ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
PUuILlSM I
When Messrs. Jesse Willard and
Frank Moran enter the ring at New
York there will bo more at stake
ttan the purse for which they will
feattle. Even this sum, mounting in
Bite to tho wcllrknown king's ran
som, will not represent what really
depends upon the conduct of this
gladiatorial spectacle. s
The light will offer another chance
for the rehabilitation of prize fight
ing. Once rated among the most
jiopulr of all sports and styled
the manly art, pugilism, through
the machinations of its alleged
friends, came into such disrepute
that it has been barred in most
American commonwealths.
The Willard-Moran bout will be
wnder the direct supervision of the'
Nbwj York State commissioners. It
is the duty of this board to see that
all tho rules and regulations sur
rounding the fight are religiously ad
hered to. To its credit it must be
aid that all of tho preliminary ar
rangements appear to be distinctly
"en.tho level."
If properly conducted the meeting
of Willard and Moran may redound
to the permanent benefit ofpugll
ism; let some untoward incident oc
our, 'a "fake" bo suspected, or the
vast throng become unruly, and prize
fighting will be speedily relegated to
depths from which it will rcq-uire an
other decade to emerge.
MONROE DOCTRINE DUTIES
Some of the most thought-provoking
testimony yet brought out in
Washington this year at any of tho
numerous Congress hearings was
given this week by E. R. Grace, pres
ident of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, before the House Naval Af
fairs Committee.
One of the striking points made by
Grace has an importanco far above
the merely incidental treatment he
gave it. Grace boldly predicted that
most, if not all, the South and Cen
tral American states would become
involved in any war in which the
United States was a participant.
This prediction is not new, but it
comes 'just at this time with author
ity, for probably only tho diplomats
themselves know, more intimately
than the armor makers, the under
currents of diplomacy, which deal
with possible war and its reaction on
international relations.
Grace did not say on which side
our Latin neighbors to the south
were likely to bo found, nor did he
reveal on what he based his predic
tion. It is probable he had in mind
attempts of America's foes to seize,
after war had been declared, portions
of the rich continent now protected
only by the Monroe doctrine from
expansionists. This may be perfectly
true, but to us it seems more likely
that the same Monroe doctrine will
be the primary cause of any war in
volving both the United States and
our sister states to the south.
South America is too tempting a
field for land-hungry nations, urged
pn by the press of over-increasing
population, to neglect forever, if
they see any chance to get away
wjth it Strange it is that consider
ation of this phase of the necessity
fer arming ourselves properly in
time receives so little consideration
in the discussion of preparedness,
for, if there is anything inevitable in
this world it is that those who as
sume intercontinental responsibili
ties must some time be called upon
t support them.
A NEW PARK FOR THE NORTH
' BAST
Widespread agitation for the pur
chase of the Dean estate for use as
public park is well directed. But
ne other item in the District esti
mates should not be neglected. That
fj the recommendation of the pur
chase of tho Patterson tract, in the
northeast section, for $500,000.
As much as any Washingtoniun
would like to sec the historic Dean
ejatato preserved as a park, he who
surveys the relative need of the two
auctions, the rich section about the
former, and the large congested area
qf small homes in the. vicinity of the
Patterson tract, must come to the
conclusion that the northeast need
for a park is much stronger than
that of the northwest.
Within a few blocks of tho Dean
estate is Rock Creek Park. Five or
six blocks to the east is the Mt.
Pleasant playground, at Fourteenth
street and Park road. Even nearer
is the smaller summer playground at
1840 Kalorama road. All about this
section are small parks which afford
breathing spaces.
The entire northeast section has
not a single large park. Nearly a
mile away from the Patterson tract
is Stanton Square. Only one play
ground is to be found in the north
cast, the Rosedalc grounds, nearly a
mile from the Patterson tract.
