NEGOTIATIONS ARE PRACTICAL
LY COMPLETED ACCORDING
TO A REPORT.
$25, 900, 900 SAID TO BE PRICE
Treaty Probably viii Be Signed On
Early Date-May Await the Re-
turn of Secretary Lansing
From Vacation.

Washington.-Only determination Of
a few minor deails remains to complete
negotiation of a treaty between the
United States and Denmark providing
for acquisition of the Danish West In.
dies by this government at a purchase
price of S25, 00O, 900.
Sc nearly in agreement are the two
governments that an official White
House announcement predicted that
the treaty would be signed at once.
Delay in closing the negotiations
was not explained, but 1t was indicat-
ed that 70 material barrier to their
successful outcome had developed. 1t
was suggested that the signing might
await the return of Secretary Lansing
from his vacation early in August.
The exact provisions of the agree
ment are being closely guarded in the
belief that publicity at this time might
place the negotiations at a disadvan-
tage. Officials reluctantly confirmed
that the purchase virtually had been
consummated and betrayed displeas.
ure that reports Of the advanced status
of the negotiations had been circula,.
ed in press dispatches.
Their chief concern is understood
to be the possibility that ONE third
nation might bring pressure to pear
to defeat the project.

HE HAD MADE NO PROMISES
Substitute Was Not Asked II H
"couId" Play the Game, But
Only II He "Wouid."

Although he will not get many op.
portunities of playing in cricket
matches this year, George Robey will
help to keep himself fit by p~racticing
at the nets at Lords.
The famouse comedian has a great
love for the summer game, and he tells
an amusing story of one Of those off
days, when everything goes wrong,
which ono befell him. He was watch.
ing a game when one of the captains
came up to him, explained that he was
"a man short" and asked him If he
would play.
Certainly" agreed Robey.
He went out to Geld, and chiefly dis
tinguished himself by missing two
catches, fumbling the ball, and so on.
Not content with that, he made q duck
when he went in to bat.
The captain who had got him to play
took things badly.
"Why, you can't play at all !" ne said
sneeringly.
"Sir." replied George Robey majec-
tically, when you asked me to play
you asked me if 1 would, not if I
could. And Sc that's that."-Pearson's
Weekly.

Will Be An Impressive Event,

Through the activities of the two pa

Regiment of Mississippi troops now at
Camp Swep Taylor will soon be in
possession Of a mammoth national
flag to be held in their possession az
long as the organization exists.

specimen of Old Glory now floating

erected flag pole at the camp, II Is
said that the flag which these loyal
Mississippi workers have secured for
presentation to Col. Hoskins and com.
mand is a much larger and finer piece
OF bunting, made of the best gros grain

A program is being mapped out
suitable to such an occasion, which
will include a rendition of the "Star
