SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.-With the great interest developed in boxing by it's prominence at the army train ing camps, and with more than forty entries already received, the Denver Athletic clubs annual amateur boxing tournament this winter is attracting more than usual attention Last year there were more than 160 men enter ed in the seven boxing and four wrestling classes of the tournament and this is expected to be exceeded heavily this year. The contest opens January 21
 Entries so far received include sev- eral from Wyoming and three from Nebraska, where newspapers are CO., operating with the club in securing entrants. In former years. though by far the greater number of entrants have represented regular clubs, many men have entered as Unattached. ' This practice is encouraged, as tend ing to bring in all possible entrants.
 The prizes this year are gold and silver watches. Only amateurs in the strict sense of the word are permitted to compete. Decisions are made by three judges, whose names are not dis closed and who are changed each night of the tournament. The tourna- ment generally lasts seven or eight days with from fifteen tq eighteen boxing or wrestling matches nightly. This year it probably will continue longer. Besides the two states named, entries may be made from Utah, Colo rado, New Mexico, Kansas and Okla homa.
 The classes for boxing are divided as follows; Under 1O8 pounds, 1O8 to 113 pounds; 115 to 125 pounds; 125 pounds to 135 pounds; 135 pounds to 145 pounds; 145 to 158 pounds and heavyweight

REC0VERS COAL FROM ASHES
Process Is Devised in Holland for Pre-. venting Great Waste That Aver
 age Furnace Causes.

The ashes removed from the average furnace often contain at least 20 per cent of unburned coal or coke, and this percentage is sometimes as high as 75. In Holland, where the war has caused a great shortage of fuel, a process for recovering this combusti- ble material has been devised.
 The refuse is ground and then put through sieVes of four different sizes, Each part is put into a separate basin containing liquid somewhat heavier than water, and the whole is stirred thoroughly. This causes the lighter particles, which are coke and uncon- stunned coal, to rise to the surface. When they have been scoOped out and dried they make excellent fuel, while the heavier particles can be used, it is said, in making a fine grade of con- crete.
 The liquid employed in the separat- Ing process is said to be inexpensive and a refuse product of factories.

What the President Eats.

President Wilson is only one of the famous trenchermen who have Occu- pied the White House since the days of Washington, and is also one of a number now prominent in the social life of the capital.
 The president is extremely fond of highly seasoned foods, cakes, sweets of all kinds and spices. This sort of diet, according to the best medical ad- vices, tends to have anything but a sweet effect upon ones disposition. It is reported that the chief executives predilection for such foods was more or less responsible for several little in- cidents which received notoriety when he first entered office, and which ceased suddenly when pr. (and Rear AdmiraD Cary T. Grayson began to prescribe more fresh air and more simple diet for his distinguished pa- tient-Elisha Hanson, in Cartoons Magazine.

Apache Railroad Work
 Progressing Satisfactorily

A. s. Bonnet, general manag- CT of the Apache Railway com pany, spent several days this week in the county looking over the work being done by the construction department of the road. He found this work pro- gressing very nicely under the efficient supervision of J. R. Farwell engineer in charge. Notwithstanding the fact that it has been impossible at all times to secure as many laborers as were needed, MT. Farwell has pushed the work with much vigor, and it is probable that the road will be completed to the lumber mills early next year.
 The town now building at the end of the line has been named Cooley. Mrs. Don c. Cooley will drive the final spike in the track when the road reaches that point.

New Gun Shoots Both Ways.

New Gun Shoots Both Ways.
 An army officer has invented a gun which shoots both ways at the same time. The purpose of this arrange ment is not to fight the enemy in the front and the rear at once, but to elimi- nate the recoil, and thus to save the time required in bringing the gun back into position for a second shot. The force exerted by the exploding powder in any gun is equal in both directions, hence the recOil, or "kick" By having a barrel open in both directions, by placing the charge of powder in the middle of the gun and by having a pro- jectile of equal weight on each side of the powder charge, the gun itself is not moved by the explosion. The projectile fired to the front is an ordi- nary explosive shell. The counterbal- ancing is a charge of fine shot of equal weight. The shot loses it's velocity and falls harmlessly to the ground within a few feet of the gun.

The peace that has been forced upon
Rumania is essentially German peace.
The treaty which the King of Ru-

the rafting Of the Hohenzollern and

crushing indictment of the rapacious
policy of the Central Empires. Lust
for territory, greed for conquest and
the extinction of national independ-

are stamped all over the terms enforc-
