By eliminating Langford, Jeanette
and McVey Willard will very sensibly
avoid the toughest of the heavies now
in the game. He might be able to score
over all of these. but his position Is
decidedly safer now that he has drawn
the color line.
Willard gives promise of being a very
popular titleholder He Is said to be
modest and not inclined to leave the
straight and narrow path even when
his money begins to roll in. Pugilism
has been helped great deal by the
defeat of johnson, and those promot-
ing the sport will see to it that it will
be some time before the worlds cham
pionship will again be held by a col
ored fighter.
1t pays to run out everything in base

field is caught. and proves an easy out.
but the player who will get as far
around the circuit as he can while the
play is being made stands a better
chance to win tlo game should mis-
take be made by the fielder.
1t is the best kind of policy for a
manager to insist that every ball that
is hit. regardless of where 1t may be
or how certain the out may seem, be
lost would be won.
Reports from those who sat at the
ringside at Havana the other day In
s!ble for Willard to win the title. For
twenty rounds Jack johnson went at
his usual speed. hitting when and
where he pleased. and. though his
years. he looked to have the fight
much his own way. But twenty was
as far as he could 60 Age began to
tell at this stage. and from that period
to the finish youth was served.
Willard did not tire as did his op-
ponent. He held up under the strain
of going this distance and finally was
rewarded with a victory when John
son could not defend himself against
his opponents blows.
No doubt emanating from Fed
source came the story that the Inter-
national League was planning to come
to a compromise with the Federals
President Barrow, after descending
from the ceiling where this rumor sent

POINT THE PATH
TO WORLD PEACE
THIS IS THE STATEMENT MADE
BY WILSON AT PAN-AMER-
ICA CONFERENCE

Washington, May 24.-President
Wilson, in speaking at the opening OF
the Pan-American financial conference
expressed the hope that the Ameri-
cans might show the world the path
to peace. !,
The president was loudly applauded
by the delegates as he entered the hall
of the Americas in the Pan-American
union building, where the meeting is
being held.
On the platform sat the members
of the cabinet, while the audience in
cluded high government officials in
addition to representatives Of South
and Central American countries.
The president declared the people
of the Americas are not trying to
make use Of one another, but are try
ing to be of use to one another. he
spoke of the "handsome rivalry
which he said was good for the ma
tions.
The lock of physical means of COM
munication between the Americans, he
said, stood somewhat in the way Of
development of commerce and friend
ship.
In advocating more ships are need
ed in the Pan-American trade, also the
opening of new routes, the president
said that if private capital cannot es-
tablish such means of communication,
the government must undertake to do
so. .....

WILL FURNISH
LOT MORE MEN
CANADA CALLS FOR MORE VOL
UNTEERS- THOUSAND
TO BE CALLED

Ottawa, May 21.-The call has gone
forth for 10000 more troops from
Canada for service overseas. At
full meeting of militia council it was
decided to at once proceed to the rais-
ing of seven new battalions Of infan-
try and several brigades OF artillery.
These will be in addition tx. the
third division from which reinforce
ments have already been drawn by
companies from the various battallons
which battalions are again busy re-
cruiting up to strength again.
The new battalions will be raised
as follows: One battalion from Tor
onto, one from Kingston, one from
Montreal, one from Winnipeg, one
from Manitoba and Saskatchewan,
one from Alberta, and one from BRIT
ish Columbia. 1t is probable that IN
each city the various militia regi-
ments will supply company each
to the battalion organized there, as,
for instance, in Montreal where one,
company will be raised by the VIC
toria rifles, one by the 65th regiment.
one bv the Irish Rangers and one by
the Grenadier Guards.
The disposition of the new artillery
brirades HAS not yet been definitely
decided upon.
Forty Thousand at the Front
1t is estimated that there are now7
10000 Canadian soldiers across the
water, 10000 of whom are on the fif-
ing line, not allowed for casualties.
The second division is said to have
landed It is stated that there is a
total of 10000 at present under arms
This leaves $4,000 still in Canada
These include the third infantry con-.
tingent and about 13 regiments ct
rnounter rifles Of 500 men each, most
of whom have now volunteered to go
forward as Infantry. Whether It Il
intended to place a third full division
in the field or not has not been an
nounced, the impression, however, be-
ing that it will be sufficient task to-
provide reinforcements for, and keep
I'd to strength two full divisions on
the firing line together with the Prln-
cess Patraeias and the Strathcona
Horse and Royal Canadian Dragons.

