Editorial Comment
Won Tirpitz
(NcW York TimeS)

NNCW 4Ork xlMeS)
More than a dozen years after the event popular opin-
ion remains justified in thinking of Admiral Won Tirpitz
as primarily responsible for the German U-boat warfare
and the policy Of ruthlessnesS which brought the United
States to the side of the Allies. In his memoirs, written
soon after the armistice, the blame is assigned to the
political crowd in general and Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg in particular. When submarine warfare was
begun in February, 1915, 1t was against the advice of Won
Tirpitz, who thought the move premature and unhappy"
In the early winter of 1916 he insisted that the moment
had come for unrestricted submarine warfare. When the
government ruled against him he resigned, in March,
the German government did embark upon unrestricted
U-boat warfare in 1917 Won TirpitZ, then a private citizen,
thought the hour was dangerously late" It would thus
appear that submarine warfare was unwise on the two
occasions it was proclaimed and entirely justified on the
one occasion when he favored it and was overruled. The
impression emerges that Won Tirpitzs concern in 1919 was
to shift responsibility to others.
Responsibility Of a different kind attaches to his not
able career as the chief builder Of the German navy.
Here Won Tirpitz bulks large in that expansion of Ger
man power and ambitions which cannot be described SIS
Legitimate, but which nevertheless led to the catastrophe
place in the sun makes a stronger appeal than the curl
ously indirect aims which Won Tirpitz gives as his own
during the decade and a half that Germany girded her.
self to challenge British power on the sea. Challenge, it
would seem. was furthest from his thoughts; at least, in
the sense of war with England. The German fleet was to
be an instrument of peace by making an English attack
upon German trade "a risky venture" He never aspired
to equal tonnage with England. He would have been
quite satisfied with the 80 ratio which Winston Churchill
and Lloyd George were willing to accept shortly before
the outbreak of the war. The failure of the Haldane
negotiations in 1912 was due to the chancellor and his
associates, who kept Won Tirpitz in the dark. It was the
civilians who made the mischief. The Tirpitz policy Of
promoting peace by making it dangerous for England to
take liberties with German interests worked so well that
in 1914. as the admiral sees it, Anglo-German relations
were actually better than they had ever been. If war
nevertheless came. it was largely the fault of Bethmann-
Hollweg.
There is no basic inconsistency between a policy of
building battleships for the purpose of being friends with
Great Britain and a sudden outburst like-"So the old
pirate state, England. has again succeeded in letting
Europe tear herself to pieces" But. on the whole, that
bit OF temper does not reveal Won Tirpitz as living and
working primarily for peace.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
THE FIRST NAVAL SUBSIDY

THE FIRST NAVAL SUBSIDY
On March II, 1894, Congress grant,
ed its first appropriation for the
building of six warships.
This action vas taken after Presi-
dent Washington sent a message to
congress describing the outrages COM
mitted by Algerian pirates on Ameri-
can merchant vessels. Before this
time the country was practically
without q navy. largely from lack of
money.
Work was begun on the six frigates
but ceased when a treaty Of peace was
signed with the Dey Of Algiers. In
his annual address to congress in
December, ITO, the president strongly
recommended laws for the gradual
increase of the navy. Congress,
which was slow to perceive the neces-
sity Of naval defense. grudgingly au-
thorized the president to build, buy
or hire IL vessels only after some
French cruisers had molested traffic
along the coast.
This act was passed On April n,
17ee, and three days later q regular
navy department was created separ-
IT. from the department Of war, Of
which 1t had previously been a part.
benjamin Stoddert Of Georgetown,
q. c.. was made first secretary Of the
navy.

No Cause for Excitement

No Cause for Excitement
Apparently the news from the Dominican Republic is
not worth getting very excited about. There has been, or
still is. a revolution of some sort, but it seems to have
been s~ingularly bloodless. The guns that were fired went
off in the air, and the ~populace of santo Domingo, the
capital, seems we'll satisfied with what has been done.
Time was when the first %rumhlings of such an affair,
however, would have drawn an American squadron to
Santo Domingo, and hard bitten marines would have
been patrolling the streets within "a hours. The govern
ment at Washington evidently has acquired more pa
thence than used to be the case. So far, there seems to
be no earthly reason why the present hands-off policy
should not be continued indefinitely.
You can't make the rising generation rise by calling it
down.

