Gibbons, of st. Paul, had little trou-
BILE outpointing George Chip, the
New Castle miner, here yesterday be-
fore a big Fourth of July crowd,
Mike winning most of the way in
the twelve-round go.
1t was a case of a good boxer
against a husky slugger, and science
won over the wallop. The early parts
of the fracas were slow with not
much to stir the blood of the specta-
tors, but by the time the ninth round
arrived both boxers had warmed to
their work and the last tn. chap
ters were the best of the f hit.
Chip tried to force the fighting
in the early rounds but Gibbons was
wary of his rushes and backed away,
popping in lefts, and rights as he
stepped back.

PUSH NEW BRIDGE CAMPAIGN.
Randle Highlands Citizens Want
Another Structure.

A special committee of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association, with
Robert F. Bradbury as chairman, last
night began its campaign of securing
data and otherwise pushing its fight
to secure new bridge across the Ana
costa river to replace the present
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge. Begin
ming at S:15 o'clock last evening, and
continuing for an hour and a half this
committee counted the number Of au-
tomobiles and vehicles passing over
this bridge, and the total at the end of
this time amounted to more than 300.
Because of the narrowness Of the bridge
and its poor condition. many accidents
have occurred during the past two
years, and list of these has also been
compiled and Will be used as an argu-
ment for a new bridge.
The committee further proposes to
have printed a number of posters bear
ing an inscription asking the author
tiles to do something at once to i'm
prove this condition, and owners of au-
tomobiles will be asked to place these
on the windshields of their machines
Two large banners will also be placed
at either end of the bridge, asking per-
sons riding over this bridge to write
the authorities urging a new bridge.
The committee believes that every one
riding across the structure and experi-
encing the discomforts will be glad to
| comply.

ASK CONGRESS TO STATE
BASIS OF PEACE TERMS
Union Against Militarism Officers
Would Recognize Russian and
Reichstag Resolutions.

In letter to Senator Stone, chairman
of the foreign relations committee,
representatives of the American Union
Against Militarism, have asked the
senator to introduce concurrent reso-
luton reciting what would be. in the
Judgment of the American Congress. a
proper basis for the discussion Of
peace.
Such a concurrent resolution. it was
suggested, would be tantamount to
American recognition of the Russian
terms of peace, and. 30 far as they
went. of the reichstag peace resolu-
tions.
In their letter to Senator Stone the
officers of the American Union Against
Militarism suggest that American pub
lie opinion ought to pay less attention
to the utterances of Michaelas and
more attention to the efforts of the
reichstag to hold out for a non-ag-
gressive peace. Their letter to Chair
man Stone says. in part:
Even after making all allowances
for imperial influences, the fact re-
mains that the German peace resolu-
ton. carried in the reichstag July 10
by vote of PA to 116, represents an
attempt on the part of the German
people to express their willingness to
enter into peace negotiations on the
mites The express language of the
resolution leaves no room for doubt
g The reichstag labors for peace and
mutual understanding and lasting
reconciliation among the nations
Forced acquisitions of territory and
political. economic and financial viola
lions are Incompatible with such a
peace
IF we genuinely desire to strengthen
the hand of the German people against
autocracy. this is. we submit. our op-
portunity. We must receive the reichs-
tag resolution with official respect and
ignore the speech Of the chancellor,
who is responsible only to the kaiser"

Hunger and Glory

Little Gretchen is complaining
in her humble German home she
has searched the house for vic
tuals, with her mothers fine-tooth'
comb; she has seven little sisters,
counting all, from last to first. and
they all are wailing loudly for a
chunk of wienerwurst. Hush
YOUR racket says their grandsire,
facing them with browning brow;
what if Hindenburg should hear
YOU while you kick up such a
row? Donnerwetter! What is
hunger. when our kaiser takes the
field. with the double-headed eagle
newly craven on his shield? Who
shall speak of childrens tummies
when the kron prinz leads his
hosts? When he has gewhipped
the British we shall have our
stews and roasts; when we see the
prinz returning, with his captives
at the rear, we shall have our
kraut and pretzels and our stems
OF foaming beer. Look ahead. ye
hollow children, wait, l bid We,
for the day when the kaiser and
the kron prinz bring their cap
tivcs from the Fray But the
maudlin little maidens into tears
absurdlv burst: children never
care for language when they
vearn for liverwurst. Little
Gretchen and her sisters weary of
the glory spiel: they would
gladly swap some glory for a sat
isfying meal.
