It is more than 25 years ago since my memorable contest in New | Orleans with John L. Sullivan. But not one incident of that contest has 1 faded from my recollections. It would be possible for me to give the story of the fight in my own way and from memory alone but l feel that perhaps the pugilistic fans of the present era rather would have the reports of unbiased writers real newspaper reports of that con test covering at least most of the rounds:
 So I quote in this chapter the newspaper accounts of the first five rounds-perhaps the most interest ing of the fight with the exception of the final.
 ROUND ONE
 The gong banged at 9:07 D. m, the two giants jumped to the center of the ring, shook hands, unclasped and at once Sullivan led with his left. He missed Sullivan swung another left but Corbett pushed it aside. The champion swung pow erful right for Corbett's jaw but the Californian gracefully stepped out of | the way. Sullivan rushed Corbett | to the ropes, made mighty swing for his opponents jaw, but Corbett | quickly slipped away. Corbett danc- ed around in a tantalizing manner, dn' crowd. Kisses came from the au- dience and throughout the house | there were yells to Corbett to Go on and fight Sullivan, rushed Cor bett, swung a right but it fell short | Sullivan tried a left for Corbetts
 body but it was short. The misses grew louder. Sullivan had savage | scowl on his face; Corbett was all | smiles. Sullivan swung more than | a score of lefts and rights at Cor bett through the early part of the first round but they failed to reach their mark Corbett continued to | smile at Sullivan in an aggravated way and danced around-alaways out | of Sullivan's reach. In the first round Sullivan did not hit Corbett
 a real blow and never once during that session of fighting did the Cali fornian attempt to hit Sullivan. The | crowd hissed and hooted Corbett as
 he went to his corner with the end | of the first round.
 ROUND TWO
 Sullivan came in a furious rage, rushed but Corbe.t danced away. Sullivan led and Corbett ducked. Sul-
 livan charged at Corbett once again and landed a light left with the
 open hand on Corbett's face. Sulli-
 van rushed Corbett to the ropes but Corbett tucked away in clever fash ion. Sullivan rushed and Corbett
 ran away Someone in the crowd ] started to whistle Home Sweet Home" Soon the strains came from
 all over the house. Then the whist. ling ceased and the crowd took to
 hissing Corbett louder than ever. Sul- livan rushed Jim side-stepped and
 then with lightning speed planted a left in the stomach of the champion It was Corbett's first lead in the fight and he had hit his target The
 two men kept fiddling in the center of the ring with Corbett dancing
 around. The crowd implored him to "Go in and fight" Corbett, how ever, in answer, deliberately turned
 sideways facing away from Sullivan
 held up a hand toward the crowd and said: Wait a while; you'll
 see some action." Sullivan rushed
 Corbett once more but Corbett again
 danced out of the way. Sullivan sue
 ceedcd in landing a right-hander or
 Corbetfs shoulder. Just as tho ] round was about to end Corbett me

