TO STAMP BUT ~~
PHIL.
United States is to maintain the posi-j
lion of spiritual leadership acquired
during the war and take its right
ful place in a League of Nations, it
must stamp out sectional intolerance
and race prejudice, said Dr. Leo S.
Rowe, of Philadelphia, in an address
today before the “Win the War for
Permanent Peace” convention. Dr.
Rowe, who is Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury and a member of the
Executive Committee of the League
to Enforce Peace, added:
‘ The problem confronting us is not
merely to win the war but to assist—
yes, to lead—in creating a world sit
uation which will make it impossible
for the political philosophy which un
'derlies the German plan to dictate
or in any way dominate the final
outcome. It has now become Ameri
ca’s mission to see to it that the peace
which follows this struggle shall be
ihe peace that makes further derao
cratice development possible and thus
enables America to make her great
est contribution to civilization.
“No one would, for a moment, place
any faith in a riviyal of the “balance
of power" doctrine. We now see, as
never before, that the normal develop
ment of American institutions will be
broken, their spirit radically changed,;
and we will be led, as a matter of
self-preservation, into a form of pol
itical and military organization, that
will mean that the promise of our
eighteenth and nineteenth century
development will not reach fruition, f
“Germany’s treatment of Russia
and Rumania has made strikingly
clear the nature of the menace with
which we are confronted.
“It is clear that out of this strug-1
gle a new world will emerge, but the i
type of world will depend largely on
America's unselfishness and on the!
steadfastness of her faith in interna
tional right and justice.
“American ideals, elevated by the
war, asserted Dr. Rowe, can not at
tain their full development, unless
we become an integral part of an in
ternational organization determined
at all costs to eliminate aggression
from world affairs, to protect the
rights of small and large nationali
ties, and to place ourselves in the
service of higher standards of inter
national justice and fair dealing.

Washingtonians Have No Doubt About Spring
THE <'hief lllinK ll*at makes one sure spring is here is the appearance on our
I streets, although in a mild form, of a certain sport—namely: Tops. Once
lops appear on the streets, Hung from the hands of small hoys, there is no
escaping the fact that spring is some
where in the vicinity. Her eyes may
appear frostbitten, and site may seem
clothed in such flimsy garments as our
artists commonly clothe her with, but
you may lie sure site is somewhere in
tlie vicinity, that fair divinity.
I talked with an elderly man in a
high hat and gold-rimmed spectacles
the oilier afternoon, as we stood and
watched a group of small hoys spin
ning tops. “They don’t seem to do it
with the old spirit, the old—er—pep,”
he said, pleased with his familiarity with the latter word. “Why, now, when
1 was a hoy, we stum—er—span—er—spinned tops like a house afire. These
little fellows seem to lie afraid of denting the sidewalk.”
“\\ lien I spun—er—spinned tops, now,” I replied, “I whipped ’em for a
block. ’Whipping' tops was regarded a greater feat than knocking them out of
tlie ring.
“We named our favorite top* in those days. My favorite was a three-cent
top, green, witli a peculiarly fat body, and was named after a certain school
teacher, then a great favorite in die grade school I attended. Another top was
named after a teacher whom all we kids detested. I'laying ‘ring,’ we took great
delight in knocking this latter top out of the ring.”
“Your reminiscences are interesting," replied the old gentleman, “hut listen
to what 1 used to do. Now-”
Hut just then my street car came along.