Even the southeast' is better off
t
than tho northeast when it comes to '
narks arid Dlavffrounds. The north
east development has been rapid, and
the recent polico census indicated
how remarkable that growth has
been. Tho Patterson tract is in tho
path of tho small homo development
and stands an excellent chance of
being cut up into building lots un
less tho Government buys it.
As a problem of the greatest good
to tho greatest number, the invest
ment of $500,000 in tho eighty-one
acres of tho Patterson estato looks
like a better proposition than tho in
vestment of $625,000 in the Dean es
tate. There are tho strongest sort
of reasons whv both nhnntH h. .-
chased, and purchased now. But if
citner purchaso has to be delayed,
and oven if the Dean estate, as
Claimed. WOUld cost morn tiovf in.
the residents of the northeast have a
strong case in their argument that
it id high time n park was forthcom
ing in their, section.
THE ROOSEVELT HOMECOMINQ
Colonel Roosevelt will arrive ii
New York 'some time this evening
from his trip in the. West Indies
and his homecoming is regarded
universally by politicians as likely
to be highly significant. During hi
absenco from tho country the ono
most important political develop
ment was the issuance of his state
ment at Tort of Spain, in which he
mado clear that he doesn't want to
be President of the United States
unless the United States wants him
to be President of it.
Nobody, no score of men, have
done so much sinco the European
war began to impress the Aincricar
people with the weight and serious
ness of their obligations in thit
sadly muddled world as has Theo
dore Roosevelt. He is one man whe
from the ycry beginning has evi
denced a correct realization of the
fact that this country occupies tb,t
nosition of trustee for civilization.
He has endeavored in every possible
way to unify and consolidate the
sentiment of the country. He 1ms
insisted that in such a crisis as the
present, to neglect preparation for
any eventuality, to refuse to realizo
the dangers of our position, to In
dulge a fatuous feeling of security
when there is no such thing as se
curity in this world, is utterly in
excusable. It is perfectly plain that during
the weeks of Colonel Roosevelt's
absence the sentiment in favor of
his nomination as the Republican
candidate has grown by leaps and
bounds. Men who four years, and
three years, and two years and one
year ago would have preferred to
see the Republican party disor
ganized and defeated rather than
victorious under Roosevelt, arc to
day in favor of his leadership. They
recognize it as the only big and
truly national leadership that is
being offered to the country.
In declining to lot his name sro
before the primaries in the various
btates, Colonel Roosevelt has simply
taken the position that he does not
want to lead unless thero is real
and spontaneous demand for him.
The existence and tho widespread
character of that demand can no
longer be questioned even by those
who arc still antagonistic. .The
next few weeks seem certain to
bring political developments of the
very first importance.
THE MEXICAN DANOBR IN
CREASES The beginning of disintegration of
the Carranza military power is
powerfully suggested by the with
drawal of a force of 2,000 of his
vory best troops, and their joining
Villa. It must always be remem
bered that the Mexican soldier, as a
rule, has no particular byalty to a
rniiHp. thnuch he Vine snmi rlnmnn.
tal patriotism that attaches him to
his country. But his real attach
ment is to the military commander
under whom he serves. That is why
the generals arc almost always po
litical generals; the more successful
they may be in their military enter
prises, the more they attach their
men to their personal fortunes, by
just that measure they also become
more important politically.
It becomes a question, then, large
ly of the disposition of n group of
military men. Villa at ono time
seemed the idol of tho military chief
tains, becauso ho was the sort of
dashing commander that won battles
and was quite amiable with regard
to the conduct of his troops; if thr.y
saw something they wanted they
were Jikely to take it and be assured
that no difficult questions would be
asked.
Can Carranza hold his military
chiefs to his cause, as against an
"invasion" by Americans? That is
the, big question right now.
