He judged well. The revolution, long prophesied for Italy, advanced with red flags spattered with Russian blood, hoping to meet re- sistance from the bourgeoisie, the capitalists and the gov- ernment, Instead, the revolution was unopposed. Giolitti presented the horrible specter to the workingmen and told them to decide for Italy. It was an act of states- manship that reached the heights of genius. The working- men rejected the revolution. Private property will not come tumbling to the ground in Italy, spreading devastation and woe over rich and poor alike. The workingmen have read the lesson of Russia. Giolitti’s test has proven this fact to the world. Japan in Siberia However necessary it may be for Japan to find new territory for her excess population, there must be no expansion by the sword in the Far East. Japan's Siberian ambitions come legitimately within the sphere of American interest. Any development that forcibly disturbs existing international boundaries across the Pacific may have serious consequences for the United States, Japan has not yet democratized her government. Japan ts still a military power. Her war and navy departments are not even under the ultimate authority of the prime minister. They are directed ex: clusively by the heads of the two departments, That is to my, by the militaristic elements in Japan's national life. The Japanese ambassador at Washington is controled by his foreign office. The foreign office, in turn, is controfied by the prime minister and his cabinet. But, the ministry cannot control Japan's fighting machine. It is self-perpetuating and ts not answerable to partiament. For this reason the Japanese ambassador cannot speak authoritatively concerning the activities and ambitions of Japan's army and navy chiefs. Neither can the Japanese foreign office. Neither can the Japa nese premier. They all know as much as the field marshals and ad- mirals choose to tell, and no more When so illogical a situation as this prevails, America must be on her guard. America must regard suspiciously Japanis land ambitions while they are directed by the militarista, Hope Hope is the strongest force in the world today. was so. It is not Love It ts not Ambition. It is not Pride. It ts just plain, downright Hope, and nothing more. The rich man hopes for health, happiness and fame. The poer one for wealth, health, happiness and fame. They all hope for love to complete their happiness. But they only hope for all this, and as long as this hope is alive they stand @ chance of gaining what they want. When hope leaves them, they are lost, imponsibty lost. Ever seo these hope-less and women?

If their sacrifice would mean anything, go to war? It all revolves around Hopa Mother Love If it were possible to look at a recent entry tn the “book of fate” one would probably find, alongside of @ notice of divorce granted Mrs. Daniel F. Sullivan of Chicago, this item: “Reason—Mother Love.” The mothering instincts of Mrs. Sullivan have broken up her home. She had no children of her own—only plenty of money. So she went into the slum nurseries and gathered tiny tots into her arms and took them to her beautiful home At times she was caring for ten or fifteen at once. The more children about her, the happier she was. Her husband objected—not to the money spent, but to the noise of the nursery about him. He settled an amount of money on his wife—and left. She has just been granted divorce. Mother love! She is only happy when surrounded by little ones. He couldn't stand them—at least not so many of them, “And a Uttle child shall lead them”—in this case, apart! Tenantry Increases in U. S. Probably it always people by so doing they had no hope whatsoever long do you think men w are are that ould Diagram shows percentages of city, country and combined tenantry, at three census years. Landlordism 1s growing tn the United States So is the army of tenants. Tenantry tn rural districts {s growing faster than tn cities. This ts due to the large rush of high-wage laborers into cities. These left gaps on farms, and agricultural lands passed into the hands of renters, Thus absentee landiordism has placed a larger tax upon the cost of living. | The 1920 census estimates show both city and country tenantry larger | than ever before. Forty years ago 55 per cent of Americans owned the homes they lived in. Today only 44 per cent own their dwellings. Now 56 per cent are renters, Tenantry 1s more common tn elties than on farms. It has Increased two per cent in cities in the last 20 years, and 66 per cent of city people now live in rented quarters. Farm tenantry, during the samo me, increased from 36 per cent to 40 per cent, The White Bor shrunk in the wash.

We who love the game—and there are millions of us—will rally to its defense, and the grand old sport will emerge from this dark cloud cleaner and better than ever before. I am sure that, following the dis- closures of the past few days, the great army of American fans feel as 1 do, not so much a spirit of con demnation as one of genuine grief that such a thing could happen—tha: playere could be found who would yield to the villainous gambling in. fluences and wreck not only their own futures, but mar the unsullied reputation of baseball.
