MAN WITHOUT
COUNTRY FREED
FROM PRISON

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Jan. 18
UP)-A middle-aged Dutch stone
carver regained his freedom az
the Federal penitentiary today at
the cost of becoming a man with
out a country"
He is Lawardus Gergardus Bor-
gart, 81, blond and stClid. He
walked out through gates over
which he had carved the inscrip-
ton Omitted States Penitentiary'
and was taken into custody by
Sheriff James E. Irvine for de-
portation.
Behind him lay II years of i'm
prisCnment for a crime which ORR
ginally drew a life sentence. Ahead
lay a marriage with a New York
woman with whom he has carried
on correspondence romance. She
is Miss Emma Colmeyer, about SO.
Lost Citizenship
Also ahead lay the uncertainties
connected with having no homc-
land where he may claim protec-
tion and a chance to maintain
himself and his new wife. Borgart
lost his American citizenship when
he was convicted of an offense
against a nurse during war time.
He had renounced citizenship in
his native Netherlands to join the
American army.
Intervention of the Kansas City
War Mothers in his behalf several
years ago resulted in a presidential
Communication of sentence to de-
portation. But then President
Roosevelt and the state department
discovered that no other nation
would accept Borgart.
The War Mothers again busted
themselves and at last an agree
ment was reached whereby Bor-
CART will be sent to the Neither
lands without passport.
Telegraphs Fiancee
A presidential letter will gain
him admission to his home land.
Once there, his fate, apparently,
will rest ca how well he atones
for once renouncing his native
land.
En- route to the Leavenworth
county jail, where Borgart was
provided lodging, he stopped at d
telegraph office to message his
fiancee:
Released today. Leave for New
York tomorrow. Please cable my
mother"
Borgart was not doWncast.

The Arabs have done battle

If you get confused in your
search for the right wrinkle of
charging elephant, Buddy told me,
then shoot him in leg. An ele-
phant, it seems, needs four sound
legs to carry him along land they
can run as swiftly as deer
when under full power and when
one is hit it is just as if the
elephant had thrown out an an

If you run into a lion on your
way home from work some day
don't be frightened. He won't
bother you unless he happens to
be one who has neglected to use
his toothbrush for years and, as
a result, has such poor teeth that
he can't whip the animals which
constitute a lions normal fare.
Unable to lick anything near his
own weight, the lion with the
toothache will go after a man.
When unexpectedly charged by
a lion when your ammunition is
low-Say two shells in your gun
it is wise to wait until he is al
most close enough to shake hands,
and then let him have it. If you
miss there is always consolation
for your family in the knowledge
that lions never take home hunters
they kill and stuff and mount
them or place their heads over

Buddy's father, Mr.. E. L. King

on the quail shoot yesterday and
we got 20 quail, three sparrows
and butterfly. The sparrows and
butterfly were nine, and were

Joe Louis
In Victory
Over Foe

CHICAGO, Jan. 13. U.P)--Charley
Retzlaff today was a minor item Ill
the amazing saga of Joe Louis ana
his magic gloves.
Only one day ago the big, raw
boned North Dakota farmer was an
important hurdle in Louis clear path
to a million-dolla fight with Max
Schmeling and a probable title shot
with Jimmy Braddock.
But today the RetzlaIl thing was
q laugh, and a short one, too. Short
er, even, than the one minute and
25 seconds it took Joseph to list
Retzlaff's name with those of Car
nera, Levinsky, Baer, Pauline and
all the rest.
Joe dumped Retzlaff twice, The
second time for keeps, and today his
main worry was that of another soft
touch. this time in his home city of
Detroit.
They hailed last nights Chicago
stadium session as the biggest if
fight in years. There we're ifs" as
to Louis condition, the possibility Of
Retzlaff landing a lucky one, and
many another weird angle. But not
one of the "if'S" stood up. Louis
sailed in, took his man almost as
soon as he wanted, pocketed some
$23, 1000 and called it night.
Actually there were but Ct seconds
f fighting. Retzlaff was down once
for a count of eight, and the kayo
toll took up another 10 seconds
which. subtracted from the official
time of 1:25, left 1:07 of mediocre
punch-sWapping for which l6,500
persons paid S67,500.
Say this much for Retzlaff: He
really did try, but, as Louis said
while sitting in his dressing room
after the fight, without even one
bead of perSpiration showing on his
cocoa -colored body, AT guy just
couldn't take it. >"
Actually it was Retzlaft VINO hit
the first real blow. He was the first
of Louis last four opponents to have
come in rushing, and actually forced
Joe into the ropes within the first
minute. The North Dakota lad
scored a neat right TO the head and
Louis pulled in his guard. The crowd
breathless for moment, cheered
madly for the puncher who dared tC
carry the fight to Louis. as none has
done during Joe's Skyrocket year.
They saw the answer, too Loui,
