to appear before the Wisconsin state
boxing commission to answer charges

refused to take a cut of $500 in his
guaranty for the recent fight.

But German Newspaper Reminds
President of Possible Danger Ahead.

Amsterdam, May 1.-THE Koelniche
Volks Zeitung, calls President Wilson's
hote to Germany friendly but evinces
wonder at what the president means
when he says the principal danger to
good relations between Germany and

Does he see,'' asks the newspaper
besides the principal danger, another
danger, which he will keep open like
a back door in case he should want an
opportunity to return to it in the
future?"
The article concludes as follows:
What concerns President Wilson
most is that he has achieved a great
diplomatic victory which will assure
his reelection. 1t means that he will
be president until the end of the war
and that Germany will have to reckon
with him throughout the conflict
