The Sports Entente.

DESPITE the fact that so far as is known the
L idiomatic phrase "fair play cannot be trans
lated into German, the crstwhile Huns and present
industrial beavers Of Europe have gained a good
opinion OF and much athletic inspiration from our
soldiers constituting the army Of occupation.
Not only in Germany, but throughout the civ
ized world, American supremacy in outdoor sports
has advanced the nations prestige, the New
York Herald declares in remarking the elevation
OF Elwood S. Brown, secretary OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, to the post Of
organizer for regional sports all the globe
this by the Olympic games goard
While the Olympic games thus iar have failed
to reach 80 per cent OF the worlds peoples says
the Herald Interest i'll them is growing, is
shown by the fact that President lrigoycn OF Ar
gcntina is at the head of strong movement in
that country to induce the board to select it as
the scene of the next meet.
"Mr. Brown has already done much for intcrna
tional sport. His ambition is to bring to the
tests representatives OF nations which have not
taken part in the competition.
WANT Of common understanding OF sports has
made considerable hard feeling between peoples.
tt d recent conference OF several hundred German
athletic instructors American used the words
fair play But his translator could find cqu-
valent for it in German Putting fair play into all
languages is an essential part Of the movement to
standardize world sports.
Reports OF American organizations active i'll
this work show that much progress has been made
abroad. Frenchmen and Belgians learned track
sports and football from the Britons and Ameri-
cans. The French have adopted national phys
ical training legislation American model.
The national gymnastic school at Rheims is being
rebuilt, and every French town devastated in the
war will have an athletic field when rehabilta
ton is accomplished.
THE Rumanian government called i'll an
American adviser when its national physical train
ing law was being drafted. This law provides that
conscripts who pass prescribed athletic tests
may be released from a year of military service.
This system will free than 100000 men for
productive work.
Central Europe looks to America for leader
ship in sports The American army of occupation
has set the pace. The long distance run is displac
ing the goose step. o..
Americans have put sports the map in the
Far East. They organized the Far Eastern games
international competition held every two years
with teams from China, Japan and the Philippines
meeting rivals. In Mr.. Browns words the
Chinese government could order native ntellectuals
to cut off their finger nas--a symbol of disdain
for physical cxerton-but they only learned the
OF their when Americans came and taught
them volley ball"

be hard for Senator Walsh to pur-
suade all of US to stop wreckinG our
young lives" by participating in the
government Of our country.
am reminded by his argument that
France only several centuries ago
was ruled by a hereditary king who
was ably assisted by cardinals and
lesser officials IN operating the gov
ernment. II so worked out under that
system that the king owned all the
property that the church did not own.
after subtractinC a few acres owned
by private individuals.
That system Of government has
been changed since. 1t cost a lot OF
money and many lives to take the
operation OF the government into the
hands OF the many--but the French
people believe it to be worth the
price paid. although regrettiRg the
necessity Of the sacrifice.
Here in this country We have been
taught foI tim out OF mind. that the
whole people should run the govern
ment-that each man should con-
slider himself a. drafted the day he
was born To s.rve in any capacity
his talents max" possible. Yet here
is Senator Walsh actually advising
that no man should scrvc-tirat II
was a distinct personal loss to do so.
II was Ethan Allen who said II am
sorry that have but one life TO
give: and Rockefeller and Ford and
Walsh will have been forsotten in
few short wears. while Ethan Allen
will he remembered 80 long as this
country is governed by such patriotic
young men as now study in the vCner-
able university in GeorGetown-oT

or Tulane. or the little red school

The Senator is also quoted i'm this
same article as saying. "Tf had my
whole life 10 live over. I'd no more
risk prIblic' career again than I'd
risk taking OF my right hand" Now
immediately after that risque state

