VOICE OP WISDOM
I think the whole nation Is eonrlnoed that
we ought to be prepared not for war, but
for defense, and very adequately prepared,
President Wilson to the Naval Advisory
Board.
THE President might have made this
statement stronger by omitting the first
two words. The whole nation Is convinced.
The antl-preporatlonlsts aro so few that they
can be compared with nothing greater than
the three tailors of Tooley street. They say
tljut preparedness means war and pot peace,
as though an adequate fire department In a
cty Increased the danger of fire.
Responsibility Is educational, and few men
on whom the duty of preparing for the de
fense of their country has been laid have
-failed to rise In some way to the occasion.
This Is a very practical world, nnd lts'work
must be carried on with the tools at band,
even when we know that In the distant
future some ono will Invent a better tool.
Theorists and Idealists are all very well in
their place, but that place Is not In the seats
Of power when the worjd Is in flames.
The country expects the President to lm
press upon Congress the wisdom of reason
able and Intelligent preparation, and to se
cure Its Indorsement of such plans as he and
ls advisers are perfecting.
RILEY, REAL AMERICAN
THERE are poets' poets and tljen there
are real poets. Only a highly specialized
lass eaa appreciate the one, but every one
wftfe any human emotions can understand
ths ether, But, curiously enough, the poets
dteMyered James Whltcomb Riley, whom
IaeWanapoUs honored at a public dinner last
nlsjtet after the Btate'had honored him all
day, before he was discovered by the pub
Heat large.
Tit Interesting distinction of Riley Is that
ns jnver tried to write One poetry. He sim
ply fried to put Into verse the things that he
saw and felt. He Is not like those who
tafea earo of the sound, thinking that the sense
wfll take care of itself, nor did fie moke
the mistake of giving so much attention to
ths sense that the sound was Inharmonious.
H gift for musical versification Is equal to
his insight Into the heart of life itself. Best
of all, he Is an American, and wrote of the
ceptiBon things all about him, which he
joase) said were Just going to waste for lack
ef attention.
ARTFUL DODGERS

a moral offense, according to the ex

CONSPIRACV OF TREASON
pENEpiCT ARNOI.D was despised even
-' by the British whom ho sought to servo
In betraying the cause of tho Revolutionists.
The traitor merits tho universal contempt
that he receives.
Arnold was not tho only man who sought
to betray n representative and frco govern
ment to Its enemies. Several of them were
discovered In Terre Hauto a few months ago
and the guilty are now serving terms In
prison. They sought to rob tho majority of
the right to elect tho men who should servo
them In public omce. They accomplished
their purposes by fraudulent registration and
fraudulent voting. Indianapolis Is now seek
ing to punish traitors of tho samo kind, arid
moro of them havo been discovered In Pitts
burgh. They havo been active In Philadelphia this
year, It Is estimated that 2B.00O fraudulent
names have been put on tho voting rollt
by the same men who wero responsible for
tho 6000 fraudulent names that wcro erased
from tho rolls two years ago. Tho Com
mittee of Seventy and the poltco dopartment
are working together to purge the lists and
to Insure that tho men who aro plotting
treason to popular government shall fall of
their purpose.
Every honest man In the city, whether ro
be attached to the Organization or not,
should co-operato with those seeking to pro
vent fraudulent voting on November 2. Who
ever tries to hinder them thereby proves
that he Is a dangerous citizen and a party
to tho contemplated assault upon tho purity
of the ballot-box.
WAR CENTRE SHIFTS
ONE year and seventy-two days after the
first German siege gun was trained
against tho forts of Llego the war Is shifted
violently from its centro and tho great
Austro-Qerman drive to Constantinople be
gins. When that new centre Is established
tho war will at lost bo on Its way homo.
The violation of Belgium and the Invasion
of France wore strategic moves In a war
against England and Russia for tho control
of Constantinople. The ancient dream
Berlin to Bagdad Inspires and directs each
move of German weltpolltlk. Constantinople,
not Calais, Is tho great objective.
It must be understood that the Austro-Ger-man
force that Is now Invading Servia, which
will pass, If t is successful, through Bulgaria,
and will meet what is left of the Allied forces
on the fields of Galllpoll that expedition Is
not In any sense a relief expedition. It Is
not to save Constantinople, but to win It, that
the German arms aro ready to hack their
way through all of lower Europe Allied or
enemy to the Turk, tho armies which are suc
cessful at Bed-El Bohr will thunder at the
gates of tho Golden Horn.
