/ Pete wasn't looking at Ryan. He was
staring down into the small, white face
of Polly Martin sitting near the ring
She did not smile when her eyes met
Pete's. There was something strained
in her expression. Pete turned away
quickly. He had reached for something
he had not quite understood but which
he had known he wanted. 1t had been
denied to him. He was through. A guy
had to look after himself first, last and
always. Pete told himself bitterly. But
that strange feeling of loneliness re-

Pete slid out to meet Barney with
the bell. In ten seconds he knew he was
facing a frst-class fighting man. Bar

head back. Pete moved away. Ryan
followed like a shadow - relaxed, con-

hard left into Ryans face. The blow
landed clean but Pete felt Barney roll
with the punch to draw the sting out
of it.
Suddenly Ryan lunged in with both
fists cooked. Pete felt the solid jar
of the blows under his heart. He slipped
his head out of the way of glove that
ripped upward. He clinched. and imme-

shoulders and head. Nothing exactly

Ryan met Pete in the center of the
ring for the second round. His lips were
drawn back. Come on!" he jeered.
You took me once. What are you

Pete moved in. He heard the roar
of the crowd as he traded with Ryan.
Ryan's punches carried power. He was

Opinions as 10 the use Of
poison ivy extracts in proven

Is either by injection into the
muscle or taking the extract

treatment and prevention Of

have reported no beneficial
effects from this.

SAW KAISER IN 1912
I first saw the kaiser at Pots
dam in 1912. / was standing
within a few feet of him during
the unwilling of a monument TO
General Baron Won Steuben, or
ganizer of George Washington's
army, whom Frederick the Great
had sent TO the American colonies
TO help them in their revolution
against England for independence.
The last time I saw the kaiser
he was chopping wood at his head
quarters at Chariville in France
during the war. The emperor had
caused telegram to be sent me I:
'His Majesty commands the
American journalist Won Wei
gand to appear I'm audience"
When / arrived. Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg would not let
the emperor talk 10 me. declaring
that he was the responsible states
man and could not accept that re-
sponsibility.
THOSE LONG-BEARDs'
The crown prince had asked
the kaiser TO send for me himself,
telling me:
Those long boards around
father won't tell him the truth,
and ne won't listen to me. I'm
In bad because I say and insist
that we have lost the war"
That conversation took place in
the Argonne Immediately after the
retreat from the Marine. My SOU
venir of the ex-kaiser is his much
worn red and black personal war
standard or flag always flown from
his car. II was taken Oft when the
kaiser crossed the border into
Holland and was given to me by
his chauffeur Herr Werner. who
was an ardent Socialist.
The kaiser almost never flew
the black and gold imperial colors
at the front.
In private conversations at
Doom. Wilhelm ii more than once
remarked that ne hoped the Brit
ish and Americans had discovered
their mistake and learned their
lesson from dethroning him.

In 1919. I endeavored TO get the
emperor 10 demand a trial before
an international tribunal COM
posed of the chief justices of the
supreme courts in the leading
countries OF the world in order to
clear up the then so heatedly de-

demand that Holland give up the
emperor for trial by his accusers.
In his letter. Unternyer offered
his services as chief counsel for
the defense if the emperor decided,
for the sake Of the German people,
TO demand a trial before an inter
