YANKEE POLOTE

ST. CLOUD. France. July 2.-The
polo team from the United States
tops the Olympic tournament with
TWO victories in as many games, de-
feating yesterday the reputed strong
Spanish quartet by the score of IS
to :, with as great ease as it had dis
posed of the supposedly weak French
team last Saturday, 13 to 1.
BY virtue OF their victory over
Spain the North Americans are now
favored to win from Argentina.
Although the South American team
has not yet played in the Olympic
competition, it is admittedly, accord
ing to the form shown in practice
matches, the only aggregation which
is likely to prove stubborn opposi-
tton for the United States contest

Ewry's triumph is even more i'm
pressive because it was achieved over
stretch of eight years. In 1900 he
won the standing broad jump. the
standing high jump and the standing
hop, step and jump. He repeated this
triple triumph at ST Louis in 1904.
At Athens in 1906 the Olympic COM
mfttee eliminated the standing hop,
standing broad and high jumps for
the third time with apparent ease.
In London in 1908 he won these two
events again, passing out of inter
national competition at the conclu-
sion of the London meet.
Two Triple Winners.
There are many instances of ath,
letes winning two events in an Olym-
pic meet and some who have won
three events
Triple victories have been scored
several times in Olympic annals,
trio of American stars performing
this feat at St Louis in 1904, when
this country swept the field. Harry
Hillman of Dartmouth, a member OF
this years Olympic coaching staff,
captured the 400-meter run and the
200 and 400 meter hurdles; Archie
Hahn was crowned sprint champion
with victories in the 60 100 and 200
meter dashes, while Lightbody, mid
die distance crack, ran off with the
500 and $500 meter events and 2,500-
meter steeplechase.
One of the most remarkable
triples" and the last one on record
was scored by Hannes Kolehmainen,
Finnish distance star, at Stockholm
in 1912, when he won the 5000 and
10000 meter runs and the cross
country race.

 chamber of deputies on the midnight session of August 24.
 NJ. Ferdinand Faure (communist, Loire district): We think, and l say it with all necessary emphasis, that responsibility for the outbreak of the war was mutual" (Vio- lent protestations from the left. the center and the right) that is from the majority socialists, the liberals and the conservatives.
 NJ. Paul Painleve, president of the cham Der: Tt is absolutely inadmissable that you should pronounce here sentiments which are totally contrary to the provisions of the Yer sailles treaty."
 Nj. Ernest Lafont Communist, Loire dis trict): ''To the contrary that is a historical fact"
 NJ. Herriot (prime minister): "The gov ernment will not accept the admission of the responsibility of France in the unleashing of a terrible war in which the republic was the most innocent and at the same time. the most tortured victim" (Lively applause from the left, the center and from the right)

PUSH SCHOOL BUILDING

The increase in school attendance in this city is greater than even the school officials estimated. Triple sessions are by no means the exception in the hercu- lean effort now being made to accommo- date the overflow. Teachers and prln- cipals are exerting their ingenuity in every manner and to the utmost in or der to provide for the hosts of young Americans that come crowding through the gates that lead to education. While the results are commendable, in view ot the limited housing space Tn the various school buildings, yet there is an inevitable public loss being sustained because hu- man efforts cannot compensate for lack of room and facilities.
 As was foreseen when the recent bond issue was applied for and granted, the sum estimated as sufficient for the next five years will be altogether inadequate, and some means will soon have to be found for providing additional funds. It is a condition for which the school au- thorities are not responsible, this rapid cramming of the schools with ever-swell- ing throngs of little ones. This commit nity is growing most rapidly, and the influx of school children is the inevitable accompaniment of our manysided expan- sion.
 And yet, it seems that there has not been on the part of the school adminis- tration that energetic prosecution of the building program that the emergency calls for. Not only does it seem pos sible to speed up the construction of buildings now in progress, but it also appears feasible to start new units in the program without delay. Emergency situ- ations call for emergency measures, and it seems that one of the most important of such measures is vigorous forwarding of the construction outlined to the peo- pie in the recent successful appeal for funds.

THE HARVEST MOON

The moon reached fullness at ' a. ni., Sep tember 13. This is the harvest moon. The characteristic feature that gives rise to this name is that at the full moon near to the autumn equinox the time of moonrise on three or four successive evenings follows sun set by a small interval, and the farmers, as an old work on astronomy says, mot doubt ing that it had been ordered on purpose to give them an immediate supply of moon light for their greater conveniency in reap ing the fruits of the earth" gave the name of harvest to this particular full moon. The moon, as is generally known rises later night by night, the amount of the retardation de- pending on the latitude of the place. At the equater it does not differ greatly from a mean value of 50 minutes, but in high attitudes there is considerable variation. In every month there is a period when the retardation of moonrise from one night to the next is small, and in September or October this hap pens at full moon, which brings the fact into prominence as Washington Post.

WHY WILBUR WENT BACK

It is now believed that the presidents pre-emptory recall of Secretary Wilbur from his speaking tour back to Washing ton was not due to any emergency in the navy department, but to the secre- tary's unauthorized discussion of debat- able public questions. A member of the cabinet is usually accepted as the spokes- man of the president in public utter ances, and there is reason to believe that Mir. Wilbur had not consulted the presi- dent on some of the controversial sub- jects discussed by him. So it was quite proper for the president to summon him back to his desk. It is recalled that President Wilson promptly dismissed an appointee to the Japanese ambassador ship because the official made his jour ney across the country, to the Pacific port of departure, speech-making tour, particularly as the speeches related to his own mission. Members of the cab met and foreign ministers are part of the presidential family, and their concert with the chief executive should be very close. If they cannot accept that re- lationship, then the position is not for them.

CAIIEnnNIA,s RABY CROP

California, which is nothing If not practi- cal, has issued an unofficial communication giving the value of the baby crop of the state in the last 12 months at $79OS0,000, coming to the estimate by valuing the in fants at tons weight and so many dollars per baby. Of course, the estimate is sent out from Los Angeles, that boom city of the Golden State, which loves to boast and sell town lots. to customers. Somehow, that way of valuing babies is not agreeable To say that a newborn baby has an economic value of $154 is carrying commercilization entirely too far. As well put price on love. A baby is something to be coddled and cherished and set above fdbies in price. A baby is an innocence come to earth and ap- pealing to every protective instinct men and women have. A baby is not q piece of mer. chandise upon which to reckon profits. Cali fornia might at least curb its money grabbers where babies are concerned.-Philadelphi Bulletin. <
