BRINGING THE WAR HOME

Lamars grand and glorOus' Red
Cross 4th of July has come and
gone, and despite inclement wealth
er, has been pronounced one Of the
most successful community celebra-
tions ever carried out in the valley.
The net proceeds are reported to
be large and the local chapters of
the American Red Cross are richer
by that sum today.
To the people of the surrounding
country and of her sister valley
towns Lamar desires to express
word of thanks for their presence.
for their never-failing optimism and
good humOr in the face of a dreary,
rainy day; and for their financial
and personal cooperation in max
ing the Red Cross Fourth a sue
cess. You spent your money liberal
ly, friends, and we thank you. In
practically every instance you got
full value received and you should
remember that Lamar women do
mated over thousand homemade
pies with which you were fed; that
dozens of men and women worked
and gave in order that expenses
might be kept down and profits for
the Red Cross increased; and that
bandages and surgical dressings
and whatnot that this money will
produce, will go to help your boys,
as well as our own.
1t was all for good cause and
almost everybody worked and gave
and spent alike. And after all is
said and done, didn't you have q
genuine good time?
Final returns from the registra-
tion of June 5th show that 744,S65
American men, just turned 81, en-
rolled for the selective service draft.
These men will be placed at the
end of class | and will be called in
their regular order.
If you still have one tiny linger-
ing doubt that this is OUR WAR
and that the United States must
fight for the absolute downfall of
Prussianism, read the German peace
terms proposed by Baron Some
thing or other recently.
Alsace-Lorraine to be given to
Germany-the entire English Fleet
to become German property-a
monstreus indemnity from the
United States-these are some OF
the provisions.
Certainly nation whose dip
lomats can have the nerve to pro
pose arrogant terms like this, even
in a spirit of braggadocio, is not
whipped yet. And it is up to us
to get in the game and stay in the
game until Prussia's militarist are
forced to take a back seat and
peace can be made on terms fair to
democracy and the right.

Tho fight game hasn't improved
in a scientific way since 1892. In
stead it seems to have gone back in
that respect. The old timers-the
boys of my day and for a dozen years
afterward-didn't have the benefit of
teaching like the present day crop Of
fighters. They didn't have corps Of
high class trainers nor the benefit Of
fully equipped gymnasiums. Yet they
were miles ahead of the fighters Of
the present time in skill, cleverness
and endurance powers.
"Caulifower ears are common
nowadays. There weren't many in
my time. And the reason Is the fight
ers of old didn't do any wild swing
ing. When they shot out punch B.
was at a target-and no good fighter
makes the ear target. But now the
fighters rush at the other, swing a
wild one for the Jaw and then jump
into clinch. Rarely do they hit tho
jaw but these unaimed wallops often
bang against an ear-and caulif1ow-
err results"
In one of the chapters in this story
gave an affirmative answer to the
question 'was John L. Sullivan ever
the heavyweight champion of the
world 2" In looking through the clip
pings before me, I find that some
years ago the same question was put
to John land he answered 1t in
this way:
ct certainly was the heavyweight
champion Of the world. The title had
passed from one man to another un-
til 1t reached Paddy Ryan. He was
the American champion without
doubt and in tracing down the
worlds championships one finds that
it belonged to Joe Goss. Ryan
whipped Goss-and that made Ryan
the worlds champion. didn't 1t? And
licked Ryan, didn't I?
"If that doesn't satisfy people that
was the champion of the world, look
at my record. I whipped every man
7 fought in a championship bout be-
tween 1882 and 1891, with the excep-
ton of Charlie Mitchell and I fought
him to a draw. Peter Jackson was
touted by some as the champion OF
Australia. Some people felt that l
should have fought him to prove my
claim to the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world. But Jackson was
a negro and I drew the color line as
regards a public bout. But I offered
to fight him in private for side bet
or without one, but Jackson refused"
John L. was square and fair; he
never claimed anything to which he
really was not entitled. He was the
heavyweight champion Of the world.

somewhat behind his rival. With the
worries under fine control. Schaefer
clicked off the points rapidly and
with precision until he ran out his
string with a cluster of 1877, the high
est run which he has made in East

Cochran got in only one run Of any
sizeable proportions, when he put
together a count of Ii in the third in
