Hidden Gold Found

A story is told of a man whose
home and mill, all that he had in the
world, were swept away by floods
But, as he stood on the scene Of his
loss, after the water had subsidized,
brOken-hearted and discouraged, be
saw something shining in the bank,
which the water had washed bare. 1t
was gold. The flood which had beg
CARED him, had made him rich. "Sor-
row strips off loved possessions, but
reveals the treasures of the love of
Cod"

it was the Kellogg pact, put in motion
by another American administration,
which finally bound the nations to-
gether in a moral agreement that war
be renowned as an instrument of ma
tional policy and that hencefOrth the
nations of the world agree to settle
their disputes by arbitration rather
than at the mouths of cannon.
***
Finally, when the time seemed pro-
pitious for the taking of another step
along the path of naval limitation it
was an American administration,
which, cooperating with the govern
ment of our chief naval rival, worked
out a plan which, it is believed, viii
further lessen the naval burdens of the
people of the earth without sacrifc-
ing the doctrine of parity and of de-
fensive naval needs.

Here is the record of little less than
a decade. Today Europe has gone
farther along the path of peace and
economic rehabilitation than would
have been dreamed possible short
ten years ago. In each step the United
States has played a prominent part
and has played the part of an adviser
and friend, a disinterested party who
could lend his aid for the very reason
that he was not committed to any Eu
ropean policy and was not committed
in advance to the entanglements of
European politics. This much has been
done by country which sought not
isolation, but the preservation of its
traditional policy Of friendship toward
all nations and alliances with none.
The result proves that it is success
full policy. Had we ten years ago
elected to enter into the maze of Euro
pean diplomacy and European politi-
cal jealousies could we have been SO
successful in showing the way to
peace and understanding The an
swer is so plain that it needs no elu-
cidation here The internationalists
have been refuted by the history of the
world during the past decade. And our
international policies will continue as
it has been because it is the best pol
icy not only for the United States,
but for Europe as well.

Prize Hunters.

Turk" Shartzer and Taxi Bill Shat
fer are ahead thus far in the race for
cunning honors for the present sea-
son. Their most noted "catch" has
been the hunting hound of Bill, which
they bagged the first day out. Both
fired their artillery at the bunch of
waving grass at the same moment
and the $50 hound Immediately took
his departure for the happy hunting
grounds. Turk" furnished the dog
with food from Miller's meat store all
summer with the understanding that
he could use the hound for the fall
shooting.

AFFAIRS CONCERNING THE
NATION.

Written for The Republican by Frank
P. Litschert
When the United States Senate,
after historic battle, rejected the
| League of Nations so far as the Unit
ed States membership in that interna-
! tiOnal association was concerned, and
it became necessary, because of condi-
tons, that we draw up and ratify a
separate peace with Germany, Uncle
| Sam was denounced, not only in Eu-
rope, but by the more rabid interna-
pariah among nations. 1t was assert
| ed that we had given up a great OPP
| portunity offered US to become the
moral leader Of t3a nations Of the
world, that we hdi adopted policy
which amounted to building a great
wall around the United States with the
intention of retiring selfshly unto our
| selves, and that the natural develop
ments would be loss of world prestige
| to ourselves and the fastening of the
war danger on the world for genera
tons to come because our influence for
peace would be missing in world af-
| fairs.
Ten years have passed since the
stirring battle over the League Of Ma
tons. 1t might be we'll to pause for
moment, and review succeeding events
| to see whether or not these dire pre-
dictions of the internationalists have
been carried out Have we built that
insurmountable wall and retired into
isolation? Have we endangered world
understanding and world peace? What
is the record of the past decade?
| In 1921 there was called into being
in the City of Washington a naval
limitations conference. 1t assembled
on invitation of the United States
| Government and in that conference we
gave up what was agreed to be an eX-
cellent chance to become the greatest
naval power on earth. We would soon
have had a preponderance in bat
tleships yet we gave up this assured
battleship superiority and accepted
! battleship equality, with our only SER
ious rival, Great Britain. We did this
because we hoped that it would be the
first act in a world drama of general
disarmament and ultimate peace, and
we sunk good battleships to show our
sincerity and our good intentions in
the cause of peace.
When the great battle of the Ruhr
came on, when it seemed that Ger
many might sink into bolshevism and
the financial security of France be
destroyed in the general economic de-
bacle Of the times, it was the Dawes
plan, perfected in a conference pre-
sided over by leading American
statesman, which saved the day,
| brought financial order out of chaos,
| gave Germany new lease OF life and
lessened the financial tension, to say
nothing of the military tension in
| France.
| *#+
When the time came for the revis-
ing of the Dawes pact and the solution
of the reparations tangle so that allied
troops might leave the Rhine and ac-
tual peace be bestowed, American
craftsmanship and American financial
genius were again in the forefront in
bringing the solution.
When the time seemed ripe to write
another chapter in the book of peace

