The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-04-30
BY PAUL PURNIAN

There Is a wide difference of
opinion among managers and
trainers of boxers as to how they
should train for a bout.
Back In the old days when John
L. Sullivan, Paddy Ryan and men
Of the beef trust variety depend
ed almost entirely upon brute
strength to win the training was
confined for the most part to ex-
ercises with heavyweights and a
little road work to keep up wind.
In recent statement Corbett
contended that the average pres

to be patriotic he would have paid
a little heed to the offer to lei
his pugs fight at Camp Grant, Ill.
for the benefit of the Sammies
there.
But one of the conditions
of holding the fight at Camp
Grant was that the promo
tiers would get nothing AMI
the cOlOnel's patriotism did
not respond.

ent day boxer does not train hard
enough for an important fight.
The old-timer, he commended,
started training several months
before an important bout.
There was one thing Corbett
overlooked. The boxer of today
and the fighter of two decades age
are two very different types Of
men.
The old-timer as a general rule
began celebrating winning or los
ing a fight as soon as he could
get into street clothes and did not

Ambassador Morgenthau's Story of Great War Plots
By HENRY MORGENTHAU.

a primeval waste. The whole scene
was merely a reflection OF the great
triumph which German diplomacy had
accomplished in the Near East. For
nearly six months not a Russian mer-
chant ship had passed through the
straits. All the commerce of Rumania
and Bulgaria, which mad normally
found its way to Europe across this
inland sea, had long since disappeared,
The ultimat significance of all this
desolstion was that Russia was block
AIDED and completely Isolated from her
allies. How much that one fact has
meant In the history OF the world for
the last three years! And now England
and France were seeking to overcome
this disadvantage; to link up their own
military resources with those of their
great eastern ally, and to restore to
the ~Dardanelles and the Marmora the
thousands Of ships that mean Rusia's
existence as a military and economic,
and even, as subsequent events have
shown, as a political power. We were
approaching the scene or n of the
great crises of the war.
Would England and her allies sue
coed in this enterprise Would their
ships at the Dardanelles smash the
Notifications, break through, and again
make Russia a permanent force in the
war? That was the main subject which
Enver and l discussed, as for nearly
three hours we walked up and down
the deck. EnVer again referred to the
SILLY panic" that had seized nearly
all classes in the capital. Even though
Bulgaria and Greece both turn against
u.s. he said, I'VE shall defend C~onstan-
tinople to the end. We have plenty
of guns, plenty of ammunition, and we
have these on terra firma, whereas
the English and French batteries are
floating ones. And the natural ad-
vantages of the straits are so great
that the warships can make little prog
ress against them. l do not care what
other people may think. l have studied
this problem more thoroughly than any
of them, and l feel that l am right.
AS long as l am at the head of the
war department, we shall not give up.
Indeed, l do not know just what these
English and French battleships are
driving at. Suppose that they rush the
Dardanelles, get into the Marmora and
reach Constantinople; what good will
that do them? They can lombard and
destroy the city, I admit: but they
can not capture it, as they have only
a few troops to land. Unless they do
bring a large army, they will really
be caught in a trap. They can, per-
haps, stay here for two or three weeks
until their food and supplies are all
exhausted and her they will have to
go back-rush the straits again, and
again run the risk of humiliation. In
the meantime we would have repaired
the forts, brought in troops, and made
ourselves ready for them. 1t seems to
me to be a very foolish enterprise"
