WAR Affixes Signature to Measure at Home of Senator Frelinghuysen. CLOSING OF CONFLICT LACKING IN CEREMONY 28,189. Distinguished Group Witnesses Historic Event—Mr. Harding Makes No Formal Statement. By the Associated Press. RARITAN, N. J., July 2.—The reso- lution of Congress declaring war with Germany and Austria-Hungary at an end was signed here late today by President Harding. The President affixed his signature to the measure at 3:10, eastern standard time, at the home of Sen- ator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, where he is spending the week end. So that there might be no unneces- sary delay In consummation of the long deferred state of peace, the resolution was brought here by special messenger from Washington, where it had been given final con- gressional approval yesterday. The messenger left for the capital again tonight to complete the formalitles of the declaration by depositing the document in the archives of the State Department. Ceremony Lacking. There was little dramatic in the actual ceremony of glving presiden- tial approval to the measure. Re- turning here from a luncheon and golf game at the Somerville Hill Country Club, the President found the White House messenger, W, Smithers, waiting for him on the veranda of the Frelinghuysen house.

Carpentier was almost entirely on the defensive in th~ third and fourth rounds, although he did not noticeably avoid using his right-hand arm in blocking or striking out when the opportunity arose. Regardless of just which blow the Frenchman gave a remarkable exhibition of pugilistic skill and gameness against a heavier and more punishing opponent. The favorite when he entered the ring, judging from the amount of cheering he re- ceived, he left the arena with even a greater amount of applause ringing in his ears, a tribute to an exhibition which in every way verified and up- held a record which had preceded him regarding his boxing ability and dan- ger-detying work during the world war.

The bell at the end of the third round found Carpentier in a semi-helpless condition on the ropes and the gong suved him from a knockout at that roint. Contrast to Air of Cop! The fourth and final round was soon completed and the picture pre- | sented by Carpentier helpless on the floor and his stunned handlers in his corner was in marked contrast to the supreme air of confidence with which the Frenchman entered the ring. Carpentier was first to enter the eighteen-foot pugilistic amphitheater at 2:57 pm. He wore a gray silk bathrobe over his white silk trunks and smiled and watched an airplane flying overhead with the utmost un- |concern. At 3 p.m. sharp the cham- pion followed wearing a dark ma- roon coat sweater and white trunks. Manager Descamps was fussy about ithe bandaging on Dempsey's hands, which was twice as heavy as that which Carpentier himself wound about his own fists.

Signing of the resolution declar- ing a state of peace with Germany and Austria, it was held here, ended yesterday the technical state of wari| with those powers. There was some difference of opinion among lawyers of the administration and diplomatists as to whether the atixing of the Pres- ident’s signature ended the state of war at the exact moment of signing, or whether the resolution would be held to be in force all of yesterday in the view that such acts might not' re- quire taking into consideration frac- tions of a day. The view was also expressed by one or two that the state of peace legally would not be considered in effect until the resolution had been deposited in the State Department, but almost generally the opinion was held that the state of war ended yes- terday. The next step, it was pointed out, would be the issuing of the formal peace proclamation, which could be expected within a few days. This, it was added, would be a mere formality, The patriotic parade; will begin at 9:30 o'clock.

BEGINNING OF END OF (Continued on Page 4, Column 3) ~(Continued on Page 3, Column 5.) GEORGES CARPENTIER'S HOPES. (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.) Although Carpentier struck tie first blow of the encounter, a flying right to head, Dempsey never at any time backed up or showed an inclination to avold trading blows® with his op- ponent. The champion bored in at every opportunity and devoted as much of his attention as was possible to close in-fighting. Rights and lefts were steadily driven home to Carpen- tier's body, alternating at times by drives, jabs, hooks and cuffs to the Frenchman's face, jaw and head. For the first round Carpentier did not appear to feel the effects of this punishment. He fought in and out at close quarters, using chiefly a right swing or drive to Dempsey’s face and jaw, with an occasional shift of the left to the body. Most of the body blows Dempsey blocked or partly checked with el- bows and forearms, but he was not able to protect his face as well. Time and again Georges shot over his right to Dempsey's face, and in the sec- ond round, when he turned loose the heaviest batteries of his blows, it appeared as though the champion might be forced to assume a defensive attitude. The pause in Dempsey’s at- tack, however, was due more to sur- prise and fluster at the savageness of his opponent’s rally.

When finally Carpentier could ariea he staggered toward the center off the ring and the police and ring of- ficials, seeing his condition, sup- ported him, while Dempsey sprang from his stool and, running to meet his defeated opponent, grasped his hand and congratulated him on his gameness ,and boxing ability. | A moment later the principals had left the ring and the “fight of a cen- tury” had become ring history. In the short period of the contest it was shown conclusively that Carpen- tier in no way compared to Dempsey as a fighting machine. Courageous, speedy of foot and with a lightning-like rapler blow, he proved to be a clever boxer with a moderate punch. Against the man- killing smashes of Dempsey all his skill and speed faded away like fog before the sun. It was but another l and In its effect would date from yes- A terday.

He shot out of his corner at the bell for the third round with every evidence of an intention to fin- ish the battle. With a menacing scowl on his dark features, he fol- lowed Carpentier about the ring as the latter sidestepped and ducked the lunges in an endeavor to corner the challenger. Crouching low and with body and fists swinging from side to side, he crept after Carpentier until he caught him on the ropes near a neutral corner and began the batter- ing which presaged the end.
