Britannia's Daughters.

When Vice Prime Minister BALDWIN
was introducing the Indian home rule
bill in the House Of Commons last
week he referred to the unwisdom of
the Great Britain of 1776, whereby the
American colonies we're lost to the
crown, and suggested that the policy
of enlightenment now being adopted
toward India is being invoked by
Britons who do not intend to be vic
tins of such foolhardiness as distin-
guished the imperialism of George III
and Lord North.
The outside world is not generally
aware of the extreme independence
enjoyed by the daughter nations which
today constitute the British Common
wealth. They say and do about what
they please. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether John Bull would fire shot
to keep within the framework of the
empire any one of them that cared of
its own free will to secede and 60 1t
alone, though he would fight, of course,
to prevent its detachment by an
invader.
South Africa has just indicated in
graphic terms how wide degree Of
liberty and self determination a SOW
ereign unit of the British Empire en-
joys. Addressing the imperial press
conference at Capetown, Defense Min
lister Prov stated unequivocally that
South Africa is not prepared to par
ticipate IN any general scheme for i'm
perial defense. She thinks that war,
like charity, begins-and ends-at
home.
Today he asserted, when we are
in the fullest sense masters of our own
destiny, I can say without fear Of con-
tradiction that there is no anti-British
feeling in South Africa. At the same
time, with our experience of the past,
if war broke out and any government
we're to attempt raShly to commit us
to participation In another overseas
war there would be large-scale dis
turbances and possibly even civil war -
Referring to the British Navy, the
South African minister declared: "Its
object in the first place is not to pro-
tect us, but to protect British ships
and trade. The purpose of our own
coastal defenses is to make it as diff
cult as possible for any enemy to land
on our shores" Then Mr.. Prov ex-
planned that South Africa is concen-
trating on an air defense that will give
it a hundred per cent guarantee
against attack at any time"
Leaving on one side the argument
that the British Navy has no value
for South African defense-a theory
that would be untenable under any
number Of conceivable circumstances
the point is that Britain's daughters
nowadays are so irnpregnated with the
sense of nationhood that they openly
and without any challenge on the part
Of the mother country, proclaim them
selves utterly free agents, which, in
fact, they are. Who was it who said
that government governs best that
governs least? That is Mother Britain
MAS system with the far-fung pos
sessions" on which the sun is said
never to set.

Anvil Chorus.

Anvil Chorus.
Perhaps, oh friend, as Joy departs,
You think, with fading glee,
That when an anvil chorus starts
The anvil you must be.
But when the hammers deftly poise
To thrill you through and through
That, after all, the great big noise
Is really made by you.
Though sparks may fly at every strok'
You stoutly wait for more.
One hammer may, perhaps, be broke,
But others are In store.
AS patiently you view the past
1t surely must disclose
One honest anvil may outlast
A million hammer blows.

whether we can actually develop sub
stitutes for these on commercial
scale. Some authorities high in the
chemical industry hold that chem
istry can develop new sources Tor all
these necessities or discover processes
that will make it possible to utilize
low-grade supplies. Moreover, they
claim. these chemical substitutes will
not necessarily be cheap and de-
ceptive limitations, but will have cer-
tain advantages over the natural sup
plies because they can be made to
maintain the same quality, thus per-
mitting industry to foretel results
with them.
This is one side Of the question.
On the other side, reports received
from Government representatives
abroad, notably in Germany, indi-
cate that the efforts on the conti-
nent of Europe to utilize synthetic
substitutes for raw materials have,
more often than not, proved failures,
both from the viewpoint Of quality
and cost of production.

League and Japan Now
Preoccupying Britain
BY A. G. GARDINER.

LONDON, February 9.-In the
larger sphere of world politics two
problems are becoming increasingly
the preoccupation of the students OF
affairs and tendencies, especially in
this country. They are concerned
with two questions which have an
intimate relation to each other and
which together have a profound bear
ing upon the future course Of British
policy.
The problems are those of the
League Of Nations and Of the British
attitude to Japan. And in this con-

