Lew Brown, one of the men who occupied Garcia's corner and the battlcr's manager, stated that Rap Ian foulcd Garcia in the ninth round. We happened to see the blow that Kaplan sent that is claimed as foul. It was low but NOT BELOW THE BELT. It landed right on the line with Garcia's own belt line and we really think that this was the final one that kept the Baltimore boxer on queer street"

Brown states that he wouldn't claim q foul because he would be laughed at. It's q poor excuse for a manager 10 advance anyway, be- cause from the minute the first gong sounded, kaplan was away ahead of Garcia and had tho fight gone on 10 the finish as it had for the first six rounds, there would have been no doubt as to Kaplan's superiority over the Mexican.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-30

Even had We not seen the blow, had it been a right, Garcia would have gone towards Kaplan's corner or that side of the ring to fall on the first drop. Taking the layout of the scene. Garcia gets hit and stag gers to the side of the ring that was on his left. It was on Kaplan's. right. He turned around and weHl down on his back in the neutral corner. It would be almost impos- sbe for him to be hit with a right hook and fall on the side of the ring that he did.

If he had been hit with right chop, as some of the sport writers state, he would have naturally either fallen back. straight down or had svayed to his own right side and fallen on KapIans side of the ring. As if was he fell to his own left side and went down near a neutral corner.

Garcia's prediction that he would "knock him fiat" was reversed on him, but a secret may be revealed about Kaplan who, not speaking for publication, stated that he would knock Garcia out" We call atten- tion to the well timed prediction of the gentleman We quoted the other night that Kaplan would knock out Garcia before the eleventh round.

Another thing that is an actual reason why Kaplan could not have hit Garcia with his right was the fact that as they broke from the Clinch, Kapan's riEhthand was tied ID under Garcia's left and he could not swing it. This is an actual fact that is verified by several others who happened 10 be looking at the fighters when the blow was struck
 When Garcia arose from the first fall, then kaplan went in and shot his right to the jaw and he sent in q tremendous left 10 the stomach that sent the Baltimore boy down again. The first blow, however, was a left to the jaw.
New Britain herald., 1926-06-30

It happened that we were seated at the ring side and saw the blow as it landed. We were seated in the center of the side of the ring with Kaplan's corner just to the left Of us. In the eighth round. both fight CTS were in a clinch with Garcia facing us and kaplan's back to us. Just as they broke out of the clinch, Kaplan sent in a short left hook that caught Garcia right on the button and sent him carecning off to the neutral corner just on our right.

There is glory for a man in defeat especially when he takes it like Garcia took it Monday night. Down six times and vet he rises to be knocked down for the seventh time. Even al that he did not take q count of ten but rose to his tottering legs and stood gaping in the ring looking for his opponent.

FRANCE PROSPERS BUT

While most workers in Europe outside of Rus
STA are facing growing unemployment and low
cred wages, France has that artificial prosperity
which characterizes initiation. While the franc
leaps up and down, prices soar, and spectators
grow frantic or exultant, the workers are being
employed full and overtime
In the present rush of production not only are
the employers speeding up the French workers,
but they have also imported 100000 workers
from Hungary, Italy and the Balkans Many of
these are refugees and glad to leave their own
countries, where the white terror is rampant.
While wages are not keeping pace with soaring
prices, there is little discomfort among industrial
workers. There have been a few strikes to win
increases. But the French worker has his job and,
looking at the rest of Europe he is thankful, al
though apprehensive of the future.
The French capitalist paper, LIE Temps reports
that the peasants are grumbling over the increas-
ed taxation and the uncertainty of the market.
The salaried white collar class has had its stand
ard of living cut by the currency initiation.
Unionization is spreading rapidly.
When sterilization and deflation comes, as it
must, the important question before French states
men well as labor men is, HOW WILL THE
FRENCH WORKERS AND PEASANTS TAKE
IT?
Will they accept the lower standard or will
they revolt?
French revolutionary traditions make the poll
ticans apprehensive.
A French labor economist thinks it probable
that the 100000 foreign workers will be sent
home then and the French workers, in consequence
will not be seriously affected by unemployment.
He further says that only the opposition of the
French workers, peasants and small business men
has held up a loan from Morgan "Our people
say, Look at what the American bankers have
done to Germany, Austria and Belgium. We
don't want to get into the same predicament', he
declares.

Since 1920 the sharp cut in the value OF Illinois
farms has been important cause of the rise
in the ratio of mortgage debt to farm values, al
though there has also been an increase IN the
mortgage debt itself. The value of all farm land
and buildings in Illinois in 1920 was $5,997993,-
$50. In 1925, the report shows, it had fallen to
S4,199,459,312, cut of about 80 percent
The weight of the farm mortgage debt is shown
only for the 1904 farms operated by owners
The value of these mortgaged farms fell from
$775,394,589 in 1920 to $685. 833, O37 in 1925 but
the amount of the mortgage debt increased from
$197,211, Sal to $218,543,788
Figures compiled by the federal farm loan board
when combined with these census figures show
about how much Of the Illinois crops goes to pay
interest on farm mortgages The mortgage debt
all Illinois farms, both owner and tenant-Operat-
ed, amounted to $50285OOOO in 1920. The aver
age value Of Illinois crops in the five years 1919
1923 was $496616OOO. Interest on the mortgages
at six percent thus absorbed on the average about
GOT percent of the value of the crops.
If the total mortgage on all Illinois farms in
creased from 1920 to 1925 at the same rate as the
mortgage on Owner-operated farms it now amounts
to about $56O,OOO,OOO Interest at six percent on
this huge amount requires $50, 100000 a year. The
census shows the value of Illinois crops on the basis
of 1924 production as $447,249928. Interest on
farm mortgages is today in all probability taking

state in contrast with go in the 19191923 period.

Illinois in 1920 and 1926 are:
