BEGIN REMOVAL OF U. S. FORCES IN RHINE ZONE.

The American army of occupation technically ceased to exist Wednesday when the removal of the units still in the Rhineland began. It is expected that within a comparatively short time there will remain on the Rhine only one regiment, with certain auxiliary troops, totalling approximately 5,000 men. The fourth and fifth divisions, entraining from Brest Wednesday, will be followed eventually iby the second, third and first divisions, in the order named. The exact time of departure of these latter divisions depends on the manner in which Germany carries out the‘ military terms of the treaty.

YOUTH MEETS BRAWN IN FRIDAY’S FISTIC CLASSIC.

Not since an early May day in the year 1915 when Jess Willard restored the world’s heavyweight championship to the white race by sinking Jack Johnson in twenty-six rounds of battling in an arena in Havana has the sporting world so eagerly turned to an event as the one to be staged by Tex Rickard in Toledo Independence day, when Jack Dempsey, California satellite, will try to batter this same Willard into insensibility with a pair of four ounce gloves in a twenty-four foot ring. Not in years has such a dainty sporting dish been offered to 'a war suffering public as the historic clash of tomorrow between the world’s foremost sons of fistdom. Men, women and children, veterans who look back to the days of Sullivan, Corbett, Jeffries and Fitzsimmons with hearts filled with pride, will turn their thoughts from everyday life and permit them to dwell on the activities of these two behemoths of the squared circle. Jess Willard is thirty-seven, an unusually advanced* age for a champion. Jack Dempsey has just, turned twenty-four. Jess Willard displaces two hundred and forty-five pounds of air, while Dempsey falls four pounds shy of the two hundred mark. Jess Willard has a reach far in excess of that of his lighter opponent. Jess Willard is at least the equal of the challenger as a boxer, although neither may be sard to shine in this respect. Dempsey is undoubtedly the faster of the two, due to his lesser bulk. Willard packs a punch which carries more force than that of Dempsey, his superior weight giving him the advantage in this respect. Surely, the odds favor the champion, you will say. But wait. History shows in the majority of ring battles that youth has counteracted whatever advantage nature has bestowed upon those Who have had the advantage in weight and reach. Willard has been a dean liver in every way, but thirteen years in the life of an athlete is a long time and whether Jess can discount such a handicap remains to be seen. A good youth of twenty-four undoubtedly has the advantage over a good man qf thirty-seven. Dempsey, young, confident, strong and bubbling over with enthusiasm and energy, with his meteoric rushes, is going to be hard to stop by a man who has no in-l terest in the game other than the financial end of it. Jess Willard is fighting for the money he is to redeve and because the public demands that he defend his crown, not because he loves to fight. Dempsey is fighting because he loves the game and because he seeks the honor of wearing the crown as the world’s greatest fighter. Another advantage in favor of the youth, for he will put his whole heart and soul into the task mapped out for him. ~ If it were a finish fight we would not hesitate one moment in picking the brilliant young challenger to stretch the mighty Kansan on the canvas, but we fear that the best he can hope for in this length of time is a decision on points. Jess is too large and can take too many hard punches for any human being to knock him out in twelve rounds. His superior reach will save ham much punishment by holding his rushing opponent at bay. _ Ana , Jadk ever runs into one of W“ lard s punches—goodnight! . John L. Sullivan fell before the youth of James J. Corbett at New Orleans. Corbett later relinquished the crown to Fitzsimmons. F ’_ t , zs ™' mens was in turn bounced off the throne by the younger, hardier boilermaker, Jim Jeffries., Jeffries retired with the crown, only later to re-enter the ring to meet the youthful Johnson in a vain attempt to restore the title to the white race. Johnson, after several years of fast living, went before Willard and youth again was served. Certainly an imposing record for youth. But never in these famous battles was there such a difference in the size of the contestants as the one to be fought tomorrow. ‘Summed up it is a man of far greater bulk pitted against an ambitious youth who does not know the word “quit, the scales practically even. The only sure bet on such a fight is that both men will be on their feet when the final signal gong sounds and that if there is a knockout it will be Dempsey who must look at the rainbows in his second’s bucket ” Willard is to receive SIOO,OOO, win, lose or draw, and Demimey, as his share, will receive $27,500 of American money on the same teims. Looks as if there could be only one loser and that is the public, which is to lay out one million smackers to watch these two ring mamoths travel twelve rounds, the same two mamoths .who remained out of tne military service when their country •was at war and captured the easy money in sight. The American doughboy fought for one dollar a day. Willard and Dempsey are to fight for $127,500 for a period of thirty-six minutes. Queer old world, isn’t it?

DR. ANNA HOWARD SHAW, SUFFRAGIST HEAD, DIES.

