JACK JOHNSON IS BACK FROM EUROPE Arrives With Worlds Thin nest Watch, Great Many
 Gold Teeth, Etc.

Chicago, December 23.-John Arthur Johnson, the colored worlds champion prizefghter arrived home from Flu rope today, displayed the worlds thinnest watch, the worlds greatest quantity of gold teeth, the world s largest squirrel fur coat" and issued a statement five minutes after his ar rival. The statement said simply: Don't you ever think Jack Johnson's broke.'
 Later he amplified this by saying he started the broke story" to justify his demand for some s750O training ex- penses, which, he says, he got.
 Three new automobiles, each guar anteed to outspeed any he previously has driven, will be in his garage next week, he says, and 90 to 100 miles will not be unusual, according to his pre- dictions of future driving.
 Johnson did not appear to be out of condition so far as physical ap- pearanees go. He says he can train back to condition in a month. An ef- fort to interest Johnson in Jim Flynn amused the champion. He said che would not consider Flynn seriously. Surveying the field of white fighters, Johnson could see nothing promising in any of them. Sam Langford, he said, was the only fighter who could hope to put up anything like an even match and the Boston boy, he added confidently, would be whipped.

REYES MUST FIGHT
 OR FLEE AGAIN

Monterey, Mex. December 23.-Located once more by the scouts of Gen. Geroni- mo Trevino. Gen. }, Bernardo Reyes, self appointed leader of the "constitutionai- ists," the name he has given the insur- gents, must either fight or run again. Scouts reported to army headquarters today that they had secured information regarded by them as accurate that the outlawed general was on the Viga ranch, not far from Burgos, a town in the state Of Tamaulipas, this afternoon. General Trevino sent orders to Col. Manuel Guerra Logo to invade the ranch in search of Reyes.
 Officially it is not admitted that Reyes has with him any men other than the five who were with him when he crossed the border, but private advices variously estimate his following from score to several hundred. The Viga ranch is about 40 miles east of Lineraz. It is well wooded property, and somewhat hilly, but fits character is not such as provides places for ambuscades, does the coun- try about Gaena lying to the west Ire vino considers it improbable that Lugo's force of 150 will encounter Reyes before tomorrow

Celebrating Christmas

"Tomorrow we shall be celebrating Christmas with peace on earth, good will toward men;, and why can't we extend this sentiment across the seas to our brothers everywhere? One of the most practicable lessons that we have been taught by our civil war is that we are kindred people-a homo geneous people.
 If these treaties are accepted. we place ourselves at the head of the world as freemen, a nation permeated with the highest ideals; as Christians, not pagans or Philistines If these treaties arc not ratified, we have lost an abun- dant world chance toward the uni yersal brotherhood of man. A serious obstruction will be placed in the path of progress and an opportunity to further the cause of the world wide peace. So. my friends want you to join me in message to the Senate that you most earnestly desire to make war unfashionable Let us have peace in the woodlands; peace in the dell; peace in the crowded town; peace over the waving green fields; peace in the
