THE EX- VICE CHANCELLOR OF
GERMANY CALLS ON GERMAN
YOUTHS TO SEEK REVENGE

Helfferich analyzed what he char
acterized as "the catastrophe" as fol-
lows:
First, the madness breeding be-
lief in the nation that it could have
peace any day if the Pan-Germans,
the militarists and a supine govern
ment would give up its support to the
supposed plans of conquest.
Second. the Wilson cult, practiced
in fatal fashion by various politicians
and newspapers today. At last. after
signing a Wilson peace, Wilson's true
picture ought to stand before the eyes
of the most stubborn illusionists.
Villification at Home.
"Thrd, a factor working destruc-
lively within the nation was the Wilt
fication practiced against Germany S
just cause and the honesty and up
righteousness of the kaiser and his
love of peace.
Lastly, the throwing away of arms
when everything was at stake"
Helfferich appealed to the academic
youth of Germany to fight with all
spiritual weapons against all delusions
which still are lurking in German
heads and to work for "a showing up
and the elimination of the men who
ruined and sabotaged Germanys spirit
and thereby caused Germanys misfor-
tune.
The junker demand for revenge,
aimed against the men who are
charged with having betrayed Ger
many into the hands of her enemies.

delivered by Helfferich.

Dempsey Thought He Had
Won at End of Round and
Was Leaving the Ring and
Had to Be Called Back.
CROWD CALLED FOR
THE BOUT STOPPED
Exhibition Hardly Deserves
Name of Fight; Nearly All
Blows Were Dempsey's Who
Was Not Scratched.


Toledo, o., July 4.-By virtue of one
of the speediest and most one-sided
battles which ever decided a big fistic
event Jack Dempsey. who may now
wish to be known by his full voting
name of William Harrison Dempsey,
today became the worlds champion
heavyweight boxer.
To- all intents and purposes he
whipped the huge Jess Willard, ia
vorite in the meager betting, in one
round. Dempsey thought the referee
had announced him winner and
actually left the ring. But he was
called back and the butchery con-
4stinued for two rounds more when
Jess, sitting in his corner with a be-
wldered look on his swollen counte-
nance, failed to respond to the gong
for the fourth round.
1T was no use 10 continue" said

He sat there. apparently the most
surprised man in the United States at
the moment His right eye was closed
and his right cheek swollen and blue
with bruises. Blood covered his body
and his arms hung so helplessly over
the ropes that it seemed as if a child
might give him further abuse without
arousing his interest.
Dempsey Unhurt.
Dempsey was breathing hard when
the fight ended, but it was from eX-
ertion and not from punishment. lie
escaped almost unhurt, but as he had
been using his arms Ike trip-ham-
mers on the anatomy of his opponent
for nine crowded minutes in a sun
that sent the thermometer to 110 de-
grees, his heart was still pumping at
high pressure and he appreciated the
breathing spell.
In the first few seconds of the con-
test it looked as if the experts who
had been assigned to keep detailed
account of all blows struck might
come measurably close to doing so,
but it was only for a fraction of a
moment. After that the experts did
well to count Jacks blows let alone
take note of how each was made, The
challenger knocked the big fellow
down five times in the first round
and had him hanging helplessly on
the ropes or draned over his own
shoulders most of the time when he
was not taking advantage of the
count.
The crowd thought the fight was
over in that round. Willard was down
for the fifth time and the count was
apparently about to end when the
gong sounded. II was a modest gong
which could not make Itself heard,
so many people, and even Dempsey,
didn't get it, He crawled through the
ropes and headed out onto the
shoulders of screaming fans when the
truth was broken to him. and he was
hauled back.
willard Was Confident.
Such fighting as the Kansas ranch
man produced was placed on exhibit
ton at the onset. He had stood in his
corner picture of confidence. His
smile seemed that of one Who had a
brief and not unpleasant task before
him. He certainly was all set to go,
for just before time was called he was
heard to remark: Lets get this thing
over"
He measured the attendance, which

pensed.
It was against that danger General
SHUTS sounded a call so that the JUS
tice of the terms might be qualified
by mercy and thus have them become
the means of peace instead Of the
cause of war. He signed, however.
His protest may have an important cf-
feet in British affairs, for already he
is being groomed for liberal leader Of
the British empire when 1t becomes
the commonwealth of nations it SO
frequently asserts itself TO be. al
though as yet, and for a long time to
come, it will remain English ruled.

