BREEZY NEWS
 ABOUT DOINCS NEARBY CAMP
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7-(Special | Correspondence).- About 17000 reg. ular army nominations, including 34 geerals and all the emergency offic- CTS appointed from the A. E. F. and from civil life. are now held up in the senate by the military affairs committee. At this writing indica- tions were that not a single one of these nominations will be confirmed by the senate at this session, and If any are confirmed it will only be a few promotions to which nobody has raised an objection.
 This information, already anticipat- ed by any are confirmed 1t will only be few promotions to which nobody has raised an objection.
 This information, already anticipat- ed by the officer nominees, has caused great disappointment, partic- ularly so among the emergency of ficers who were nominated to regu- lar commissions after examination and after being passed upon and recommended by various boards. The decisions of the boards was finally approved or disapproved in each in. dividual case by the "big board" headed by General Pershing.
 Among the 17,000 nominations there are about 5000 officers, appointed from civil life or from the lists of emergency officers that participated in the World war. Every one of these nominees, unless confirmed at this session, will revert to civilian status with the end of this session of congress next March f. In other words they will have lost their com missions in the regular army, unless President Harding and his new sec retary of war should nominate them again in the next congress.
 One of the principal things that is holding up confirmation of the 17,O0O officers, is plan in the senate to in Vest1gate the promotions of some of the regular colonels to be generals, and some of the generals of brigade rank to be major generals.
 Charges concerning the alleged treatment of certain general offic- CTS, both with the A. E. F. in France and after the armistice in this coun- try, have shaken the army to it's foundations. Charges are also made of the alleged discrimination prac. ticed against national guard officers in France, and in alleged discrimina

tions against these officers in ap- pointments to permanent commits. sions in the regular.
 All of these charges will be the subject of an investigation by the senate military affairs committee probably before a single one of the 17,O00 nominees are confirmed.
 It is possible, according to some senators today, that some of the nom- inees will be confirmed, and all oth- CTS about which controversies are rag ing will go over to the next congress.
 But the general opinion at this time is that all of the 17,000 nominations will be held up pending an investiga- tion at the next session. Certainly all nominations about which there are disputes and charges will not get through the senate at this session.
 On thing seems certain-that is that the whole list of 34 general of flcers nominated will be held LID un til thorough investigation is made or every one of these nominations at the next congress. Opinion in the senate is that at the next congress new list will be submitted of zen. eral officers, for appointment and promotion, which will probably diff fer considerably from the present list now before the senate military affairs committee.
 Most of the trouble 1as been caused by friends of certain high of. ficers who are not on the list of 34 nominees for promotion. It is charged that some officers who made par ticularly good records In Francs have been sighted by Secretary Baker and the Pershing board or subordinate boards. It is charged that officers who led victorious brigades and divi- sions against the enemy and who in eve"y other way proved their ca- pcGity for h'Sh command. have not aeen recommended for the promo tior they have fairly earned. On the o'heI hand allegations are made that certain officers, have been recon. mended for promotion who i0 not deserve it, and have not earned it, either by service with troops in the face of the enemy or by other con. spiculous services during the World war. In short, "pull" and not merit" has ruled in certain of these cases, according to the charges that have been made to various senators by friends of some of the officers who have not been nominated for promotion. In other cases personal hostility to certain officers by some 'Nemhe~e Of the various recommend ing boards have prevented their pro- motion, according to the charges.
 A similar situation regarding army nominations has not occurred in many years. Nearly always it has been the custom of the senate to confirm army nominations as sent in by the war department and the president, with out question. Some years ago an of-

ficer of the pay corps was nominated and failed to be confirmed for a Ong time. Failure to confirm him held up all promotions in the pay corps for several years.

and have come to him in generous portions from his antecedents.
 Most of Dempsey's early life was spent in the open on a farm but later he alternated by working in the mines except in harvest time when he found it more remunerative to de. vote his strength to reaping wheat and other crops in the grain belt In this way Dempsey kept himself in fine physical condition, the hard labor developing the wonderful mus cles which proved to be such a use. full factor in his winning the worlds heavyweight title.
 Unlike his challenger Carpenter, Dempsey had very little early train. ing for a career in the fighting arena, while the French champion was a close student Of the glove game and an actual competitor when he entered his teens"
 According to Dempsey's own story his first fistic encounter was in an improvised ring at Montrose. Col, when he was about 19 years old His opponent was young black. smith, named Woods. whom he knocked out in the third round. This initial contest netted the champion s25. His next fight also resulted in q third round knockout, Andy Nal. Joy, who had previously walloped one of Dempsey's older brothers, be. ing the victim.
 When he was 20 years old Demp- sey began rowing around. taking on a bout whenever the opportunity of. fered, while between times he re- turned to odd farming jobs or worked as a miner. His first eastern expert. cnce in the fighting arena was in New York city where he met Andre Anderson. Wild Burt Kennev and Lester Johnson. a negro in ten round no decision bouts. This was in 1916
 During the following year Demp, soy knocked out Al Norton and Charley Miller each in one round. Later lac won from Willie Meehan, Carl Morris, Bob McNlister and Gunboat Smith in four round bouts in California and was knocked out in one round by Jim Flynn the Pueblo Fireman" In the following year

