Georges Carpentier-eight years In
the ring and four years at war with
the common enemy of civilization, the
Hun. And yet Georges is only 20
years old-25 last January.
He's O. remarkable fellow, this
Frenchman, who began fighting at 10
as q bantamweight and graduated
from one class to the next until he was
acclaimed the heavyweight champion
of Europe.
He whipped some of the best men in
the world in all classes and then the
war came and he was n of the first
in the uniform of his beloved oun
try. He has done valiant service and
has been decorated. He's been wound
ed, too, but is now sound physically
and yearns for a return to h ring.
Georges has frequently fought since
Joining the colorS nearly hv years
ago, but not as q title holder or for
gain.
Over four years OF military service
has not hurt him. He's a better mar
for it, he declares optimistically. But
IL years as a fighter and a soldier has
a tendency to tie up the muscles of a
man like Georges. So he has started
anew. He has gone in for all-round
athletics and has been successful in
other sports as he was in boxing.
Carpenter thinks that with this
sort of training he'll soon be in con-
aition to re-enter the ring and kick
up soTae furore himself. He is lit
tie more than a middleweignt, but he
! is a powerful man and n who was
/, feared by most h-eavyweights of Am
erica.
It is very probable that when he
gets back in the game with both feet
that he'll be sought after for a bout
with the winner OF the Dempsey-Wil-
lard fight July 4.
Carpenter has met several Ameri-
can fighters in the middleweight. light

League of All Nations.

"At a convenient and proper time in
the relatively near future we shall CO.
operate with the representatives OF all
tho other Powers In the formation among
all. not n portion, of the nations of the
world an International league. Among
the first articles OF the constitution which
shall create this league should be one
which shall provide that war Is thereby
declared to be an international crime
and that any nation engaging in war,
except in self-defence when actually at
tackled. shall be punished by the world
as an.t7terrsssnsrl criminal.
ffifs constitution should also provide
that all disputes relating to international
matters as defined by an international
code should be decided by an interna-
tional court.
THE code would define what war Is
and would discriminate between agrees
sive and defensive war. between assault
and protection. and would outlaw one
and not the other. for no system OF law
ever enacted or wisely projected has
penalized self-defence by man or by
state. Existence ceases when the right
and power of self-defence is gone.
This code would also provide that one
nation could not summon another before
the international court except in respect
to matter OF international and common
concern 10 the contending nations, and
that the jurisdiction OF the court would
not extend to matters OF governmental
policy. which would be excluded from
arbitration unless one OF the disputing
parties had by treaty or othe rwise given
another country claim that might In
yolve these subjects. Under such a code
we would not be called upon to arbitrate
the policy involved In our Monroe Doc
trine: our conservation policy our i'm
migration policy; our right to expel
alienfl our right to repel invasion :
our Sht TO maintain military and
nava establishments, OF coaling sta
