Noted divine, scholar and Zionist
leader.
Today is National Fund day
of the Zionists and all over the
United States thousands of vol
unteers will "tag" for contribu-
tions to this fund, which is the
Zionist agency for acquiring
tracts of land in Palestine
which remain the inalienable
property of the Jewish people.
Birmingham's Young Judeans have
volunteered their sci vices this year, and
today will call on Jewish homes in Bir-
nlingham district and solicit their mites
to the fund which is considered one of
the greatest factors in the upbuilding of
Palestine.
At $50 o'clock in the evening a mass
meeting will be held in Knesseth Israel
mingham district, Zionist Organization of
America. Rabbi Jacob l. Mendelsohn
will preside and the address of the even
ing will be delivered by the nationally
known divine scholar and Zionist leader,
Rabbi Max Heller of New Orleans.
DIR. Heller will speak on matters per-
tanning to the present status of Zionsm,
the contemplated programme on the act
ual development of Palestine and the
wonderful opportunity afforded the
American Jews to participate in the re-
building of the ancient home of the Jew
ish people into a modern commonwealth
to be a blessing to civilization in general
DR.. Heller spoke to Birmingham au-
dience some time back, and his address
was commended as one of the most in
teresting ever heard here. His method
of discussion gives the audience very
clear conception of the subject. A large
crowd is expected to avail itself of the
opportunity of listening to the noted
Zionist guest of the day.
A musical programme will be rendered
by the Kenk trio, and Miss Frances
Abelson will read I'm the Land of Begin

London, July 3rd.-Mr. Lloyd George
reporting on the peace negotiations in
the House of Commons announced that
ex-Emperor William would soon be placed
on trial. The tribunal he declared, would
sit in London. He said that the German
army at present was inadequate to dis
turb the peace even against the feeblest
of her neighbours. The terms of the
treaty with Germ ny were terrible in
some respects, but terrible would have
been the consequences had Germany
succeeded. He also declared that the
German officer who committed such ap~
palling crimes, would be placed on trial.
In conclusion he said, that the British
Delegation had taken the stand of reso-

Following is an account of the fight,
round by round.
Round one, Willard landed the first
blow a light left to the head. The
champion landed a right and left to
the head Dempsey hooked a left to
Wizards stomach. Dempsey missed a
left and a right to Wizards side. VIII
lard snapped a left to the jaw. Demp-
sey knocked Willard down with a right
to the jaw twice. The Champion took
a count of six each time, and when he
got up, Dempsey knocked him down
with lefts and right to the Jaw. The chal-
lenger tore into him and knocked him
down again flooring him with rights
and lefts to the chin.
Round 2. Dempsey rushed Willard in
his corner, pounding his jaw with rights
and lefts, the champions right eve was
closed from Dempsey's blows, Dempsey
was dancing around carefully, measur-
ing him with rights and lefts to the law.
Dempsey put three lefts to the eve Will
lard landed a feeble uppercut. Will
lard's eye was rapidly closing. Demp-
sey had to be called into the ring at the
end of the second round because he
thought he had won the fight. Willard
staggered to his corner at the end Of
this round.
Round 3. Dempsey hit Willard twice
with let's to the jaw. Willard en-
deavoured to retaliate jawhlow with
strong return but Dempsey sent back
the champion to the ropes and hammered
him With left and rights to the law and
body. Dempsey sent a left to the head

mouth and the challenger was covered
with blood which streamed from Will
lard's mouth. Dempsey hit the champi-
on with rights and lefts to the law.

three rounds were bloody from the start

doubtful. In the first round. Dempsey
sent home a body blow from which his
big antagonist never recovered. The
gong alone saved him from defeat in this
round, for with swollen cheeks and right
eye entirely closed, Dempsey knocked
him down against the ropes seven times.
Dempsey thought he had won when the
gong sounded, and had to be brought in
to the ring. Willard, who lowered
over his antagonist like a light house

was beaten, and he knew it he swung
wildly and feebly, while his relentless
antagonist punched home blows like a

HoLYoKE HAS LOST HONOR
Town Officially Declared Not to Have
Been the Birthplace Of Junius
Spencer Morgan.

