Dick Burgc was a name well known to the light fans on both sides of tho Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly because of his remarkable battle with Kid Lnvigno for the lightweight cham pionship of the" world. Dick was sev eral inches taller than the Haglnaw Kid, uud he had a considerable ad vantage in weight, but, much to his surprise and that of tho Kngllsh fans, he was knocked out In the seventeenth round. He gave it good account of himself before he fell, however, and. there were times when the Kid had reason to fear that he had taken on ' too good a man. After Burgo quit the ring he became a fight promoter. That was In 1900. He enlisted as a volun teer In the British army In 1915 and served with the colore for three jreira ?Detroit Free Press. Rulers With Business Instinct?. At the outset of his Imperial career the grandfather of t.he former German kaiser,* Frederick William, owed hi* accumulation of money to his com* mercial dealings. One of bis commer cial undertakings was to start milk rounds. which did exceedingly well, la spite of being carried on suj> rosa, for the German, courtiers found that thp Imperial favor was dependent upon (heir patronizing the Imperial dairy.? In this way the old emperor created gubuge milk monopoly) in various cjtles, and reaped a correspondingly large profit. - Kaiser Wilhelm himself bid ~ keen commercial Instincts, and had ? finger In, most of the big German un dertakings. In Germany It was cur rently reported that Ballln was mere ly the flgure-head of the North Ger man Lloyd line of steamships, and . that the kaiser was the real man at the helm, and the same thing was liftld of many other money-making con cerns. ,.
