Mickey belmont has become q
storm center. The clever, hard hit
! ting Newark youngster who usually
fights his battles in the ring found
| himself today a topic of discussion
for managers and even enveloped in
a question OF veracity.
On Thursday of last week at he

ment was made from the ring that
Mickey had been matched to meet
! Matty Herbert in the star bout of the
next Globe show. Subsequently
Mickey was signed to meet Young
Johnny Rossner at the Lotos Sporting
Club next Monday night.
Determined to get at the bottom
OF the tangie the Lotos management
got In touch with Bonnie Miller. Del
mont's manager. and Miller sent the
following word TO the NEWS: Del
mont Is booked to box at h Lotos
Club Monday night, and will appear
nowhere else"
That seemed to settle the matter so
far as his local appearance was con-
cerned. belmont was not signed TO
meet Herbert and the announcement.

he was, was not strictly according to

sion to require explanations.

Another twist to the matter was
added today with the receipt OF a let
ter from Edward Poulsen. OF Ss5

Herbert's manager. Says Edward:

LONDON, April 1.-The

day nights war office COM
muniques showed the allies
had pushed forward at four
widely separated points, while
holding the Germans in check
elsewhere.
The most important of these al
lied successes, was the recapture
of Moreuil, 10 miles north and
west of Mont Didier and only an
equal distance southeast of the
vital center of Amiens. Moreuil
was taken by the British and
French troops, operating jointly.
With it they captured the dense
wood to the north OF that city.
Canadian cavalry participated in
those sections.
Next in importance was for
ward thrust by the French on a
line from a point south OF Mont
Didier to a point east of assigny,
in which several villages" lost by
the French Saturday were retak-
en-. Demuin five miles northeast
of Moreu.l, was also won back by
the British.
On the northern flank, the Brit
ish counter attacked south Of the
Scarpe and advanced their line to
the east Of Feuchy, two and half
miles east of Arras, thus relieving
the enemy pressure against this
important city. Haig's men held
this gain despite desperate at
tempts to retake 1t.
The French war office reported
the defamation of German battal-
ion, which crossed the Disc near
Chauny.

described local successful battles
