Won't Lift LiuuOr Ban

President Wilson did not lift
the ban on the sale of liquor
after June 30th. as it was pre-
dicted he would do. In the fail
IRE of congress to act, the
president has determined that
the war time prohibition act
must so into effect. He is of
the opinion that he cannot if
he will, abolish the act by pro-
clamation for the reason that
rehabilitation of the army is
not complete.

HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION
FIGHT STAGED FRIDAY

FIGHT STAGED FRIDAY
For the First Time in the His
tory of the Game. Odds Fa-
yor the Challenger In the
Toledo Fight.
The contest for the worlds
championship heavy weight
boxing title will be settled to-
day (Friday) at Toledo, Ohio
when Jess Willard, present
champion. stands in the squar-
ed ring to defend the title
against the spirited challen-
ger Jack Dempsey. The fight
will 90 twelve rounds. no decis-
ion. to conform to the Ohio
laws. which means that there
must be a clean knock out in
less than twelve rounds to de-
termine the championship, and
this is where Dempsey's record
for knock outs in short order
stand him in good stead, and
bring about the condition,
unique of a boxing history of
the odds being placed on the
challenger instead of the de-
fender of the title, which OBJ
tains in the east in this fight.
Dope says that Willard is
so big and husky that even
though Dempsey is fast and
furious fighter he will be un-
able to hurt the champion,
which was the case in the
JOhnson-Williard fight at
Havana.
1t is on this theory that the
Willard hackers pin their faith
in the champion. Dempsey
hackers though, say that that
wont hold good and they point
the fact that Dempsey whipped
Carl Morris, a bigger man that
willard, and did it twice.
once with a knock out in the
fourth round, and in the sec
Ond fight a knock out about a
minute after the fight started.
About the only way to esti-
mate the two fighters is to com
pare their showings with other
opponents, and this is not ac-
curate for the reason that one
may be good fighter today,
and a poor one tomorrow, so
many things entering into the
condition of a fighting man.
There are, however. four other
fighters. at least, whom both
willard and Dempsey have
engaged, and the results have
been as follows:
When Willard was young
man. he met Arthur Pelliy at
New York. and they fought ten
rounds without a decision. At
that time willard was Il young
fighter. but so was Pelky. In
May 1918 Pelky and Dempsey
tied up for a minute in Denver
and Dempsey put Pelky to the
floor for a X. O. i'm one round.
1t is presumed that with sever
al years experience Pelky was
a better fighter than when he
met willard in 1912.
In June. 1913. Willard met
Charley Miller at San Francis
co and they fought four rounds
to a draw. In September. 1917,
Miller and Dempsey met in the
city of Oakland, California and
Dempsey knocked Miller out in
the first round.
In May. 1913. willard met
Gunboat Smith at San Francis
co and lost the fight in twenty
rounds. In October. 1917. DEM
psey and Gunboat Smitd tied
up for a fight in the same city
and Dempsey whipped the said
Smith in four rounds.
In December, 1913, willard
and the huge Carl Morris met
in New York and after a hard
fight. willard finally won in
twenty rounds. Dempsey took
Morris on in November, 1917,
and put the big Sapulpa engin-
eer to sleep in the very first of

washington. Negotiations said 20
have been undertaken by the Califor-
MIA and Mexican Land company to sell
to a Japanese syndicate 100000 acres
OF land in Mexico fronting upon the
California border have been ordered
investigated by the state department.
The information concerning the pro-
posed deal which Is in possession OF
the department indicates that the sale
OF the land would be distinct viola.
ton of the Monroe doctrine.
1t would also be in contravention of
the Lodge resolution which the Sen
ate adopted two years ago. This re-
solution, although 1t does not have the
force Of statute, warns foreign gov.
ernments against making purchases OF
land on this continent.
The facts in. the case were sent TO
the state department from California
by Senator James ID. Phelan, who re-
presented to the department that the
deal was practically concluded and
that the Japanese syndicate had been
organized to take over the land for
colonization purposes. The senator
requested the state department &c
take immediate steps to prevent the
deal from being consummated.
Acting Secretary Polk received Sen.
ator Phelan's protest and at once tele.
graphed to the senator that an In.
vestigation Will be made at once. II
was announced at the state depart.
ment that the government will go to
the bottom OF the matter and WIN as.
certain II there is any connection be.
tween the syndicate and the govern
ment OF Japan.
II II should be established that the
Japanese government Is in any way
associated with the syndicate the duty
OF the United States in the matter
would plainly be to register a formal
protest through diplomatic channels
against the acquisition Of the land.

Paris.-France insists that the sur
rendered German warships be distri.
buted among the victors as legitimate
prizes OF war. AS for these ships be-
ing called white elephants by those
who advocate sinking. France Is will
ing to take a chance Having suffered
most. France demands share cor
responding with her sacrifice. France
also opposes the suppression OF the
submarine as a war weapon.
The French minister of marine.
Georges Leagues. drove home these
points in an interview When asked
his views on these naval problems,
he answered:
II am able to tell you nay views be.
cause / already have communicated
them to the parliamentary commit.
tees, which approved them unanimous
ly. Generally speaking. we should not
follow the German principle of de-
struction. On the contrary. we should
try to preserve whatever is utilizablc
after four years OF continual destruc-
ton and terrific losses. To destroy is
brutal and barbaric; It is the German
method.
Civilizations task Is To construct
and readapt, not to keep on destroy
ing. In this particular instance,
France, who suffered so much and
which has seen the products Of 80
many generations efforts destroyed
within a short time, cannot consent
to the destruction OF anything which
might possibly be useful and capable
OF repairs, thus sparing the taxpayers
already so heavily burdened.
Consequently. the French view is
perfectly clear: The German feet,
which is a common prize of war,
should be distributed among the vic.
tors. Whatever use each state may
make OF the ships Is the business OF
that state alone. II some wish to sink
their share, they may do so. But We,
who have suffered such cruel dam
ages from the war. are faced by the
imperious duty to employ our part 10
our best interests.
