In the Name of Fellowship

The Star tomorrow will launch
another campaign for Merrier
Christmas for the people of Wash
ington. During many years it has
been the duty and the privilege of
this paper to lend its resources to
the end that every resident of the
Nations Capital may have reason
to rejoice in the Yuletide.- 1t under
takes the task because it knows the
needs of the community. The Dis
trict of Columbia has more than its
theoretical share of families to which
the generous hand Of practical
philanthropy must be extended if
the ideal of democratic civilization
is to be justified in the Federal Center
of the United States. Such neighor-
illness is implicit in the American
concept of community life. Espe-
cially at the season when the birth
of the Saviour of Mankind is cele-
brated no man, woman or little child
can be permitted to suffer wilfully
unrelieved or deliberately neglected.
For Christmas 1910 The Star in asso-
citation with the National Broadcast
ing Company and the Warner Broth
ers Theaters again solicits toys for
boys and girls who otherwise might
suppose that Santa Claus had for
gotten them. In the tradition Of
previous years the annual matinees
are to be arranged at a dozen differ
ent playhouses, with the price of ad-
mission as usual to be a new toy. The
date for these entertainments will
be Saturday, December H. Mean
while, both new toys and old may be
left at Warner Theaters at any con-
venient time for distribution to
youngsters patiently waiting for
them.
But The Star, assisted by the
N. B. C. and the Warner organization,
also appeals for money gifts for the
needy families of Washington. The
Council of Social Agencies is setting
up a Christmas Bureau to take care
of requests. Cash contributions
brought or sent to the office OF The
Star will be transmitted to registered
families for food, fuel, clothing,
medicine and other necessities. The
size of each separate family group
will determine the amount of the
allotment. Mothers skilled in the
art Of making single dollar do the
work OF several are to have charge OF
the spending. There will be no over
head, no waste, no duplication.
Naturally, The Star anticipates a
prompt and abundant response. The
spirit of humanity flowers bravely
in the Capital of the United States.
In the name of American fellowship,
then, it safely may be expected that
this Christmas will be as merry as it
possibly can be in an epoch of trouble.

Iron Guurd Anarchy


smeared Green Shirts is a very
ominous portent, not only for Ruma-
mia nor even for the Balkans, but
for all Europe. 1t is no mere political
coup. Rather is 1t an explosion Of
half-insane passions bent on ven
geance and destruction.
To call these Iron Guardists Ger
man agents and let it go at that is
a superficial explanation that en-
tirely misses the point. They un-
doubtedly did take German money
and helped German aims in the
troubled period before Rumania's
capitulation to German pressure.
But the Iron Guard was not a Ger
man creation. 1t arose sponta-
neously as an evil by-product of the
unsound state of Rumanian national
life. German diplomacy used skill
fully a tool already fashioned by
Rumanians themselves.
The Iron Guard began as a protest
against the political corruption, the
economic inefflciency and the social
unhealthfulness which have always
plagued Rumania. Like the other
Balkan countries, Rumania is semi
Oriental land with veneer Of West
ern civilization spread pretty thin.
It's parliamentary life has been more
or less a sham, run by a caste Of
professional politicians, notoriously
venal and closely associated with a
charming but decadent aristocracy,
plus financial and business interests
largely foreign. The illiterate peas
ant masses have had relatively little
to do with running their country.
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, founder
of the Iron Guard, was a half-baked
intellectual" typical of many young
men turned out by the Rumanian
universities, their heads full of ILL
digested Western ideas and with no
scope for their superficial talents.
These young fanatics could see no
way of downing the corrupt die
tatorship of King Carol, his mistress
and his grating partisans except by
terrorism and political murder. The
mass executions of Codreanu and
his followers, conducted in savage
fashion, showed that the government
was, in spirit, little better than the
youths they killed. Neither side was
competent to run Rumania in an
effective, enlightened way.
The lust for vengeance for those
mass executions, conducted Just two
years ago, was probably a major
factor in throwing the Iron Guard
into the arms of Germany, regardless
of consequences to their country If
only they could pull down their
political masters. 1t is equally prob
able that their present berserk out
burst is largely due to sheer despair
and Illustration as they see their
country delivered hand and foot to
German domination. Certainly,
these rioters are not playing the
German game today, whatever they
may have done in the past. Ger
many wants order and efficient pro-
duction in Rumania and would pre-
fer to rule through native puppets
rather than by naked military occu-
patton.
1t is the very aimlessness and plan
lessness of current disturbances
which are most disquieting. Not Or
ganized Communism, but chaotic,
frenzied anarchy, may soon be the
outstanding phenomenon of war
wracked Europe If this gigantic
holocaust goes on much longer.

"New" Dean Is Toast OF Baseball World
Chubby Dean, New
Yankee Beaten,
|Spurned By Champs
BY HARRY FERGUSON
limited Press SnOrtS Editor


New York, April 24.-(UP)-Op
Dir has lost his swift one and Paul
warns the bench, but the name of
Dean ring round the baseball world
today.
It's Alfred Lovill Dean Of the
Philadelphia Athletics they're shout
ing about now, the first baseman
who became a left-handed pitcher
and has set the world champion New
York Yankees on their ears twice in
this infant baseball season. He did
it yesterday with a slick, four-hit
game that sent the once despised
Athletics ahead Of the proud
Yankees in the American League
standings.
He has given the assassins in the
Yankees murderer's row a total OF
10 stingy hits in two games. On
opening day he beat the great Char
lie Rufing, 2 to 1, in 10 innings and
drove in the winning run himself
with a fly to deep left. Yesterday he
got a hit while he was holding the
Yankees to four measly blows, CIV
ing them no runs in nine innings
and showing them into second divi-
sion.
Couldn't Get Job
That should be enough to satisfy
any youngster four years off the
Duke University campus, but the
situation Is even sweeter for Dean.
Because when he decided to quit col
lege and make baseball his career,
he applied for job with the YAM
KEGS. Nobody on the club could see
any merit in the youngster, so Dean
went on down the railroad track
and picked up job with the Ath-
letics. Connie Mack was hiring 'em
fast and often back in 1886 and
wasn't too particular about their
ability.
From 1895 through 1899 Dean did
nothing to indicate that the Yam
KEGS didn't have flawless judgment
when they turned him down. Mack
played him at first base in Ill
games in 1885 and Dean hit .287 and
f1elded none too brilliantly. Next
year the Athletics decided he
wouldn't do as a first baseman and
began to experiment with him as a
pitcher. He got into two games as a
pitcher in 1887 and in only six games
the next year. Last year he worked
In 81 games as pitcher, winning
five and losing eight for an inditfer-
ent earned run average OF 5.23. He
also was used occasionally as a pinch
hitter, but If he hadn't begun to
bloom this season as hurler base
ball wouldn't have held much future
for him.
The kid has a good fast ball and
a battling slow curve that murdered
a Yankee lineup loaded these days
with left handed hitters. The mighty
Charlie Keller almost broke his back
yesterday swinging at and missing
one of Deans crawling curves.
