TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED

DEAR MlSS AlINF A-N'
A few months ago l met a young
woman between whose parents and
mine there exists a close friendship.
After two or three meetings she wrote
me she had fallen in love with me. In
a rash moment I answered her letter
in the same vein. We have. met sew
eral times since. and our parents take
us for lovers. But l find I do not love
her She has only just passed her
sixteenth birthday; and ! am only Is.
I told her a breach of friendship be-
tween our parents might occur. I
do not know how to proceed:
PUZZLED.
I believe the best thing you can do,
under the circumstances, Is to take
your mother or father, which ever is
more sympathetic. into your conf
dence. agree. with you that l6 and
understanding of the kind you mem

young woman that you are hardly In

7 cannot believe that your parents
are taking this matter seriously.

Wilde Coming to U. S.
to Meet Best BantamS Here

Jimmy Wilde. fiyweight champion
OF the world, conqueror of bantama
and featherweiGhts and the most re-
markable fighter of his weight yes
produced In Great Britain. is coming
to America to engage i'm bouts with
the best men in the bantam class.
The noted Briton will of necessity
meet the bantams because there are
no tiyweights Of ability in the United
States.
Wilde will arrive here early in the
new year. and, according to George
Dwyer. a business man of New York
city, who is the manager of Wilde's
forthcoming American tour. the Brit
lsh champion will be willing to take
on Pete Herman. the bantam cham
pion of the world, or Pal Moore. the
sailor boy who. got a three round de-
cision over Wilde in the recent inter-
national bouts In London.
Dwyer, who will start for England
in the contest with Moor was f01
with him, says that any American
promoter desiring to stage bouts be-
would do well to get into communities
ton with him. He added that Wilde
would be In readiness to enter the ring
early in the new year.
Dwyer declares that Wilde's weight

pounds and that Moore scaled at 116,
giving the American Al advantage OF
Is pounds. Also that Wilde
has weighed more than 1913 pounds,
which was his weight when he knock
ed out Johnny Rosner and Young
Zulu Kid.
In view of the diversity of opinion
regarding Wilde's weight his coming
will serve to settle for all time the
poundage OF the Welshman. If ne
gets on the scales and fails to show
more than 1913 pounds he will prove
that he is the most remarkable midget
in the history of pugilism.

willie Ryan Loses Flight
to Sullivan at Harrison

The same old clever style that
made Jim Sullivan OF Hoboken such
a crack in the amateur ranks stood
him in good stead Monday night at
the Harrison A. c., of Harrison,
where the former 'simon-pure' out-
boxed Willie Ryan OF New Bruins
wick, now in the navy, in the main
go of eight rounds. Ryan was Sui
livan's second professional opponent,
and Jim did remarkably well consid-
ering Ryan's experience.
Sullivan used a left jab with fine
effect and also a driving right across
that several times almost made his
opponents knees ag. Sully constant
ly kept his left in Ryan's face, while
the sailor lad waited until he was
able to corner Sullivan. Then Ryan
would let loose a bloody lombard
ment. Ryan's efforts were too far
apart to do any material damage.
Sullivan's weight was announced as
1873 pounds, far below his usual
~poundage. Ryan's called at 142.

ward C0mpiegne within week of its beginning is "a confession of the exis- tence of serious alarm at the kaiser's headquarters Hindenburgis entice- ments have been turned against him. self. Seeking to compel General Foch to stake an allied offensive at this time, Hindenburg himself has over drawn his own reserve force.
 Needs 100000 More Men.
 The situation now facing the Ger mans in France must become tncreas- ingly precarious with the fresh arrival of more and more Americans. Since the original German offensive began on March 21, Hindenburg has increas> ed the length of the west front by 66 miles. He is compelled to find 5000 men to hold every new mile whereby the front is extended. Within three months, therefore, Hindenburg has assumed the responsibility of find ing some 100000 more German troops to hold the west front than was the case last March. This new call for German units comes at time when America has begun to fill the reserves of the allies with an initial contribu- tion of SOO,OOO men.
 The race is too swift for Hinden- burg. Germany cannot stand so ter rible drain on her manpower, which must be indefinitely continued to meet Americas fast accumulation of strength. Hindenburg is wearing his armies out as offensive cOmbatants. Another blow or two may be left to him, but only from sheer desperation. Among those Germans who know all the facts hope can no longer exist except for those who dwell permanent ly in illusions-that Hindenburg can gain military victory in France that will win the war.
 The defensive must soon be accept ed by Hindenburg as his permanent ole. And when Americas millions in eastern France. start for the Rhine, block the way than if Hindenburg had not so extravagantly extended his de- .ense lines in Flanders, Picardy and Champagne All the iron crosses in Germany cannot conceal the reality If this fact much longer from the Ger
 nan people, as ruinous to the reputa- tion of Hindenburg
