Prizefighting and Relatively

AS the great prizefight approaches,
Mr.. Dempsey's peace record during
the war is being disclosed, not SO
much by anything written about it
as by the publication of what Mr.,
Carpenter did at the front. Thus
we see that continuous silence about
any individual may in itself be a
matter Of news when it is brought
into contrast with the activities of
another. All things are relative, as
Professor Einstein has so sapiently
remarked.
We must pause, however, before
we assume that the brutal indiffer-
ence to the feelings of Mr.. Dempsey
Of some Of our more indiscreet sport
ing writer's is impolite, or even un-
patriotic. Prizefghting is one thing
patriotism another. That man is an
animal has long been a matter of
information and belief. That he is
something more than an animal, con-
trolled by highly organized brain,
capable of attaining great skill in
directing the movements of the body
toward a public end, is not always
so plain.
When Mr.. Carpenter steps into
the arena, and the "Marseillaise" is
played, it is probable that many of
the spectators will experience that
thrill that comes from the recogni-
tion of something enveloping him
that is invisible---the spirit Of France.
But this will have no effect upon
the material result Of the fight.
Moral courage and spiritual gifts
are permanent attributes of the soul,
while coordination of mind and body,
highly interesting and important as
spectacles Of animal perfection, are
yet strictly transient.

Mexico S Grab Law
Repeated Protests Made Against
ATTEMPTED Conhscation

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In his letter in The Tribune Of
June 10 Robert H. Murray, writing on
the subject of Mexico, says: sit is not
true that the Mexican constitution has
been interpreted by the Obregon, or any
tioning the confscation of properties of
foreigners in Mexico without compen-
sation."
The repeated protests of the United
States government against attempted
oontiscAtion Of American property are
sufficient answer to that statement. In
addition, there is the protest of the Brit
ish government, dated April so, 1915,
signed "H. A. Cummings" There is the
French protest, dated May 13, 1918,
signed "F. Dejean."
1t is true that President Wilson rec
cgnized Carranza only after receivinp
his solemn promise that his constitu-
tion would not be applied in confsca-
tory manner. Mr.. Murray states that
we recognized the Carranza government
in 1915. That was simply de- facto rec
ognition. Subsequent to that the Car
ranza constitution was drafted, while
an American representative personally
conveyed the various protests and OBJ
jections Of this government.
Finally, the solemn promise was made
that these articles which so plainly
threatened confiscation would not be
interpreted in q conhscatory manner,
and on that promise final de jure recog-
milton was accorded. Immediately aft
erward Carranza began to interpret
the constitution by outrageously arbi-
trary confiscatory DEGREES. None of
these DEGREES has been abrogated since
Obregon became President.

Wasted Soldier Funds

Just another indication of the in
efficiency of the method Of farming
out the care of war sufferers is
shown in the disclosure concerning
the Manhattan State Hospital.
With thousands of disabled soldiers
unable to obtain any sort Of hospital
care OF financial assistance, here was
one state hospital receiving from the
Federal government twice as much
money as it was spending on the in
sane veterans committed to it.
The reason is simple enough, al
though none the less reprehensible.
The Manhattan State Hospital, es-
tablished for the care of charity
patients, is necessarily administered
on the most economical basis. To be
economical administration must be
uniform; consequently budget
based on the states allowance of a
dollar a day for each patient must
be made to apply to all alike. 1t
would involve good deal of book
keeping and shifting Of care and
equipment to expend to their advan-
tage the extra dollar allotted to each
Of the two hundred Federal pa
tients. The simpler way was not
to make the attempt.
But here are two hundred wards Of
the government, suffering from the
saddest Of all war Affections through
no possible fault of their own, who
ought to be receiving the best care
that the country Affords treated in
discriminatory as charity patients
among throng of $500 hopelessly
insane people.
AS the American Legion commit
tee discovered, Manhattan State
Hospital is not equipped to deal with
cases resulting from war causes.
These patients need special attention
to restore them to reason, their trou-
bic being in great part temporary,
provided prompt and careful treat
ment is administered. Permanent
insanity need not necessarily be the
lot of all of them. That they should
have been thrown on already over
crowded state institutions entirely
untitled for the business Of rehabili-
tating them is inexcusable. 1t
should have been regarded not only
as duty but privilege for the
Federal government personally and
independently to undertake the care
and treatment Of the returned SOL
dier sick in mind or body.

Before Columbus
Unknown 'Discoverers' = of America:
1892 the Big Date
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The correspondence evoked by
your recent editorial on the subject OF
the first white visitor to the North
River, leading to the larger consid-
Grafton of the original discoverer Of
America, calls for a word of caution.
Students of history must go softly in
these trying days of varying allegiance
in shaking faith in traditional heroes.
Most historians Of to-day accept the
visit to America of Left Ericsson, son
of that intrepid Eric the Red who fcst
settled Greenland, but at the same
time they acknowledge Christopher
Columbus as the real discoverer of
the Western Hemisphere. The Morse
men, for very pardonable reasons, never
followed up their discovery with per-
manent settlement, whereas the visit
of Columbus, made at time when the
mariners compass and gunpowder had
provided the chief aids to discovery
and conquest, led definitely to the in
PRODUCTION OF European civilization
isto the New World.
In Volume I of the very newest cole
lection of American history, The Chron-
icles of America, Ellsworth Hunting
ton discusses unidentified discover
ers" of prehistoric America. Granting
the visit of Left, even lie was antedated
by some thousands of years perhaps,
as Mr.. Huntington notes, by some mar
iner belonging to one of the peoples
of the eastern Mediterranean, blown
to the shores of America by the steady
trade winds. III this case the chief evi-
dence is a striking similarity of archi-
lecture and almost an identity of signs
of the zodiac used in pref Columbian
America and in Mediterranean lands.
AS to the statement of Truth" that
Columbus "never placed foot on our
America" this is not strictly true. He
did not visit the coast of what has be-
come the modern United States, but on
his fourth voyage he did visit the coast
of Central America from Cariari, IN
Nicaragua, to the site of Puerto Bello,
in Panama, "hearing," in the words Of
another authority, Irving Berdine Rich
man, in Volume II of The Chronicles Of
America, "of pepper and cf peoples in
rich clothing of commerce and Of the
River Ganges.'" 1t is only fair to
state that to the day of his death COlum-
bus was unaware that he had discov-
cred anything but the eastern coast OF
Asia, but the fact remains that the his
tory of modern civilization in America
begins at October 12, 1892.

