SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
By LOUIS II. JAFFE

yITARM weather doesn't hold any fear for
w fstic fans in this fair City of Brotherly
Love. Along about June for the last few
reasons boxing in the open air has proved
successful-and brought in many shekels-
for promoters here The first club to sprout
up for the purpose of staging scraps with
the moon sduinting down on the energetic
glove wielders is the Cambria A. c.. Frank
ford avenue and Cambria street. Other
clubs are bound to get into the field, and
West Philly, South Philly and North Penn
each probably will have it's open-air arena
before another fortnight. A clear night will
inaugurate the season tonight, with the
Cambria putting on the initial program.
OF course, it's all up 10 the weather. else
the show will he postponed until tomorrow
night The open.ar season will continue
until the latter part of August Barney
Hahn, who has been casting an emphatic
def at Champ Petey Herman, and Young
McGovern also diCkering for a whack at the
title. are bracketed for the final fracas to-
night. This will not be their first meeting;
they have had several previous engagements
--and they were torrid ones, too. A Euro
pean international conflict will be decided
In the semi, when Bobby Mcleod. wearing
the colors Of Bonnie Scotland. endeavors
to lower the Flying Jack of Eddie Harvey.
Other bouts are Tony Raspo VS., Young
Mike Brennan; Young Tierney VS. Terry

MAKING THE HARVESTS EQUAL
TO THE JOB

The governments crop report o.
yesterday is the first of the year tt

outstanding features are wheat croI
now virtually assured of 67S,OOO,00e
bushels against 640,000,000 last
year; a corn crop which is not as
sured but which promises to be next
to the largest ever gathered; oats
barley and rye among the largest; po-
tatoes 60 per cent over last years
yield.
This is far better than was to have
been expected from the severe winter
and late spring. 1t is better than the
best estimates of a month ago. Elk
cept wheat alone, the figures gener-
ally approximate bumper proportions
But there are great responsibilities
resting upon these crops. The whole
world outside the Teutonic powers
is concerned. The fortunes of the al
lied war are eually concerned. Can
the harvests be made to measure up
to the job?
They will be If their gathering and
distribution are systematically con-
served under national direction-if

export are carefully guarded agains.

All of these things are being done
or will be in the way of being done
whenever Congress RECEIVERS its sens
es on the Food Control bill. The crops
are amply doing their part. 1t only
remains for Congress and the people
to do their part that the job may be
perfected in all that is required OF
it for war emergency.
PREMIER Borden, the fighting
leader of Canada, has won tremen-
dous victory in his fight for conscrip-
ton. The vote in the house of COM
mons though not final, virtually
means compulsory service for Can
ada. The premier was opposed by his
old political foe, Sir Wilfred Laurier
the liberal leader but he succeeded
in bringing about defections in the
liberal lineup in the parliamentary
showdown. The fo-mer premier is a
popular figure in Canada and this fact
only emphasizes the determination OF
the dominionto carry on the wal
to the limit of it's resources.

THE NEWS AWAY FROM HOME

Think of Alaskans, "clad in bear
skin clothes and big fur hoods
"trekking across ice and snow" IN
August! 1t suggests the old saying
that one must get away from home to
learn the news at home. But here is
the story from the New York Evening
Sun of August z:
Over lonely mountain passes and
through great stretches of void, OPP
en- country today, the conscriptible
youths of Alaska, $4,000 Americans,
are trudging to register for the draft.
Among them are several hundred
Eskimo lads, clad in heavy bearskin
clothes and big fur hoods, they are
trekking across the ice and snow to
add their names to Uncle Sans roll
of honor.
Further down toward civilization
American boys from prospector's
gangs are coming in from the noun
tains. Some must travel many miles
to reach the mountain cabin or from
tier settlement where Uncle Sans
agent awaits them, pen in hand.
General headquarters for the Alas
kan draft is the Office of Gov.-Gen J..
F. A. Strong. at Juneau, who is in SUI
preme command of registration work
there.

