Gene Tunney's successful defense of his title in yesterday's battle against Jack Dempsey a reminder of the days of Jim Corbett. It proved that ring generalship and science count in athletics. Throughout the fight, except in the almost fatal seventh round, Tunney was master of the situation and forced the battle to be waged acording to his plans just as Corbett was want to do in his day. The short, ten-round exactly into the art of Tt the contest had been 20 or 25 or more rounds, as was the rule a couple of decades and more ago, it is safe to say that Tunney, with his skill and general would have avoided the mix-up in the ¢ round that all but cost him the champion crown. He would have waited until his oppon ent had been whittled down to the point that his finish would have been an easy matter, just as Corbett trimmed the mighty John L. Sullivan in the New Orleans fight to the point where he waded in and finished it wihout difficulty by a knockout-out in the twenty-first round. The termination of this fight was one that justified the conclusions reached by the leading critics of pugilism. They were fooled on Shar- key because he let Dempsey out-general him and force the fighting to meet his style. Sharkey’s methods, when he plans the fighting, are more like those of Tunney than Dempsey’s, but he failed to use his science. He waded in and got a trouncing such as Tunney came near getting in the seventh round. Tunney, however, had the stamina to come back into his own and finish the fight as he had begun it, using his quick mind, determined generllship and science to and end that was conclusive. was contest does not fit boxer like Tunney. scheduled to go for a GOV.

Though there has been frequent criticism of the League of Nations by European public men who have recently discussed its position, it still and seems necessary, in the judg- ment of the most influential statesmen, Even Clemenceau, who was originally cynical about it and used notoriously to scoff at it, now is frank to admit that he does not see how the world could get on without it. Besides the several con- crete questions which are put before it from time to time, and most of which it has satis- factorily disposed of, its great utility is as a kind of open court—almost a court of justice— to which the nations of the world may resort with their complaints and demands, sure that they will get at least an equitable hearing and an impartial discussion. The League of Nationg as the great clearing house of the world’s public opinion still demonstrates its power to meet a lon elt need. can fail to perceive that the dignity mportan of the League have been height- I Viscount Cecil’'s resignation from the Cabinet, and by the events which led ) action.

Committee at work which was able to make only some preparatory and inconclusive recommenda- tions. Then came. the Geneva Conference. It was undertaken with a sort of lordly and super- ior air, as . if to show that four or five nations acting by themselves could do what the League was unable to do. But that spirit of arrogance soon passed into one of chagrin. When the sep- arate negotiations broke down so sorrowfully and completely, the League of Nations was at once reinstated as the one large organization through which the collective judgment and aspirations of all the civilized nations could be expressed and followed up by appropriate action. Morgan’s Men. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The passions and bitterness of the Civil War have yielded to the touch of dispassionate Time ~—the old hatreds are dead, the sad tragedies of that internecine strife well in the way of being forgotten. the the Blue and and out Today the Gray intertwine, memories of commingle, of them blossom only the flowers of sacrifice and heroism, rich with the perfume of noblest pur- pose and achievement. Some of these memories are recalled by a brief dispatch from Lexington, Ky., published in The Enquirer, wherein was related the story of the gathering of Morgan's’ famous command in take over the real leadership of Tammany Hall, make that a non-partisan organization and under- take to:see that New York City has the best government any large city has ever had. He will give special aitention to solving the New York housing problem and to raising the living level of the teeming masses in the city. He will also devote attention to the metropolitan transportation situation. It is his plan to continue to fight for reforms in New York State. He will exert his influence to sever State and National politics. The first step toward this end, he believes, is to have the State officials and Legislature elected in other years than those in which occur Presi- dentlal elections and to give State officers four- year terms. He is opposing the Constitutional amendment that proposes four-year terms for the Governor with elections concurrent with the Presidential election. He favors the four-year terms but wants the election at a different time. So interested, it is said, is Gov. Smith in the ldea of devoting his life to improving govern- mental conditions in New York City, particularly, and the State of New York, generally, that his interest in the Presidential contest is wholly impersonal. If nominated, he will make an active and earnest campaign. It will be, it is said, neither a silent nor a front porch campaign, but he will take the issues to the people and expend every effort and all the skill of which he is eapable to gain the victory, and if elected he the twenty-fifth annual session. John Morgan was a beau chevalier of the Old South, one of the most picturesque figures in the mighty conflict in which the destinies of the nation were decided, now so many years ago. He was a brave, a dashing cavalryman. His northern invasion was a splendid gesture, could have amounted to nothing, yet it put the fear of the Lord—or, rather, John Morgan and his mosstroopers—into the hearts of Northern millions. Morgan was a veritable military will-o’-th wisp; in the eyes of the North, a hard-riding, hard-fighting, mereiless guerilla. As a matter of fact, he was not a remorseless military bandit, justice of their cause and ready to fight and die in 'its support. The events and incidents of the famous raid but a Southern gentleman and a soldier, a strong man, fired with the faith of his people in the were replete with all the elements of romance and dream, athrob with the impulses and' reve- lations of high adventure. His capture, impris- onment and escape constitute one of the most thrilling stories of the war. He died like a soldier, his raid is a figment of memory; but so long as men thrill to the narration of a great tale, he will live as an exemplar of high patriot- ism and soldierly virtue. His hard riders have vanished—all but a pathetic few. It was this remnant which gath- ered the other day at Lexington to fraternize and recount old tales of hardship and adventure. And it was there that a colorful incident was re-enacted. The widow of a Confederate Gen- eral personally presented to each of Morgan's will give the country the best administration € which hLc is capable. But if not nominated, will begin immediately to make effective his tured plans for the betterment of New York and State. NO ONE IS SCOFFIN have set out on transoceanic flights and re- praise for d.
