"I weigh about 25S pounds and
am confident that when 1 meet
Dempsey 1 won't be as heavy as l
was for my match with Frank Mo-
ran. / may scale as low as l was
for the Johnson contest, which was
149 pounds"
The champion will not have more
than three sparring mates in camp
at any time, he said. These will in
olude Jack Hempel, a coast heavy
weight, who came on from Los An
geles with him; Walter Monahan,
who trained him for his champion
ship match with Jack Johnson and
another heavy yet to be selected.
With Willard on the scene, Jack
Kearns, manager of Dempsey, plans
to rest up the challenger to avoid all
possible danger of having him go
stale. Dempsey probably will drop
all work with the gloves after to-
day and Kearns may take him out
of town on motor trip to get his
mind off the coming contest. Demp-

almost perfect condition.

Osteopaths Home From
Lancaster Convention

Harrisburg osteopathic physicians
have returned from the annual meet
ing of the Pennsylvania Osteopathic
Association. held last week in Lam
caster. The meeting was the largest
ever held and was attended by prom
inent physicians from this and other
States. A feature of the annual BAN
uuet was an address by Thomas Skey-
hill. an Australian. who regained his
sight as the result of osteopathic treat
ment after having been blinded during
the war and suffering for two years.
The osteopaths are bitterly disappoint-
ed that President Wilson did not grant
them the right to practice in the Army
hospitals, 1t being their contention that
they could have saved thousands of
soldiers whose condition made them
particularly responsive to osteopathic
treatment.

leading railio and shipping men
of America. These men came TO
France ut great personal sacrince
and in the development OF the or
ganization of the corps worked more
strenuously than they had ever done
before In their lives. / have never

these officers in the carrying out OF
assignments that fell to their lot IN
the army life. and there Is nothing
of which I am more proud than 10
have been associated with them III
the work in France.
AT the same time arrangements
were made for a car-erecting plant
at IaRochelle, to take care OF cars
coming in in a knocked-down con-
dition from the States. and for loco
motive erecting plant at ST. Nazaire
TO take care of knocked-down loco
motives arriving at that port
in addition, the plan was devel-
oped OF having locomotives sent 10
us from the United States in prac-
t!cally completed state on special
ships, thus involving but little work
in assembling when they reached US
and, what was much more important
relieving the port of St Nazaire 10
the partially erected locomotives at
Brest.
ITO give an idea of what the pro-
gram TO have 1000, 900 men in France
by the summer of 1919 meant, so far
as cars and locomotives are concern
ed, IL may be stated that we were
arranging to have in France by that
time 1000 locomotives and sS,oOO
cars.
ITO supply an army of that size,
we were planning for the reception
and discharge of 101, 900. tons of car
go per day at the ports.
The condition of the French rail-
roads when 1 reached France in Sep
tember, 1917. was surprisingly good.
considering the fact that they mad
been operating more than three years
under war conditions. that no new
rail had been laid within that time,
and that the force they had been
able to keep on maintenance OF way
was practically negligible.
Roads I'm Good Condition
For the manner in which the
French railroads met the require
ments of the Allied armies, nave
nothing but the highest commenda-
ton. At no time was there the semo-
lance Of a breakdown in the trans
portatiOn machinery OF lne Souh'A' !,
despite the great overload placed
upon it. and the results achieved are
a splendid tribute to the efforts OF
the French transportation authori-
ties.
1T is, OF course, to be understood
that to take care OF the shipments
of the A. E. F. into France it was
necessary to expand the capacity OF
the French railroads to meet the
needs. This meant the planning and
construction of immense, storage
yards, ,he providing of additional
engine houses. the laying of supple
mental tracks, the rearranglnS ara
extension of existing tracks, and. In
general, everything that goes into
the enlargement and expansion or
railroad TO meet greater needs.
Behind each of the main ports
we had stupendous storage layouts;
then we had what we called our in
termediate storage - about midway
between the ports and the army zone
and then came our storage devel-
opments in the advance section.
