nave never drawn the sword OF op-
preston. that we have not sought
what was not our own, nor taken all

Plighted Word Warned Tyranny.
For more than century our
plighted word warned tyranny from
half the world; then. when the gauge
was taken up bv mad ambition, men
felt the blow that arm could strike
when freedom answered in it's utmost
might. Across the seas we sent our
hosts of liberty's s'Ns. commissioned

laurels on American graves not less
reverently than We are doing here.
To me. no thought comes with more
of inspiration than this, that now our
Memorial day is become an interna-
tional occasion; that it calls upon the
fortunate free of many lands and
countries 20 help in its observance: {:
and that equally to them and us it is
a reminder of our common troth to
civilization, humanity and everlast-
ing justice.
There are gathered here the ashes
of a great army of those who fought
IN the struggle which preserved our
Union and insured our high place in
the community of nations. Our debt
to them will never be paid. but we
can come. for them and for ourselves.

nation T. the cause of human free

, it's part in behalf of all mankind in
the time of supreme crisis of the
world. We will not overappraise
their sacrifice if we say that, had
they failed. their failure would have
SO weakened the forces of liberty and
enlightenment that these would have
been doomed. in their more recent
world trial, to failure and defeat. \

JACKS GOOD LUCK
TOKENS WEIGH TON
(By Associated Press)

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., June IL
If Jack Dempsey carries all of the
tokens of good luck sent him into the
ring when he faces Georges Carpen-
tier at Jersey City July 3, he will
weigh about one ton. The heavy
weight champion receives from so to
300 letters daily, each conta ming some
sort of trinket which the senders
declare surely will bring him good
luck if worn inside his belt
Good luck pennies of ancient date,
rabbits feet, various medals and min
iature dolls are some of the things
which loaded down postman dumps
into the champions front parlor every
morning. Dempsey has received a
hundred or more good luck pennies,
mostly the gifts of children, from all
parts of the country
Sends Shamrocks
Paddy ]. O'Brien, a Chicago admir-
er of the champion, read that Carpen-
tier received a rabbits foot found in
a Missouri graveyard in the moonlight
by blind negro. O'Brien decided the
foot would bring bad luck, because
something must have been wrong with
the rabbit. So he sent Dempsey a
sprig of shamrocks, suggesting that
he conceal them in his corner for good
| luck.
Dempsey also received a silk belt,
+ made of small American flags, which
Jacob Schoffman, of New York, sent
the champion, with the request that
| il be worn in the arena.
! Since stories were published of the
! injury to one of Dempsey's police
dogs, the champion has received hun
dreds of letters containing offers to
send another pet. The dog was hurt
when an automobile ran over it while
Dempsey was OUT for his morning run
on the road. The dog. however. has
completely recovered and is enjoying
/ the morning runs with the champion

CARPENTER FATICUED;
NEEDS COURT JESTER
TO IMPART CHEER
&c Assoeiated Pressl

NEW YORK, June 11.--Fear OF
entertaining appears to haunt Georges
Carpenter and his manager. In his
eagerness to be in complete trim
when he faces Jack Dempsey on July
?, the French pugilist has, apparently
reached top condition well in advance
of the date OF combat That this
situation is realized by his advisers
may be inferred from the frequent
changes in the announced training
program and, the statement that for
the next week or so Carpenter would
work. when ana how the impulsive
moved him to do so.
Several close observers OF pugilistic
conditioning method have minated
recently that Carpenter was training
at too fast a pace for bout TO be
held in the early part of July and if
a line can be gained from his last
| public work the warnings are not
without basis. While the challenger
| did not indulge in sparring matches
with his partners on Thursday his
| open exhibition of bag punching and
body strengthening exercises appeared
| to produce an impression of fatigue
| out of proportion to the amount of
physical energy expended. The SEES
sion lasted SO minutes and Carpenter
cid not appear to take the work
seriously. Part of the time his atten-
ton was centered on the comment
! and movements of the spectators.
Jaw Says.
At the finish of his exhibition those
who followed Carpenter from the ring
noted that his jaw was sagging loosely
and he wore a tired, haggard expires
sion in marked contrast to the jaunty
air he showed at the beginning of the
afternoons workout
/ Among those who watched the
workout was Boyd Comstock. former
trainer of the University of Southern
Calltornla track teams. Asked regard
ing his opinion of the exhibition he
said:
In many respects Carpenter is a
most remarkable athlete but | should
say right now he is mentally stale If
not physically so. | am not in a posi-
uon to Judge his boxing ability as he
Gid nothing unusual in the ring, but
studied as an athletic specimen, he is
most interesting. To begin with he
has q really wonderful muscular de-
VeIopment from his toes TO his knees,
and should be able to move around
the ring like shadow. From knees
to hips his development is nothing alb
normal from an athletic standpoint.
Looks Like Acrobat.
. considered as whole would say
, that Carpenters bodily developments
, leaned toward that of track athlete
or an acrobat, rather than a heavy
weight pugilist.
1 was more interested, however, in
his apparent lassitude and Indifference
5 throughout the work. This impression
= was heightened by the generally sober
and sombre atmosphere which per
= vaded the spectators and camp re
| tlnue. Everybody spoke in a whisper
and it appeared to have the general
t aspect of a funeral. If | We're hand

Attempt to Dismontle

PARIS, June 1.-THE great Ferris
wheel, duplicate of the great attrac-
ton of the Chicago exposition, erect
ed near the Champ de Mars for the
exposition of 1900 and long since con-
demned for destruction, now stands
like partially dislocated skeleton in

part OF the huge rim.
II is propped by system Of scat
folding that cost nearly $4,000 and
after an expense to the demolisher of
the equivalent of nearly 100000

to remain indefinitely in its present
partial dilapidation.

large sums for dismounting it expect
ed to make a profit out of the old
steel, but finding no buyers is willing
TO stand his loss and let someone else
try.
