DR.. Harvey w. Wiley. food specialist.

contribution to the cause of world
peace" The dcctor-farmer sent s. to

In transmitting the contribution the

Here is the doctors letter transmitting
the five" to Chairman Kingsley:
Il am enclosing my check for $ for
preliminary eApInSes for the League to
Enforce Peace. While the necessity for
this league was never more acute than it
is now. the opportunity for its activities
are probably at a minimum. The world
Is war mad. and in my opinion. the best
safeguard of peace in this country at the
present time is nationwide prepared
ness.
IF we had a trained army of 5.00o. .OoJ
men and a navy to match we would be
able to deal as promptly with the acute
conditions arising in our relations to the
warning nations in Europe and toward
Mexico as we are now doing with poor
httie f1ditl. Inc TefndrkaDle prOInptneSS
Of our action toward this infantile nation
is in sharp contrast with our dallying
and uncertain attitude in Mexico and in
Europe.
IF this country comes to war it will be
because of our utter unfitness to engage
therein. A firm believer in peace. l am
still more a firm believes In self-defense.
I suggest. therefore. that as a safeguard
to peace our league for the present de-
vote itself to preparing for war

on the chairs and shouted their ap-
prevail In vain did the justice pound
for order. Court attendants were
powerless to quell the disturbance.

the people were driven to the corri-
dor while Sanger was hurried to the
Tombs.
An impromptu meeting was held in

WILLIAMS IS DISQUALIFIED.
Fouls Ertle in Fifth Round, but
Does Not Lose Title.

ST Paul. Sept. l-Eighteen-year-old
Johnny Ertle. of st. Paul. is now the
chamricn Eantam-wcight of the world.
He took the title from Kid Williams, Of
Baltimore, at the Auditorium tonight
when In the fifth round of a scheduled
ten-round bout. Williams landed vicious
right uppercut that sent Ertle reeling to
HIS lines with a cly that he had been
fouled.
Referee George Barton at once wavei
Williams to his conner and summoned a
physician. who ,Aamined Ertle and gave
it as his opinion that the Kewpie had
been fouled 6aI ton then announced that
Ertie was the W .Ler On a foul. and h.s
decision carried With i. tae champion
ship.
Chicago. Sept 10.-Technically the BAN
tam-weiGht titles does not switch from
Kid Williams 20 Johnny Ertle on Ertle's
yictory of tonight on foul in the fifth
roand. The reason is this-under the
Minnesota boxing law there can be no
winner and no loser. When the referee
called the foul and stepped the bout he
simply disqualified Williams for striking
an illegal blow He did not declare Ertle
a/winner or Williams a loser because
that would have been against the law,
which specifies that there must be do de-
cision. If Ertle had won on a knock
out he would have been popularity ac-
chained as the champion and could have
usurped the title in that way.
