SUOENBERG IS
NAMED WINNER
HUSKY SAN FRANCISCO FIGHT
Err PROVES TO BE TOO MUCH
FOR COFFEY

Once again was the old adage-
youth must be served-proven in the
ten round fistic contest between
Walter Coffey of Tonopah and john
ME %Sudenberg of San Francisco last
night at the Hippodrome theatre be-
fore the most enthusiastic audience
of fight fans ever assembled in Gold
field. The end of the fight found
the audience in a frenzy OF excite
ment and when Referee Arnold hoist
ed Sudenberg's glove in token of vic
tory the crowd voiced its approval
of the decision in no uncertain q
ner.
At no time during the fight did the
clever Coffey have a chance with his
Youthful opponent, and with the ex-
cepticn of the seventh round, which
vent to Coffey by a shade, and the
thin Il. an even round, the fight :as
all Sudenberg's. From the first tap
of the gong Sudenberg Went after
his man hammer and tpngs, the IL
Id! bell finoipe him still trying to
land a haymaker.
1t was Sudenberg's youth which
proved the victor in the contest
against Coffey's ring g~eneralship.
Time and again Coffey was forced
to bring all of his reSourcefulness
into play to ward of fthe continual
attacks of the Frisco boy, who slow
ly but surely was wearing him down.
Poor Judgment of distance on the
part of Sudenberg in the ninth round
when he had Coffey groggy after a
succession of rights and lefts to the
head. and the remarkable GOODNESS
and generalship of Coffey, alone pre-
vented the latter from taking a trip
to dreamland. Times without num-
Der Sudenberg, while in a clinch
shot a short uppercut to Coffeys
chin, driving his head back with the
force of a catapult.
In the seventh round Coffey made
his best showing of the fight. In
this period he manage dto beat Sud-
enberg to the punch by stepping in
side of the latter's eve active left
hook with a straight left. His
squirt, which aroused the TonOpah
fans to applause, proved to be only
a flash in the pal and ~Sudenberg in
the three remaining rounds kept
Walter entirely on the defensive.
Many of the Tonopah boosters wag-
cred money on their favorite and
plenty more was offered at odds that
Coffey would get away with the long
end of the purse.
Walter Drabnick acted as master
of ceremonies and introduced a like
ly looking middleweight named
O'Brien, as challenging the winner.
Jack Thompson officiated as time
keeper and Emory Arnold served as
the third man in the ring.
The first preliminary was featured
by several knockdowns, equally dis
tributed between the principals, Jim
ME Welsh of Tonopah and "Speck
Duffy of Goldfield. Welsh's prin-
cipal stock in trade was pushing his
opponent through the ropes, incl
dentally bringing storms of Kisses
from the crowd Duffy is a good
defensive fighter but cannot take
the initiative and force the fighting.
Several times during the mill, had
he followed up his opportunities and
kept after his man, he would have
won in short order as Welsh was sad
ly out of condition. Doctor Ducey
who refereed this event gave Welsh
the decision.

Stories of the War
Arras Like Pompeii.


The comparison made between some
of the towns destroyed by war and the
ruins of Pompeii is not applicable TO
Arras. Here there is no uniformity
nor logic in the destruction. In the
midst of demolished edifices, houses
are found nearly intact In some cases
the devastation began at the top. in
others at the bottom, depending upon
the point of explosion Of the protec-
tile.
The population OF Arras, which was
&c, 900 before the war. dropped to A.
geo at Christmas. after two and half
months of bombardment, and was on
" 5000 at Easter. In June there were
still $500 people there. but $50 needy
persons, 100 persons suspected of pill
laying and about 500 citizens whose
presence was not useful have been
sent away since. The 1000 persons
remaining have been able to justify
their presence by some utility to the
town. They are obliged to stick to the
cellars; they sleep, eat and work
there; what business goes On is trans
acted there. The fancy goods store
is in the cellar" This sign. which has
its counterpart in many places. is seen
on the doorpost of one building.
The use of shells emitting suffoeat-
ing gas when they explode compli-
Gates cellar existence, by requiring
the stoppage of the windows with
sacks of mofstened sand, yet the spir-
its of the last thousand are undaunt-
that the authorities will take them
away forcibly.
German aircraft are regularly cir
cling over the town and their ap-
pearance is generally a prelude to
bombardment.

THE RIGHT ACTION. .

The action taken by this country
id notifying Austria that it's minister,
DR.. Constautin Dumba, is no longer
acceptable here as the diplomatic rep
resentatiYe oe that country, and re-
qlteSting his recall was the only thing
which It could do under the circum-
stances and preserve its dignity.
AS set forth in the notification DR.,
Dumba has admitted the part which
he has played in the conspiracy which
was planned to hamper the war NUM-
tfons factories Of this country and the
employment Of ar American armed
With an American passport to assist
n carrying the information to and
ketting the sanction Of his govern
hent.
THE demand for a recall has not
been taken without a full considera-
ton Of the facts. It was a studied
move even though from the very first
ltfwas realized that this country could
take no other course with credit to it
self. To have excused the act on the
ground that it was an indiscretion
would have simply extended an invi-
Eation to representatives of foreign
nations so inclined to go out and do
likewise. 1t would have been an ad-
mission that Austria could reach over
Into this country and take a hand
In the conduct of our domestic af-
fairs ard the operation of our indus
tries with impunity.
It YVES situation which called for
The abandonment Of the watchful wait
ing policy and the action should have
wholesome effect in clearing up any
misunderstanding which may exist as
10 the attitude this country takes on
he violation of its neutrality and its
lights.

