The vigorous buying extended to cop

tually all the developments Of the day
were of constructive character.
Backwardness OF rails served to re-
strain bullish enthusiasm.
Coppers were assisted by news that
producers had again advanced quo
tations for the refined metal on orders

Old-Time Lightweights
Missing.

Speaking of the lightweight division.
what has become of the oldfashioned
American lightweight, who used to
make 1873 pounds ringside?
Cans, Wolgast, Nelson and Young
Corbett used to do 1t, and they did
more fighting in one round than the
resent lightweight champion has done
in his entire career. The matter of
poundage seems to be nothing among
lightweights these days. Night after
night, one hears the announcer de-
clare: This Is for the lightweight
championship, Young Hoosis weighing
1879 pounds and Battling McBluff 142
pounds"
1t is a sorrowful commentary on the
class that once had all of the real
fighters when it Is recalled that
Freddie Welsh, the lightweight cham
ion, did not win the title at the real
American weight. AS a matter of fact.
the lightweight champion. the man
who wears the mantle of McGovern,
Cans, Nelson and Wolgast, has been
welterweight all along and a rather
indifferent welterweight at that.
Some one who claims to know gives
us the following statistics on the con-
tributions of the various sports to the
army and navy:
Football players, 21.142.
Baseball players, 10,145.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Premfer Lloyd
George faced the critical moment or
his career today unperturbed and In
his best fighting form. His support
ers were completely confident he
would demolish opposition IN the
house of commons to the plan for
supreme inter-aEied war council
and Justify lack of camoufiage in his
recent Paris speech.
President Wilson's plea for unity,
as sent to Colonel House, was gener-
aIly regarded as clinching Lloyd
Georges certainty Of victory over all
his opponents.
A revision of the British cabinet
was expected to result from today's
debate in commons. Lloyd-George
expects a strengthening OF his posi-
tion-a sufficient strengthening to
permit him to get rid OF some OF
the dead wood Id the ministries. 1t
was this sort Of q wedding out pro:
cess that Lord Norfhc1iffe so pung-
entIy demanded in his recent bomb
shell letter. It developed today that
this letter which was intended to
helm rather than hinder Lloyd-George,
was published with the premier's ap-
proval.
Unprecedented demand for seats in
the galleries attested to the public's
interest in the commons procedure.
The fact was plain, however. that the
general public seemed to regard the
situation more because OF it's interest
as a brilliant forensic display than
because of its political. possibilities
The politicians were more wrought
up over the situation than the plain
citizens. Premier Asquith presumably
will open the debate. There was
much guessing as to the scope of his
remarks. The elements opposing
Lloyd-George looked to, him for a
critical analysis of the premier's
Paris expressions.
fAsquith is the "big gun" Of the
opposition fire. The smaller guns on
his side were also reported to be
plentifully supplied with ammunition
manufactured out of numerous petty
iealousies and enmities incurred by
Lloyd-George's often ruthless proce-
dure. Curiously enough the hostile
ranks were recruited from antago-
nistic parties-the conservatives, lib
erals, radicals, pacifists and militar-
lists all being represented.

-Russia's army at the front will soon

voiced by delegates Of the soldiers
committee today.
Prolongation of the war under Pres

was asserted.
This grave warning and belief that
starvation among the soldiery would
result In terrors worse even than those
of the OWL war now raging. caused
the gravest apprehension here today
The Bolsheviki government has been
unable to agree as vet upon the form
OF compromise looking to restoration
of administrative functions. A com
mittee consisting Of Bolshevfki repre-
sentatives and members OF the Lieb
ken left wing OF social revolutions
aries, sought on Saturday to arrange
a government responsible to $50 mem
bers of the general workmen's and
soldiers council This $50, however,
was to be so divided that the local
soviet or Bolsheviki forces would be
represented with $50 members, the
peasant parties, the army navy, trades
unions and socialists being granted
small representation.
These latter element are insisting
on smaller soviet representation and
the situation is still deadlocked.
It was this situation that led to a
split in the Bolshevih ranks.
Five I,entne supporters resigned
from the cabinet, insisting that an all
socialist compromise government was
necessary and being opposed to the
overwhelming Bolsheviki control de-
manded by Trotsky and Lenine. These
two latter, however, are still firmly IN
power in the councils OF the new re-
gime here.
Large unknown forces OF troops
were reported approaching Petrogrnd
today.
Dispatches from Moscow received
here assert the city is in the hands
Of Bolsheviki, but General Kaledin Of
the cossacks was said to be advanc
ing north Of the Donetz basin. The
casualties in the Moscow fighting
were estimated at from 1000 to 5000.
Fighting around the Kremltn was bit
ter and long drawn out.
The scheduled general railway
strike had not been called today.
Workmen arranged conference with
the city council but the latter body re-
fused to meet them.
