FIGHT TERMS

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. Benny
Leonard is ready to defend his title.
He has laid down his terms and now
awaits replies from prospective chsl-
lengers.
There is only one real challenger.
That is Lew Tender, the clever
southpaw of this city.
Leonard's terms to Tender are 1876
pounds at o'clock in the afternoon,
the battle to be a fifteen-round affair
to a decision, must be staged in Con-
necticut, a neutral State, with Tend
Ter to receive a guarantee of $1,000.
This is the same weight at which
Welsh wen the title from Ritchie
and as Leonard defeated Welsh for
the crown he plans TO impose the
same terms on aspirants.
Leonard, accompanied by his man
ager. Billy Gibson, and his trainer,
city. Before they left Gibson an
champion would defend his worlds
title.
Leonard Is Ready.
Leonard is ready to defend his
title" said Gibson He is the cham
pion and retains the right to dictate
the terms. We are going to be fair;
we are willing to give everyone a
chance. When we ask Tender to
make 1876 pounds at 2 O'Clock, it looks
TO me to be square enough.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

It would be difficult to find a day in the year that did not mark the an niversary of the beheading of some great Englishman. The Britons of the early days certainly enjoyed cut ting off the heads of their fallen lead CTS, and this despite the fact, or per hapA because of the fact, that Eng land is the oldest of the law abiding nations. On June 30, 1885, Archibald Campbell, Duke of Argyll. was be- headed at Edinburgh for treason. In suffering this fate he followed in the footsteps of his father who had been beheaded at the same place as a trai- tor 24 years earlier.
 James Oglethorpe, first governor of Georgia, died in England on June 30, 17S5, at the ripe old age of 97. Hc took an active part in the settlement Of Georgia, and founded the town of Savannah.
 The Treaty of Peace between the United States and Algiers was signed on this date in the year 1915. By Its terms Algiers reMnquished payment of tribute to Algerians released Amer ican prisoners, and made restitution for American property captured by the cruisers.

 ON WORLD WAR

An audience of 1000 listened to a brilliant address by Rev. Father Will liam A. Keefe, of Plainfield, Conn.,. state lecturer of the Knights of Co., lumbus at Seaside Park yesterday on the A. E. F. as World Crusaders.
 Before the talk the Harvey Hubbell band gave a fine concert and com munity singing was led by Alvin c. Bruel. In the audience were a large number of service men in uniforms. Father Keefe said that Columbus with his noble and chivalrous ideals , planted the corner stone of patriotism in this country, when he placed the standard of the Prince of Peace on the shores of this country. He was followed by the Jesuit and Franciscan fathers who spread the Knowledge of Christianity to the red man in the depths of his primeval forest, on. the plans and in the mountains, from Florida and the Chesapeake bay to the Golden Gate. The pioneers who blazed. trails for future generations; the Pilgrim fathers with their stern ideals of Christianity and their exile from England for their principles; Patrick Henry with his Give me 1fb- erty or give me death"; the Boston tea party and the protest against tax ation without representation as being
 
 various other meetings of our early patriots, all inspired this country in it's fight against the German menace, bringing freedom to enslaved Bel gium, war-stricken France and Haig's followers with their backs against the wall.'' and brought its sons who fought under the name of World Cru saders.
 Father Keefe spol-c of our payment to France, for it's assistance during the days of the Revolution, the ce- menting together of England and the United States in a bond of brother hood in which other Allied nations take part; and of the heroic work of our boys at Chateau-Thierry, St. Mi hiel, Soissons, and the Argonne For est, when they showed that they were actuated in their fighting by their predecessors of the days of the Rev. olution, and the Civil war; where free dom was the prize at stake.
