LONG LIST OF PUGS
ME AFTER LEONARD
Jackson and Tendler
Formidable Array.
Lead
MITCHELL ALSO STRONG
Dundee Keccives Serious Setback
by Recent Dreat That Was
Inflicted by Jackson.
The lightweight division of pugil
ism in this country is the only claBa
in which the crown of the champion
is menaced by formidable contenders
for the honors. It does not follow
that any one of the eight or ten light
weights now in action would be able
to wrest the title from Benny Leon
ard, but it can not be denied that the
list of upiranta contains several box
ers of the first rank, Should Leonard
decide t retire, as has frequently
been reported, the competition for
the title, would develop a series of
the greatest lightweight contests ever
een in Arizona.
As the . case stands there now is a
very pretty scramble in progress
among the 135 pounders for the honor
of a meeting with the champion.
JifkMMind Tendler Lead.
Willie Jackison of New York and
Lew Tendler of Philadelphia appear
to be in the lead at the present time,
and as there Is a strong probability
of a contest betweem them the- ques
tion as to the identity of Leonard's
next title bout may soon be deter
mined. There is considerable question as to
the relative merits of Jackson and
Tendler. They hajve met twice in
the ring, and whiLe. the Quaker re
received the award on points in each
bout, the performance of the New
Yorker was such as to create the Im
pression that under different condi
tions he might be more successful.
Jackson's work against Dundee
showed that the Bronx youngster now
is boxing and hitting In the best form
of his career and that he would be a
dangerous opponent even for the
peerless Leonard. Tendlet who until
recently was a heavy featherweight,
has filled out and now looks like a
genuine 135 pounder. In recent bouts
with boys of mediocre ability Tendler
has won quickly, his left-hand blows
being delivered with accuracy and
knockout force.
Dundee as a contender for the title
received a severe setback in hia con
test with Jackson, and while not
completely eliminated was sent far t
the rear. The Italian will have a dif
ficult time rehabilitating himself
pugilistically, which is made doubly

Mitckrll In Contender.
Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee, who
a few years ago was stopped by Leon
ard in seven rounds, has reinstated
himself through his stopping of Lew
lidwards. lightweight champion of
Australia, in seven rounds, and should
have a trial against the leaders.
Mitchell is a very clever boxer with
a heavy punch, and the general opin
ion is he. was sent against the title
holder before he was sufficiently sea
soned. A match between Dundee and
Mitchell would be well worth seeing.
Joe Welling, who has been a per
sistent challenger of Leonard, should
be considered, for while he lacks the
cleverness of Tendler and Jackson he
has an effective punch. .
Kddie Kitzsimmons, Dan Morgan's
entry in the lightweight stakes, can
not be ignored, for he has shown
hitting ability of a destructive qual
ity. Kitsstmraona has much to learn,

LITERARY TIES TO BIND
INTERCHANGE OF BOOKS AND
ART TO HELP.
Old World and- New May Thus Ob
tain Introduction and Learn
of Each Otber.
NEW YORK. On authors and ar
tists rest the burden of binding, na
tions together in ties of mutual' re
spect and friendship, declares Eduardo
Zamacois, Spanish author and lec
turer, whose works are now being
translated and published in this
country. "Nothing binds nations to
gether so securely, and nothing so
profoundly vitalizes them, as litera
ture and art. My ambition or one
of my ambitions is to bring the old
world to the new, and to take back
the new to the old."
According to Zamacois, Spain is
rapidly reviving industrially and be
coming liberalized politically. The
Spanish-American war, he declares.
with its resultant loss to Spain of her
colonies, was to that country a "bless
ng in disguise, for it made the Span
ish nation roll up its sleeves and sup
port itself by hard work. The work
begun by that war is now being com
pleted by the results of the world
conflict, which has flooded Spain
with new ideas, has gives it free
speech and a free press, and has
begun to emancipate Spanish women.
The chief concern of this author is
the fact that Spain is not well enough
understood in this country. For
eigners "have seen in her only the
picturesque, the medieval, the exotic.