Replies to "a. E. F."
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

10 the Euitor. Inc washington Herald:
The criticism of "A. Z. F." in the
Open Court against retired regular
officers as members of the per-
sonnel of the Veterans Bureau
seems to ME to be an attempt to
oppose these officers appointment
more than to assist the former SOL
dicrs themselves. He seems to fear
that IL retired officers are given
appointments in the bureau civilians
Will stand no chance of getting. In.
| daresay he is either interested
himself In getting such an appoint
ment or has friend deeply con-
cerned in the matter.
However. if / am mistaken in my
surmise. | should like to assure "A.
f. F." that his statement that West
Pointers are inefficient and do not
have the sentiment necessary to the
success of such work is without
foundation because have founo
that generally the regular army Of
fcers had as much of a heart IL not
more. than the emergency officer
when IL came to assisting a soldier
in distress. Perhaps the West
Pointer always insists on the proper
performance OF a mans duty and
makes no exceptions in his admin
istration of the men under him. but
after the flaG is lowered at retreat
he will give any man a hearing at
his quarters and often accompany
his advice with the advancing Of
funds toward the relief of his caller

Cere, misguided enthusiasts" and
that they were beginning to un-
derstand that capital as well as
labor. had its Necessary and useful
place in civilized and prosperous
country. He pointed out that the
Soviet leaders in their new econom
ic policy were beginning to realize
that man was Inherently selfish
and desirous of reaping the fruits
of his own toll.
Discussing this new policy. MT
Goodrich said that he had noticed
n gradual restoration Of the piece
work system among Russian work
ers. and added that If there is any
thing the labor union hates, it's tna'
piece-work system" A size remarH
on this point was that this might
have been what induced Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. 10 deride the
present rulers in Russia.
Other instances of a change OF
policy, he said. were that the charg-
ing of rents was permitted and that
there was a freedom of barter and
trade. He said that bankers were
being encouraged to resume business
with permission to make loans and
charge interest. Manufacturers also
were going back to their plants
he said. where committees of work
ers previously had been in charge
under the Soviet rule.
Turning to an assertion that the
Russian peasant took no interest
in politics, Mr.. Goodrich said:
The meeting OF the communes
reminded me of the meetings OF
American farmers. They are a fine
rugged lot of people, and with good
conditions they will develop a civ
ilization rivaling Americas.
The government recognizes in its
new economic policy the self-inter-
est of the peasant. a man won't
work unless he can reap the fruits
of his toll. and that's a political
opinion itself"
He said that the piece sys-
tenn and new concessions had slim
ulated the workers to new efforts
and that he had bBen Informed
that individual workers had been
stimulated to do four and five times
the work they had been accustomed
to accomplish under the old com.
munist rules. Praising this spirit
and the Russians in general. he
said:
The parlor Socialists of this
country do not represent 7the' heart
of the Russian people. and it will
be disgrace IL the American peo-
pie do not do everything possible
to stay the famine in Russia"

IN CLOSING his welcoming address at the
i opening OF the Farm Congress, in the words
g:ot.I above. President Harding took up one of
the most vital questions before the country TODAY.
That expression OF opinion on the part of the
President should be a cause for rejoicing by men,
i'-rt oi the American Forestry Association which
will be in session at the Willard Hotel this after
noon For that session marks forty years of
forestry. The association founded in 1882 in
Cincinnati. Pioneers in that movement show such
names as J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska; Charles
Spraguc Sargent, of Boston; Dr. E. B. Fernow,
Charles Lathrop Pack DIR. Henry S. Drinker.
iorE:cr president OF Lchigh University, and many
others.
Those were identified with the move
mcnt IN the days when to even suggest that there
should be scIentihc forestry in this country was to
be the object OF jest. Forestry began in the late
sevc~tcs. The pioneers were in the same category

Sails for South America
James Sc. Martin Tracey, "a,
to Meet Luis Firpo in
RuenOs Ayysea

James st. Martin Tracey, the twenty
four-year-old champion heavyweight
fighter of Australasia, sailed yesterday
in one of the de luxe suites of the
Lamport & Holt liner Vauban, on his
way to Buenos Ayres, where he is to
meet Luis Firpo, the champion heavy
weight of South America, October 8.
He was accompanied by his manager,
George Nj. Lawrence, and his sparring
partner. Knute o. Hanson, known in
the ring as the "Racine Mystery"
Tracey said he expected to work two
hours day in the Vaubans gym
nasium, sprint ten miles around the
deck and box ten rounds every day
with Hanson. He said also that he
would be willing to take on any
stokers or trimmers that cared to meet
him in friendly bout when OFF duty
The young Australian weighs 1876
pounds, is feet 4 inches tall and in
the last seven years has had fifty
fights.
Among others on the yauban were
