NEVADA man saw
Big SCRAP in CUBA

So far as known the only Nevada
man to witness the Willard-Johnson
fight at Havana was Louie Polin OF
Goldfeld, and Polin has ideas of his
own regarding Johnson's recent
signed statement that he TAXED" the
fight, permitting the white man to
win. Polin insists that the contest
was "on the level" and that Johnson
lost because he could not win.
Polin went to Havana with Otto
Floto, arriving on the scene eleven
days before the contest, On the day
OF arrival he and Floto went to see
Willard train and on that occasion
Polin said Willard was confident of
victory, as all fighters are, and that
| willard told F1oto he expected to win
ia from fourteen to eighteen rounds.
After seeing the white man train,
Polin said Floto told Him that, al
though he had not seen Johnson, he
was confident Willard would be the
victor.
Polin said he knew positively that
| Johnson had bet more than $1,000 on
himself out of the $4,000 which was
to be his share of the receipts. He
said Johnson was a two-to-one favor
lite, with very few takers, and that at
the ringside Johnson money went beg
ging at two and three to one.
Regarding the fight, Polin says Will
lard outpointed Johnson at all times
and that the colored man never had
a chance. Johnson's blows, he said,
did not hurt Willard and the latter
laughed at Johnson after the seventh
round. He said that when Willard hit
| Johnson over the heart in the twenty
| sixth round the latter fell hard on his
side, shading his eyes, which Polin
| described as being CLASSY, with his
arm. He then rolled on his back, but
Polin did not notice the position of
his feet, shown in motion pictures of
the battle to have been fiat on the
floor, with his knees bent only to such
an extent that his feet would not have
laid fiat unless forced into that posi-
ton.
Polin says it was the general opin-
ion of American sporting writers be-
fore the fight hat Johnson was in
poor condition and he pointed to a
training bout between Johnson and
Sam McVey a few days before the
battle in which McVey Showed up
Johnson badly.
He said he did not see any signal
| given to Johnson during the fight and
| that the colored mar suffered a clean
knockout. Regarding the position of
Johnson's feet, Polin said it was not
necessary for him to see his feet, for
it was easily seen from his eyes that
he was out. 1t may be that Johnson's
feet were so long and heavy that he
could not keep his toes off the floor

army of these enthusiastic people has

Newspapers long ago recognized
the ridiculous extremes-to which this
so-called patriotic propaganda was
running, but it was such a popular

The League and Pacifists
TO the Editor Of the Ercntn1 Pubht

To the Editor OF the E1cnthg fHoho
Ledger:
sir--Kubli Khan had vision OF world
peace. His message TO the Japanese
emperor was, "all educated men and
philosophers desire to see the world
form one family, but how can this fra
ternal state OF things be carried out If
a free and peaceful intercourse Is not
established between US? l am resolved
to bring this good result about, even
II I should be obliged to do so by force
of arms"
The object Of Kubli Khan and the
PURPOSE Of the league of nations are
virtually the same. and the final COM
pelling force of the league is identical
with that proposed by Kubli Khan
centuries ago. As outlined by the
league OF nations, the peace of the
world will depend upon the Willingness
of the individual member Of the league
to abide by the verdict of the majority
and the readiness OF the league to Use
military force to maintain this prin-
cipal Of majority rule. AS the league
demands trom its membership an
equality of responsibility for the main
tenance of peace, a government signing
the covenant should exact from its own
citizenship an equality of responsibility
for the upholding OF its signature to
the document.

Captain John Charlton, L. s. A., of

Sir--Permit me to give you my Ideas
on the proposed League of nations in
your valuable paper
am cordially in favor of the league
of-nations" covenant, which our gallant
and noble President is the proposer. To
my knowledge, I believe Mr.. Wilson will
be able to accomplish the fulfillment Of
this covenant" despite all opposition.
The league o. f-nations" idea ia a very
delicate matter to handle. and no one
but our President, who possesses the
necessary qualities, could really be at
the head of 1t. The abuse and dlscredit
given our President by Lodge,
Borah, Pepper and the like would
make one imagine these men have not
sufficient understanding for men OF their
age and state in life. They know the
covenant" is for the good of humanity,
but why should they worry? What is
the matter with them? They should
boost the league" instead OF knocking
it. Their criticism of every move Presi-
dent Wilson makes would give one an
impression they have not the correct
idea or are influenced by the corpora
tions to down it. The latter Seems to
me TO be the main cause of opposition.
This league e-of-nations" covenant
will alleviate all unrest, discomfort and
anxiety and will make the world safe
for democracy for the future. The bind

"Too Many Complication
RI me- Editor NJ fbs Es,e1;,o p,ibI,o


To me Editor OF the Evenino Public
Ledger:
Sir-In sending you my vote Of dis
approval of the league of nations I wish
to state n few Of the principal reasons
for my dsapproval.
The covenant of the peace treaty
seems to involve more and more compli-
cations as 1t proceeds Every nationality
and now all the smaller ones are coming
more and more to the front, demanding
their rights and special privileges. There
can never be any satisfactory agreement
as It now looks. Peace with Germany
should be signed at once before II 10
forever too late, or the warning Reds
and turbulent countries will force our
boys to keep on the khaki uniforms and
many more go back again "over there
to fight 1t all over again.
Simplicity in settlements Of all kinds
Is always best, while augmentation
leads to complications. We should sign
up on the peace treaty and call It all
off, as in baseball and political fights,
and let things readjust themselves as
much as may be by natural process of
evolution, before it is forever too late.
Our President may be a great man, a
natural scientist and historian, but at
present he Is President of the United
States, n servant of the people, and
Chief Executive of the same and should
not go too far beyond his bounds.

SLOW. Does He Get That Way?"

To the Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger.
Sir-Kindly register my vote against
the league of nations, especially with
It's present constitution.
When read M. Reilly's letter this
evening I felt like saying, Just as kids
do. How does he get that way?" Yes
we trusted our policies In the hands OF
President Wilson, now look where they
are today. NJ. Reilly speaks about the
Senators playing politics, but as far as
I can see the Senators Of both parties
are against the present plans of a league
of nations, but speaking of playing
politics l would like to ask NJ. Reilly II
there is a case on record where any one
man played politics to a greater extent
than our own President Wilson.
My idea would be for President VIII.
son to hasten peace negotiations, then
come home where he belongs, and lie,
those foreign countries right their owl,
secret treaties. then after everything is
settled, if he still has the desire, let
him go across and draw up plans for a
league of nations. How is a league OF
nations going to become a success till
ali those secret treaties are settled up?
To my mind, "inefflclency'' has been
the by-word Of the present administra-
tion, and to break up this inefficiency
the Senators were forced to be a little
stronger headed than President Wilson,

Concerning the League of Nations

Of serious complications resulting. Mill

tantamount TO governmental creation Of

to compel men of other faiths to as

The strictest Justice should prevail In