Spain not only has scientific and en
gineering triumphs to her credit, but
is also engaged at present with "vast
commercial undertakings and enor
mous manufacturing enterprises."
Not the least factor in the rehabilita
tion of Spain, declares Zamacois, is
the more widespread use of soap
among the masses.
COMMISSION TAKES REST
CHANGES PROPOSED IN OR
GANIC IAW OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Next Legislature Will IVecide
Whether to Amend or Re
vise Completely.
HARRISBCRG. Pa. Pennsylvania's
commission on constitutional amend
ment and revision, which for two
months has been considering tentative
changes in the organic law of the
state, has taken a recess until April.
ffhan it will hold hearings open to
an citizens wno nave suggestions to
ma Ke.
The present constitution has been
n force for 4o years with few
changes. The opinion that parts of
t are antiquated and that large mu
nicipalities cannot properly function
under some of its alleged restrictions
crystallized m the appointment of the
commission to study the constitution
ith a view to recommending to the
next legislature whether it should be
amended or whether a convention
should be called to make an entire
revision.
Many changes were tentatively
made in the preliminary study. One
of them was the insertion of an
amendment giving women the right
to vote. Efforts are being- made to
give Philadelphia. Pittsburg and other
cities a larger measure of home rule,
and changes In the method of making
appropriations to charitable and edu
cational institutions in trie state
were also tentatively considered.
The hearings will continue until
early summer. In the fall the com
mission, which is composed of 25
members, will meet to make Its re
port to be presented to the legisla
ture next January.
ENGLISH PATIENTS 'SLEEP'
African Disease Thought Responsi
ble for Strang Malady.
LONDON. Eight or nine eases of
what appears to be a new phase of
the deadly "sleeping sickness" are
puzzling the London hospital doctors.
The disease to which the name en
cephalitis lethargia has been given.
presents many of the symptoms of
the African sleeping sickness, but so
far the trypanasoma hitherto thought
to be responsible for the sleeping
sickness common to the Congo na
tives has not been found in the blood
oi patients at the hospital.
A representative medical committee
Is investigating the new disease.
The house surgeon states it is too
early to make a definite statement.
So far no common factor save the
overpowering desire to sleep has been
found In cases under notice, nor has
it been possible yet to trace the
origin of each. There is said to be
nc cause for alarm as to the possible

L STARTS FEUD
FLIN JFTjON FLEE AND KETTLE
FROG GET IN BAD.
Grant Rice of The Pas, Canada,
Editor, Calls Papers Disrep
utable Ijinndry Tickets.
WINNIPEG. Man. The Flin Flon
Flea, a mining camp paper published
in the Athapapuske lake country,
took this vicious editorial bite at The
Pas recently-
"The Pas puts on city airs Just be
cause there's a fellow there who plays
the ukulele." '
A little later, with as little rhyme
or reason, the Kettle Frog, another
mining camp paper in the same re
gion, came to bat with this:
"The people ef The Pas are filled
with culture, or think they are. They
wear white collars seven days a
week."
This concerted attack came out of
a blue sky and aroused The Pas to
righteous wrath. The Pas is the me
tropolis of the northern Manitoba
hinterland. It la one of the great fur
depots of Canada. Dog sleds every
day are tinkling in, loaded with the
peltries of the wilderness. As the
end of the railway line, it is the dis
tributing point for all the supplies
and freight bound for the rich cop
per and gold country to the north.
When the Hudson's Bay railway,
now almost completed, is built
through to a connection with trans
Atlantic steamship lines at Port Nel
son, The Pas is destined to become
one of the important cities of West
ern Canada, and no doubt about it.
Moreover, The Pal at present baa a
movie picture theater and two bar
ber shops.
Flin Flon and Kettle, on the other
hand, are rough mining camps. Their
degree of culture, as The Pas points
out with a metropolitan chuckle, was
indicated not long ago -when Flin
Flon advertised for a preacher who,
it was stipulated, "must be a good
poker player."
