Reports from the United States that
sporting circles there were inclined to
believe there was foundation for the
charges made by Battling Sikh induced
the champion to-day to deny fatty that
there had ever been a frame-up.
Tn my long ring career" said Car
pentier to THE NEW YORK HERALD cor
respondent, II have never been impN
Gated In such dirty business as engaging
In frame-up and 1t would be a pretty
late day to start such stuff Not once
before or during the fight did l ever
speak a single word to Sikh, and I am
greatly surprised that the press should
be willing to give the matter such pub
licity."
Descamps declared that Especially
when II comes from such an irresponsi-
BILE source. THE NEW YORK HERALD
cannot make It too plain that neither
before nor during the fight was such
an agreement ever thought of so far as
we were concerned. The fight looked
about the easiest thing Carpenter ever
signed for, and II was partly through
GeorgeSs carelessness that Sikh hap
pened to land the chance blow that
dazed him and ended In the decision"
Battling Six has been advised by M.
Albert Sarraut. Minister OF the Colonies,
to return to his native Senegal. There
is a strong demand that a thorough
Investigation OF the charges be immedi-
ately instituted. If the charges are sub
stantiated, IL Is stated, necessary steps
should be taken to purge the boxing
world world Of q persons who are in
volved in the allegations.
Hellers and SIKH 'uere brought face to
face to-day. where ne Senegalese re-
peated his charge thh dellers instructed
him to lie down in the fourth round.
Hellers strenuously contradicted Sikh,
asserting he had always told the negro
that he would win.
Sikh also asserts that during the
clinches Carpenter kept saying: Won't
you lie down. SIKH"
AS for Carpenter he displays his
broken hands as proof that he was doing
his best to knock out Sikh.
Carpenter also says he is eager TO
fight Sikh again as soon as his hands
are all right.
One OF the strange features OF the
new "affaire" is that Sikh and Hellers
have become reconciled. and Sikh says
he doesn't wish him any harm.

BY X. C.. B.

DEAR X. c. B.-A long time ago there was
a lad OF sixteen, q big lad for his age who
was very. very foolish. He would keep late
hours and his mother would scold him and
sometimes cry. The lads father was an in.
valid. There came the first time when the
lad stayed out all night and did not go home
until the following afternoon. When he went
home his mother scolded him severely and.
because he was foolish. he ran away.
He landed In Canada and, after a while, the
war came and he Joined the Canadian forces
under a fictitious name. In France, while on
scout duty with his patrol, he was wounded
and his arm had to, be amputated He was
discharged and now he has returned to his
old neighborhood. but has not been recognized
He has changed lot. Near his mothers
home just recently he saw his mother on the
street in mourning and he knows that his
father is dead.
Now, X. c. B.. this lad wants to go back to
his mother, but he is afraid. for he knows that
she is in pain over his fathers death-afraid
that ii she sees him minus one arm and no
longer the boy she loved that 1t will hurt her
all the more.
Please give this lad your advice. for l am
the lad. CHARLIE.

FRIENDS IN NEED
By s. z. kISER.

THIS morning Thompson called on me;
l. | hadn't seen him for year;
"Its good to shake your hand" said he;
You're rising mighty fast, l hear
And lookin younger every day!
mean it! Gee, it's great, old man,
To find you we'll and happy-say,
| wish you'd help me, if you can"
And then he told his tale of woe;
You know, of course, how such things go.
IRON Butterfield letter came
Il wondered what had made him write;
He spoke about my spreading fame
took the morsel with delight
But, following that bit of goo,
He asked if l could be induced
To recommend him where he knew
Ny hghtest word would be boost;
"Ill never cease to do my best
But why go on? You know the rest.
MAUD CLIFFORD rang, just after lunch,
VV1 And had them call me to the phone;
She greeted me as Honey Bunch
And there was honey in her tone;
| think I sweled with pride until
Her voice became a little sad;
They'd iunked the show and changed the bill,
And could | cash check she had?
She'd pawned all that she had to pawn
You understand, so why go on?
T WONDER if by any chance
i Some one will come to me, some day,
With friendly candor in his glance
And something good to toss my way.
How strange if any one, instead
OF writing for a favor, wrote
To help me to step out ahead
And claim good things that seem remote?
If that should ever happen, |
Would lay me calmly down and die.

Are We OUer-ReguLated
In This City?
By BILL PRICE.

