SIX MILES ON THE ROAD

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug.
,22.-Keenly realizing that his title
OF lightweight champion will be in
danger, Freddie Welsh is putting in
some great Icks at training in prep
aration for his twenty round Labor
day battle with Charley White.
Welsh Is on the road every morn
ing at O'Clock with his trainer and
makes between six and eight miles.
This is followed by an hours work In
his training quarters and eight
rounds of boxing with his sparing
partners. Welsh boxed two rounds
today with Benny Chavez and three
rounds each with Jack Bradon and
Battling Reddy, displaying all his
cleverness before a crowd of 900 en-
thusiastic fight fans.
White will not start his boxing
until Wednesday, az he does not be-
lieve more than ten days hard train
ing will be necessary to put him in
tip-top shape. Thus far he has con-
fined his training mostly to road work
to develop his wind. Charley claims
to be in fine condition now.
Welsh and White met again last
night at the Hayes-Jackson bout at
Ramona The men were introduced
to the crowd and received q great
hand.
Welsh continues a slight favorite
in the local betting. But the wager
that attracts most attention is the
to shot that White won't score a
knockout. There seems to be plenty
of money on both sides OF this prop
osition.
The sale OF seats still continues at
a great rate and club officials an
ticipate a packed house for the bout.

AT THE AUDITORIUM
Bob Ott Presents The Commodore,
 Another New Bill Today.

The Commodore is correctly adver- tised as a musical absurdity. This comedy opens the sluices of ones gig glery and draws forth laughter in cat. aracts. The story of the play is as follows: Commodore Bowling of the Marine Club is about to be married. The night previous to his marriage, the boys of the club decide to give him bachelor supper. They invite Molly Thayer and several of the cho- rus girls of the Little Playhouse to en- certain the guests. The great event is supposed to be a great surprise Molly arrives upon the scene. She is an old sweetheart of the commodore's They meet face to face. Molly tells him she merely called to denounce him, etc, etc. At the same time liar ry Merritt, Dowling's future father-in- law, calls at the club. He has followed Molly. When she learns of his com- Ing marriage and of Merritt's appear ance at the club, she phones Mrs. Merritt and the daughter, Melda- and invites them to attend the bachelor supper. Later they drop in. Situa- tions follow. Molly tells Harvey about the commodore's past, etc, etc. Har- vey confesses to the commodore that he has lost his fortune. At the last moment the commodore cancels his marriage to Melda. About this time Harvey explains to the company that he has told a lie-that he didn't lose his fortune-that he only concocted the story to try Bowling. Excruciat- ingly funny situations follow. The piece is replete with up-to -the-s second musical numbers, elaborate costumes beautiful girls, picturesque scenery, and electrical effects. Don't fail to see the Joyful Bob Ott and the large beautiful chorus in The Commodore at the Auditorium today.
 Besides the Bob Ott show there will be shown today and tomorrow a five part Pathe feature entitled The Kings Game, and featuring Pearl White George Probert and Sheldon Lewis The picture was produced by Arnold Daly.

Another good act is Hartz & Evans, a clever team of re- fined entertainers, who sing well, dance well, and altogether put over neat vaudeville speciality. The third act is Tom Kuma, a Japanese artist, who does a novelty act different from the usual run of Jap acts. In the pho- toplays the show this half cannot be equalled anywhere. There is a big l five-part Triangle feature called Bull Thee production. with the popular star, Bessie Barriscale, in the leading role. If you enjoy the best in motoion pie | lures don't fail to see this one.

 dftion to the Triangle pictures and Keystone comedies

 Dealing finally with the organiza- tion of Dutch India's means of de- lending itself as being the most ur- gent of all Colonial questions, the Courant proceeds: '"The Sunda Strait, the entrance to the Indian seas, as it is termed by Japanese writers, lies there, in this time of violation of international law, at the mercy of the might consider it in it's interest to seize this so highly important passage. The importance to prevent this must, indeed, be regarded in Japan as con- tinuous threat, and the possibility ought to be reckoned with that, in itself venture on this decisive step and establish naval base there as Yusaburo Takekoshi proposes.
 'Tt Is true that. so long as the war lasts, Its special relationship to the allies will presumably keep it from taking this step. But at the time of the great alterations that will be brought in the territorial distribution of the globe at the conclusion of peace to assure to the world new and last ing equipoise, the Sunda Strait might very well, if found to be in an inds- fensible state and in weak hands, be apportioned to a stronger keeper. It is therefore of the most urgent impor- tance that, when peace is concluded. the Netherlands East Indies should be able to declare that it is in a posi- ton to defend itself and the Sunda Strait. If Japan sees that its inter ests are no longer threatened by our weakness, if it realizes the stuff its neighbor is made of, then-despite the disappointment in the circles of South Sea Xpansionists-the relationship between the two lands will be estab- lished on a firm and excellent footing. There is a closing indirect reference to America. Tt might, perhaps, be we'll" says the Dutch paper, ito seek some support with another power that has similar interests in regard to Jaran in the Far East, but if this were to be put forward as an excuse for not straining our own power to the utmost it would be harmful.

