Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-08-24

A blue-white, knotted rope Of light
ming burned down out Of the Clouds
and instantly a thunder-clap crashed,
seeming to shake the foundations OF
the earth. This moment Of the break
ing Of the storm, with the strange
growing roar Of wind, like moaning
monster, was pregnant with a heart
disturbing emotion for Madeline Ham,
mond. Glorious it was to be Free
healthy, out in the open, under the
shadow Of the mountain and cloud, In
the teeth Of the wind and rain and
storm.
Suddenly, as the ground quaked un-
der her horses feet, and all the sky
grew black and crisscrossed by flaming
streaks, and between thunderous re-
ports there was a strange hollow roar
sweeping down upon her, she realized
how small was her knowledge and ex-
perience Of the mighty forces of ma
ture.
With blacker gloom and deafening
roar came the torrent Of rain. 1t was
cloud-burst. It was like solid water
tumbling down. For long Madeline
sat her horse, head bent to the pelting
rain. When it's force lessened and she
heard Stewart call for all to follow
she looked up to see that he was start
ing once more. She turned her horse
into his trail.
Rain fell steadily. The fury Of the
storm, however, had passed, and the
roll Of thunder diminished In volume.
The air had wonderfully cleared and
was growing cool. Madeline began to
feel uncomfortably cold and wet. Stew
art was climbing faster than formerly,
and she noted that Monty kept at her
heels, pressing her on. Time had been
lost. and the camp-site was a long way
off. The stag-hounds began to lag and
get footsore. The sharp rocks Of the
trail were cruel to their feet. Then,
as Madeline began to tire she noticed
less and less around her. Her horse
climbed and climbed, and brush and
sharp corners Of stone everlastingly
pulled and tore at her wet garments.
"A gray 8lOOlu SCLSlCu &OWA Ill OuuO ACks
Night was approaching.
Stewards horse was on a Jog-trot
now, and Madeline left the trail more
to Majesty than to her own choosing.
AS black night began to envelop her
surroundings, she marked that the fir
trees had given place to pine forest.
Suddenly pin-point of light pierced
the ebony blackness. 1t grew larger.
Black tree-trunks crossed her line OF
vision. The Light was q fire. She
heard a cowboy song and the wild
chorus Of a pack Of coyotes. Stew
arts tall figure, with sombrero slouched
down, was now and then outlined
against growing circle Of light. And
by the aid Of that light she saw him
turn every moment or so to look back,
probably to assure himself that she
was close behind

moves told her that she had reckoned
too quickly. This move was to put
her firmly aside SO he could pass; and
Madeline, seeing he would not hesi-
tate to lift her out Of the way, surren-
dered the door. He turned on the
threshold. His face was still working,
but the fiame-pointed CLEAN Of his eyes
indicated the return of that cowboy
ruthlessness.

UPTON SINCLAIR
SEES WAR IN
FEW YEARS
Europe Doomed to BREAK Like
Rotten Egg" Socialist.
Writer Predicts.
By FRED j. WALKER,
COSMOPOLITAN News Service.

: SAN FRANCISCO, July 1O.-"I
look for another disastrous war in
Europe in the next few years, then
Europe will break like a rotten
egg," Upton Sinclair, noted Social
list and author, declared today in
an interview.
1.-The United States can seek
nothing in Europe at the present
time, except to try and under
stand what is going on there.
ut would be very unwise Tor
this country to NEEDLE in European
affairs now. We would only be
used by one group or another OF
Quarreling statesmen to further
their interests. All we can do is
| educate ourselves to an under
standing of the trend OF world
events"
Sinclair declared that he believed
this next war would end in u
revolution that would sweep capital
ism" from Europe, leaving organized
labor in control of factories and the
industrial fabric.
"The financial system of Europe
is broken down now as a result
Of the war and the Ruhr dead
lock. And all of the nations that
should be balancing their budgets
are not doing so.
France, the victor, has not
balanced her budget one single
year since the war ended. To meet
the deficit, bonds and more bonds
are being issued. When the credit
ors become insistent for their
money. the financial kings will
again precipitate a bloody con-
flict."
Sinclair declared that organized
labor Of Europe would make none
of the mistakes that Russia made.
Labor will have the technicians
on their side when it assumes
control Of the fragments OF the
present governments. And it
should be able successfully to
manage industry" he said.
America should study the evolv-
ing democratic forces and give them
aid, Sinclair believes.
THE best way we can do this"
he said, sis to iberatize our own
government. Every time we NEEDLE
in Europe we NEEDLE on the
wrong side. That is one of the
ills that comes of reactionary
policies.
"Of the liberal statesmen in the
United States at the present time,
La Toilette has the best chance Of
being elected in the forthcoming
presidential campaign"
The Washington times., 1923-07-10

