affidavits were signed by Maxine
Dempsey, then his wife, but since di-
vorced and Effie Clarkson, his sister.
There was some confusion in the To-
cal draft board over his case, and at
an informal meeting held one evening,
Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his mana
ger, took up Dempsey's situation with
John Hogan, chairman Of the local
draft board At this meeting Demp-
sey was placed in Glass IA upon his
sworn statement of the contents of
the QUESTIONABLE.
The evidence showed that Mrs. Hi
ram Dempsey, the mother of Jack,
was almost entirely dependent upon
him for support, and that he had made
substantial contributions to the sup
port of his father, sister, and brother.
His statements in this regard were not
contradicted.

The fine record of the men who
served as chaplains in the navy, many
of them constantly passing back and
forth through the submarine danger
zone, miniStering to the crews of the

transports, is recalled by the repre-

The striking of these medals is the
realization Of suggestion made soon
after the armistice in the executive
committee of the general wartime
commission of the churches. The
committee approved the proposal and
made it one Of the tasks committed te

form a message of grateful apprecia.
ton from the churches to their chap

JACK DEMPSEY is ACQUITTED
Federal Court Disposes of Much Dis

Prize Fighter.

After trial lasting more than a
week, jury in the federal court Of
San Francisco found Jack Dempsey not
guilty of violating the selective serv-
ice act. The jury was out only ten
minutes and returned it's verdict on
the first ballot.
The indictment charged Dempsey
with knowingly and wilfully classifying
his QUESTIONABLE in order to get de-
ferred classification in Class IA. In
this document, which he signed in Chi
cago in January, 1918, he swore that
his wife, mother, father, widowed SIS
ter and the two minor children Of the
last named were mainly dependent up
on him for support, and had been living
with him for q considerable time.
These statements the government as
serted were untrue.
The evidence showed that Dempsey
received his QUESTIONABLE in Chicago
and had it filed out almost immedi-
ately. His manager, Jack Kearns, an
swered most of the questions, and
Dempsey gave his assent as the an
