The Ring Game Here.
UTASHINGTON lovers of box
" ing, even if not that shown
by the champions, have
much to ponder upon.
So long as purely local interests
conduct the shows, all is we'll,
The moment outsiders come in, it
is time to do some heavy thinking.
And when a Baltimore promoter,
unable to live in his own town,
attempts to break in here, it is
time for all hands to get together
and drive him out.
The Washington Barracks puts
on regular shows that are a credit
to the authorities. Nothing is
assured in the ring, but the
average of the attractiveness is
high down at the barracks. The
bouts are clean and earnest. The
fans get their moneys worth.

more ambitious, has yet to strike

Mann, a Washingtonian, is match

Frank A. Dane, who lives in

There is nothing to hide.
Boxing, conducted in strictly
above board manner, is a clean
sport of interest to thousands.
It would be most unfortunate if,
for any reason, the ring game
should fall upon evil days here
just as it seems to be advancing
so rapidly.

lassoed in their own moccasins,

While these desert denizens

They may be soon, but he is
sudden. Quick and swift, that's
his motto, same as q one-arm

The Finn can beat any tribes

Nurmi has raced everything
we have in this country except
an Indian and his own echo. He
always meets the latter on its
way back.
In the first place Paavo will
be running without weight or
baggage. An Injun can't sprint
without a tomahawk in one
mitt and a firebrand in the
other.
This race would be a hare
and tortoise affair if Nurmi was
given to somnambular traits,
but as he sleeps best in Pull
man cars only, there is no need
to get excited and pay the land
lord.

sion at His hands, Of his subsequent
activities in carrying out the direc-
tions given, and the consequent hos
tility of the Jews. He concluded with
showing that Christianity is Judaism
in flower, for Moses and the prophets
taught the coming of Messiah who
| should suffer, who should rise from
the dead, and thru whom was to be
light for both Jew and Gentle. 1t
was great speech to desired Jew
that had as its goal the convincing of
his reason. His kingliness lies in his
absolute obedience to the call of the
hour. Action matched vision in ev-
cry case. Hamlet makes sorry fig
ure beside him. The thing he believed
right was the thing to be done with
no delay. He who can is king.
HITTING THE MARK.
Paul's address struck home. Festus
with Roman decisiveness and mind
that must arrive at a conclusion even
in the midst of quotations and argu-
ment utterly unfamiliar cries. paul.
YOU'RE crazy" But the speaker had
reused an imperial Judge out of his
wonted calm. 1t was Agrippa's meet
ing, but he had to break in. Paul
brushed him aside with a gesture of
cOurtesy-he wasn't after him this
time. He would win Agrippa, and
his swift speech went on with its ap-
peal for action based upon the con-
WINGED mind of which he was now
sure. The king was facing a bad
hour. The Roman word had been
spoken. The elite of the capital look
ed on-he could not possibly admit
his conviction in the face of such a
crowd-they would laugh at him and
he could never endure that He
couldn't face a smile that had in it the
curl Of the lip. Poor little Agrippa!
So he jested it off. 'You must think
I'm an easy one if you believe you
can make me Christian with so
snort an argument" Rising, he set
the example for the rest in court or
der, Festus and Bernice being next.
Paul's courtesy did not fail and his
consciousness Of the rank Of Chris
tian appears in his reply, 81 would
to God thou mightest become such as
am, except these bonds" Was he
thinking Of the king bound by fetters
Of fear Of others Outside the shaken
king pursed his lips and while his soul
shouted, "Pauls right PauIs right,
Paul's right" spoke judicially, This
man doeth nothing worthy of death
or bonds" 1t was much for Jew to
say, but it spelled the defeat of the
king. Never again did opportunity
come for the crowning of a higher
king; his real day was done.