Holyoke, Mass. which has long
claimed the honor of being the birth
place Of Junius Spencer Morgan. grand
father Of the present ]. P. Morgan, has
been shorn Of this fame by the town
Of West Springfield. This decision has
been rendered by the Connecticut Val
ley Historical society.
The explanation lies In the fact that
the present city Of Holyoke was for
merly part Of the town of West
Springfield and that, contrary to Holy
0ke's contention. and the assumption
Of the Morgan family. the site Of the
ancestral home of Junlus Spencer Nor
gan Is still included within the boun-
daries Of West Springfield, though by
narrow margin.
The present ]. 2. Morgan received an
opportunity to perpetuate family his
tory In West Springfield through the In
strumentallty Of any public gift which
appealed to his fancy. Though Mr..
Morgan was unresponslve, the contest
between Holyoke and West Springfield
for birthplace honors progressed mer.
rily and was settled only recently.

Aviators' Ailments.

Rarefied air affects the aviator as
well as Ills engine, and those who plan
to make flying regular vocation or
to make frequent flights TO consider
able height are liable to find difficult
ties in adjusting themselves to the
new conditions. EtIenne and Lamy re-
ported to the French Academy of Med
icine that enlargement of the heart
develops In all aviators. In ascending
to an altitude where the atmospheric
pressure is half that normal to the
body or less, extra work Is suddenly
thrown upon the heart, and If this Is
repeated often or long continued some
adjustment is the natural course. The
hypertrophy seems to vary In degree
with the height frequented. Chasing
and bombing airplanes usually fly
above $4,000 feet. and the heart en-
largement induced Is greater than
among the groups of hiers who keep
In the zone from 5000 to 10000 feet

BEGIN TO RENEW FORESTS
England and Scotland Have Already
Started - Replace Trees Cut
Down During the War.

England and Scotland are preparing
to replant forests which have been cut
to provide war supplies. They are not
waiting until peace Is concluded, but
are doing 1t now. Never before have
these countries been so bare Of timber.
Hunting ranges and sporting grounds
have been sacrificed to supply NUM-
ticn factories at home and armies
abroad. The old forests were pri-
marily ornamental and incidentally
useful. but those which are now be-
ing provided for will be primarily use
ful and incidentally ornamental. says
Robert Fl. Moulton In Popular Mechan-
les Magazine.
In the United States we are not In
% much need Of tree planting as they
are In the British isles. But there are
two kinds Of timber which the war
demand has greatly depleted, and
they are kinds of much Importance
locust and black walnut.
There is another point to be consld-
cred In the planting Of these trees:
They can be grown on sandy tracts Of
land which are now considered Of no
value, and thus reclaim the land.
An excellent Illustration Of what can
be accomplished In the way Of reclaim
Ing useless land through the planting
Of trees has been carried out during
the last six or eight years by res
ident Of Whlteslde county. Illinois. In
these years he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible task Of turning
some 70 acres of sand, formerly as bar
rem as the desert Of Sahara, into a
flourishing forest. Nor is that all
for this forest, acting as sand bind
er. has been the means Of saving other
fertile acres from the inroads OF the
drifting sand. and the total result be-
Ing that the farm has increased sew
eral times In value. The sandy tracts.
which, before being planted to trees,
were practically worthless, are now
worth anywhere from $50 to 500 an

gipsies have been going about the

modern ethnologIsts believe they
brought with them from India and re-
mained always an odd combination of
picturesque vagabondage and personal

HIGH AMONG WoRlD DIS GREAT
Despite Hls Admitted Frailtlea the
Name Of Robert Burns % Z
Deathiess One.

One hundred and sixty years ago
there was born In Ayrshire In Scotland
q poor mans son who spent his own
lite In poverty or the next thing to 1t.
He was born and lived In an Out-0f-
the-way place at time when out-of-
the way places were hard to find. And
yet he is remembered still, though all
the rich men Of his time are forgotten.
The world made beaten pathway to
his door and still travels the path In
eyer-increasing numbers as the years
60 by.
Also. this man, as q man, was as
weak as water. II he were living to-
di,y in any half strait-laced commun-
ity. he would be branded as a social
cntcast. He was a profllgate.
Yet. with all thet, and more, no
memory Is more beloved than the
memory of him now. century after
he passed into the silence and charity
of the grave. No other name is better
l.rown or upon more lips today than
lis. Among the palm-crowned CON-
pany of the poets, he stands with the
five greatest.
The man was Rote't Burns, and all
that we have heard said concerning
him merely proves that song is the
most deathless Of all thirgs. The
songs that Burns made touched the
deepest depths Of the human heart.
They lenped the quiet boundaries Of
obscure Ayrshire and swept the whole
world with their wondrous music.
We have mentioned his faults only
to prove that human frailties have
nothing to do with divine genius. God
could have chosen a saint upon whom
to bestow the gifts that he bestowed
on Robert Burns, but he did not do
20. He chose a sinner.
