MORAN IS SURE
CHAMPION WILL
BEAT DEMPSEY

TOLEDO, O., June 2s.-Frank
Moran, who once fought Jess Will
lard and who has been watching
the champion closely during the
time that he has been in training
here, predicts that he will have no
trouble in getting the decision on
July fourth.
Walter Monohan, the champions
chief sparring partner, predicts
that Willard will knock Dempsey
out within five rounds. Mononan
put Willard in condition at Havana,
and says that he is showing the
best possible form now, with al the
punch that he ever possessed.
Jack Dillon takes the view, on
the other hand, that Dempsey's
speed will win for him. He says
that Dempsey is very fast and has
wicked punch which will surprise
the champion when they meet in
the ring.

WAR is ENDED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IS.
The signing of the peace treaty
by the Germans and the representa-
tives of the Allied nations marks
the formal termination of the war,
but the technical termination will
come only when each nation has
ratified the treaty.
Official Washington took the sign
ing calmly and quietly. The read
ing of the Presidents message, By
Senator Hitchcock, was received
without demonstration in the SER
ate, but with noisy reclamation in
the house. All the members of the
lower chamber joined in the cheer
ing, and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels ordered a salute of twenty
one guns.

CHINA REFUSES TO SIGN; SHUTS SIGNS UNDER PROTEST
CHAPLAIN TELLS
HOW AMERICANS
FOOLED ENEMY

BILLINGS, Mont.-How American
forces in Italy, at the cost of in
cessant marching and counter
marching, gave the Austrians op-
posing them the impression of a
hundred times their actual number,
was described by Rev F. o. Kelley,
chaplain of the 332d infantry, upon
his return home here recently.
American forces numbering less
than 5000 men, according to Chap
lain Kelley, were estimated by Aus
TRAN intelligence officers as 100000
men From a base, the men would
be marched to a spot within sight
of an Austrian observation balloon,
and as soon as darkness fell, would
be marched quietly back to the base
Next morning, they would move
conspicuously to another camp, only
to return to their base the next
night. One day the troops would
wear their service hats of felt, the
next their overseas caps, and the
next their steel helmets, in order
TO give the appearance of different
detachments ---
Eve marched on an average 20
miles a day for Is days with full
packs" said Chaplain Kelley 1T
certainly became monotonous, and
we were forced to the conclusion
after a while that our staff officers
were hopelessly mixed in their or
ders. The troops were not hauled
either way, for it was desired that
they spread out and look as numer-
Gus as possible in the daytime, and
at night the motor lorries were all
used for transporting supplies.
after the big drive started lasr
October we captured, among thou
sands of other prisoners, an Austri-
an general staff officer. Questioned
by our intelligence department, he
said the lowest estimate of the Aus
trian intelligence department was
that there were 100000 Americans
in Italy"

TAAANA TO LEAVE
UPPER TOWN At J

The steamer Tanana is scheduled
to leave Fairbanks for the lower
river at five o'clock this afternoon,
to make connections with the Alas
ka wherever that boat may be met
on the Yukon. Only a few pass
engers had made reservations up to
a late hour this afternoon, but, as
usual, their names are not obtaina-
BILE from the Fairbanks office.
The steamer should reach Nenana
about midnight and will take on
several passengers here, among
whom will be Sergt. Scanland and
bride, who are going to Fort Yukon,
and Frank Taylor, who is bound
for the Outside, and Rev. J. H.
Condit.
After connecting with the Alaska,
the Tanana will come back up river
with the passengers and freight of
that boat and the Alaska will turn
back up the Yukon.
The Tanana probably will have a
couple of empty barges in tow on
the voyage down.

