point Of fact very few Of the frater-

large per cent Of boxers have been
doped with that brand Of superstition

AproDos OF religious boxers. have
twice seen boxers pray N their cor

an opponent had given the boxers in

The kind Of religious attitude that
Is worth while among boxers does not
differ from any other phase of life
The boxer who prays some quietly and
lives a clean cheerful life with II
feels all the security that can come
TO man when in the ring or fight

A man who lives thus is really re-
ligious and does not need, in the
squared circle. to resort 70 the fren-

he can hit with the best OF them I

not box again Having secured an en-

the platform instead OF the ring. AZ

In chautauqua, Wedge announces that
he viii again enter the ministry for
the remainder Of his days, believing
he can be Of more service there than

a wise one as his university training
of latter years fits him for work other

New York, March SIN an address
here on the eve of his return to Paris,
President Wilson told the American
people that he was going to the peace
conference tc. battle with renewed
vigor for a creation of league of ma.
tions.
THE first thing l am going to tell
the people On the other side of the
water is that an overwhelming ma
jority of the American people is in
favor of the league of nations" said
the President.
Speaking after former President
Taft had expounded the main features
OF the proposed covenant of nations,
Mr.. Wilson told the vast audience,
which filled the Metropolitan opera
house, his opinions of opponents of
the league plan in America.
No Party Can Claim League.
mo party has the right to appro-
PIRATE this issue and no party will, in
the long run. dare oppose it," he as
serted.
Asserting that the league of nations
is meant as notice to all outlaw ma
tons that the great peoples of the
world will no longer tolerate interna-
tional crimes, the President said that
Europe was "bit sick at heart at
this very moment because it seems
that statesmen have no vision and that
the only vision has been the vision of
the people"
And / am amazed-not alarmed,
but amazed-that there should be in
some quarters such comprehensive
ignorance of the state of the world"
continued Mr.. Wilson. 'Those gentle
men do not know what the mind of
men is Just now. Everybody else does
Il do not know where they have
been closeted; do not know by what
influences they have been blinded; but
l do know that they have been sepa-

And want to utter this solemn
warning, not in the way of threat;
the forces of the world do not threat

the world do not give notice that they
are going to rise and run; they rise in
their majesty and overwhelming might,
and those who stand in the way are
overwhelmed. Now the heart of the
world is awake and the heart of the
world must be satisfied"
Americas soldiers, he said, went
overseas feeling they were sacredly
bound to the realization of those ideals
which their President had enunciated
when the United States went into the
war.
There is another thing" the Presi-
dent said, (which critics of the league
had not observed.
"They not only have not observed
the temper of the world, but they have
not even observed the temper of those
splendid boys in khaki that they sent

MAKERS WORK. T.

washington, March 5.-The sixty
fifth congress adjourned in the midst
of filibuster by small Republican
important bills.
Among the bills that failed was one
appropriating $750,000,000 for the
railroad administration, without
which, some administration leaders
say, the railroads must be returned to
their owners before the middle of
April. ....-
There was no turning back of clocks.
Democratic leaders realized the situa-
tion was hopeless and the gavels end
ing the long, great war session and
the Sixty-fifth congress, actually tap
ped at noon.
Just before adjournment President
Wilson, in his capitol office, authorized
final notice to the republicans that
their effort to force an immediate ex-
ira session had failed; that he was
mistaken in his determination not to
call congress until his work at the
peace conference was done.
Return OF Roads urged.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee, and Senator Overman of
North Carolina were among those who
went to the presidents Office and
urged that since the republicans had
defeated the essential appropriation
bill the railroads be returned to their
owners forthwith. ~
After Democratic Leader T.. S. Mar
tin had told him the railroad bill could
not pass, the president authorized Mr..
Martin to announce that under no cir
cumstances would he, change his plan
to postpone the calling of the new con.
gress until his return from France. -

Marks Democrats Passing.
Adjournment marks the passing OF
democratic control at the capitol. The
congress that expired at noon began
in April, 1917, p;D sed the German war
declaration, and it's almost continuous
sessions have been marked by unprec
edented legislation and controversy.
Big bills that failed included both
the army and navy appropriation
measures. The only two important
measures that ran the gauntlet of the
last 48 hours of filibustering were the
Victory Liberty Loan and the $1,000,
100000 wheat guaranty bill.
Suffrage Loses Out.
While Senator L. N. Sherman was
speaking, Senator A. A. Jones of New
Mexico sought unanimous consent to

yield the floor.
