WELSH LOSES TITLE
 TO BENNY LEONARD

Up to this time the bottle was one of the fastest that has ever been seen in this city, in the early rounds Welsh gave every evidence that he was going to make this a stalling affair like all of his other battles since he became champion.
 But Leonard knowing the Welsh trick of lead and clinch lead and clinch never varying his style until the final gong sounds-had some ideas of his own and just as soon as Welsh began to stall he cut loose at such a pace that Freddy simply had to fight as a matter of protection.
 The result was that the fans were treated to an exhibition of just how fast the champion could travel if pressed and up to the ninth round he had redeemed himself with the sport lovers but never for an instant did he have an edge on his opponent.
 In the ninth Welsh attempted to resort to h1s old tactics of lead and clinch, but Benny who was waiting for this stepped away avoiding the clinch proving that his head was working as fast as his feet, tore in a terrific left to the body and then a right to the jaw that gave him the champion ship of the world.
 This Benny Leonard has made him self popular by his extreme cleverness clean habits and willingness to at all times give the best that is in hmm and 1t is sure that any matches ac- cepted by him will mean packed houses for there will be no stalling in any of his battles.
 Leonard has been trying to get Welsh into long distance match for months but the former champion wanted none of it, preferring to stick to the safety route namely New York. short, no decision bouts and the re- markable thing about the change in the title is that Leonard was able to take it from him over this distance.

WAY IS NOW
 CLEAR FOR ACTION
IT IS BELIEVED, CONGRESS WILL ACT ON RESOLUTION DECLAR- ING EXISTENCE OF WAR, BE- FORE ADJOURNMENT TODAY.

Washington, April 3. The way was cleared on both sides of the capitol to- day for prompt enactment of the ad- tministration resolution declaring that a state of war exists with Germany, and directing the president to prose cute 1t with all the nations resources to successful termination.
 Baked by Senator LaFollette in their effort to have the resolution talk en up immediately after it had been presented from the Foreign Relations Committee, leaders decided to begin tomorrow at 10 o'clock a session to continue until a vote is taken. Let ters signed by Senators Martin and Gallinger, the Democratic and Re- publican leaders, went to each sena- tor today asking him to be in his seat tomorrow when the Senate meets and announcing the plan for a continuous session.
 If the leaders can hold quorum as they were able to do in the closing hours of the last session on the armed neutrality bill it is probable that there will be action late tomorrow night or early Thursday morning. It is not ex- pected that there vii be any attempt ito filibuster but no one knows how many senators would speak
 Adoption of the resolution by the house before tomorrow night is pre- dicted by members of the Foreign Af- fairs Committee The committee will meet in the morning and is expected to report back quickly the resolution as approved today by the Senate Com mittee. A special rule probably will be asked from the Rules Committee to expedite the resolution regardless of it's progress in the Senate the little delay is looked for once it reaches the house floor. Sentiment in the house is almost unanimously in favor of the measure.
 Kirby Still Opposes
 Senators believe that if friends of the resolution can be prevented from wasting time in speech-nlaling, a vote in the Senate need not be delayed many hours. They expect few votes against 1t, and not many speeches in opposition. Republicans in close tuoch with the situation believe Sen- ators IaFollette Gronna and Norris on the Republican side will speak and vote against the resolution. and that they will be joined by Senators Stone and Kirby, Democrats. The position that Senators Gummins and Lane, in the group President Wilson blamed for failure to the armed neutrality bill, will take IS not known.

Going the Limit.

In the War News Digest, published
by the United States government, we
find the following:
Concentrated straw fodder and
ground grape pips are suggested for
table use in Germany. In published
list of new foodstuffs, with descrip-
lions of use, the following are also
found:
Rhubarb leaves, seaweed, straw
meal, crushed and ground maize ears,
heather stalks, ground sugar-beet
seeds, parsley seed, wild radish husks,
bran, wine yeast, beechnut cakes, fish
meal, and various mixed foods.
Attempts have recently been made
in England to establish the use of
rhubarb leaves as greens, but it ap-
pears that such food is dangerous.
English newspapers have reported
several cases of illness following the
eating Of rhubarb leaf blades.

Potato Market Flat.

