than Willard, a fact generally admit
ted. But 80 was Jack johnson. Mo-
ran is handicapped by a comparative
ly short stature-at least compared
with the giant Willard, and also he
is outweighed by about 20 pounds, a
monumental handicap In a long fight.
Moran beat Bombardler Wells, man
who while not a champion, was con-
sidered one of the best in the division
few years ago. And Wells is no
dwarf, Willard adherents claim that
Jess could hold Moran off with his
left arm and kill him with his right,
which is hooted at by Moran sup
porters. One thing certain, however,
Moran would have to fight better
than he ever fought in his life to
whip the champion.
Coffey's size is his chief claim to
fame. There at least, he would be
Wizards equal, or nearly so. And
the big Irishman has improved all
around in the last year.
The match at the Garden between
this pair should be a bird Each has
something to fight fora chance at
the title If he wins, and that should
be incentive enough to make em
battle their heads off. Coffey's size
is offset somewhat by Moran's clever
ness, so there won't be any great ad-
vantage either way.

JESS WILLARD WILL
MEET ANY HEAVY IF
PURSE IS LARGE ONE
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.--A heavy
weight championship battle is in the
offing. The recent assertion of Tom
Jones, manager Of Jess willard, that
his charge was ready to meet any
heavy in the world providing a suf-
ficiently large purse, and a suitable
place for the battle, could be arrang-
ed, was the first feeler. The second
was the matching Of Frank Moran,
the Pittsburg heavy, who recently re-
turned from Paris and Jim Coffey,
the Irish mastadon, to do battle for
ten rounds, at the Garden on Oto-
Der 10.
There isn't a whole lot of question
any more that these two men are the
most eligible to meet the big Kan
san. Coffey, because of his size, gets
a bid, and Moran has to be consider
ed because he once gave Johnson
tough fight and because he is right
now in his prime. Whether either
of the men are capable of making
things interesting for Willard is a
matter that has as many sides as the
who-started-th -the-war wheeze.
Moran is cleverer with his two fists

UP TO FATHER

One summer day a farmer lad
noted for bashfulness and slowness
of speech appeared at the door of
neighbor named Smiley and ex-
planned that a load of hay which he
had been driving had upset. He asked
Smiley to help him reload it.
Willie" said the jovial farmer,
mother will soon have dinner ready.
Come in and eat with us and then we
will attend to the hay"

ooh, he wouldn't cafe" said Smil-
ey. ell tell him how it was" and
thereupon he ushered the young man
into the house.
After dinner he left his wife and
daughter to entertain Willie while he
read the paper, over which he fell
asleep. Some time afterward he
awoke and suggested to Willie that
they walk down to the back pasture
and look at some calves before re-
loading the hay.
I'D like to co." said Willie, 'but 1
don't know what father would say"
2 ooh, he wouldn't care" said Smil--
ey. "By the way, where is your father
today?"
"Why, he's under that load of hay"

bELG|ANS HURT AT
 ENGLISH ATTITUDE
Attack Made on British SOcialists-French Also
 Criticize Them

London April 5.-(Correspondence of
 the Associated Press.)-"We Begians and
 French, who are now suffering most
 cruelty from German aggression. are
 grieved and astonished to find that in
 the eyes of large part of the trade
 unionists of Great Britain, the war now
 raging does not seem much more import
 ant than a colonial expedition. In many
 places, indeed. the working men act ex-
 actly as if England were not engaged as
 we are, in struggle for life or death"
 In these words NJ. Emile Vandervelde
 the Belgian minister of state and leader
 of the socialist party of his own country
 sums up his case against British social
 ists in an open letter to the Daily Citizen, Hyndman, the leader of the social dem-
 ocratic party in England, had assured
 M. Georges Clemenceau. the French so-
 cialist that the vast majority of British
 workmen and socialists strongly believed in the war. vandervelde denies Hydn-
 mans statement, adding:
 'I have been told that in certain fac tories of arms and ammunition where there are Belgians and English the Eng fish advise the Belgians not to exert
 their full strength so as to avoid inten- sive exploitation of their powers of labor. Sucn actlol fs itklllindlt III iiiht ol ptdtt. If persisted in now, it is obviously be- cause the workers of England do not sufficiently realize the gravity of the situation.
 But we may ask if there is another cause-if there is not in certain quarters some bad feeling, and if the propa ganda of peace at any rate is not in part responsible for a crisis which Earl Kitch- ener deplores and Lloyd George strongly denounces.
 Vandervelde points to the resolution adopted by the international labor party at London, declaring victory for German imperialism would be the downfall of liberty and democracy in Europe. and asks Keir Harde and the labor party leaders what is being done to carry out this resolution. It is the duty of these leaders. Vandervelde urges, to enforce the seriousness of the war upon the
 laboring men of Great Britain.

