Awful Hunger Among German People Sure To
 Cause Uprisings Soon
(Continued from Page Threel

tContinued from Page Thrce) elaborate table d'hote meal amounted to s4 50
 The following day when I left for Co- penhagen my lunch for the trip, carried Tn my pocket, consisted of four pieces or awful black bread smeared with goose grease
 My journey to Copenhage gen via the rail- roads of Germany was not without It's dangers. The fact was that the rolling stock was in terribly dilapidated con dition. There had been no replacements to speak of since the war, repairs were neglected and there was no adequate fn- spection of the roads A car without at least two flat wheels was a very great exception. Constant wrecks were the re- suit of those conditions, and one con- stantly read of terrible accidents to troop trains and passenger trains because of faulty equipment or inefficient handling. Most of the street cars were run by women and their inexperience and ner- vousress increased the dangers of street travel
 To sum up the situation as I was able to observe it, living conditions in Ger many in January of this year were rap idly becoming absolutely unbearable How much worse they can become with out bringing on internal troubles which will bring about the collapse of the Ger man empire can, be only matter of conjecture.

Archbishop Ireland
 Dead at Age of 80

St. Paul. Minn., September 25.--Arch-
 bishop John Ireland, of the St. Paul
 diocese of the Roman Catholic church,
 died at 3:55 o'clock today after long ill.,
 ness of heart disease and stomach trou- ble. He was 80 years old.
 Archbishop Ireland recently celebrated
 his S0th birthday. Shortly afterwards he suffered a second relapse, within six
 months, and his condition became grave The archbishop was in frail health foi
 a year. Last winter he went to Florida When he returned early in the spring he suffered a breakdown and for several days was at the point of death. After his physicians had practically abandoned hope for his recovery he improved rapid ly, and almost immediately after he was able to leave his bed he celebrated sol emn high mass at the Cathedral
 | Until last fall Archbishop Ireland took a prominent part in patriotic activities, and his physicians at that time attributed his breakdown to overwork.

 Through the early rounds of that con- test Bowen. with furious aggressiveness, tried to beat down Burke. But he failed. The shiftiness of "The Irish Lad saved him time and again fro mthe fu- rious onslaughts of the mulatto. Burke fighting cleverly and gamely, stayed on the defensive throughout nearly twenty rounds. And then, feeling that Bowen was slowing down a little, went out In an effort to cut the mulatto to ribbons.
 Burke rained countless blows upon the head and body of Bowen-but without kI lockout result. Round after round he tried to finish the mulatto-but in vain. Bowen was living up to his reputation as punishment taker. For more than 30 rounds he stood up under blows that would have sent ordinary men Into dreamland. And whenever Burke, tired by his forcing would ease up, Bowen would take the offensive and furnish the action.
 And so II went TOT more lHdn " tOdHus.
 Through the CO.'S the two men, bleeding and battered almost to an unrecogniza- bie condition. slowed mp a little in their furious fighting. The crowd expected that each succeeding round would sec one or the other drop from sheer ex- haustion. But Burke and Bowen dem onstrated that night in New Orleans that they were the endurance marvels of the prize ring In the 70's both cut loose again and the rally continued right through the 90s.
 Bowen and Burke fought on grimiy. gamely-almost miraculously even after tho Tooth round. But the speed was gone from their legs, the power was gone from their arms. Their sight was blurred by countless gashes-by the gushing or blood from their battered heads; they breathed in choking gasps through noses that had been punched out of shape; throush lips swollen to four times their rormal size But the fighting instinct still was theirs-and they battled on and on.
 As the gong rang for the 10th round the two fighters staggered from their corners, ready, in spirit to fight stiIi more But their bodies could not respond. Every last iota of energy was gone from them: they were pitiful tottering men. And the referee mercifully led each man ba ok to his corner and announced to the crowd:

 was by the precarious practice of making side bets. Bowen was willing enough to bet on himself, but he lacked the money. So for long time he dldn t
 get a chance at the topnotchers because they wouldn't fight him unless he put up sizeable bet.
 Bowen succeeded in 1891 in getting backing to the extent of s25oo and for a
 bout with Austin Gibbons. which took place on December 29, 1891. The bout went S rounds 6 hours and il minutesl and Bowen lost. But he put up such a good showing that the men who had backed him decided that he ought to be able to win his next start no matter who was his opponent So when Joe Fielden came from England in 1892 and challenged Bowen, the packers of the
 mulatto staked him to 5000 for a side bet and then they wagered about 40,000 OF the mulatto to win. They "cleaned up handsomely, because Bowen whipped the highly touted Britisher in 2 rounds. Bowen's triumph gave him international publicity. His admirers called him the greatest lightweight in America" Those boasts reached the ears of the supporters l Of Jack Burke. "The Irish Lad" and without very much preliminary dicker ing Bowen and Burke were matched to l fight to finish in New Orleans, the then pugilistic mecca, on April $, 1895. Burke was one of the most scientific
 mer that ever stepped into a ring. His skill had made him sensation along the Pacific slope, He was as fast as a streak of lightning, master of ring strategy-a boxer whose like the ring game seldom has seen.
 Naturally his admirers were legion
 and they figured Burke invincible. When the match with Bowen was made, the Burke enthusiasts, feeling that the clean up opportunity was knocking at their doors, sent huge sums of money to New Orleans Ito be bet on Burke at any odds that are offered" The Burke money met an avalanche of Bowen money in the southern metropolis. and the result was that upwards of s250,000 was wagered on the outcome of the encounter.
 The fight between the two men-which
 many had figured would be of short
 duration-raged for no rounds with Mar

Golden Spire Grabs First in 2:11 Trot After Six Heats. Liberty Mack Wins
 the Futurity

Columbus, O., September 25.-Whai looked to be quite ordinary card of class race events for today's grand cir ruit programme developed into some of the prettiest contests of the week Even the 3-gear-old pacing futurity In which only Liberty Mack and Peter Fletcher started, was a pretty race, all though the former colt won the event In two straight heats.

 Tommy Todd was an early favorite. He won but one heat, the third, when Lucky Glover, who finished first, was set back to tenth position for run ming before she settled into the stretch.
 Ross Stout, driver of Lord Stout, was set down by the judges at the end of the third heat. Edman had the mount for one heat when Stout was per mitted to resume driving. Golden spire went one of the best races she ever trotted, and finished after hr hard effort in good condition.
 The 2:04 class race was highly enter taining. Whipping finishes in each heat were necessary so was the competition. Hal Boy was the victor, although Judge Ormonde won the middle heat.

GERMANY's SUPPLY OF
 FUEL OIL CUT DEE

Washington. Nov. 5.-One effect of the elimination of Austria from the war the fuel administration announc- ed tonight will be the cutting off of Germany's supply of fuel oil and gas oline.
 Germany has been obtaining oil and gasoline from Galatia ad Ru- mania and was planning to import extensively from the Caucasus, the announcement said, but under the terms of the Austrian armistice, all traffic between Germany and her for mer ally must stop.
 Within the German borders there are no supplies of fuel oil and infor- nation possessed by the fuel admin istration is that Germany has been using Benzol-a derivative of coal tar for lubricating oil. This latter source, it was said will not supply German needs. $
 The Italian fuel situation, which has been serious from the beginning of the war, it was said will not be improved materially by the Austrian armistice. The Austrian mines work ed to full capacity furnish only enough coal fors the nations needs Demobilization of the Austrian army will allow the return of miners to their work and thereby probobly pre- vent suffering because of lack of fuel within that nation this winter, but will not provide supplies sufficient to aid Italy.
