CADDOCK TO DEFEND
HIS TITLE FRIDAY

Earl Caddock of Anita, champion
heavyweight wrestler of the world,
will defend his newly acquired title
for the first time Friday night when
he meets Renaldo Gardini, billed as
the champion of Italy, before an ath-
letic club at Louisville, Ky.
While Caddock was preparing to
leave for the match Tuesday, resi-
dents of Anita were congratulating
themselves on the success of their
celebration in his honor Tuesday
night and We're wondering what
they would have done with the
crowd had the roads been passable
for automobiles.
Everything Was Free
the celebration consisted of free
movies, free dancing. free band con-
cert, free banquet and short pro-
gram in the theatre.

AMERICAN NAVAL
LOSSES REFUTED
Secretary Daniels Brands I'm
true "Vicious Rumors" Cir
culated by Unknowns.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-A cate
gorical denial that any American naval
vessels have ben sunk in the war was
issued tonight by Secretary Denies 10
counteract campaign of vicious
rumors that is being carried on so in
dustriouSly by persons unknown" IL
was the first official notice to be
taken OF q flood of reports of naval
disasters that started almost as soon
as it was known that American de-
stroyers were in the war zone.
Biamcs Broker Wires.
"It is with deep regret" said the
secretary in formal statement
that | note the daily stream of false
reports with regard to the sinking OF
American ships. Brokerage wires are
particular source for those baselesS
rumors that connot but be the cause
OF needless distress to every true
American as well as to the mothers
and fathers of the nation who have
sons at sea.
The department has given repeat
ed assurance that its policy is to be
one of absolute frankness with respect
to disaster. If it should be that ships
are sunk, full information will be
given out officially and quickly.
Asks Press To Help.
The reason for these false reports
cannot be ascertained The one hope
il that the press will refues to aid
this campaign of vicious rumor that
is being carried on so industriously
by persons unknown"
Altho only in remote cases have the
sensational rumors found their way
into print their distribution has been
widespread and. in some cases their
influence has been marked by wide
fluctuations in grain, cotton and stock
exchanges. The Washington corre-
spondents and news services have had
innumerable queries about reported
disasters to one or another destroyer
or battleship and one rumor widely
circulated told of a mythical engage
ment off Heleoland in which a large
number of American ships were sup
posed to have been lost.

Japan withdrawing
Gold From America
At Alarming Rate

WASHINGTON, May 25.
Japan is withdrawing gold from
the United States at rate which
has caused considerable interest
and some speculation as to the
meaning of the movement. APP
proXimately $35,000,000 has been
Withdrawn since January /, and
other Withdrawals are expected
in the future.
Officials here feel that the
movement is not fully accounted
for by the balance of trade. The
possibility that some Of the other
allied governments are paying
their munitions bills to Japan
with gold in this country made
available by the extension of
credits by this government has
been discussed, but it is believed
that this contingency likewise
would not account for the strong
current of gold shipments west
ward.
The gold supply at San Fran
cisco from which shipments to
Japan are made has at present
reached point where the gov
ernment has decided that the
cost of transferring gold across
the continent properly should be
borne by the interests intending
to ship 1t out of the country.
Treasury officials under exist
ing laws have no power to pro-
hibit the expectation of gold but
must redeem gold certificates
with gold.

All speculation in foodstuffs is to be

The question of fixing food prices
in Great Britain is still unsettled. 1t
1t stated that action here on the mat

since England is mainly dependent
upon the United States for supplies
and is unable to fix prices here unless

1t is not necessary to emphasize for
the thoughtful reader the difficulties
of this situation or to suggest the grave
peril to our country which lies beneath
it. *+* That our own commerce in
our own ships should be barred from
Europe by the arbitrary decree of one
of the belligerents whose only means
of suppressing it is to destroy it on
the high seas is a matter which the
people of America will expect our gov
eminent to deal with in accordance
with our rights as neutrals and with
due regard to the maintenance of our
national honor.
