WAR ANYWHERE HURTS US

There are very few people in the
United States who fail to recognize that a
war in Europe will mean loss and damage
to this country and eventually suffering on
the part of our people if the struggle over
seas is prolonged
About the only answer to the danger
that has been suggested is that we in
sulate the United States and all that this
means is that we will accept such losses
without making any attempt to avoid
them.
The general opinion today is that this
country will manage, somehow, to keep
from becoming embroiled in general
European battle, but in this view we have
little confidence. The forces that impelled
us into the last vortex will be at work
again and, sooner or later, in any war of
long duration, the chances are that the
United States will get into it.
If this is so, or if it is even likely
then it behooves American citizens to give
some thought to the adoption of measures
that will tend to prevent war in Europe
1t is much better, it seems to us, to do
something to preserve peace than to wait
until war breaks out and then debate the
national course.
We would not, at this time, suggest
an alliance with European democracies be-
cause public opinion in the United States
would not countenance the dispatch of
soldiers abroad. At the same time, it seems
entirely reasonable that the nations of
Europe might as well know very plainly
oEhW'e this country stands in regards to
Sgovefnmental evolution and how strong is
our allegiance to the world cause of demo.
leratic government.

CHURCHES CONTINUE TO GROW

During 1886 the religious groups in
the United States showed gain in mem
bership, according to the annual statistics
compiled by The Christian Herald, which
submits the figures as direct contradic-
ton to pessimists who claim the churches
have lost ground
Membership statistics and reports of
contributions for religious purposes show
that churches have grown throughout the
depression years and continued to forge
ahead so far as such figures can indicate
or reflect spiritual growth .gfe
In 1896, the total membership of all
denominations and rligious bodies in the
United States was 63,493, 036, gain of
837, 404 over 1885. The Catholics remain
the largest single denomination, with TO-
$751; 39 communicates. The Baptists lead
the Protestant denominations, with TO-
32,005 members. In gains for the year,
the Catholics, with 221,837. are ahead al
though the Baptists gained 140,3O8, the
Reformed Church gained 1888, the
Lutherans 43,9O5, the Methodists 41,798,
the Unitarians 38,O26, the Protestant
Episcopalians 1,193, AMI the Presbyterians
6,507.
The figures show that church mem
bership showed gain of 1.33 per cent,
while the population of the country gain
ed only I'll per cent. For ten years, the
average gains in church membership has
been LES per cent, while the average
population increase has been only 80 per
cent.

CONCENTRATED POWER

In their book, Modern Corporation
and Private Property the authors Berle
and Means estimate that of 100000 non
financial corporations one-half had been
concentrated into the control of only 200
corporations. not to consider the portion
indirectly controlled by these same groups.
Look at the banking situation. Twen-
ty-four large banks. thirteen in New York
City. control nearly one-third of the total
resources of the 1888 banks in the coun-
try. Each of these twenty-four report as
sets exceeding S350.000,0OO.
From viewpoint of management.
The two hundred big corporations are man.
aged by less than 1000 directors and, of
ficers The twenty-four banks. have les
than 500 directors. Then. there are inter-
locking directorates and many bank di-
rectors serving on various corporate boards.

FISHING
(AccOrding to
IzGGk WOLtOn)

It won't be long now before you
can make a good catch Of channel
bass on the North Carolina coast
or sink your hook into a Chesa-
peake Bay hardhead. We expect
report any day.
Fishing Creek, in Frederick
county, Md, was well stocked with
large brook, brown and rainbow
trout last Saturday. Your scribe
witnessed the planting and can
vouch personally for the size and
quantity. We even caught one of
those mastodonS and it measured
16 inches in length, 81a inches in
girth and weighed nearly two
pounds. We also landed one brown
trout and seven assorted native
brook and rainbow trout. Capt.
Fred Kochli, of Chevy Chase, had
a good catch Saturday evening
after the stream wss stocked. He
bagged three 14-inch rainbows and
two other legal fish,
Cottie Willard can accommodate
Washington anglers at his camp.
The stream is now in good shape
for fly fishing and good matches
Of insects are out daily. Hunting
Greek and Middle creek have also
been reStocked.
Pennsylvania streams now take
on an important aspect for our
local anglers as the Governor has
signed the bill permitting Sunday
fishing. We have favored such
legislation for many years. With
an efficient staff of wardens this
measure should be a valuable
source of revenue to the ConSer-
walton Department.
Last Thursday and Friday we
visited Virginia streams for the
opening of the trout season. We
caught our limit both days and
landed an 11-inch native" brook
as top fish. All were taken on dry
flys despite cold, rainy, and
windy weather. We feel that the
section between Sperryville and
Criglersville is about the best nat
ural trout water in the State ex-
cept for a few streams around
Tazewell in the southwest corner
of the State.
We go on to add that those Vir.
ginia native trout are plenty
smart and as surely as an angler
shows himself. he will get pole
kittied." The Rose. Robinson and
Rapidan Rivers are close together
near Criglersville, and are well
stocked.
Another item of interest, we be-
lieve, is the fact that any conserva-
lively colored fly, regardless Of pat
tern, is effective in catching trout.
if you cast it properly and are well
hidden from the fish. This should
explode some old theories, but we
stand behind our statement.
The old Potomac is daily pro-
ducing catches of white perch; ;
get out a light casting or fly rod
and try your luck. Bloodworms
and garden worms are the best
lures.

Vines and Perry
Arrive inD.C.
Tomorrow

Considerable interest has been
aroused over the return tennis
match Wednesday night at
Richie Coliseum, College Park,
Md, between Ellsworth Vines,
world professional champion, and
Fred Perry, world amateur title
holder, and officials are expect
ing another damned crowd.
Vines and Perry are expected
in town tomorrow from Buffalo,
and a number Of entertainments
are being planned by friends in
their honor. The British En-
basSy is due to honor their most
famous tennis son, Perry, and
will be well represented at the
Coliseum matches.
Demand For Tickets
Through Saturday there has
been quite a demand for tickets
and reservations. They may be
procured at Hecht Company,
AAA, Keystone Club, Spalding's,
Maryland University and Sport
Center. Tickets are priced at
$1.65.
Thus far Vines and Perry in
their CoaSt-to-CoaSt swing have
engaged in Al matches, and Vines
is running true to form with %
victories. Perry hopes to catch his
elongated transforming compan-
ion BY the time May 3 rolls around.
That night they are to clash at
Madison Square Garden, and q
few days later will sail for London
where a European tour has been
arranged for them.
The rise of Vines to the pin
nacle of tennisdom was so meteo-
ric that one is inclined to forget
that he has his downs" as well as
his ups" on the way. Vines
progress was like the hating
march of civilization.
Had His Downs
He took two steps forward and
one backward. In 1880 he ap-
peared at Brooklyn, a kid Of 18
resembling the hero of Ring Lard
ner's You Know Me, All" stories
He entered the Sea Bright final
the next week, and Sidney Wood
trimmed him 60, 60, 60
Even BitSy Grant beat him at Rye
and Lyttleton Rogers in the ma
tional championship. Yet within
a year he had captured the Amer.
