Paci6sm Is Dying;
Socialists Bring News;
Wilson Spurs Labor

An Atlnntlc FORT, sept. 23.-Optf-
mistic reports on the rapid wane of
pacihst or defeatist sentiment among
the Allied nations were brought back
by members of the American Socialist
mission, who arrived here yesterday
on a British liner, after a visit to
Great Britain, France and Italy.
Members of the mission are A. NJ.
Simons, Milwaukee,; Charles Edward
Russell, New York; Louis KopeI, Cir
ard, Kan, and Alexander Howard,
Pittsburgh. In a joint statement they
declared that growing faith in the
sincerity of Americas democratic
war aims, as enuincated by Presi=
dent Wilson, is chiefly responsible
for the stiffening of the Allied NOR
ale.
1--WE came here almost direct from
the meeting of the British Trade
Union Congress at Derby" the state
ment said. THE war resolution,
which had been placed upon the
agenda two months before, with every
prospect of adoption, demanded i'm
mediate peace negotiations. When
the Congress met, although the dele
gates were the same as those who
proposed the resolution, the temper
of the country had so manifestly
changed that the previous resolution
was withdrawn and for it was sub
stituted one calling for negotiations
only after Germany had been driven
from France and Belgium.
The first was frankly defeatist.
The successful one presupposes a
German military defeat"
The statement added that pacifism
and defeatism are so on the decline
in France that even Jean Longuet,
Socialist apostle of pacifism,. has in
dorsed President Wilson's stand.
"Pacifism is strongest and most
dangerous in Italy" the statement
said, but it is declining even there
Large sections of the Socialist and
Union movement are making a splen-
did fight against pacifsm.
The British liner was a woman
less ship" having sailed from a Brit
ish port where the embarkation of
women is prohibited.

CHAMPION MEETS CHAMPION TONIGHT WHEN LEONARD AND LEWIS NEWA
Two Great Boxing Champions,
Leonard and Lewis Meet Today

Leonard, on the other hand, IL he
hooks his man to the point of grog-
giness, becomes very much flustered
and wastes many a telling punch by
misdirecting it. He proved that even
on the night he won his Ntle. With
Welsh helpless on the ropes in a
standing position, Benny battered
away blindly at a mass of elbows and
bullet proof spots on the Welsh
anatomy. OF course, he won the title,
but not in clean cut, Joe Cans way
of doing things.
When Cans got a man wandering
around in wooZyland he boiled his
finishing blows down to one punch.
Leonard hits hard and often when
he gets his man going, but not in the
short, jolting way that Cans did.
Lewis hits shorter, though not as
hard, perhaps. He has a great deal
more of ring experience than Leon
ard and uses every trick that he ever
picked up on his plod around the
world. Naturally he has a pull in the
weights and if for no other reason on
earth than "a good little man can't
whip a good big man." his admirers
will wager on him.
Leonards dashing, smashing at
tack will carry world OF followers
tonight. \ year ago we would have
thought that Benny's dash and
youthful speed would have made it
possible for him to stop Lewis. May
be the eXactness of army camp train
ing has robbed Ben of some of his
speed. He must be fast, as fast as
ever he was, to cope with Lewis to-
night. The long layoff will swing the
advantage in Ted's favor.
The chances so equalized, it's any
mans fight tonight.
That it will be honestly fought goes
without saying, because the men,
even though they were fools enough
to try any hippodroming, would ruin
themselves as public favorites for all
time. AS champions in their respec-
tive classes, titles won by the hardest
kind of lighting, they are entitled to
the fullest confidence.

Newport Minister Goes to
Work at Munition Plant

Newport, Pa, Sept. 23.-Anxious
to get into some work that is more
essential to the successful prosecu-
ton of the war than the ministry, al
least in material sense, the Rev

of the Newport Presbyterian Church
has started work as an inspector OF
electors at an Eddystone munitions
plant, and is expected soon to re-
sign his pastorate here.

calling him to take the work at Ed
dystone. His one son, Robert Ram

MAYOR FAVORS
PLAN TO HELP
CRIPPLED MEN
Willing to Establish Place
ment Bureau to Find Work
For Injured Soldiers

Mayor Keister last night declared
that he is ready to establish a place
ment bureau for wounded soldiers, or
make eurvey of industrial plants
to see how many wounded soldiers
can be employed in the city upon
their return from war, as soon as
the government notifies him to do So
The Mayor, Commissioner E. u
Gross and City Clerk r. Ross Seaman
have just returned from a confer
ence of the Rehabilitation of the
Wounded" held under the auspices
of the American Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science at Philadel-
phia. Friday and Saturday. He re-
lated the plans for caring for the
wounded which were outlined at the
conference.
Survey Advocated
The survey of the city's industrial
plants, and the placement bureau
were advocated by Miss Gertrude
Stein, from the Red Cross institution
for crippled and disabled men, al
Washington. A talk was given by
Michael J. Bowling, president of the
Olivia State Bank, of Minnesota. Mr.
Bowling has lost both legs, an arm,
and four fingers of his hand, and
spoke on how cripples can be equip
ped with artificial legs and arms.
Lew r. Palmer, acting commits
sioner of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Labor and Industry, in an
address described the process of re-
habilitation. He said the process
must be solved for industrial Grip
Piles at home with as much thorough
ness as for the injured soldiers. The
industrial lists of crippled are greater
than the lists of those injured al
war, he said.
Frederic c. Howe, commissioner
of immigration for New York, de-
clared that when the soldier returns
from war he should be allowed to
continue his education. Other
speakers were T. B. Kidner. voca-
tional secretary, Invalided Soldiers

The prime sporting, event in Amer
lea of this date was the eight-round
bout, carrying with it victory of the
worlds welterweight championship,
between the present titleholder. Ted
Lewis and the lightweight champion,
Benny Leonard, scheduled to take
place at International League Base
ball park, Newadk. n. ]. Even though
Leonard loses, his title is not en-
dangered, for he is going out of his
class to make the weight of 141
pounds. on the other hand If Leon
ard puts his opponent out he will
have an unique record of dropping
champions in three classes, Freddy
Welsh and Johnny Kilbane being
the other victims.
The battle is expected to be Bit
terly fought, for during three years
the rivalry was keen, accentuated,
declares "Hype" Igoe, because of
differences that cropped up between
Jimmy Johnston and Billy Gibson,
respective managers of Lewis and
Leonard. The men berated each other
in bitter tones all over the country,
and their managers were two jumps
behind them. 1t reminded one of the
old-time feuds between Fitzsimmons
and Jim Corbett.
Jimmy Johnston accused Leonard
OIL weighing nothing snort OF Il TON,
and in reply Billy Gibson said that
Leonard would win the welterweight
title the moment Lewis broke away
from Jimmy Johnston. The break
came and the match will be fought
out tonight"
Experts are all at sea over the
prospective results.
Clever and hard hitting both of
them. Leonard aggressive and a
deadly man with his right; Lewis a
brilliant defensive fighter and no
mean swatter himself. He is the
hardest man in the world to hit with
a right hand with the possible excep-
ton of Jack Britton. That he has
gone through eighteen different fights
with Jack Britton without being top
pied is a record in itself. He is an
amazingly fast tinisher if he gets a
man going.
