In those days the future pugilist was noted as a football player. and anybody that got into his way was due to be flattened out Jim was tw enty.one before it occurred to him that whereas he had always fought for fun, he might earn money with his fists. His early professional bouts were staged by a Pueblo: club. and Jim wasn't always as victorious as his records would seem to indicate. Af- ter several battles in Pueblo he was matched in 1909 with Jack Lowell at Otto Floto's Colorado A C. in Denver. On that occasion Jim fought as Young Gallagher" in honor of 5''Red Pat't Gallagher. a fam6us mia dle- weight of those dAyss who. afterWard quit the ring and made fortune in Denver dirt.

The war in Europe continues with
undated fury. The Germans. by
superior numbers and the great guns
Of the Krupps, are driving the
French back upon Paris and are
now within less than thirty miles
of the capital which is preparing
for a long siege, German flying
machines are already dropping oc-
casional bombs into Paris but they
do comparatively little damage.
The conduct of the war by the
Germans has been marked by a re-
lentless brute force that has astUnish-
ed the world. The attack upon Bel
GUM, a neutral and unoffending ma
ton that happened to be in the
pathway to France has been follow
ed by numerous acts that were be-
yond the pale of civilized warfare,
,icnluding the killing of red cross
nurses, and it is said, their own bad
ly wounded soldiers.
The Russians have met with some
success in their attacks upon Ger
many and their march toward Ber-
lin.
Japan is to send hundred thou
sand men to join the English who
are allies of France. There is pos
sibility that England and Japan may
make an attack on the Germans
through Belgium, which would be
a flank movement and tend to cut
off the Germans from their own
country.
Turkey is reported to have decided
to go to war in aid of Germany.
If Italy declares war, which is
likely, there will be little left of
Europe that is not involved
