Geneva Has Not Accepted
Offer of League Capital

GENEVA, Nov. 10 (By The Associat-
cd Press) ).-The Swiss government has
not yet accepted the offer of the
Peace Conference to make Geneva the
seat of the League of Nations. When
the offer was made it was thanght
here that the Swiss would gladly &C.
cept it without psrley.
One reason why this has not been
done is that action upon Switzeriand's
adherence to the league has been so
long delayed. Another reason is the
opposition to the location of the seat
of the league in Geneva on the part
Of Swiss Germsnophile Socialists and
radicals, who are strongly opposed to
the league.
Their principal argument is that, if
Germany and Austria are excluded
from the league even temporarily, it
would be not league Of nations but

story of the girlish martyr, Saint Eu-
Iaria, whose ashes lie in the Barcelona
cathedral, perhaps the darkest Of all
great churches and among the most
beautiful in Spain.
Cool fountains play in the cloister

"Many of Barcelona's political dis
turbances may be. attributed to q diff
ference of temperament between the
Catalan and the souther MS paniard;
difference akin to that between the
Yankee and the Dixie plantation owner
before the Civil War. The Catalan
more nearly resembles his thrifty, en-
terprising, practical French neighbor
than the courtly. dreamy Castilian.
Moreover, the Catalan emphasizes this
difference by speaking and writing in
his own dialect called the harshest of
Romance tongues"

General March and Secretary of War
Baker recommended q standing army
of 650,000, General Wood said that
250,000 would be sufficient, and sin E.
gularly enough, General Pershing
backed him up.
Third, General Wood has the moral
support of the large number of people
who are convinced he did not get a
square deal from the Wilson admins
tration, either at the beginning of the
war OF afterward. You may call it a
sympathy vote, or whatever you like.
1t is not easily defined.
'Under Dog Sentiment" for Wood
"To make my meaning clear, l might
say that whenever you see big dog
pitch onto a little one, you instinctive-
ly hope the smaller dog will win. 1t is
sort of under dog sentiment Gen
eral Wood has that very thing. The
Democratic administration tried to
lose or bury him. and failed COM
petelV. Every time they tried in
Washington to bury General Wood he
came out of the sarcophagus bigger
and stronger than ever.
Senator Harding is naturally very
strong. He has had a wide experience
as Governor and Senator. He comes
from a state that has given us great
Presidents, and state, moreover,
which we need in the Republican
column. If there grows up in the
minds of the people the conviction tha,
the country would be better off with
out military man of any sort in the
White House. then Senator Harding
will be next in line, and General Wool
will drop by the wayside."

nominee for President.
at will be Wood or Harding" Mr..
Lyons said at the Republican Club yes
terday. General Wood is obtaining a
considerable lead and his opponents
are going TO have hard work to head
him off. The newspapers print items
every day about leaders and prospec
tive delegates coming out for the gen
eral. The tide is difficult to stem when
1T once sets it. General Wood has q
good lead at present and his campaign
is In the hands Of men who apparently
know how to work.
PERSONALLY, l believe the contest
lies between General Wood and Sena-
tor Harding. I am not speaking from

to have 1T. / reason from obvious pre-
misses in predicting that it will be
either General Wood or Senator Hard

ut might be asked, How about Gov
by those who profess to speak with
knowledge that Governor Lowden is not
in rugged health. If that is a fact, it
soon will be known among the dele
gates after they get together, and if
there is anything to be regretted on
that score the delegates are lkly to
stop considering Governor Lowden no
matter how eligible the Illinois Gov
ernor may be from other points of
view The work of the next President
Is going to be exceedingly laborious,
and the Republicans will select man
who will be good for eight years of
wear and tear as Chief Executive.
"Gneral Wood has the better chance
of winning for three main reasons.
First, he inherts the mantle of
Theodore Roosevelt. The people who
recall the story of the mantle of
Elijah and the power that went with
younger prophet, will understand the
full force of the simile.
Colonel Roosevelt, if he had lived,
would have been chosen as the Re
publican standard bearer without op-
position. Moreover. he would have
carried all the Republican states. and
about half of those below the Mason
and Dixon line.
Roosevelt Following An Asset
General Wood is regarded as
legatee of the Roosevelt following. He
will not have all OF it, but he certain
ly has lot of it, including the Roose-
welt family, | am told. With the peo-
pie all over the country building
Roosevelt memorials and pointing to

CAN HE BEAT HIS AGE?
Fans Eagerly Watching Training
Methods jess VIII Employ.

Fans Eagerly Watching Training
Methods jess VIII Employ.
New York, May 29.-The methods
Jess Willard will employ in reaching
condition for his battle with Jack
Dempsey will make interesting read
ing for the fans.
Willard. according to his own ad
mission, was over the draft age-31-
two years ago, and that would make
him better than 80 now. AS a matter
of fact he has confessed to more years
than that. Tom Jones often has de.
clared that Jess was near 40, and only
recently asserted that Jess was over
that mark.
Depends ON His Size.
Willard seemingly is very confident
that he will be able to take the meas
ure of his challenger, for he believes
implicitly that he is too big for any
man to whip, regardless of the differ
ence between his own age and that of
the challenger.
One rule that always has held good
in the pugilistic game is that age can
not reach condition. Lay off always
tighten muscles and lay on layers of
flesh that do not come off under the
routine treatment relied on by most
H.
harder with the years. No boxer ever
has succeeded in conditioning himself
for hard scrap after reaching the
age of Willard-if we take Tom
Jones's word.
Says He Is Fit Now.
The big champion weighed about
245 pounds when he defeated Jack
johnson, and it is generally under
stood that he was in better condition
at that time than ever before in his
life. Recently he asserted he would
be in as good shape for Dempsey as
for johnson.
1t will be interesting to watch the
methods he uses to bring about that
situation.
Willard now is on his way to his
training camp from the Pacific coast,
and probably will begin training at
once on arrival in Toledo. He has
been going thru preliminary work
while preparing a motion picture in
California.

come direct to Toledo. The champion
left Los Angeles with Jack Hempel,
one of his sparring partners. yester-
day. Willard. Archer said, plans for
four weeks of intensive training.
He said the title holder tipped the
scales at 1854 pounds five days ago,
which is half a pound below the
weight he made for his fight with
Frank Moran in New York in 1916. his
last championship match.
Willard expects to have sparring
partners in camp by Monday. They
will include Hempel. Tim O'NeiI, a
light heavyweight of Chicago, and an
other heavyweight. The champion
does not intend to have more than
three sparring partners in camp at any
time, Archer said.

-Four Yankees Capture Thirty
Five Huns.

A letter received last week by
Nicholas Campbell at Cotton
wood, from his brother Joseph
M. Campbell, who is now in
France brings the news that he
is rapidly recovering from a
wound received the latter part
of September, although he is
still in the hospital. His lette,
indiczses that he has seen sor$
very exciting times and served
at the front under fire for nearly
six weeks before he was finally
wounded in the neck by shrap-
mel.
He says that the 18th of Sept.
ember was a big day for them
and that with three comrades he
captured thirty-five Germans to
start out the day. He is very
we'll pleased with France and
the city of Beaune where he is al
present but is more than ever
convinced that the old u. S. A.
is the only place to live in.
This is the first communica
tion received from him since the
government notice several weeks
ago that he had been wounded.
