and Cupid ran race today at the
convention of widows and widowers.
Two hundred men and women, who
range from 40 to IS years Of age
were young once more.
The gathering, which was held in
Washington Park, was the result of
the hard work of Miss Marceline
Stokes, social worker, and object
matrimony.
Miss Stokes imposed one condition
on those who joined the widows and
widower's club-they had to affirm
that they fulfilled their marriage
vows and lived with their chosen
mates until death did them part.
Members of the club joined because
they were weary Of spending their
last days unloved and lonesome.
Yes. said Miss Stokes. 1.-The clut
has been a success. Already eight
marriages have resulted from ouI
!, little gatherings and more are in the
ofing."

MANHASSET CAMP
BUMPS INTO FATE
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

ing camp.
Carpenter, Journee, Joe Cans and
Charley Ledoux started from there
this summer and ran into fates Of
Biffff.
johnny Wilson, after his up and
down experience as the middleweight
titleholder, should never hirt with q
ink, but he seems unafraid.
The worlds champion of several
states has been working at Carpen-
tiers country estate for a week and
he looks to be in good condition. He
says he weighs 160 pounds. He also
says he will knock Bryan Downey
out next Monday afternoon in Jersey
City.
Downey, the Ohio boy who has
been within claiming distance of two
titles in the last few years, has not
worried about weight. His troubles
center around a battered nose. His
nose is healed now, he says.
The no-decision fight for the title
is causing little or no agitation IN
New York. Very little is heard of 1t.
Jack Britton, the welterweight'
who has been playing handball with
Downey at their gym quarters, is one
who regards Columbus boxer as q

Britton admits that II Downey had
known a little more some time ago
in a Canton ring the welterweight
title would have changed hands.

FOR AMERICAN LIFE
LOST IN LUS|TAV|A
By HERBERT w. WALKER


(stafe Correspondent United Press)
WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. 29.-
Germany must pay for the American
lives lost on the Lusitania and satisfy
all other claims Of the United States
and it, citizens for war losses caused
by the ex-kaiser's government before
German property now held by this
government will be returned, Thomas
w. Miller. alien property custodian
said today.
The present German government,
Miller pointed out. has agreed to this
in the new treaty with Germany. but
he emphasizes that no steps will be
taken toward the return of German
property until actual payment has
been made Of all just claims by the
Ebert government.
The American claims against Ger
many, including indemnity for de-
pendents of those who were lost
when the Lusitania was sunk, total
$300,000,000. In addition, Germany
owes the United States $250,000,000
for the maintenance of the American
army of occupation.
The value Of German property held
by the alien property custodian ia
now about s4O0.O00,000 due to de-
probation Of securities and due to the
fact that some of the holdings have
been returned, Miller said. About
s150,OOO,000 of the seized property
has been back as the result of court
decisions. The state department, 1t
was learned today, is now at work on
compilation of all claims against
Germany. Most Of the Lusitania
claims already have been filed by
families Of those who were lost in the
great sea crime, which was in large
measure responsible for Americas
entering the war.