So Grant Rice, editor of The Pas
Herald, rose to the defense of his
city. In an editorial full of delicate
satire he made it evident to the min
ing camp critics Just where they got
off and wound up "with, this neat
thrust: "The editors of these two
disreputable laundry tickets are a
couple of jealous muskrats."
Though the exchange of compli
ments is expected to precipitate a bit
ter journalistic war In the nerthland.
The Pas is resting easy. So far the
Flin Flon Flea and the Kettle Frog
have remained silent under Mr. Rice's
piquant literary castigation, but If
they make any further cracks the cit
izens of-the metropolis expect to see
a couple of muskrats" properly
ekinned and their pelts hung up to
dry.

ing his efforts in Paris to penetrate
the new French policy toward these
frontier lands, the correspondent has
reached the following conclusions:
1. France intends to occupy in per
petuity with her armies not only the
Saar country, assigned to her for 15
years by the peace treaty, but the
Bavarian palatinate and most of that
part of the Rhine province lying on
the left bank. Including Cologne and
Coblenz.
lateattea Openly Avowed.
2. This Intention, not ep-enlv
avowed, but implied in the attitude of
official France in Paris no less than
in the military and political meas
ures taaen pare, Is Justified by the
french on the ground that the treaty
already has been broken and America
and England have in effect repudiated
their pledge to form a defensive al
liance with France so that France
must again seek the "material guar
antses- sne renounced t ih.
ference.
3. Propaganda continues in the Ba
varian palatinate and in the Rhine
province for the creation of independ
ent buffer states on the Rhine. It is
conducted by Germans, but not .n
openly supported by General de
Goutte. now In command here, as was
tne similar abortive movement In
when General Mangin staged a "rev.
olution" at Mainz and unsuccessfully
ineu. to pring oir the revolt in Co
blenz and Cologne.
Feck Policy Favored Today.
4. French policy a year ago would
have been satisfied with one or two
completely Independent neutralized
buffer states. Today the old pojicy
of General Foch that French troon.
must always stand on the Rhine,
wnatever tne political affiliations of
the German on the left bank, appears
to have been adopted.
a. ui tne ainea armies of occu
pation, the French force under Gen
eral DeGoutte is alone "on its toes,"
ready to march with full field equip
ment in sufficient strength to over
come any resistance in Germany
General Degoutte commands the 20th,
S2d and 33d Frencn army corps. The
effective American force at Coblenz
and the effective British army at
Cologne are significant. Whatever
military steps the upheaval In Ger
many may give rise to, they will be
French; only the French have the
power and will to act. If the word
"allied" instead of French Is used to
describe coming operations the word
will be "camouflage."
s. jviarsnat tocn nas urged upon
his own government and upon Sir
Henry Wilson and General Allen at
conferences held here that the Ruhr
Basin, Including Essen, be promptly
seized by "allied" troops. These troops
would probably be Belgian. There is
reason to think that the Belgian and
French governments strongly dissent
that the American General Allen,
command downstream. Is left without
instructions sufficient to cover tht
contingencies that are now arising.
7. French treatment of the German
civilian population appears stern but
just. No complaints against French
troops are left uninvestigated. Ger
man reports circulated everywhere
that French negro troops here have
behaved savagely are false and would
long ago nave Deen explained, were
the French military censorship less
severe. These negroes are eolontals
and crack fighters whose morale Is
high. They are on the Rhine pot to
annoy civilians, but to form part
De Goutte s spearhead, if an invasion
of Germany commences.
Riots Suppresses With Tart.
S. Such rioting as has occurred
among the German civilian population
has been suppressed with tact and
good nature. Americana and British
down the Rhine, while not uncritical
of French administration, bear wit
! ness to this moderation of Genera
de Goutte. There has been no serious
trouble here. In the Saar valley the
"allied" commission which ostensibly
governs the region declared martial
law last month when coal miners ob
jected to their hours of work and
started demonstrations. The Saar'a
grievance is that the French are gov
ernlng them in defiance of the treaty.
