The Jersey Commission" said
Louis j. Messano. chairman Of that
body, has decided that gymnasium
exhibitions and workouts are no
fair test Of physical fitness in the
case OF Jess Willard. We will in.
eist that he go through with at
least one real match with some
heavyweight title contender before
we will sanction meeting with
the champion
Canada will not tolerate the bout,
according to p. j. Mulqueen. presi-
dent OF the Canadian Boxing Fed
GRAFTON. and Roul e. Hankar of
the French Boxing Federation is
quite sure that his country would
frown on Jess Willard boxing any
one in France.

Jess Wizards showing in Ohio
On 1919" said Mr.. Baehr. was all
we want of this particular boxer.
His showing was most unsatisfac
tory, to say the least. 1t was suit
Gent to prove he has no license
In the same ring with Jack Demp
sey. My opinion of Mr.. Willard
Is that he won the title on fluke
and when he was forced TO face a
good man he DIDN'T put up the sem.
blance OF a fight"
Never again for Ohio, so far as
Jess Willard Is concerned" de
clared Mr.. Lightcap. He couldn't
fight when he faced Dempsey over
three years ago, and his claim that
he is only thirty-six years old now
a. knocking off about seven years
Of his actual age. We happen TO
know that Wizards father is bur-
led near st. Marys, Kans., and the
tombstone shows the date of the
elder Wizards death as 1879.
Senator Rosendo Collazo, presi-
dent of the Cuban boxing commits
sion, and father of the boxing bill
In that little island, said: II don't
think Willard 8 lit opponent for
Jack Dempsey or any other good
heavyweight. Harry Wills, it seems
TO me, is the only heavyweight
who would have any chance to win
the title, but for Willard to fight
Dempsey. that is most absurd.

About the only boxing commits
sion head who declined TO express
himself was Walter Liginger, Of
Wisconsin. Mr.. Liginger, being
president Of the National Boxing
Commission, felt he might be a
little bit out Of order as head Of
the body II he expressed a per-
sOnal opinion while the business
Of the meeting was i'm progress.
The National Boxing Association
Is not in a position to condemn a
Wiilard-Dempsey match as q body
but their individual members Ger.
tainly expressed themselves de
cidedly in opposition.
In fact, only two persons of the
great list OF persons having any
interest in or connection with the
boxing game have given Willard
the ghost of a chance against
Dempsey. Needless to saw. those
two persons are both promoters.

HOSTILITY TO YOUTH
BY DR.. Frank Crane

There are few human traits that are
out-and-out bad. They are naughty, wicked,
low and we ought to be ashamed OF them,
repent in sackcloth and ashes and quit.
Among these, one in particular | wisa
to point out 1t is the feeling of hostility to
youth.
1t is a sin OF elderly persons naturally. 1t
has various degrees; sometimes 1t is merely
dull resentment, sometimes open sheer
ing, sometimes persistent snubbing, often or
gained offensiveness.
I am sure I cannot imagine why youth
should be despised. There is everything in
it to admire. It's bumptiousness, forward
ness, seIf-confdence, even its fippancy are
at least of life and force, and
not the mean offensiveness of impotency.
The worst thing that can happen man
as he grows old is to fall into a spirit of
envy against the younger generation.
1 like that sonorous sentence of Dr.
Johnston, in which he touches Pitts reply
to WaIpole: THE atrocious crime of being
g. young man which the honorable gentle
man has with such spirit and decency
charged upon me, shall neither attempt to
palliate deny; but content myself with
wishing that 1 may be one of those whose
follies may cease with their youth and not
one OF CQdC uumU0E WHO oIS 1ShOl ohI III
spite of experience"
We should understand the sins of nations
and the fatuities of society much better if
we did not forget that the group mind is
usually very child-minded.
While almost every E,ember OF parliament
may be adult-minded and intelligent, the
combined action of the whole group may be
remarkably silly. Very often the greatest
common -divisor of one hundred wise men
can only be found In the mentality of boy
of fifteen.
When Mark Twain wrote his story Of the
Yankee at King Arthur's Court, he made
very deeply penetrative observation when he
said he had discovered, the reason why the
worthless of that time acted as they did, the
reason for the extravagancies of chiValry, the
cruelty of governments and the brutality of
the common life. He says they were all chill
dren.
1t is only because we are child-minded
that we have wars. Russia today is entire
ly dominated by lot Of grown-up children.
It is because France and Germany are SUI
premely childish that they are unable to
come together and arrange their difficulties
for the benefit of all the people concerned.
We have many hard tasks in this world,
but the hardest task of each one of us and
the hardest task of every nation and the
hardest task of the whole world is the task

c. Why is lobster meat high in price?
J. D.
A. The rise in the price of lobster is due
to the increasing scarcity of this she'll fish
and the difficulty with which it is propa-
gated. An expert at the lobster hatchery of
Woods Hole stated that if only two out of
10000 eggs Matched survived the fourth