Quotations remain the same as last
week, but there is practically nothing
doing at the warehouses, the majority
of which have temporarily closed down
in fact, only two or three concerns
are buying at this time and they are
taking in but few loads. While the
weather is not favorable for hauling,
this is not the only reason why grow
ers are not bringing their potatoes to
market-they are holding for higher
prices, and no one can blame them. It
costs 70 cents bushel to raise pota-
toes, and it is better to feed them to
live stock than to sell them for 60
cents a bushel. If we mistake not the
prices will ere long advance.
Shipments have been heavier this
week, something like rs cars having
left here.

Letter From Princeton Soldier.

Arthur Whittemore, formerly Of
Princeton, who enlisted in cycle
platoon at Regina, Sask., writes from
England, and hereunder are few ex-
tracts from his letter in which, he says,
he enclosed his photo. The picture,
however, did not materialize- proba-
bly, wastebasketed by the censor:
I would like to be remembered to my
friends and to hear from my old
teachers and schoolmates if there are
any in Princeton now. I have been
transferred from the cycle platoon to
the infantry. On the Fourth of July
Old Glory was very much in evidence
in England. Have had a very nice
time since I came here and completed
my training. I expect to be called up
on to cross the channel almost any
time. Met one boy from Princeton
here-the older of the Cakes brothers.
I am an A No. 1 fighting man now
and expect to account for quite a few
Huns before they get me.
My address is: Arthur Whittemore,

Company, Bramshotta Camp, Hants,

Returned From Their Sad Mission.

E. L. Mcmillan and Fred Keith re-
turned from Maine Monday evening.
Mrs. Keith and Miss Simpson re-
manned to rest with the relatives of
the late Judge Keith for few days.
The party reached Pennington last
Thursday, and the same afternoon the
remains Of Judge Keith were inferred
in the old family burying ground. The
only services were few appropriate
remarks by Mr.. Mcmillan at the home
of one Of Judge Keith's cousins be-
fore the body was removed to the
cemetery.
Early last week terrific storm swept
over the New England states, and in
Maine, Mr.. Mcmillan says, the ground
was covered with a blanket Of snow
more than two feet in depth. But the
storm had subsidized and the roads were
cleared before they reached there.

Good Roads All Important.

This from. the Wadena Pioneer
Journal meets with the Unions hearty
approval.
Our people will be fortunate if, in
the drive after record production in
all lines, they keep we'll in mind the
great Importance Of good roads. Good
roads are, in fact, one Of the prime
factors of success in our efforts to ex-
coed all former productive records.
The farmer who, after harvesting a
bumper crop, attempts to move that
crop to market over poor roads, soon
finds that he must sacrifice a large
percent of his profits in reaching the
market with his wares. The lumber
man who has cut choice lot of ma
terial finds he must give up the lions
share of his profits in getting his
stuff to the railroad. The same holds
good in all lines-poor roads mean a
waste of energy; good roads conser-
walton of energy that may be profit
ably employed in more production.

will be part? True it is that it may
call for. sacrifice on your part, but
after all what is all that we can do
here at home compared with what the
boys are willing to do and are doing
for us in this terrible war?
We here, safely ensconced in our
homes enjoying the comfort Of our
usual lives, far removed from the
scenes where the Sinking submarine
lies in wait to plunge it's victims into
the icy waters, far from the hell of the
battlefield, from it's awful carnage,
from it's earsplitting cannonading,
from the heartrending cries of the
wounded, far from the cold damp
trenches, far from the stencil and other
nauseating horrors of No Mans Land,
knowing nothing of the dismal night
watches with the nerve-racking watt
ing for any diabolical form of the
enemy attack may assume who
are far from it all, what can we do
for those who are enduring all these
horrors, and are enduring them for us
that we may continue to enjoy the
comforts of our homes in a free coun-
try, that our women and girls may not
suffer the same fate as the women and
girls Of France and Belgium, that we
may not be ground under the heel of a
despot? Anything we can do seems
but an atom compared to their sacri-
fees.
A few months from now we may
be reading each day in the papers long
columns of the wounded in which are
likely to appear the names of the boys
we know and love.
It will be a comfort to them to know
that we have done what we could to
sustain the Red Cross in it's work of
mercy among those very boys. We
will feel that we are a part Of it if
we have done our whole duty toward
the Red Cross in what we have been
asked to do here at home.
Citizens Of Mile Laos county, we
have not once been up to our quota in
any drive put on since the war began
Let US wipe out that record by re-
spending, as never before, to the call
of humanity and "Make it Red Cross
Christmas!"