LETTER FROM CECIL E. COLE
Somewhere in France,
October 81, 1918,

October 81, 1918.
Dear Mother:
am still waiting for some mail;
should be getting some now as
have been stationed here about long
enough for some of the mail to catch
up with me.
have been transferred from the
199th squadron to the Headquarters
Company" of the First Army. l have
got job that beats anything / had
in the squadron. l was transferred
on my birthday. The squadron is sta
toned about one-half mile from the
headquarters, so that l can get my
mail from there yet, but they are 60
ing to move, and my mail will be sent
here so l guess it will set the mail
back again.
We have begun to find a warm
place for winter as it gets pretty fros-
ty here along about Christmas. Yes
terday | moved my bunk into small
room in the end of the barracks, and
if | am fortunate enough to find a
stove | will be fixed up fine. We
have double deck hunks, one above
and one below, the sergeant | work
with has the upper bunk.
While back they were sending
groups of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
nickname for the infantry-up here
to school, There was one bunch from
Kansas and Missouri, and one fellow
was from Paola, but | can't finish this
as l have got some good news almost
as good as if peace had been declared.
| Just received two letters one from
Aunt Kate and one from you and Ora
and it makes me feel like dancing the
one from you was dated September
oath and the one from Aunt Kate was
dated September 30th, so | guess /
will be getting mail regularly now.
I am wishing Grandpa has big
crop of corn. am going to write to
them as soon as possible. am pretty
busy now.
Are you getting the twenty-five
dollars from the government? If not
you should be getting it. Let me
know in the next letter.
Yes, l used to get homesick, but
lately have been so busy | haven't
had chance, and besides the work
is doing me lots of good.
l would like to write to John, so
when you write again let me know
his address, and | will probably get
to see him as | am in the American
sector.
Well, got moved into a place that
is more convenient, so | will write
my letters with pen and ink and l
will be sure they are not light print"
because l write little enough, there
fore | can't afford to have any words
wasted.
wrote you a while back that we
were getting Christmas cards to send
home for Christmas packages. |
wrote that as the mail was so uncer-
tain there was small chance of get
ting a package to me, and | have lost
my card and it is too late to send
them now, so | can just wait until |
get home for my Christmas presents.
There were very few fellows from
here that sent their cards as the mail
will be so congested at Christmas that
they thought best no to send them.
And we can get things very cheap
over here. Why one little granite
wash basin only costs six francs or
$1.20, and Hershey bar" for two
francs, only forty cents, and as | am
only getting casuals pay of forty two
francs per month it worries me what
to do with the change.
With love,
CECIL.

Jealousy Causes HI Feeling
 Between German Crown Princes
Frederick and Rupprecht Keep High Command in Hot Water Trying to Dictate Strategy to Win Applause
 for Themselves-Both Fail

Paris, July 26.-Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-Ill feeling between the German crown prince and the Crown Prince Rupprecht had its effect on the German high command in beginning the present offensive be- tween Soissons and Rheims which al- ready has turned into defeat for the armies commanded by the hear of the Prussian throne.
 The German crown prince accord ing to reports strongly desired that hls armies should have the honor of striking the first blow in the offen- slves of 1918. The emperor is believ- ed to have lent favorable ear to the wishes of his son and early indications were that the German crown prince would have another chance to redeem his great failure at Verdun.
 Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavar- la, whose command is on the northern end of the battle line, however, laid his case directly before the high com- mand instead of before the emperor. As military preparation it was the view of General Ludendorff and his associates that the blow should be struck in the north and without talk ing into account the personal issue between the two crown princes the

high commanded decided to attack ill the north. The emperor is said to have assented rather reluctantly while the German crown prince main tained that the main drive should be made further south.
 Decision having been made the big offensive opened in the north in March and was given double check, first east of Amiens and second east of Hazebrouck. This failure gave the eGrman crown prince strong support for his plea that the drive should be made against the Trench lines and apparently the high command gave it's consent. On May 27 the German crown prince struck against the Che min des Danes and was not halted un- til the Marne was reached. His next effort to reach Paris by way of the Montdidier- Noyon front was stopped short His latest effore, begun on July 15, was stopped after three days and at this writing the Marne salient is slowly being wiped out.
 It has been reported that Rupprecht has been compelled to send divisions to the aid of the German crown prince, thus probably adding to the bitterness of the pill of defeat which the German crown prince is now hav- ing forced upon him by General Foch.

Berlin Claims Captiyes.

Berlin, Aug -Wuetremberg troops north of the Somme river have stormed British positions along the Corbie road and taken in the neigh borhood of 100 prisoners, says the German officio. communication is- sued today. The communication also says that reconnoitering activity in the Ancre and Avre regions south Of Montdidier has been lively.
 After partial thrusts without suc- cess the enemy yesterday advanced with strong forces to the attack against the Vesle section on both sides of Braisnes and north of Jon chery.
 We drove them back in a counter thrust cut of small sections of woods on the north bank of ther iver, in which they had temporarily located themselves.
 Several hundred prisoners remained in our hands. The rest of the enemy's attack had already collapsed under our artillery and machine gun fire before reaching the Vesle."
