Jim COFFEY TO TRY
FOR WILLARD'S TITLE
Dublin Giant Will Have to Wait for
Chance at Heavyweight Crown.
Reich Was Easy.

New York. May ST am going after
Jess Willard for title bout. 1 have
demonstrated my superiority over all
other aspirants for the heavyweight
crown and the champion must meet me-
OF course. Jess will want to reap the
fruits of his victory over Jack johnson
and I am willing to wait a reasonable
time for him to meet me, but there must
be no stalling"
This statement was made today by
Jim Coffey, the Dublin Giant. who added
another knockout to his long list of vic
tories when he put the ''haymaker" over
on Al Reich in the third round Of their
scheduled ten-round bout last night.
The bout was a thriller while it lasted.
More blows were struck and there was
more action in the limited affair than
there was in any ten-round exhibition
staged here in many a day. Reich had
his chance in the second round. He sud
denly changed his tactics and took the
offensive. forced Coffey around the ring
and had him staggering. Suddenly
Reich. with victory in his grasp,
took the defensive again. That was Cot
fey's opportunity. He recovered quickly.
He rained blow after blow on the former
amateur champion. and only the bell
saved Reich from a knockout in this
round Reich was easy for Coffey in the
third. and hard right to the jaw ended
the bout.

WARS EFFECT ON
 SOCIAL ADVANCE

An opinion widely prevalent few months ago was that the war would set back the cause of social legislation and the progressive movement generally by bringing to the front, with new empha- sis considerations of greed
 After observing the tremendous strides which the nations at war are making toward state socialism-toward public control of the food and drink supply, natural resources, banks. in dustries toward minute regulation of human relations in the interest of maximum collective efficiency - the Fresno, Cal, Republican is inclined to predict that Russia and America may be the only two greatest nations which will find themselves, after the war, liv ing under the old economic system. Be- tween autocratic Russia and democratic America will stretch socialistic Europe three systems"
 The power of the state to move to any extreme, in a crisis for the public defense which is receiving just now so many striking demonstrations abroad must, many publicists say, after the war raise anew in all countries the question: If the public good is para mount in war why should the special interest have the ascendancy in peace?
 Should this forecast be realized, in stead of being set back social progress will have been greatly enhanced by the war-even in the United States, though here perhaps not so swiftly or so dra- matically as in Europe

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 30, 1915

With Russia preparing a second monster army for service in the Spring and with the remaining allies hasten
 ing every preparation for the manufac- ture of war munitions and in otherwise preparing for further conflict. it is ap- parent that none of those nations have the least notion of quitting the deadly game, save in the event of the complet, and overwhelming defeat of one side or the other. In face of the repeated Ger
 man victories one cannot but wonder at the spirit of intense determination animating Russia and which leads her to continue the mighty struggle against such seemingly overwhelming odds. Despite the unprecedented armies flung into the field over year ago she has been compelled to relnquish every ad- vantage gained in the weary months of struggle; step by step she has been forced steadily backward until today she is battling with the savage fury of cornered animal for existence itself It is truly most convincing testimon- ial to the courage of her people that they are willing to run the risk of fur ther disasters. History contains no parallel of the tremendous struggle that nation has waged or the terrific de- feats it has been compelled to suffer at the hands of the Teuton armies. The tremendous losses considered, it may be said that Russia has suffered the most gigantic defeat of all time. Up to the present period the total of her hu- man losses is roughly estimated at nearly five millions-a far greater number than have fallen in any war of which we have record. Tn addition she has lost one of the most fertile sec tions of her territory and the total area wrested from her possession is, roughly estimated. equal to almost one-fourth of the entire territory of either one of her opponents. This in itself may be
 said to constitute the greatest territor-
 ial loss suffered by any nation since the
 all conqueoring days of Napoleon the
 First. And the end is not yet. Hardly
 day of late that does not bring the
 news of further disasters of continued

retreat before the overwhelming foe; of mighty forts relinquished before as- saults which can in no manner be checked. of fallen cities and slaugh- tered thousands. It requires a supreme courage to stand up under such tremen- dous blows and in refusing to discon- Iinue the struggle the Russians are be- traying an overwhelming purpose-to conquer or die. Russia could easily retire from the conflict at the present time without great loss of national prestige and doubtless the majority of nations would do so under like condi- tions. And yet 1t seems that shatter- ing disaster and nerve racking defeat are alike unable to still the mighty de- termination to crush the foe regardless of the cost or the prospect that the enemy may himeslf prove the victor in the end. The ultimate end of such a struggle is hard to conjecture.
The Nome daily nugget., 1915-08-30

The war has opened practically all industrial fields to the women of the countries of Europe. An American en- gineer says that the women who are now employed in the Russian munition factories, "worling on lathes, drilling machines, etc" are showing that their labor Is just as efficient as that of the men they have replaced Tn the Eng fish munitions factories the employ
 ment of women Is increasing. and there they too are demonstrating like effi- ciency. In Germany and to some ex- tent in England, likewise, women are taking the places of men in the hand ling of street car service. The employ ment of women conductors is practi cally universal and many are becom- l ing efficient motor operations. So
 rapidly are women taking the places of
 men in these employments that the
 British national union of railway men | is openly expressing concern as to the
 effect of women's labor upon mascu- line employment after the war is over. ] For another thing, the enlarged em- ployment of women in these various capacities is going a long way toward solving the problem of keeping alive the productive capacity of the nations, no matter how large a percentage of
 the men may be drafted as food for
 powder The women have made this
 years crops over a large share of con tinental Europe. outside of the relative ly small districts which are the inn mediate theatres of war The pro Liabilities are that, with the exception noted. crops will be up to the usual average If there is a woman available to take the place in industrial life made vacant by each man who zoe to the front, and there seems to be such a woman to be found wherever needed one of the anticipated war problems is noneXistent.-EX.
