MONEY FLOWS IN
ENGLISH VILLAGES

London, July 30.-More money
than ever before is now in circula-
tion in English villages, and its easy
expenditure is apparent even to the
casual passerby. Extra wages earned
by workmen, housemaids and farm
laborers have brought about an as
tonishing social change.
One evidence of this is seen in the
great increase in bicycles and motor
cycles, which has necessitated the
establishment of countless garafes
and repair shops throughout the coun-
try. Dancing and other clubs are
epringing up everywhere Whist clubs
are favorites, and the costliness of
the prizes for which the members
play would, a few years ago, have
constituted almost scandal. The
sense of we'll being and the demand
for more comfortable life is as
signed as the cause for this last de-
velopment 1t is taken by sociologists
as a permanent thing which is more
likely to increase than TO diminish.

Italian Boy Was Soft Mark
For Champion Benny Leonard

Ring dispatches from last nights
fray between Benny Leonard and
Paul Doyle, at the Olympia, in Phil
adelphia, say that Doyle was on his
feet at the finish. According to the
accounts he must have also been on
Leonard's feet and part of the time
on the audience. Leonard, who Is a
real champion lightweight of the
universe, did not have to extend
himse f, and 1t looks now that the
only way to find a real contestant for
this prodigy, is to get one from
England.
Doyle, q New York Italian, was
supposed to be very good. but he
was so scared as he climbed in the
ring that the fight was all gone from
him before he started.
If there were any football scouts
on hand it wouldn't be the least bit
surprising to see Benny coaxed into
going to college. The exhibition of
broken field running and footwork
he gave while cutting corners at top
speed to head off Doyle was brill
liant, to say the least. We don't
know where Doyle was going, but
Leonard always managed to head
him off and make him stay in the
ring. Perhaps if Doyle hadn't been
as frightened as jackrabbit one hop
ahead of coyote that hadn't eaten

for a week, he might have put up a
better bout. AS it was, his main am
bition seemed to be to still know
what day of the week it was at the
end of the sixth.
Narrates one observer: Leonard
finally got his joints eased up a bit
in the second and Doyle got on
speaking terms with the floor of the
ring when he stopped one of the
champions right hooks by placing
his jaw very obligingly right in front
of it. The canvas evidently looked
familiar to Doyle, for he wanted to
remain near it and took eight Sec
onds before getting up. Then 1t be-
came q procession. We are not quite
sure about it, but we think Doyle
was on his way to climb the posts
at the corners of the ring several
times during the remaining part of
the fight, only to have Leonard in
terfere with his gymnastic inclina-
tions."
Toward the finish the champion
almost had him out. Leonard sailed
in with a volley of left and right
uppercuts and hooks that came so
fast Doyle bobbed around as If he
was being kicked by a half-dozen
army mules. but he weathered it
somehow and was just about able to
stand up at the finish.

New Year Message of Pope
Favors a League of Nations

Rome. Jan. - In q New Year
message to America, given to the
Associated Press, Pope Benedict eX-
pressed the hope that the peace con-
ference might result in new world
order, with q league of nations, the
abolition of conscription and the
establishment of tribunals to ad-
lust international disputes. The
message reads:
"On the eve of the New Year, in
which humanity is at last to enjoy
the blessings of peace, we are glad
to send cordial greetings to the
American people as the champions
of those same principles which have
been proclaimed by both President
Wilson and the Holy See. insuring
for the world justice, peace and
Christian love.
"In this solemn moment, when a
new era in the history of the world
is about to begin, we pray that the
Almighty may shed His light upon
the delegates who are meeting in
paris to settle the fate of man
kind. and especially upon President
| Wilson as the head of the noble
nation, which has written such glor-
ions pages an the annals of human
progress.
MAY the conference be of such
a nature as to remove any resent
ment, abolish forever wars among
brothers, establish harmony and con-
cord and promote useful labor. Out
of the peace conference may there
| be born the league of nations which.
by abolishing conscription Will re-
duce armaments; which by estab-
fishing international tribunals will
eliminate or settle disputes; which,
placing peace upon a foundation of
| solid rock. will guarantee to every
one independence and equality of
rights"

THE BETHLEHEM
SOCCER CHAMPS
LOSE OUT WEST
Second Defeat in Two Years
Handed Them by st. Louis
All-Stars on New Years

For the second time in two years,
the famous Bethlehem soccer team
met defeat on New Years Day at
st Louis from the All-Stars there.
1t was brilliant game, with Pepper,
who replaced Captain Campbell, in
jured, taking high honors. The
score was 43 and certainly no dis
grace.
Four goals within seven minutes
in the second half of the game
brought the crowd to their feet with
excitement. The last three goals
were scored within one minute of
each other. With the second half
twenty-five minutes under way with
the, All-Stars leading to l, Forrest,
of Bethlehem, tied the score with a
beautiful long shot. Four minutes
later the All-Stars jumped to the
lead again when Kennedy scored
but remained ahead only a minute,
when Forrest again made long shot
for the second time tying the score.
Once again within sixty second a
score was made, this by the All
Stars. which put the local team again
in the lead. Despite desperate eff
forts by Bethlehem to tie the score
within the twelve remaining minutes
of play the champions were held,
the nearest chance being when Miller
missed goal by a matter q inches
near the end.
1t is tie with a victory for each