smelling the flowers in the air,
are great events.
SUCCESS NOT ALL.
Many a man grieves because
he isn't success"
Results amt all that count.
/ love that verse that says:
"FOr when the one great Scorer
Comes to write against your
name
He writes not that you won or
lost,
But how you played the game"
Climbing up to fame and for
tune by ladder Of busted hearts
and crooked deals amt got the
thrill of success in it.
The unknown who sacrificed
ambition for duty and preferred
remaining unsung and unsought
by the side of those who needed
him more don't feel like a fall
ure. Love draws more interest
than dough!
Before. you condemn q guy for
not making good be sure to find
out whether he had principle and
courage enough to turn down a
crooked chance.
Everything; is comparative.
When your lot seems particu-
larIy bad, don't compare It with
somebody's that is better, but to
somebody's that is worse.

sikh KAYOS MILES IN
SECOND ROUND OF FIGHT
Battling One Lands Final Blow of
Brief Bout Coming Out
of Clinch.

Paris, July 9.--"Battling" Sikh yes
terday knocked out Marcel Miles, a
French heavyweight pugilist, in the
second round of what was to have
been a 15-round battle. Miles in
May was knocked out in the eighth
round by Georges Carpenter, the
light heavyweight. He was consid-
cred by followers of the ring to have
been Frances best heavyweight.
Silks hard head and his STEEL
ribs proved immune to an onslaught
from Miles in the first round. The
white man carried the battle to the
Negro throughout this session, with
Sikh bent nearly double in crouch
and assimilating everything Miles
handed out to him. The Judgment
of those about the ringside was that
Miles was sure to be the winner of
a one-sided contest.
Over-confident from his showing,
Miles came from his corner at the
clang of the gong for the second
round as If 1t was his intention i'm
mediately to finish off his opponent
and have the affair ended. The shifty
Senegal man, however, went into a
clinch with Miles and pushed him
into corner. Then, as they broke
away, Sikh swung his left to the jaw
of the white man. Miles went down,
face foremost, as though he had been
struck with an AK.
Before the fight Sikh was enraged
over the decision rendered yesterday
by the Judge Of the civil tribunal,
giving Edmond Lapart an injunction
forbidding the promoters to pay over
to Sikh any part of the purse or
stakes accruing from yesterdays
match. The black man because of
the courts decision was fighting
merely for glory"

SPALLA is WISE ONE
italian Boxer Would Rather Be Big
Toad in Little Puddle Than Vice
Versa, He Says.

Milan, July 9.-Ermino Spalla, the
new heavyweight champion of
Europe would rather be big frog in
a small puddle than small one in
a large pond.
1t was for that reason that he re-
turned to Italy to risk his pugilistic
chances with his cpuntrymen, there
by getting nearer fame and fortune,
rather than to keep fighting an up
hill fight to the top amongst the
mass of American heavyweights.
Il make more money in Italy,
Spalla said, than ever I dreamed of
in America. 1 would get $1,000 over
there for going in the ring with big
men, and that had TO last me some
time. Here I make it right along and
the battles are not so hard"
He said he hopes some day to meet
Firpo and Dempsey.
