 Based on this report, the Messager of Athens, makes plea to the Entente powers for "more bread before more cannon" Let us have bread" it says from charity. from military or poli- tical reasons, or from solidarity. Let us have bread Read the Municipal statistics" It declares that what Eng land and France know as privation would be luxury for the majority of the Greeks, who before the war could hardly feed themselves. and since the blockade of Greek ports have been under a vertiable famine. Rice, dry beans and peas, the chief foods of the poor have disappeared or reached fab ulous prices making them impossible for the poor, it asserts. while meat fish, eggs, poultry, butter and milk were never possible for the poor ex cept on holidays and are now entirely beyond their reach.

The Last of the Fighters.

Looking over the champions of the
contemporaneous Queensberry ring
and motley array of titleholders and
near titleholders, there seems to be
Just one real fighter left-little Johnny
Kilbane, the featherweight champion.
Johnny has gone out of his class twice
to annoy titleholders in other classes.
once he made the weight to box Kid
Williams, when the latter held the
bantamweight title, and later he gave
Freddie Welsh, Ostensibly the light
weight champion, sound beating. IN
this latter venture kilbane emulated
Terry McGovern, who went out of MS
class to fight Joe Cans and beat the
great colored boxer.
Morally--if the matter OF morality
can be considered in prizefighting-
Johnny Kilbane should hold three
titles. He beat Williams decisively for
the bantamweight championship and
he beat Freddie Welsh to fragile
for the lightweight championship. The
only reason why he does not hold three
titles legally is that 40 decisions
were permitted when he fought the
other two titleholders.
In beating Welsh, Kilbane did more
than conquer the man who holds the
lightweight title. Welsh weighed l4o
pounds or over that night. So kilbane
really beat a welterweight at the same
time. II the featherweight champion
would always fight at his best. as ne
did when he fought Welsh, he would
have many more friends in the east.
But, great fighter though ne Is, Kill
bane often refuses to extend himself
And when he elects to stall ana 10
i fake he is just as bad as any OF the
contemporaneous near fighters.
| The fight game will be given a tre-
mendous boost when all of the title
holders and claimants of pugiisuc
titles march in body to the recruit
ing office to enlist. Yes, they ought to
do that little thing.
