Strengthens Her Position

Now, in the course of these three

Each week has brought a new &C

n.b temporary misunderstanding and

Tho essential vice of the situation

Alliance With United States
Great Aim Of England

In this situation English policy pur-
sued an individuaistic course. British
statesmen perceived clearly the great
value. the unmis stakable necessity. Of
achieving a substantial and enduring
alliance between America and Great
Britain.
We have had, therefore, a very clear
and definite division Of feeling and Of
interest in Paris, particularly during
the last fortnight growing out of
French national, if exaggerated, appre-
hension lest Germany be permitted to
reorganlze for a now attack. the first
phase Of which would inevitably fall
upon France, growing out o. the ap-
parent American blindness.
1t would be mistake to exageerate
the Importance of the crisis. 1t would
be mistake to hold any one of the
three great powers or their representa-
tlves chiefly responsible. The fact
seems to be that the Americans too
little appreciated French interests, the
French too little understood the need
Of making their interests clear to
America, and the English we're too
eager to take advantage of present
opportunities for cementing American
friendship to perceive Immediately the
common peril and Overwhelming neces-
sity of acting as a unit in the presence

Germany at Last to
Have Wings Clipped

Out of this confusion, which was
marked by a grave warning uttered
by Marshal Foch on the military side
and by a moving appeal by Prime
Minister Clemenceau alike on the ma
terial and on the moral side, there
has emerged something which promises
to be the solution and cure. President
Wilson, clearly confronted with the
French appeal, with the facts on which
the French apprehension is based, has
joined with his Allies in adopting
programme by which Germany is now
to be disarmed, the German invasion
Of Poland is 70 be made impossible,
German compliance with the old terms

where she can no longer resist, and
must comply, and more than this, she
can no longer feel, as she has felt in
recent weeks, that she can exploit the
difficulties between her allies, based on
principles, for her own selfish and ma
terial ends.

coined by the French people as an
evanGel of new gospcl, but in every
French mind there was clear pcrccp-

France against Germany, which had
four times invaded her in tho last CEN

strength to repeat her earlier adven-

Therefore it was natural and it was
inevitable that there should be a very
real and very deep sense of disappoint-

Wilson, coming to Paris, fixed all his

problems necessarily bulking so great

A sensible movement in the ring

classes in boxing. 1t is expected that
before long there will be uniform

Weights vary widely in number OF
the recognized divisions in the United
states, England and Australia, the
three leading countries in the boxing
game.
One proposition that looks especially
good IL the one to place the lightweight
limit definitely at 1876 pounds. Formerly

sion. at least for number OF years.
was tentatively placed at 1873 pounds
The English weight was 1875 pounds
and in Australia a lightweight was
permitted to mark up as much as 14O
pounds.
Four years ago the American Box
ing association at Cleveland recon-
mended that the American limit be
placed ct 1S5 pounds. boxers to scale
Mt six hours before the fight. Under
the proposed new rules the weight will
be 135 pounds eight hours before ring
time, which means they would meet
several pounds over that figure.
The lightweight division always has
presented troublesome poundage
problem. One hundred and thirty three
. pounds seems to be an off weight.
Nearly every man winning the title at
that figure had trouble keeping him
self down to it. There have been but
few legitimate 133- FOUNDERS. Frank
Erne weighed 1856 pounds when he beat
Kid Lavigne, and yet was hailed as
the lightweight champion, and Packy
Mcfarland who, during most of his
career, posed as lightweight. was
much nearer welter. Usually the
champions in the various classes have
1uggled the weight limits to suit their
own convenience.
A uniform. international scale Is in
deed desirable and will result in the
avoidance of much needless confusion.
