Har ry Ertlo of Jersey City today was formally selected by the New Jersey state boxing commission as referee for tho Dempsey-Carpentier bout July 2. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 22. Selection of Harry Ertle as referee, of tho contest, between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier at Jersey City July 2, Is entirely satisfactory to Dempsey. Joseph Cassidy. secretary of the New Jersoy boxing commission, wns expected officially to announce the selection of Ertle today. Dempsey however, had not discussed the sltua- Hon wllh Jack Kearns, his managor, as Kearns had not returned from New York. "So it's Ertlo, Is It," Dempsey said. "Well that's good enough for me if it suits Kearns. Kearns does the man aging and I try to do the fighting. 1 can truthfully say this, I honestly don't care who is In there to referee. It wouldn't muke any difference to me if Descamps refereed. I think Carpen tier feels the saino about tho referee question as I do." Dempsey Is more concerned over the announcement he has been named as co-resKindent in a divorce case in Pawhuska, Okla., than he Is over the referee. Today ho Instructed his attorney, Ray J. Cannon of Milwaukee, to In vestigate and start suit for libel if necessary against F. 1L Boulanger, who In his petition for divorce named Dempsey. "Dempsey Is no home wrecker and this thing has upset him" Cannon said. "He doesn't even know anybody In Pawhuska and never has .written to anybody thero."

TALK OF WAR WITH JAPAN IS TERMEDABSURD Dr. Fullerton ddresses the Wednesday 'Forum On Yel low Peril Keep Japanese Out, But Don't Swallow War Talk; Is Suggestion.

Dr. Kulkerson who is a field reprosentutlve of tho Conservation Department of tho Methodist church will speak tonight ut 8 o'clock on the "World Crisis," at the Eirst Metho dist church. "Tho war talk you hoar In this country is puid propaganda sent out from Tokio and New York to detract the attention of the Amoricun people while they seize an empire in China and Siberia," said Dr. Fulkorson. "Japan is a crowded nation. They need room. Thoy must expand. When the white man attempts to halt their natural expansion, then, and thou ulonn will there ho war. "Thorn aro threo reasons why Japan wants no war with America. In the first place, they huve no credit. Over US pur cent of their foreign trade Is with America. I hear much about tho Japanese seizing tho Philippines, They might do It In tho first .'10 duys or so, hut we would leave them nn eighth into nation. I doubt very much if Japan would take tho Phil ippines if we gave them a deed for tho islunds. Tho logic of tho Toklo Htalesmen Is that no great nation can bo founded in tho tropics. For mosa Is a' while elephant to Japan, they dlu llko fleas in that climate. The JupaneHo want no murch to wards tho equator." Dr. Kulkerson said ho was unnltor ulily opposed to importation of As iatic labor, and cited that Japanese control r3 per cent of tho roming houses In Seattle, havo a foothold In tho city of Portland, and control In a luigo measure tho cafe business of tho coast.
