even in the restricted sense made by the present communique of the French government.
 Nothing is known to the Austro- Hungarian government of entreaties for an alleged separate peace with which the Austro- Hungarian govern ment worried the governments of Rome. Washington and London. When M Clemenceau asks the Austro- Hun- garian foreign minister whether he re- members that two months before the Revertata affair-that is about year ago-an attempt of a like nature was made by d parsonage of far higher rank, Count Czernin does not hesitate to reply in the affirmative. But for the sake of completeness and entire correctness in should be added that this attempt also led to no result.
 Camouflages With Words
 "So much for the establishment or | the facts. For the rest it need only be remarked that Count Czernin for | his part would see no reason to deny | it, if, this or any similar case, he had | taken the initiative. because, in con- trast to M. Clemenceau, he believes it cannot be a matter for reproach for a government to make attempts to bring about an honorable peace, which would liberate all possible from the terrors of the present war.
 "The dispute raised by M. Clemen- ceau has, moreover, diverted attention from the real kernel of Count Czern- ins statement. The essence of this statement was not so much who sug- 1 gested the discussions undertaken be- fore the beginning of the western of fensive but who caused their collapse. And NJ. Clemenceau up to the present has not denied that he refused to en- ter upon negotiations on the basis of the renunciation of the re-acquisit1on of Alsace- Lorraine"

BOB FITzsIMMoNs DIED POOR
Estimated He Made $25o,ooo In Ring, Besides $5O,o00 He Received From
 Moving Pictures.

Improvidence seems to be the rule among boxers, most of whom will not lay aside something for a rainy day. When Bob Fitzsimmons died recently he left nothing in money or property. Yet he earned a fortune n the ring. He settled a house and many thou sands of dollars on his second wife, Rose Julian, and her children. He re ceived $1O,OOO from his two battles with Naher, $4,OOO from his bout with Hall, about $2O,OOO from his scrap with Cor bett at Carson City, S6,eOO for whip ping Dan Creedon, $15,0O0 for two bouts with Tom Sharkey, $2O,OO0 for two battles with Jeffries, $1O.O00 for the contest with Gus Ruhlin and many thousands more for other ring exhibi- tionS.
 In an it is estimated that Fitz made $250,O0O in the ring, besides which he received about $5O,O00 from moving pictures of his fights. He made many unwise investments and was a mark for adventurers and buncO men, be sides which his generosity was re sponsible for further scattering the thousands he had accumulated.

 "You're a sham patriot, Jed Farley i''
 "Am I? Am I?' shouted the richest man in Edgemoor. q reckon I dis counted you two to one in subscribing to the Liberty loan, and say! I'll make the eyes of all of you open when the company from the county seat comes down here to go into camp"
 ''That's all right,'' nodded calm and blunt Judge Warrington, ''but I hold no man is a patriot who neglects his kin, especially a kin that has contrib uted it's volunteer quota to the war;
 Huh! What are you driving at?'' snorted old Jed.
 "Your nephew, Luke Farley. He's a married man with two children and you'd ought to be proud of him, for he was among the first to answer to his country's call. A fine citizen you are, too! never going near the only close relative you have in the world, your own brother"
 You're meddling with what is none of your business! !'' roared old Jed. Get up, Nance !" and in high dudgeon he gave the horse a cut with the whip and left the judge and a group of curi- OuS 1oiterers about him.
 It was because Jed Farley recog- niZed the justice of this public arraign- ment on the part of the outspoken judge that he winced. His brother, Morton Farley, was a sore spot with Jed. The latter was a hard man in every sense of the word. He was, how ever, rather precise and welded to his ways than grasping or deliberately cruel.
 He had not spoken to his brother nor any member of his family for ten years. The separation had come about through money matters. He had loaned Morton thousand dollars. The money was to be paid back in two years. When it came due Morton had writ ten to his brother, stating that he could not repay the loan, and asking Jed to come and visit him, as he was very i'll, and see if some arrangement could not be made for payment in the future.
 The unfortunate phase of the mat ter was that some gossiping trouble makers had brought the report to Jed
Williams news., 1918-03-14

that the money had been borrowed to send Luke Farley to college. Now Jed's theory had always been that mo- body but snObS wasted money on higher-up education. The busybodfes hinted at the extravaganza of modern college students, and Jed felt that he had been swindIed and his money squandered. He sent back unopened every letter he received from his brother after that, and the break in fraternal affection was complete.
 He tried to banish the memories the words of Judge Warrington had aroused. He sought to justify his ac- tion as the correct procedure in a strictly business transaction.
 "Sham patriot, humph!" he solilo- quized. 'fPll show these meddling gos- sipers and gadders a wrinkle or two along the patriotism line that will Startle 'em.''
 Herewith this strange bundle of ec- centricity and self-assertiveness set at work on a plan to acquit himself cred itably as to his love for his country. Within a few days a newly recruited infantry company raised in this dis trict was to march from Newton and make camp near Ardmore. It had been proposed to give them a great ovation all along the route. Jed set busily at work to do his bit in the same.
 He ordered a big flag and strung it across the street in front of his home. He purchased a thousand small flags and had his man of all work distribute them to every house and, boy and girl i'm the town He bOupht wards of bunting, decorated old Nance, the faithful horse that had been his most reliable servant for two full decades, and covered the wagon with it.

Boxer Hero Crippled
 in the European War

Jack Munroe, who leaped to f1stic fame in a single night by dropping Jim Jeffries in an ex- hibition bout in 1902, is back in Canada recruiting for the Ca nadian army, after being per- manently crippled in the Euro pean war.
 Munroe is the first of the box CTS who gained fame in America to come through the war as a hero. Munroe performed many brave deeds while at the battle front, according to other soldiers who fought with him, and if ever there was a suspicion that. he was not thoroughly game, it has been removed. His right arm is paralyzed as the result of being shattered with a Ger man shell, and while he will not go back to the battlefield he is still doing something for the Canadian government.
