DISSOLUTION OF ENTENTE

The break between France and Great Britain over separations at the Paris conference leads to the question whether France, the entente virtually dissolved will be able to hold the Ruhr valley with no other help but Belgium's.
 Automatically Great Britain and France stand where they were before. Each prolesses it's undying friendship for the other After disappearing the French terms, A. Bonar Law, British premier, expressed extreme regret over the irreconciliable differences, and declared that the friendship of Britain for France remains unchanged. Now that the invasion of the Ruhr district by the French forces is taking on the aspect of a conquest, Britain is looking askance at her former ally and the entente is apparently strained in places.
 The two countries are far apart on questions of continental policy. With the kaiser out of Germany and no long er a menace to the security ot Eu- rope, England was content to allow the German people to work out thelr salvation giving them time to pay the -eparations and make coal deliveries. With France, the opposite prevailed. They are determined to exact their pound of flesh even though it pre- cipitates another European war.
 France is eager to have the support of England and the United States in her move on Germany, but until re- centlv Italy has arrayed herself with England and the United States ln opposing the action of France.
 So far as the entente prope: is con- cerned it may be considered dead En- gland and France may be thrown to- gether by circumstances in deailns with many European problems, but where their interests dive2ge will re- tain freedom of action. And now the. question arises as to whether England having been virtually isolated will not set up new balance of power ID Europe.

WHY NOT SAVE THE SHIPS

Irving Bush, builder of the famous Bush terminals, writes an artlcie ln Golfers wherein he takes the VIC" that if we have to pay bonus to maintain our ships on the high seas' u is better to have no ships If we can not compete with other nations ID the shipping business let us get out of the business. He declares that natlon that is not self-contained must maln- tain a. large fleet to carry the goods which it buys abroad, whereas coun- try like the United States, which IS an exporting nation, has little to woff! about-certainly not enough to war rant it in substituting a merchant ma Tine.
 The view is not novel, yet it is bold, coming as it does from a man so closely identified with the shipping business. though not himself ship hing man. He does not say so, put evidently he favors junking the three billion dollar wartime fleet, or selling it for the small fraction of the orlgl- nal cost which it would bring. The program of our president offers the only alternative to this proposal It IS 10 assist our merchant marine until It can be placed on sound basis under private operation and then sell it for something like it's real value to prl- yate interests.
 Which plan, in the end, would be the better for the country? That is the crux of the whole question:

Might Bet on Jess,

" ERE'S a Washingtonian who
IT not only thinks Willard
should have his chance to
face Jack Dempsey again, but ad-
mits he might "risk shekel or
two" on the Kansas giant. Well,
read his letter:
"Mr. Louis A. Dougher,
Sporting Editor,
Washington Times.
Dear Sir:
"You have called for an express
sion of opinion from your readers
as to whether or not Jess Willard
should be given an opportunity to
regain the heavyweight title from
Jack Dempsey. My answer is:
eyes. Why not?
"My belief is that ex-champions
as rule should be given at least
one chance to regain the titles they
have lost, and | would have very
few exceptions made to that rule.
Willard has stood high in nv
regard since the day he whipped
Jack Johnson at Havana and thus
recovered the title from the negro
race. He lost little prestige with
me by his defeat at Toledo. By
the gameness he displayed during
the bitter moments of his defeat.
in my mind he atoned for his sin
of omission in not preparing prop
erly for the fight.
THE critics say that Willard is
fat. They said the same thing be-
fore the Jack johnson fight. They
say he is four years older nov
than at the time of the Toledo
fight. Quite true, but is it likely
he has lived as long during that
period as Jack Dempsey has lived
during the same four years..

Why, asks Haughton. should I
sign at $4,000 per annum when
Rockne was offered $4,000? Which
of course, brings UP the subject,
Which man is the better coach?
Haughton obviously believes him.
self to be the equal, il not the
superior. of Rockne.
There is ample room for a good,
old-tine controversy here. There
are perhaps many who believe
Haughton to be the better coach,
while there are just as many who
would stand by Rockne. Both, no
doubt, are of the foremost in the
country. The imminent question,
however, is, VIII Haughton prove
to be a capable man at Columbia!
Quite q number Of those con-
nected with the gTidiron game do
not think that HaughtOn will be
able to develop q winning team at
Columbia within three years time.
HaughtOn's football systems are
not the easiest i'm the world, and
so require hardly less than two
wears to take At Harvard
HaughtOn worked six years before
his systems were properly executed.
In the past Haughton has left the
business of practical coaching to MS
subordinates Then, after the line
coach, the end coach. and the back
field coach had completed their Jobs,
the team was turned over to Haugh-
ton, who proceeded to show the men
how to play the game i'll systematic
fashion.
If Haughton employs this system
at Columbia 1t is feared that he will
fall heir to anything but success.
Columbia needs a man who will step
out on the gridiron with her players
and show them every phase OF the
game.
Buck O'Neill, who resigned as
coach of the Blue and White at the
end of the past season, paid little at
tention to details and suffered de-
served fate.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen
what Haighton will accomplish when
the announcement is made that he
will tutor the Columbia eleven. To-
night meeting is to be held among
Columbia men, and it is duly thought
that at the termination of it Haugh-
ton will be announced as next sea-
sons coach-that is, provided that an
a agreement is reached in regard to
salary.

III the Gays Wnen Bill Carr1gan
managed the Boston Red Sox we
always admired him for his cour-
age In going to bat in a pinch.
He was manager. He did not nee
essarily have to name himself for
this tough task of hitting in the
tight places. But that's what >Bill
used to do, and how the Georgia
avenue fans used to roar and poke
fun at him when he failed. It
was meat for them.
The manager, even though in
uniform, need not go up and take
his three healthies. He always
has few loafers on the bench.
He is we'll within his rights to
delegate them. But Bill Carrigan,
who knew he was dangerous hit
ter, took the chance of failing in
the pinch. He did not give the
risk to anybody else.
So with Zeb Milan. The little
manager had a heart as big as an
elephants. When the tight places
came-and they came to him thir-
ty times last season-he yanked
some other player, and, picking up
his bat, he marched right up there.
Furthermore, Zeb did this little
thing right here in Washington,
too. He did not do so merely on
the road, where failure meant only
cheers for the home team. He
did it at Georgia avenue, where
failure might easily bring groans
and jeers. He is to be congratu-
lated for his courage, though he
may never have given that part Of
it a thought.
In his thirty trips to the plate
in pinches Zeb got four singles.
Once he walked and once he
famed, worse luck. His 1873 aver
age is small, but his average of
heart and nerve is much, much
higher, and in the long run that's
what counts with a man.

Has All Measurements
Necessary to Make
Ball Player

Cas- ey, the Irrepressible
Stengel, has found a new one
for the major leagues. He is
bringing a Russian player back
with him from his tour of the
Orient. "This guy is ringer
for Hack Miller of the Cubs"
writes Casey, ain language and
action.
His name is Sergius Soppolok-
kovich, and he wears a size 80
collar and a 6 hat, which ought
to qualify him as a ball player.
He has an arm like Bob Mensel,
bunions like Rollie Zeider, and
legs like Honus Wagner. If we
can cut off his beard and change
his name to Murphy, he ought
to be a knockout in the National
League"
