Few Big Boxers Care
to Help Willard Train
and Take His Wallops
BY International News Service.

New York, April 12.-Apparently
Jess Willard is going to have con-
siderable trouble obtaining sparring
partners. Ray Archer, the cham
pion's secretary, who was in town
recently to sign several men, had to
60 back empty handed. 1t seems
that none of the men he approached
cared to act as chopping block for
the big fellow.
One or two declined because OF
the faint hope that some day they
might get a chance to fight for the
title and do not care to lose pres
tige by acting in such minor role.
Others were not satisfied with the
terms offered, being able to make
more money boxing in the ring.
This sparring partner question
threatens to become a serious one
as the time for the big battle ap-
proaches. AS soon as Walter Mon
ohan can obtain his discharge from
the army, Willard will have the
services OF the man who helped con-
dition him for his battle with John
son and Moran, but Monohan has
done no ring fighting for many
years and no longer is able to ex-
tend the big fellow.
Willard has been out of the ring
SO long it will take plenty OF hard
work to round him into form again.
If it is possible for him to regain
his best condition, plenty of hard
glove work is the only thing that
will do it. Willard would be far bet
ter off if he could fight himself into
condition by taking part in several
minor bouts in the ring, but since
his position and his contract with
Promoter Tee Richard closed that
road, the only resource left to him
is to hire squad of live sparring
partners, who can both give and
take something more than mere love
taps.
Few boxers of Wizards age can
withstand punishment well, par
ticularly after being away from the
ring for any length of time. The
jaw muscles are the first to weaken,
so that blows that mean nothing to
a fighter who is used to being ham
mered, will jar and daze the boxer
who is not hardened by constant
boxing
Up TO year or so ago Willard
did considerable boxing while travel
ing with his circus. 1t was very
light work but it served to prevent
him from losing his judgment of dis
lance and his ability to block. How
ever, it now is some time since he
did any sort OF glove work

French Officer, 80,
Enlisted as Private
at Wars Outbreak
BY NABOTH HEDIN.
(staff Correspondent Of Universal Service)

Paris, April 12-Premier Clemen-
ceau is not the only French octo-
genarian who gets his name in the
papers for vigor.
The oldest poilu of France, who is
now 80 years OF age, has just been
demobilized. That's right, 80 years
twice forty-and yet he has
served four years as volunteer;
been in the front lines, and has won
his commission on the field of bat
tie. When he enlisted he was 76.
How is that for "pep?"
His name is Charles Surugue,
and his address is Auxerre, of which
town he once was mayor. Even
now he is a conseiller-general,
which corresponds to member OF
the legislature" for the department
OF the Yonne. His profession is
that of surveyor, but before the war
started he had retired. Being in
perfect health, having time to spare,
he enlisted
He started as a buck private,
which in France is known as sol
dier of the second class" or
"bleuet," from the fact that the
rockies used to wear blue pants
when everybody else wore red. At
the front he won his stripes as a
corporal, sergeant and then as first
Lieutenant AS decorations he has
the war cross with one star and
two palms" which means he has
been cited. three times for bravery.
When he returned home to Aux
ere. which is a pleasant old town
in which Julius Caesar once camped,
he was given a great reception by
his fellow townsmen, and recently
he was given party in Paris by
Paris residents from the Yonne.
That's where the old poilu. like
King George, really broke training.
1t was some party. Among those
who came to shake hands with Lieut.
tenant Surugue, aged so, was the
father of General Pruneau, who at
46 is the youngest general in the
French army lin the English army
are generals 20 years old). There
was great talk about the battles of
Verdun and the Somme. where
Surugue was in the thick of it.

that there will be almost as many

and save his family. He knows that
the answer must come from beyond

He may know little of America. To

much as a name on a map. But he
realizes, only as those who are under
the shadow realize, that unless Mis-.

and to him vague places on the map,
come to his aid that he must die.
Over there they are waiting for our
answer. They know that we came
into the war and smashed the terror
Of the Hun, and that their Turkish
masters are finally overthrown. But
to them all this will mean nothing
unless they are given a chance for
life.
In the meanwhile they are dying for
the food that is in America. They
are perishing for lack of means to
buy such little food as there Is in the
stricken lands. American men and
women are laboring there, giving all
they have, going hungry themselves,
unable to check the blight of starva.

They are watching little children
eating filthy garbage. They see them