Tho shifting of centre comes opportunely
for Germany when her petition In the west
ern theatre Is, for the first time, shaken and
perhaps untenable. Rejoicings In Berlin over
tho failure of the allied drive turn out" to bo
somewhat premature. Yesterday Joftro's
guns swept the Basancourt-Challernnge Rail
way, upon which the German positions in
Champagne depend. If the LMe-Douat-St.
Quentjn Railway can be so dominated, the
long struggle on French soil will bo disas
trously ended for the Invaders.
Yet for Germany the war may have only
Just begun. Invasion of her territory is still
In the realm of fancy. Her strategists believe
she can engage Russia and Bcrvla, can bold
the eastern front and proceed southward to
Iter golden goal. She could then present Con
stantinople to her vassal Bulgaria and end
the war a victor, though she lose Alsace and
leave Belgium pnly a b)tter memory of futile
wrongs. But her strategists my be mis
taken. JOHN L. REDEEMS A BELT

IN THE EARLY
DAYS OF BASEBALL
When the Grand Old Game Was
Young tho Sphinx Was in Its
Infancy From Stono
Age to the Golden
By ROBERT HILDRETH
THE sport of Presidents and statesmen
(similar terms), of doctors, lawyers, beg
gurmen, thieves, of young and old and rich
nnd poorj of men and, in this nnd a former
nge, of women; of professionals and nma
tours, of players and fans; of America and
tho Orient, aye, and of war and peace the
Grand Old Gamel A gamo of venerable an
tiquity beyond question. In the days of the
Pharaohs tho Egyptians played ball. The
pastlmo of "tpss and catch" Is sculptured on
many a monument nnd templo of the an
cients who hobnobbed with that samo 8phlnx
thnt not so long ago looked down on tho
"modern" gnmc, nnd nmong tho archaeologi
cal treasures of tho British Museum reposes
n leather-covered ball used by tho players
In tho valley of tho Nile 40 centuries back
In history. Look Into Popo's translation of
tho Odyssey of Homer nnd you will find the
famous description of Nauslcna nnd her
maidens at their favorite diversion;
O'er the groon mead the aportlve virgins play,
Their ehlnlng el unbound alonr the ekl,
Toa't and retoe't the ball alternate file.
"Along tho pklcs," forsooth! Not much llko
ono of Gavvy's "homers," but yet forglvo
tho atrocity Homeric.
From Ball to Baieball
Tho ball, according to tho scientists, Is al
most tho oldest utility in tho world. "The
ball," they say, "was to tho primitive man
not an Implement of sport, but an absolute
necessity of oxlstcnce." Today It Is both.
Here, In little, we havo tho wholo history
of civilization. As tho scientists learnedly
remark, "Tho slaying of Goliath by David
wilt Immediately come to mind as an Instanco
In which the Btono ball from tho brook was
used as a weapon of offense." Then after
the stone ago came the softer period, when
tho Romans practiced ball playing In con
nection with their baths, using tho "plla,"
a handball stuffed with hair and warranted
not to hurt. And now a return to first prin
ciples. "Baseball, I repeat," says Spalding,
In "America's National Game," "is war."
Tho genetics of baseball are better exem
plified In the life of tho Individual, for tho
child Is father to tho man and the true
father of baseball, and In his development
there la a tlmo when a stone will serve If
nothing else Is available.
A ball, of course, Is different from a base
ball. Tho first has been Introduced Into the
educational curriculum and tho second Is a
vital part of a boy's education outside of
school. Historically the transition from the
ball to tho baseball la not so easy to trace.
A commission appointed for that purpose,
however, reported unanimously that "baso
ball had Its origin In the United States." Jt
found that In 1839 a young man In Coopers
town, N. Y., named Abner Doublcday, made
the first known diagram of tho diamond,
and on It indicated the proper positions of
tho players. In his schemo the players were
limited to eleven on a side. Four bases bad
already been established by tho game of four
old cat. The standardizing of tho game was
vastly promoted by the Knickerbockers,
tho earliest of all baseball clubs. The or
ganization was perfected In 1845.
