 No greater injustice was ever done than that of terming Jess Willard "a quitter"
 Never in ring history has man shown gameness greater than Willard demon strated on July A. His display was su- perlative, and more. He was whipped in that fight, and whipped as no other heavyweight champion in all history. But even in defeat Willard emerges with the indisputable glory of having shown courage unequalled in ringdom, and there should be solace for him in that
 Willard's second tossed in towel at the end of the third round simply be- cause they knew it was humanly impos- sible for Jess Willard to stagger to his feet again within five minutes-much less one. They saw Willard beaten, battered and pounded into blindness, and in state of nausea. And they knew it might be fatal to try to send him back for more. They did the sensible thing, saved him from further useless hammer

work will commence. Six to eight
months will be required in the con-
struction of this dredge, before any
excavating can begin. The funds left
after the payment for the canal will
be sufficient for the construction of
the dredge and will leave enough
funds for the beginning of some eXca-
walton work.
Additional funds, however, will be
necessary for the completion of the
work as proposed by the U. S. En-
gineer Department, and this it is
hoped will be provided for at next
session of Congress.
Traffic through the canal will not be
hampered to any great extent while
the canal is going on, as the excava-
ton work will be so arranged that
traffic will not be interfered with.

DELAWARE CITY TO HAVE
NEW ENTRANCE TO CANAL
BIG SHIP ENTRANCE WILL BE
JUST BELOW THE FORT.
Present Entrance Will Be Kept At
Delaware City For Use of Smaller
Craft-Federal Plans.

Colonel ]. P. Jervey, in charge of
the local U. S. Engineers Office, under
the direction of which the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal work will be pros
ecuted, when spoken to in regard to
the project, stated that he had made
an inspection trip relative to the feas-
ibility of constructing a dredge on the
Summit Level of the canal and found
that the plan was practicable and will
likely be the one adopted after the
government secures the ownership of
the canal. The condemnation proceed
ings in this case come up in the Fed
eral Court in Dover, April 8.
The persent plans are for dredging
the canal to depth of II feet, with a
width of 80 feet at the bottom. The
future plans are for depth of 25 feet
with a width of 125 feet, and ulti
mately a sea level canal.
''The canal,' Colonel Jervey said,
els a very valuable asset, as it is now,
for inland commerce, but it was built
many years ago and present day COM
merce is hampered by the fact that
the locks are too narrow and the depth
too slight to permit the passage of
large barges through it." at has,
however, carried very great amount
of inland commerce and continues to
carry the inland commerce, which
doubtless will be largely increased in
volume and value, upon the enlarge
ment of the waterway. AS soon as
the canal is taken over by the gov
ernment, it will be made free of toll,
this to be done promptly, after the
governments ownership is establish
ed"
The new mouth for the Delaware
river entrance is proposed to be just
below Fort du POnt, in order to avoid
a bad curve about a mile from the
present locks at Delaware City. The
present mouth at Delaware City will
be retained, however, so as to give
Delaware City direct connection with
the canal, and this will enable small
craft from Philadelphia and Whining
ton to continue to use the present en-
trance and not necessitate going be
low the fort. On the other hand traf
fic coming up the Delaware Bay, from
New York and Boston, will have tn
program greatly facilitated by tn
proposed new mouth below the fort.
According to Colonel Jervey's in
depreciation of the law the canal wOr,
will be started on the Summit Leve
The lift between St. Georges an
Chesapeake City will be the first re
moved. This will be followed by tn
removal of the lift between Delawar
City and St. Georges. There is di1
ference of two feet in the level q
mean low water at Chesapeake Cit
and Delaware City, the Chesapeak
end being two feet higher than th
Delaware end.
After paying about $2,500,000 fC
the purchase of the canal, about $500
600 will be left to begin work on tt
improvement. The first thing to
done will be to construct a dredge c
the Summit Level, at which poll

Churchs ministers serve humanity!
Shall we not get under the Churchs
burdens, behind its tasks and into the
midst of its struggles for the healing
of the nations? Shall we bear the
mark of Cain because our indifference
has slain multitudes? Shall we live
for ourselves and think for ourselves
when heroes and martyrs have died
for us?
In this hour of the recovery, recon-
struction and regeneration of the
world, every Presbyterian should en-
list in the New Era Crusade, invest
generously, in its great program and
enter, expectantly and resolutely, INTO
it's Easter harvest season.
A God and Father ineXhaustible in
resources:a Divine Christ calling us
to follow in His steps, and a blessed
Spirit for guidance and power, make
the whole program attainable.
If we are true to our trust we shall
have a revived Church, a restored
faith in its mission, an ingathering tc
the Joy of men and angels.
A past, heroic: a present, with
mighty imperative; and a future
whose prophetic beams already an
nounce the coronation of the spirit Of
service and sacrifice, inspiring hope.
Let every Presbyterian sound fortl
the slogan cover the Top to Victor!
and the Joy of an Immortal Achieve
ment"
In the year of our Lord Ninetee1
Hundred and Nineteen.
