Washington, Feb. 23-In the Carib-
bean sea, far off the Mosquito coast of
Nicaragua, are Great Corn island and
Little Corn Island The United States
is soon to be richer by the possession of
these two tiny dots on the map. Their
transfer is one of the stipulations of
the Nicaraguan treaty which has just
been ratified by the United States SEN
ate and which will undoubtedly be &C
copied by the Nicaraguan government
The United States leases the island
outright for years, with the option
of renewing the lease for another 80
years.
The other provisions Of the Nicara-
guam treaty are well understood. The
United States gets an important naval
base on the Gulf of Fonseca, and 1t &C
quires in perpetuity exclusive rights
to construct an interoceanic canal
across Nicaraguan territory. In re-
turn for the islands in the Caribbean,
the naval DdSe Oh lne EdCluC, ana the
perpetual canal rights, the United
States pays Nicaragua the sum of
$3OOO,00O The bargain is one which
an overwhelming majority of the SEN
ate has approved.
The Corn islands will be fortified,
and according to the frank wording of
the treaty, will serve double purpose.
They will protect the proprietary rights
granted by Nicaragua and they will
also protect the Panama canal. They
will, indeed, be of large importance,
for at present there is no American
possession nearer than Key West. The
Corn islands will be the outposts of
the isthmus

JESSMUST HURRY
TO Get IN SHAPE
After Five Days of Training Willard
Finds Himself Just as Heavy as
When He Started.

New York, March AFTER five days
of training Jess Willard, heavyweight
champion of the world, has discovered
that he is not getting rid of his sur
plus weight as rapidly as he expected.
In fact, Willard weighed just about as
much yesterday as he did when he ar
rived here last Friday.
The champion and his manager,
Tom Jones, realized yesterday that the
course of training that Willard has
been following is not strenuous enough.
Yesterday morning Willard extended
the distance of his road work and ran
around Central Park until he covered
eight miles.
In the afternoon, when he went to
the Pioneer Athletic club for his gym
nasium work, Tom Jones decided that
the champion would have to cut short
his work in the ring. He boxed two
short rounds with Jack Hemple and
two shorter ones with Walter Mona
udu utu w "dS 81 lllCu IidL
he willingly hurried to his room to be
rubbed down
Chairman Fred Wenck of the state
athletic commission watched Willard
box and did not hesitate to say that the
champion was far from being in the
best of condition. Chairman Wenck
commented on Wizards wind, which
was very bad. He pulled hard after
one round with Hemple and after his
second round with Monahan he was
blowing like porpoise.
The chairman of the boxing COM
mission ventured the opinion that Will
lard needed some rough and ready
sparring partners, as his exhibitions
with Hemple and Monahan are too
tame. Last Saturday Wizards boxing
looked good, but it has developed that
it was the same kind of boxing that
he did all last summer with a wild
west show with Monahan. Chairman
Wencke was of the opinion that Will
lard will have to settle down to a
much harder routine if he expects to
get into the best shape for his match
with Moran at Madison Square Gar
den on March %.
