It "reads as follows: My Fellow Soldiers: Now that your service with American Expeditionary Forces is about to terminate, I ean not let you go without a personal word. At the call to arms, the patriotic young man- hood of »Ameriea eagerly _ re- sponded and hecame the for- midable army ‘whose decisive = | victories testify to its efficiency and its valor. With the support | of the nation firmly united to defend the cause of liberty, our army has executed the will of the people with resolute purpose. Our democracy has been tested, and the forces of autocracy have been defeated. ‘To the glory of the citizen-soldier, our troops have faithfully fulfilled their trust, and in a succession of brilliant offensives have over- come the menace to our civili- zation, As an individual, your part in the world war has been an im- | portant one in the sum _ total of Whether the our acheivements. keeping lonely vigil in | trenches, or gallantly storming the enemy’s stronghold; wheth- er enduring monotonous drudg- ery at the rear, or sustaining the fighting line at the front, each has bravely and efficiently played his part. By willing sac- rifice of personal rights; by cheerful ‘endurance of hardship and privation; by vigor, streng- th and indomitable will, made effective by thorough organi- zation and cordial co-operation, you: inspired the war-worn =| Allies with new life and turned the tide of threatened defeat in- to overwhelming victory. With a consecrated devotion to duty anda will to conquer, you have loyally served your country. By your exemplary conduct ‘a standard has been established and maintained E} never» before attained “by any army. With mind and body as clean and strong as the decisive blows you delivered against the the pursuits of peace. In leav- 3 |.ing the scenes of your victories, may I ask that you carry home your. high ideals and continue to live as you have served—an honor to the principles. for which you have fought and to the fallen comrades you leave behind. , It is with pride in our success that I extend to you my sincere: thanks for your splendid service to the army and to the nation. Faithfully, John J. Pershing. Commander in Chief. FIGHT RECEIPTS SHORT. Gate receipts of the Dempsey- Willard match July 4 were un- officially announced as being approximately, $452,000 . The attendance, Promoter Tex Rick- ard said, was between 20,000 and 21,000. The announcement -that the bout drew only about 20,000 persons, less thari one-fourth of the seating capacity of the are- na, was a big surprise.. Rickard said all the $60 seats were sold, and virtually all of the $50 seats were disposed of, but that the disappointment came in the sale of the cheapest seats, which sold for $10. Only about 5,000 $10 seats were sold out of 35,000 to 40,000 available. The Toledo charity fund will be enriched by virtual- ly $31,500 as a result of the con- test. ‘The city received 7’ per cent of the gross receipts. The government will receive nearly $41,000 in war tax. What Fight Films Show. All doubt concerning ‘the num- ber of knockdowns Dempsey scored in the first round was re- moved today when motion pict- ures exhibited privately to pro- moter Tex Rickard and a party of friends revealed that the de- throned champion was sent tc the canvas seven times. There were no knockdowns in the remaining two rounds, but Willard probably would have been floored if the ropes of the ring had not supported him. ¢ Dempsey, the pictures. re- vealed, floored Willard with left hooks to the chin for the first four knockdowns.

Hart. does some excellent shooting in “Hell’s Hinges.” Hart has the role of Blaze Tracey, who is quick on the draw out a dead shot. To show his prowess, Hart keeps a tin can in the air for several seconds by a fusillade from his. revolver. He pulls another great feat when he sev- ers. the wires by which the lamps. are suspended in a saloon. Hart shows himself a wonder- ful horseman, too. ’ For instance, he rolls down an embankment ~ on horseback and then jumps about ten feet into the saddle. Hart had_to practice this stunt three times before he was able to have it properly registered by the camera. _ Though he was sore from landing such a dis- tance in the saddle, Hart showed his gameness in continuing till the picture was complete.