Philadelphia, Pa., July 2.—-Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the National American Woman’s Suffrage association, died at her home in Moylan, Pa., near here, at 7 o’clock this evening. She was 71 years old- L —r Dr. Shaw also was chairman of the woman’s committee on the council of national defense and recently was awarded the distinguished service medal for her work during the war. She was taken ill in Springfield, 111., about a month ago while on a lecture tour with former President William H. Taft and President Lowell, of Harvard university, in the interest of the league of nations. Pneumonia developed, and for two weeks she was confined to her room in a Springfield hospital. She returned to her home about the middle of June and apparently had»entirely recovered. Last Saturday she drove to Philadelphia in her automobile and upon her return said she was feeling “fine.” She was taken suddenly ill again yesterday with a recurrence of the disease and grew rapidly worse until the end.

Mexico has always been the domain of trouble. Very unfortunate, for the constitution of things it cannot keep its trouble to itself. If passenger and freight rates go up to the point where we all have to walk and carry our goods, we shall begin to suspect that the railroads are run for the benetit of the employes.

THE COLUMBUS METHODIST CENTENARY MEETING.

(Mrs. E. W. Strecker.) Dear Mr. Hamilton: Our trip was uneventful, excepting that we made the trip of 285 miles from 5:50 a. m. until 9:20 p. m., having, used about an hour finding our location at 211 Dakota, aye-' nue, after reaching the city limits. We ipade an average of twenty miles per hour and came through on about fourteen gallons of gasoline. The centenary celebration of the Methodist church is the event in church history in the wdy of an exhibition of work to be accomplished and of work already done. Our first day on,the grounds was a delight in many ways. We met so many of our old friends, and heard our great political friend,. William Jennings Bryan. The ovation upon his entrance at the coliseum was an index of the people’s . appreciation of him. He was here for “Dry Day” address. He predicts the ratification by the U. S. senate of the peace treaty, including the league of nations. He praised and paid tribute to the church, especially the Methodist church, for its work toward the prohibition of the liquor traffic, and the work of the AntiSaloon league and the W. C. T. U., all of which received their share of honor for their service tending toward the victory we celebrate. He said that if he were to take a text, he would use: “They Are Dead That Sought the Young Child’s Life.” He said: “What a complete victory! We have nine states more than we needed, and the amendment was ratified in a little more than a seventh than was needed for its ratification. And no one. party can claim the credit for this victory. It was a triumph of the nation’s conscience.” Other addresses were given by Miss Anna Gordon and an Illinois senator. In one address the speaker declared that the fight against cigarette and coca cola would be the next attack. The $50,000 pipe organ produces music that is indescribable. The rainbow division band played several times yesterday, and also a colored mixed chorus sang several selections. About .fifty different entertainments, etc., are on at once, so one, must select what he most desires. The grandstand has a seating capacity of 50,000 and the coliseum 10,000. The pageant, “The Wayfarers” is said to be the finest thing presented, but as yet we have not been able to' secure tickets for it. Will write again.

SHAFER GARAGE WILL DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY.

A. E. and N. C. Shafer have purchased of Marjorie Loughridge the fifty-foot lot just south of the present Shafer Garage on North Cullen street and they will erect upon this lot another building similar to their present garage. Increasing business makes more floor room necessary with this hustling firm. The enlarged garage will have one hundred ifeet frontage and wilr.be * one hundred an dtwenty-five feet in depth. , Shafer & Son have been m the garage business in their present building for six years. The lot up,on which the present building stands lon the comer of Cullen and Cor- ’ nelia streets was purchased six years ago and the price paid was 31.850. It is understood that the lot the Shafers have just purchased cost them about twice that amount.

WHAT SHALL BE OFFERED TO YOUTH IN PLACE OF LIQUOR?

What effect is nation-wide prohibition going to have upon the young men of the country? What are they going to do with the hours which they formerly wasted in saloons or spent aimlessly and unprofitably while under the influence of liquor? «. The closing of the saloons means that they will have both time and money to spend for something else. Though they continue to waste both their time and money they will at least profit in one way, nothing else that they may do will dissipate their strength and shorten their lives to the same extent as alcoholic drink. They should !be able to wear better clothes, 'buy automobiles, travel, or do numerous things which their drinking habits would have made impossible if they had been continued. Some of them will doubtless find themselves learning and doing things that will ibe of value to them that they would not otherwise have done or learned. Perhaps some of them wall find more time and inclination to cultivate the society of young women with the result that more and earlier marriages will take place, resulting in the establishment of homes and the rearing of families whom they will maintain upon a higher plane than would otherwise have been the case. # Communities owe a duty to their young men in this connection. There should be something to compensate for the saloon and the social life which young men found there. There should be an abundance of legitimate places for amusement. There should be clean'and interesting picture shows open to the public on Sunday. There should be inaugurated a systematic policy of street improvement to the end that driving would be a pleasure. And there should be adequate encouragement for out of door athletics, a baseball team, a football team and sports in which individuals can participate. Something must take the place of the saloons and gambling houses and the red light districts of which the cities are ridding themselves.. There are many healthful and enjoyable outlets for youthful enthusiasm, but they do not as a rule, provide themselves. They must be promoted and encouraged and the community owes it to itself and to its future responsible citizenship to see to it that these things are not overlooked or neglected. They will make for contentinent and happiness and will pay big dividends in a great many ways.—Lafayette Journal.
