JOHNSON FIGHT STIRS
CLERGY IN ENGLAND
Support of Archbishop Of Canterbury and Bishop
of London Enlisted Against lt-Churchill
Is Urged to Act

London, September Eff 1t actual
ly takes place. the tight between Jack
johnson and "Bombard.er" Wells may
seem tame AFFAIR by comparison with
the strenuous encounter which has
been going on for a week or more be-
tween the "stop-the- fight" champions
and those who are promoting the
Earl's Court engagement for the be-
ginning OF October.
The Rev. F. B. Meyer, Noncon-
form!st minister, who is well known
in America. started the opposition to
2 the match. urging a variety of grounds.
among which the color question is one
of the chief, and, by strenuous efforts.
has enlisted the support OF large
number OF prominent persons. includ-
ing the Archbishop of Canterbury and
the Bishop of London.
The Home Secretary. Winston
Churchill. is in Scotland, and does
not seem inclined to come to London
to receive a deputation. but Mr.. Meyer
is getting up a petition to send to him
in his northern retreat. Several papers
support Mr.. Meyer in the argument
that the Home Office should interfere
TO prevent the proposed exhibition of
Times and The Daily Telegraph, and
even Lord Lonsdale. who IS such a
lover OF boxing that he has a private
ring fitted up in his house in Carlton
House Terrace. declares that no good
can be done 10 honest sport by an en-
counter between Johnson and Wells
under the proposed conditions.
Pending the hoped-for interference
by the authorities. Mr.. Meyer has at
tempted 10 persuade Mr.. White. the
promoter OF the contest, TO withdraw
from it, and has offered to collect
enough money to recoup him for his
out-of-pocket expenses. Mr. White has
agreed that 81 he be financially REIN
bursed ne will drop the affair at Earl's
Court: but he has placed the solatinm
he is willing TO accept at n figure
which Mr.. Meyer considers extrava-
CANT.
This phase Of the matter has been
the occasion OF much verbal and epis-
tolary argument on both sides, with
the result that Mr.. White took to his
bed toward the close of the week. and
Mr.. Meyer confessed that he had
passed a sleepless night.
1t Is unnecessary to recite the argu-
ments advanced for and against per-
hitting the fight to take place in SO
iar as tney relate 10 pu0llc DoNlnS

great stress is laid on the fact that
"Bombardier" Wells, although a prom
isIng young fighter. cannot be match
for a worlds champion like Johnson.
and that the encounter will conse-
quently be nothing more than brutal
exhibition Of how much puH!melins one
man can stand at the hands OF an
other.
But. in its aspect as a contest be-
tween a white man and a negro the
controversy has especial interest for
America The Archbishop Of Canter-
bury automatically referred to this in
his letter to Mr.. Meyer. in which he
said:

which found expression last year as to
the brutalizpg and degrading scene in

The latest means planned for an as

man. who has had so many previous
narrow escapes. NJ. Stolypin went up

ders to wreck the machine when he
and the statesman were high in the

But before going up NJ. Stolypin ut
tered seven simple words that saved
his life.

said, and Marieyich was so impress

dence that he could not bring himself
to execute his fell purpose.
AS the consequence he was condemn
ed to death by his companions and
was killed shortly after by falling
from an aeroplane. 1t is now believed
that he committed suicide.

GERMAN WOMEN INCREASE.
latest Census Shows Figures Opposed
to kaIser's Views.


to kalser's Views.
The predominattng feature Of the
German national census is the grow.
ing preponderance OF the female ele-
n1snt, and this is exercising the minds
not only of the government, but also
of all politicians and social reformers
There Is deep rooted idea in Ger.
many, which, as well known, is shared
by the kaiser and the ruling element,
that Woman's sphere is the home and
that it Is the destiny of woman to
seek mate and find her happiness in
the upbrfnging of her children
The increasing preponderance Of wo.
men is forcing Germany further and
further away from this ideal and is
making the position more and more
difficult for those who still oppose the
entrance of women into all sorts of oc-
equations and professions.
Strangely enough, in France, too, the
same increase In the excess Of women
over men Is noted. Although the last
census in France was taken In 1906
the detailed results were only made
public recently. The census gives the
number of males as 1905, 721 and
the number of females as 1874, 1892, q
difference Of 645,211 in favor of the
latter sex. Twenty years ago the fe
male sex In France outnumbered the
male by only 10000.
