LUTHERANS TO AID REFUGEES.
Grand Duchess Olga Cables lutheran
Council for Aid.

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandria,
sister Of the former Car Of Russia,
has cabled the National Lutheran
Council for aid for the refugee Rus
slams in Siberia. The cablegram
comes from Belgrade, where the
grand duchess is in exile at present.
The cablegram reads:
Having met Prof. Morehead aud
heard from him Of the relief work
his commission has done and is do
ing in various countries of Europe,
| can only hope that this good work
can be extended to Russia ,efugees
in Siberia and elsewhere. ~ | also
express, with all my hear, hope
that, after these trying years. the
Christians OF America may, at the
earliest practicable moment, come to
the aid Of my suffering countrymen
in Russia?"
With the cablegram from the for
mer Cars sister a cabled re-
port from DR.. J. A. Morehead on con-
ditions and needs in southeastern
Europe. The report says that the
; eed CT relief and church RECONSTRUCT
ton in the Balkans Is enormous. All
social life is disorganized; the politi-
cal conditions are uncertain; church
life has come to a practical stand
still. In many cases the church has
to be rebuilt from the very begin
ming, as whole villages have been
disintegrated and scattered.
DR.. Morehead has just completed
a visit to Hungary, Roumania and
Jugoslavia, entering Pennsylvania,
Bessarabia and the Bukowina. He
reports that the Lutheran population
in Roumania exceeds 100000, and
that the Lutheran population. Of Jul
goslavia approximates the same fig
ures. In Pennsylvania, he says. the
persecution Of the Lutherans by the
Roumanians has been severe. The
churches have been occupied by the
Roumanian troops. and church SER
vices have been stopped. In places
pastors have been forbidden to pray
the Lords Prayer because the Rou-
manian military held hat the peti-
ton, "Thy kingdom come,' was pol
teal propaganda. Many of the peo-
ple have been deported and are now
crowding the capital Of Hungary, Blu
dapest, and the surrounding villages.
DR.. Morehead requests that the
budget provisions in the coming Lu-
theran World service campaign for
these countries be doubled. Especi-
ally does no emphasize the need for
greater help in Russia. or Russia he
says that the church Is completely
d~isorganized; that there is poverty
OF the most essential institutions and
that only immediate help and the
most effective counsel and sympathy
will bring results.

pions within its g;rasp-that Of neg

cure that almost robbed him of his
crown, when he met Charlie White
at Benton Harbor, Mich, July 9Th,

battle unless he has worked faith
fully at the training stunt for at least
two weeks. Benny worked only four

who is cured. His manager, Billy

and one that might be taken to in
dictate the former presence of quite a
bit of anxiety in the Leonard camp.
Leonards brother Charley was re-
sponsible for Benny getting down to
business for four days to get in
shape for White. Charley went to
visit White five days before the big
match, and without revealing his
identity he saw White put away
three sparring partners with the left

Charley was really worried. He
knew his brother had been taking
things easy, and he also knew that
Benny regarded White as something
soft and easy. When he returned to
his brothers camp he conf1ded to
Gibson that White was in the very
pink of condition and was working
his left hook even faster and more
accurately than ever before. To al
lay the fears of the brother, Gibson
sent Benny into training stunts in
earnest, and Benny did all he could
and accomplished as much as he
could but the champions escape was
narrow at the best.
After the bout Leonard and Glib
son held a star chamber session in
which the training thing was dis
cussed at length. The champ ad-
mitted he was careless and Gibson
admitted he was fooled, and then

10y NpItllul -. fEOWn.J
Johnny kilbane, who has carried
the fcathcrwcight crown for eight
years now, is training for the oldest
battle in his career. Johnny is slated
to NEE Artie Root, n boy from his
own town of Cleveland, and almost
from his own noighborhood. at Cleve-
land, July IS.
Because of conditions Kilbane will
have to slaughter Root to vindicatc
himself in the eyes of Cleveland fans.
It's this way:
Root has been, one Of the busiest
little featherweights In the business
for several years. He ranks well up
with most of the men in his class.
Two or three years ago. about the
time he knocked Willie Jackson out
in the east. he looked like formid-
able contender. During all these
years hrtie's brother manager and
his followers have been hankering for
a bout with Kilbane. The bout never
came off. and by yelled insinuations
Artie's friends intimated that Kill
bane did not want anything Of Ar
ties stuff. kilbane gave as his reas-
ons early in Roots campaign that the
fight would be n poor one; that he
had NO desire to blast Roots hopes
and didn't want to stage hippo
drome affair This reason never went
with Roots friends.
Kilbnne showed a similar attitude
for several seasons when promoters
tried Il, match him with Matt Brock,
another NCleveland featherweight.
When finally forced into match
Kilbane mopped the floor up with
Brock.
Kilbane's showing against other
feathe.Weights Root has tackled gave
the Root supporters something TO