It would be easily enough answer
ed if tho United States were in posi
tion to pour into Mexico an over
whelming and impressive force of
soldiery, which should make the
Mexicans understand that no coali
tion of their factions could possibly
nffcel the ultimate result. But wc
cannot do that. If tho whole army
of 100,000 men that this country
possesses could be hurled across tho
border and rcsistlessly sweep
northern Mexico, there would bo
littlo danger of the Carranzistas de
serting to Villa; their interest in tho
preservation of their own skins
would be the guarantee against such
an event. But, contrariwise, the
United States has a littlo expedition
ary forco that has already been cut
off from communications, and that,
as it advances farther into tho coun
try, will be constantly in increasing
danger from this cause.
It is understood that the situation
is regarded so gravely by the War
Department that the , znllltary
authorities have seriously cbntcm
plated a calf for the militia of the
States. Such a call, of course, will
not be issued until' it is very evident
that tho emergency demands it; but
thecmergency seems to be growing
more serious with every hour.
It is an impressive lesson that tho
country is getting concerning the
necessity of being ready to mako a
show of real power, real authority,
at least on this continent. Wc tiavo
for four years faced a condition in
Mexico from which any 'reasonable
person might have assumed that
some form of ,, intervention would
sooner or later be forced upon us.
For near two years we have viewed
the European conflagration', and yet
thero has been nothing in all this to
inspire serious efforts at prepara
tion for eventualities. Now the
eventualities some of them arc
here, and the country has opportun
ity, if not leisure, to ponder them.
Something real and substantial in
tho way of army expansion must
be provided at the present session of
Congress It will not bo enough to
discuss academic plans for armies
that will be trained in some combi
nation industrial-military school or
institute, after such establishments
shall have been planned and organ
ized. That might provide an army
big enough for a bandit hunt, at the
end of a few years. But Villa is not
going to be so accommodating as to
postpone his enterprises till it Bhall
suit our convenience. He has nicked
the present as quite the most ac
ceptable time to make his bid for
place as a national hero; jind he is
by way of making Uncle Sam a
plenty of trouble.
A WORD FOR THE REVILED
APARTMENT HOUSE
Well, the year's in the spring, the
squirrels arc in the parks, and have
you heard that if the Romans hadn't
lived in apartment houses Gibbon
might have been shy a classic? If
violins hadn't been invented, Nero
might not have fiddled after the
alarm had been turned in.
W Several gentlemen explained to n
ashington audience the other
morning how the apartment house
wended its serpentine way from
Rome northward, skipped over Eng
land, laitddd plump in the United
States, and behold! There are men
in Washington who can't make their
own furnace fires.
To have a home, a la John How
ard Payne, one must expose the four
walls thereof to the breezes, and in
trench the family therein to preserve
its "integrity." Raymond Hitchcock's
"Oh, How I Love My Little Bachelor
Apartment," even with the "bach
elor" left out, is the battle song of
modem decadence.
Now, why, pray, must the head of
a family know how to mako his fur
nace fire? Wo warrant thero nre
women in these safe- npnrtments
who could not run a spinning wheel,
or turn their hnnd to churning but
ter. Feminism has relieved the
woman of thnt drtidgcry, but mnscu-
linism seems not to have held its
own.
One of the speakers went so far as
to attribute the success of Germany
in tho prrscnt wnr to tho fact tint
her families flocked by themselves.
As a strict matter of fact we have
it from other sources that these
Germans hnve conceived, to a
marked extent, the happy thought of
the community apartment house, in
which the dwellers hold stock, and
they may sell this stock to other
tenants when they get out.
Days when the kindling had to bo
cut, the cows to be brought home,
the chores to be done, when one's
face scorched and back froze beside
the open fireplace, have a memory
mellowed by passing years. But
even those who acclaim the value of
these things do not show signs of
reverting to that habit of life.
In factories, stores, industries,
things havo been straightened out,
and efficiency has been gained by co
operation. Why not in tho homo?
Yes, the "home" part of a house is a
spiritual attainment; why should the
dumbwaiter and the janitor bo
such bugaboos of the home bpirit?
Ab a matter of fact they are not.
