U. s. AND BRITAIN

Judge Parker Tells Bar ASSOCia-
 tiOn Protection Is Vital

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 7.-Former Judge Alton B. Parker, once demo- cratic candidate for the presidency, urged the Canadian Bar association today to again take up with mem- bers of the American bar the effort toward closer relations between Great Britain and the United States
 He recalled that just before the be- ginning of the world war Canadians and Americans held a meeting on Mackinaw Island to plan for the cele- bration of the Tooth anniversary of the Treaty of Ghent and the century of peace between Great Britain and America which followed. This pla was abandoner because of the war; but circumstances which had hap pened since, he said, had demon- strated to men not blinded by preju- dice that it was then, is now and ever will be wise for Great Britain and the United States to stand to- gether for the peace of the whole world, if they can influence it and if they cannot. then for their joint protection.
 Mir Parker said that the fact had been demonstrated that men of good will can live in peace although

 The speaker reviewed the common effort of Great Britain and the United States in the war and declared that:
 Tt is our duty now to bind these two great nations together so firmly by cords of affection and esteem that never again will il happen that either nation will fail the other when that other is now right and seeks to keep the peace.
 The Irish question:" he said, "so long as it remains unsettled will create some measure of irritation It always has and it always will. We can hope and pray that Great Britain will succeed in her effort to get North and South Ireland to work together for the peace of the world and the good of humanity. It will not do to charge against an entire people the irritating faults of a small percentage"

Editorial

Youth win be served, is heard
on all sides Consider Zbyszko,
forty-five years old, who threw
Lewis and won the wrestling
title. Read what w. ]. Macbeth
says:
Stanislaus Zbyszko is heavy
weight champion Of the world.
At the age of forty-five he threw
Ed ("Strangler") Lewis, one of
the best catch-as-catch-can artists
produced in America.
Zbyszko's triumph holds many
lessons for the young man ath-
letically inclined. During the war
he was in a Russian prison camp
for three years. He came out Of
the camp almost emaciated, and
made such use Of his appetite
as to acquire a surplus of more
than a hundred pounds. He was
hog fat when he came here less
than a year ago. But though a
comparatively old man then, he
set out to acquire the champion
ship of the world, in which am
bition Frank Gotch had thwarted
him almost ten years before
the only match Zbyszko ever lost
in his life, by the way.
The triumph of the mighty
Pole is a testimonial to clean
living. Stanislaus Zbyszko never
dissipated In any form in his
life. Today he is a giant in every
sense OF the word, but most of
all in stamina and endurance.
This won for him a title at an
age when most professional ath-
letes are looking for the old folks
