PEKING CHINA POST
OF AMERICAN LEGION

Indianapolis, Ind, June 11.-A pro-
In China and Japan is the end sought
by the Peking, China Post of the
American Legion, which has written
TO Legion national headquarters here
TO enlist the aid of eX-service men in
the movement. The American Cham
Der of Commerce and other organiza-
tions are working with the Legion in
the project.
In China and Japan, the legion men
declare, the children of American
parents are not accorded as good faci'
lities for education as American
money, through evangelical, medical
and educational work. affords the
natives. The only suitable schools for
American children in the two coun-
tries are those provided by the small
American communities.
The American population in China
numbers $500. exclusive of the ex-
peditionary forces at Tiensin and Pc
king. OF this number, 2,400 are
children. The Peking Post of the
Legion asks that a grant of $50 be
provided annually for the education
Of each American child in schools to
be conducted under American auspi-
ces. The Legion post in Peking was
organized November 49, 1920 and
numbers 10l veterans of the World
War.

PERUVIAN PUBLIC
WATCHING OUTCOME
GOVERNMENT FIGHT
FOR DAILY PAPER

Lima. June 4-The Peruvian govern
ment is now engaged in the publica-
ton of daily nespaper, an unusual
venture in South America. This is the
result Of seizure by the government of
the newspaper. la Presna, in March
last. The council of ministers issued
decree authorizing appropriation of the
newspaper on the ground that IL was
"the center Of a conspiracy" and that
for the past two years 1t had been "a
deliberate inciter Of rebellion and re.
volt"
The attempt of the government TO
control the conduct of the La Presna
has been the cause Of much comment
among Peruvian newspapers and news.
paper men. I'll Comercia. the dean OF
the Lima newspapers has charged in
an editorial that the government has
committed most grave attack
against liberty of thought and against
private property"
There is legal battle ON to compel
the government to surrender the news
paper to its former director. Luis f.
Cisneros. Augusta Durand. owner Of La
Presna, has been a political exile for
more than Is months and is now said
to be in Bolivia.
Senor Cisneros is conducting the le-
gal fight to recover possession of the
paper which is now administered by
an editorial force and business manage
ment installed by the government ag-
ents.
Cisncros has obtained writ from
the Correctional Court ordering the
Prefect Of Police to restore the prep
erty 20 him but the prefec, has avoid
ed ding 81 by notifying the court that
the paper is in tle hanls of the gov
crnmrnt. Cisneros then brought sui,
for a writ in the supreme court Of
Peru, demanding a return Of the prop
city, but this was denied. The cour;
held that il could not yet interfera
Under the appropriations law enacted
about 10 years ago.
Meantime the government has de-
posted the equivalent Of about S55 900
TO the credit of the former owner of
the paper, this amount representing
its value fixed by an inventory.
The pubic is watching the contest
and awaiting the next step with much
interest

Burns Won Title in
1906 After Jeffries
GaUe CrOlUn to Hart

James J. Jeffcries, like Alexander.
reached the point where there were no
more worlds to conquer. For six years
after winning the heavyweight cham
pionship, the California boilermaker
met every boxer with nerve enough to
challenge him, and mauled them all
severely. He disliked the inconveni-
ence Of forever keeping in trim, how
ever, and announced his intention OF
retiring from the ring in 1905, be-
slowing his title upon Marvin Hart.
The present was made after Hart had
thrashed Jack Root in twelve rounds,
at Reno. New.
With Hart the championship was an
easy come, easy 20 bit of property.
He promptly lost it on February %,
1906, to Tommy Burns, q Canadian,
in a twenty round fight at Los An
geles. Burns remained in front of the
pack Of pugilists for almost three years.
In that time he successfully defended
his title against Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, whom he defeated in twenty
rounds, and Bill Squires, of Australia,
who stood up only two minutes and
eight seconds.
During all Of this time big, strap
ping negro, John Arthur johnson, had
been knocking pugilistlc people right
and left and, In his off moments, en-
deavoring to get q crack Mt the cham
pion. But the champion always had
some excuse.
Johnson's manager trailed Burns
around tho United States and to Eng
land, but could not get him to meat
the former cotton jammer from Calves
ton. Undaunted, he kept on the trail OF
Burns and finally cornered him In
Australia, where match with "L'n
Artha' was arranged.
