JOK UAXS' LAST BOTT. Joe Hans' last bout was fought nine | years ago, March 12, 190>, when he j boxed 10 rounds with Jabez White in New York. The "white plague had the j colored boxer in Its tolls, and a little j later the former lightweight cham- j pion went out to Arizona to make a j losing fight against the scourge. The disease made rapid progress i and poor Gans was soon reduced fp a | shadow of his former self. In the last j few months of his life he "got religion." and spent most of time praying i and begging his friends to see the error of their ways. During his ring career Gans made a fortune but got I rid of most of Jt in gambling. Like so many other colored boys, he was unable to resist the game of j "craps." and his experience with the " bones" cost him thousands of dollars. Except for this falling Gans was | a pretty decent eort and riot at all like Johnson in his tastes. + RECOMMEND F.

Dr. Nash also spoke, at the midweek eorvice to some 300 men. Dr. McKeen preached to a full house on Sunday night. His address was directed to Christian men and after the sermon ^ large number rededicated their lives to the service of Cod. The regiments around our hut are now pretty thoroughly organized for the intensive religious campaign of Holy week. On Wednesday and Thursday nights the Christian men met in one of the side rooms foi ' prayer and talking over plans for the j campaign.

BY PRIVATE BOB JENNINGS. Clarendpn, March 12. A nthnnv nMrASt: I am happy today, Anthony, for I have Just received your letter of the 9th. telling me that your Illness to| passing away, that yi>u are blessed i with the Joyful days of convalescence. , 1 read your kind missive, once, twice, thrice, and many more times, so transported with happlnesa was I. Each nignt ana morning i "?? praying for you. Perhaps I should have made that confession before, but I feared to add further to the eares of your Illness in imparting the knowledge that I das pining for your wellbeing so much. You understand and you pardon me, don't-you, Anthony? Must 1 say that you need not be In the least solicitous anent my welfare at- home? It seems selfish, grossly selfish, for one to even, expect such a thought from a dear soldier friend, when we at home are having , sugar and cream in our cofTee, butter upon our bread, and are partaking of the other luxuries of life. But the war cannot always last?surely no roe can i long stand %efore an American army comprising men of the type of Anthony Day. And now about the trivial things of life. 1 say trivial because one at I home, near your very home, dear, has!. committed himself to a deed which j quite overthrows the hitherto unctaaU j lenged loyalty of American tradition. Rod Smith has appealed the decision of Ihe draft board, and claims exemption on the grounds of "conscientious objection." But he certainly I shall not get far with it when the I board investigates his .life and finds that he drinks and has hi* nights of! unwisdom far more than the average ] man. I am at a loss to imagine that; any sane person can be opposed to a war whose sole principle is the pro- j taction of our own lives and property and the perpetuity of our sacred ideals of liberty. And yet, Rod wili not concede that the war on the part of the entente allies is a Christian duty. But already hjs attitude is working its virus upon him. Last night he 'phoned Alice to take her tQ the Strand. And she refused. Yes. Alice Benton, who had long been thought to have been secretly betrothed to him. With her own lips she informed me that she told him frankly that he was In the wrong trench with respect to the war and until he got out of it and shifted j-his guns to the proper side she would | have nothing further to do with him. i That's strong language. Anthony, but I It's Alice Befiton every second, dont | you think? { Yes, I am still doing my bit for the Red Cross. Since Washington's birth-1 I day, working only of the evenings, I I have completed one pair of thin wool j socks and started -another. When the I second pair will have been finished 11 | propose to send all lof them to you I j for wear, now that the spring days I are come. Each day in Clarendon | the people seem to be reaching closer | to a realisation that unless the good | old U. S. A. strikes across the water J with a punch, the wor is certain to | I be a long-drawn-out one. I Anthony, I fear that this epistle to j I you will read like a prose dithyramb. But you /emember on one other oc-1 casion I pleaded with you to overlook my lack of sequence. And after all. is it not what one really says that measures deepest, rather than the particular mode of utterance? "Pedantry never reaps fruit In correspondence"?I am quoting you from one df your own letters forwarded to ? me when you first arrived at the cantonment. When are you coming home to see I me again ? It has been three months since your last furlough, 1 recall; therefore. I believe that you should be able to obtain another leave of absence as soon as you are your own good strong self again. And France! France! With the opening of every letter I anticipate the news that your division is ready to go across. It grivcs me to think or your going, ana yet the duty and the valor ot It fills me with a sense of admiration and^ with Joy. But you shall not remjiin long in France, for I repeat again my deep-rooted conviction In the superiority of the American army as opposed to the forces of the Teutons. So onward when the time. comes, over the sea. over the top to victory, liberty and peace?for the spirit of Ood is over the American army. Of that 1 am certain, Anthony. If ever we finite creatures are permitted to be in the least measure certain.. Remember the Lusltanln! Tour own. GRACE SHIVELY. .
