2S, 1899, that Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Jim Thorne in the first round in Chicago.
 Thorne was an Englishman and he had boasted that he would lick the freckled Cornishman, and this boast reached Bob's ears, and Ruby Robert got mighty peevish. Therefore, when the time came for the encounter, F'itz decided to waste no time on Thorne, but to make short work of him, that is, try to put him to sleep at once. As he faced his opponent in the ring Bob growled, Young follew, I'm go- ing to stand you on your head" Prob ably Fitz was speaking in metaphor, and really didn't intend to make Thorne perform such an acrobatic stunt, but that is exactly what he did. The first round had hardly begun when Bob feinted with his right, and followed immediately with a powerful left to the jaw which whirled Thorne clear around and sent him toppling He fell on the top of his head, but his feet were so close to his head that his body was elevated. By some strange freak he didn't collapse, but remained in that strange position until he was counted out. He was then dragged
 from the ring, but for a long time he didn't know what had happened to him.

The steel trade is intensely active, war requirements showing no abate- ment. Domestic and export wants are accommodating and will keep mills busy when munitions fail. Textile industries are in much the same state of activity, and practically all con cerns are earning good profits. Of course labor Is we'll employed at high wages, which keeps certain lines of retail trade active, although others are known to be feeling the effects of high prices and economy.
 Government regulation and price fixing are matters of special tmpor-
 tance affecting the industrials, and the management of these concerns is subject to much uncertainty. Govern ment policies in these directions are
 likely to continue for some time after peace arrives; because the economic balance cannot be immediately re- stored as long as supplies of commod1- ties and labor are so much deranged.
 It may be several years before condi- tions are restored to normal; hence the present control of business by government will probably cease grad ually.. We are already in @ new era, and plans for the demobilization are being rapidly made. What the future will bring forth cannot be foreseen at this time, though undoubtedly a con- siderable measure of government reg ulation of trade will be retained.

GEN. LYTTELTON.

Although too old for active service at the front-he will pass his 73rd milestone today-Gen. the Hon. Sir Neville Gerald Lyttelton is still serv- ing his country as governor of the has many wounded men under his cars. Gen. Lyttelton has long been famous as one of the ablest and brav- est of Britain's military commanders. We was born Oct. 28, 1845, in Wor- cestershire, younger son of the fourth Baron Lyttelton, and began his military career 53 years ago, in 1865, when he entered the Rifle Brigade. He served with that organization in Canada, India and at home. While on this side of the Atlantic he took part in the suppression of the Fenian rebellion along the Canadian border in 1866, and received his first mili- tary medal for his valor in tha con- f1ict Since then he has served in many lands. He fought at Tel-el- Kebir in the Egyptian campaign of 1882, and won promotion to the rank of major-generaI for his bravery at the battle of Khartoum. He was one of the noted commander of the Boer war, and was in chief command of the South African forces from 1902 to 1904. In the latter year he was made chief of the general staff, and four years later he became commander in-chief of the forces in Ireland. He retained that post until 1912, when he succeeded Field Marshal Sir George White as governor of the Chelsea Royal hospital.

ANNIVERSARY OF BLANC,
 FRENCH COMMUNIST

Jean Joseph Louis Blanc, the fa- nous French communist and socialist was born in Madrid, Spain, 105 years ago today, and his anniversary will be celebrated by French socialists and adherents of his cause in all other countries, even in Germany. Blanc was the son Of a man who held high office in Spain under Joseph Bona parte. He was Of diminutive staturas almost dwarf, but in bearing, digni- fled, serious and impressive.
 Louis Blanc's father was wealthy, but lost his fortune in the revolution of 1880, and the son taught mathe- matics to earn his support. At the age of 21 he went to Paris and be- came the editor of Bon Sens, jour nal of wide influence. He left 1t in 1888 and established La Rovue du Progress, in which he preached de- mocracy and political reform. He att tained rank as the communist leader, and his position was strengthened in 1S40 when he published work en- titled "The Organization of Labor" In this work he maintained that com- petitive industry impoverishes and
  it should be organized on a principle of community, by which each should contribute according to his capabili- ties, and receive according to his needs.
 In the revolution of 1S48 Blanc played prominent part, but, aside from procuring the adoption of a de- cree abolishing capital punishment for political offenses, he failed in his efforts to put his policies into effect. After the insurrection, Blanc sought asylum in England, where he com pIeted his remarkable History of the French Revolution" giving the social istio view of the causes of the great uprising. Upon his return to France he was elected to the Chamber cr Deputies, where he delivered many speeches on democratic and socialistlc subjects. Like Sir Thomas More, Saint Simon, Robert Owen, Plato and others who have dreamed dreams of a future Utopia, Louis Blanc was man of brilliant intellect and wide sympa- thies, who erred only in placing too high a valuation on mankind's ca pacity for the realization of the splrlk of brotherhood.

ToDAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first Greek Testament printed from type appeared over four centur- ies ago, in 1516. Its publication was due to the labors of Desiderius Bras" mus, who was born in Rotterdam 451 years ago today, and who was one of the most influential pioneers of the Reformation. His celebrated edition of the Greek Testament, with notes, the first version of which appeared in print, is considered his masterpiece. Erasmus was an excellent Greek scholar, and one of the principal re- yiyers of the study of that ancient language in western Europe. The first printed edition of the Latin Bible was the work of John Gutenberg, inventor of cut metal types, and appeared about 1455. The first printed edition of the entire Bible was, strictly speak ing, the Complutonsian Polyglot of Cardinal Zimenes, printed at Alcala, in Spain, in 1517.

BY FABULOUS DUTY
 PRIEST DIES
Rev. Walter Stanley MIG Elroy Victim of Influenza Was to Have Been Ar my Chaplain.

Rev. Walter Shanley McElroy died Sunday morning after few hours illness with influenza. Father Me Elroy was the son of Mrs. John Mo Elroy of 1850 Noble avenue, and nephew of the late Rev. Charles Me Elroy of St. Augustines church of this city, and Rev. Walter J. Shanley, pastor of St. Peter's church, Danbury. Father McEIroy was stationed as curate at St. Francis R. c. church, New Haven, and contracted the malady while in performance of his pastoral duties in the parish. He had been active in the recent Liberty Loan drive, and it is thought that he had overworked at that time. His recent ministration to his parishioners also weakened him and he fell an easy victim to the epidemic.
 The patriotism of the dead priest was g. most pronounced part of his character. He had enlisted in the | army as chaplain and would have leit for France within two weeks, and his death is a loss to his country as well as to his many friends and reIa- | lives.
 Father McElroy was educated in the city schools, and later in St. Thomas' Seminary, Hartford, and the Catholic University, at Washington
 D. c. He is survived by his mother, | two sisters, Catherine, a teacher in
 the Bridgeport High school; Dorothy
 student in the High school, and one | brother, Charles, in the service in
 France.

900 Salvationists in the Allied Armies. It is impossible to say how many fathers in the Salvation Army have sons cn the battle front Col. William R. Peart, Chief Sec retary, has son, Lieut.. Herbert L. Peart, in the Eighteenth Infantry. Lieut.. Peart recently received the Carnegie medal and $500 for hero ism. He went overheard in a rough sea and saved several lives.
 Three Sons In Service
 Of the War Camp Community Service, which takes care of all the soldiers and sailors in this country and most of those returning from abroad, noteworthy example is that of William H Hopkins, direc- tor of the W. c. c. S., who has three sons in the service. Many .of the other fathers connected with
 he War Camp Community Service, among whom. are Dr. c. F. Stim- son, are proud to have sons in the Army or Navy.

 Each colt represents extreme speed in their breeding. Dick Welles, the sire of Billy Kelly, held the mile rec ord for a number of years. Sweep, the sire of Eternal. won a. number of races, the Futurity included, for his owner, the late James R. Keene.
 Dick WeIles and Sweep are Ameri- can stallions, bred and raised in Ken lucky, where their noted sons were foaled.

Here at home, their father is devoting every hour to pushing the United War Work Campaign in his post on it's Com mtttee of Eleven, and with the ac- tive campaign organization that the National Catholic War Council is putting behind the great drive "for the boys over there"
 The majority of the fathers in Y. M. c. A. work have sons in uni form. Among these are Cleveland H Dodge, treasurer of the National War Work Council; John R. Mott, general secretary of the same, and George w. Perkins, actively iden- tified with the Y. M. c. A. in sev- eral capacities.
