CENSOR'S WORK A
SOURCE OF
GRIEF
NEWSPAPERS IN EUROPE AS
WELL AS AMERICA ARE
HAMPERED BY 1T

Paris, Dec 16.-Pecnliar things hap
pen to news in these days when it is
so scarce and censors are so strict.
Much news is lifted" from one news
paper into another and when a writer
gets a story into print there is no tell
ing under what date line or whose
name it may reappear
One of the few graphic and autnen-
tic stories from the front appeared in
an afternoon paper here on a recent
Sunday. 1t was cabled to New York
the same evening The next day a
Paris newspaper picked up the story
and that afternoon another paper did
the same thing. Other papers, morn
ing and afternoon, ran the story IN
Tuesday. And then, on Wednesday
morning an English newspaper print
ed the item as a special despatch
from the north Of France" over the
the signature Of an authentic war cor
respondent.
The incident is not so much an ex-
ample of loose editorial work as a
demonstration of the journalists Irou-
bIes during the war. Copy is scarce
enough at best, and the censor ruins
the best of it while the stats of all the
Paris papers are decimated by the
mobilization.
Each copies from al the others and
story that passes observation today
may catch the eye tomorrow. This
applies to the censors staff as we'll,
for an article approved in the morning
ia sometimes cut out in the afternoon.
One man with the official scissors
sees one paragraph that will not do.
His colleague passes the same article
in another paper, but finds another
Objectionable PARAGRAPH that the other
did not see.
Clemenceau's rechristened paper
L'Homme Enchaine, recently contain
ed the heading of an editorial rs 1t
True?" The rest of the column was
blank and the public shall have to
wait for the end of the war to know
whether it is true or not.
In another case a dangerous news
item was cut out but the head was
overlooked. It was d g0ou head and.
OF course, contained the meat of the
article.
The Cri de Paris says the censor
is as conspicuous as pretty woman, /"

CHAMPIONS FIND
SHEDDING
ROUGH
INJURIES COST cLA5BY, WELSH
AND KIL5ANE CONSIDER
ABLE MONEY

Champion boxers need as much care
these days as high class race horse.
The champions, especially, have been
accustomed of late years to drawing
down small fortunes nearly every time
they start and when anything goes
wrong with their money getters"
there is woe in the camp Immediately,
says the Kansas City Stars sport
writer During the past few months
three champions have suffered set
backs Freddy Welsh, Jimmy Clabby
and Johnny Kilbane Welsh hurt his
hand in his bout with Fred Yelle at
Boston some few weeks ago, although
ii did not prevent him from going on
with Young Shugrue at Madison
Square Garden, New York, last week.
However, it might have cost him dear
ly, for had Shugrue gone in and taken
more chances he might have made it
very bad for the champion. A knock
out would have put Freddie to the bad
and no one would listen to any story
about his right hand being out of COM
mission.
Jimmy Clabby injured his shoulder
again in his championship battle with
George Cnip Of San Francisco and will
be- unable to fight again for a few
weeks; IN fact, it is keeping Jimmy
out of the ring for at feast TWO
months. He injured the same should.
er in his bout with Jimmy Gardner
over four years ago and again in Aus
tralia he sprained it while playing
baseball Johnny Kilbane hurt mis-
thumb several weeks ago and was
obliged to lay off for two months.
Johnny figured that it cost him about
$4,000. Boxers cannot be too careful
Of their hands. 1t might be added
that Ad Wolgast asserts that he was
out about $4,000 during the time he
was incapacitated by broken arm
and again by an operation when he
was champion.
What has become of Willie Ritchie,
the ex,champion? For a time Willie
was very much in the public eye, but
during the past few months he seems
to have disappeared from off the
eurth. Since he was beaten by FREDDY
Welsh for the worlds championship
in the lightweight division Willie has
not lived up to his reputation as
hustler. He was supposed to be
matched with two or three boys on the
Pacific coast, but each time 1t fell
through and to date Richie has not
engaged in real contest Unless Viii
lie gets busy and fights as a Light
weight ne will lose all title to the
American championship, for there are
other boys, especially Charles White,
eager to annex the title and defend it.
Reports from the coast are to the Of
feet that Ritchie has gained in weight
and cannot make the limit Of 18SI
pounds any more, watch. If true, will
throw him into the class ahead and
give Charlie White a chance to claim
the American title OF champion light
weight. The boxing season has been
in full bloom for the past two ana a
half months. but Ritchie has remained
idle. To make matters worse for the

MANY nuLLETs FLYINo

London, Dec 16.-One Of the things
frequently noted by soldiers at the
front in writing to relatives and
friends is the extraordinary expendi
ture of bullets required to kill man.
A German report states that many
German soldiers fired 1000 cartridges
apiece during the first month Of the
war. An English observer estimated
that 25 German shells are wasted foI
every man killed by them.
Las Vegas optic., 1914-12-16

California boy, the game on the coast
has been killed, at least for the pres.
ent, and he will have to drift east Il
he intends to get into the limelight
before the 1914-15 season ends. Ritchie
is a most pleasing fighter and it is to
be regretted that he has not hustled
along bit faster since the London al
fair with Welsh.
Las Vegas optic., 1914-12-16

In 1870 it was calculated that the
Germans fired $50 bullets and six
shrapnel shells for every wounded
Frenohman. In the Russo-Japanesa
war it is said 5000 bullets were fired
for every life lost.

TURKEY BACKS DOWN
BEFORE GREEK DEMANDS
Danger Of War Between Two
Countries Said to Be COnsid-

LONDON, June 20.--Despatches from
Constantinople and Athens show that
Turkey has taken very conclliatory
attitude In the matter OF the expulsion
OF Greek subjects from Asia Minor. and
the danger of war between the two
countries seems to have been greatly
mnimlzed
The ottoman Government instructed
its Minister at Athens to inform the
Greek Government that Turkey was will
ing to permit the return of Greek SUBJ
jects who have been compelled to leave
Turkish territory in the last few weeks
and that II would also compensate these
Greeks for the Losses they had sustained
when they were forced to leave their
homes and quit the country.
The Turkish note was regarded at
Athens as showing q desire on the part
OF the ottoman Government to bring
about friendly settlement OF the pres
ent dispute between the two countries.
There IL one point in the Turkish note
which IL not entirely satisfactory. and
that is where II says the propositions
made In the Turkish note apply only TO
Greek refugees, but the general tenor
of the Porte's note and the other COM
munications in regard to the Greek de-
mands which have been received from
Constantinople are considered very salts