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

John HAYS Hammond once was accosted
by an optimistic miner who asked him for
the loan of a thousand dollars to complete
an undertaking then under way.

prospector land all the signs show that l
am within ten feet of million dollars. What
need at the present is just a little help,
and it won't be any time at all before bust
right smack into the middle of a bonanza"
Whether or not Mr. Hammond advanced
the cash is not recorded, but 1t is a fact
that three years elapsed before he again saw
the enthusiastic speculator. When the latter
reappeared in Hammond's office he seemed
to have lost some of his buoyancy. Further
more, the state of his wardrobe did not sug-
gest any great wealth on the part of its
wearer.
Hello" said Hammond. "How about that
good thing you were working On?" The last

The Ne1O Crisis IN EUROPE
Darkens To1Oard a Head

TINE expected fall of the Cuno govern
ment in Germany and the unexpected,
though not unnatural, British note to
France render still more critical Euro

The outcome is yet hardly to be coniectured
so tense the feelings, so various and change
full the factors involved.
Unrest in Germany has grown with the
summer July witnessed. what one ,Ameri-
can correspondent called an epidemic of
talk about revolution The press as well

ing from widest radicalism to utter reac-
ton. A Communist journal kindled the
fire by urging its clientele to prepare for
trouble-for fighting" Multitudes, no
doubt, had thought and whispered what
this one agitator shouted from the house
top; but somehow worn word can become
terribly provocative in print. The month
closed with outbreaks here and there, and
with the governments having recourse to
stern measures to prevent nationwide dem
onstrations August, instead of cooling the
excitement, seems thus far to have fever

Such are the circumstances in which
Chancellor Cuno his grip long faltering, is
compelled to resign. Withdrawal Of So

Cuno has grown weaker as his country S

Gustav Stresemann, who is essaying to or

err contingency which may ripen into like
lihood IL not into fact before frost: Instead
Of revolution there may be dsintegration,
splitting apart of regions which were
welded into the German empire and which
compose the present republic. Whatever the
event, much history will soon be in the
making.
That history will be of utmost Importance
not to Germany alone. nor to France alone,
but to all Europe and all the world. Great
Britain, by her latest note, is drawn into an
issue in which she always was vitality con-
cerned, but from which heretofore she has
held tactfully aloof. She declined, last win
ter, to join France and Belgium in military
OCCUPATION of the Ruhr, but at the same time
refrained from opposing them by either Of
ficial word or deed. Though British iudg
ment was Enthusiastically against the occupa-
ton. there was tacit agreement that the
French should be given opportunity to show
what they thus could do toward collecting
indemnities undeniably due them. At the
final conference on the subject, Poincare and
Bonar Law, then prime minister parted as
cordial friends Moreover, ,as months elapsed
and the attempts Of Berlin to invite inter
vention from London came to naught, France
had reason to feel more and more secure la

British trade interests, to whom democrat
lied Central Europe meant loss of business,
and British workingmen, to whom it meant
loss Of livelihood, were at odds with the
French policy. Had that policy brought
prompt results in the way of German capitu7
lation, it would have been more palata BILE;
but it became less and less so, as moon after
moon rounded and waned with never q sign
of decision. 1t is now seven months since
French armies first rumbled over the Rhine
into Germany s industrial stronghold, the rich
mineral valley Of the Ruhr. But the repara-
concerned, is no jot nearer settlement. What
ever France may have gained for herself

ly has contributed nothing thus far to So
luton of the vexed international problem,
with it's grave challenge to the peace of the
world Contrariwise, her exploit has raised
swarm of new and troublous issues without,
simplifying the one to which it was ad-
dressed.
1t is but natural, then, that the British
government at last has spoken out the Brit
ish mind The unexpectedness of the note
is not in its content, which was foreshadowed
weeks ago in Prime Minister Baldwin's ad-
dress to parliament, but in it's tone. Its
words leave so little to implication that Paris
needs must finch under them. Yet, since
thew were to be said, it is we'll that they were
said plainly Is the Entente at an end? Will
diplomacy find bridge or ford for the deep
waters that now roll between late allies? The
devout wish of millions of Americans is that
international cooperation for justice and
peace may be established. But at this mo-
ment one hardly could say that the wish is
father to expectation.
