San Francisco, Jan. 22-Les Darcy
of Sydney, Australia, generally recog-
nized as the middleweight champion of
the world, may not visit the United
States for many months. If he is SO
fortunate as to reach these shores
shortly for the purpose of engaging
in theatrical tour and later taking on
some fights, he will have to take his
departure from the antipodes by
stealth.
The passing of a military law by
the Australian parliament that prohib-
it's the departure from that country
of all men between the ages of IS
and As conspired to stop Les when he
desired to set sail on the Sonoma for
America. Jack kearns, who had sign
ed to manage Darcy for three years
and expected to make small fortune,
is in San Francisco with the explana-
ton of the causes that combined to
keep Darcy at home.
IF the Australian government can
bring it about" declared Kearns in
detailing his misfortunes, Darcy will
be in khaki uniform very shortly.
But he doesn't want to go to war, and,
on the contrary, is anxious to join me
here. We had everything arranged for
the trip to America.
Our tickets had been secured and
it was announced that Darcy would
show on the stage and fight in the
United States. That started Juror
about the Australians who were leav-
ing home and not going to the war. The
papers took the matter up and the mil
itary law was invoked to keep Darcy
as well as others at home. 1t was
pointed out that for chap with so big
a reputation as Darcy to leave would
induce others to quit, and that if Darcy
could be persuaded to join the army he
would influence others the same way.
Il offered to put up cash band or
$4,000 or any other amount that
Darcy would return within a year. but
the officials would not listen to me.
One of the secretaries told me conf
dentially that Darcy would be in the
army within three months, whether he
liked it or not .........
That statement l doubt very much.
Darcy simply doesn't want to enlist,
and he will take the first opportunity
to leave Australia without any an
nouncement to that effect. The only
thing | can do is to wait for him. as
! am confident he will put in an ap-
pearance

Gibbons, who knocked out Young
Ahearn in 81 seconds here this week,
will recede from the boxing limelight,
and he will push his younger broth

steps back, according to Mike.
Mikes only ambitions. he said, are
to push Lester Darcy, the Australian
middleweight, around the ring enough
to get a decision over him, and thus
cinch the international situation and
to wipe out his deficiency in his fight
with Packey Mcfarland. That, he
says, will give him the worlds title

In the case of the girl it is differ

that only about eight or nine of them

ssThe girl admits only what she

which she has reason to believe you
are ignorant about. The boy, on the
other hand, when he gets into court,
seldom desires to keep anything back.

deputation of the Temperance Coun-

Lloyd-George, Minister of Munitions,

However successful in war the
country might be, he added, he was
convinced that victory in this matter
would be the greatest triumph of all.

Ever since that night at the Treherns
Peggys face had haunted him continually.
Often he reproached himself for having spoken
to her with such brutal candour: he remem-
bered so distinctly the hurt, troubled look that
had replaced the laughter in her eyes. Also
he remembered that sudden mad longing to
take her IN his arms, revealing to him that
which he had tried to hide from himself during
those three brief days-the knowledge that he
loved her.
Jim Shelton had always considered himself
strong man, but the desire to see that dream
face just once more before he left England
proved stronger than all his resolutions. And
So when his six days final leave came along,
Jim found himself walking once more up the
quiet country road that led from Hardwood
Station to the old gray house that had been the
home of the Treherns for the past few centuries.
On the right of the road struggled the few
village shops to the left lay the many acres OF
