the lesson OF his LIE to count him steadily ON
the conservative side Of current political cone
troyersies. -
one Of the easiest and most common perver-
sious Of the washington influence is that based
on his oft-Quoted advice to eighteenth centlry
America to steer clear Of foreign entanglements
and seek safety IN policy Of diplomatic iso-
lation.
How often and how solemnly are his warn
ing words quoted. and in how many different
ways is the weight Of his influence brought to
bear against any steps toward international
cooperation ON the part Of twentieth century
United Statesl Yet washington was giving
advice concerning world conditions OF the
eighteenth century, with which he was compe.
tently familiar, and not concerning the unfore-
seeable conditions Of the twentieth century.
THERE Is no reason to believe that he wished
to fix the foreign policy of his country for
all future time. or that he would have given
similar advice amid the conditions Of today.
Indeed, II We may imagine the disembodied
spirit OF our great frst President still watch

The historical evidence Of this Is abundant
and striking. There were plenty of isolation-
lists in Washinstons day. but he was not one
Of them. Others feared to enter into . league
Of sovereign States and risk the curtailment Of
separate independence, but he actively sup
ported such courageous cooperation. :

supporters Of the league were proposing to bring

Not the "de-bunkers," but the patriotic

the contrary, the boldest of experimenters. and
to regard them anything else Is to malign
their motives and mislead their present-day
admirers.
The influence Of washington for instance,
has often been perverted by anniversary ora

written early in the nineteenth century. when

Manush Breaks Loose.

TN THE seventh Manush greeted
i winegarper, the new pitcher,
with a triple, only to be run down
when Stone bounced to the pitcher
after Cronin had looked at a third
strike But singles by Schultz and
Travis sent Stone to the final base.
Myer was on the middle base with
two gone in the eighth when Manush
thumped his second triple. Heinie
carried in the second score of the
round as Cronin hit for a base.
Three times after their scoring
round the Indians had their first
batter up in an inning get on the
runway. Weiland opened the third
with single, but never left first base.
Rice began the sixth with a one
baser and, following Knickerbocker's
sacrifice, Averill walked. But Vosmik
banged into a double-play. Rice
started the eighth with a walk.
Knickerbocker took a third strike,
then Sam was waved to second when
Thomas baked.
But Thomas took good care Of
Averill and Vosmik. And though two
of the Indians managed to get on In
the ninth, the inning was just
breeze for him. He had all pitcher
needs.