The members were good substantial citi
zens of New York's business and professional
life. They modified Doubleday's paylng
schemo and adopted a set of rules, according
to which a "sldo" should consist of nine mem
bers. Their uniforms consisted of blue
trousers, drown In at the bottom, white
shirts and straw hats. Their first gamo out.
side their own club was with " team calling
Itself "tho New York Nine." The Knicker
bockers were defeated to tho tuno of 23
to 1, their opponents securing the requisite
number of runs (21 In four Innings). That
was In the days when the batter was out
f the bal ho hit was caught on tho first
bounce and a baserunner was out If he were
struck by aiall thrown at him by a mem
ber of the opposing team.
The first Intercollegiate contest was played
by Amherst and Williams In 185D. After 20
innings, with no intermission, Amherst was
declared the winner by tho score of 66 to 32.
In War and Peace
That score was beaten when tho Athletics
In 18(7 defeated Boston, 116 to 74. The Ath
letics knocked out 17 home runs. But the
batsman in those good old times had the
privilege of saying where he wanted the
ball, at tho knee, waist or shoulder, and If
tho pitcher failed to deliver the goods the
umpire disciplined him by the simple expe
dient of calling "hall."
Just when tho glovo was Invented or when
It was admitted Into the game does not ap
pear from authentic history, but a fan of
Rockford, 111., declares that tho story of its
debut is as follows:
"About 1867-68 a baseball team came to
Rockford to play our plnp. They called
themselves tho 'Unconquered Clippers of Il
linois,' and plastered our town with big
posters. We made up pur mlpds to glvo them
a drubbing, and at the end of the game
tho score was Rockford, 76; Clippers, 0.
"There was a little chap playing third
base who grabbed everything that camo
near him, and held It, too. I noticed that
he wore a kind of glove. When tho game
was over f went to him and asked what t
was (hat he wore on hs hand, Jlq told mo
that he was a machinist and had got his
hand badly hurt the week before, and he
showed me the wound in his palm. He said
the boys did not want him to play In that
game, but he got a Place of thin Sheet stee
and made it slightly concave, but so that It
did not qutto touch the sore place. He then
made a short glovo to cover all the hand ex
cepting the first Joints of the fingers, and
doubled the leather In the palm so that he
could slip the pato between.
'N Lincoln at the Bat
'?I asked him If It hurt, and be said it did
not, and that he could ta)te a hot one and
hold it better with the s-loys than wthout it,
That is the whole story."
Maybe so.
Anyway, it's a grand old game. Oliver
Wendell Ilojmes used to play It at Harvard
In the twenties, when they had anywhere
from 15 to 40 men on a side and "plugged
tho base runners for "outs." And Spalding
cites the evidence to prove that when the
committee of the Chicago convention which
nominated Lincoln for tho presidency called'
af his home to notify lilra, Ab was out on
the common playing bAsebf. A messenger
was sent out to him. "Tell the gentlemen,"
he said, "that I am glad to know of tbelr
eomlmr. but tbsyn Jmv wait a fw l,
Mittj till T bv. aascaesr kaat k4t."

"UNIVERSITY AMBASSADOR" R0WE
Professor Who Has Just Returned From One of Many Trips to
South America Is This Country's Best Known Citizen in the
Southern Continent Varied Activities of a Busy Man
By WILLIAM
IEO S. ROWB, professor of political science
J at thj University of Pennsylvania, has
been called the "university ambassador" of
this country to South America.
Professor Rowe Is entirely too busy to care
about the Bpot-
light. He has been
In the more even
glow of Its edges
for about IB years
and not infre
quently In Its cen
tre. Hardly any
one thinks of
South America
nowadays without
linking to the
thought the name
of Leo S. Rowe. It
may tell the story
of his work more
clearly to say that
ho is perhaps tha
most widely known
rncFESSon nowp. citizen of tho
United States to South Americans. His
friends there nro in almost every lino of
endeavor, governmental, intellectual and com
mercial. In academic circles he is looked upon as
the man who brought to the University of
Pennsylvania the honor of bolng tho pioneer
in the moyement to co-oporato with South
American educational Institutions. This
should bo a source of prldo to loyal Phlladel
Phlans, who consider this city the cultural
contro of the United States, scorning tho
claims of Boston. Certainly the South Amer
icans have not overlooked Professor Rowe.
