would not give up after others were
satisfied he could not come back and
when his financial status did not re-
quire him to work, and today he is
hopelessly broken down, unable to rec
ognize hts family or friends.
Nelson has been fighting since 1896,
professionally since 1898, when he was
sixteen years old. He is t~hirty-fve
years old now, and he has been mauled
in the ring as no other man ever was
mauled before. The stamina and cour-
age which put him on top of the heap
will not help now For while the lion
heart remains the stamina is gone. He
is burned out by his years of training
and fighting. 1t is pitiable to see the
once king Of them all reduced to fight
ing for a pittance.

Radicals and Socialists Oppose
Annexation.
GERMAN GENERALS HELPLESS
Won "Hindenburg and Won Ludendorff
Unable to Convince Reichstag
Of Eventual Success.

Copenhagen. - Asserting that the
reichstag 'labors for peace and
mutual understanding and lasting
reconciliation among the nations and
political, economic violations are in
compatible with such a peace" a
resolution agreed to by the majority
block of the center Radicals and So
cialists will be introduced when the
reichstag reassembles, according to
the Berliner Tageblatt.
The resolution was agreed to despite
the presence in Berlin of Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg and General Won
the front to sidetrack the proposal by
giving encouraging reports Of the mill
tary situation and to inspire the reich
stag with a belief in the possibilities
of obtaining that German peace
worthy of the sacrifices made" to
which Won Hindenburg committed
himself in his published replies to
memorials of Pan-German %organiza-
lions.
The peace resolution cites that the
German people stand on the assurance
of the speech from the throne, Aug. 4,
1914, which said Germany is driven
by no lust of conquest.
1t further declares that the freedom
Of the seas must be assured and that
only an economic peace can prepare
the ground for the friendly associa-
ton Of the peoples.
The resolution also proposes to put
the reichstag on record for the crea-
tion of international jurisdiction or.
CARNATIONS.
The conclusion, however, contains a
threat that, so long as the enemy gov
ernments refuse to accept such a
peace and SO long as they threaten
Germany and her allies with conquest,
the German people will stand together
as III man and fight until the rights
of themselves and allies to life and
development are secured.
