: Was About All in at Boxing
Contest Aboard Transport
When Short Surcease So
i Rested Him He Won.
New' York, July 12.-When the
armored cruiser North Carolina
docked at Pier 4, Brooklyn, a few
days ago, the army men on board
were both surprised and discomfort
ed to learn that a wireless message
announcing the signing of the peace
treaty flashed to the transport at
se$ was authentic. They declared
that they had believed it was a
"frame up," and thereby hangs a
tale.
rAs soon as . peace was officially
concluded the. radio department at
Washington se,nt out wireless noti
fication to all "transports, directing
them to stop wherever they might
hi. fire a salute of 21 guns, have
the shin's band olav the "Star
Spangled Banner," and order every
body on board to stand rigidly at
attention throughout the ceremony.
. When Capt. William D. Mac-
Etougall, commander of the North
Carolina, received his copy of the
historic wireless the 1,595 troops on
board, some army and some navy
men, commanded by Maj. R. L.
Radcliff, were cheering madly the
participants in the star bout, of 'an
entertaining pugilistic program, ar-
. ranged to rehe the tedium of their
trip home. '
.In the event- James ("$pike")
O'Brien of Brooklyn, represented
the army and Fred Warren, an oiler
on the ship, carried the colors of
the navy. Both boys had put up a
lively bout and Warren was about
"all In."

The management of the
Member of The Bee family held their annual picnic and outing at Krug park Thursday night Everybody from the office boy up attended the festivities
park united in extending all of the courtesies possible and an enjoyable evening was spent by The Bee family.
A basket dinner was seryed on the park picnic grounds, followed by a bathing party in thebig pool. Both the children and the grownups enjoyed the cool waters of the artificial
Folowi nghe bathing' party visit was made to the various amusement devices to' complete the' entertainment. The roller coaster, airplane swing and other thrills .were thor
oughly enjoyed. A "wicked hip" was "shook" by The Bee, family in the mammoth dancing pavilion to wind up the day's pleasure. , ,
everybody straightened up, Warren
groggy as he was, even staggering
to the ropes and holding himself as
erect as possible under the circum
stances. When the reverberation of the
last of the salute of 21 guns died
away and the cqncluding strains of
the national anthem melted into
silence, the gong rang for resump
tion of the interrupted bout.
Whether -his deep inhalation of
bracing sea air or the inspiration
derived from the gunfire and the
stirring band music accomplished
the near miracle will never be
known. At any rate Warren, the
sailor, leaped from his corner with
all the vigor "in the world and
dashed at "Spike."
Spectators of the thrilling affair
declare hat Warren pounded
"Spike" all about the padded ring,
and in a minute and a half crashed
a "haymaker" to the trooper's chin
that sent him over the ropes and
ended the scrap.
Instantly all was uproar and
wildest confusion about the ring.
A tremendous roar of anger and
chagrin went up from the throats
of the army rooters, and cries of
"fake," "frame up," popped out of
them, like corks from bottles in a
drinking bout. ,
As soon as the North Carolina
touched her pier eager voices from
her deck called out questions as to
whether peace was really signed.
Assured it was. the questioners
snorted with disguest. "Well, we
would have sworn it was a deliber
ate plan to -give the navy a chance
to beat us."

Statement Regarding
Release of Soldiers
Sgt. Charles D. Higby, son of
B. Higby, 204 South Thirty-fifth
avenue, now with the American Ex
peditionary Forces in France, in a
communication to The Bee denies
that all troops of- the American Ex
peditionary Forces, excepting those
in the army of occupation and regu
lars, have been released from duty,
as Gen. Peyton C. Marsh is said to
have stated, and declares that at the
present time most of the national
army is still in France.
"At different times statements
have appeared in the papers to the
effect that troops other than the ar
my of occupation, general prisoners,
diseased men and others of that type
would be returned to the United
States before July. This is a direct
insult to men whose people and
friends know that he1 is not in the
army of occupation. Naturally it is
a reflection on the man. One sol
dier I know had a letter from his
heartbroken, mother stating that
she underetood why he hadn't re
turned home.
"Another man has not had a let
ter from his fiancee since the ap
pearance of the statement."

COLO AS
Morris & Co's Head
Invited Inquiry i in
Profits of Packers
The following is a statement by
Edward Morris, president of Morris
& Co., in reference to a bill
brought before congress by Senator
Kenyon recommending the packers
being controlled by federal license
and commissioner of food stuffs.
Mr. Morris feels that the bill is en
tirely unfair and in the statement
below invites non-political inquiry.
"Morris & Co.,' he said have
always favored and would now
welcome a fair and impartial
investigation by some competent
and non-political body along eco
nomic and constructive lines of the
entire meat and food question from
the calf on the farm of the producer
to the steak on the table, of the
consumer. And I want to say just as
emphatically as larlguage will permit
that such an investigation would re
veal that the business of the packers
is conducted efficiently and on a
minimum profit, only the faction
of 1 cent a pound, and these are the
two cardinal, propositions involved,
so far as the packers are concerned.
"Morris & Co. stand ready and
williing to assist the government
in any way within their power to
discover and correct any evils that
there may be in he present situa
tion, and particularly as to the pres
ent high prices, but this can only be
done in the interest of the public
generally( along non-political, big,
constructive lines. The packers have
done much for the producer in
countries, much for the consumer
building up markets in foreign
in the way of utilizing by-products,
much for the cause of justice and
liberty generally by 'delivering the
goods' in the recent great conflict,
and under the circumstances they
are entitled to fair treatment."
