Chicago, Dec. 28.-Broad should
cred John Pesek, the Shelton, Neb..
farmer, regarded as the most formid-
able aspirant for the worlds heavy-
weight championship, has arrived
here to wind up ms training for his
finish match with Steve Savage at
the Coliseum New Years eve.
Pesek. who nevei has been pinned
to the mat since he took up the
game four years ago, looks to be OF
championship timber. He has waded
through the crop of near-champions
and has started in to clean up the
various championship claimants. His
first effort in this regard was a
e!ean-cut, two-fall victory over
Wladek Zbyszko. The giant Nebras-
kan's victory over the Pole was one
of the surprises of the season.
Savage, who started out this sea-
son with victories with William
Demetral, Charles Cutler and Yussif
IIussanc. is trimming over with cons
fidence in his ability to down Pesek.

JAPs FULL OF SUPERSTITION
Have More Foolish Beliefs, According
y to Traveller, Than Any Other Peo-
pie on the Earth. ~.

"When was a very young man I
was filled with superstitious IDEAS"
said "globe. trottet." "They were
thoroughly dispelled from my mind,
however, after "a visit to Japan. In
that country theresis a superstition
surrounding prac tically everything.
The Japanese housewife, for instance,
will never sweep out room immedi-
ately after anyone has left 1t, for fear
of driving away the luck. at Japa-
nese marriage it is not considered
wise for either the bride or BRIDE
groom to wear purple. 1t is held
that purple is a color likely to fade
and that the marriage will not be of
long duration. Perhaps the stran-
gest ideas are those which prevail with
regard to finger nails.
"The Japanese believe that the cut
ting Of finger inailssbefore starting on
a Journey will bring misfortune to
the traveller when he, reaches his ,des-
tination. The bowling of a dog al
ways causes considerable perturba-
ton, for it signifies death. 1t is
serious matter for a woman to step
over an eggshell. 1t is the belief of
the country that if she does so she
will so mad. There is great fear Of
ghosts in Japan and many of the ma
tives keep lights burning throughout
the, night in the belief that the, flame
will drive them away. One Of the su-
perstitions is put to practical use.
Japanese children are told that if they
tell a lie an imp will pull out their
tongues"

London, March 18th. -Discussing the
situation in Russia Mr.. Winston Church
i'll Secretary for War in the House of
Commons last night said that events
during the last two or three months in
Ukraine had been extremely disastrous
, to the French. He said that they had
entered from the South and had gone
some distance from the coast when they
were confronted by superior forces and
encountered hostility from the people.
The Secretary pointed out that this
latter feature was something which
must be carefully weighed as it show
ed the danger that might result from
rash ill-considered actions. Kherson and
Nikolaiev have been taken and Odessa
is being defended by French, Greek and
Russian forces against Bolshevik at
tacks he said. The position of the Boil
sheviki nea Odessa, he pointed out, has
exposed Rumania to a very direct threat
of invasion with the Hungarians adj
vancing on the side has made the stu
alton very difficult. Speaking of Gene
raj Denikin's army Mr.. Churchill said
that it was Great Britain's policy to
give it support but not to involve Brit
ish troops. He said that General Deni-
kin is fighting desperately for his
native land and for the worlds civil
cation. There is a British Mission
with Genl. Denikin and Medical sup
plies, munitions. instructors and tech
nical advisors are being furnished.
He said that Genl. Denikin has suffered
a severe reverse while advancing towards
Novo Tcherkask but by striking back
toward the Caspian he had successful
ly taken 1000 prisoners. The Brit
ish retain control of the Caspian but
there is a Bolshevik Fleet at Astrak-
han where the harbour is at present
ice-bound. Small attachments of Brit
ish troops stretching towards the
frontiers Of India are holding back
without serious fighting Bolshevik.
Emjssaries seeking to advance and
spread disturbances there. Admiral
Kolchaks' armies in Siberia have been
doing we'll in the northern sector although
not so successful further south, Mr..
Churchill said, adding the British have
, 1919-04-01

a handful of men there as a symbol and
guarantee of the authority of Admiral
Kolchaks. The Govt. has supplied Ad-
miral Kolchaks' armies with a very large
number of rifles. cannons and other mu-
nitions by the way of the Siberian Rail
way. J. is intended tOscontinue this sup
port by sending technical instructors and
experts to Siberia. The Secretary said
that Hungary had undergone a serious
political change and showed a disposition
to resist the will of the Allies under the
garb of Bolshevism But that there was
no official confirmation of the rumoured
invasion of Hungary by the BoIshe wiki"
Poland with Germany behind it, he said,
was in a very anarchic condition and
might degenerate under Bolshevik pres
sure and attacks. He pointed out that
the position of Rumanla was also one of
anxiety, that country having suffered
terribly in the war and being short of
food and all means Of supplying her
needs. He expressed the hope that eff
forts would be made to aid Rumania
which. he added, was tne Great Buttress
against the advancing tide of Bolshevism
and anarchy.
Paris, March 26th. (tssociated) Per-
sistent rumonrs that air Europe is on the
verge of 4 financial ~collaNse, are now
justified by the facts, q prominent finan-
cial expert, who has 3een engaged for
many months in studying the problems
facing the Peace Conference, said in a
statement today. Conditions were seri-
Gus, he added, but not panicky, and will
doubtless be relieved greatly when peace
is signed and the embargoes lifted. He
predicted that England will be stronger
within a year than before, because of
her unusual commercial enterprise and
the courage with which she meets her
debts by taxation. Great Britain with
the wal debt Of $40, 600, 900, the financial
expert added, is in a situation comparing
favorably with her debts and per capita
wealth at the conclusion of the Napoleon
ic wars. The Allies owe Great Britain
between nine and ten billion dollars.
The financial expert estimated that only
about one-fifth of the twenty billions of
dollars invested abroad by English men
before the war, had been disposed of.
Discussing France. The Financier said
that the situation was unsatisfactory, be-
cause the Govt. does not levy a heavy
enough taxation, and consequently, the
monied classes have more money than
ever before, while the Govt. is nearly
bankrupt. The courage of Italy in levy
ing heavier taxes than France, he contin-
ued, had helped her situation, but with
the exhaustion of her present foreign
credits within six months, the situation
may become serious. However, both

greatly benefit the situation. The fin
ancier declared that the situation of Bel
GUM was not as bad as the Belgians ina
CINE, because she has the industries and
population, which doubtless will restore
manufacturing rapidly. There were also
indications that Belgium would get prior
ity in repatriations from Germany.

alties and statesmen. including that of

stated ne was cognizant of statements
that Bolshevik funds are being distribut-
ed through agents in Sweden for the
purpose OF a world revolution. The Govt.
be said, would take immediate steps to

added that the Govt had learnt that We

any of these funds had been spent in the
