NEWS REVIEW

difficult it will be for him to in
wade England, for Time is still
that cOuntry's most valuable and
effective ally.
There was time when many per-
sons thought that the war would be
ended in the course of few months.
That belief has been abandoned, for
all signs point toward enduring con-
flict, and one nowadays hardly ever
hears any reference to peace posi-
bilities fact, peace has, it would
seem, become something obnoxious
something that simply isn't talked
about.
u. S. and War.
Yesterday the military authorities
of the United States registered mil
lions of men for possible military
service. That does not necessarily
mean that they will soon be called
out for active warfare, but it is
precaution, attracting attention be-
cause it is the first time that this
country has ever resorted to peace
time CONSUMPTION.
Unpleasant as the procedure no
doubt appears to many persons, it
really amounts merely to a nation
al insurance policy, and the expert
ence of other nations has shown that
CONSUMPTION is in itself not a con-
tributing cause of war.
Presidential Spoocb
While, of course, in turbulent times
like these, there is always a posi-
bility of the United States becoming
involved in the war, calm observation
shows that whatever danger may ex-
list is pretty remote, for the reason
that there is not now any nation
powerful enough to venture an at
tack on the American republics.
A few days ago President Roose-
welt discussed the attitude of the
Americas in speech which was
broadcast to all the world.
He did not now anticipate any
aggression against the countries
of the western hemisphere, but
he did maintain that the United
States is in duty bound to help
the British in their fight for de-
mOcracy. That did not, according
to the President, mean that this
country would go to war for
sake of Britain, but whatever
support has been extended to
that empire would be continued,
he said, and he made it quite
certain that as far as the Ameri-
can government could help it,
there would be no dictatiOn force
full enough to prevent such sup
port being given.
The Presidents speech was not a
threat. 1t was merely a warning, a
reiterated declaration that the United
States has no warlike designs.

Noble birth is an accident, but
noble action is an acquisition.
Most arguments are the worlds
prize exhibits of wasted energy.
All real success is built on failures.
Those who are not discouraged by dis
couragement are the only sure win

1T WOULD BE SMART TO ELECT
NEW MEN TO THE LEGISLATURES
Park Region EchOl

(fuk region EcnO)
A Minneapolis attorney writing to
the Star-Journal says that in AZ years
of law pratice he has represented half
dozen loan sharks and has had the
cases of scores of borrowers from such
loan companies, but he has never had
a case where more than 40 per cent
interest was shown. Instances where
higher rate than that has been
charged, he says, are very few, and are
an exception to the general rule.
Yet the Stassen legislature legal
lied an interest rate for loan shark
companies of SO per cent and the
governor continually upholds that
loan shark rate in his radio talks!
Roy Dunn, Republican national
committeeman knows better, however,
than to defend the Loan shark law, the
old folks homestead lien law, the
reorganization act with its $4,000 and
$1,000 salaries for few big shots and
starvation wages for the clerks and
stenOgraphers. He announced Sat-
urday that the coming legislature will
take up all of those laws and correct
the errors that have been found in
them the past two years.
That sounds good. But we have a
notion that if Minnesota folks are to
get these changes it would be safer to
send new men to the legislature. The
representatives who were in the legis-
lature that wrote those laws demon
strated that they were under the gov
ernor's thumb. The governor insists
that the laws are perfect, and he will
be able, to make those same legis-
lators keep their hands off his pet
laws, if he is reelected.
People who don't approve of those
laws as they are now will be smart sif
they vote to keep the legislators who
wrote them at home.

I thought 1 knew from my own
experience something bout the
power of the great combination of
private utility companies. I knew
their activities in prior campaigns.
I knew they had participated in cleo
tons, from road overseers, fro m
school districts, up to the office of
the President of the United States.
But even l had doubted whether
this great machine, spreading into
all parts of the United States, would
have the effrontery to put forward
one of its own magnates as a candi-
date.
I knew the power of this great
machine. I knew how it had in
fluenced the election or the defeat
in every neighborhood in the United
States of all public officials who had
anything to do either directly or in
directly with private utilities. 1 never
doubted its wisdom or its shrewd-
ness. Yet, it was difficult for me to
realize that this great combination,
this great monopoly, would come out
into the open for once and make a
national attempt not only to control
a political party but to dominate the
Government of the United States.

