NEW YORK, Nay Boxing lesson,
~ under professional instructors II
all OF the army cantonments in thi,
country have done much toward max
ing highly efficient fighters out Of
the Sammies.
This is the opinion Of many
critics who have visited the train
Ing camps, where the soldier boys
have been taught all the fine
points Of offence and defence
known to the Eisfic fraternity,
and the prediction Is made that
before the war o. over the fight
ing men Of Uncle sam will be
known as the fightinEest fighters
who have ever been seen on n bat
uefieId-
Instruction in the use OF the bayo-
net is not unlike instruction in box
ing. Many Of the movements are the
same, and hundreds Of lads who have
never known how 10 put Up their
dukes" are becoming past masters at
it now
Help ri close Quarters.
In hand TO hand fighting, which Is
expected 10 play a big rart In the de-
Gliding battles Of the war, the prepa-
ration given the sammies is highly
valuable And the Sammie who has
BOche much quicker than the soldier
who knows nothing OF boxing.
At a recent boxing tournament held
at Camp Upton, IN which some $4,000
soldiers had taken part before the
tourney simmered down 20 the finals
in each division, the ads who won
the various championships were non
professionals without exception. There
were a number Of pro boxers IN the
ranks Of the soldiers, and every last
man Of them was knocked ont.
Sturdy EIen.
Bilv Gibson, manager OF Benny
Leonard. who is the boxing instructor
az Upton. says he never saw such a
rough and ready army Of men In his
life
They are without a doubt the
toughest birds I have ever laid eyes
on" said Gibson, "and when they get
into the big fight over there they are
going 10 make the world open its
eyes. Two listed Wildcats Is what I'd
call 'em. and say your nifty profes-
sional hasn't got a look in
Leonard admitted to me there
are better men IN the army than
he ever saw in fAe professional
ring when IL comes to downright
fighting, and he ought to know.
And they like boxing too. They
simply eat ii up

OVERSEAS MAIL
BRINGS GOOD TIDINCS
Many Letters Received Mon.
day

Second only to the excitement
caused by the news of the armis-
tice signing was that occasioned
on Monday morning when the news
spread abroad that the heaviest
consignment of overseas" mail
yet received was awaiting distri-
button at the local postoffice. The
good news spread with marvellous
rapidity and all day long the clerks
were beseiged by anxious relatives
of those in the service lover
there" Not many were disappoint-
ed and great numbers were made
glad by the receipt of several let
ters from a son, a husband, a
brother or a sweetheart. Anxious
relatives who had received no cou-
pons for Christmas boxes, received
them in yesterdays letters and the
gifts long-prepared and ready
were packed and sent eastward in
an incredibly short time.

CHILDREN MAKE GIFT
TO RED CROSS
Present 100 Glasses of Tellv
and Other Good THINGS

The children of the Primary De-
partment of the Newark Schools
had a unique and intensively pat
riotic party on Tuesday. With the
assistance of Miss Ruby A. Mil
Ter, they planned last week to make
a personal contribution to the Red
Cross fund and conceived the idea
of each bringing glass of jelly or
a jar of fruit and marching with
their offering to Local Headquar-
ters. Representatives Of the Red
Cross had tables ready when the
little folks, accompanied by their
teachers, came bearing their gifts.
These were proudly presented and
furnished the astonishing total of
100 glasses of jelly, a dozen jars
of fruit, a half dozen squares of
sweet chocolate, apples, oranges
and several little bags of candy.
After the presentation they
lined up in military formation with
four color bearers, sang America
and gave vociferous yell for
Newark and the Red Cross, then
marched in excellent order back to
the school building.

ouent sermon, he developed this

Hamilton Holt
Speaks at Victory
Celebration
Tells Experiences in France
Representative Crowd
Fills Wolf Hall to
Full Capacity

A representative Newark au-
dience filled every available seat
in Wolf Hall on Saturday night
and every added seat that the fire
regulations allow when, as part
of the Community Victory Cele-
bration, Hamilton Holt, the dis
tinguished editor and author de-
livered his address, son and Be-
hind the Front Lines in France"
Mayor Eben B. Frazer, several
members of the Council, members
of the faculty at Delaware Col
lege, the ministers and others of
the leading citizens occupied the
platform with the speaker and
George Carter, editor Of the Will
mington Evening Journal.
Previous to the lecture a musi-
cal program was given by the
Delaware College orchestra and
Dean Hayward led the audience in
singing several war hymns. Rev.
Walter G. Haupt led in the open
ing prayer and Rev. Frank P. Her
son pronounced the benediction.
DR.. S. G. Mitchell, chairman of the
meeting referred briefly to it's pur-
pose and called upon Mr.. Carter
to introduce the distinguished
editor. He commended DR.. Nit
chell's policy of bringing to New
ark men and women of national
and international eminence and
explained facetiously that he was
probably chosen to introduce the
speaker because as editor of the
Evening Journal, he had closed the
war four days before the armistice
could possibly have been signed
and permitted the people of the
state to hold two peace celebra-
tions. He paid high tribute to Mr..
Holt as one Of Americas keenest
observers and analysts of present
day problems. The distinguished
speaker prefaced his address with
the thrilling statement "Today the
American boys are treading on
German soil-those boys who have
not yielded a single foot of French
soil since their entry into the
war" His entire address was an
intimate recital of personal eX-
periences and observations during
