-"Finding public sentiment in op
position to the proposed heavyweight
championship between Champion Jess
Willard and Fred Fulton on July 4."
Colonel Miller said in his statement.
"I have called off thp bout
Prompted by Sportsmanship.
V'lt was my first effort in the pro
motion of a boxing , contest and on
my part it was sportsmanship that
prompted my efforts. I went into it
simply for the purpose of staging a
championship and were it not for the
fact that sentiment is against it due
t$ the war, I am certain that I could
have satzed the contest as I had
olanned."
,4WilIard, in announcing his de
chtion to abide by Miller's decision,
announces that he is ready to, fight
any time public sentiment indicates
that there should be a championship
battle.. His statement follows:
-"At the solicitation of Colonel Mill
f t I airreed to re-enter the ring to
defend my title against Fred Fulton
. a i t i At.- : :
on iuiv 4. l was unucr wic miuicssiuu
that the public demand that I fight,
so I consented. Now, however, it
seems that conditions have changed
arid that the public does not want me
t& battle. I have olaced the matter
of'matching me up to Colonel Miller
entirely. If he has called ott the uout,
I shall abideby his decision.

NO PLACE FOR
GERMAN IN THE
OMAHASCHOOLS
German "Kultur" will no longer
have a place in the cirriculum of the
Omaha public schools. The three
high schools have eliminated it from
the course of study because of
the refusal of students to study the
lamruatre.
"German js at last out of the high !
school of commerce because of the
refusal of the pupils to have anything
to do with the subject," stated Prin
cipal Porter. "The last class to take
German in school will be disbanded
in three weeks."
Second and third year courses will
continue to be taught at Central
High, but the beginning classes have
been stricken from the school pro
gram. "I do ot believe that there
will be any pupils next semester who
will wish to continue the study of
German," said A. J. Wedeking, head
of the teaching staff. "Credits will
be giveij if the pupils wish to drop
the subject regardless of the present
credit rules for language."
"I know of no pupils who desire
to begin German at the Central High
school," said Principal Masters. "We
are urging pupils of the German de
partment to study French or Spanish.
The enrollment in the French and
Spanish departments has increased
within the year. German classes have
shrunk more than 50 per cent. There
are four teachers of German at Cen
tral High.
Principal Kuwait of the South High
says there is no desire to continue
German in the school there. Students
will be urged to study French, but
will be permitted to finish their Ger
man course if they wish.
Teachers in the Latin department
have eliminated the study of the
ancient Germans whom Ceasar en
countered. Miss May Copeland has
taken the lead, and is working among
her students to prevent the further
spread of any German propaganda.

General Mahon Removed '
As Irish Military Chief
London, May 10. Lieutenant Gen
eral Sir Bryan Mahon, commander-in-chief
of the .forces in Ireland, an
nounced publicly last night that he
was to leave Ireland. He said he did
not know who his successor
would be.
This confirms rumors current for
several days that important changes
in the military command in Ireland
are pending. The departure of Gen
eral Mahon, it is believed, will be re
garded in Ireland as an indication
that the government has decided to
proceed boldly with Irish conscrip
tion. Lewis Declared Winner

Louisville. Ky., May 10. Edward
(Strangler) Lewis, of Lexington, Ky.,
