game, l am glad.
From tho time that willard stepped
In the ring shortly after 4 o'clock this

said Willard has none of the fight
Ing instincts-he has just one. and that
is gameness He took this afternoon
more punishment than has been meted
out to any heavyweight fighter in my
day, and all the terrific pummeling and
commandment came within three rounds
just nine minutes of fighting.
Blows Were Rapid.
The blows came so fast in the first
round that 1t Is almost impossible to
tell which was most responsible for
the champions downfall. As they
squared of. Dempsey clearly was ner-
vous. and It was a full minute be-
he had started. however. there was no
lull. He played no favorites as far as
punches go. There were right hooks,
left hooks. fun round swings. terrific
blow known to pugilism.
Willard fell when the first full blow,
a right hook. caught him fairly on the
jaw. He picked himself up. plainly in
distress, and Dempsey was on top Of
him; tearing at him like a wildcat
Willard dropped again. and fell against
the ropes. He managed to set on his
feet. and Just one more blow and again
he dropped. this time taking the count
of four.
Willard managed to work himself to
the other end of the ring, and there
was greeted with the hardest blow of
the night, powerful hook on the Jaw

Second Was Fierce Conflict.
The second round was noted chiefly
for the fact that willard managed to
stay through 1t. This was due TO only
one fact. Dempsey had tired himself
out In the first round. Willard showed
some slight recuperative powers but
IT was only fash. What little abil

WORLDS WAR SOLDIERS
LED Ply OLD GENERAL
New York SUM-

The French correspondent of the
Army and Navy Journal, ]. B. eau
treau, comments on the maturity, not
TO say advanced age, of the generals
victorious in the war. Of the three
E;&rshals, 118 generals of divisions
and PSI generals of brigades in the
French active service, the youngest
OF the brigade generals is forty-four;
the youngest general of division is
80; all the army group commanders
are beyond sixty. 1t is a contrast,
Grautreau says, which the wars of
the French revolution, which brought
to prominence generals who were
scarcely more than twenty-five, such
as Bonaparte, Hoche and Marceau.
1t is not necessary to go back as far
as that to find groups of military com
manders comparatively young. Our
own civil war supplies enough. To
mention the oldest of the prominent
generals on the Union side, Hooker
was forty-nine when Lee beat him
at Charlottesville, Meade forty-sev-
en- at Gettysburg, Sherman was a.
when he started from Atlanta to the
sea. Grant was only AZ at Appomat-
tox, Mcclellan thirty-six at Antietam,
was thirty-three when he
galloped to Winchester. Of the Con-
federate leaders, Albert Sidney john
son was fifty-eight and Lee and Joe
Johnston were fifty-four when the
war began; Longstreet was forty.
Stonewall Jackson, whose beard and
oiety are to the schoolboy evidences
If old age, was only thirty-nine when
ne was killed at Charlottesville.
Hood was but thirty-three when he
ook command against Sherman.

HOLDS CHILD UNDER
FOURTEEN MAY WORK

In an opinion given to Mrs. Chas.
Musgrove, of the state labor depart
ment, Attorney General Crales Nor
ris held that child under fourteen
years of age may be employed dur
ing the school term providing that he
is not employed during any part of
the time that the school is in daily
session. This is the first opinion on
this subject as far as could be ascer-
tanned by the attorney generals Of
fee. 1t construes section l of Sec
ton 931-a of the child labor law,
which provides that a child under
fourteen years of age shall not be
employed during any part of the
term which the public schools of the
district in which the child resides are
in session. Morris holds that the
words term and session are intended
to mean session. He holds that a
child can work before and after
school hours.

LOWE DIED A WAX HERO,
AMONG THE FIRST CALLED
[New YORK Tinesl


OF the more than three hundred
men, acrobats, aerialists, clowns, an
NAL trainers, Office workers, arena
men, and others, who left the cir
Gus to join the ranks of the army or
navy, about enc hundred have return
cd to their old jobs with the shows.
Some, however, will never return
and golden stars on the service flag
of the circus tell why. The veterans
who return sound of limb and good
health are promptly reinstated in
their old positions with the travelling
shows. Those who still suffer from
wounds, shell shock, gas or other in
capacity are provided for at the win
ter quarters of the circuses or in the
home Offices.
Jerry" Clayton, the clown, whose
antics have delighted the children of
New York and other cities, was one
OF the circus performers who made
the supreme sacrifice. He was a New
Yorker and was one of the~frst men
called in the selective draft and was
among the first to waive exemption.
He went overseas with the 18th d.
vision and was killed in action Aug.
Is, 1918.
One of the veterans now back with
the circus is Clarence G.. Richards,
He enlisted in the marines in the first
week after congress declared war,
and was wounded thirteen times in
Belleau Wood. He wears a silver
plate on one of his shins and another
IN his jaw. He was shot in the head
while being removed from the bat
tletield after being caught in a ma
chine gun burst and falling with 12
bullet wounds. A German airplane
dropped a bomb, and it was frag-
ment of which wounded him in the
mead while he was being transferred
to the dressing station. Richards is !

Transatlantic Flight.

In an August day of 1910 a large
concourse of notable people met in
Arlington across the Potomac from
Washington. In one of the tents
erected there was President Taft and
party of friends. After long wait
two airplanes appeared flying low.
They were navigated by the Wright
brothers and had flown the enormous
distance of ten miles. The delay in
their arrival was due to their wait
ing for the little wind that was blow
ing to completely die down. The
flight was an amazing success and
the bold airmen received the con-
gratulations of the distinguished as
semblage.
This was less than ten years ago
and now an American seaplane man.
ned by American naval officers has
successfully crossed the Atlantic
ocean.
1t is about one hundred years ago
that ship propelled by steam and
navigated by Yankee skipper first
the Atlantic. 1t was a small
craft of a few thousand tons that
made the hazardous voyage in about
two weeks. The ship was well equip
ped with sails to be used in case the
new motive power proved failure.
From that experiment with steam to
the great transatlantic liners of to-
day is far cry, but it helps US to
imagine what will be the develop
ment of the transatlantic flight in
the next hundred years. 1t takes the
inist steamer with the greatest
engines nearly six days to
make the passage. The flying time
Of the NC-4 was little more than
a day. Time and space have both
received a knockout punch at the
hands of the brave American naval
air navigators.
That the experiment should be !
made by the navy is also significant

Cray Conner.

The work of Swiss investigator
suggests that absolutely pure copper
may have a light-gray color like that
of most other metals, since it is found
that copper which has been ten times
distilled in vacuo has only a pale rose
color, while the yellow color of gold
becomes much lighter under similar
treatment.