with another follower of the Man who
refused to die and with all the crowd
ing memories of the family relation
ships, it must have been with a
strange eagerness that he said, 81
was wishing to hear the man myself"
Tomorrow you shall hear him. said
the greatly relieved Festus.
WHO WAS THE KING?
1t was a great day in that gorgeous
palace where festivity was rife in en-
tertaining the King. Into that great
hall with its porphery and marble, its
tapestried splendor set with jewels,
came the guests of honor to their
places upon the regal dias. Festus
wore the Roman toga; Agrippa had
the crown and robes of purple clasped
with gems that made him a marked
! figure. Bernice with jeweled tiara
and ropes Of pearl looked every inch
queen, though her life with her
brother was tawdry scarlet. There
were rulers from various cities, Ro-
man officers with FURNISHED arms,
slaves in attendance upon the whim
Of power, and all the pageantry of a
great court function. Into its heart
moved cultured Jew whose every
step was punctuated by the clank Of a
chain and accompanied by the heavy
step Of a guard. Facing the dias,
Paul lifted his face, SCARED by stones
and lined by pain but alight with high
thinking and the rushing memory of
the words of Jesus, "Ye shall be
brought before king and governors
for My names sake" This was TO be
his great hour and that Presence in
which he lived would give him words.
His hand might be chained, but his
mind was unbound and his soul was
free for one of the greatest of his
endeayors. He would win these fine
folk for his Lord. Festus rose re
spectfully and told the occasion of the
assembly for which Paul was to fur
nlsh entertainment, and Agrppa gra-
ciously gave the prisoner permission
to speak. And after that moment
there never was a doubt as to which
was the king.
WHAT MADE HIM KING?
He saw but one man and that was
Agrippa to whom he addressed his eX-
PLANTATION of his life. That was wise,
for this was the person whose word
of understanding would be written
into the case, but it was the passion
of a soul-winner that made him pick
his man. Cautiously he began, eX-
planned his education and Pharisaic
beliefs in a future life and in res
direction, told of his persecution of
the Church, of his arrest by Jesus up
on the Damascus way, of his commits

WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A
FRIEND.
Out FeliX-in Festus. Another
change in Judean rulers by which
Rome hoped to bring peace out of the
ceaseless strife of her most turbulent
province, settled a man in Herod's
palace in Caesarea who broke his
heart in the task. After the dilatory
Felix he must have found a desk
piled with matter demanding imme-
dlate attention, but in spite of the
strain of sea voyage in an uncom-
Portable galley, he left for Jerusalem
on the third day. Returning "on the
morrow" Paul was put on trial and all
the vindictiveness of the Jews against
worse than publican was spilled in
the court room leaving Festus breath
less in his inability to understand
what it was all about Official Jeru-
salem should know more than he of
such things, so the open mined,
generOus-spirited Roman proposed
carrying Paul there in the interest of
real justice. But the Apostle knew
the temper Of the capital better than
his judge, and having no wish to face
dagger-men either there or on the
way, appealed his case to Caesar.
Fastus was stunned. His first ju-
dicial act was to go back to the Rome
he had been appointed to protect from
trouble. He was failing with both
subject and emperor, Then he tried
to fix up the charge and give a sum
mary Of the case upon which Caesar
was to pass, but it left him hopeless
of any clear statement. If anyone ever
needed a friend Festus did in those
days Of perpleXity in the beginning
Of his administration. and it was with
high joy that ne welcomed Agrippa
upon a visit of felicitation to the new
ruler. The governors quick, judicial
mind had discovered the heart of the
case in zone Jesus, who was dead
whom Paul affirmed to be alive" Now
the fate of the House of Herod had
been involved with this Man. His
great-grandfather had KILLED the
babes at Bethlehem and murdered

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
GENEVA, February 23-With ref
erence to the opinion handed down by
the Permanent Court of International
Justice at The Hague regarding the
Interpretation of the word "estab-
ltshed' in the Lausanne peace treaty,
and relating to the Greeks resident in
Constantinople, NJ. Politis, the Greek
representative, has succeeded in his
View-that Greeks domiciled in Con-
stantinople before the signing of the
armistice in 1918 are not liable to
exchange.
On the other hand, the Turkish rep
resentative carried his point with re-
gard to priests of the Greek patri-
archaic, who, according to the Turk
ish view, can be exchanged.
NJ Politis endeavored to obtain for
ecclesiastics exemption from ex-
change. though his contention was not
not submitted to the court Both
sides, therefore, won something in
appealing to the court. and the de-
cision in favor of the Greek position
regarding the Interpretation of the
word "established' is of great i'm
portance to the Greeks in Constanti-
nople, despite the fact that the patri-
lutely decided. In view of the atti-
tude of the Turkish government rela-
tive to the patriarch, developments on
this problem are awaited with in