feated by Joe Jeannette, the Ameri- can negro heavyweight early in 1914. It was to his credit that he twice sent the negro to the mat for counts of nine.
 But the war was close at hand and his six-round victory over Gun boat Smith on foul was his only important battle before the young Frenchman exchanged boxing gloves for an airplane and machine gun. Exhibitions behind the lines com posed his entire boxing activities un. til 1919 when, shortly after being discharged from the service, he knocked out Dick Smith in Paris. Since that time. his battle with Joe Beckett, of England, which he won in a round and that in which he knocked out Battling Levinsky in four rounds at Jersey City, N. J.. last summer, have been his only contests of importance. The Leyinsky fight is the only one in which Amer. jeans have seen Carpentier in formal action on this side of the water. 1t was fiasco, so far as a cham. pionship test Is concerned. The Frenchman will climb through the ropes today an unknown quantity, so far as the first.hand information of American boxing fans is con- cerned.

Carpenter Hailed As Man of Destiny
CBy Associated Prcss)

NEW YORK, July 2.-Georges Car. pentier, to the French people, is the Man of Destiny" No more do they doubt the ability of this man, decor. ated for bravery during the World war, to defeat Jack Dempsey today, than they doubted the ability of the allied armies finally to overcome Ger many. They have followed the steady rise of the young pugilist from the days when, as a bantamweight, he first gained national note. They have studied accounts of his his tory before that time. In thesr minds, Dempsey will be unable to fell this national hero. just as Ger man machine guns which are said to have riddled his plane repeatedly, were unable to bring him down.
 Carpenters official war record, investigated recently, revealed that the boxer spent IS months at the front. flying a two-seater observa. tion plane. He received the Croix de Guerre and the Metallic Milf. taire.
 The record shows that Carpenter, enlisting as a chauffeur in August, 1914. received a license to pilot q Farman airplanc in May, 1915. He was sent with squadron to the front. remained three mo,&hs and then was assigned to general re. serve aviation as a spare pilot

Rickard Boxing's Greatest Snowman
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 2-"Boxing's greatest snowman" That is the title which George Lewis CTex") Rick. ard, promoter of the Dempsey Car. pentier bout. has earned in the stag ing of several bouts drawing the largest gate receipts in the history of the sport
 Thrown in contact with the boxing game by accident, Rickard. an ac. count of whose career reads like fife. ton, accomplished nearly everything he set his mind on doing and has kept going along successfully, de spite conditions that sometimes male the word quit" seem attractive.
 RIckord waa born in Kansas City. Mo. Ja0. ?. 1871. His father. a millwright moved 10 the PanhauGla of Texas when the embryo pro. wutnr was a small boy. At the age of F years, thrown on his own re- sources with a widowed mother, two brothers and three sisters to support. "TeX" turned to the calling of COW. punching universal in Texas
 Then started the travels which have made this man a "citi2cn of the world" He met success in the cattle business but in 1891 hit the trail" for the Klondike Months ul harship brought fair returns but after year or two in Dawson, Rick ard again moved This time. he drew up n Goldfield. Ney. at the time when the mining craze enEu,fe5 that section.
 But Goldficld was not satisfied with the local activity which the miners brought to that place. Tho town "hoosters" wanted national note and Rickard suggested a champion boxing match.
 The promotion of big enterprises with the aid of virtually no capital has been characteristic of this pros pector who has tapped the gold mines of Broadway as well as of the Klon- dike and Nevada. From his friends he secured enough money to offer Jimmy Britt and Terry McGovern q S30,000 guarantee for championship bout in Goldfield. Coming from an unknown, at that time, the offer was hailed by the boxers and their man. agers as a joke.
 Rickard kept right on. however, and the managers of Joe Cans and Bat ting Nelson were more susceptible to the glint of s30,O00 in gold pieces laid before them. The lightweights fought a memorable battle at Gold. field. The town was advertised ma. tionally and Tex" Rickard became a successful fistic promoter
 Since that time, Rickard has pro noted from q financial point of view, the greatest ring contests ever staged. They have been successes only because of the extraordinary "showmanship" of the man. Always his slogan has been take q chance" |" He astounded the country with his guarantees for the Johnson-J Jeffries battle at Reno in 1910. But his re- ceipts totalled $27OOO0 and he emerged q winner by s1O0.O00. Re- ceipts fer the Willard-Dempsey bout at Toledo July 1, 1919, amounted to $450,000 a new high mark.