IMPORTANCE TO JAPAN
 OF SUNDA STRAIT.
Which Separates Dutch East Indies
 Islands of Java and Sumatra.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, April 25.- The Nieuwe Rotterdam Courant pub fishes two striking articles dealing with recent Japanese utterances con- corning the impirtance to Japan o1 Sunda Strait which separates the Dutch East Indian Islands of Java and Sumatra. The strait is regarded by kel1oshi, as key to the defense of the Far East, and his comment on the i'm portance of this position has been the cause of some anxiety in the Meth erlands.
 The Courant urges the Dutch colo. nial authorities at once to fortify the Sunda Strait, and "do away with the ing at the mercy of a strong power must inspire in Japan"
 The paper continues: Far from adopting an attitude of anxious and tinid standoffishness in regard to Japan, let us do our best to improve and extend our relations with that country.
 The Netherlands must seek 5apan's friendship for it's pupil, Dutch East all endeavors toward approachment on the part of Japan. In the Jap anese she sees great nation, with immeasurabIe possibilities for good It is no use to look upon every Japan csc who comes to Java as spy"

Suffrage Debate at Slater Hall.

From time to time, many who have given Woman Suffrage some thought but have as yet formed no definite opinion upon the subject have ex- pressed a desire to hear the question fully discussed by able opponents of each side of the question. An oppor- tunity to do so is now offered to the men and women of Norwich. They are cordially invited by the local sui frage and anti-suffrag leagues to at tend the debate to be held in Slater Hall on the evening of Friday, April 2S. The affirmative side will be taken by Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, president of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association and a speaker of more than local renown. The negative will be supported by MT. Charles L. Un- derhill of Massachusetts, man of wide political experience. The even- ing promises to be one of unusual in terest and should draw a large audi ence. !. It is strongly urged that all feel free to submit questions to the speakers at the close of the debate.

George ArIiss in Paganini Coming tt
 the Davis.

George Arliss comes to the Davis theatre May ,, direct from remark able record breaking engagement at the Hollis Street and Colonial thea tres, Boston, which was interrupted only by inability to find further time for MT. Arliss in that city, owing to the sudden closing of the Fremont theatre there, in a new comedy from the pen of Edward Knoblauch, author of Milestones, Kismet, The Faun, etc. MT. knoblauch has wrought his latest work around the English period of the life of Paganini, the great Italian vio- 1inist and weirdly eccentric figure and personality of Europe in 1880. Pa ganini is said to provide for MT Ar liss part which calls for the exercise of his full artistry, giving the star opportunities comparing with those he found in Disraeli His work in that role is still fresh in the public mind and his coming in a new part will eX- cite curiosity to see what further arts MT. Arliss can add to his deIineations of character. The theme of the play is the love for Paganini of an in genuous young English girl, who at first falling under the spell. of the music of the viOlinist, finally loves the man himself. Paganini, being a man much older than she is, and with other endorsements, saw that her affec- tion could only lead to unhappiness. How he dealt with the situation and finally secures for Charlotte an en- during peace of mind, forms the cli- max of the story.
 Messrs. Klaw 6 Frlanger and George C. Tyler have surrounded MT, lArliss with a notable cast. Five of the present cast were in MT Arliss' Disraei company. His leading wom- an this season is Margery Maude, the beautiful and talented daughter of Cy- Til Maude, of Grumpy fame Other players in the company include Mrs. Arliss, Florence Auer, Leila Repton, Rosina Henley, Charles Harbury, Dud- ley Digges, Dion Titheradge, Edgar Kent Noel Tearle and Fred Nichols.
