Paris, Fes. 23.-We have just been
discussing peace with Andre F>uelot,
and we have arrived at a very salts
factory conclusion.
Andre is altogether a man of peace,
although at times one might seem TO
detect ferocious expression in his
left eye, and a still more rerocious ex-
preston in the place where his right
eye used to be.
Andres plan is very simple, and
does no include haggling over terms.
Any kind of treaty will do, he
cause the important point lies in when
he document is signed.
He wants to continue the war un-
Ill only one German remains, con-
clude peace with him, then try him
With due decorum, and hang him for
he crimes of the Huns.
Less Radical.
To some this view may seem
more or less radical; but it your
sister had been in the captured
and evacuated district, and had
seen her father and husband and
son killed, and if she and her
daughters had been for 10 months
the slaves of German beasts,
you'd have another reason for
fighting this war than your mere
duty to humanity. YOU'D HATE!
We have all heard these tales of
atrocities, but reading them far away
from the scene does not seem to carry
my reality.
1t is only when you come actually
lace to face with despica1le ravage
which has been done that you begin
to realize what CHASTITY savages, what
Irutish 'Darbarians, what intolerable
beasts these Germans are!

can hit. There is no question
about that. There has perhaps
been no harder hitter since Aurel-
lilo Herrera. He is good boxer,
as shown by the ease with which
he defeated those master boxers,
Johnny Kilbane and Freddie
Welsh.
Leonard is still very young.
Perhaps when he has the expert
ence of Cans he will prove the
greatest lightweight of all time.
But it is a question whether he
will ever show the gameness
shown by Cans when the latter
took a terrific battering from the
rushing, tearing Nelson In AZ
rounds; or the gameness and en-
durance which caused Lavigne to
give away weight and go out of
his class to meet and defeat the
greatest welterweight of all times,
Joe Wolcott, or the cleverness of
Kid Critic, whose all-around work
astonished all of the boxers Of his
day.
But so far as late champions
are concerned, Leonard is un-
doubtedly supreme. 1t would be
unfair to him to place him in the
same class with a Richie or q
Welsh.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-01-23

Enthusiastic followers of Benny
Leonard's career as boxer are in
clined to be trifle too optimistic
concerning his ability.
He is being hailed as the great
est lightweight since Cans and
ranked with the great negro, with
Lavigne and with the other greats
of the past generation.
Any comparison Of the boxers
of today and those of yesterday
must of course be somewhat out
of focus. Unless two men are in
the ring together it is pretty hard
to tell a whole lot about their re-
spective abilities, providing they
are of anyways near the same cali
Der.
But even at that 1t is going a
trifle too far to compare Leonard
today with Lavigne, Cans or Frank
Erne at their best.
This trio combined all that is
great in fighting. They could hit,
box or stall. They knew every
trick of the game. They were
game. They were as good over
the AGROUND route as in short
bout. They gave away weight and
fought out of their class.
Leonard has shown only a few
OF these ring accomplishments. He
