NEW YORK. July 1s.-The country

after winning the lightwei ght cham
pionship from Freddie Welsh that he
would Immediately join some branch of
the United States army or navy. and
that his fights would be against only
the best men in his division.
Since that announcement Leonard
has fought twice-against a "setup"
each time. He has been matched for
an encounter in Philadelphia with
Johnny Kilbane and the fight is to go
only six rounds.
Leonard turned down one of the best
offers the country ever heard Of for a
bout in that class when he refused Matt
Hinkel's offer Of a S25.on0 purse for
fifteen round go in Ohio--and no deci-
sion was attached TO the articles for
the bout. Kilbane and his manager had
set their signatures to the agreement
and were ready % go ahead
One of two things happened to
Leonard when he received that offer.
He either figured Kilbane far too dan
gerous to battle for fifteen rounds or
he decided that fighting six rounds for
a wad of money was more remunerative
than battling fifteen rounds for a

The prize money voted for the race is
$4,000. Of which the winner will receive
$4,000. the second man under the wire
$4,000 and the third $1,000, the other
prizes grading down to $3.50 for the
driver finishing tenth.
Already negotiations have been enter

this feature of the Decoration day races

IN CLASS BY
HIMSELF?

NEW YORK. July 17.--Mike Gibbons

the same stage of operations wher'
Johnny Kilbane stands.
These two masters of their art ar,
practically out Of some one to fight
For a lack of featherweights of class
Kifbane Is being forced to take on tn
lightwei ghts. Gibbons, out of class,
middleweights. IS forced TO just si
around, for there really are few lghi
heavies who look attractive when com
pared to Mike.
Mikes inaction, however. is far from
pleasing to the fistic public. Although
recognizing the fact that Gibbons
stands out over the many would-be
rivals. fans would like to the st
Paul Ghost take one more fling at the
top-notchers. Jimmy Clabby is still fal
from being classed among - has-beens
and JEFF Smith insists he can and al
ways could whip Mike.
However. the most insistent cries for
attention from Gibbons are coming just
now from Soldier Bartfeld. Ted Lewis
and Mike Dowd.
Lewis. a welterweight, has given
Gibbons one tough argument. and Bart
field holds q newspaper decision over
the man generally recognized as the
king of the middleweig hts. O'Dowd is
q graduate Of the Gibbons school and
IS recognized as one of the best men
the welterweight division has seen in
many days.
Any one of this trio of weIters would
give Mike argument-a hot one. And
then. If he could induce Al Mccoy TO
get into a ring with him there would
be another bout of more or less posi-
bilities. Al Is not champion and
never has been. but he manages to hang
on 10 what little claim he has to the
title. Until he is soundly thrashed by
Gibbons or some one else he will lay
folks will believe him.
A revival Of interest in the middle
weights is needed. In the days OF Stan
ley Ketchel this was the most popular
of weights. 1t has begun to run down
only since Gibbons whipped the best
men in the division and began to spend
his time clipping coupons.
Mike spent most OF last winter in
New York trying to drive Les Darcy
into a match. The Australian was alb
solutely unimpressable on the subject
1t meant a clear title to a worlds cham
pionship for either he or Gibbons, but
Darcy blocked every move.
Since that time Gibbons has enga ged
in just one encounter and that with
George Chip on July 4. Indications are
he is beginning another campaign. If
so. It will be welcome

WELL, WHOSE FLAG IS THIS:

The Times has been from the first with President
Wilson. He is the nations chief; We are at war;
Furthermore he is good chief, peace OF war.
The Times favored CONSUMPTION as being the only
just, honest, impartial method of gathering a great
army in record time.
The Times supported the Liberty Loan, subscribed
$4,000 thereto and financed its employees to purchase
these bonds.
So much for The Times and its attitude towards
these men and measures
BUT
Let lis consider other phases of this war and
outline some policies for the safety of armies and
the preservation of democracy.
There are recurring rumors of revolution in Ger
many.
Russia appears to have rather fully determined to
whom its flag belongs
China upsets its returning Manchu monarchy in
day
Everywhere it appears that humanity is sloughing
OH It's gags and binders and nooses and protect
ors and is endeavog to things for the good of the
mass, rather than for the glory of the class
So it would seem timely for this the eldest free
ton on earth, to discover for itself just where it is
headed.
TO WHOM DOES THE STARS AND STRIPES
BELONG?
In this world war for democracy is this nation going
to be conducted for the welfare of the people, or the
profit of plunderbund?
Are we fighting for democracy across the seas, to
give up such freedom as we have left at home?
Who is going to get the billions we will spend for|
supplies, munitions ships and arms.
How definite, efficient, democratic are the pro-
CRANE of these boards and commissions that in al
night have been set to rule over us?
What sort of conditions are our BOYS going to find
when they reach these huge environments?
What is the program that this nation will uphold

that lasted turnout the night. The
check to the crown princes plans
was complete.
The reason for these supreme
efforts is easily appreciated when
1t is understood that unless the
enemy retakes Chemin des Danes
before the next strategic retreat "
they must drive the French from
the priceless observatories ON this
highway. From these dominant
positions the French would be able
to see the details of such a retreat.
1t would be fatal to undertake
such a move in plain view.

IN THE FIELD, July 23.-Ger-
manv has found the Chemin des
Danes another Verdun.
To date, five days of continuous,
Herculean assault by the crown

nothing except losses unequalled
by the Germans since the attack
on Vaux in April, 1916.

the Teutons since that Verdun
campaign around Vaux.
The unyielding resistance of
the French must also have brought
just as bitter reflections to the
Germans as they felt at Verdun.
There is every indication that the
enemy staged it's assault on
Craonne, the California plateau,
Hurtebise, Cerny and Brav with
the idea that the crown p.ince
would be able to telegraph the
reichstag by Thursday the news
Of great victory" on the western
front.
The German militarists figured
that victory report would
strengthen their power with the
German parliament and result in
an immediate vote on the war
credit bill.
Prisoners examined today re-
vealed this scheme. They said the
attack had been planned early in
the week, but was delayed until
the day the reichstag met for con-
sideration of the war credit bill.
In the meantime, special picked
'Stosstruppen" were brought up to
make the victory" doubly secure.
The Germans included in these
picked troops the crack fifth di-
vision of the Prussian guard,
whose famous Queen Elizabeth
grenade company, incidentally,
was PARTIALLY wiped out by French
bombers in the fighting that fol-
lowed.
The German assault was launch
ed at 7:10 Thursday morning.
Great masses of troops were
thrown forward. The density of
the attackers was SO great that on
one section of a Kilometres width
(about two-thirds of a mile) four
complete regiments participated
approximately 5000 men).
When the first waves of the
German troops melted away there
were always fresh waves to dash
forward. Regiment after regl-
ment was sent to the slaughter I'M
til 1890 at night. Then came an
artillery preparation, succeeded In
the darkness by a new and gigan-
tic attack. The French met these
me- waves in hand to hand battle

Holland Could be Straw That

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 23.
Behind the immediate purpose
of the food and necessities en-
barge, to cut Germany off abso-
lutely from outside supply and
thus starve her and cripple her
and cripple her industries, lies
the ultimate purpose of forcing
the neutrals into war on the allies

At first thought Holland and
Norway seem unimportant small
countries, with small armies, all
needed to repel German invasion.
But that Is merely the SUI
perficial aspect. The large
strategical possibilities OF
these countries, particularly
Holland, would make their
entry of only slightly less
consequence than that OF the
United States.
