HAUGHTON HAD WINNING SYSTEM Billy Miske, the St. Paul heavy- weight, who has done little real fight- ing so far this year, but who helped to raise more than $60,000 for the government by traveling from one end of the country to the othe: giving his services free at benefit boxing shows and paying his own expenses, has just announced at his home that he will not do any more boxing this year, He is another one of the big fellows who wants to be a boxing instructor at the camps. Battling Kunz of South Norwalk, who won the state lightweight cham- {‘mnshlp by his victory over Chick rown at New Haven, the night that the latter broke his arm after having Kunz on the verge of a knockout, will leave with a contingent of Norwalk draftees for Fortress Monroe on Wed- nesday, Oct. 23. Kunz lost the state lightweight title to Louis Bogash of Eridgeport last June at the Casino. Pete Herman, king of the bantam- weights, with his manager, Red Walsh and several other well known box- ers who were stationed at a southern raval training station. have been or- dered to seas, according to the latest reports. Herman's last battle around these parts was with Young Zulu Kid, whom he bested in a very siow bout. BATTLING NELSON IS IN NEEY OF MONEY Scarcely a day goes by now but comes the story of some former great ring star being in, down and out. A few days ago came the tale of Ad Wolgast and now there is the report that Battling Nelson, the famous light- weight champion of a few years ago, s sick, and in need of money. Which it it is true is the most surprising reverse in any of the ring star's ca- reer, for the wonderful little Dane has always been thought to be weal-| thy and a holder of great realtv pro- perties in his home town in Michigan. Nelson, reads the report, is down with Spanish influenza in a Chicago hospital and is quoted as saying: “I am not asking charity, all 1 want is money to bear me through. and ask nothing more than the return of some of the $250,000 I loaned to my friends in_the ys when I had plenty.” Nelson has always been rated as one of the ring men who saved, and prospered, and because of realty hold- ings has been terwgd the “Mayor of Hedgewisch.” Nelson began his career in 189C at the age of 14 and fought for more than 17 years, earning the reputation as one of the most natural fighting machines in ring history. He won the lightweizht title in 1905 and held it until February 22, 1910, when Referee Eddie Smith gave Ad Wolgast the credit of a knockout decision over him after 40 rounds of furious fight- ing. Nelson fought all the great ring men of his time, and his earnings were reported to be more than ,000. The largest purse Nelson fought for was $34,000, with Joe Gans at Goldfield, ovember, 1906. elson lost on a foul. and received §23,000 as his share and Gans $11,- 000, this being the "agreement before the battle. Nelson later knocked out Gans in 17 rounds at San Francisco on July 4 in 1908. son fought untli 1915. He wrote a history of his ca- reer, which was a financial failure, but was reported to have profiied on real- ty investments. SPORT EDITORIAL FROM THE STARS AND STRIPES It is hoped that the 30-odd trim athletic young gentlemen who played or warmed a bench throuch the 1918 world’s * baselfall changpionship will, by the time this appears in print, huve salted their season’s profits, and lave joined the army or. at least, have gone to work—not ball pla g—in a s‘l?ll factory or a shipyard. r the good of baseball we will nla_\,' said these 30-odd-young gen- tlemen the other day after they had held a crowd of 25,000 waiting in the Dleachers for an hour while they and tiieir owners wrangled over the di- vision of the proceeds—after they had wasted 25,000 man hours, made trebly precious by war needs, not counting their own. Before the 1918 world's baseball se- ries was finished arother world's se- arted up on t\> Lorraine fron- i ier—a worl series where there weren't any 25000 people in the grandstand to cheer the players on, a world series where the split- up was considerably m under $800 per a world’s series where the stake human life and the reward the knowledge of an American’s duty done. In this second world's series were some of the baseball plavers who didn't wait around to share in the money and the glory of the first. Might we suggest that, when this 6ld world is running azain on an even keel—when the clerks have gone hack to clerking and the brokers back to brokerinz and the baseball players back to baseball—these men who to- day are throwing grenades instead of baseballs, who are wieldinz bayonets instead of bats, will be adjudeed the men who plaved the game “for the good of baseball?’—Stars and Stripes September 20. TELLS THE SECRET OF HAUGHTON’S COACHING Charley Brickley, the former Har- vard zridiron star, who is now an en- sign in the navy, was talking recent- about the coaching of Percy Haughton. Among the many points of interest that Brickley brought out concerning Haughton's methods was Whenever Harvard played d strong team that had great backfield star {Wo men to cover him :on or before that dav. gore, of Yale, “These three men were great play- ers. I think that Baker was one of the best backs that ever stepped on to a gridiron. But I don’t rememl uim making a first down against Har vard. Haughton's svstem of having two men playing him all the time stopped Baker to a walk. “Haughton's attention to detail was the big factor in his and our success. ‘Eddie’ Mahan and myself were given most of the publicity for Harvard's success in foothnall when we were at Cambridge, but I am frank to say that the great play of the Harvard linesmen, often overiooked, was a big- ger factor than -the public or most critics realized.” NORWICH TOWN James F.

