FIGHT ON SCOTCH STIRS ENGLAND AS
 ID THE VERY DEPTHS
Rapid Inroads of Prohibi- ton Sentiment Seem In- cOmprehensible to Old
 Political Leaders
By GEORGE T. BYE

, London, November 2O.-(Reciproca. News Service )-Does the near future hold for us tanning of the plaids? Will kilties be tucked in pants? Will natives of the land of lochs and braes and frths be able to discuss the indigenous thistle without uprooting their tongues? Is that stomach dynamite known as Scotch whisky to cease to flow in it's lively way? The answer to all these startling questions leans toward the affirmative.
 One of these fine mornings year hence the world will awake to read that rugged old Scotland has gone dry. The fore cast is by our cautious countryman, the relentless MT. "Pussyfoot' Johnson, ter TOT of British liquor interests He has lately seen Scotland as many others have seen it these last unbelievable days
 After 50 years of struggle Scotland ob- tained jurisdiction over her drinking in what practically amounts to local option. The war compelled an enormous reduc- tion in the supply of Scotch, so that every time q thrifty highland man went to get his wee drappie, he found it un- common wee in soul power, and bang went two sixpences for it. Brawny elansmen were no longer impelled to sally forth on romantic expeditions and tie railroad rails in lovers knots. The country quietad down and liked the change.

 "Althoush there have been many drives recently and people have been asked for contributions to various causes, this is the first time that an appeal had been made for the girls of the country" Mrs. Denson stated in speaking of the drive, Posters have been placed in the churches and other places advertising the cam paign, and it is thought that only one day will be given to the taking of sub scriptions, which will be next Friday A number of workers have promised to as- sist. and the fact that Mrs Denson, whose home is in the Bessemer district, was selected as chairman of district of 14 counties, will be an incentive to the Bessemer people in subscribing 10 the fund.

W|LDE'S DEFEAT WAS A COMPLETE UPSET. Sharkey's Punches Landed More Frequently and
 Had Greater Force
By Associated Prs

Milwaukee, December 6.-The defeat of Wilde, the pride of the English fstic world. was n surprise. He succeeded in winning only two of the ten rounds, Shnrkey having the better of seven sessions, and the first was even. The New Yorker started out to make it . rushing fight and brought the crowd to it's feet in two. rounds when he staggered the little Welchman with rights and lefts to the chin. He landed more frequently than Wilde and his punches had greater force.
 Wilde lived up to none of his ad- vance notices. His judgment of distance was bad and there was little force behind his punches. He got $11,OGO for the 90 minutes he was in the ring.
 Neither fighter wns marked. al- though Sharkey was bleeding at the mouth as the result of Wildes' left jabs.
 Under the Wisconsin laws, no referee's decision can be given, but 1t was the unanimous opinion of the newspaper experts at the ring side that Sharkey had clearly the better of the match.
