ROOSEVELT,S PEACE PLEA

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S appeal to
l the world for peace in which he calls
upon nations to pledge themselves not to
send troops across their frontiers, is
highly commendable act and one which
all will hope may have the desired pur-
pose of preventing a new outbreak III
Europe which may involve many nations.
The President asserts that any nation
instituting policy of aggression or IN
vasion toward another will thereby make
it possible for the civilized world to place
the blame for its acts.
His action is similar to that of the
strong and respected citizen who rises
above the clamor of a mob bent on vio-
lence and disregard of the law, dissipat-
ing its potential strength by his own
force of character and compelling it to
disperse through the influence he is able
to WELD over members of the mob VIII
have been misled by its leaders.
1t may seem idealistic to say that
moral force is strong in world torn by
nationalism, economic distress and many
other ills, not the least of which is the al
most universal ignoring of the sound
fundamentals of honesty, sincerity and
mutual respect, but to abandon the great
weapon of morality entirely is to invite
chaos greater than the world has ever
known.
The Presidents proposal is neither
"holier-than-thou attitude, nor an un-
warranted assumption of the power his
country holds in the affairs of the world.
1t is nothing more than statement that
right is right, that peace is right and that
war is wrong, and an invitation to the ma
tions of the world to recognize this truth
and abide by it.

 IN STAR CRAPPLE
 TOMORROW NIGHT

New Haven, Aug. 29-Big Jim Clinstock, 240-pound Osage Indian. has been assigned to wrestie Glenn Mum, rangy Nebraskan, in the main best two falls in three event on Promoter Jim Downing's all- star mat card in White City Sta- dium, Savin Rock, on Friday night. Buck" Weaver goes against the Unknown" in semi-final and the first match goes on at 8:3O.
 Clinkstock, who expects to main- tain his fast-growing reputation for rough mating when he tackles Mum, will be up against fast man and son of an illustrious fam fly of athletes. In fact, state and local fans are hopeful that Glenn will toss his Indian opponent into the fifth row.
 Knows His Stuff.
 In meeting the Unknown" who last week threw two men without leaving the ring, Weaver is tackling a tough foe, but one who does not resort to any rough stuff. The masked one made a good impress sion by virtue of his clean mating in his debut here last week.
 Two fine time limit matches make up the rest of Friday nights mat card. In one, the popular Mike Romano, Italian ace, meets Cort Gabriel, German newcomer, while Vanka Zelesniak, Russia's John Barrymore of the mat. meets Irish Jack Hurley in the other. Popular prices are in order for the show.
