Far be il from us 10 become melan-
choly over the great boXhght game, IN
which we find instruction and amuse-
ment. Also, far be it from US 70 join
the hoary headed chorus which chants
lugubriously: Nothing is like 1t used
TO be-"
But yet
Somehow the champions Of to-day
do not come up 10 our ideals. Their
names have not the glamour of the
champions Of the past. Run down the
list:
Heavyweight division, Jess viii
lard.
Middleweight division, Al Nc
Coy.
Welterweight division, ? ? : ?
or Kid Lewis.
Lightweight division, Freddie
Welsh.
Featherweight division, Johnny
Kilbane.
Bantamweight division, Johnny
Ertle; and debate.
Willard. the heavyweight champion
ia not temperamentally a fighter. lie
is something Of circus freak. At pres
ent he seems unbeatable. Perhaps
even the demi-gods of the older days
Of the ring would find him impossible
of subjugation. But he is an unsatis-
factory champion.
The titleholder in the middleweighi
division is bitter sort OF joke when
we remember that this is the class in
which Bob FitzsImmons and the late
Stanley Ketchel starred.
The welterweight division il vacant
at the top. despite the efforts of Jim
mic Johnston to fill the place.
In the lightweight division we have
Freddie Welsh, who has been out
pointed dozens Of times in decision
bouts. and who has permitted the class
which was next in popularity TO the
heavyweight division to fall into dis
repute.
In the featherweight division Johnny
Kilbane, the titleholder, is a consum-
mately clever boxer when he wants 70
be. Perhaps he is the most satisfac
tory of the champions.
In the bantamweight division there
is a question as 10 who Is the title
holder Both Williams and Ertle claim
il. but the two claimants do not seem
overanxious to put their claims to tn'
supreme test long ring contest.
II is the limited contest. of course
which makes the unsatisfactory cham
pion. Under the tcn-round. no-decisior
rule. Freddie Welsh could fight ter
rounds per night for year, with all OF
the contenders, and yet not take any
chances Of losing his title.
If Jess willard did not prefer the
circus he could hold oil all of the
contenders in nightly ten-round bouts
simply by extending his long left arm
II is in the finish bout. where each man
knows that he must stop his antag-
onist or be stopped, where the popular
boxers are made.
This is no argument for decisions in
New York. Under the existing order
Of things the giving Of decisions here
would rapidly result in the boxing game
coming under the control OF the sure
thing gamblers. But Il takes finish con-
tests. and decisive ones. TO make popu
lar champions. Otherwise. the unpopu
lar ones are eliminated only by age @,
by the infrequent "lucay punch.

"THE GEORGIA VOLUNTEER

! Far up the lonely mountain height
My wandering footsteps led;
TIE grass lay thick beneath my feet,
The pines sighed overhead.
The trace of dismantled fort
Lay in the forest nave;
And in the pathway near my feet,
| saw soldiers grave.
The bramble nestled with the weed
Above the lowly mound;
And there head-board, rudely writ,
Had rotted to the ground.
| raised it with a reverent hand,
From dust its words to clear,
But time had blotted all but these,
"A Georgia Volunteer"
| saw the toad and scaly snake
From tangled covert start,
And hide themselves among the weeds
Above this dead mans heart;
But undisturbed in rest profound,
Unheeding there he lay,
His coffin but the mountain soil,
His shroud, Confederate Gray.
| heard the Shenandoah roll
Far down the vale below:
| saw the Alleghanies rise
Towards the realms of snow.
The valley campaign rose to my mind,
The Leaders name, and then,
| knew the soldier had been one
Of Stonewall Jackson's men.
But whence he came what life shall say,
What tongue shall ever tell,
What desolated hearths and hearts
Have been because he fell.
What sad-eyed maiden braids her hair,
Her hair which he held dear.
One lock, perchance, of which lies with
The Southern Volunteer.
What mother, with fond, weeping eyes,
And white lips cold and dumb,
Waits with appalling patience for
Her darling boy to come,
That boy whose mountain grave swells vi
But one of many a scar,
Cut on the face of our fair land,
By gory-handed war.
What fights he fought, what wounds h
bore
Are all unknown to fame;
Remember, On his simple tomb
There is not even name;
That he fought well, and bravely, too,
And held his country dear,
We know, else he had never been
A Southern Volunteer.
He sleeps, what need to question now,
If he were wrong or right:
He knows ere this whose cause was just
In God, the Fathers sight.
He yields no war-like weapons now,
Returns no foemans thrust:
Who, but coward, would revile
An honest soldiers dust?
Roll Shenandoah, proudly roll,
Adorn the rocky glen;
Above thee lies the grave of one
OF Stonewall Jackson's men;
Beneath the cedar and the pine,
In solitude austere,
Unknown, unnamed, forgotten, lies

SECRETARY OF WAR.
Appointment Announced From White
House After Conference.

