The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-09-11

Men and women gathered by thou
sands in the great squares waiting
for what must happen. They were
curiously calm; only their tense white
faces told of calamity. The sun set;
the arc lights flashed; an evening
breeze shOweTed down blackened
flakes of the harvest and neighbOring
villages burned by the advancing
Prussians.
In the silence Brussels could hear
thunderOus growlings beneath the
horizon. Then the report of a heavy
gun. That threat reused the Flemish
spirit. Steadily, fearlessly, facing the
fate of tomorrow, they began to sing.
Translated from the WalloOn patois,
which is old as the battles of Bra
bant, here is their song:
Fled the years of servile shame,
Belgium, tbs thine hour at last.
Wear again thy glorious name;
Spread thy banner to the blast.
Sovereign people in thy might,
Steadfast yet and valiant be;
On thine ancient standard write
King and Law and Liberty! ...
Strive, nor seek discharge at length,
Hold thy courage as thy crown,
God, who keeps thee in His strength,
On thy labors smileth down.
OyyoT, III fbIy fT11itf11I Iond
Labor's prize is full and free,
On thine arts enthroned stand
King and Law and Liberty!
Belgium, Mother! thus we VOW,
Never shall our love -abate.
Thou our hope, our safety thou,
Hearts and blood are consecrate
Grave, we pray upon thy shield

Miss Elva Wright Gibson, a college
girl who pays more attention to
school books than to the cult of
beauty, has been selected to preside
in the American Fashion Congress
of the Home Exposition to be held
here the week of Sept. 16.
p The judges-a committee of we'll
known artists were in session two
weeks before they found a woman
who could fill the role of the modern
Helen. Miss Gibson's mission in the

TRYING TO REVIVE
Fight GAME IN CHI

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Quietly for a
long time there has been going on in
Chicago an agitation which it is hoped
will result in the return of prize fight
ing to Chicago; in fact, to the state OF
Illinois, for it is through the passage
of a bill in spring that it is believed
this can be brought about. The sue
cess of legalized boxing in several
states. notably Wisconsin and New
! York, where the boxers engage in TO-
round bouts under commission rule
minus decisions, is the example which
enthusiasts hope Illinois may follow.
1t was a little more than a decade
ago that Chicago saw it's last public
ring bout. The contests then We're
not permitted by a state law, but I'm.
der city supervision, the controlling
force being the police authorities.
Six.round bouts to a decision were
the rule. AS high class boxers as
ever performed in any ring were al
lowed to show their wares.
The memorable battles Of Terry
McGovern still are fresh in the minds
of local fans. despite the fact that

when McGovern was a whirlwind star
and cleaning up everything before
him. the promoters matched him to
fight Joe Cans, the famous negro
lightweight. The fight was a "fake."
The negro took a tap on the chin in
the second round and went to the
canvass for the count. Cans admit.
ted. after be had departed from Chi.
cago, that the bout was not right, but
to anv one who saw the contest that

This contest precipitated agitation
which three wears later resulted in
the demise of the sport in CHICAGO
The authorities allowed a few clubs
to conduct bouts for a couple of years
after the McGover1-Gans affair. Their

Wreaking their wrath upon most any
thing at hand Is their only means o
happiness.
However that all may be, II still ap
pears that quite d few fighters have
neglected a great Chance in the pres

to be a number or fighters in the
French army, but few OF them aside

Freddy Welsh, the English light.

this Welsh is thought to have display
ed greater prudence than valor. With
a new title paying fat dividends it
would be folly to take any chances
with the German shells.
There are more than a few others
among our well known fighters who
might rally to the colors if they felt
a strong attachment to the lands that
saw their births. AN examination or
the pedigrees Of many American pugs

1t is not known just how the ir'

been from the explosion of an air

niture was removed and everythim

water as to make it practically a 10
tai loss. Mr.. Erickson had insurance
in the amount of $500. but think
that this will not cover more than q
per cent of his loss. The buildin!
was also badly damaged, with no ~