The miners are now back at work
and there has been no bloodshed. In
the American and British areas there
has been no trouble of any kind from
the inhabitants for months.
9. Since the signature of the peace
treaty, trading has been permitted

between occupied and unoccupied Ger
many. Food, and goods go back and
forth or did until today, when in
the French area the embargo was re
sumed for military reasons. The Ger
mans under allied rule appear no bet
ter and no worse off than the Ger
mans elsewhere in western' Germany.
France believes the has been badly
"let down" by both Britain and
America.. That is why she has turned
again to her policy for the 'left
bank." already clearly formulated in
a secret agreement with Russia made
in 1916. Informed Frenchmen put it
this way to the correspondent In
Paris a few days ago:
Quarrel Held Eternal.
"Our quarrel with Germany is eter
nal, but never again shall we be the
aggressors. We ask security alone,
but security we roust have; we are
not likely next time to be so lucky as
at the Marne; we may not have so
much outside support. The Rhine is
our natural military frontier. We
asked for it at the peace conference;
we were told the league of nations
would protect us; that such material
guaranties were out of date. We ac
quiesced, but asked that the league
be provided with an international
army, and were told American and
British opinion would never agree.
Very well," we said, 'we do not care
what you do so long as you safe
guard us somehow. Will America and
England make a solemn . pledge to
come to our aid if we are again at
tacked r
That pledge was given by Lloyd
George and Wilson, and we were con
tent. We have had a rude awakening.
America does not stand by the presi
dent; Britain says her agreement Is
contingent upon America's. So we
are back where we commenced; we
have no protection for the future; is
it any wonder that our eyes turn
again to the Rhine?
Peace Treaty Declared Dead.
"But this is not all. The peace
treaty has been killed against our
protests. We did take out of the
economic manifesto the clause pro
viding for a German loan, but the
policy remains British and American.
We are not to get our indemnities.
our interest.1" are everywhere sacri
ficed, to the economic welfare ef
Europe, we are told. So be it- We
must protect ourselves. Germany has
broken and will break the treaty
with or without your consent, does
not matter. The Rhine most be ours
or future generations of Frenchmen
will Justly curse us."
The league of nations, faithful to
Its policy of not Interfering at first
in controversial matters, has not tak-
n over the government of the Saar
through axcommission. The tempo
rary commission appointed by the
peace conference exists in name only;
the real governor of the Saar la now
General WirbeU whose methods in
dealing with disaffection have been
firm, and' so far effective.
Inhabitants Are Disgusted.
tle Rhine province Itself and
In
these remarks apply to the American,
British and Belgian occupied areas as
ell as to the French the desire of
the bulk of the inhabitants to sep
arate from Prussia must be distin
guished from a wish to leave Ger
many. General Mangin s mfssfire revolu
tion last year in the Rhine province
disgusted the Inhabitants; some of
them would like to form an inde
pendent buffer state, but practically
none wish to live under a disguised
French protectorate.
A German supporter, who evidently
did not like the French, summed up
the position of the Independents as
follows:
"Germany in kaput (ruined). Franca
wants a buffer state on the Rhine.
Very good: if we break away from
Germany, France will see that we -do
pot have to pay a share of the war
debt, or of the indemnity. Moreover,
our state win be .neutralized. we
Bhall have no military service; our
taxes, without a war debt, will' be
the lightest in Europe."
French Ambltlena Grow.
France a year ago would have been
content with a really Independent
buffer state on the Rhine, Today it
Is doubtful whether her ambitions
have not Increased. Foch wants the
permanent military control of the
Rhine and of the bridgeheads; his
voice has been beard to this effect
in every council since the armistice;
the so-called "desertion" of England
and America has brought the poll,
ticians to his side. So much is clear
In Paris.
France, the correspondent believes,
is on the Rhine to stay. When the
British and American forces are
withdrawn, soon er late, and probably
sooner rather than later their places
will be taken by French troops

The strike of Mexican railroad
