BRYAN SENDS REPLY
TO GREAT BRITAIN
Acknowledges Receipt Of
Preliminary Note; Wait
For Details.

WASHINGTON, Jan 14.--ln note
delivered today by Ambassador Page
at London, Secretary Bryan aclSnowl-
edged receipt Of the preliminary re-
ply of the British government to the
American note protesting against the
treatment of neutral commerce by the
British fleet. He expressed apprecia-
tion Of the friendly spirit In which the
communication had been received and
noted with satisfaction that the prin-
ciples Of international law set forth
by the United states had been ac-
cepted.
Further comment Mr.. Bryan said,
would be premature, In view OF the
intention Of the British government to
reply later in detail. Following Is a
paraphrase Of the secretary's note.
The friendly spirit I'm which the
British government received the
American note Of December 2S is ap-
preclated. No doubt Is entertained by
US that the cordial relations between
the governments will continue pending
diplomatic discussion. This govern
ment notes with satisfaction that the
principles OF international law as set
forth in the American note are ac-
cepted by his majestys government.
As the original note Is being exam
ined with care by the British govern
ment with q view to replying further
and in detail, It would seem prema-
ture for me to make further answers
at this time,
"It Is the intention OF this govern
ment to consider In connection with
the further reply Of the British gov
ernment the points raised by Sir Ed
ward Grey in connection with the
preliminary answer"
II had been reported that the Pan
American neutrality commission when
it met today might take up the ques-
ton Of whether all the American re-
publics should join the United States
In its protest against the Interference
with shipping TO neutral countries
After the meeting, however, 1t was
said there had been no discussion OF
this manner
None Of the subcommittee ap-
pointed to study various plans sub
mitted for the maintenance Of neu-
trality and full neutral rights by the
countries Of the western hemisphere
was ready to report to the commission
today Exchanges are continuing be-
tween the different governments in an
effort to crystaliZe opinion on the
Venezuelan plan, which plan calls for
the conyening Of an international CON
ference OF all the neutrals TO discuss
the problems Of shipping rights.

JOHNSON CAN
BEAT Willard
Bob Fitzsimmons Claims Ne
gro Can Defeat Jess in
Four Rounds.
ADVANTAGE OF YOUTH
The Cowboy Does Not Know How to
Use the Enormous Strength
Which He Possesses.
ADVANTAGE OF YOUTH

This is how Bob Fitzsimmons predicts
day and his comparison OF the two
contenders for the worlds heavyweight
championship:
johnson will beat Jess Willard in
will have the advantage OF youth and
rugged strength. but his advantage will
be more than offset by the champions
wonderful ring knowledge and superior
experience. The COW puncher has a hard
punch, but he won't be able to land it
on the negro"
Old Fftz,- now in his 55th year, is we'll
qualified to give an option on the big
battle Monday. He was one Of the
greatest fighters of all times. Fitzsim-
mons fought Johnson and knows willard
intimately. He Is eager to see a white
man win the title. but is all for johnson
as fighter. In his opinion the champion
knows too much for the Kansas giant,
who will be thoroughly outclassed.
Jack johnson is the greatest fighter
in the world" said the old time warrior
today. He could lick all the white
hopes from San Francisco to New York,
with Joe Jeanette and Sam Langford
thrown in for good measure.
No one knows the negro's full power
He never had to show it against JEFF
fries. Tommy Burns or Ketchel John
son is a master of ring knowledge, and
IS big. fast and strong besides. I believe
the negro will be as strong Monday as
he ever was. His retirement won't
weaken him any. johnson is too wise a
fellow to dissipate. He wants to hang
on to his title and values it more than
anything else he has. Any fighter can
retire and come back provided he has
sufficient training and preparation.
Judging from Havana reports, the cham
pion is well trained
Fftzsimmons is not very much i'm
pressed with willard. He doesn't think
the mastodonic Westerner is ripe" for
big bout.
willard is big enough" went on the
veteran, but he won't know how to
make use of his strength against John
son. L believe there are three or four
others in this country right now who
could lick Willard. He should have been
taught how to box and handle himself
in the ring. Some time ago 1 wanted to
teach him a few things. He said he
would come out to my place, but never
did.
Down in his camp Willard has spar
ring partners who rough him up and
that's all. They can't teach him any
thing. He needs lot of instruction and
hasn't been getting IL.
1T is my firm opinion that Willard
is not the man to take the heavy
weight championship from Jack John
SON.
