LOYALTY VS.. COWARDICE.


the celebration of the Declaration of
Independence of these United States
of American, there is to be contest
in Jersey City, between the conten-
ders for the worlds championship in
heavy weight boxing The European
champion meet the American cham
pion.
Georges Carpenter is a Frenchman.
He is a Frenchman imbued with that
wonderful courage that thrilled an
army when German hordes were
sweeping toward Paris in 1914. The
war cry of that French army, man
for man, was "On ne passe pas ici!'
(They shall not pass here!) And that
army flung itself upon the Hunnish
swine with fury that fairly scorched
them with the flame of righteous
warfare.
And like his brethren, Georges Car
pentier donned the sky-blue uniform
to stop the passage of German Bar
barians who took fiendish delight in
torturing old men, raping young wo-
men and looting and burning towns.
Georger Carpenter, with red blood in
his veins, gave no thought to his fu-
ture as a worlds champion, but Wis
ioning the horror of France under
the brutal feet of Germany, HE
WENT TO WAR!
And the proof of that courage and
loyalty and devotion is recorded on
the pages of French history The
records of a grateful French Govern
ment say: Georges Carpenter, a
warded the Croix de Guerre for cour-
age in the face of the enemy on the
field of battle Georges Carpenter
was a flyer in the air forces of the
French army. Night and day he has
secuted the trackless skies in the de-
fence of his homeland and in Kidding
it of its brutal enemies. With devot-
ed dog, that still trails at his heels,
he has launched his plane into the sun
lit blue or the midnight blackness
DOING HIS DUTY IN DEFENCE OF
HIS COUNTRY.
