 When the May flowers start to | dot the hillside. then the baseball ! fever will be at its height and there 1 will be plenty of work for the boys l in uniform. Like many others, we are wonder 1 ing all along just when Louis (kid) 1 kaplan is going to fight again. It appears that the former feather. weight champ is either all done or there is something radically wrong with him. It is high time that he either got going or announced that he was all through. He has had just two fights since the first of the year while at this time last year. he had already had six or seven real good scraps. Many are convinced that kaplan's physl- cal condition will prevent him from taking part ill any further bouts, but others claim that the combna- ton of his illness and his fathers death have naturally prevented him from going to work.
 liaplan certainly has had a tough time of it lately. He has met re- verse after reverse and these all must have worked on his mental and physical condition. We would cer- tainly be sorry to see him pass from the picture because we always ad- mirod him as a scrapper.
 On the streets or in private life, Kaplan was always a gentleman. We know intimately of an incident that proves the fact that though he is helligerent in the ring, he is mild hammered boy outside.
 Down in Mcriden one night last fall just about the time that straw hats were going out of season. New Britain automobile party was passing through rather late at night. Seeing q Coney Island Hot Dog stand on the street, suggestions were or fered with the result that the party went into the restaurant.
 Inside there were q number Of young men -about-town from Meri- den indulging in the gentle pastlme of smashing each others straw bon- nets. One of these was on peg near where the New Britain men placed their hats, also straw.
 Suddenly one of the riotous party sped across the room and seized a straw hat with motions as if 10 break it. A howl reached his ears. He had the wrong hat. He quickly replaced it and took his friends lid and smashed it.
 The New Britain man whose hat was first seized. left no doubt as to what he would do to the little fellow who took his hat, did he at tempt again to take it off its rest ing place. He received no answer except neat apology that pleased the New Britain party.
 When the proprietor came up to serve the local people, he was asked who the young fellow was. 'WhS that's Kid Kaplan" was the an swer and then we give you one guess as to who felt foolish.

LATIN AMERICAN
POLICY DISCUSSED
Dr.. ]. H. Latane Criticizes
Present Attitude at institute
of Public Affairs.
BY THOMAS X. HENRY.

UNIVERSITY, Va, August THE
right Of the United States to intervene
in the affairs of Latin America was de-
bated this forenoon before the. Insti-
tute of Public Affairs, now In session
at the University of Virginia.
The most important problem in the
foreign relations of the United States
is that OF formulating wise and just
Latin American policy" said DR.. John
II Latane Of Johns Hopkins University.
In 1900 our Investments in Latin
America amounted TO about $1,000
100000 Today they exceed $1,000
100000 As O result of the World War
the United States has ceased TO be a
debtor nation and has become a cred
itor nation 10 such an extent that our
foreign loans and investments almost
equal those of England and are likely
soon to exceed them. The problem OF
how TO safeguard and control these IN
vestments so far has been dealt with IN
haphazard and bungling way DR..
LAtane said.
Sees Struggle.
THE only thing that stands in the
way Of selfish exploitation OF our
southern neighbors by plutocratic IN
terests Of American capitalists Is Amer
lean public opinion. We are facing one
Of the greatest struggles in American
history. The struggle between Imperial
ism and democracy.
Since the Monroe doctrine prevents
Europe from exercising any control over
what We do in the Caribbean area. there
