(By Hal sheridan.)

New York, Aug. 4.-Advices from
Paris say that Georges Carpenter has
shouldered q gun and already is ut the
'front.', helping repulse the German in.
vasion of France. Georges has shown
that he is q courageous young man, but
his enlistment may end his career as a
star Of the prize ring.
Even IL he comes through the war
without injury, he will have to serve
out his enlistment in the French army.
Trainers here say that marching and
drilling takes the light footed speed
out of boxer, and speed always has
been his greatest asset
Carpenter is popular idol in
France, and France probably is losing
her hope of having n world s champion.
But the war is the big thing over there
now, and boxing and prize fighters
have been forgotten.
So, as is known, Carpenters mana
ger, Deschamps, did not enlist. He is
said to be just as unpopular among the
sporting public of Paris as Georges is
The reverse. Deschamps has q way of
hopping into the ring and claiming q
foul for his man whenever there is q
prospect of Carpenter getting licked
and this has lost him many friends
It's too bad, Deschamps' enemie,
say, "that Carpenter was permitted tC

UPHoLDs THE MARKET.

Editor Capital Journal: I have no
interest in either side of the cOntro'
versy between R. R. Ryan and the
Building Trades Council of Salem. But
as a resident of this city am actively
interested in protecting the public mar
ket against any organized effort to do
it injury. We have for years felt the
need in this town for place where pro-
Queer and consumer could get together
and escape the tyranny of the retail
trader. Mr.. Ryan was public spirited
enough to come to our relief in erecting
the splendid market building on South
Commercial street. That it is popular
with both farmer and city dweller is
shown by the rapidly growing patron
age on market days. The public market
is striking at the very foundation of
the high cost of living which has been
so expressing us and at the same time
enabling the producers to sell what
they have to offer at a satisfactory
price.
Everybody Is satisfied who does busl-
ness at Ryan s public market. 1t is the
labOring mans opportunity to greatly
decrease his home expenses. This mar.
ket place shields him from paying ex
Orbitant prices formerly exacted by re
tailers for handling farm products. II
is hard to believe that union labor
would so far forget itself as to try
to embarrass the public market by dis
play of banners and through the news
papers when the quarrel is only a petty
one at best and in which the public mai
no interest.
But the public market will remail
open for increase in popular favor. An,
interference with its free operation
either on the part of organized labO
or anyone whose interests may be an
tagonized by its operation will b
frOwned upon by now satisfied public

FOREST FIRES FIERCE
BUT NO DAMAGE DONE

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 14.-Despite the
fact that forest fires are raging
throughout the Sound country and that
the situation is the worst in years, prac.
tieally no timber has been lost thus far,
according to the Washington forest fire
association, which today adds, however,
that if the dry weather continues much
longer the flames will eat into green
timber, and then the damage will run
into the thousands of dollars.
With flames roaring over miles of
slashing and logged.off areas today, the
smoke is so tniek on Puget Sound that
pilots find it necessary to use the com,
pass in navigation.
The weather bureau bulletins declare
there is no break in the dry ahead for

San Francisco, Aug. l4.-That the

warship would do was to fly the Ger.

The most elaborate social af-
fair of the midsummer season
was the Bridge Luncheon, given
by Mrs. Joseph M. Berger, Jr.,
Thursday morning in compli-
ment to friends, who enjoyed
auction bridge from $50 to l.
! The beautifully arranged af-
fair was on the spacious veranda
which was artistically decorated
in pretty flowers and vines, and
with the cool morning breeze
made the whole very enjoya-
BILE event. A beautiful set of
sterling silver buckles was pre-
sented to Mrs. Clyde Wood, who
made the highest score at
bridge. Mrs. Berger was as
sisted in receiving her guests by
Mrs. w. A. Billingsley, Mrs A.
]. F'rauenthal and Mrs. Chas.
+ G. Henry.
At the conclusion of the card
games the tables were laid with
pretty lace doilies and an e.
laborate luncheon in four delic-
ious courses was served, includ-
ing grape fruit, broiled chicken,
peas in pattie shells, stuffed to-
matoes, hot rolls, sherry wine,
strawberry cream in canteloupe
shells.

Painter is only about fifteen