A Hard-Time Drama

Our newspapers never serve us so we'll as when they
present those little dramas of everyday life that make
us pause in our daily routine and give a thought to the
struggles, the sorrows and the defeats of people who are
not as fortunately placed as we arc.
The other day in Philadelphia a man set out to look
for work.
The home that he left that morning was a miserable
little hovel of two rooms. In it remained the mans
wife and three small children, hoping desperately that
he would be able to find some sort of job.
Getting a job was a pressing necessity, because the
famfly's finances totaled just q cents. The man left 10
cents of this with his wife, keeping 9 cents for himself.
Then he set out.
Up and down the streets he walked, all day long, look
ing for work. He went to place after place, and got the
same answer at each place; no help wanted.
You can imagine that as the day wore on the man
did some pretty serious thinking. This was not the first
day he had put in in this way; not by any means. He
had been out of work for a long time. With four people
besides himself to feed, and just q cents in all the world
to do it with, you can see that things must have looked
pretty black to him.
So, as he continued his hopeless quest, he got to think
ing: why not try a holdup or a robbery? Other men do
it, every day, and get away with it. Why not? Any
thing, surely, was better than seeing his family starve
to death.
The longer he walked the more insistent this thought
got. The man tried to put it out of his mind. as he had
alwas been a sober, industrious workingnan; but it kept
coming back, until finally he was afraid that he would
leap at the throat Of the next well-dressed stranger
he met.
So, at last, afraid Of what he might do, he went to a
police station and asked to be locked up SO that he would
not commit a crime.
It is very comforting to be able to relate that the po-
licemen, and the judge before whom they took this man,
proved sympathetic. They took up a purse for him,
and the judge saw to it that a job was found for the
man; and SO he was able to go back to his family with
good news. after all.
But the thing to remember is that although this story
had a happy ending" many, many stories like it do not.
This desperate chap, wondering if it might not be better
to commit a crime than to let his family starve, is not
the only American who has been in that dilemma lately
not by several thousands. 1t pays to keep that thought
in mind.
Remembering that might make us look on some of our
terminals with a little less prejudice. 1t might make
us a little reader to keep cool the next time some agita-
tors lead a group of jobless men into a riot.

low tend to keep one awake. It i.
also a good plan not to use stimulants
of any sort in the evening before re-
firing. This seems simple enough, yet
many people make the mistake of
doing exactly this and then wonder
why they do not sleep.
Sleep may often be induced by
making yourself believe that your
arms and legs feel heavy, and that
your joints r so loose as to be al.

and iron workers union had threatened to 60 on strike
unless a similar increase were given them. For a time
it looked as If a great deal Of construction work would
be held up, at a time when work was very badly needed.
So these two unions acted very sersibly. The bridge
and iron workers voted to call off their scheduled walk
out, and the electrical workers voted not to accept their
wage increase.
These acts have done the whole cause of organized
labor an incalculable amount of good. The men respon-
sik!e deserve a vote of thanks.

Answer: I would advise you tc

~ INCINNATI, January 4 R.-
The outlook is great for boxing
in 1880, with more champions
and less confusion in the sport
than ever before. The National Boxing
Association intends to insist upon activ-
ity by title holders to the end thar
championships will have real meaning
and worth.
AS left over from the old year, fea-
lures of the disputed championship
classes shape UP as follows:
Among the bantamWeightS, AL Brown
is the recognized American champion
with the world title still open. This
situation should be settled as soon as
it is possible to get Brown and Teddy
Baldock, the EngliShman, in the ring
assuming Baldock can make the 49,
pound limit.
The middleweight world title is open,
with no immediate possibility of deter
mining the champion.
The light heavyweight title also is
open, with Make Rosenbloom holding
the position OF leading contender and
Mickey Walker entitled to serious con-
Sideration If he announces his intention
TO abandon the middleWeights.
AlC ltd y Weight WOElu IlLlS Is open,
with Jack Sharkey holding the Ameri-
can championship and Max Schmeling
the opponent necessary to determine
the world title holder.
Association Is Far Flung.
With the coming of the new year the
National Boxing Association finds itself
with a roster OF 80 States, Canada and
Porto Rico as members, with Affiliations
hn all Il,-tNt nI,
Board of Control, Cuban National Box
ing Commission, Commission Mexicana
ce BoXe; also Germany, Belgium, Den
mark, Egypt, Spain, France, Holland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Argentina,
Rumania, Sweden, Switzerland, Trans
vaal and Austria, through the Inter-
national Boxing Union. Complete in
ternational harmony is INSTRUCTED only
by the absence of New York, Massa-
ChuSettS, California and Pennsylvania
from the N. B. A. membership but the
most friendly relations in history ex-
lists with these States, amounting al
most to complete affiliation in the cases
Of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
The wrestling committee of the
N. B. A. will report January Is with
uniform rules to govern this sport. The
definite position Of each class will be
announced before February l and the
champion recognized in each class
whore no possible dispute exists, with
the requirement that each champion
post a forfeit insuring proper titular
defense quarterly. In classes where
dispute exists men will be named for
immediate competition under forfeit
conditions to determine the champion.
The n. B. A. will not tolerate delay or
any probability of continued pursuit of
tactics which have caused criticism of
wrestling in the past.

self to executive duties, Speaker and
Robinson both issued denials that such
a move was contemplated.
Speaker, who is under contract to
manage the Newark club Of the Inter-

Tex, that as far as he knew there was
no foundation for the report.

former Cleveland outfielder, land have

Newark club. I positively have had no
negotiations with Newark regarding
leaving there nor with Brooklyn con-
corning its organization"

At Brunswick, Ga, Robinson char
acterized the report as "stove league
stuff" and said he had heard nothing
of the report.
I'm president and manager Of the
club" Robinson said, land I've heard
nothing about any one else taking over
the managers job"
James P. Sinnott. president Of the
Newark club, entered the picture with
an announcement that he had not been
approached either by Speaker or the
Brooklyn club with the idea of having
the Grey Eagle" released from his con-
tract obligations with Newark
If Brooklyn sought his services"
said the Newark president, "the own
ers certainly would have got in touch
with me-"
According to the published report, the
decision to name Speaker was a COM
promise between the warning factions
which have torn the Brooklyn club with
dissension for several years. Robinson,
backed by the Ebbets heirs, heads one
group, with S. w. McKeever the other.
McKeever opposes Robinson either as
