FIGHT RECEIPTS SHORT.
Gate receipts of the Dempsey
Willard match July 4 were un-
officially announced as being
approximately $452,000 The
attendance, Promoter Tex Rick
ard said, was between 10000
and $1,000.
The announcement that the
bout drew only about 10000
persons, less than one-fourth OF
the seating capacity of the are
ma, was a big surprise. Richard
said all the $50 seats were sold,
and virtually all of the $50 seats
were disposed of, but that the
disappointment came in the sale
Of the cheapest seats, which sold
for $40.
Only about 5000 $40 seats
were sold out of 5000 to 40, ZOO
available. The Toledo charity
fund will be enriched by virtual
ly $31, 500 as a result of the con-
test. The city received Z pei
cent of the gross receipts. The
government will receive nearly
SAL 900 in war tax.

SENI b1 JOEtN j. PERSd1NO
Pvt. Loran M. Morgan receiv-
ed the following Communication
signed by John J, Pershing,
dated France, February %, 1919
and is self explanatory. 1t reads
as follows:
My Fellow Soldiers:
Now that your service with
the American Expeditionary
Forces is about to terminate, I
can not let you go without a
personal word. At the call to
arms, the patriotic young man
hood of America eagerly re-
sponded and became the for
midable army whose decisive
victories testify to it's efficiency
and its valor. With the support
of the nation firmly united to
defend the cause of liberty, our
army has executed the will of
the people with resolute purpose.
Our democracy has been tested,
and the forces of autocracy have
been defeated. To the glory of
the citizen-soldier, our troops
have faithfully fulfilled their
trust, and in a succession of
brilliant offensives have over
come the menace to our civil
zation.
AS an individual, your part in
the world wan has been an i'm
portant one in the sum total of
our achievements. Whether
keeping lonely vigil in the
trenches, or CALAMITY storming
the enemy's stronghold; wheth-
er enduring monotonous drudg-
cry at the rear, or sustaining
the fighting line at the front,
each has bravely and efficiently
played his part. By willing sac
rifice of personal rights; by
cheerful endurance of hardship
and privation; by vigor, streng-
tn and indomitable will, made
effective by thorough organi-
cation and cordial cooperation,
you inspired the war-worn
Allies with new life and turned
the tide of threatened defeat in
to overwhelming victory.
With a consecrated devotion
to duty and a will to conquer,
you have loyalty served your
country. By your exemplary
conduct a standard has been
established and maintained
never before attained by any
army. With mind and body as
clean and strong as the decisive
blows you delivered against the
| foe, you are soon to return to
the pursuits Of peace. In leav-
ing the scenes of your victories,
may ask that you carry home
your high ideals and continue
to live as you have served-an
honor to the principles for
which you have fought and to
the fallen comrades you leave
behind.
1t is with pride in our success
that l extend to you my sincere
thanks for your splendid service
70 the army and to the nation.
Faithfully,
John ]. Pershing.
Commander in Chief.

WASHINGTON. August 4.-Japan's
intentions in the Chinese province OF
ShantunE. where she is given control
by the Versailles treaty, soon are to
be set forth in ii formal dec!2ration
from the Tokyo government. according
TO information received today in OIL
Although the exact. nature OF tho
declaration was not forecast. ii was
assumed that ii would follow the lines
OF the repeated statements OF Japa-
nose statesmen That the province
eventually is TO be returned 10 China.
In some quarters 1t was believed Ja-
pan might even set date for the re-
storation and acknowledge publicly

have with China on that subject.

Much Speculation Hcnrd.
Although it has been known for sew
oral days that development was i'm

ton in Senatorial and diplomatic cir
cies whether the Japanese government
itself would speak on the subject or
would remain silent and permit the
disclosure of Japans promises regard
ing ShantunE to come from MIR. Will
son. Tonight conjecture had shifted
20 the questions whether the Japanese
declaration would be considered by the
President as fully disclosing the Sit
uation and what effect 1t would have
on the prospect OF ratiticat ton OF the
treaty.
News OF the expected DEVELOPMENT
regarding Shautung reached the Cap
