For Saving Boy

Los ANGELES, July q. W.H -

of Los Angeles, died yesterday after
a six weeks fight against the effects
of shock and illness contracted in
the rescue of small boy from
drowning at Palm Springs last

nois football player, leaped fully
clothed into the swimming pool at
Palm Springs, saved the boy and
barely reached shore before he col
lapsed. He was eOnvalescing at the
time from an influenza attack, and
his illness was complicated by the
shock and exertion of the rescue.

Lesson on Frontiers
The League of Nations Committee
of Action recently published in
Paris the first complete figures of
the wars real cost. These stats.
ties show losses to all armies of
1916, 900 men killed. In addition
it is figured there was birth reduc'
tion of 20,s50,0O0 and an increase of
mortality directly traceable to the
war and its privations of 6,0l5,00O
making the total loss nearly 81 mil
lions.
France learned as her greatest les
son from the war, the necessity of
making her frontiers so strong that
an enemy will smash up its army in
attempting to force its entry. That
is why the government has been able
to consecrate annually for the build
ing of the eastern frontier fortified
tion system more than it devotes to
public instruction.
When Germany made a feint to-
wards the French frontier in August
1914, France, anxious to avoid war,
withdrew its troops 10 kilometers
back along the whole border. That
was followed by German invasion
in seven points even before the Ger
man government had officially de-
clared war on France.
A German column coming through
Luxembourg came into French ter
rtory until stopped by the French
forts of Longwy.
A detachment of German cavalry
passed the frontier at Cirey-sur-
Vezouze and occupied for several
minutes the village of Bertrambois,
more than a mile inside French ter
ritory, until driven out.
A company of German cyclist
troops attacked a customs house oc-
cupied by 90 German customs men,
who returned the fire and drove the
Germans back with injured on both
sides. These were the first injured
of the war.

AL MELL0 AGAIN
 DEFEATS DUNDEE
Lowell Scrapper Pins Second
 Defeat on Welterwei8ht Champ

Boston, April IS R-A Meilo, rugged Lowell welterweight, today appeared strongly entrenched as the logical challenger for Joe Dundee's title as a result of his double vic tory over that game but slipping champion.
 Dundee has accepted Eddie Mack s $G0,0O guarantee to defend his title in d bout which the Boston Garden plans for an early June date and Me.Io's win, the second he has gained over the titleholder in three months. has apparently assured nm the role of the party of the second part in the outdoor battle for the welterweight title.
 Though last nights Mello-Dundee slugfcst was not as hot as the lrst enc, the Lowell boxer proved that the champion did not have enough ring lore to defeat him. Mello won because he was able to slip inside tf Dundce's guard, hide his head in a safe spot under the champions chm and escape unpunished after whaling 1ho Dundee midriff with his terrific left.
 Mello had last nights fracas won when it reached the sixth round and during the remaining time. Dundee tried vanly to get his jaw in line for a paralyzing right hook. The title holder was as game as champion could be, but Mello's bobbing and weaving style was ono that he could rot solve.
 Dundee's effort was admirable. Tn the eighth. ninth and tenth rounds he yiciously jumped from his corner. intent on dropping Mello but the latter, after taking a right hook on the jaw, would slip inside the cham- pions guard and aim lefts at the heart blows which would have dropped anyone lacking chan- pion's courage, a virtue which IS Dundec's chiet asset nowadays.
 Dundee, who has never been ac- cused of dumbness. knew from the sixth round on that his only chance was 10 fhttcn Mello for the fo- count and he spent 12 ring minutes trying to do it. Mello. however. was able to digest the champions best and return a bit more. When the bell ended the tenth round, Dundee slowly walked to his corner. regis tcring the baffled look Of one who has tried and does not understand why he has failed. Ii was obvious to most of the audience. however. that Mello's style could overcome straight risht-handed puncher. whether he was 6 champion or not.
