RICHARD PLAYS SWEET
Promoter Believes Killing Of Boxing Law in New York Was Direct Slap at WilIard-Dcmpscy Bout.

New York, April 22.-Judging from Tex Richards remarks yesterday, the promoter looks sourly upon the at titude of Mir. Sweet, speaker of the assembly.
 T have read MT. Sweets admission that he has changed his opinion re- garding the desira bility of boxing, and his suggestion that devotees of the sport should make another at tempt on January 1 to obtain favor able Legislation If the people of New York are entitled to a. boxing law next January, they are entitled to it this instant. What conditions can arise in the next nine months that would make a boxing law more desirable that at this time? I have a rather strong belief that Mir. Sweet who seems to have been responsible for the death of the boxing bills, was actuated by a determination to pre- vent the staging of the Willard -Demp- sey contest in New York State. It by no means followed that I would have put the bout on here, even had the Walker bill been passed.
 'If T am right in the belief that the killing of the bills was a blow the heavyweight championship match. I regret the loss to the boxing en- thusiasts of the state. But I insist it was a narrow view to take of the mat ter, for if a law goes into effect next year there will be other champion ship matches.'

SUNDAY BASEBALL I MAY RE DELAYED
New York Socialists Have It in
 Power to Halt Ordinance

New York, April 22.-Seven little
 socialists sitting in a line in the board
 of aldermen may, by obstructionist . tactics, delay the playing of Sunday Sbasebau games in this vicinity, as pro- s4vided for by a law recently passed by the legislature and signed by Govern
 or Smith.
 The law in order to become effec- htve in a community must be ratified sSby an ordinanc of the board of alder Hnnen or other governing body. I'm S3nediately following the passage of the skbiIi by the legislature President Moran Fand Alderman O'Rnurke announced ktheir intention of drawing up ordi- sa2ances to perfect the legislation N It was the understanding that the sordh1ance would be introduced yester- .aday and the plan was to pass it at
 nucs in. order to permit the playing of .garnes next Sunday. It was at this
 point that the socialists declared that esasy would object to the baseball or hEfinanee being passed on the same day it was introduced, as this procedure ASvas contrary to the rules of the board hof aldermen.
 'pTherefore," said the seven little kgocfalists, i've. shall object, which will lput over for a. week 8 vote on the gprppositfpn.
 @ When this phase of the subject was kbrnught to the attention of Alderman kCharies Haul bert of the Fifty-seventh 9Aldernaanic district, Brooklyn, he said g 'n objection is made the ordinance gsVaTI go over for 9 week. Tt seems in credible that our socialist brethren, who take so deep an interest in the .,affa3rs of the dear workingmen, could
 have the heart to obstruct or delay 8 sIneaErre, the passage of which would permit the working classes to see baseball on Sunday, the only chance they have for recreation.
 ytsr1tF may be the socialists have some
 ulbeT9or motives, but it can be accept sed as g fact that if they balk Sunday
 baseball art1inance they will have to answer to their frate- constituents

INTERNATIONAL ARMY SOUGHT,
NOT FOR PURPOSES OF WAR
BUT TO PRESERVE PEACE.
TAKES WORD FOR NOTHING
Lust for Power and Dominion Will
Return to Huns as Soon as Strength
Has Been Recovered.

Paris-"There has never been any
disagreement on the fundamental prin.
ciples of league of nations between
the French delegates or other pow
ers," sadi Professor Ferdinand Lar
nadue, dean of the Paris law faculty
and one of the French delegates on
the league of nations commission.
1--WE do not seek an international
army for the purpose, of making war,
but for the purpose of preventing it.
Further disturbances IF the
worlds peace will come from Ger
many alone. Germans unsatisf1ed
greedy appetite, her lust for power
and domination, will return as soon
as she feels strong enough to renew
her aggressions. Inasmuch as Ger
many ONE day will be admitted to
the league of nations, what Mr..
Bourgeois and myself objected to was
the necessity of being placed in the
position Of taking Germanys' word
for anything. The. German people
have not progressed along the lines
of sincerity"

INTER-AELIED FINANCIAL
ALLIANCE is ADVOCATED

Paris.~An inter-al1ied fine ncial al
lance is strongly advocated by Ed
Mund Therry. the French economist,
in The Figaro. 1t should take the
form of a special organization, he
says, to receive for joint account all
sums paid by Germany, Austria-Hun-
gary, Bulgaria and Turkey, which it
would transform into liquidation
bonds Ito be distributed among the
allies
Mr.. Therry points out that after the
signing of peace the richest entente
nations will seek to improve their
monetary situation and consolidate
their financial situation as rapidly as
possible on a gold basis. Such con-
solidation would augment the diff
culties of the less favored allies in
converting to gold, sterling dollars Or
francs, the claims they recover from
the enemy, on which they count to
pay the debts they have contracted,
either with the Weather allies or with
neutrals.

Baron Nobuah Maxine, head OF the
Japanese delegation at the peace con-

close all the unpublished treaties BE-
tween China and Japan.
The Chinese delegation to the peace
conference has been advised that there
have been many interpretations in the
Chinese parliament from members rep
resenting both the northern and south
ern provinces, demanding fuller infor-
nation concerning Japanese and Chi
nese relations, as laid before the con-
ference.
The Chinese delegates say they are
ready to submit all secret agreements
with Japan to the council Of the five
great powers.
The agreement by the commission
on international labor legislation OF
the peace conference to accept Arti-
Gle w of the British draft Of the
measures to settle the, future status
of international labor, marks the pass
ing over safely of an obstacle which
the labor leaders expected would pro-
woke bitter contest. This article pro-
vides that at the proposed internatiOn-
al labor conference the representa-
tives of the government, the employ
ers and working people shall be enti-
tied to speak and vote independently.

to the book, was not what has been
generally accepted. The meeting took
place. Emperor William and the Ger

Germany then definitely decided for
war.
