Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Issue
Challenge to New
England for Match

A challenge to any mixed couple
in the New England States for the
Mixed Team Firearms Champion
ship of New England has been is
sued by Kenneth +. Lee and Ethel
w. Lee of this city, the match to he
shot with rifle. shotgun and revolver
ever regular courses and at standard
targets.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Lee have won
trophies and prizes with all three
weapons and Mrs. Lee has met and
defeated some of the best male rife
shots in the State. Her exhibition
shooting has won her much praise
and her work with the rife is ex-
ceptionally good. MIR. Lee was on
the State rifle team in 1914 and has
his experts badges won with both
rife and revolver. He also was city
champion with the rifle in 1918 and
always finished near the top in the
trap shooting events in this section.
THE reason we are making this
challenge SO inclusive is because we
know that there is not a mixed
team, man and woman. in this State
that can give us Il run for our
money" declared Mr.. Lee. 1T would
be easy to dig up a man to trim me
with a rifle or q woman to trim Mrs
Lee with a revolver or either of US
with shotgun. but without want
ing to boast l will say that I doubt
very much.if man and woman
can be found in Maine to trim us
with all three weapons. or enough Of
the three to win such a match
The terms of the challenge are
contained in the following statement.
signed by both Mr.. and Mrs. Lee:
Hoping to stimulate interest in
the various branches of the shooting
game, which we have followed for
the past five years with varying sue
cess. we wish to challenge any team
composed of a man and woman.
barring only professionals, to a
match for the all-'rOund Amateur
Firearms Championship of the New
England States, conditions to be as
follows:
RIFLE
each Contestant): 10 shots Off
hand position, regular 80 TT. target:
10 shots sitting position, regular 30
TT. target: 10 shots prone position.
regular 80 TT. target: 10 shots prone
position. regular 100 yd.: 10 shots at
clay birds tossed by hand, any rife.
REVOLVER
10 shots at regular ~ yard target;
SHOTGUN
30 clay birds thrown from hand
trap.
Only bullseyes or broken birds to
count, these to count one point each.
giving a total possible score of 100
points per contestant, 200 points per
team. Any rifle may be used in each
event, barring only the use of tele-
scope sights. Any automatic pistol
or revolver may be used not having
a barrel length Of more than IL
inches. and any shotgun may be
used. Match scores must be sworn
to by three reputable witnesses. be-
fore a Notary Public. Matches may
be shot anywhere, scores to be eX-
changed by mail and published in
the newspapers of the States where
contestants live.
The winning team to hold the
Mixed Team Firearm Championship
Of New England until defeated.

II WORLDS TEN
MEN

Now that Henry Ford has been
generally acclaimed as the worlds
richest man, who are the ten rich
est men in the world. and how
many Of them are Americana
What arc the richest families. And
how many of them have you ever
heard of before?
The New York Time. has made q
tabul.tion Of the ten men generally
estimated to be the wealthiest in
the world, adding n more to the
list whose wealth is uncertain. Six
of them are Americans. Two are
Japanese, two are English. and one
is a German. They are:
Henry Ford-s55O 900 900.
John d. Rockefeler-s5oo, ooo,~
900.
The Duke of Westminster
$3.50, 900, 900 to 5000, 0O0, 900.
Sir Basil Zaharoff-sl0o,0 0O,-
600 to s125,ooo, 900.
Hugo Stlunes-s1oO, 900 900.
Percy Rockefeller - 800 ,O00,-
600.
Baron II. Bitsui-s100, ooo. 900.
Baron K. Iwasaki-S100, 000, 900.
J. B.. Duke-s1oO 900, 200.
George F. Baker-$1o0, 900 900.
T. B. Walker-Pcrhaps less than
500, 1000, 900 perhaps as high as
5000, 900 900.
OF course, these are more or less
unreliable estimates, but they are
probably near enough the truth to
afford interesting comparisons,
The richest family group might
perhaps well include the Rockefell-
ers, although John d. made most Of
the millions credited to that notable
house. 1t might include Baron Nit
sui. who is head Of a clan. But
among those whose fortunes can
not be credited to any n tindiyid-
usl but belong to a family arc:
The Rothschilds-S25o, 0o0, ooO
to $500, 100000.
The Guggenheims-S20o, 900 900
The Vanderbilts-s75,0 900 900 to
500, 100000.
The Weyerhaeusers From
500, 100000 up.
The Astors = Estimates range
from less than 500, 100000 to
s7oO, 900, 900; the lower figure is
probably nearer the truth.

thirds of which is credited to A. W

u SUPERIORITY
COMPLEX

The white race is the greatest
race in the world. We admit IT.
America is the greatest country IN
the world. We admit that. The
Chicago Tribune is the greatest
newspaper in the world. q. The
Chicago Tribune admits that, as
we'll; and goes on at some length
to expatiate on the s~o-called RE
eession Of White Civilization" be-
cause the powers in general and the
United States in particular does not
rush into China, half-eoeked, and
kin . few hundred THOUSAND Chin
csc in behalf of civilization"
The Chicago Tribune points with
pside and views with alarm, after
the name of the old-fashionod Po-
litical orator. 1t points with pride
20 the fact that nobody but the
white race has done anything for
civilization in the past -four or five
centuries. 1t views with alarm all
semi-civilized or barbarous lands
viz. to-wit, i. e. all lands not popu-
lated by the white race. 1t would
apparently rush the white ace mill
tary machines en- maRe into China,
for the purpose of cuftfyztng evil
ization at the point of the bayonet.
Many races have tried that sort of
cultivation OF civilization in the
past; but it remains for the white
race to be the most ardent disciple
of this method.
Without blinking the fact that
the banditry which has drawn ths
worlds attention to China const-
tutes a grave situation, and that the
foreigners who are held captives
must be released, the suggestion
that the Powers rush into China in
stanter simply because the govern
ment is weak cen to US bad in
the extreme. Let adj the diploma
tic channels be thoroughly tested
first Let governmental pressure
be brought to bear. Not until
every other means is exhausted
should invasion be resorted to.
China has been exploited and in
ynded by nearly every "civiized'
country in the past century or two,
and also by the "uncivilized" ia
pan. She is a victim Of circum.
stances for whose condition the
only "civlized" race-the Cauca.
sian-is quitcly largely to blame.
Great Britain turned China into an
opium field for the benefit of its
foreign trade half a century ago.
Tho iniquitous opidm traffic was
exploited by the whites The poppy
