ANOTHER TITLE FOR DUNDEE

Johnny Dundee, recognized feath- "rweight and junior lightweieebt champion is an unusual person in several ways. Last week at the Broadway Exhibition Club of Brook fyn Dundee easily defeated K. O. Phil Delmont, for which he received 35 per cent. of the gross receipts. While he and Delmont were getting paid a''ter the bout he asked his opponent what he received. Belmont replied that he was getting 1 , per cent Dun dee at once ordered the matchmaker to give Delmont F per cent. of his stipend for the game showing he mad. That earns another title for Dundee.

CHAPTER VIII Mobilization On All Fronts

It now became known suddenly that MT. Clarke Pollard, the famous New York banker and Wall Street fnancier," as the Review called him, was taking an active hand in the plans for the rehabilitation of the ". G. and R. B. Railway Company. And following the transpirAtion of this intell gence. William D. Wilton, president of that organization, sought the assistance of the printers' ink to spread the news of his plans for the expansion of the system as he called it The idea of extending the W c. and R. B. through to Garrick- dale, SS miles beyond the present terminus of the road. caught hold like wild-fire. It was a project that had hardly been thought of, but the gen. jus of w lliam D. Wilton had perceiv- ed its possibilities, and everybody wondered why it remained so long nothing more than an undiscovered potentiaIty.
 Wilton insisted that the Review fur nish him proof of his interview before he would allow it printed. and when it appeared 1t had the Wilton ian approval from initial to final pe riod. He even dictated the opening sentence, which read as follows:
 A Review reporter called on MT. Wilton D. Wilton Tuesday afternoon, at the off ces of the West Gap and Rocky Bottom Railway Compa ny and after some persuasion induced him to make public the following brief outline of his plans for the fu- .ure or the property. and. in fact, for West Gay, Bottom Valley, Lords, Nontgllder, and Superine counties.
 Wilton had the article clipped from several hundred copies of the Re- view which he bought for the pur- pose, and mailed them to all stock holders and bondholders of the com pany.
 Then he started out in an automo- bile and toured the entire territory served by the road, calling person. ally on every stockhoIder, and on every farmer of consequence who night become a stockholder or who might ship his produce of his cattle If his family over it.
 But when ever he mentioned the
 ondholders, he never failed to em
 ahasize the conflict of interest be tween them and the stockhoIders- Tn.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-12-07

bondh elders were in a position to foreclose, he said. He was working tooth and nail to prevent it. If they took over the property, he said, the stockholders would lose every dollar. It was up to the stockholders to use every ounce of influence on the bond hoolders to refrain from foreclosure.
 That meant some influence, too. For instance, there was old Bill Glau- son. Bill was worth S35,000 or S40,- 900, including the value of his farm, and he was growing better off all the time The poorer farmers in the valley looked up to Bill. Many of the more prosperous ones did so, too. Wilton had Bill lined up early in the game.
 Glauson rode into West Gap in a Ford car with one of those attach ments-you know the kind that takes the fore legs of the Ford and the hind legs of a freight car and gets tension truck-or maybe 1t is only ton-out of it. Glauson sold the contents of the truck and dropped in 10 the bank to deposit the proceeds of the sale he had made.
 Burgess around ?" he asked
 MT. Burgess was around. and greet ed so important a customer with po- liteness and smiles
 You fellers gotn' to foreclose on the Rocky Bottom Railway?'' he ask ed, bluntIy.
 You mean the bondholders, Bill? Well, as to that, I don't think a de- ciS-''
 Well. femme tell you, Burgess If the bondholders foreclose, I take my account away from this here bank. and l hear quite some others up my way says the same"

fleets and practical cessation of all naval France

wasting money discarded types Moreover all the nations
except the United States broke and cannot afford to

expenditures In Is when the treaties expire con-