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES TO MEN OVERSEAS The families of men in the service abroag have been longing for some means of making Christmas overseas as merry a one as the conditions per- mit. The war department, the post- cffice department and the American Red Cross are co-operating to make it possible for each man to have one packet from home. Shipping space will not permit more than one to a man. The Red Cross will furnish each family a carton in which to pack the presents. These cartons must be or- dered on Thursday, so everyone des ing one must register at the Red Cross No registrations are received by telephone.

Foreign Secretary Bal- four and Andrew Bonar Law, the chan- cellor of the exchequer, immediately left with it to confer with Premier Lloyd George, who is spending the week end in the country. At this juncture it is unlikely that any responsible British minister will make any detailed declaration on the situation arising from Germany's reply to the Amerigan president. The next step seems to be for the president to consult with the allies for a general consideration of the German answer. On the face of it, the German note, according to an authoritative source, seems to be an acceptance not only of the points of the president’s declara- tion in January, but also of his subse- cuent statements. It may thus be said to look as if the Germans meant ac- ceptance, but of course, it was pointed out, the real difficulty is that Germany hitherto has shown an utter disregard of obligations to speak ths truth or keep her word. The phrasing of the note, it is held, does not yet make it definitely clear if the president’s terms are accepted outright or are only re- garded as a basis ‘for discussion. The reply was received in London too Jate last night to become generally known outside the theatre and restau- rant sections, where at first glance it was accepted as meaning peace. After its publication in the morning news- papers, however, expressions of Suspi- cion were heard on all sides. Many searched the note for some evidence that it might be a ruse to save the German armies from utter destruction, but most of the people are awaiting an authoritative lead before forming a definite opinion. “Unconditional surrender” is rapidly gaining popularity with the average citizen as a response to the German document, and many would not be satisfied with anything less. This feel- ing is accentuated by the German at- tempt to destroy Cambrai and the razing of villages by the enemy in his great retreat, as well as by the sink- ing of the Leinster—all these being acts from which no military advantage could be gained. The reply did not surprise soldiers on furlough from the front. Officers and privates alike are firm in the opinion that the German has received a knockout blow, and knows it and is willing to save anything possible from the wreck. The churches were crowd- ed this morning in the expectation that some reference to the situation would be made in the sermons. While counting at least a nominal acceptance of President Wilson's terms as a great step towards the abject sur- render of Germany, the point enters i here that the n and its domin- as well as of France, alse count. s commented that there is no doubt Germany found herself faceq with the loss of the bulk of her army, caught in the pincers of the advancing allied without any assurance of their escape, and thus the view is taken in some quarters that the terms of evac- uation must include the surrender of those armies unconditionally. America, it is recognized. has saved the cause of the allies, the Sunday Ob- server says, but it points out that without Great Britain not even Amer- ica could have saved it any more than it could have been saved without France, and that the part played by each of these countries has been vital. The opinion is expressed here that a mere vague statement such as the German reply will not be sufficient and that there can be no question of stop- ping military operations. No armistice is possible, it is held. except on most rigorous guarantees that the enemy Is not merely making use of the interval to prepare to begin again later. EDITORIAL OPINION (Continued from Page One) The imperial German autocrats, speak- ing through the lips of a camouflaged government, are