how or when, with any certainty.

back to the days of Magma Charta
and seeking new methods of effectu-

ties.
There were others on whom the
treaty weighed heavily, not only in
a spiritual way as it did on General
Smuts, but physically as well. The

action will probably involve serious
complication at Peking, as that gov

radical shift either in the personnel
or the principle of their home gov

There was third incident on which
the critics will pitch, 1t may easily
be that the letter informing the Ger
mans that the blockade would not be
lifted until the German assembly
ratified the traty was not handed to
the German delegates until they were
about to leave for Berlin. 1t will be

desideratum the allies seek, having

Lieutenant Jacobson, who was not

out over his landing place, but the
people and automobiles were too close.
The exhibition was part of the

New World Heavyweight Champion

did Jeffries at the hands of Jack
Johnson in their fifteen round bout at
Reno and yet was able to respond to
the bell had his seconds been callous-
ed enough to send him again to the
slaughter. Even after the disastrous
dening of the first round, Willard
flashed a momentary comeback in
the second round which for a few
seconds led to the belief among his
supporters that he would weather the
storm and carry the battle along on
even terms for a few sessions at least.
1t was the last flicker of a spirit
which was stronger than the flesh.

through the brawny arms and into the
clinched fists armored with five ounce
gloves. He made little or no attempt

OLD FREE TRADE

Washington, July 4.-Conspicuous
by its absence in these days is the
talk in Washington in favor of the
doctrine of free trade.

poet, "Who remembers the old-time
politician who used to crate on the
merits of free trade?'

The hearings before the house ways
and means committee on protection
for the dye industry are bringing out
some interesting things. For instance,
one of the witnesses was Grinnell
Jones, chemical expert of the tariff
commission. He told the committee
that while the industry had grown
greatly he regarded government pro-
lection as essential for its develop
ment. He said seventy-seven firms
were making dyes in 1918 and more
factories would be started if the in
dustry were given protection.

Paris, July AFTER period of
sober reflection the incident of the
peace treaty signing which seems to
have most affected the signatories
was the protest of General Smuts in
which he voiced his opposition to the
harsh terms. General Smuts is be-
lieved to have voiced the feelings of
the liberal party Of Great Britain.
1t is not with the justice OF the in
strument that liberals quarrel. 1t is
with its lack Of mercy, Between the
retributive justice that shall bring
about recrudescence Of false patriot
ism in Germany leading to revenge,
and mercy that Snail bring a new
spirit into tho world and MAKE secure
for their children peace and good will,
they prefer the latter course, and they
charge that 1t has not been followed.
None has stated their case with
such gripping intensity and such
clarity as did General SHUTS. As a
member of the South African commits
sion he signed the treaty, but he did
so under protest, and he caused his
protest to be published broadcast.
Just as the signing began. the state.
lated among the correspondents Of the
worlds press, and for the time re-
quired to read it the sCcno that was
being enacted in the center of the
hall became secondary,
1t may have been mere CoinCi-
dence, although it was probably due
to careful planning. that President
Wilson's statement to the American
public, intended originally for use only
in America, was placed in the hands
of the journalists Of all nations at the
same time. Evidently it was intended
as an antidote for the strong dose of
liberalism administered by the former
Boer leader who fought bravcly for
the things he stands for.
ParadoXical Situation.
There is something paradoXical in a
situation which makes President Will
son enact the role of a reaCtionarJ
when one recalls the virulence of the
attacks upon him at the outset of the
peace making. Has he changed or
have the critics? Perhaps both have
The president himself admits that the
treaty completed today brings un-
speakable disappointment to great
numbers of men. But he consoles
himself for this tragedy. as he him
self phrased it, by believing they eX-
pected too much too soon.
Because he saw in the document at
least a little chance for better things
to come out of it, and because it is the
only way at the moment to end the
war and the even more distressing
conditions of the armistiCe. General
SHUTS signed with eyes looking for
ward and hopes on the future. To
him, as to others, the treaty Is a work
of hatred Hatred is not of necessity
incompatible with Justice. Since alb
stract justice is humanity unattain-