Putting Being Tested Canadian Girl Sensation

Every evening when his work on the
courts was finished, he would play for
an hour with his daughter and then
direct her practice at the board. He
says he never had to persuade her to
practice; she was always at the board
as soon as she could get there and was
always reluctant to stop.
And so, the daughter of the grounds
man of the tennis club has become
famous. The officials of the club, who
do everything In their power to forward
the game of tennis in the Dominion
we're quick TO see the promise displayed
by young Olive. They encouraged her
and she became playing member of
the club. She was fortunate In being
able to first watch and afterwards play
with the very best lady player that
Canada has yet produced, Mrs. Harry
Bickle. She was fortunate, too, in
having a father keen enough to devote
hours of his time in helping her i'm
prove her game. But the phenomenal
success which has attended her efforts
is due In no small measure to her own
courage and determination. Every
credit is due her for her great achieve
ments.
First she became club juionr champion;
then club champion. and then in turn,
city champion, provincial champion and
finally Canadian champion. There Is
that in her gaze which holds distlncG
promise that one day in the not too
distant future, Miss Wade viii be the
equal Of any girl on this continent or
any in the world.
Miss Wade started competition at
the age Of IL.
Her record is as follows:
At 13-Won eastern junior title at
At i4-In final for Central Ontario
title at Toronto 1926.
At 15-Won Southern Ontario junior

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

DR.. r. D. Webb did the same thing
at Columbia, and a week thereafter
Walter r. Hall did the identical stunt
at Rock Creek Park. In the case OF
both Dugan and Webb, they believed
the tee which came through the ball
cover was not the tee which they
used, but Hall claims the tee which
perforated the cover Of the ball he
struck was the one he struck the ball
from.
Some day some long-hitting golfer
is going to romp over the Bannock-
burn course in 66 or 81, II the score
made recently by Leo F. Pass is any
augury. Pass had card Of SO on the
last nine holes after getting out In 40
and might have scored 81 IL one or
two holeable puts had gone down.
Par for the first nine holes is IS, and
has been done, but no player has been
able to hook up the two mines with
scores sufficiently low to break 10.
The present course record, playing the
ball where it lies, is. II and is held
by w. L. Pendergast. Pass took four
strokes to get down from spot Is
yards from the pin at the sixteenth
hole, where he might as easily have
scored a as the that adorned his

Editor Canadian Lawn Tennis and Badminton.
T ORONTO, August ga few
years ago, tiny tot stood at one
side Of the net clasping racket
as big as herself in both hands
and batted the ball back over
the net to her father on the other side.
AS she became stronger her father
gradually moved her farther back from
the net. The next stage found her
getting the ball back the whole length
Of the court. After a few months
and long before she tried to play a real
game Of tennis, her father took her to
the practice board where every day for
an hour or so she batted away with all
her little might under the watchful eye
Of her parent. Today, only four months
girl, Olive Grace Wade, is lady singles
champion of Canada.
Incidentally, she has already won
more titles than there are years in her
age She has won the Canadian junior
title three times; is Ontario women's
singles champion: holds the Canadian
and the Ontario doubles championships
with her sister, Mrs. o. e. Gray: is
Western Ontario junior champion; holds
the western women's doubles title with
her sister and has numerous others.
Parents Are English.
Her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Wade, came to Canada from Ilford.
Essex, England. 20-odd years ago. She
was born in Toronto, March "a. 1912.
Mr.. Wade was q builder in the old
country, but his health demanded less
strenuous occupation. He found
healthy and congenial occupation soon
after reaching Canada. when he joined
the Toronto Tennis Club, as grounds
man. He was naturally adapted to this
work and he is recognized now as one
OF the leading experts on court con-
Struction and maintenance in the
Dominion. He has been with the
Toronto Cricket Club for more than
IS years and that body would not will
ingly part with his services.
Playing around the courts while her
daddy was at work, it is not surprising
that little Olive from the moment she
could walk developed a fondness for
the game which soon amounted to a
craving. Before she could toddle, her
baby hands reached excitedly for any
ball that came in her direction. AS
soon as her little legs would carry her
body she used to grip any racket she
could fnd with her baby hands and
ask her father to stop his work to play
with her.
When she was between 10 and IL
years Of age her father saw that she
was showing q natural bent for her
game, as even then she swung her
racket with freedom and grace that
were evident and hit the ball with ex-
traordinary pace and accuracy in one
so young Mr.. Wade Is a keen sports
man and he Immediately did all he
could to encourage his younger daughter.