WAR ON AUSTRIA
AUSTRIA MAKES AEROPEANE
RAID IN ITALIAN CITIES
ARMY READY

The Hauge, May 24.-From infor-
nation reaching here it is understood
that the Germans and Austrians have
concentrated approximately 100000
men on the Italian frontier. They
occupy strategic positions in order
to meet attack or attempt to strike
the first heavy blow in an endeavor
to dishearten their new combatants
at the beginning of the campaign:
Germans constitute the larger part OF
this force which is made up Of thirty
four divisions of approximately 70
900 men each. Only ten of these divi-
sions are Austrians.
London, May 24.-With the news
that the first blow has been struck
by an aeroplane attack on Venice, in
the war between Italy and Austria
Hungary, came reports Of numerous
clashes between border patrols, where
both Italy and Austria have large
armies along the frontier.
It is assumed that a big campaign
will open in this mountainous region:
Italy also is said to have assembled
an army on the southeastern coast OF
the country across the Adriatic from
Albania.
Official announcement has been
made at Petrograd that the Austro-
German forces after sweeping across
! the western half of Galicia, have been
checked They are now said to have
assumed the defensive, their efforts
to compel general retreat of the
Russians from the San river having
failed.
Constantinople advices say the
French and British have increased
their land forces at the Dardanelles
to 10000 men. Originally 10000 dis
embarked.
The Turkish government announced
the loss of an old gunboat sunk by a
submarine.
The military situation in France and
Belgium remains unchanged.
Reports from Holland and France
saw the Germans intend to fall back
on their second line, for the purpose
! of shortening their front and releas-
ing troops for service against Italy
After being virtually in state OF

ROOSEVELT WINS
IN LIBEL CASE
JURY RETURNS VERDICT AFTER
TAKING FORTY BALLOTS
ROOSEVELT ELATED

Syracuse, N. Y, May 22.-The jury
in the trial of the William Barnes suit
for libel against Colonel Roosevelt to-
day returned verdict in favor of the
defendant after considering for over
eleven hours the question of placing
all costs upon the plaintiff. The jury
believes everything Roosevelt charged
was true, therefore the plaintiff not
having been libeled, was entitled to no.
damages.
The foreman Of the jury announced
a verdict for the defendant. Then the
Jury was polled. The jurors answered
for the defendant, then the clerk hest-
tated, and called the name Of Edward
Burns who voted for the plaintiff yes
terday. Burns arose, and in deep
voice said: "For the defendant" The
twelfth Juror gave the same answer
Roosevelt was elated.
Before the verdict the court warn
ed against demonstrations. Despite
this some stood on chairs waving their
arms, but there was no applause.
After the announcement of the ver--
dict the attorneys for Barnes objected
to it's receipt. The objection was over
ruled. The jury was thanked by
Justice Andrews, and then filed out in
to the Jury room. Roosevelt broke OF
his handshaking, and followed the
Jury, shaking the hand of each man
and saying:
'In my whole life shall work IN
the interest of the public. None OF
you gentlemen shall ever have
chance to say have done other
wise."
! The colonel was then photographed
with the jury.
After being photographed the, col->
onel added to the jury: !,
! 81 am more moved by the verdict
than it is possible for me to explain.
None of you will ever have cause TO-
! regret your action. l am especially
gratified that the verdict came from q
jury composed Of men of every poll
| tical faith"
The foreman said forty ballots were
taken before the verdict was finally
agreed upon. :.
A crowd gathered at the doors Of
the courthouse and cheered Juror
Burns as he left the building.
Roosevelt declined to talk for pub
lication, but his counsel issued a
statement explaining the gratitude
over the verdict, which he declared,
was just.
The foreman of the jury said after
the first ballot the voting stood IL to !
in favor of the defendant. Those fig
ures never changed, Burns refusing to
change his vote until this morning:
eve are all very tired, assure you,'
the foreman concluded.