Judge MATTINGLY, of the Police Court, believes
Washington is handicapped by too many police and
park regulations and too much red tape He made
this announcement in dsmissing man arrested by
park policeman for trying to sell weekly publ
cation on public grounds
every time turn around" the Judge is quoted
as saying 'we step the tail of regulation that
makes it a crime to look at the Washington Monu-
ment your left shoulder" He says that regu-
lations thick they conflict and fall over each
other
Parks and public grounds under the supervision
of park policemen, controlled by Colonel SHERRILL,
superintendent of public buildings and grounds. It
is probable, of course, that overzealous park police
men do annoy the public, just regular cops may
go out of their way to poster people about little
things. Neither Colonel SHERRILL nor Chief
SULLIVAN, of the police department. desires to see
his men lay stress alleged violations of a petty
nature and would much prefer to have them devote
their energi to serious violations. But regu
lations are made to enforce, and ardent police Of
fcers feel that it is their duty to chew to the line"
Judge Mattinglys criticisms, however, worth
more than passing thought. He is not the only
who thinks that Washington is over regulated and
over red-taped. Regulations the outgrowth of
statutory authority conferred by Congress upon the
District or Federal Governments to prohibit certain
things. In great many instances they clearly over
step the authority of Congress.
The District government is burdened by nnumer-
able regulations that many years DID, which inter
lap and overlap each other New regulations are con-
tinually added but old and obsolete seldom
rescinded or amended.
If the Commissioners find time to do so the
question of the appointment Of commission
vision of regulations is worth considering. This
might get rid of lot of pestiferous inhbitions that
out of date unfair, bring about a simplifca-
ton of regulations understandable to the general
public, and lead to better enforcement of laws and
regulations that of greatest Importance to the
welfare and beterment of the community.
Too much regulation begets lack of respect and
leads police officers to bother with minor infractons
that amount to nothing except permitting
hbition of authority.

COnfiscating the Nations Air.

W1 HEN we seem to be getting
" along nicely with the laws
that we have, some new
invention or new situation de-
mands an entirely new set. It is
very upsetting.
Lawrence La Tourette Griggs,
founder of the American Flying
Club, declares that so long as the
aviator is at the mercy of any
landowner over whose property
he chances to fly. ard-headed
business men will not invest CAPT
tai in developing aviation. He
urges that Congress amend the
common law and take over for

country.
When a poor man has struggled
! for years to buy little house on
the installment plan, and feels
that he owns not merely the COX
100 lot and the house, but all that
nice clear air above it, right up
to the stars, is it fair for Con-
gress with it's long arm of power
to reach over and sweep it all
away from him.
When the owner lies awake at
night hearing the interest falling
due on the mortgage, he is com
forted by the thought that those
million tons of air resting on the
roof belong to him. When he is
| finished with all the air he needs,
he knows that he can will this

That Russian MOneY.
n ENATOR BORAH reno

q ENATOR BORAH renders
~ useful public service in
pressing his investigation
into the spending of $187, 100000
of American dollars by the So
called Russian Ambassador.
If Mr.. Borah gets to the bottom
of the little story, which probably
he won't-for it's we'll protected
it will be found that the many
millions that American taxpayers
provided for "poor Russia and
her new government" got no
farther than Wall Street.
There were gentlemen down
there fools enough to trust the
Car and his agents. They held
Russian notes and promises to
pay that they would gladly have
sold for so cents on the dollar
or 10 cents. Then the great
hearted American people, when
Russia was trying to be a good
little republic, poured out cash
which was used to pay the debts
of the Gar to the gentlemen of
Wall Street.
There are many ways of
making fools of the American
people. The Russian Ambassador
represents one Of those ways.

4 GRUESOME picture oul

u graphic cartoonist presents
- herewith. Be brave and
study it in detail. Then temper
its story to your spirit with your
own fine thought.
You will easily recall the much
worked slogan which was used so
effectively in appeals for the va
rious Liberty and Victory loans
and the many other drives which
undertook to make a blend of
patriotism, philanthropy and
money so that the blend might
duly spell successful war.
That slogan was: "Give until it
hurts"
That slogan is the key to our
cartoon. Also it explains the ca
gerness with which the country
will spend the necessary time,
money and energy, even four
years after the armistice, to
bring to book the soulless ghoul,
the profiteering patrioteer.
The Department of Justice, the
Congress and the country are
equally determined to visit con-
demnation and punishment upon
those found guilty of converting
into private profit the public
agony Of war.
Also, incidentally, it is hoped
that many millions of dollars will
be recovered for the United States
Treasury. However, this will
never recover the precious lives
which went into the murderous
hopper fed by grim, devouring
War.
To the profiteering patrioteer
our heroic boys represented only
so much opportunity to coagulate
and convert life blood into miser-
able dollars. And the American
mother-we have just observed
the day sacred to her-SHE in
deed might GIVE until it hurt.
AS for him, inhuman hog, HE
TOOK when it hurt-her and all
of us.
An ugly and a painful theme.
At least let it contribute toward
our determination to keep Amer
lea strong for peace and for
all the constructive work and
friendly relationships which make
for peace and orderly progress.
