Sullivan. He took the short end on

Saws Mr.. Brady:

Dempsey isn't the man he was
when he beat Willard at Toledo. He
has had but two fights in two years
and that is not enough. He has
slowed up considerably. He showed
that in his battle with Brennan at
Madison Square Garden. He wasn't
one-third the man that night that
he was in Toledo. He has never met
a really good man and never faced
one the equal of Carpenter. The
Frenchman will beat him just as Cor
bett beat Sullivan. He's too fast and
knows more about fighting than the
heavy hitting Dempsey. Carpenter
is the greatest glove man since the
days of Corbett."

GENERAL FOCHTO VISIT THE ROSEBUD

General Foch the famous French
General, who is at present in this coun
try, and who will attend the American
Legion convention at Kansas City, Mo
next week, has expressed desire to
see the American Indian in his native
haunts. Through Iudian Commits
sioner Burke we understand that it
has been arranged that he will be- en-
tertained at the Boarding School near
Mission.
This will be an opportunity for the
people OF the Rosebud to get first
hand view Of the great French Gen
eral who was in command of the al
lied armies, and there is no doubt that
our people will give the General a
most hearty reception. The 1ndians,
who he comes especially to see, will
no doubt put on some extra entertain
ment for this world famous man. As
vet we have not learned the defidite
date of the Generals visit to the Rose
bud, and know nothing OF the details
Of his entertainment, but we hope to
be able to give some definite announce
ment in our next weeks issue.

Joy RE|CNS IN
CAMP
Lack of Appropriations Means
Few Dry Agents Until une,
But More Ho0tch.

Every day the bootleggers hear
something new that sets them re-
joicing. First lack of funds forced
reduction in the prohibition forces.
and gave them much joy, and now
the small appropriation is giving
them new heart.
MANY AGENTS TO GO.
Orders have been issued to all
prohibition agents throughout the
country, to cut down on their ex-
penses. and ii IL intimated by the
officials that large expense accounts
will have to wait until after July ]
for payment.
forces are practically prohibited from
spending money to obtain evidence as
they have been doing in the past and
in which manner most of their ar
rests have been made. The salary OF
the prohibition officers is so low that
they say they cannot AFFORD to spend
money for evidence and have to wait
three months to be reimbursed.
1t has also been the custom of de-
failing men from other cities to help
out in cities that needed extra-men.
When these men were detailed they
were allowed expenses, not exceeding
IS a day. Now that the appropria-
tion has been almost exhausted. these
men have been ordered back to their
home stations in order to cut down
expenses.
officials of the Prohibition Bureau
say that there is no help to be had
until after the first of the fiscal year
and that In the meantime prohibition
will only be enforced as best they
can with the limited money.
Complaint was also made at the To-
cal office today of the lack of help on
the part of the Anti-Saloon League
Since the advent or the national pro-
hibition act 1t was said. little or no
help has been forthcoming from the
former prohibition party, despite the
fact that they know that the prohibi-
tion forces are having their troubles
in trying to enforce the dry law.
