MERCER !:'!|'! |: WORLD
WAR HERO, DIES
Kingdom Of Belgium Plunged in
Sorrow as Heroic War Figure,
Courageous to End, Passes

Brussels Cardinal Msrcier. primate
OF Belgium and one of the heroic
figures of the World war, died at the
age OF "A, losing his long battle against
the decline that set In after an opera
ton December 20. He was surrounded
by members of his family, the clergy
OF his archdiocese, and representa-
tive of King Albert, when tho end
came. Already there is talk in Brus-
sells Of erecting a monument in honor
of "the wartime soul of Belgium" by
popular subscription.
Cardinal Desiratus Mercier was &C
claimed as hero priest by the civilized
world because of his defense of Bel
GUM, stricken to earth with the Ger
man advance in 1914. He was in
Rome when news of the invasion
reached him and FASTENED back to
Belgium. His courageous attitude to-
ward the invaders evoked the worlds
admiration. His devotion to his peo-
pie never faltered, even under the
pressure Of threats Of violence to him
self. His famous Pastoral Letter Of
December, 1914, read in every chu-1-.
in Belgium, has been called one of the
most damnins indictments Of tho Ger
man invasion of Belgium and German
treatment OF Belgium people ever
written.

WASHINGTON LETTER

H
country certain senate commit
tees are investigating the investi-
gators. Political observers class
ify the latest Investigations as
"a lot of talk and nothing more.
The Federal Trade Commission
continues to present its family
troubles to the Congress. The
Commission has five members,
three of which are known as
conservatives" and the other
two as radicals These terms
are used to define their attitude
on policies of business organi-
cations. At the beginning of
the Congress there was some talk
of abolishing the Federal Trade
Commission but this movement
has gained little Roadway.
Neither has any serious consid-
GRAFTON been given to any pro-
posals to wipe out the United
States Shipping Board and Tariff
Commission. These indepen-
dent establishments of the Gov
eminent caused more trouble to
the Chief Executive than the
major departments. Commits
sions and bureaus are created by
the Congress and the President
has little or no redress other than
in appointments.

Stribling Is Not
Future Champion
By HENRY l.. FARRELL

NEW YORK, Marcn William
l.. Stribling and his pa bemoaned
their hard luck recently in Miami
when Gene Tunney refused to fight
for the glory of Florida and no cash
1t seems, however, that Tunncy
did William q favor and that cir
cumstances helped them out of q
very bad spot.
Stribling last night won ten
FOUND decision against the frail Jim
my Slattery and walked out with a
big chunk Of the $4,000 that trick
led into Tex Rickard s garden, but
he lost every right he had to be
considered as a heavyweight cham
pionship prospect.
There may be some man lurking
around the corner with the punch
that is going to ruin Jack Dempsey,
but it isn't William l.. Stribling and
certainly it isn't James j. Slat-
terry.
Making his first appearance over
distance in New York, Stribling
barely managed to squeeze through
on close decision, but he perpe-
trated fouls that such finished
master as Harry Greb in the art of
rough work never thought of.
Stribling had all the viciousness
of a champion in his corner before
the fight and between rounds, but
he didn' t have enough punch to
carry out the looks and the conver-
sation that he directed at Slattery.
In only one round-thc seventh
was Slattcry in any danger, and
then he was dazcd by four punches
that were landed after he had been
wrcstled between the ropes by the
huskier and stronger Stribling.
In practically every round Strib-
ling hceled Slattcry with his open
hand and he clbowed and thumbed
the Buffalo youngster every time
the referee seemed to be looki ing
elsewhere. The crowd was against
Stribling from the start.
Stribling, Of course, is mere
youngster just past the voting age,
but he is q veteran of more than
200 fights and is fully developed. 1t
was apparent that he is just as
good Il fighter now as he will ever
be.
He is a great little business man,
however, and it may be that he cares
nothing about titles rs long as he
can get cuts of $S6,000 gates.
