man. Willard had fought his own fight and overcome the older master by the sheer force of youth; the thir- ties had to retire in favor of the twenties.
 Willard appears to be most un- assuming champion. There was no boasting on his part after the fight. The same quiet modesty was in evi- dence which he displayed for days before the fight while training in Havana, and which won for him many friends and caused the Cubans to look upon prizefighters in an entirely diff ferent light from that which they had been accustomed.
 Was There q Knockout?
 There is much discussion as to whether Johnson really was knocked out. In the sense of being smashed into unconsciousness, he certainly was not put out. The consensus of opinion is that Johnson felt that there was no possibility of his winning, and when knocked down chose to take the count rather than rise and stand further punishment. Johnson often has stated that fighting is business, and that he would not foolishly submit to re- peated knockdowns when he found he had met his master.
 A second or two after Jack Welsh, the referee had counted ten Johnson quickly got up. It was we'll that he did so, for a moment later a rush of spectators to the fighting platform all but smothered the pugilists. For an instant it seemed as if trouble was threatened, and some fifty or more of the several hundred soldiers sta toned about the fight arena jumped into the ring and formed circles around vanquished and victor.
 Under escort of the soldiers Willard and, Johnson went to their dressing rooms, while the crowd cheered and broke into wild discussion. Willard was out of his dressing room in. a few moments and in an automobile on his way back to Havana. He was escort ed half way to the city from the Ma rianao race track, where the fight was held, by troop of Cuban cavalry.
 Crowds lined the streets and mar row roadways, and the new white champion was loudly cheered. He was decidedly the favorite of the crowd all through the fight, and is the hero of the Island.
 Automobiles returning to the city from the fight flew white flags, and thus the news spread far and wide that the white challenger had beaten the negro champion. As Willard came along. the crowds in the streets waved flags and linen handk erchiefs tied to sticks. At one point a group of negro children, who evidently had heard that Johnson was the victor, waved black flags at the white cham pion, who was much amused.

 The Hague, Netherlands, April G. Clifford Pinchot, ex-chief forester of the United States, who, 1t is under stood, had been acting as special agent for the state department at Washington in the European war zone, has been expelled from Belgium by the German authorities. ..
 Washington, April 6.-Gifford Pin chot, according to advices to the state department, reached Antwerp, Bel gium, but was not permitted to pro- ceed further in his work as member of the American relief commits sion in Belgium, although detailed as a special diplomatic agent of the American government.
 The German authorities objected because MT. 'Pinchot's sister is Lady Allen Johnstone, wife of the former British minister to Denmark, who is still in the British diplomatic ser- vice. Germany has insisted from the beginning that all agents and consuls of the American government in Bel gian territory under German military occupation should have no connection, however remote, with her enemies.
 It is understood that the state de- partment will assign MT. Pinchot to other work in the war zone.
