BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Aug.
31-Billy Miske didn't come to Ben
ton Harbor to take a licking and pick
off the losers end of a purse.
Lurking in his head is the glim-
feling hope that he may knock him
self into title on Labor Day. He is
confident of staying the 10 rounds
with Jack Dempsey because he has
done so twice before, once at st. Paul
and the other time at Philadelphia.
That was back in 1918.
As is the case with all contenders
who meet champions, he is taking
gambling chance that at some mo-
ment in the fight his big opportunity
will come and the dope will be re-
versed in his favor.
His two lessons from Dempsey
have given him confidence, for he
stood the gaff in both--a thing few
others have done.
Miske's new found health is the
chief buzz of conversation at his
training stand. The camp is located
three-quarters of a mile up he road
from the battle arena where Demp-
sey is banging away at Bill Tate
and panama" Joe Cans. 1t is the
same layout where Champion Benny
Leonard prepared for his fight with
Charley White.
Trains in Shade
Ike Bernstein, Miske's trainer is in

The high mortality of infants Zone
out of three) is due very largely to
the fact that the baby cannot select
its own food, as does the adult, but
must take what is given it. Often the
food is inferior in quality. or even
positively poisonous.
How can the mother tell whether
the baby's food is right?
One way is to watch the actions.
If they are regular and natural and
the baby is gaining in weight, the
food is all right. Constipation and
diarrhoea both indicate indigestion
and should have immediate atten-
ton.
To correct indigestion and regu-
late the stomach and bowels the baby
specialists have perfected gentle
laxative and regulator called "Baby
Ease" laxative. which the mother
may obtain, with full directions, at
any drug store. "Baby Ease" is an
invaluable aid to the baby's health,
for emergencies.
Do not use the strong and irritat
ing laXatives such as are commonly
used, nor anything containing opiates
or powerful drugs. They irritate the
delicate organs and lead to chronic
indigestion and constipation. "Baby
Ease" laxative is a corrective and
regulator as well as a gentle laxa-
tive, and will promptly and perma-
nently correct indigestion, collie,
diarrhoea and constipation. The
mother should then look carefully
to the purity, freshness and whole
someness of the baby's food, the
cleanliness of the bottles, ETC., and
should consult the physician if the
child does not steadily gain in weight.

GERMANS Still
BANNED BY u. S.
State Department Con
stantyl Besieged by
Inquiries

WASHINGTON, August 81
MANY Americans of German or Aus
trian descent throughout the Unit
ed States, are constantly inquiring
of anv source of information wheth-
err the time has yet arrived when
their relatives and friends in those
countries can come to America and
what restrictions are imposed upon
such immigration.
Some are patiently waiting until
all restraint is lifted when the Unit
ed States and Germany Shall have
made peace. Others betray impa-
thence because nearly two years have
elapsed since the termination of hosi
tilities and the ban has not yet been
raised.
Those who appeal to the state de-
partment have been informed that
citizens of Germany and Austria may
obtain admittance to the United
States only through circumstances
of compelling appeal" under the
regulations laid down by that de-
partment. They are told that wartime
restrictions against enemy aliens still
hold good and that Germans and
Austrians must apply to American
diplomatic or consular agent abroad
or to the state department direct for
wise of passports permitting temper
arv admission to this country. I'm
der unusual circumstances the pass
port may be continued indefinitely
after tho aliens reach the United
States.
Germans and Austrians who may
obtain authorization to enter the
United States must fall within the
following classifications
Business men who can prove con-
clusively that their visit will be of
advantage to American business IN
terests. In such cases letters OF
recommendation must accompany the
application from an American firm
establishing the necessity for the Wis
it.
Aged parents of naturalized citi-
zens when it is clearly proven that
such parents are dependent upon
their naturalized American children
for their support.
American born women who have
married German or Austrian citizens.
Relatives of naturalized American
citizens who can prove their depend
ency upon such citizens.
Service in the German army IS
held to preclude admission Of any
German citizen who might claim
right of entrance under any OF the
foregoing circumstances.
Because of the absence from Ger
many and Austria of American diplo-
matte and consular officials pending
the establishment of peace between
the United States and those coun-
tries German and Austrian citizens
find it difficult to obtain an Amerl-
can wise for a passport. Those de-
string to visit the United States must
either 90 to a country in which there
are American diplomatic or consul
lar representatives or must communi-
cate directly with the state depart
men in Washington.
Only So Germans and 53 Austrlans
were admitted to, this country In
1919, the first year following the
world war. In 1914 the total num-
Der of German immigrants coming to
the United States was 35,734 and the
total of Austrians was 278,152.

the Bay of Biscay. So much for his
stand on the Espionage Bill. If his
views had been sustained a success
full prosecution of the war would
have been impossible and hundreds
of thousands of Americans would
have been sacrificed.

can give him any kind of a work
out, is the chief problem. There is
a whole flock of them there to work
on, but none of them hardly meas
ure up to the mark. Jack Heinen, an
ex-gob and the biggest of the lot,
usually gets floored two or three
times daily Heinen was in Wizards
camp at Toledo and he has boxed
Jack Johnson. He says that Miske is
the new Stanley Ketchel with the
combined punch of Jack johnson
and Jess Willard.
Miske makes good appearance in
, his workouts. Wearing a padded
headgear he bounces into the ring
like lightweight and begins to sock.
If he fights that way on Labor Day
Dempsey is going to be both surpris-
ed and pleased. The champion has it
figured out that Miske is going to
pull and haul'' when the Labor Day
diRgdong comes off.
Miske is the picture of health now.
He has had a slight kink in his spine
since boyhood. 1t has handicapped his
ring career in the past. Recently St.
Paul specialists jiggled the trouble
some misplaced cartilage back into
its normal position.
An Inch Taller
BILLY hasn't really grown since
then as some have believed" says
Jack Reddy, Miske's manager. HE
is now able to stand erect and it has
increased his stature about an inch.
Also he has gained about 20 pounds
in weight He is living testimony
of the chiropractic treatment for spi-
nal trouble"
When Miske boxed Dempsey at
St. Paul he weighed 178 pounds and
176 1-2 at Philadelphia There is no
question but that the Miske of two
years ago and Miske of today are
very different individuals.
He does not deny that he begged

ism:
First. He opposed the selective

way in which an army of sufficient
size could be raised in the given time.
It was fair and just, selecting the
poor and rich alike. If Mr.. Hardwick
had succeeded in his contentious we
would probably by this time have
raised 100000 men. In fact we could
not have raised sufficient army by
the volunteer method.
Second. He opposed the Espion-
age Act, which provided for censor

tiers. Provided we had raised q suf-
ficient army, what would nave been
the result. if he had had his way. Mr..
Hardwick says in substance, go

More Than 500 Radicals
Now Await Deportation


WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-More than
500 Russian radicals remain to be de-
ported, it was said to-day at the De-
partment Of Labor. All except forty
of these are at liberty on bail, but
the others are held in confinement at
Deer Island, Boston, and Ellis Island,
New York, as they are regarded as too
dangerous to be allowed at liberty even
temporarily
Delay in deporting the Russians was
explained at the department to be due
to refusal of the Scandinavian coun-
tries to receive the deportees and to
the closing of the frontier between
Finland and Russia.
Negotiations between this country
and Esthonia looking to the sending of
the Russians home through Esthona
soon are to be resumed, officials said.
