JACK HOPES FOURTH
WILL BE HOT DAY

Toledo, Ohio. June 25.-Jimmy De-
Forrest, Jack Dempsey's trainer, il
praying for the hottest kind of a hot
day July Fourth. Jimmy doesn't
like these breezy days. The torrid
spell that struck Toledo the first
day of June just suited the chaI-
lenger and his retinue.
IF II is real hot day we'll have
all the better of the argument" said
DeForrest. Jack likes the no,
weather and he'll win in a walk. His
endurance will be much better than
Wizards"
The hotter the day the hotter it'll
be for Willard-they say out at

COLLECTION TO AID
CHURCH WAR FUND
Episcopal Congregations To.
morrow Will Contribute to
$25O,00O

In all the Episcopal churches Of the
country tomorrow collections and pledges
will be taken for the s25o.ooo war fund
to be raised by the war commission of
the Episcopal Church.
Bishop William Lawrence, OF Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the commission.
announced today that the money would
be used to complete tho work OF the
commission in connection with the de-
mobilization of tho army and navy.
''The army and navy need the chap
lains and religious workers now more
than ever" said the Rev. Dr. Carl X.
Grammer. rector of st. Stephens Church
and a member of the war commission,
today. "for the youths are now under
more temptations and there Is general
lowering of moral tone. II Is essential
that the church should function through
its own workers directly as we'll as indi-
rectly through the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
Red Cross The diocese OF Pennsylvania
will undoubtedly raise It's share. The
cause is fortunate in its leader. Bishop
Lawrence. for he Is known to plan wisely
and expend carefully"
The commission contemplates spend.
ing $4,000 of the fund for the army
chaplains and their work $4,000 for
the women's work, primarily through
the Girls Friendly Society, and $4,000
for the large personal contact activities
of the army and navy council of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew.

TRADE SATISFACTORY
THROUGHOUT WEST
Business Interested in Foreign
Commerce Situation and Cut.
ting Of Ocean Freight Rate

Chicago, Feb. S.--General business
continues along the same general lines
as during recent weeks. Trade Is sat-
isfsctory. everything considered. in
number OF lines. but the situation re-
mains full Of uncertainties. The Peace
Conference Is being closely watched. but
deliberations up to the present time have
made no distinctive impression on the
public mind. II is conceded, however,
that the delegates are proceeding as rap
idly as could be expected since the ac-
tual sessions began.
Business interests are greatly inter-
ested In the foreign commerce situation
and the cutting OF ocean freight rates
means more than a matter OF transpor-
tation cost and Is a part OF the great
readjustment going on all over the
world. It involves the competition
which is one o the certainties OF the
future between this country and others
in the International commerce.
Ships OF this country built on inflated
war prices will have a hard task to
make their way against the established
good will of Great Britain and unques-
tionably the income on our tonnage will
be a small percentage as soon as the
rivalry becomes acute. The sharp de-
cline in ocean freights Is favorable 20
the steel trade. Yet furnaces are going
out of blast to some extent and the steel
industry is operating on basis OF 30
to 60 per cent OF capacity. Prices OF
pig iron tend downward. though some OF
the largest producers hold to the level
of around s34 per ton.
The situation with regard to labor,
both skilled and unskilled, Is restless
one and Is causing more or less appre-
hension. In some directions confidence
Is expressed that satisfactory conclu-
sions will bo reached, still 1t Is well
| known that there is a fire OF discomfort
! in some lines OF industry.
The mercantile trade Is not as large
n year ago and the situation Is compli'
Gated somewhat by immense stocks oi
merchandise and materials in govern
ment warehouses. Collections are sat
isfactory. Western railroad traffic Ia
still considerably lighter than a year
ago. The money situation Ia easier.
Omcials of railroads operating east
ward from Chicago and ST. Louis report
a somewhat lighter volume Of business
although It Is now moro diversified thar
for a long time past Business at the
Leading Industrial ccnters remains fair
" good. but Is governed by uncertain
ties which the reconstruction period Il
bringing out In the South, business
Is light and officials Of southern road
report shipping directions OH miscel
laneous tonnage and general merchan
disc have fallen off considerably.
