 Fight Financial Failure.

Mexico City, June 24.--Jack John kson, former champion of the world. defeated Bob Roper of Chicago in an 1Ininteresting ten round fight in a bull ring here Sunday. The negro proved unpopular with the crowd, and once, when he made strong re- marks because of the crowds par fisanship, the spectators hissed and demanded his arrest
 Roper was too weak for the ex- champion and proved 9 plaything for Johnson all the way through the bout. On one or two occasions Roper Gore into Johnson and landed several blows to the face and jaw, but his ourches were not strong enough.

 Eternal ran remarkable race. He
 made almost every furlong pole winning one and stepped over the
 one mile and a furlong course in 1:49 4-5 This is exceptionally fast and only two-fifths of a second be- hind the record esta blished by Harry
 Payne Whitney's Borrow two years ago. But it is his intermediate time
 which best shows his whirlwind speed. He ran the first half mile in 45 3-5, five furlongs in 5S, three
 quarters in Hi and the mile in the marvellous time of 1:36 2-5.
 During the last furlong he was unuef wraps ana IL IS nlShly pfOb- able that if he had been urged to do his best in the final run to the judges he would have smashed Borrows old figures to smithereens. And after his wonderful performance he was as fresh and strong apparently as when he started.

SPLENDID ADDRESS
BY DIR, FARRAND
DELIVERED BEFORE RED CROSS CONFERENCE
HELD AT BUTTE; so INSPIRING WERE HIS
REMARKS HAT THEY ARE REPRODU-
E FOR OUR READERS.

by the organization at home, they IA
ced at once the problem of the refugee,
the task of helping to save and build
up the child life in France, and attack
ed with vigor the menace of tubercu-
losis. They called upon you to send
hen doctors and nurses and skilled ex-
perts in every field to carry to the aid
of the French the best that American
experience and good will could offer.
Red Cross centers of relief sprang
up in every department of France.
In an incredibly short time the Amer
lean Red Cross had carried to every
corner of that stricken country the
message that not only had America
become an ally in war, but had be-
come a helping friend in time of need.
The presence of Red Cross uniforms
made American participation for the
first time a living fact to the French
people. During those dark months
of the summer and autumn of 1917
your Red Cross worked faithfully and
successfully to express your spirit in
that country, and day by day the con
fidence of France responded to the
effort. By the end of the year the
atmosphere of gloom had been trans
formed into one of confidence and as
surance. l do not hesitate to say that
in that critical period it was the pres
ence of the American Red Cross that
did more than any other single fac
tor to save the day. It is a record
Of which you may all we'll be proud.
Then the American army came. Time
will not permit me to describe even
in merest outline the many-sided ac-
Invites which the Red Cross immed-
lately assumed. During all the early
months, while actively engaged in CT
william work in France, the Red Cross
had been busily preparing for the
coming of u own troops. Vast re-

ed and sick had been gathered togeth-

made for that service which is per-

ed it's trust. And not only from the
returning soldier do you hear words
of appreciation, but from the highest
officials come the same expressions
Of gratitude and trust.
While the work overseas was per
haps more dramatic, it was no more
important and fundamental than the
work at home. Everyone in France
recognized that his or her service al
the front was only made possible by
the devotion and sacrifices of those al
home. Never in the history of the
world has there been such a spontan.
eous outpouring of unselfish service
as was shown by the women Of the
United States who, day after day anc
month after month, gave their hands
and their hearts to the service of those
who were fighting the countrys battles
abroad. Whatever emergency was
presented by val conditions, the Rec
Cross was found ready to do it's best
to meet it.

l wish there were some way in
which l could present to you a picture
OF the work the Red Cross has done
IN the past, what it is doing today and
What is hopes to accomplish in the
future. The record of it's part in the
war which has just closed is one of
the most inspiring and satisfying
pages in the story Of the great strug-
gle. You who have made the Red
Cross what it is know better than l
the universal devotion shown by it's
millions of members on this side of
the water. It was my fortune to be
able to see something Of what your
service and sacrifice meant when ex-
pressed overseas.
When the decision was finally made
and the United States entered the war,
the Red Cross, like every other agency
concerned, began to prepare itself for
the great task ahead. One of it's
first steps was to send a commission
to France, not with definite detailed
instructions, but with directions t6 do
whatever might be necessary to carry
out the Red Cross responsibility at
the front and behind the lines in Eur
ope. That little commission reached
Paris in June, 1917. 1t knew that
it would be months before the Amer
lean troops could arrive, and it looked
about to see what it might do in the
meantime to express the will and spir-
it Of the American people as allies in
the war.
1t will be difficult adequately to
paint for you the atmosphere of dis
couragement which covered France at
that period. For three years she had
been bearing the bruqt of constant at
tack. She had modified every re-
source at her command and much of
the richest and most vital part of her
territory was over-run by the enemy
Never relaxing her effort for the mo-
ment, there was nevertheless abroad
in the people a spirit of discourage
ment which Americas declaration of
war had served to modify but not to
destroy. Added to her terrible losses
in battle, she was facing inroads of
disease and loss of vitality in her CT
william population. Not only was the
birthrate-always low-cut in half
since the beginning of hostilities, but
tuberculosis and other epidemic dis.
eases were apparently the unavoid.
able RESULTS of reduced rations and
general war conditions. Hundreds OF
thousands of refugees, driven out from
the occupied departments of north.
eastern France, had been thrust back
or a population already overburden-
ed, and without money and homeless
were presenting a problem not only
pathetic in detail but impossible OF
solution when viewed as a national
burden.
Your Red Cross representatives rec.
ognized at once that the greatest i'm.
mediate contribution which they coulc
make would be to do what they coulc
to build up the morale of the French
people, and with characteristic en-
ergy they set to work to lay out then
program. Supported Fundamentally