NOT HURT WITH THE PUBLIC.

Under similar methods as pursued
in other cities merchants Of Norwich
have been brought into court for the
evasion Of the law concerning the CIV
ing Of proper weights and measures
and the carrying Of proper labels on
canned and bottled goods. 1t has in
variably been the case as the evidence
shows, that the violation Of the law
was unintentional and there IL reason
to believe as in the case OF one n1er-
chant, who says that he always intends
to give his trade q square deal, in
formed his clerks that full weight
must be given in every instance and
supposed that It was being done, that
such is the situation I'm the great ma
iority Of the cases.
In most Of the cases the evidence
appears to be purely technical. Such
Is manifested on the face Of the evi-
dence without the disclosure of any
fixed" scales or a studied effort on
the part of the storekeepers to cheat
their customers. There is no reason
to believe that the merchants who
have been in business here for years
and will continue to be for great
many more would attempt to sell
themselves in SO cheap a manner. Pub
lie opinion is not going to treat them
in the way which It has been neces-
sary to do under the strict provisions
Of the law. The purchasing public
is not going to judge them on the
ground of technicalities. They Will
not believe that their acts were in
territorial.
1t may be that the cases win be a
| blessing through bringing about bet
ter understanding Of the law, but
when it comes to law enforcement II
is believed that there are many ways
in which It could be done for the
greater good Of the people without de-
pending upon technicalities and there
by attempting to discredit reputable
| merchants.

ganization to that effect
There is no doubt that Mr.. bort
takes different view Of the situation
than great many other hyphenated
Americans for 1t is not to be believed
that the rank and file would sacrifice
their rights and liberties in this coun-
try.~and stand by an invasion of 1t
even by the country of their birth.
It is believed that they have more
patriotism for the land of their adop-
ton. That there are those who would
follow Mr.. Dort's course is entirely
plausible but should the test come 1t
is believed the number would be small.
But with the Friends of Peace work
ing for the prevention Of ting export
Of war munitions there is disclosed the
fact that their name is a misnomer.
They are working for the assistance Of
one side of the present war and they
are already standing against the rights
and neutrality Of this country.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Army Reserve.

Mr. Editor: In these days of war
and much talk of our preparedness OF
war a great deal has been said about
our reserve army.
A great number Of people believe
that we have as large a regular army
as we need, and that our national
guards are a sufficient army reserve.
Still a greater number believe that we
had better do more than we have ever
done in the defense of our country.
The following is offered for the con-
sideration of the greater number:
The police body "a federal until
as an army reserve.
This does not mean military po-
lice system as found in Germany,
but a civil service body, semi-military
in its training. and embodying other
wise, the present police system.
As a suggestion we might say that
this new system would apply to all
cities employing 20 patrolmen and
more.
This system, as stated before, would
be a civil service body, maintained
in a similar manner as our post office
system, whose heads or commission
ers would receive their appointments
in the same manner as postmasters
do.
Such a reserve would have the use
of the armories, and drill in the same
manner as the national guards.
According to police statistics at
hand, such a system would place on
reserve. and army OF 10000 or more.
Not reserve as large as those Of
some European countries. but sum
cient>for our needs. Besides the econ
omy of this system, 1t would furnish
a class of fearless men, who are COM
manding. who are in touch at all
times with headquarters and In case
of war would furnish to a volunteer
army a body OF first class ofhcers. who
with the assistance of the regular
army would be able to make soldiers
of the citizen volunteers in a short
time.

in we behold the force of purpose
which tells for progress. Dogmatism's
star utterance is: II am right and you
are wrong-do as do, or you are
lost!" 1t limits thought and action and
promotes error. The trouble with
many religious people is they are not
positive enough. They murmur at the
conflicts of life and seek ready-made
peace in heaven, apparently blind to
the fact that the divine blessing is
best when bestowed for making peace
here. Bumptiousness is positivism run
ming wild, and is always offensive and
deserving of suppression. The ele-
ments of success dwell in positivism-
it is the mainstay of character and of
business and of government. 1t is usu-
ally well represented by stability
wherever the right is involved.

MAKING AND DopeINe PROMISES

From the note which this country
has received from Germany, follow
ing the return Of the submarine that
sank the Arabic. that country accepts
the statement OF the commander. who
declared that he acted in self defense.
It means that It looks upon his actions
as justified under the view Of the cir
cumstances which he took. There Is
no intention Of dfsavowing the act
regardless Of the fact that there was
no intention of ramming or attacking
the underwater craft because for the
best reason in the world the sub
marine was not seen.
The. question therefore with both
sides maintaining that they acted in
a manner fully in accordance with
their rights, and the reiteration by
Germany that it's policy of not attack
ing liners unless the submarines are
attacked or in danger Of 1t. resolves
itself into a dispute OF what Germany
will maintain is DO worse than an
error of judgment.
From such viewpoint 1t is not
surprising that Germany offers to refer
the matter to The Hague for adjust
ment as to the matter Of reparation
1t would serve their purpose admirably
It would permit the continuance Of
such policy and the repetition OF
such errors of Judgment whenever a
vessel is sunk without warming II
would allow them to carry on the prac-
tlce to the end Of the war, for 1t is
well understood that the submission
Of the question to The Hague cannot
be expected to bring a decision for 8
long time to come and by that time
Germany would have succeeded in its
purpose. If Germany Is going to re-
form it's submarine tactics and be sin.
cere about 1t, 1t must do something
besides make alluring promises and
then dodge the keeping Of them.
