Australia Adopts Ten-Round
System for Boxing Matches

One more twenty-rOund strong
hold has adopted the ten-round
system of boxing bouts. Owing
to the smaller attendance ut the
bouts, due to the war, and the
consequent smaller purses, the
Australian promoters have cut
down the bouts from twenty to
ten rounds. According to Pro-
moter snowy Baker, the innOva-
ton has proved to be success
and will be continued even after
the war. Baker says the spec
tators are much better pleased
with the shorter bouts, as they
make for more action and less
stalIing.

~,

Rev. L. r. Call of the First Baptist
church in his sermon Sunday morning
on "Fhanksgiving in War Time
''The war is making us ponder the
thought of God, and when we ponder
Him, His goodness shines out in vast
significance. The discovery of this
goodness is the one great discovery Of
the human heart. To feel that God
is overruling the evil of war with the
good that will come when victory is
ours, is to be filled with the true spirit
of the Thanksgiving season. And this
sort of feeling is making rapid strides
forward today. The soul OF mankind
is fighting victorious fight amid the
mob of tyrannous impulses that tug
and strain to beat it down. Through
all of the sufferings that come on the
battlefield, and through all the sacri-
fees that are felt at home, mankind is
singing a solemn Thanksgiving that
God is on our side; that He is inter
ested in the principles for which we
fight: that lie will see it through.
Nothing can occur to overthrow the
supremacy of God on His throne, or
the moral significance of all that He
permits in this world, however af-
fiicted it is to us. Just as thousands
of soldiers find that the battlefield is
the outer court Of heaven may we at
home find that our losses have been
restored a thousand fold through the
spiritual blessings that come to us.

Work Of AirpIanes. .s.
The work Of British airplanes dur

graphic chapter itself. Despite the
vile weather which compelled them to
operate within few feet of the
ground, they kept steadily at their
task and rendered invaluable assist
ance both in reconnaissance and Of
fensive operations. .,, .-,
There have been almost continued
battle between German infantry and
British airmen flying as low as 80
feet above the ground; Never before
has this kind of warfare been car
ried out on such large scale.
Pilots have attacked infantry and
gun crews indiscriminately wherever
they encountered them and have in

ed down behind his own lines with
ten bullet holes through his clothing,
although he, himself, was unhurt. An
other young airman, yesterday, pre-
scented himself at headquarters after
having been shot down for the third
time within two days. He was de.

One aviator attacked a column of
German infantry marching in close
formation and hurled two high power
bombs directly among them. The
troops scattered and as the airman
whirled away, he saw two heaps Of
dead about huge craters which the
bombs had torn in the road. There
were innumerable cases of airmen
successfully bombing airdromes, troop
transports and gun crews. A large
number of artillery crews have been
wiped out either by machine gunfire
at close range OF by bombs. Natural

caught in the fire and the wings Of
his machine was shot away. For

feet from the ground. He crashed to
earth unhurt, and he Immediately
came under rifle and machine gun
fire, but he found German rifle with
some ammunition and engaged the
enemy single handed. AS he fired he
worked his way back until he reached

There is not much humor in fighting
of this nature, but one incident occur

air service laugh today. One of the
youngest British airmen was flying at
a low altitude when four enemy ma
chine guns opened on him. He
swooped down and shot 3 OF his op'

machine gun kept firing, and the ayi.

himself at the dressing station, and
when querried admitted the truth. His
consolation from his wound was a roar
Of laughter, and to be more polite in
the future. ,,1.