Home life survives in apartments,
and survives more fully bccauBo of
the irksome duties that need not bo
done. Across n span of years ono
may catch a glimmer of spiritual
significance in attending tp the fur
nace, shoveling the snow, and wash
ing off the front porch; but the
glamour of tho furnace grows colder
as proximity to the glowing coals
grows closer.
Safety first: Hide the' carpet
beater, old man.
Anyway, what's tho us.o? If Eu
rope over gets out of the trenches,
it'll be into a rut.

It Is fair to say that some enlighten

They do not use the worn "repudia

Land Reform Certain.
In England, land reform appears to
be a certainty.
It Is not contended that the Urltlsn
Isles would suppott their population,
agriculturally, except perhaps with the
closest pinching. It Is maintained, how
ever, that a Just distribution or land
would check the tendency toward such
an intense concentration In the cities,
with Its consequent dlsorganlratlon ot
the labor market und frightful condi
tions of uncmploiment which churac-
.tetlzed ante-bellum days.
it Is an old complaint that, witn mil
lions of the Engllshi on the verge of
starvation, huge acres of Vnrt have
born held as game reservations and
parks, in as primitive a slate of uncul
tlvntlon as at the time of the Norman
coiiuiicat.
Htlll other vast tracta have been
formed only by tenants who, while do-i
Ing all the work, were allowed only the
most meager livelihoods, that the land
lords might get the lion's share of the
country products by virtue of nothing
but their monopoly.
In the cities conditions have been nnd
still are the same as in the country,
with only such variations As necessarily
go with urban UM.
Will Have To De Changed.
All this, it Is generally agreed, will
have to be changed with the soldiers'
return homo at the war's end. U la
recognized ll-nt hundred of thousai da
of men who have had a taste of a
broador existence than the old bn. will
not tolorato n return to the former
order of things.
The suggestion most frequently heard
'is that tho landlords will be forced to
tilsose of their great holdings ut iei
conuble prices, ojr some such basis as
the one already prevailing In Ireland.
Othere favor a more or les closo ap
proximation to the Mingle tax.
Taking into account the relief th's
will nn'ect In labor congestion In tho
industrial centers, and tho fact that
thero undoubtedly will be a heavy emi
gration to tho colonies, It lermfi folr
to predict an Immense betterment nt
the macsea lot in poHhellum England.

Billy Sunday Himself
Hits the Sawdust Trail
1JAI.TIMORE. March 21,-BIUy Sun
day, after hurling challengo after chal
lenge to about 150 Johns Hopkins stu
dents who attended the meeting for men
only at the 'tabernacle last night cli
maxed his appeal for convert, climax
ed the meeting, and climaxed his cam
paign here so far by springing rom the
rostrum, plunging down the sawdust
aisle, and "calling the bluff" of some
of those students who promised to lilt
the trail It ho would come for them.
Aa the evangelist himself "hit tha
trail" on his marathon from tjie plat
form, three of the university students
were on their way to greet him. He
rushed past 'these, stood up on a bench
in front of the delegation, at which the
ej es of thousands of men were .turned,
and began waving Tils hand and calling
to the youths to -make good."
Me stood thero for a minute of two,
beside Dr. Howard A. Kelly, tbe Ilcv.
Dr. Henry M. Wharton, and severnl
Pftsonal workers who had preceded
him, and. when he turned five more
,.opklne men marched before him up
the sawdust trail.
They had "made good."
Tho congregation of 14,000 sent up a
galvo of cheers and hanclapplng that
mado the gieal hall thunder and mane
the handful of womon who, despite tha
ushers, .hung about on the outside In
the hope of hearing somothlng. wonder
what had hnppencd. Sunday had singled
cut the Hopkins students from the first,
and leveled hla broadsides of persuasion
nt them fro'.i the moment when, con
cluding his sirmon on tho text "Bo euro
your sins will find you out" he asked
for converts.
"I cnll a strike against tho devil,'
he shouted, "a strike against sin. Who'll
Join mo In a universal strike? Come on,
Hopkins men'"