Washington, March 6.-Newton D.
Baker, former mayor of Cleveland,
has been selected by President Will
son for secretary Of war. His nomi-
nation will go to the senate tomor-
row, and administration leaders ex-
pect confirmation so the new secre-
tary may take active charge Of the
war departments plans for army in
crease and reorganization.
Mr.. Baker is lawyer, and as "a
leader among Ohio Democrats has
been warm supporter of the Wilson
policies since the pre-convention cam
paign in 1912. He has been close
personal friend of Mr.. Wilson since
the latter was his instructor years
ago at Johns Hopkins University, and
was offered the post of secretary Of
the interior in the original Wilson
cabinet, but declined because he then
was mayor. He is understood to be
in thorough accord with the presi-
dent on the preparedness programme
and foreign questions. c.
An offer of the war secretaryship
was made to Mr.. Baker by telegraph
several days ago after the president
had spent more than three weeks
carefully going over a long list of
those suggested to succeed Secretary
Garrison. Mr.. Baker accepted, and
upon being notified today that he
would be nominated at once, tele-
graphed that he would be in Wash
ington Thursday.
Youngest Man in Cabinet.
Mr.. Baker, who is "A years old,
will be the youngest member of Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet by more than
five years. The next youngest men,
ber is Secretary Houston, who cele-
brated his 5Oth birthday recently.
The president will not select an as
sistant secretary of war to succeed
Henry Breckenridge until he has con-
ferred with Mr.. Baker Thursday.
It was understood tonight, how
ever, that the new assistant secretary
of war will be from either the South
or East. Among the men understood
to be considered were Bibb Graves,
former adjutant general Of Alabama,
and Lawrence Young, adjutant gen.
eral of North Carolina.

LAW ENFORCEMENT SPIRIT.
Sentiment Said to Be Changing in
South Carolina.

Columbia, March 1.-That the SEN
timent Of the people of~the State has
undergone a great change in favor
of the enforcement Of law is clearly
shown by an examination of the re-
ports of the solicitors, as contained
in the report of the attorney general
to the general assembly.
During 1914, 1851 cases were re-
ported. Of this number there was a
total of 1854 convictions, or 63 per
cent. During 1915 total of 3,210
cases were reported, with 2,121 con-
victions, or sc per cent. The in
crease in the number of cases
brought to trial in 1915 over 1914
is GIG or "a per cent. This increase
in the number of cases brought
to trial is accounted for by
reason of the fact that the peace Of
ficers of the State have been en-
couraged in their work for the en-
forcement of law, because of the fact
that they were backed up in their
work by public sentiment, which SEN
timent was expressed in the election
of Gov. Manning, who during his
campaign, expressed the determina-
ton to enforce all laws.
The governor has made it clear to
the officers that he will back them
up in the performance of their duties
in enforcing the laws.
That the governor has made good
in his promise to enforce the law is
clearly shown in the reports from the
solicitors. The increase in the num-
Der of cases brought to trial, and the
convictions had, does not indicate
more violations of law, but rather
that the violators are certain of pun
ishment under the present admins
tration.

Expense to People, Through Inefficiency of Health De- partment More than $1OO,- 900 Says Sophian-No Doubt That Milk Caused Deaths, He Declares.
Padlocks May Be Used To Enforce Quarantines--Ex- pert Adopts "Extraordi- nary Methods" to Prevent Contagion-To Ask Veal thy For City Hospital.

Bridgeport's epidemic of septic sore throat, the fear of which has been overshadowed by the infantile paral- ysis peril, has cost the people, of the city more than $100,000, according to Dr. Abraham Sophian, the expert who is fighting the poliomyelitis plague here.
 At a meeting of the board of health this afternoon in the office of Mayor Wilson. Dr. -SophianN asserted that the cost of the epidemic to the families that were afflicted. and to the tax payers was tremendous.
 'The abstract value on the lives of the patients, that died, the cost incl dental to death, the value to time lost by members of the family, the losses to business through illnesses, and the sudden placing of burden on the city, all enter into the-estimate," said Dr. Sophian.
 Tt may be $100,0O0. It may be many times that amount, but it is tremendous at any rate"
 Dr. Sophian said this expense was created by inefficiency. The work of forcing sanitation hasn't been entrust- Co tO NOIDpCIChI llduQS.
 There is no doubt that the septic sore throat is caused by milk" said Dr. Sophian.
 The cost of treating patients with infantile paralysis is 100 times more now than Bridgeport should pay, ac- cording to the expert. This also,, is due to lack of preparedness.
 What were termed extraordinary measures were adopted today by the board of health because of the sudden increase yesterday in the number of patients ill with poliomyelitis Threats have been made that padlocks will be used, if necessary, to enforce quaran- tines.
 This is the result of the discovery that several cases which have resulted in death are suspected to have orig mated from contact in play with chil- dren ill of the disease. Hill street, Washington avenue and Union lavenue are particularly infected districts, res- idents of which have died of the mal- ady.
 The h9alth department met this af- ternoon flor the purpose of setting a date after which none but pasteurized milk may be sold in Bridgeport May or Wilson halted action, however. when he said that a man calling him. self a representative of the milk deal- CTS called on him and said they are against the pasteurizing idea; since

Washington, Aug. Judge William l.. Chambers, commissioner of the United States Board of Mediation and Cancellation, conferred with Presi- dent Wilson today over the threaten ed strike of 100000 railroad employees. They discussed every phase of the sit- uation, but Judge Chambers told the President he believed there was notn- ing formal that the federal govern ment could do until the railroad managers and the representatives of the employees met next week for count ing of the strike vote.
 Judge Chambers thinks the si.ua- ton is not hopeless and that there is still chance for the employers and employees to reach an agreement. The board of mediation ard conciliatioE expects 70 be called in, should z break appear inevitable.
 The Senate commerce committee .o- day voted to table Senator Newland' S resolution to direct the interstate commerce commission to investigate and report to Congress on wages and hours of service of each class of rail- road employees. because action was deemed inadvisable pending mediation and arbitration O. disputes between the railroads and their employees.
