Dempsey's Logical
Opponents Are All
Big War Veterans
Bob Martin, Beckett, Carpen-
tier and Capt. Roper Served
in Overseas Armies.

While Jack Dempsey had no time TO
bother with the late war, it is a curl
GUS twist that finds three Of his most
logical opponents all exseryice men,
from the three different nations.
Bob Martin is the American army
candidate. victor in the big lnter-Al-
lied competition over classy field.
Martin is a husky 200 pound lad Of
twenty-five with speed and a hard whal-
lop. He may not be quiet ready to take
on Dempsey but there are any number
who believe that in a short while he will
be fit to go after the conqueror of Will
lard and carry fair show to win. II
he has this prospect ahead it would be
q shame to toss him into the champion
ship ring too soon. Bob is a member and
officer Of THE American Legion of
world veterans.
The British candidate is Beckett who
now stands supreme under the Union
Jack. British champions in later years
have been fizzles so that no one takes
them serious any longer But Beckett
is reported to be well advanced OF
Bombardier Wells and others who faded
out SO quickly against real competition.
He is Of the tall, raw -boned type with
good speed and a wicked kick. Like
Martin. Beckett, is an ex-soldier.
Then there is Carpenter, the French
man who gave much rare promise be-
fore the war, Carpenter has never re
gained anything approaching his pre-
war form. but he is still young man
who has chance to work himself back
into condition He will not meet Beckett
until November IL (Armistice day.
this is the date of the first National
Convention Of The American Legion last
ing from the eleventh to the thirteenth,
at Minneapolis. Minn. At this time the
final step in the organization Of the
Legion will be taken.

STORM VISITS BATES COUNTY
Rain, Wind and Hail Storm Passes
Over County Thursday Even
ing. Small Damage
Done.

One of the most severe storms OF
recent years passed over Bates coun-
ty Thursday evening of last week
ust before dark the rain began fall
ing in torrents and in a short time
the wind attained high velocity and
hail commenced to fall. The storm,
was accompanied by a great deal OF
lightning, but fortunately little dam
age was done in any part OF the
county.
The storm extended into Kansas
and the Marmaton, Usage and Marais
des Cygnes rivers soon were run
ming bank full. The Marmaton and
Usage in some places overflowed the
bottom lands doing considerable
damage. The drainage ditch across
the Marais des Cygnes river helped
to take care of a great deal of water
that would otherwise have flooded
the bottoms as it has many times in
years past.
Press reports indicate that the
storm was general over this state and
Kansas and it is reported that many
Kansas implement dealers are cam
ceiling big orders for binders and
harvesting machinery on account OF
the damage to the wheat crop. .,
In some parts of Missouri hail
stones as large as seven inches in
circumference were reported, but ex-
ccpt to gardens and small fruit, the
damage was light.

that Premier Lloyd George had

had planned to lay before them the
British case and have it widely re.
ported in America, where it is in.
sufficiently understood, Mr.. Bonal
Law said.
The premier has withdrawn the in
vitation, the government leader said
because. while he is willing to re-
ceive Americans, he is unwilling to
receive those who ''come to Ireland
and not only take part in the politics
of Ireland, but also in rebelious
movements"

HEAVY EXODUS OF ALIENS
FROM u. S. IS REPORTED
Unemployment and Family Interests
Are Given as Causes of
Hegira.

Washington, D. c., May Io.-A
widespread exodus of aliens from
this country was reported today by
the Department of Labor. Unem-
ployment and family interests were
said to be important factors.
Ethelbert Stewart, Director of the
Investigation Service, said many
aliens reported they had not heard
from their families since Europe was
thrown into war and that they were
going overseas to make a personal
investigation. Another cause is the
desire OF some aliens to participate in
the settlement of estates of relatives
killed in the war. There also is the
desire OF many foreign-born to re-
turn to lands now freed from German
or Austrian domination.
