British Promoter Here
To Land Scrap Between
Dempsey and Carpenter

New York, Dec. Csc. B. Cochran,
British promoter, arrived here today
on the steamer Mauretania, prepared
to offer a substantial sum for stag
ing worlds heavyweight boxing
championship match between Georges
Carpenter, champion of Europe, and
Jack Dempsey, holder of the world
heavyweight belt.
/ Mr.. Cochran is on his way to see
Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager. AL
though unprepared to give details OF
his plans, he intimated that he had
made tentative arrangements for the
bout in either France or Great Brit
ain, where it would be permitted to
go a sufficient number of rounds TO
show the mettle Of both men.
Carpenter, he said, would have the
solid backing of a large number Of
the French and English fight fol-
lowers, because of his easy defeat of
the English champion, Beckett. No
matter where a Carpentier-D Dempsey
fight was staged, it would be assured
of a capacity attendance, he added.
The Mauretania left Cherbourg en-
December 19, and Notwithstanding
exceptionally rough weather made
the run to this port in less than sew
en- days. There were more than 1900
passengers on board and from some
of these it was learned that on last
Monday. the vessel suddenly dropped
from the top Of mountain high
wave" into a deep trough in the sea.
The shock of the impact caused the
liner to shake and quiver from stem
to stern. Many of those on board
asserted that she went completely un-
der.
Christmas eve was celebrated on
board. A tree was provided for the
children, a concert was arranged and
a special Christmas eve dinner was
served.
Among the passengers was Fred H.
Screaton, foreign representative Of a
New York department store. He has
been abroad since October investi-
eating for his firm trade conditions
in England. Belgium and France. He
said that England, particularly the
northern section, is recovering rapid
ly from the effects Of the war. Mills
handling wool and cotton products
are booked up almost a year in ad-
vance and the factories Of Scotland
are enjoying what might be termed
unusual prosperity.
France. he added, also is picking
up rapidly. Raw materials are need
ed but return to normal conditions
10 rapidly bringing the country back
to pre-war conditions. The low rate
Of exchange, he added, is one Of the
greatest handicaps under which all
of the European and continental
countries are struggling.

birds are not accurate weather IN
dicator, except. as they indicate i'm
mediate changes in the temperature,
said DR.. Leon D. Peaslee, of the Mil
waukee public museum. "The flight
of swallows early in the season is no
indication of severe winter. When
a storm approaches birds flutte1
about in agitated manner and seek
shelter. They are worried until the
storm passes.
1.-THE migration of birds is not a
matter OF weather but concerns food
Fly catchers, martins, chimney swal
lows, swifts, night hawks, ETC., are
birds which feed on the wing. That
is, they eat insects which fly through
the air, and cate them on the fly
Naturally, when the chilly nights
come, these birds must migrate to a
warmer climate.
Frost Birds Next
THE next class would be the birds
which leave In frost time, such as
Warblers, yirios. orioles, wrens, etc
These birds feed on leaves, the birds
must go to some part of the world
where the leaves are green The
next birds to travel southwark are
the probing birds, or the birds which
obtain their food by digging for it