Capital Sidelights
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Representative Josh Lee of Okla
homa carries the middle name
Bryan" after 1.-THE Great Commoner," I"
William Jennings Bryan. His father
was DR.. Thomas Jefferson Lee, named
after illustrious Virginia forebears.
Josh" himself Is well known as an
orator. In 1915 he won the national
collegiate oratorical championship and
has since won acclaim as a lecturer
and public speaker. Since he got
out of the military service at the close
of the World War with 10 months
| experience overseas, he has been head
of the public speaking department of
the University Of Oklahoma.
He has inserted in the permanent
record of Congress tribute to Robert
E. Lee, which will be widely read by
Southerners especially and by all who
admire military genius great In de-
feat as in victory" He recalls that
one Of Lees ancestors was a cru
| sader who bore arms with Richard
the lionhearted. Another was COM
panion of King Charles II. His own
father was Governor Of Virginia
Lighthouse Harry" Lee, the un-
quenchable fame Of the American
Revolution.
"As a military genius Lee was
without a peer" says Representative
Lee, 'outnumbered always, outgen-
| eraled never In the last days OF
the Civil War for every man who
followed Lee four faced him." He
quotes the English historian Hender-
son: Lees victory with $4,000 men
over Hooker with 10000 was the
most brilliant of the nineteenth CEN
tury."
A new member of Congress from
Delaware has already made an envi-
able record in his happiest pastime-
helping young men to develop strong
and self-reliant bodies. Representa-
tive John G. Stewart is the head Of a
| general contracting concern and has
made pretty good money. but he is
proudest Of helping his fellow man
Some years after he graduated from
college the athletic affairs of the Uni
VerSity of Delaware were in sad con-
dition and rapidly growing worse-so
he interested himself and in nine years
so built them up that they took team
to Annapolis in 1881 and were barely
beaten by the Navy team with all It's
traditions. At college he had played
half back, was an outfielder and a
pitcher Of sorts" But he was always
interested in amateur boxing and be-
longed to all the clubs that periodi-
cally were organized in Wilmington
the Imperial, Olympia. keystone and
other clubs. He served on the Della
ware State Athletic Commission since
its organization in March, 1881. Gov
c. D. Buck wouldn't sign the boxing
bill until Stewart agreed to take a
place on the commission.
He has always fostered boys clubs
and community clubs, cross-country
running and anything that builds up
the physique Of young manhood.

Conference Lead to Be al

Lafayette.

BW 4 ines = DffINA
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 14-Illi-
nois, the only team that has been
able 70 defeat Purdue this Season,
will make a real bid to remove the
Boilermakers from the co-leaderShip
with Indiana in the Big Ten bas-
ketball race here Saturday night in
a game packed with spectacular
possibilities.
Already holding a 1886 verdict
over the Boilermakers as the re-
suit of a wild finish in the first meet
ing the two quintets at Champaign,
the Illini, who have suffered only
two Big Ten defeats so far this sea-
son. will seek to renew their still
robust title hopes with a duplica-
ton of their earlier feat.
Back from their eastern Jaunt
where they accumulated victories
over Fordham and Temple, the Boil
ermakers will depend on their speed
and we'll balanced scoring power in
an effort to even up with the Illini
as they head into the last half OF
their unusually strenuous card.
Whirlwind finishes for victory
have become a part of Purdues
stock. for in three of their last five
games, the Boilermakers have come
from behind in the closing minutes
to change defeat into victory.
However, despite Purdue's reputa-
ton for last-minute rallies, the Boil
ermakers realize only too well that
Illinois can more than match their
comback power, for in the first
meeting between the two quintets
Purdue was leading 90 to 10 in the
second half, only to have Craig
Rubys crew pull the game out OF
the fire.

Legislative Bill to Extend
Playing Time Appears
to Be Defeated.

Perennial increases which have
brought record fields in recent state
high school basketball tournaments
may establish another mark when
the deadline for entries for the
1885 event is reached tomorrow.
The field Of 773 teams-9276 certi-
fed players-of last year bettered a
record entry Of I'll teams which
competed in 1888. In 1882 a total
Of 767 teams were entered.
No Official Estimate
Commissioner Arthur L. TreSter
of the Indiana High School Athletic
Association would make no estimate
today of the number of teams eX-
pected to compete this year.
Entries have been coming in
steadily for several days, however,
indicating a large field. Tomorrow
is the dead line.
Several entries have been re-
jected each year because of late ar
rival Cory and Adams Township
we're declared ineligible to compete
last year. Linden, Sunman. Spice
land, Lakeville and Burns City en-
tries were rejected in 1888.
Local Play Feb. %
The deadline for entries is the
first important date in the state
tournament chronology. Schedules
for sectionals, regionals and finals
will be drawn Feb. p and an
nounced the following day.
Sectionals will be played March
l and in "a centers, with the sur
vivors moving to regional COMPETE
ton March 9. The finals will be
played here March 1915. The In
dianapolis and Gary sectionals will
start on Thursday night, Feb. %, by
special permission.
Another attempt to extend the
playing schedule of the tournament,
through a bill introduced in the
State Legislature, apparently has
been defeated. Sponsors of the leg
iSlation urged that the finals be
extended to three days.
Each school is permitted to enter
