ENGLISH NEWSPAPER GIVES DUE CREDIT
 ID AMERICAN GUNS
Says French Praise of Aid Received in Champagne Raid Is Not Exag-
 gerated

London, February 15.-In a leading article on the Americans in action in France, the Manchester Guardian says that more noteworthy than the ground gained valuable as is every inch on this Champagne front where American bat teries were engaged in supporting the French raid of Wednesday, is the fact that the Americans for the first time took part in the fighting.
 There have been American casualties in France before now" continues the Guardian, but they have been in Ger man attacks by air, or by artillery fire This is the first instance in which the Americans have taken part in a formal attack. The French are polite people but for that very reason they do not waste compliments and their praise of the part taken by the American heavy guns in this action may be taken exactly at it's face value.
 We have consistently warned the peo- pie net to expect the American assist ance to develop it's full value early, but America once developing her military power there will be no placing a limit on what it can accomplish. We must re- member that the Americans are the equa of the Germans in pride and energy, and their superiors in population, material re- sources and mother witt

French Hydroairplanes and German Submarine Fight;
 Enemy Craft Reported Sunk

Paris, February 15.-An encounter between two French hydro -airplanes and a German submarine in the English channel recently resulted probably in the sinking of the U-boat after it had been bombed by the planes, ac- cording to an official announcement by the French admiralty.
 The airplanes were on patrol duty over the channel when they discovered the submarine on the surface. They attacked it after maneuvering so that the sun was at their backs and the submarine plunged but it did not dis appear before the aviators had succeed ed in dropping several bombs on or near the periscope.
 While one airplane returned to the base for more bombs, the others kept watch and saw the submarine emerge after a few seconds with a list to port of 45 degrees. After attempting to right itself, the submarine again disappeared only to reappear a third time. Its instability. however, in creased and suddenly the observer saw the submarine list still further and sink so that even the periscope could not be seen.

(Note This is the thirteenth of a series of articles which MT. Corbett IS writing concerning the pugilistic life of Jack Dempsey, the best loved pugilst In the history of the ring. The final instal- ment will appear tomorrow)
 The defeat of Jack Dempsey by George LeBlanche really broke the heart of the great 'Nonpareil" The blow which sent him down and out was q foul one and never afterward was permitted to De used in the ring. In view of thls rulihs' fandom was almost a unit in declaring that Dempsey hadn't been beaten falrly, and, therefore, still was the champion. LeBlanche's claim to the title was almost universally ignored and the wonderful Irishman continued to be hailed every where as the king of the middlewelght division. There should have been solace for Dempsey in that-but there wasn't
 q was beaten-knocked unconscious Dempsey used to say when friends tried to comfort him. .It doesn't matter how it happened The fact remains that l was sent down and out for the count"
 Jack was proud and sensitive. He be- gan to brood and from the day LeBlanche beat him the warrior who had engaged in 62 previous fights without suffering defeat began to slip toward pugilistic ob- liyion.
 About six months after LeBlanche had whipped him, the "Nonpareir met Aus tralian Billy Mccarthy. The battle was put on in San Francisco on February Is, 1890. It was a fast and furious con- test from start to finish, with Dempsey the winner after 2S rounds of fighting. But the friends of the "Nonparel who saw him in that contest sensed dl1ef- ence between the Dempsey Of then and the Dempsey of the days before he had run afoul of LeBlanche's forearm Jack fought with less fearlessnes and less con- fidence. Some of the wonderful fighting spirit seemed to have gone.
 Some months later Bob Fitzsimmons, recently arrived from Australia, became conspicuous figure in the middleweight ranks. Fight promoters in New Orleans felt that, 8 meeting between the great Cornishman and the American ring idol would prove to be an immense draw ing card And so they quickly framed match between the pair for January 14, 1891.
 Dempsey accepted the fight with the Cprnisnman without ever having seen him in action. When news came to me that Jack was going to try conclusions with F,itzsimmons I went to his packers and asked them-for Jack's S sake-to call off the match. They laughed at me and asked me why was making such ''ri- diculous request
 For answer I told them that wonderful fighter though he was, Dempsey had absolutely no chance against the freckled warrior. pointed out that Fftzsimmons was the freak of the prize ring, with legs of a lightweight and chest and arms of heavyweight His tapering lower extemities gave him a certain speed and his huge torso made it possi- ble for him to generate a terrific punch. "Fitz is nearly a head taller than Jack, outweighs him and can hit with

WORKERS IN ME TAI TRADE WILL MEET
 TONIGHT FOR ACTION
No Reply From Employees to Demand for an Eight Hour Day and Ten
 Hour Pay

The demand of the metal trade work CTS for an eight-hour day with 10 hours
 pay, submitted to the employers of mold CTS. machinists, patternmakers, boiler makers. blacksmiths electricians and structural iron workers, has not as yet been favored with reply, and strike
 is very likely to follow the ignoring of
 the request or the refusal of the em-
 ployers to comply.
 It is understood that a meeting of the metal trades council will be called for
 tonight, at which tiRne definite action
 will be decided upon by the workmen.
 Friday was the last day Ipon which the employers were given to answer the de- mand.
 The walkout in this trade will affect
 over 2000 men, and it is regarded as more than probable that the United States government will be advised of the status of the metal workers before they take action that would result in a strike. A strike would indirectly concern 10000 to 15 900 men.

1 the force of pile driver" said Fur. thermore, F'itz has a tremendous reach and can stop Jack every time he tries his famous left jab. Don't let Jack go
 on with that match. Fitz is too big for him"
 I admired Jack Dempsey and I loved him. Every man who knew him felt the
 same feeling toward the ''Nonpareiln . And l tried repeatedly to have Jack and
 his packers cancel the bout But none
 of them had ever seen Fitz in action. They didn't know Fitz as I knew him , Perhaps they underestimated the ability | of "F'reckled Bob" At any rate, they | refused to harken to my suggestions.
 I went to New Orleans to see the fight and upon my arrival was asked to ref
 cree the affair. But I declined, giving for my reason the fact that I had bet on F'itzsimmons to win
 The story of the Fitzsmmons-De Dempsey fight repeats the most pathetic chapter in
 the career of Jack Dempsey. From the first round to the last the "Nonpareil'' was outclassed. He fought a game, wonderful fight against the tremendous odds imposed upon him by the freak
 build of his rival. Jack, beaming around IA pounds, was face to face with man
 four inches taller and about dozen
 pounds heavier. He went against a fighter who, from the waist up, had the frame of a heavyweight and the end was obvious from the outset
 Jack was rothing more than a punch ing bag for Bob from the beginning. The superior reach of the Cornishman made it impossible for Dempsey to do any real in fighting, and in long range work Bob again had the advantage. Bob hit Jack when and where he willed. Round after
 round he reduced the hero of more than 60 battles to a gory pulp and the end came in the thirteenth
 Jack answered the bell weary and all most helpless. F'itz stepped in, and with
 fusillade of lefts and rights dropped
 Jack to the floor. And then the fatal
 ten was sounded over the prostrate form of the most loved warrior in the history of the prize ring.
