(Preston News SerNice.)
And now comes the report from dis
tant eastern centers that Jess Willard,
big, gawlly and 40 years of age, is to
meet Jack Dempsey in match for the
heavyweight supremacy.
1t appears to he just another subter-
fuge to waylay and sidetrack the Wills
Dempsey special which is racing for
ward to fight of international proper
tions, with the pulse of the public on
the throttle. Who wants to see the big
Kansas City dub in action? All that
he ever had to remind one of cham
pion is his size. And Willard, himself,
has admitted that he doesn't believe
that there is anyone who can whip
Dempsey in the ring. But he gives as
his excuse that he wants a chance 70
redeem himself before the public.
Think of it! He has never been
in the good graces of the public, in the
first place, he only won one bout of
any consequence and that one was
from willy Jack johnson down in sunny
Cuba.
Victory Tainted by Rumors.
People of the race will never forget
that battle, when the famous globe
trotter, escaping this country with the
long arm of the law reaching out to
grab him, travelled to Spain, France,
Mexico and sundry other foreign coun-
tries before he gave himself up.
And the fact that he was travelling
so fast with the heavyweight belt
dangling from his side proved n thorn
in the flesh of his numerous white en-
emies. So a match was finally trumped
up in Cuba.
1t took Willard twenty-five long
rounds to knock out the soggy, over
weight Johnson; and at the time, the
clever champion was nothing but n
shell of his former self. Johnson had
just come through wild period in
which, it is reported, wine, women and
song played no small part. Be that as
it may, Willard finally won and the
American sporting public went crazy.
But when unsavory rumors of fixed
match began trickling back to this
country the gullible public, as quick to
"razz" as to praise, demanded that
Willard show some more action. He
complied. The result was quick
knockout by Dempsey at Toledo.
Dempsey was fighting everyone un-
til he won the belt. Then he suddenly
went into his shell and with hls> man.
ager, the two Jacks formed a perfect
relay team, and they are the men with

One of Reventlow's articles accused
President Wilson of planning to crush

DR.. Michaelis referred to the aBsas-
sination of Rathenau as a most deplor-
able piece of fanaticism, but he ex-
pressed confidence that there was no

the republic was the best possible form
OF government for Germany at present,

on the differences between monarchis-

very definite guarantees, introduced
without bloodshed and in accordance
with the wish of the majority Of the
people, might eventually be found best
for Germany. He said that the real
agltators inside the monarchist party
were very small group, and he added
with emphasis that he regarded any
German who would attempt to over
throw the government at this very diff
hcult period as an enemy of his
country.