Conrad must have known profound
ly the JOY (and the perplexity) of ex-

writing even that book, though it
bored me.
Even those earlier men, who were as
commercial as the most depraved of
us to-day, had their fun. I'm sure
Balzac sneaking from apartment to
apartment to avoid those monstrous
creditors, finally picturing himself as
business man among men, must have
enjoyed some of his work. He really
must. Shakespeare, putting on his
three plays year at the old Globe,
quarreling with those Unsuitable
actors, throwing in vulgarity and dirt
to make the pit howl with ribald glee,
and, finally, thriftily sailing down his
hard-earned profits in Stratford real
estate-Im sure, as read him, that
at times he wrote for the fun of 1t.
"Dickens grinding it out serially to
keep those weekly parts up with the
greedy presses-he must have enjoyed
some of it. Scott, from day to day
scaling down that big debt, had his
moments, surely. And it is difficult
to escape feeling of sympathetic in
terest in Dumas pere as he cheerfully
signs contracts to write and deliver
forty novels in one year. He had his

"The plain truth appears to be that
your real writer is going to write,
whether you like it or don't; not wait
for subject and not stop when his
literal memoirs are exhausted; but
write on and on, even, In a pinch,
using his Imagination. The poor fell
low can't help it. Even if he should
be paid well for it and thrust into
those dreadful magazines; even if he
should be advertised as best seller
and find himself looked down upon by
every young imagist in New York and
Chicago, he'll have to 60 on. For it's
the only fun he knows.

Gerrany's Flag

Now and then there are signs of
regeneration in Germany that stir
up friendly interest in Americans.
But "now and then" does not cover
the more numerous periods when
the old wooden headed, wooden
skinned Hohenzollernism shows that
it still is the "spirit" Of the
Fatherland.
Some months ago the Reichstag
decided upon changes in the Ger
man national colors. Three hori-
zontal stripes of black, red and
golden yellow were to supersede the
black, white and red. This was to
signalize the change in the form
and intentions of the government
to be an outward symbol of a new
and decent Germany. President
Ebert signed the regulations and
they were to 60 into effect
July l, with a period Of grace
until January 1, 1922.
But great and formidable move
ment has arisen in the Fatherland
to preserve the old red, white and
black! The Deutschland -uber-A Allies,
sink-without-trace element is, of
course, In this movement. That was
to be expected. But the very men
who should be first to condemn the
old shame-befouled banner are pro-
testing. , The Senates Of the three
Ransa cities have asked the Reichs-
tag to recall it's action, arguing
that the shipping business will suf-
fer if the old familiar flag is altered.
And one concession has already
been made to the 400 per cent pa
triots," causing them to redouble
their campaign. The merchant flag
was changed back to the red, white
and black, with the addition of a
black, red and yellow square in the
upper inside corner. The moral sta
bility Of Germany is still weak. If
German sailors do not reject the
red, white and black, which says it
is rightful to sink on sight, what
hope can there be of decency in the
whole people?

most powerful educational agencies in

criticism down upon them when thew

Why do not the movies exhibit films
showing exactly how and why the
house fly is a dangerous enemy to
health and exactly how, the fly can be
destroyed? The lesson that such pic
lures would give would go far toward
counterbalancing the criticism of pic-
lures of more frivolous and less use

"Vulgar" Shakespeare

Mr.. Norman Wilkinson, one Of the
governors of the Shakespeare Me-
mortal Theater at Stratford-on-
Avon, is no coward. Having had oc-
casion to defend his action in turn
ing over this sacred place for the use
of films, he declares that in many
cases films are better than Shake
speare. 81 have seen," he writes
performances of THE Tanning of
the Shrew,' The Merry Wives of
Windsor and others Of Shake
speare's plays that would make a
Charlie Chaplin film seem innocent
and heautiful-which it is."
Conservative England is naturally
shocked. To Mr.. Wilkinson's defiant
statement that if it is question of
vulgarity II must only say Read
Shakespeare" The Manchester
Guardian replies that zone hopes the
advice will be followed-he bears
reading"
Vulgarity, after all, is largely a
matter of form. Nature itself, ac-
cording to Mr. Wilkinson, is essen
TALLY and eternally vulgar, and if
one followed his formula it would
scarcely be safe to take walk in the
country. To such a mind as his it
would be quite impossible to make it
clear why the Shakespeare Memorial
Theater should have been preserved
as q memorial to the name of the
worlds greatest poet rather than to
the present-day silent antics of a
Charlie Chaplin-as good as he is.
At the first sign of Mr.. Wilkin-
sons disorder he should have been
bound and gagged and deported to
the Island of Yap.
