CunbOat Smith Will
Meet French Fighter

said this morning to the United Press,
I'm not making the mistake of re-
garding it as all over before ! step
under the ropes. ] know they tell me
this before and have gotten the worst
that ever happened. | have 36 knock
outs to my credit, and | hope to make
Carpenter No. 37-but I'm going to
make a clean job of il from the start,
and not take any chances
Carpenter, despite the odds Of size
and weight and record of past per-
formances against him, is apparently
cheerful but he frankly admits that
he is up against the toughest PROPOSE
tion he has yet encountered. 81 have
great respect for Gunboat Smith s
puneh,' he said, but | hope to beat
him. If not, | shall have gone down
before the best white man in the
world"
The French champion, who arrived
here only three days ago has been
undergoing five weeks of strenuous
training at Manitot, France lor ger
period than he has devoted to prepar-
alton for any OF his previous matches.
His manager Descamps says the boy
has never been in finer form.
Smith has been training at Harrow
on-the-Hill near London, and has
pleased the critics immensely. Such
a fine Judge as Eugene Corri, Eng
lands most famous referee, remarked
today, "Gunboat Smith is not only a
real good fellow, but a born fighter
! think he will win. and win comfort
ably"
Only once has tine American met de-
feat, and that was in 1910 when Jim
Barry beat him in nine rounds. Since
then he has beaten Bomhsder Wells,
British champion, in, two rounds. Geo.
Rodel Of South Africa in three rounds,
Jim Flynn in five rounds, Carl Morris
in five rounds and Tony Ross in ten
rounds. Carpenter has beaten Wells
twice but in the first match, at Client
two years ago, the FTenchman took
the count OF nine, and the experts
haven't yet ceased wondering why
Wells wasn't able to wade In and fin
ish him. He has lost to Papke, Klaus
and Jeanette, and as Langford has
beaten the mulatto, the Gunboat on
form certainly ought to find the
Frenchman easy picking tonight.
The men are expected to take the
ring about 10 o'clock. the contest be-
ing 20 rounds Queensbury rules. }.

Native Troops Surprise Every
one with Great Endurance
and Bravery.

. (Correypo ndence Of Associated Press.
: BOULOGNE, Dec. 26.-The great
endurance and fighting ability Of the
native troops from India who have
come to take part for the first time
In history In war against white
troops on European soil have aston
ished those against whom they have
been pitted as well as all the allied
commanders except the British.
Don't Mind Shrapnel
The only question which arose in
the British officers mind was wheth-
err the Indian would be able to stand
against ertillery fire, to which they
never.had been subjected In the FROM
tier vars. This has been answered
in the affirmative, and they have Prov
ed as steady under shrapnel, fire Us
the best Of their white comrades in
arms. Not only this, but the comman-
ders OF the allied armies aver that
they show dash and fearlessness to q
remarkable degree and have on many
occasions displayed great initiative
under the most difficult circum-
stances.
The civilian population makes much
of them when the opportunity arises,
but their discipline is strict and this,
added to. the difficulties OF language
prevents any possibility OF their be-
coming spoiled. When they are sick
or wounded, however, the civilians
pour showers OF presents on them In
the way Of warm clothing. Delicacies
for consumption are not appreciated,
for many Of the men are forbidden by
the rules of their caste to touch food
prepared or offered by person Of
another sect. Also they have no de-
sire for dainties, their simple "chu-
patty or bread, which they bake
themselves in the field being all they
want In addition to their ration of
goats flesh or poultry and rice.
Great FOrtitude
In suburb OF Boulogne before the
entrance Of great field covered with
many regular rows Of tents stood a
bronze figure as still as statue. It
was a Sikh in his uniform OF khaki
guarding the sanatorium in which
some hundreds of his slightly wound
ed or aillng comrades from the battle
field Of Flanders were recuperating
from the hardships of the campaign.
These warriors from the Punjab and
Bengal are their fellow-soldiers, the
little hardy Gurkhas and Porthans
and Jats from the mountains on the
Afghan frontier, generally bear the
variations Of climate with the great
est fortitude. They declare they are
are lighting for their RAT or emper-
or and it Is not for them to complain.
Confident Of Victory
Just as well drilled and disciplined
as the soldiers Of any European pow
err, they go into battle with the full
assurance that they will be victors
When they first went into action they
disdained the protection OF the shell
ter trenches and darted across the
open at their opponents with their
bayonets and knives much to their
regret.
They. have since learned, like all
the other troops engaged in this war
of rabbit warrens, to bore their way
through the earth to get at their foes
and they have proven even more
adept at this kind of lighting than
their European comrades.
