with this much poundage on his
frame the champion will have an ad-
vantage OF between Is and 90 pounds
over Georges Carpenter, whose ma
tural weight hangs close around 170.
TIPPED BEAN At IT,.
Carpenter was weighed-in private
several days ago by Manager Des-
camps and Afterwards. at his Man
hasset training csmp. IL was an
nounced that he tipped the beam at
172. When he first landed he weighed
175 pounds, so he has not lost much
weight through his exertions in
training to date and when he enters
the ring with Dempsey he will prob
ably weigh about the same.
His object is to keep his weight as
uniform as possible and go into the
ring strong, weighing as much as Ne
can without impairing his speed. At
115 pounds however, no man OF CIR
pentier's build would lose any speed
in his footwork.
l do not believe the extra pound
age Dempsey will carry will slow
him up in the least. He is the right
build and age now to carry close
to zoo pounds and the extra pound
age should merely lend that much
weight to his punches.
The weight Dempsey carried when
he fought Bill Brennan, compared to
his actual weight today shoys be-
yond doubt that he was in poor
condition that night at the Garden.
The official figures given out by the
boxing commission credited the
champion with but 1ss pounds and
he certainly did not look to weigh
any more.
Today Dempsey weighs about 1877.
which means that he has taken OF
some hve pounds since he started
working at Atlantic City. When he
arrived there he tipped the beam at
Zs2 but he was trifle fat around the
mid section.

PARIS. June s.-Csrpentier win
defeat Dempsey by a Knockout and
the fight will be over very quickly.
Dempsey is the heavier and seems
more powerful than our champion.
ThW say that well-placed blow
from his right will send Carpenter
down for the count.
But, in the first place Georges is
not easy to hit. Remember that he
IL the only boxer in the world who
has come through many combats
without being marked up. There is
no doubt in. my mind that he will
Windy a knockout well before the
twelfth round, and here are my
reasons:
have seen every big tight in
which Carpenter has participated,
and 1 have noticed that his adver-
saries fall into categories--those
who were able to get back on their
feet after receiving one blow from
his terrible right. and those who
were, not. Beckett, Bombardier
wells and all the English boxers
encountered by our champion be-
long to the class OF lighters who
went down aud stayed down for the
count. .
Joe Jeanette, Gunboat Smith and
Frank Klaus are among those who
were not put to sleep by Carpen-
tior's frst punch. But i am GER
tain they would not have been able
to withstand a second smash from
Georges right hand had he deliv-
cred it, He did not do IT, apd now
that several years have elapsed
can tell the secret of why he failed
TO knock those men out.
Though Carpenter has always
carried the power for second
punch for long time his hand was
SO fragile that he did not want TO
put IL over. ......
= It simply hurt him too much. To-
day his hand is all right. He can
double or even triple the terrible
right. His hand and wrist are per-
fectly solid. This is why I am con-
rdent he will knock Dempsey out

The Famine Area.

Though l did not get very far in
terror into the parts of Shantung
where the famine is raging, yet l did
go on train through that section land
saw many of the victims of the fam
inc.
There are no good roads through
that country. When the famine
started, of course all the pack ami
mails were either sold or starved. Now
it is very difficult to get provisions
from one part of the country to the
other, for everything has to be car
ried by man power. Along the rail
road | have seen hundreds of them
lying out in the bare fields hoping
somebody would throw some scrap OF
something to eat from the car Win
dow. They were often out in the
fields trying to pull some little blades
of grass off of some old deserted
grave somewhere, but the fields were
as dry and bare as the palm of ones
hand. At every station there were
thousands of them begging for some
morsel to eat.
Our Mission Boards and the Red
Cross are doing splendid work, even
though it takes lots of food to feed
about 100000 starving people
through an entire winter. Those men
whose families are being fed are
made to work on the roads so trans
portation Of food will be facilitated
With all that we could do for them,
thousands and perhaps millions of
them will starve before the summer
crop is harvested. But every gift
saves some.

Conditions OF Women In China. Foot
! Binding.
| No modern social change can
compare in magnitude and Importance
with the change in social condition
of women in China during the last
few years. All Americans are more
or less acquainted with the seryitude
they had to endure, the marriage for
ced upon their very little girls, the
ownership of women by thier hush
ands, the oppression of daughters-in-
law by the mothers-in law, the almost
unbelievable illiteracy where only one
woman out of many thousand ever
feared to read. the almost universal
custom of foot-binding, and many
others heatheln conditions.
The leaven of the Gospel is
bringing new day, an emancipation
of the women of China. This change
is rapidly going on now. Only Jesus
ever placed women and chiidrens in
thier righful place in society. There
are to be seen many signs of the
breaking up of the servitude and OPP
preston, education is being given
some of the women, particularly in the
mission school. In Cantonese South
China the foot binding is almost dis
continued. While there | did not see
a girl under Is years old with her
feet bound. But in North China the
fight is just being waged. Except the
Christians up there, | did not see
single girl over three years old who
did not have her feet bound. Mission
airy John Lowe is waging an energetic
warfare against it in Shantung.
The women of China are now be-
twean the old era of sevitude and
the new era of freedom, between pri-
son bars and unbridled liberties. This
sudden emancipation brings to them
many many dangers. She now sails
between Scylla and Charybdis. Only
Jesus, the Divine Pilot, can steer her
safely through the rapids on her
straight course to salvation and use

laide Thurston of New York, the audi

of the weather, $l,700 was raised and
this amount coupled with the sum
raised by the $40 dinner will send the
Queen City's contribution well toward
1900. But the Burlington workers are
not to stop at this sum. They will con.
tinue the work till the last hour OF
the campaign.
Good reports are reaching hedaquar.
tiers from many sections OF the state
and there are many indications that
Vermont will show a liberality toward
the sufferers of Ireland that will endear
the name of the state in the minds of
the women and children of Ireland who
viii receive assistance through the gen
erosity OF Vermonters.
The words of Miss Thurston that
'Ireland's cause is humsnity's cause
speak the true situation.
Every Vermonter should consider it
an honor to give to this most deserving
cause, and in giving, honor is sure to be
accorded by those who will be benefited
by the giving.