Tax Exemption for Congressman.

Under the above caption the Mime
apolis Journal prints the editorial here
under reproduced. To the intelligent
reader it will be clearly seen that the
article, which is we'll written, is i'm
pregnated with satire:
The action of congress in laying an
excess profits tax on all salaries above
a certain limit, with a few exceptions,
including those of members of con-
gress, has appeared to many cheer
full subscriber to the common defense
fund as surprising lack Of loyalty in
our national legislators-the more so
because the vote for it was practically
unanimous, and also because the tax
thus lodged would be but hundred
and twenty dollars for each member.
1t is only fair to say that probably
nine-tenths of the members of con-
gress who voted for this extra tax on
salaries were wholly ignorant Of this
exemption clause. AS originally
passed by both houses the bill did not
include this exemption, but in the
course of the discussion of the bill by
a small joint conference committee this
clause was inserted. It was not pub
lished in the Congressional Record,
however, until after congress had adj
journed. The passage Of the bill after
its readjustment by the conference

thousands of dear ones, Christmas,
1917 will he war Christmas

thousands of dear ones, Christmas,
1917, will be war Christmas.
Into this somber outlook the Red
Cross is seeking to bring something of
cheer. In a campaign lasting from
December 16 till Christmas eve it will
ask for 100000 new members. 1t
will urge these 100000 to become
"Red Cross Christmas" recruits, that
they may enable the Red Cross to
Tighten the burden our army and navy
and those of our allies are called upon
to bear. -.
This cooperation with the Red Cross
is real service Of which we may all be
proud. And that this service, when
rendered by one, may be known to his
neighbor, the Red Cross will urge each
old and each new member to display at
his home Red Cross service flag on
which each Red Cross stands for a
member.
The hundreds and thousands of these
flags already being shown by old mem
bers will swell into millions before
Christmas, each flag and each little
cross bearing testimony that some
ones Christmas has been made hap
pier for himself or herself, happier for
our own boys and happier for the SOL
diers of our allies.
Let us all help to make this a Red
Cross Christmas-which is another
way of saying: Let us make it the
happiest Christmas possible with the
war crowds hanging low.

Not a Bad Suggestion.

We have had and are having tmeat-
less" "wheatless," "sugarless" and all
other kinds of food conservation days,
and now the Sank Center Herald has
coined new word to express what
it wants-"A Politicless Year"-and
reasons thusly:
Under our hotchpotch election legis-
lation we have made partizanship a
farce and partyism stupendous joke.
We have eliminated party out of every
place where it belongs and put it in
every place where it is useless and. as
a result, we have the biggest bunch of
ciphers in public places that ever rep
resented us in legislation and operated
a state. The only strong men we have
are those who came down to US by
inheritance from our former system.
There never was a time when hon
esty, ability, experience, courage and
wisdom was so badly needed in public
service as at the present time.
There never was time when dead
wood was Of as little use as now.
The people, as never before, are en-
titled to the best there is in public
service, and if the best does not offer
itself it should be conscripted by the
public.
We propose to the citizens of Mime
sofa to eliminate politics in the 1918
selection and elections contests, to
make capability and not party the
test, to relegate all the assistant
kaisers, the hedgers and jokes to priv
ate life, and if the other states but
follow the lead there will be a safe
able and wise handling Of the great
questions that are confronting the
nation and the states.
History is going to be made in the
two next legislative years and the
kind Of history that is made depends
on the kind of men the voters choose
to make it.
We have the opportunity to make E
brilliant record that will stand as g
glorious precedent for the world re.
generation that will follow the war
or we may piffle, parleyfox, strive fol
local advantage and mar the historical
page with action that will cause flu
ture generations to hang their heads
with shame.
Personally we don't care a cont
mental whether affairs are run b,
democrats or republicans, but we dt
want them to be run by Americans
strong men, able men, men who arr
striving for something more than {
mere salary, men with broad vision
men with commanding ability who
can put the United States of America
on pinnacle and make it the grea7
dominating force in future action anc
not allow this land Of the free to PLAY
second fiddle to monarchies in deciding
the momentous issues that are de-
handing settlement.
