WOULD HAVE LITTLE
CHANCE Of DEFEATING DEMPSEY
French Champion Has Fought But Once in Five Years
and This Was Against Veteran Who Had Quit Game
Years Ago; Hard Hitting American Slugger Would
Prove Too Fast and Clever for French Favorite
By THOMAS $. ANDREWS

THERE are all kinds Of rumors at
! the present time regarding a
championship match between Jack
Dempsey and Georges Carpenter, the
European champion Dempsey would
like to get Carpenter for himself as
he no doubt is afraid that someone
will beat him TO the match and spoil
a nice fat purse. Most Of the Ameri-
cans look upon Carpenter as easy
game for Dempsey, and they would
like TO see the Laa-cn Drought about
with the hope that they could clean
up in a betting way.
Frenehman My Come.
There has been great deal OF talk
about Carpenter coming over to
America for a tour Of this country
and at the same time fighting Demp-
sey, but there is little chance OF the
trcnchman getting over to the states
until the spring Of 1920. II is also
possible that he may be dethroned
before that time as he has several
matches in sight and against men who
are liable TO prove very bothersome to
him
Carpenter has already signed

to be selected in a short time and
who Will probably he Battling Le-
whisky. of New York, who holds
the light heavyweight champion
ship Dan Morgan manager OF
Levlnsky, has practically accepted
terms for the match but with the
understanding that Carpenter
must not fight until he meets Le-
whisky.
This may cause a hitch as It is IN

why dOeS the Red cross neeO
money? The war is over"
National headquarters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross has answered this ques-
tion, and has outlined graphically the
reasons why it is necessary to raise
S!5,000,000 for its International, ma
tional and local work.
In brief the answer is as follows:
Because: The actual war work is
not completed. The Red Cross cannot
lay down it's responsibilities to the
American soldiers, sailors or marines
Until everyone of them has been re-
leased from service, recovered from
illness or wounds or receiving proper
care, or back in the place. in the world
from which the war snatched them.
Because: The American Red Cross
S planning to launch comprehensive
rrogram for peace times, designed to
prevent the needless waste OF human
lives through preventable diseases and
accidents in America; continue and
broaden it's home service work and
public nursing, first aid, home hygiene
and Junior Red Cross activities:
Because: By a recent act of Con-
gress medical, surgical and dietary
food supplies valued at S35000,00O
were'turned over to the Red Cross by
the government, the supplies having
been purchased for use with the Amer
lean forces. These supplies are scat
tered throughout Europe. many Of
them far from the places where they
are most needed. The prompt and
efficient distribution and handling of
these supplies means the maintenance
Of Il force of trained workers where
The supplies are and where they are
most needed.
Because: Pestilence and starvation
nave gripped many European coun-
tries because of the war. These coun-
tries are unable to cope with their own
difficulties, and the only force organ
lied with facilities capable Of stepping
into the breach and bringing order
from chaos is the Red Cross. Typhus
is sapping the man strength of many
countries, and the American Red Cross
is using every available power to
check it.
Because: The lied Cross must be
prepared to meet emergencies arising
from disasters at home and abroad.
The Red Cross membership must be
maintained at its present high stan
dard. Every enrolment is vote Of
confidence in the past performances of
the American Red Cross and reaf-
firmation of the belief in the principles
for which it has stood in the past and
Its plans for the future.
| The Red Cross, having committed
itself to definite and comprehensive
program, cannot turn back, and to 60
forward it must have as general a
membership as possible and ample
funds to provide for any contingency.

war footing to peace footing, but q
general program has been mapped out,
to be adjusted and readjusted as needs
require, for chapter, division and ma
tional organizations.
Between Nov. and IL the Red
Cross will call it's roll for the third
time and ask the people to give vote
Of confidence in the past performances,
and a reaftirmation of the principles
which will guide its progress in the
future.
The war activities have not all been
stopped, and will not be Atopped until
the last American soldier is home and
able once again to take his place in the
business or industrial world. The SOL
dier's family also must be cheered and
comforted and assisted until he is
able to care for them. No program
can be laid down by the Red Cross
that does not include this unfinished
war work as first obligation.
Ever since the organization of the
Red Cross there have been responsible
tiles which now have become tradi-
tional. These include service to the
standing army and naval forces, miti-
CATION of suffering either at home or
abroad from famine, fire, floods or
great disasters. The Red Cross also
must continue and broaden its work
in the field Of nursing, maintain its
courses in first aid, dietetics and home
care of the sick.
New responsibilities have come with
he war. Higher standards have been
set up by individuals and nations in
regard to human life saving, and pre-
venting needless suffering. In con-
aection with the new tasks these re-
sponsibilities entail, the Red Cross will
,ssist, stimulate and supplement, but
not supplant, local agencies engaged
in the same lines of endeavor.
The volunteer spirit which brought
such a measures Of success during the
war, will be carefully nurtured. We
will need volunteers to conduct the
Third Roll Call and when emergencies
arise we will call for volunteers to
assist II necessary.
The Third Roll Call in the Central
Division will be held to enroll 4,OOO.-
600 annual dollar members for 1920
and to raise 100000 in the five
states in the division. Illinois, Iowa,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska.
Every membership is a vote Of con.