Boy In Fierce Fight
 With Big Trail Dogs

From the New York World
 Fairbanks, Ala ska Jack Craig II years old, son of Fred Craig of Fox was saved in the nick Of time from being bitten to ceath in a thrilling battle with trail dogs recently
 Three large dogs, half wolf and half Malamute, attacked Jack within quar- ter of mile of the village. He fought off the big brutes while he called for help.
 John the Finn a local trapper, heard his calls and saw the battle from a dis tance of about 5000 feet He ran from his rabbit traps across the snow. When he lifted the boy, who had thrown himself face downward to escape the dogs the big animals jumped on the m9n and for time the trapper had to fight This sec ond battle ended only by the timely ar rival of crowd of men who ran out from Fox, bringing with them a gun.
 The boys clothes were torn to shreds and upon his scalp alone 21 marks were counted by the physician, who was sum- moned from Fairbanks.
 The dogs are handsome specimens. They belong here in the city and are usually kept shut up, but 1t is thought that when let out Friday morning they wandered out along the trails in seerch of rabbits. From them they must have gotten their lust for blood.

COTTON YARN PRICES PRIMER AND BROAD Higher Value on Cotton Seems to Be Generally
 Accepted

New York. April 24-Cotton goods and cotton yarn markets have grown 1rmer and broader during the week The higher value on cotton seems to be more gen. erally accepted in the buying and there have been many evidences of increa sing confidence In the intrinsic worth of mer- chandise. In the colored goods division the acute dyestuffs situation in manufac- turing circles is becoming more widely recognized as a merchandising influence by buyers They are now trying more generally to cover futures requirements. Many additional lines have been placed ar value or withdrawn, while some houses now decline to take orders for certain shades at any price. This is notably true Of indigo blues and fast reds
 Prints and percales have sold freely for future delivery, the higher prices be- ing firmly maintained Bleaohed cottons continue in steady request, some leading brands being closely under order for weeks to come. Discounts were shortened on cotton duck and the large export move ment continues.
 Fine and fancy cotton are in better demand for spot and future delivery, many of the finishing companies being very busy. Ginghams, denims, tickings. colored duck plaids and other colored staples are firmer and higher. Manufac- turers have been less willing to accept business for late delivery at current prices.

Task for Human Spiders

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Every three or four years 1t becomes necessary to paint the Brooklyn bridge in order to prevent the corrosion and de- tericration of Its structural members. This is a task which requires the services of small army of human spiders who climb about oyer the web of cables and stringers with almost as much compos- ure and agility as If they were insects in- stead of men.
 With buckets and brushes they clin2 in the network, swinging in the wind as the constant stream of traffic surgeo across the East river. Between them and the river beneath there Is moro than 200 feet of space and the cables
 Every exposed strand and spot of tho whole structure must be painted. so the men scramble over the cables until they reach the topmost point of the great tow CTS. which extend 272 feet above the water, ani finally end up on the scaffolds sus- pended beneath the structure, where the mastheads of passing vessels scrape tho planlSngs, sometimes missing them by . margin of only few inches. This work continues usually for six or eight months before 1t Is completed, and costs approx imately $50,000"