After the holding companies held
practically the entire United States
within their grasp, they formed a

nominated for the Presidency in the
Republican National Convention in
Philadelphia, was one of the trustees
of the Edison Electric Institute.
Last year, Mr.. Willkie appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs and testified in con-
nection with the bill permitting the
purchase by the T. V. A. of the prop
critics of the Tennessee Electric Power
Co. Although the original bill per-
hitting this sale was necessary for
him to get his pay for the sale of the
Tennessee Electric Power Co. proper
ties, he criticized the proposal made
during the hearings that the T. v. A.
be permitted to pay money in lieu
of these taxes lost by three or four
of the counties in Tennessee, North
Carolina, and Georgia. 1t is inter-
esting to know that although the sale
of these properties to T. V. A. left
it powerless to pay these taxes I'M
less Congress enacted a law permit
ting it, Mr.. Willkie, in his testimony,
referring to these counties which
would be deprived of tax money on
properties he owned, in event of their
sale to T. V. A., said

Cards Hopeful of Overcoming
St. AnseIm's Minus MCLEAN

Hank SAINT Ambrogio still Is out
with injuries. but is expected to re-
turn to backfeld duties next week.
The Cards were no disappointment
to Bergman in losing to Detroit,
1870, last week. They did about as
well as he expected, but he is looking
for improvement this week and has
tuned the c. U. offense toward that
goal.
The squad was given campus

made numerous promises to thump
st. Anselms. The following play

Former Irish and Oklahoma
Stars May Annoy Redskins
In Clash With Cardinals

at the hands of the Detroit Lions
last Sunday, following a 3l-6 whip
ping by the Packers the week
previous, have left the Cards a trif1e
groggy, but they still sport the best
pass-defense record in the league.
AS a whole, however, the Chicagos
defense record is not so hot, as only
one team, the Philadelphia Eagles,
has yielded more points.
Marshall Backs Wrong Horse.
The Redskins haven't been exactly
masters of the Cardinals in their
all-ti series, for in nine games the
Indians have won only five, while
losing three and tying the other.
Last years 28-7 Redskin massacre of
the Cardinal team, then coached by
Ernie Nevers, evened the series at
one-all since the Redskins became
Washington team.
There's one little item we forgot
to mention in portraying the Cards
new players. Earlier in the week
George Marshall said: Tell the fans
about Bobby Kellogg, the Cardinals
rookie halfback from Tulane. There
are lot of Tulane fans in Washing
ton and they ought to know about
him. He's a whiz, I hear"
Well, here's the only thing we
could find out about Kellogg. An
Associated Press dispatch from Chi
cago yesterday stated that Conzel-
man had asked waivers on two play
ers-Bob Wood, an end from Ala
bama, and, you guessed it, Kellogg.

Maryland Cooking Up
Something Hot for
Virginia Game
Just What Ii Will Be
Is Not Clear Even
To Terp Coaches