talk about. There were couple Of
close bouts with .Alvie Miller OF Lo-
rain in which some Of the critics, even
gave to Miller the better of the fight.
"Artie is just as good a boy as
Alvic. and look what Alvie did to
him." said Roots friends, and SO .heS
kept 1t up.
Kilbane showed how he had spared
Miller's life in the previous bouts
when he knocked the Lorain battler
cold as picked herring In Lorain
a few weeks ago. 1t was a grudge
fight, Jimmy Dunn, kilbane's former
manager, being in Alvie's corner. (
Not even this exhibition cooled the
ardor of the Root crowd.
If Kilbane goes thru the bout con-
tent to outpoint or hold Root even,
simply because of his lack of desire
to beat the boy ur, the Root crowd
won't be satisfied: rather they will
be more sure Of Roots championship
caliber than ever. So the only thing
Kilbane can do is turn loose every
thing he has on Root the way he did
on Miller.
It's the consensus Of opinion that it
will be repetition Of the Alvie Mill
err affair IT, he does.
There's just this one other interest
ing angle to the fight: <ilbane has
said often that he is about ready to
retire and that when he does he is
going to turn the title over 70 the
boy he thinks deserves it. 1t would
be unique spectacle indeed If Kill
bane should give This fellow towns
man of his a fatherly beating on that
night and then turn over to him the
featherweight crown. It's hard to tell
what the feather. king has up his
sleeve regarding his ring future.

TEN STATES AFFECTED.
Iowa Among Number Interested in
Increasing House Memberships.

BY Associated Press.
Washington. July 26.-Unless the
membership of the house is increa sod
from AS to at least 500. to meet the
increased population shown by the
1920 census. ten states VIII lose one
or more representatives according to
Representative Siegel, Of New York.
chairman Of the census committee
which will frame the new apportion-
ment bill. Those states are:
Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri, which
will lose two congressman each; and
illinois. Kentucky, Maine, MARYLAND.
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia.
which will lose one congressman
each.
Mr.. Siegel explains that II the
house membership is retained q: It's
present figure. 1t will be necessary to
increase the population basis in each
congressional district beyond tho
211,oo0 or major portion thereof now
fixed II this is done, he says, the ten
states named will lose one or more Of
the present districts because their
populations have not increased in
proportion to those OF other sra,es.
On the basis Of the estimated popu-
fation Of 10s,00o,0oo for the whole
country in 1920. an increase Of ap-
proximately 100000 in ten years,
Mr.. Siesel says sixty-five or sixty
six seats in the house must be Great
ed II the ten states are to retain their
present numerical representation.
While precedent warrants the increase
Mr. Siegel declares there Is strong
opposition to 1t on the part OF some
Of the present representatives. while
others favor reduction to as few as
900 members.
Mr.. siegel expects the work of
framing the new appointment bill
in accord with the new population to
begin with the reconvening Of con-
gress in December and he anticipates
that the measure will be passed early
In 1921.
Every decade since 1890. with the
single exception Of 1910. the house
membership has been enlarged TO
keep pace with the growing popula-
ton. Now the house floor is crowded
when all members are present: seats
nearly fiji the chamber; the old in
'dividual desks have peem discarded
and an increase in membership prob
ably will have to be solved by mar
rowing the width of the seats.
Ten years ago the house member
ship was increased from 39l to 4S5
on the basis Of a population Of 91.-
972,266 and the only exception to such
a procedure occurred in 1S40 when 10
congressman We're knocked out by

being fixed at 2S2 after having peen
242 for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept in

ing with the correspondent the plight
of himself and his fellows, remarked
that the expression once current in

Private soldiers bear out this state
ment. "At the beginning of the war;"
one said. the troops were fond Of
their officers, who ate the same food,
carried their own packs, and SHARED
the hardships of the men. But most
of the regular officers were quickly
killed off, and those left were sent
away from the lines for staff and
other duties.
