N~o-MAr AND GENERAL ITEMS

Johnny Coulon, aged bantam weight, was willing to admit last Tuesday that the younger genera tion has something on the old folks He lasted just two rounds and a half of scheduled ten-round go with Pete Herman, champion, at Racine, Wis, last Monday night. A right swing to the jaw sent Johnny down for nine count. Although he got up, he was out on his feet and the referee stopped it.
 The knockout resulted from a right swing to the jaw just as the boxers came out of a clinch. Up to this time there had been little actual fighting, both men relying largely on footwork. Coulon, how ever, had landed few light blows, but with no apparent effect on his opponent.
 Herman weighed 118h and Cou- lon 109A.

Ritchie Cannot Become Officer.

As1CClliC OdlLOt OSCOlUC OluCCI. Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion of the world, and a mem Der of last years civilian camp at Del Monte, had his application for a berth in the officers reserve corps negatived because of a lack of high CT education, says a San Francisco dispatch. Willie wasn't exactly turned down, but when the officer in charge learned that Ritchie was minus even full grammar school education, he advised him against making application.
 'There will be some stiff eXamina- lions for the men who are seeking commissions in the army" he told
 Ritchie, land the chances are with
 your lack of education you might
 )e hard put to pass. For instance, 10 you know how to extract the
 square root?'
 Willie confessed that he didn't and that he didn't know exactly what it meant.
 Ritchie, while he hasn't a world of educations, is smarter by far than 99 per cent. of the boxers in the country and if he is turned down, particularly in view of his military training of month, the balance of the boys might as well decide to line up with the rank and file.
 Ritchie has aspirations to join the aviation corps and it is likely soon- CT or later he will be accommodated He may find it necessary to enter lower down than as an officer, but he has already signified his willing ness to do that when it becomes nec- essary.

Up to April 2, ac- cordng to figures published by the State Depart at Washington of a total of 6S6 neutral ships sunk by German submarines 40 were Norwegian.
 At the beginning of the Norway's merchant ranked fourth among those of the nations of the world ouclassing Frances. In the last three years German submarines have destroyed Norwegian than French ships of commerce.

 Newspapers of the Sound cities are taking com fort from the fact that this is to be the season for the big quadrennial run of the sockeye salmon, and that business is going to be good whether or not the ambitious wooden ship building program develops Says the Anacortes American
 Regardless of whether Anacortes gets a ship yard several shipyards this city is certain to have a more than ordinarily busy summer because of the activities of her canneres. At the big fisheries plants extensive preparations going forward to prepare for the quadriennal of sockeye salmon New lines of canning equipment being added and canneres of this city getting ready put up the biggest catch in the history of the city
 At the present scarcity of labor wages will prob ably be higher than before; fishermen will re ceve an unusually good price fro mthe packers and the packers Will get opnotch prices for their product All of these factors will give Anacortes some of her oldIime pep regardless of shipyards But then we Will not be too busy to take shpyard or two in the meantime.

ent efforts of the state department to
secure the release from Belgium of
two Americans. G. C. Clayton of the
Western Electric Co., and - -
Whipple, of the Bell Telephone Co.,
have been successful according to a
report to the department today from
The Hague.
The men have arrived there from
Antwerp, where they have been de-
tanned by Germans since before the
war between United States and Ger
many.
Their cases were similar to many
others. the German government re-
fusing to issue passports. Germany
never replied to the representation,
but information since received by the
department indicated that almost all
Americans other than those of German
birth or ancestry had left the country.
Among those still in Germany, how.
ever. are many who are known to
have been forced into military SER
vice on the ground that Germany re-
cards their naturalization in the Unit
ed States as Invalid and still hold that
they are German citizens.
1t also has developed that several

papers in the United States voluntar-
lily reassumed their obligations as ma.