grasping at the only straw in the whirlpool of desnair to save their armies from ann ation and themselves from punishment Lowell (Mass.) Courier-Citizen: If Germany means surrender, let Hinden- burg surrender his sword to Foch, Lee surrendered his to Grant at pomattox. Mr. Wilson i into a bargain peace. Flat, unmistak- able, downright surrender is the light- ment that fits Germany's and on it the American people their allies ought constantly to Ap- being invited Philadelphia Record: On its face the reply of the German government means an absolute and unconditional surrender. * * * President Wilson be depended upon to take at the right time and in the right way the step ch will best serve the interests of country ang its associates in this - for the permanent protection of Phlladelphla Inquirer: There can be no peace that does not bring to the bar of justice—not a bar of revenge—the criminals who have committed such fearful crimes against humanity and in utter violation of international law. * * * On the face of the note to the bresident the latter's requirements are m And vet no confidence whatever is to be placed in the German govern- ment's promises. That is what makes the situation so difficult. Baltimore Sun: If Germany is acting in good faith in its answer to Presi- dent Wilson, then, as Secretary Mc- Adoo says, her acceptance of the presi- dent’s demands amounts to uncondi- tional surrender. If so, the war is won. * * % Obviously the thing to do in these circumstances is to find out whether she is acting in good faith, if what she means by acceptance of the president’s terms,-and what we mean by it, are one and the same thing. Worcester Telegram: There is but one condition that can save the Hun from the grinding destruction of Gen- eral Fosh's terrible advance—an armis- tice. It would change all conditions and military lines. Later General Foch would need to plan a new ang different offensive. Let Foch alone and nothing can stop his entry into Berlin. No armistice. New Haven Journal-Courier: The reply from the Beast of Berlin war- r no further exchanges with him official representatives. It is ame old game, played with in- creased dexterity. The Bulgarian ex- ample of evacuation will answer all purposes. What Germany is ready for is an armistice. An armistice means the recovery of her strength. She cannot have it! Waterbury Republican: Who will glve bonds for Germany? Who feels it safe to rely cn her good faith? Who feels sure that her official liars and wreckers of treaties, who can be re- stored to power overnight, will not be running ruthless again before a nego- tiated peace can be carried into effect? Reading (Pa.) News-Times: On its face Germany's reply to President Wil- son is a complete acceptance of his terms for an armistice, still it-will be viewed with suspicion by the allied nations, and justly so. Until German atrocities cease there can be no real faith in the protestations for peace put forth by Maximilian even though he claims to speak for the German people. Altoona (Pa.) Tribune: The German government may be sincere in its pro- testations ‘but the sensible course for America to pursue unless later devel- opments justify another policy is to go forward with her allies making war with all the energy she possesses. * New York Herold (German): Ger- N _the was wont to is all ent Boston Post: submarine fleet it surrender its Let it permi Helgoland an s along the similar to is ships be fought fo a 1 give )na(rm c and ca Cincinnati While there is Germany s to the effect Harrisburg, indicate damasge night doing occurred today cording to matter and poisons. hours filling their pores with lotions and creams when a thorough cleaning out with many has her r surprising quickn ward against former times when manner to exasperate th Tt as to what * Hartford Courant: burning evacu ing innocent people, must be finished * * At the same time recogni cause of the alli anything that ma, attrition which M: out to Boche armies. answer, to rush into peace. disarmed before nezoti; Pa., to the state forestry western parts of the state. late reports Your Skin Requires Hygienic Cleanliness OT merely of the surface; but the sort of cleansing which gets down into pores and rids them of all waste Many women spend Bath and Toilet Powder is what the skin really needs.
