AMERICAN TROOPS,
NOT GOOD DICCERS
Must Learn to Keep Under Cover
And Follow The Safety
First Rules

American Training Camp, In
France. Aug. 24.-One of the great
est problems American officers have
before them is impressing upon their
men the absolute importance of
learning the best ways of keeping
under cover. The American soldier
is not a natural "digger-in." He is
much like his Canadian brother in
arms in that respect, for it is an old
saying on the British front that Can
adams will die in the last ditch but
never dig it. The German belief
that they can dig faster than a mod
ern army can advance is one of the
principles of their defensive tactics.
Notwithstanding all that has been
told along this line, Notwithstanding
the heroic efforts to rouse his en-
thusiasm over the pick and shovel,
the American soldier has remained
decidedly lukewarm.
The American fighting man just
now is being put through a pretty
stiff course of digging. This does
not apply to digging trenches alone.
He is being taught how to dig him
self in individually, while lying flat
on the ground in face of enemy
fire, thus getting temporary shelter
and the protection of a sort of grave
! like excavation. 1t is not so often
nowadays, however, that man has
actually to dig himself in on solid
ground for there is seldom an infan-
try advance made over anything but
ground all pitted and torn with shell
craters.
Fighting from shell holes is an
act in itself and one that Americans
must learn before taking their places
in the allied line. German prisoners
declare they would rather fight
from shell holes on an active part
of the front than from a regularly
| organized trench system. The latter
affords,the artillery too good a tar
get while isolated shell holes are diff
ficult to deal with. The Germans
even conceal some of their shell
holes by putting brown water proof
sheets over them whenever an al
lied airplane is seen approaching
The passion for digging in is so
strong with the Germans that they
have been desperately known to claw
holes in the ground with their hands
till the ends of their fingers were
practically worn off. Thus some
were found dead. Others, taken
prisoners had to be sent to the hos
pital with all their finger nails gone.

can receive instruction in all the sub
jects that will be offered here.
Students that have in the past
dropped out of high school will do
well if they complete that work and
plan to enter college. At no time
in the history of this or any other
country has there been such a de-
mand for trained men and women.
The demand will continue until and
after the close of the war.

SCHOOL NOTICE

You have already been informed
that school opens Monday Septem-
Der Bird. 1t is important if you wish
to do good work during the year that
you get started right. Therefore
you should plan to enter school on
the very first day. If possible you
should map out your course of study
before the opening of school.
Graduates from the rural schools
plan to enter high school somewhere
at once. No high school in this part
of the state offers you better facili-
ties for high school training. In
fact it offers you a line of training
that your fathers and mothers could
not have had at any price. Even
now there are few schools where you

SUSTAINS A BROKEN ARM

Alvin Hart, the youngest son of
Dave Hart had his right arm broken
while doing some work last Saturday.
He drove a team and dray TO the
home of Chas. Wolf, where delivered
sore goods for S. Roberts & Son.
On his way home, in turning around
in the road, the seat tipped forward

turing it. He was taken to a ply
stefan who reduced the fracture and
Alvin is resting as comfortable as
possible. He will have to carry his
arm in a cast for six weeks at least,
and it will be long time after be-
fore he will have the use of the arm.

BENNY LEONARD WINS
LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP;
KNOCKS OUT ENGLISHMAN

Leonard away. carried the defeated
champion to his corner. A score of
men occupying ringside seats jumped
into the ring and. lifting the new
champion to their shoulders, carried
him in triumphal procession around
the hall.
While the crowd was cheering itself
hoarse, Welsh sat in daze in his
corner. When he had recovered some
what and was told by his handlers
of his defeat he refused to believe
them and fought fiercely to return to
the center of the ring.
Leonard's Fight
1t was Leonard's night throughout.
He took the offensive in the first
round and held it until the end. There
was never a moment when he was in
danger and although the champion
fought valiantly and succeeded IN
lahding many blows, they appeared to
have little effect Welsh seemed to
have lost his judgment of distance,
for he missed repeatedly.
From the first gong Leonard tore
into the champion with ruthless per-
sistency. He rained lefts and rights
to the face and head at will. Welsh,
disconnected by his opponents tactics.
seemed worried when the round
ended.
Leonard, the new worlds champion
lightweight, will not wait for con-
scription." but will enlist in the Unit
ed States army after a siX-round bout
in Philadelphia next Monday night.
his manager, Billy Gibson, announced
after the fight.
AS soon as Leonard was able to get
an opportunity to speak. he said:
81 am very glad that at last l have
won the championship. l felt conIl-
dent that l was Welsh's master and
now that I've proved it am going to
enlist. I am not going to wait for
conscription for as soon as l get
through with my engagement to box
Joe Welsh at Philadelphia next Mon
day night / will voluntarily enlist in

Just at this time it is doubly gratify-

championship back to the United
States and if am spared hope to be
ready to defend it against all comers
for fairly long period"

New York, May 29.-Benny Leonard
won the worlds lightweight cham
pionship by knocking out Freddie
Welsh in the ninth round of a ten
round match here last night. Welsh's
downfall came at the end of a series
of rushes by Leonard that drove him
from corner to corner. The champion
had taken a severe beating during the
early rounds and the punishment had
begun to tell when the gong for the
ninth round sounded.
Leonard scored his fifth consecutive
Knockout in as many weeks, Referee
Mcfarland stopping the bout when
Welsh was hanging helplessly on the
ropes in Leonard's corner. 1t was a
technical knockout and will be cred
tied as such.
First to Win Title
The new worlds champion is the
first New Yorker to win this title, as
Leonard was born in this city on
April Z, 1896. Jack McAuliffe, who
was champion in the early nineties,
was born in Brooklyn and it was not
for many years afterward that the
consolidation of adjoining boroughs
included Brooklyn in Greater New
York. Welsh won the title from Willie
Ritchie of California on a referees
decision at London, England, in July,
1914, so that the deposed champion
has held the title almost three years.
Last night Leonard, who scaled the
lightweight limit of 1913 pounds, was
in physical condition when he entered
the ring. Welsh also was in fine
shape and weighed 3% pounds more
than his opponent. From the first
tap of the gong Leonard was the ag
gressor and, whole Welsh cleverly
blocked many of Leonard's punches,
the younger man scored heavily with
swinging lefts and hard righthand
smashes to the stomach and ribs.
Leonard, fresh as the moment he
had entered the ring, jumped for
ward and met the champion as he
was leaving his corner and delivered
shower of lefts and rights to the
face and head. Welsh, vainly trying
to ward off the blows, worked his way
into Leonard's corner, where Leonard
succeeded in reaching him with a
smashing right on the jaw. Welsh
fell on one knee and hugged the
ropes. His strength gone, he strove
weakly to strike a lighting pose. AS
he left the ropes Leonard landed and
Welsh hit the floor. He struggled
he was met by Leonard's right to the
face and head and again he fell to
the floor.
Champion Takes Count
The champion took the count of
nine before he arose from the last
knockdown. He tried to stand, but
fell across the ropes. 1t was only
question of moments when he would
have fallen and been counted out. At
this point Referee Mcfarland leaped
between the two men, and, pushing

Johnson is the human information
bureau. He not only announces the
name of every player as he comes to
to bat during the game, but he also
gives all other kinds of information,
such as the number of balls and
strikes and the number of outs in
voice loud enough to be heard in all
parts of the grounds. Johnson also
has proved to be something besides
nouncer, for his work has given
complete satisfaction and it is likely
that he will be the first of the minor
league umpires to rise into the major
leagues at the close of this season."