This isn't for publication, Of course,
but Virginia had better keep an
eye or Joe Murphy. Mearle DuVan
and Jack Gilmore Saturday when
it helps Maryland manufacture the
annual homecoming fracas at COL
lege Park because the Terps' board
of strategy is cooking up something
around this trio. =
Virginia Is going to see more
leather than shoemaker in passes,
1t is well aware, and it is fairly
certain it will have to flag down
Murphy once or twice during the
afternoon, but beyond that it is COM
pletely in the dark concerning Mary
lands offense.
The Terps themselves aren't cer-
tain what they'll show but you can
take Jack Faber's word it'll be far
better than anything they had for
Hampden-Sydney and Penn.
No Time for Offense.
"Offense?" repeated Faber yester-
day. TO tell you the truth we've
been so busy trying to stop these
teams we haven't had much chance
to work on our offense but I think
you'll see a noticeable improvement
Saturday. Everybody knows we
would like to shake Murphy loose
or complete couple long passes
but figuring a way of doing it Is
quite a problem. Virginia has a
good defensive team, I hear. de-
spite the two touchdowns scored on
it by Yale"
Murphy-they're calling him the
Kid in the iron pants because of his
| yeoman work thus far-might keep
Virginia's secondary busy with a wee
bit OF blocking. Against Hampden-
Sydney and Penn he couldn't get by
his own interferers. They couldn't
or wouldn't cleave a hole for him
but insisted on running parallel to
the sidelines where Murphy either
was chased out of bounds or finally
caught in a bad traffic jam and
thrown for no gain.
Rigby Also Packs Speed.
| NOW II Maryland can devise way
of getting Lii Joe out in front of the
interference, by tossing a short pass
| to him in the flat-or even a long
one down field for example. the
Terps have the problem licked
Maryland doesn't have to depend on
Murphy for sheer speed for Rigby
has it to burn but the boys can't
shake Elmer loose. either. In
broken field travelling on his own
Murphy is the better man. He has
a change Of pace, a good stiff arm
and hips that would make an eel
envious.
All week Maryland has been drill
ing on passes with noticeable i'm
provement. DuVall was throwing a
sharper ball yesterday, not the light,
fluffy kind so easy to intercept. But
Mearle will be no lone wolf Satur-
day. Both Murphy and Gilmore
have been warming up in the bull
pen, so to speak, and will be ready
to pitch against the Cavaliers.
That's what makes 1t difficult to fig
ure Maryland's plans 1t may be
the Terps are planning a triple pass
or double forward and lateral. Fa-
Der won't say but it's certain that
Maryland is going out to raise merry
hob with Virginia, win, lose or stale
mate.

By BILL DISMER, Jr.

They don't possess the fame OF
Ki Aldrich, Gaynell Tinsley nor
Marshall Goldberg. but three for
mer Notre Dame players and a
quartet of Redskin Bob Seymour S
ex-teammates at Oklahoma may
make the Chicago Cardinals some
thing more than setups at Griffith
Stadium Sunday.
Listed as starters in the Cardinal
line are a pair of Joes, Belnor and
Kuharich, who played tackle and
guard for the fighting Irish" last
wear. while another of Elmer Lay
dens pupils, Mario Tonelli, is re-
garded as the Cards No. l fullback.
Currently, Tonelli is the leagues
seventh best ground-gainer with 1l6
yards to his credit and an average
of 80.
Present Two Expert Passers.
In Beryl Clark and Hugh Nc
Cullough, of Oklahoma, however,
Coach Jimmy Councilman has the
sixth and eighth most effective pass
ers of the loop to date. Clark, who
played side by side with Seymour
in the SoonerS' backfeld last year,
has completed u of 26 passes for
46 per cent average, while Nc
Cullough, who graduated the year
before Clark and Seymour, is throw
ing for a percentage of "a. Nc
Cullough played pro football last
year with Pittsburgh, being obtained
by the Cardinals in a trade.
The Cards also have a pair of ends
from Oklahoma, Alton Coppage and
John Shirk, although only the for
mer is listed as starter. That's
excusable, inasmuch as the Cards
have a rather competent Mr.. Tins
lev to cover the other flank. Tins
ley, it is remembered all too well, is
the guy who ran away with three
touchdown passes, to beat the Red
skins, 21-14, one night here three
years ago during the second game
of the Redskins first season in
Washington. Apparently Tinsley-
an All-America at L. S. U. and all
league end his first two years in pro
balls up to his old tricks, for Don
Looney of the Eagles is the only man
to have caught more passes than the
former Louisiana star thus far.
Tinsley dropped out of the game last
year to coach.
The Cardinals line still is built
around Tony Blaine, the 1885,
pound dean of the forwards who is
in his sixth season with the team.
He is, in fact, the only one of the
starting line who has played more
than a year with the team, barring
Tinsley.
