FULTON AND WILLARD BIGGEST FIGHTERS
Both Top Other Champions by Several chesThey Have Longer Reaches and Pack Heavier Blows Than Other Fighters- Willard Has Little On Fulton in Physical Prowess

New York, March .29.-The fact that Jess Willard and Fred Fulton will meet in the ring during the present year, in a battle for the Worlds heavyweight championship, calls at tention anew to these extraordinary exponents of modern pugilism. Big men have been by no means uncommon in the ring during past decades but never in the history of fisticuffs have two boxers of the height and reach of
 Willard and Fulton faced in the squared circle.
 The present titlehoIder is the big gest man who ever won prominence through his ability to outpunch an opponent but, in this respect, he has very little advantage over his pros pective competitor. In the matter of height Willard is just about one inch taller than the former plasterer who halls from Rochester, Minn. Previous to the advent of these Goliaths Jim Jeffries, standing 6 feet, 11a inches was the tallest man who ever held the heavyweight championship. Jim Corbett and Jack Johnson both grew into the six-foot or better class while two of the greatest heavies the prize ring ever knew-F'itzsimmon and John L. Sullican-Were under six feet in height
 It is not alone in height that Fulton and Willard stand apart when com pared with the former champions in this class. They are also heavier and have longer reaches and in all prob ability in the heat of action pack a more crushing blow although this is purely a matter of opinion because there is no way of comparing their punching power with that of those who have gone before.
 Willard in his. battle with Johnson at Havana, in 1915. entered the ring weighing about 225 pounds. Fulton has given his normal fighting weight
 at about 225 lbs. When the pair meet for the championship it is likely that the titleholder will not train much be- low 2S0 pounds. while his challenger will carry more than the usual amount
 of flesh, in view of the long battle
 that is generally predicted before a
 winner is evolved from the flying fists
 of the combatants. With the possible
 exception of Johnson'e weight against | Willard the pair would be the heaviest who ever fought for the title. John
 son tipped the scales at trif1e over | 23p pounds at Havana, which was some twenty pounds more than he !
 weighed when he won from Jeffries in 1910. No other heavyweight in his
 prime, excepting Jeffries ever weighed
 over 200 pounds while at his best. Awe inspiring as is the size of Will ! lsS1 pr Fulton they appear to be
 very evenly matched in general phy- sical make up. The champion is ar inch taller ana weighs some twenty pounds more. In reach, an Important o11a aIJi
 equal Willard is larger through the
 body but Fulton has the greater ex- pansion Tn the various measure ments of arms and legs Willard is a
 trif1e larger but Fulton is the sinewy 1 type of athlete who possesses great
 power without the accompanying l b7'lging muscles. Youth is also on his
 side for he is at least eight years younger than the titleho1der.

 Countries From United States.


 Statistics compiled by the Food Ad- ministration show that the grand total of all food exported to the four allies -the United Kingdom France, Italy, and Russia-frorn July 1, 1914, to January 1, 1918, would furnish com- plete yearly rations for 57 100, ,933 adult persons, with surplus of pro- tein capable of supplying this por- tion of the diet for 22,194,570 additional men.
 Since the beginning of the war the United States has averaged to supply the allies with food enough each year to export 16,S14 552 persons and with an excess of both protein and fats sufficient for several millions more.
 The total exports of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal al- lies, Russia getting but very small per cent of the whole, were equivalent to about 384 ,000. 900 bushels. or an ave- aorage of about 110,00o,000 bushels a year. Of this total amount the Unit ed Kingdom got 145 348 900 bushels of wheat and S,512 900 barrels of wheat flour; France got 79 79S,000 bushels of wheat and 5,4S2,000 barrels of wheat flour; Italy 87;136 900 bushels of wheat and 1,895,000 barrels of wheat flour Russia received only 130,000 bushels of wheat and 5000 barrels of wheat flour. tr

England and Italy Reduce Shoe Prices
 by Standardization.

There has already been drop in the prices charged by retailers for footwear in England in view of the Governments action in placing on the market standardized shoes made at controlled tetes of profit, accordinf Ito a report to the United States De- partment of Commerce.

Prices range from $2.06 to s6.38 a pair. The shoes are made entirely of leather and the retailers price is stamped on the sole.
 Italian shoe factories are manu- featuring standardized shoes, using leather furnished by the Government, which controls the system of sales to the public.
 In England the manufacture of standardl cloth for mems suits has made rapid progress. "A patterns being | included in the first goods shown As now planned, provision is made for 750.OGo to 100000 suits ready for delivery from June to August The project may later include pro- duction of certain classes of cloth for women's wear, with a gradually widening range of production under Government standardization.

use of prisoners on the farm.'
 Sheriff c. A. Gates of Windham county told of the plan used in Wind ham county in the past years. In ls17,'' he said, "S9 per cent of the in mates of the county jail were used in outside work" They were supplied to farmers, in groups of ten with guard, at cost of $2.50 day each for nine hours. The farmer furnished the auto transportation and dinner. The outside labor produced $13,000 in revenue, be- sides growing on their farms $5,001 worth of products. The prisoners were transported as far as IS miles from the institution. They lost but three prisoners in two years. Sheriff Gates said that the plan had been in use for several years and had worked we'll
 Sheriff Simeon Pease of Fairfield county and Sheriff Dewey of Hartford county represent the larger jafls, where the problem Is somewhat more difficult. Sheriff Pease said: Fairfield county averages 200 prisoners, and of these about 40 to 50 could be used for farm laborers. I am ready to help supply labor in gangs of 10 with guards" Sheriff Dewey stated that they were under contract with the Metropolitan Chair company, which had released 25 men last year for work on the farms.
 Arrangements would have to be made with them if larger number were used this year. The farmers trans i, ported the prisoners, furnished dinner and paid $1.50 each per day for seven hour day in the field. No guards were used and only one man was lost. He i advocated selecting the men carefully
 and sending them out in smaller
 groups without guards, Hartford av- erages 3S6 prisoners and will use some
 of them on it's recently purchased farm

 of German Newspaper.
 Translations of editorial comment in the German press made public by the Committee on Public Information in clude the following from the Berliner Tageblatt:
 "The terms of the ultimatum to Rus sia will please even the most unre- lenting advocates of violence. It would be interesting to hear Hertling, who accepted Wilson's second principle that people are not to be bartered about from sovereign to sovereign, explain just what differefces exist be- tween the political methods of the past and those of today It may be conceded that today the German Reichstag is informed of coming changes, but not until the. matter has been settled without it. We all hope this policy will bring peace and pros perity but we can not conceal our anxiety at the birth of these new States"
