THE PRESIDENTS ANSWER.

The world will wait with. more than the usual
expectancy the answer which President Wilson
will make to the latest German peace note At
the time this was written no hint as to its prob
able contents had been made public; and the
German reply such it is GENERALLY admitted,
as to leave the door open for further discussion
If the United States cared to prolong it.
The longer one considers the situation, the
two distinct phases, one of which may possibly
be cleared up at this time in SO far as method is
concerned, and the other of which still presents
tremendous difficulties. The matter of the armis-
tice, when it is settled, will naturally be left to
the Allied military advisers. The President may
merely reiterate that the proper procedure for
securing an armistice is to make the request d.
rectly to the opposing commander and wait his
terms The President has already made it plain
that such is the procedure, and the Germans,
with customary German evasiveness, apparently
had agreed to such an outline.
But the question as to peace is an entirely diff
ferent matter, and will be settled, not upon the
battlefield, but by the heads of the nations in
volved. Ard before the question can even be
considered, certain conditions precedent to peace
discussion must be established by the Germans
The first is proof of governmental reform in Ger
many which will convince the Allies that there is
a responsible governmental organization WITH
which the Allies may confidently deal To us this
means the diseestablishment of the Hotenzollarn
line IN Germany and with it the unseating of the
military party in Germany. But the Allies viii
require more than a promise of reform; tney
will want the proof that the changes have been
effected, and they will be the judges as t. the
completeness of the changes.
We must believe that the authorities in Wash
lsington are in touch with German information
centers of which the public, quite naturally,
knows nothing and we must believe that the
President will satisfy himself entirely upon these
points before making any answer. They consti-
tute the fundamental issue and the entire frame
work Of peace will totter unless this foundation
stone is well laid. America has been fooled often
lenough by putting her trust in irresponsible Ger
man heads She will not be duped again

WOLF BOY Is
|. AFTER KEWPIE
Kid Williams Is Ready to
Meet Johnny Ertle in
.Return Go.

Baltimore, March 4-Clamoring
for return battle with Johnny
ErtIe. the bantam phantom from
st. Paul, Kid williams. former
king of the worlds bantam-weights.
returned yesterday from Denver,
Col. where on last Monday even
ing he exhibited his old-tIme form
in handing out a Iscing to Young
Leopold. an ambitious youngster of
the West. Williams was accom-
panied as far as Pittsburgh by his
manager. Dave Wartnik, who drop
ped OF in the Smoky City to arrange
a match for the Baltimore Wolf
Boy.
The beauties and the gold Of the
West were not aIlUring to Will
Jams. who was glad to get back
into his home town and is eager TO
convince the local fight fans that
he is the same Kid Williams, who
during his career as the peer of
bantams, met all comers. He side
stepped none To get back to Balti-
more Williams stated last night
that he and Wartnik had cast aside
three fiattering offers. one OF which
was from the Lakeside Athletic
Club. in Denver. before which he
wallOped Leopold; the second COM
ing from Cincinnati, and the third
from Racine, Wis.
Jack Hammer. the Denver pro-
moter, wanted Williams TO indulge
in ten-rOunder with Jabez White,
the Albany bantam. who recently
defeated Pal Moore. OF Memphis.
Jimmy Shevlin, a boxing impresario
Of Cincinnati, was ready TO book the
Tiger with Young Sandow, while
in Racine, Williams was wanted to
meet Pekin Kid Herman. williams
did not carry a scratch as the re-
suit of his seance with Leopold.
That Williams fought one of his
hest battles can be judged from the
following account OF the contest,
which appeared in the Denver Post:
Young Leopold last pIght lost a
referees decision TO Johnny Kid
Williams. former Gautam-weIght
champion. Of Baltimore, a: the open
ing OF the Lakeside arena. because
he failed to show aggressiveness
when Williams. by clever tactics,
forced the fighting TO close quarters.
Villa ans was in the front from the
tap OF the gong for the second round
and apparently tried 10 stay in the
lead just enough 10 take the decision
away from Leopold. who was plainly
al sea trying 10 solve williams tao
tics. Only once during tie entire
fight did Williams cut Loose and then
only to have his attack spoiled when
both Of the boys fell down on a slip
perry canvas.
The fight from some angles was
as pretty as anyone could ask. Leo
pod. when able TO mold Williams
away. landed hard swings that twice
sent Williams covering up and back
ing away. Williams, on the other
hand. when he did cut loose. showed
Leopold so many gloves that he must
have thought there were seven men
in the ring. The little Denver nat
tier. as always. showed that he has
a rare fighting heart. End it is a pity
that he has not developed more fight
ing ability than he was able to show
last night.

'CHANEY READY
FOR Big BOUT
Baltimorean Facing Tough
Opponent in Waiver.
Whelan Meets Mack.

Baltimore, Md, March 5.-One Of
the most important bantam-weight
contests to be staged here in recent
wears is to feature the fight card of
the American Athletic Association to-
morrow evening at Albaugh's Thea
ter. when Young CLANCY. the tall and
ranRy East Baltimorean, stacks up
against Benny Waiver, the holder of
the French championship. Waiver re-
Gently furnished a~big surprise In the
fistic ranks when he defeated Joe
Lynch, of New York. who leaped into
the pinnacle of fame on a single even
ing when he stopped Kid Williams,
the Baltimore wolf Boy" it being
the first time that Williams had fall
ed to finish in a bout since he had
become a topnotcher.
The winner of tomorrow night s
windup of the triple A will have a
clear right to a mill with Pete Her
man for the world 8 bantam-weight
championship. In twenty-five battles
in this country Waiver has not been
defeated and he is now rated as one
of the most dangerous rivals for the
worlds bantam laurels. The French
man, in the opinion of Eastern fight
experts, possesses the greatest left
hand of any of the smaller maulers
of the game. He Is clever and fast
and il believed to have a great chance
to become the king of the universe
in the bantam division.
Chaney's form OF late has caused
the boxing fans to take him very Sc
riously. From a preliminary perfor-
mer he has rapidly earned his right
to meet the best In the game by de-
feating Battling Reddy and Frankie
Brown, New York bantams, who have
figured in limit mills with Champion
Herman, and with Kid Wolfe, OF
Cleveland.
The distance of tomorrow night
battle is to be fifteen rounds. and the
wiseacres agree that the route Will
favor Chaney's chances. the local boy
having demonstrated his ability to
traverse II. while Waiver has not
fought over ten rounds since his ar
rival in this country.
A most attractive preliminary pro-
gram has been arranged for the
Chaney-Valver setto. There will be
special ten-rounder between Billy
Whelan. Of st. Paul, a sparring part

Mike Gibbons. who is now located
here, and Alvie Mack. of New York,
who is after a match with George
CLANCY. Both are boxers of class and
the bout should prove a good one.
Joe CLANCY is booked to box Willie
Fitzgerald, of Philadelphia, six
rounds. while Tim Callahan, the New
Orleans bantam-weight. is to meet a
well-known Philadelphia bantam, also
over the siX-rOund trail. The advance
sale for the show has been large and
it is expected that Albaugh's will be
taxed to its capacity when CLANCY
and Waiver square of for action.
