Commission Will Not
 Approve BurlesOn's New
 Phone and Telegraph Rate

Montgomery, January 7.-(Special) The new rates of A. S. Burleson, Post master General and operator of the telephone lines in the United States, will not get the approval of the Ala bama public service commission, be- cause an investigate shows the rates, are far in excess of those now in effect
 The government did not ask the state commission to approve or reject the rates It merely filed the scale of rates with the commission, and the com mission went over and compared these rates with the ones now in effect Re- gardless of the refusal of the commits sion to approve the rates the Postmas ter General will ignore the matter
 Investigation shows that the so- called person to person" rate will be considerably higher than the rate now charged. "The station to station" rate, which receives less than the other, will not be used by the business men, it was found, and they must pay "the person to person. rate.
 President Kennedy Tuesday said the commission had refused to approve the rates. However, this will not be shown in the records of the commission, be- cause it takes no formal and official action until going thoroughly into a case.
 The Georgia railroad commission, which has authority over utilities such IS is the telephone company, has re- fused to approve the rates because they are too high.

TROOPS IN POLAND, WITH ARTILLERY,
 MARCH ID THORN
Tells Germany Her Troops Must Be Disarmed Before They Will Be Allowed
 in Poland
By Associated Press

Berne, Switzerland, January 7-(1avas.) Polish troops with artillery are advanc- ing toward Thorn, north of the Polish Prussian border according to dispatches received here from German sources. In eastern Brandenburg the population, it is added, is fleeing westward owing to the advance of the Poles who now are within seven miles of the border of Branden- burg.
 According to the Polish news agency the Germans have asked the Polish gov ernment for free passage through Poland for troops returning from the Ukraine. The Poles were informed if they refused the Germans would force a way through.
 The Polish government in reply declared that the German troops must be dis armed before they passed through Po- land, that railroad cars and engines must be surrendered for use in bringing about the immediate occupation of Wilma by the Poles, and that the Poles be given sufficient war material to complete the organization of the Polish military forces. The Germans were informed that if they attempted to force a passage, it would be considered an act of war The Pol ish government added it had informed the allied governments of the German demands.

ANARCHY REPORTED


 Warsaw, Sunday, January 5.-Lodz and other Polish cities are reported in state of virtual anarchy, with the rough CT element doing as it pleases. There las been frequent firing of rifles but nc casualties as yet have been reported.
 The workers, the reports state, have adopted the habit when they feel the need of money, of demanding from the employers if they see them in the streets or in surrounding houses, and imprison- ing them until they give what is asked. The employers have already made up fund of 10000 900 marks for the laborers, but this does not satisfy them and the n-orkmen now are demanding S0 marks each. The reports say the men frequent ly spend the day parading the streets with red flags and listening to agtators deliver speeches, the crowds bowling, Down with the Jews," and Down with the mayor"
 The agitators are said to be spreading the report that if the allies come they will act much as did the Germans who are credited with having stolen so thor oughly that Jew is quoted as say ing: 'sWhen the Russians were here l wanted to hang myself, but after the Germans came not even rope was left" No work is being done in Lod2 or other manufacturing cities, owing to the lack of raw material. The theatres and the stores are open at Lodz. however, ex- cept when parades are passing.

 NIGHT SESSION
 Dr. John w. Phillips, pastor of the
 First Baptist church of Mobile, delivered
 the convention sermon last night, talk ing as his text, God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that
 others might be saved.' He spoke or
 the people being called dreamers and of the wonderful picture brought to thelr mind by their dreams of the time when there would be no more wars. A beautl- full tribute was paid to President Wilson, as well as the soldiers of this great big glorious nation who so successfully brocght the war to a close, by pr. Phll- lips. But we must not lay too much stress on democracy he said, as II was the Christian men and women or the world that saved democracy ana not democracy that saved the Christian man. hood and womanhood of our country. God has never promised democracy any, thing, but has promised great things to those who come unto Him. Let us be- ware and not claim too much glory Tor l ourselves, lest we undo things which have already been given us by God, who has power over everything"
 1 Dr. Phillips told some of the things ! his son, who is an officer with the Amer ican expeditionary forces, now in France, had experienced before being wounded and so thrilling were they that the con gregation was held spell bound, especial ly when he told of the struggle the young Alabamian had engaged in with Ger
 man and how he succeeded in winning out over his enemy, in concluding, this dis | tr gushed visitor said: God loves his people and he will continue to chastise and punish us until we turn to him and enshrine Jesus in our hearts then will God stop the wars and make all things in the world new.

right t-hander that carried all the wan ing power of his body behind it. It landed on the right cheek of Mace and dropped him.
 Mace gamely answered the call of time for the nineteenth round but was in such condition that a mild blow by King dropped him again When Mace went out for the twentieth he was very groggy and after about a minute of fighting, during which the recuperating King rained a succession of blows upon his face and body, the seconds of Mace tossed up the sponge and Tom King became the undisput- ed champion of England.
 Mace upon recovering, challengeh King to fight again - but King re. fused It had been the ambition of his career to attain the championship of England and. having realized his ambition. King decided that he would retire with his laurels
 Jem Mace remained inactive for moro than a year after losing the champion ship to Tom King-and then came his memorable fight with Joe Goss on the River Thames September 1, 1863.
 ID to that time Goss. who started his ring career in 1859, never had tasted defeat He had established a splendid record as a ringman and a!- though Mace and King were fighting for championships. in those days many persons figured that Goss was better than either But the 1863 contest prov ed to the skeptics the superiority or Mace.
 Goss soon afterwards challenged Mace again and when the latter ac- cepted he named $3000 as a side bet. Goss insisted that this was not a tair proposition and proposed that Mace bet sso0O against his $2000 Mace agreed and collected the stake money by whipping Goss in 19 rounds, which covered nearly two hours of whirl- wind action.
 About a year later Goss and Mace were re-matched for 5000 side bet. but the fight never went to a finish After the men had battled for more than one hour, they mutually agreed to cease operations, shook hands ana quit the ring. There was always more or less of mystery as to why they dld it. Neither offered a complete eXplana- tion On August 6, 1865, they fought for the third time and after a cyclone contest. in which Mace was the az eressor. he knocked out Goss in the twenty-first round.
 Soon afterward Ned O'Baldwin, who was 6 feet inches tall-perhaps the most gigantic of Englands fighters challenged Mace for the champlonsnlp and a side bet of 5000. Mace accepted and they agreed to meet on October To 1867, but the bout never was put on because on the night before the au- thorities went to the home of Mace and arrested him while he was in bed After securing his liberty Mace ex- pressed disgust with the pugilistic ar fairs in Eng1and-and set sail for the United States. - (Another Jem Mace story, detailing his experiences in America, will appear in this column tomorroW.)