WORK TO START
SOUTH Of TOWN
ON NEW BRIDGE

Railroad construction work south
of Nenana is to be resumed imme-
diately, according to a statement
made by Fred'k D. Browne to a rer-
resentative of the News this morn
ing. The first work undertaken
will be the reconstruction of the
Nenana river bridge, which was re-
Gently washed out by the recent
high water in that stream AMI
when traffic can be resumed TO the
end of steel, men and supplies will
be sent out to the Ignite country
to start work in Nenana canyon
and on the wagon road recently au-
thorized by the chairman of the
Commission, to connect the ends of
steel.
The amount of work undertaken,
Mr.. Browne says, will depend upon
the number of men available. Places
will be created for a considerable
force, and unless there is a material
increase in the number of arrivals
in the district, the demand for Labor
will continue 10 exceed the supply
for some time at least. Mr.. Browne
is of the opinion, however, that
the publicity given to the elaborate
construction plans of the commission
will have the effect of attracting
many workers to the districts in
which the work is being done and
he is hopeful that the conditions
will be such as TO enable him 70
keep a large force of men at work
steadily in this division until the
Interior and coast ends of the rail-
road have been connected up.
Foreman Sid Sheldon and the
members of mis- permanent pile
driving crew will leave for the
Crossing tonight or tomorrow TO
start work on the bridge, using the
track driver for setting the piles
in place This work, il is estimated.
will consume between two and three
weeks, after which it will be pos
sible to send men and material to
the end Of the line to start the
other work planned.
No attempt will be made TO erect
permanent bridge at the Nenana
crossing until through traffic has
been established, owing to the cost
of shipping heavy bridge material
by way Of the river. Temporary
structures will continue TO be used
at that point until steel can be
shipped from the coast end and the
crossing made secure against fresh
cts and seasonal breakups In a
pinch, Mr.. Browne stated, ferry
could be operated at 43-mile for the
movement Of supplies across the
river.
The great difficulty of maintain
ing a bridge at the Crossing is at
tributed to the formation of the
river bed, composed largely of
boulders which interfere seriously
with the driving of piles and de
fleet the current in such a manner
as to cause the piling to loosen
after it is driven. The water runs
swiftly at the Crossing, causing the
gravel to shift constantly, and fire.

waters of the river rise to flood

signed their names TO the treaty
amid profound silence. Their sig
natures were followed by those of
the Allied representatives, President
Wilson having the distinction Of
being the first on the list. He was
followed by Secretary of State Rob
ert Lansing, White, Colonel House,
and Major-General Bliss, and then
by David Lloyd George and the
members of the British delegation
and by Premier Clemenceau and
the members Of the French delega-
ton. When these and others of the
Allied delegation had signed, there
were total of seventy-two sigma
lures attached to the treaty.
Members of the Chinese delega-
ton refused to sign the document
and were not present at the sign
ing, their action being the result of
the refusal of the conference to
grant claims for reservations re-
garding Shan Tung.
French Overjoyed.
When the last signature was at
tached to the treaty, a salute Of
many guns announced the formal
conclusion of peace, and when Pres
ident Wilson, Lloyd George. and
Premier Clemenceau emerged from
the palace, they were given great
ovation by the thousands of people
who thronged the court and the
streets outside.

Man Held as Dynamiter Ends Life

of Public Works, who committed
suicide here late last night by leap

lie officials of the dynamiting last
Sunday of the home of Oscar Law
Ter, prominent attorney. McGwire
had been told that he was to be in
dicted for the offense.
McGwire's death came as a dra-

being responsible for the dynamiting,
which nearly cost the lives of Mr..

The Largest School Fund the State
Ever Had, Appropriated.

Jefferson City, Mo-, August o.
The apportionment of the largest
public school fund the state ever had
was made today by State Superin-
tendent OF Public Schools Baker and
certified to the State Auditor. 1t
calls for total Of $2,641,38o. The in
crease in the fund over last year is
$35o,ooo in round numbers. One Of
the sorry features of the report is
the low wages Missouri persists in
paying school teachers, of whom
there were 2o,629 employed in the
public schools during the past school
year. OF this number but 1858 drew
salaries in excess of $1,000 year, and
I7,27I drew less than $1,000 year.
The basis of apportioning the state
school money is now fixed on the av-
eragc daily attendance at the public
schools and the number of teachers
employed. The total number of days
the pupils attended the public
of the state during the last
school year was 83,oo8,oo3.
Bates county stands twentythird
on the list with an appropriation OF
$2o,744.81.

in the machine shops of Swift 8.
Company deserted the shops, refus-

The negroes were taken to the
yards under guard of 10000 armed
troops and hundreds of police and
special deputies. A heavy armed
guard had been scattered through the
yards by the police, who feared !
renewal of the rioting when the ne
groes returned to work. No dis
turbances were reported, however,
the white men quickly leaving their
work after announcing they would
not work with negroes.
John Kikulski, connected with the
Meatcutters' union. said the white
men are bitter toward the negroes,
accusing them of burning their
homes.

Some Booze.

Wichita, Kas., Aug. o-National
prohibition has given the bootlegger
an opportunity to play for big for

ing whisky and waiting for higher
prices expected to come when liquor
There is a story afloat in Wichita
that gang" or ring" of whisky
runners of bone dry" days has
cached in Southern Kansas and
Northern Oklahoma 10000 cases Of
whisky. A Wichita man who knows
the bootleggers, and who in "joint"
days is said to have had extensive
dealings with them, is authority for
the report that this whisky cost the
ring" $40 case, or 100000 in cash
and promise to pay secured by sig
natures and otherwise.
If this is the correct amount stored
then at the present Wichita prices
the pint-that whisky is worth about
$2,4oo,ooo. Provided they succeed in
running the whisky into Wichita and
other larger towns over the two
states, and selling all Of it, the own
ers would make profit Of 81, 6oo,-
600, or about $50 per cent.
