopping in it's in
cipiency minor international trou-
BILE that might breed more serious
mischiefs. Our justification or excuse
for such imperative interposition is
the Panama canal and the moral obli-
cation to Panama which we assumed
when she became independent.
Secretary of State Hughes does not
undertake to pass on the merits of
the controversy between Costa Rica
and Panama He simply insists there
must be peaceful solution. He is
not asserting the Monroe doctrine; he
is rather applying d principle of the
league of nations. 1t is a little curl

the covenant which the Senate re-
jected has so soon been adopted by
ourselves as an aid in preserving the
peace. 1t is being done primarily in
our own interests, but it is big

Possibly the promptness with which
Mr.. Hughes has acted may be intended
indirectly to prevent Intervention by

tice that this is our business In any
event. we have real interests in that
region which we are bound to pro-
tect. and there is a red-blooded

JACKS OPTIC
INJURED; PUT
GLOVES ASIDE
Cannot Spar for Four
or FiUe Days, Re-
port.

Atlantic City, N. j., June g.
Boxing gloves were laid on the
shelf in Jack Dempsey's training
camp today because of the ugly
cash over the champions left eye,
which was opened yesterday in a
windup Of the hardest days work
he has INDUCED in since training
was started here three weeks ago.
The halt in boxing was ordered by
Jack Kearns, manager of the
champion, on the advice of a ply
stefan, who took a stitch to close
the wound last night.
Dempsey probably will not be al
lowed to put on the gloves for four
or five days. but he will continue
his road work, bag punching, shad-
ow boxing and other training
routine.
Kearns does not want to risk the
danger of serious injury to Demp-
sey's damaged eye.
The cut was first opened 10 days
ago when Dempsey's head collided
with Jack Renault's, his sparring
partner, during mixup. 1t was
healing nicely but was ripped open
yesterday when Larry williams, in
awkwardly attempting to evade a
right-hand punch, butted the cham
pion.
Previous to the injury, which oc-
CURED in the fifth round Of q g.
round workout, Dempsey had set q
terrific pace for his sparring part
ners.
Dempsey's left arm is under the
care Of DR.. Phillip Hanley of Chi
cago. A nerve in the arm caused
the champion to experience a
slight numbness during his work
outs. but it is rapidly responding
to treatment.
Martin Burke, the New Orleans
heavyweight, after boxing two
rounds yesterday. says the cham.
pion had improved 100 per cent in
boxing since they boxed together
during a theatrical tour Burke
made with Dempsey before he won
the title.
