PROMOTER CURLEY
LEAVES FOR HAVANA
Says His Move Does Not
Mean That Fight VIII
Be Switched.
Willard Lets Down on His
Training While He Is
Waiting.

Ell PASO, Feb. 24.-Jack Curley,
promoter of the Johnson-Willard bout
at Juarez, announced tonight that he
would leave tomorrow for Havana
where Johnson remained today. He
said that his trip to Cuba Of necessity
did not mean the transfer Of the fight
to Havana.
However, he ventured no predic-
ton as to the outcome of the already
complicated situation. Curley's an
nouncement followed his receipt OF a
cablegram from Johnson, the contents
of which were not given out
1t was announced today that Jess
willard, the white hope" who ex-
pected to meet the big negro Jack
Johnson at Juarez, Mexico, would re-
duce materially his training until
something definite was received re-
garding Johnson's belated arrival for
the fight originally set for March G..
Jack Curley, promoter of the bout
while admitting today that it had been
postponed indefinitely, would not ven
ture a prediction ON the probable
date.
Since Wizards disagreement yes
terday with his maneger, Tom Jones,
all was reported as having gone
smoothly at the training camp in the
Rio Grande valley. The opponent Of
the heavyweight champion did some
boxing today but, II was said, he
would alternate this daily. Physl-
clans have pronounced willard in good
shape, but the indefinite postpone
ment of the bout brought fear that he
would overtrain before Johnson APP
peared at JuareZ.
Promoters of the fight said tonight
that nothing had been heard from
Johnson since yesterday. 1t was be-
leved that he still was in Havana.

LONDON. Feb. 24.-QQ;32 p. ~
The German blockade Of thS British
isles has been in effect for a week,
with the result that, so far as is
known, two Norwegian, one French
and five British steamers have been
sunk or torpedoed by submarines, with
the surprisingly small loss OF four
lives. Two Of these steamers, the Bel
ridge and the Dinorah, succeeded In
reaching port.
In, "a nt baV CT 10 % get
reported that two German submarines
are missing and that third had been
hit and possibly sunk by u French de-
stroyer.
Besides the vessels which fell vic
Tins to the submarines, two American
and one Norwegian steamer have been
sunk by mines in the North sea and
the Swedish steamer Specia and one
or two British steamers are overdue
and IL is feared have been lost with
their crews.
In almost every case the steamer
sunk by the submarine was a small
and slow vessel and at least three of
them were caught while at anchor or
while they were barely under way.
This, with the failure Of a submarine
to hit a fast cross channel steamer
at which 1t fired torpedo, apparently
proves to the satisfaction of British
naval writers that the steamers with
modern speed, which observe obvious
precautions, can Invariably escape the
underwater craft, and such vessels are
continuing to cross the seas.
Insurance Rates Go Up.
The blockade, however, has had the
effect Of increasing insurance rates
and some neutral owners are keep

Refuse to enlist! This is the cry
that goes out from the Anti-Enlist-
ment League, launched last June, just
when people were getting thoroughly
excited over the war. "A most in
opportune time for peace league!
Damned traitors, I'll report you TO
Washington" How dare you talk
about peace, when what we need IS
to get ready for war;" Such was the
reception we met with in those first
weeks; varied by something like this:
4NThe Anti-Enlistment League is just
what we need" ut is the most un-
compromising anti-war organization in
the United States" Than God for
the stand you have taken!" And
these so varying criticisms, from the
vilest abuse to the heartiest coopera-
ton, made us chiefly realize this fact:
that there are two kinds of Prepared
ness, Preparedness for War, and Pre-
paredness for Peace.
Now this is obvious enough to any
sane mind; you cannot love and hate
the same person at the same time.
And no more can you prepare for
peace when you are attempting to
shoot up navy that is already the
third largest in the world by a five
hundred million dollar appropriation.
But lots of people in this country are
maddened by fear; the capatilist
press gives them fresh injections each

panlc! The best way to keep your
sen sane is to work nard to stop it;
YOU can save many lives by your cool
common sense. and in these bitter
days that men, for gain, have forced
upon US, you can do great service
to your nation and the humanity that
is above all nations; you can teach it
to prepare for peace; not the armed
peace that caused the explosion Of
all Europe, but the righteous peace
of justice and good will.
For war two things are necessary:
great munitions and armament, and
men to work them. You can fight the
| first by writing your Congressman
we can be thankful for Meyer Lon
don-and your Senator to vote against
( the Wilson-Defense program, and by
rousing others to do the same. You
can fight the second necessity by re-
fusing, if men, to enlist; if women,
BY refusing approval to the enlist
ment of your men.
This last, to keep men from the
misery and degradation Of military
life, is the purpose of the Anti-En-
listment League. You the invited to
join it by signing the following
pledge:

prime movers of the Defense" pro-
gram, patriotism is the means and
profit the end" patriotism which
they expect us to buy with our life;
profits to them that means starva.

Invasion is an absurdity; but It
pays nightly to make us believe in
it, and that submarines can save us
from it. How could we have submar-
ines enough for the three thousan
miles of our coast, But the real point
is that shrapnel and submarines do
no Defend: that what they do is "the
great Illusion" All Europe was "pre-
pared not the least, and
all Europe suffers. You cannot take"
a nation of a hundred million; and.
a significant fact too often overlook

world, Assyria, Persia, Greece, Rome,

greatness.

add your strength to ours in the strike
