A REMARKABLE RECORD.

A captain in the Royal Army Medi-
cal Corps gives out the following re-
markable record in the British army.
There have not been more than two
percent of deaths from gas and a
fraction of one per cent from she,>
shock. The percentage of deaths from
sickness since August 1914, has been
four per cent, against sixtyseven per
cent in the Boer war. AS a rule gas
patients do not spend more than three
or four days in the hospital unless.
they are badly burned with mustard
gas. If these estimates are even APP
proximately correct it is a wonderful
record and shows what a triumph
science is gaining in curing men over
the science that is trying to find ways
of killing and naming them.

 "I like the creepy music to herald the approch of the william" he said recently. T love the sob stuff strains to indicate the sad moments of the heroinef I would like to create the good old unsophisticated spirit which prevailed in the good old Drury Lane melodrama days. It is curious fact that Drury Lane theatre in London, the home of the de luxe melodrama and pantomines, is now devoted to motion pictures. This indicates the power of the screen which is now superseding stage productions all over the world"

CREDIT FACILITIES MUST BE MADE TO MEET THE DEMAND

London, Dec. 23-There will be an increased demand for credit facilities during the reconstruction period and the ability of trade and industry gen. erally to provide for it's financial needs will depend largely on the am. ount of reserves it has been possible to accumulate, says the report of the committee on the provision of finan. cial facilities for trade after the war issued today by the Ministry of re- construction. The committee is undet the chairmanship of Sir R. V. Vasear. Smith, chairman of Lloyd's Bank.
 There are three main divisions un- der this head, the report says. They are firms engaged upon work from a date soon after the beginning of the war, firms who became engaged on war work at a later period and new firms created as a result of the enormously increased demand for war material. The chief financial difficult ty, according to the report, will be in connection with the third group. Un- certainty is the greatest detriment to industry and finance alike, and the belief is expressed that the govern ment should announce it's future policy and also make known it's stand concerning the rationing of raw ma terials and the priority of essential industries. There are also the ques- tions of the determination of contracts for munitions and the disposal of state owned factories and surplus stores.
 To achieve the reconstruction of trade and industry on sound finan- cial and economic line. the report con- tinues, it will be necessary to re-es- tablish sound financial basis by means of an effective gold standard to check any undue expansion of credit and to take steps to reduce the infla-

American Lightweight Title Had Its
 Origin 90 Years Ago.

Half a century ago today Abe Hicken became the first recognized champion of American lightweights by defeating Pete Mcclure, the scene of the great event being Perryville, Md. He turned the trick in five rounds, and thereby gained immortality and a big share of the 5000 purse
 The. history of the American light weight division from Hicken to Leon- ard would make mighty interesting reading, but it would require several fat volumes to record what had taken place since that memorable day in 1868. Hicken retired soon after his victory, and Arthur Chambers and Billy Edwards claimed the title Cham bers won by a trick, and late defend ed his title against Johnny Clark. Charlie Norton, George Fulljames, Q Canadian, and others then held forth as claimants, until in 1884 Jack Demn- sey. the "Nonpareil." became the recognized leader of the division. Jack soon outgrew the lightweight class. and his friend Jack McAuliffe reigned in his stead as worlds champion from 1885 to 1894, when he retired unde- feated The great little George Lavigne, the Saginaw Kid, was light weight champion of America and the world until 1899, when Frank Erne of Buffalo, native of. Switzerland. an- nexed the honor. Joe Cans then came to the front, although for a time Jim my Britt disputed his right to the lightweight crawn, and it was not until 1908 that Battling Nelson, the Dane, took the crown from JOe's kinky dome. Eight years ago Ad Wolgast, the Michigan Wildcat. took the honors, and in 1912 Willie Ritchie succeeded to the lightweight throne, although soon deprived of the worlds title by Freddie Welsh. The latter succumbed