- EABRIGHT, N. j.. August g.
Playing on a rain-drenched court,
Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Calf,
~ won the women's singles final In
the annual Seabright Lawn
Tennis and Cricket Club tournament
today. completely outclassing her fellow
Californian, Edith. Cross of San Fran
cisco, by scores of 81, 60. The
match lasted but 80 minutes.
A gallery of slightly more than 200:
including Gov. Morgan F. Larson of
New Jersey, looked on as Miss Jacobs,
the country's second ranking player,
successfully defended her Seabright
laurels won last year. z
From the outset it was seen that MISS
Cross. No 3 in the national ranking,
had little chance against the well placed
driving and fine volleying OF Miss
Jacobs. Miss Cross was able to win
only three scattered games. the same
number collected by Marjorie Morrill,
of Dedham, Mass. in the semi-hnal
and by Marjorie Gladman OF santa
Monica, Calf, in the third round. ,
Miss Jacobs suffered the loss OF out
IL games but not single set IN her
four matches.
Speeds Up Her Game.
Instead of slowing up Miss Jacobs
game the pelting rain appeared to make
it more dangerous. Her crisp drives
slithered over the turf with a low. de-
ceptive bound that had Miss Cross
banging the ball outside or into the net
for a total of 80 errors in the two sets.
Miss Jacobs, on the other hand. made
40 miscues and in the difference lay
her superiority.
Miss Cross, taking the net whenever
possible in spite Of the bad footing
scored 10 placements to Miss JACOBS 10,
but her numerous errors caused her to
beat herself.
Miss Jacobs started off with a rush,
winning the first game on her service
with loss of but two points and break

ing through Miss Cross In o deuced
second game. After dropping two more
in rapid succession. Miss Cross finally
checked her opponents rush for a
moment. On placement volley and
three forced errors by Miss Jacobs, she
performed the feat Of piercing the
No. 2 ranking stars service at love,
but her success proved short-lived.
Finding her racket thoroughly soaked,
Miss Jacobs procured a new weapon
and came back to reel OF two more
games for the set. Both players now
had drawn on heavy WOODEN socks over
better traction on the rain soaked
grass 1t was raining harder as they
started the second set.
Travelling at top speed, Miss Jacobs
raced through the first game at love on
her opponents service and added the
second before Miss Gross was able to
pull out her own delivery in a game
that went to deuce twice. Again In
the sixth game Miss Cross pulled out a
long deuced decision, this time on q
break through service.
But Miss Cross was being forced to
do all the running and speed Of foot
was proving increasingly dinicult as
the court became more and more like
section of a swamp. Once. in the
sixth game, she fell in a heap as she
sought to retrieve q tricky trop shot.
The rain, increasing to near cloud
burst proportions, completely drowned
out the mems doubles final, which
eventually was postponed until tomor-
row, with the youthful team Of
Berkeley Bell of Austin. Tex. and
Gregory Mangin, Newark, N. j., leading
the old Davis Cup combination Of
Richard H. williams. I'd, Philadelphia,
and Watson WaShburn, New York, IS,
is, As, 81.
In the mixed doubles final contested
later In the day, when the weather had
improved, Bell and Marjorie Morrill,,
Dedham, Mass. defeated Clara zinke,
Cincinnati, and J. Gilbert Hall, South
Orange, N. j., Ga, rs.
