CONAN DOYLE
FAvORs BOXING
Prize Fighting in England Takes the
Place of Baseball on This
Side.

LONDON, Nov. 27-Sir Arthur Con-
an Doyle has come out emphatically
in opposition to the people who are
trying to end prize fighting in Eng
land. Prize fighting is almost as
popular here as baseball in America.
Until the home office stopped the
proposed Johnson-Wells match be-
cause of public opposition to a fight
between a negro and white man,
prize fighting was practically unre-
stricted. The anti-fight element, how
ever. succeeded in having north-of-
England court put its ban on the pro-
posed Moran-Drlscoll match and fight
lovers became frightened. II the
higher tribunal to which the Moran
Driscoll promoters have appealed sus-
tanned the lower one, the game will
be Killed throughout the country.
"The love of boxing" said Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle, in explaining why
he is fight fan. "is in the blood of
the English people. 1t is part Of our
national character. So long as that
character remains what it is, we will
have boxing contests. Not even the
courts can stop prize fighting in Eng
land. The only thing they can decide
is whether the fights shall take place
as hitherto, with the press and police
present as well as the public, OF
whether it is better to have them con
Quoted secretly"

TWO YEARS IN
MEXICAN ARMY
Madero is for Compulsory Service and
Plan May be Adopted by
Country.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 27.-President
Madero announces that he Is prepared
to present to congress in his annual
recommendation that two
years compulsory military service,
modelled on the European systems, be
inaugurated in Mexico within the next
six months in order that the republic
may have standing army of sufficient
size and power to crush revolution in
the future. 1t is thought likely that
this measure will pass.
The government has announced that
16S Zeapistas had been killed by the
federals in Guerrero Morelos and that
the revolution in that province and
others was rapidly being crushed,
Governor Bonito, the governor OF
Juarez has been instructed that he
must put down any further trouble in
his province with the troops that he
already has, it not being thought good
policy to further decrease the garrl-
son at the capitol.