Ho holds honorary degrees from the National
University of La Plata, Argentina; tho Uni
versity of San Marcos, at Lima, Peru; tho
University of Chili, Santiago, Chill, and the
National University of Mexico. Ho drew up
tho plans of organization for the last-named
Institution by special Inyltatlon of tho Min
ister of Public Instruction of Mexico In 1903.
Work as Recreation
Poctor Rowp was born at McGregor, la.,
September 17, 1871, but ho come to this city
whie still a boy and was educated In the
public schools hero and in tho Central High
School. He took the bachelor's degree at the
University of Pennsylvania, studied In the
Law School at tho same Institution, and then
was admitted to the bar. Ho djd not prac
tice, however, spending the next four years
in Europe in tho study of political science
and comparative Jurisprudence, and in 1896
ho was appointed Instructor In public law at
tho University, rising to tho assistant pro
fessorship in 1898 and to hie present post
In 1804.
)Llke most unusually busy men, Professor
Rowe makes his work do for recreation. Ho
gets plenty of thls kind of "amusement."
Ills friends call him tho hardest working man
At tho University, yet he also finds tlmo to
play a snappy et of tennis now and then.
Ho nearly always spends his vacations In
S.outh America-
Ono of the many untabulated duties of
Professor Rowe at the University is the busi
ness of lookllff After South American stu
dents, whose number has shown a steady in
crease since he becamp Interested in their
countries. They help to keep him busy and
ho helps them in a thousand and one ways
that no one else at the bg West Philadelphia
Institution could. At present Professor Rowe
also is actively engaged In planning for the
convention to b held nt Aprjl to make ar
rangements for the next Pan-American
Financial Conference. This convention was
to ho,ve been heJd at Buenos Aires In Novera
ber. but has been postponed until April.
A Jfan of Many Jobs
Doctor Rowe obtained his first govern,
mental appointment from President McKln
ley, who named him In. 1900 a member of the
Commission to Revise and Compile the Laws
of Porto Rico. When that Commission got
to work he was made chairman pf the Insular
Code Commission by Governor AHen. He re
malned In Porto Rico two years, and upon
bis return to the University waa elected
prudent pf. the American Academy of Pp.
lltlcal and fjoojal (Science. Tho repcf t of the

government, upon which he is an authority.
In 1906 President Roosevelt appointed Pro
fessor Rowe to represent the United States
at the Third International Conference of
American States, held at Rio Janeiro. The
same executle appointed him two years later
as the representative of this country at the
first Pan-American Scientific Congress, San
tiago, Chill. President Taft made Professor
Rowe a member of the International Arbitra
tion Tribunal on Panama Claims In 1913. He
was Invited In 1914 by the National Univer
sity of La Plata, Argentine Republic, to de
liver a series of lectures on Pan-American
subjects, and this year received his fifth
presidential appointment when Presldont
Wilson named him Secretary General of the
Pan-Arqc'can Financial Conference, May
24 to 29, at Washington, D. C. Less than
two months after the conference concluded
Its sessions, "Doctor Rowe went to Chill.
Peru, Panama nnd Cuba Dn a special mission
for the United States Government to confer
with ministers of finance in those countries.
He returned to this city a few weeks before
the reopening of tho University.
A Prediction and the Answer
When the war started in Europe it was
freely predicted everywhere that he United
States would profit by gathering in the trade
of South America that had been talked about
for years but pever secured by, manufac
turers of this country. It did not take a
year to prove that these predictions were not
going to be fulfilled. Various reasons why
have been advanced, and the views of Doctor
Bowe In this connection are Interesting. Ho
was asked to give his opinion of the one out
standing cause for the failure of the trade
prophecies.
'Tho American manufacturer's Inability or
lack of desire to adapt himself to South
American conditions," he said, "especially
as to credit. Is the reason. It Is not suffi
cient for United States banks to establish
branches n South America. 'They must not
expect to do business on deposits. South
American business men want longer credit
than United States manufacturers are will
ing to extend. This probably Is due to tho
American's desire to turn his money quickly.
Tho danger should not be a deterrent, for
the records show a very small percentage of
loss to the European manufacturers who sup
plied South American merchants prior to'tho
war."
