Censorship Hides His
Whereabouts.

Georges Carpenter, the most pop
ular ring artist of today. Is Some
where in America" The District War
Service Commission which is planning
TO bring this French war hero to the
Capital for an exhibition boxing bout
By special request of The Washington
Herald last night, were not able to
state the exact location of the aviator
pugilist.
Carpenter is known TO be on the
soil Of this side of the big pond. The
War Department Service Commission
l. using every effort to locate the
French heru. The Washington Herald
expects to receive word today from
the Navy Department telling of his
location and of the services that he
ing OF Carpenter in an American
boys in the khaki and navy blue.
Because Of the censorship, the land
ing OF Carpenters in an American
port was closely guarded, as the idol
of the big War has come to America
to give TO our aviators and trench
fighters all that he has learned by
experience in the big fireworks over
there.
This light heavyweight champion
Of Europe is the real pugilistic hero
of the world war. Carpenter stepped
out of a career in the TOped arena
with the courage and nerve that
made him the greatest of his class
in Europe and has demonstrated that
he could not only fight inside of the
90-foot rope but that he knew how
TO handle himself both in the air and
pugiliSm knows today.
The French people today idealize
Carpenter more than any other ath-
lete that has answered the call to the
French colors. He went into his bat
ties with the vim and dash that has
made him rank as the greatest bat
Ting machine that the heavy class Of
pugiEsm knowns today.
The effort that The Washington Her
aid is making to bring Carpenter to
this city is ranked among the most
popular moves with the soldiers and
sailors that has been proposed since
Uncle sam entered this great war on
April 6.
Carpenter is not only a pusilistic
hero but he hes also shown that his
knowledge gained in the roped arena
came 10 his assistance in his hand-tO-
hand battles in the hr~t-line trenches.
His fame for aviation with courage
and nerve when floating miles above
the German lines is known to all real
Americans who are interested in the
big game.

BY going forth into battle is an eN-
ample that Americans can truly ap-