A meal for an invalid cat.
Three pallid, anaemic asparagus tips,

And a rather petite demi tasse.

who said.
With a scowl on his sinister brow:
That's all you will get for your din

For we serve only war portions

He brought me a check like the sort
that you see
When a spender comes in with a
train
OF highly dressed girls with those
permanent curls
And orders boiled quails and
champagne.
A check that l looked at, and gasp
ed as l looked,
A check that was CHASTITY to see.
But when l said, Hey, this will take
my months pay"
The waiter said roughly to me:
Say, 30, come across, or the hoose-
cow for yours;
You'll lose if you start any row.
That check states the rate for the
stuff that you ate,
For we charge only war prices

THE MAINE.
YER the land a vision rolls.
Wraiths of two hundred
sixty souls"
Drowned or killed in the
holocaust,
Sacrificed when the Maine was
lost
OF warning none was heard or
passed
Till came the deep mouthed thun-
der's blast.
Settling down to the harbor's bed,
Carrying brave uncoffined dead,
The surging waters sad refrain.
Last weird dirge Of the sunken
Maine.
The world was shocked. and all
hearts thrilled
With horror, though each voice
was stilled.
Vengeance il mine" Thus saith
the Lord.
Though Justice comes through fire
and sword.
Our brave men did not die In vain.
Freedom sprang forth as sank the
Maine.
Oppressions clanking chains gave
way,
And Cuba stands redeemed today.
Letters cut deep in lasting stone
When years to centuries have
grown
Will tell to unborn millions, then,
What followed death Of martyred
men.
Twas ever thus, twill ever be-
Sacrifice cradles Liberty.

The article says that, conveyed or
not, merchantmen in the restricted re-
gion will be exposed to all the possi-

not attack neutral war vessels acting
as conveys, but that such vessels would

has been Issued:
"On Tuesday, the 18th inst, the
Danish, Norwegian and Swedish
governments handed to the German
ministers in their respective capitals
notes Identical In tenor protesting
against the barring Of certain sea
zones, announced by Germany and
Austria. The note begins by recalling
the fact that during the war the gov
ernments have several times found
themselves obliged to present formal
protests against serious infringements
Of the rights Of neutrals involved by
measures of various belligerent pow
ers.
ut then emphasizes the fact that
the three governments whose actions
on these various occasions were as al
ways inspired by the spirit of the most
perfectly loyal impartiality, confined
themselves to defending the impre-
scribable rights Of neutrals.
"After pointing out that the gov
ernments have on previous occasions
protested against measures of belliger-
ents tending to restrict the free use
Of the seas by neutrals, the note pro-
ceeds to emphasize that the govern
nents on this occasion are all the
more bound to maintain, in taking the
same point of view, that the obstacles
placed in the way Of neutral naviga'
ton are now more considerable, In
both extent and gravity.
'sThe note draws attention to the
fact that the only rules Of information
al law which might be invoked In sup
port of measures having as their OBJ
ject the, prevention of all commerce
and all navigation with the enemy are
those relating to naval blockade"

US. SENDS Warning
WHEN REVOLUTION BECOMES Sc

If Uprising Is Successful, lanslng's
Note Says-ReheIlion in Cuba Has
Assumed Greater Proportions Than

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Z
ashington-Reports telling of the
spread of the Liberal revolt in Cuba
aroused such apprehension that Sec
retary Lansing cabled second warn
ing to the people of the republic that
the United States would not regard
as legal any government set up by vio-
lence. The message was sent to Min
lister Gonzales, at Havana, and to every
American consul, to be circulated all
over the island
Mr.. Lansing pointed out the respon'
sibility of the United States in con-
nection with Cuba, and intimated very
clearly that revolution was not to be
tolerated. Minister Gonzales reports
of the growth of the revolt were sub
mitted by the State Department to the
Secretaries of War and Navy as
promptly as they were received.
In neither of the military depart
warlike move was being prepared in
connection with the situation but be-
cause of the experience gained in two
previous interventions military opera
tions could be inaugurated in brief
time without much renewed study OF
plans. Secretary Baker announced
that with the approval of the Presi
dent, deal had been closed for the
sale of 10000 army rifles and 2,COO,-
100000 rounds of ammunition to the
Cuban government Negotiations for
the purchase had been in progress for
several months.
The President is authorized by stat
ute to approve the sale of arms and
ammunition to Cuba, whose soldiers
are the only ones in the world other
than American who carry the United
States army rifle. Shipment of the
guns and ammunition will be fastened,
as they will be needed by President
Menocal to arm his volunteers.
