ID OSTON BIDS fair to become the D boxing center of the East now that the Armory A. A. of that city have secured a lease on Mechan nics' Hall. the largest auditorium in New England. The building. which Is To- cated in the heart of the Back Bay section of Boston, on Huntington ave- nue. can comfortably accommodate in the nciEhborhood of 10000 fans.
 The Armory X. A. is a. strong atiI- lotfc organization with plenty of cap ital and has been regularly staging first class bouts in Boston for the past seven years. Its first match maker. under it's reorganization plan. was good old Johnny McGann. Then Joe Mccarthy took charge. Big Joe was succeeded by Ivy Lewis who is still matchmaker. working in conjunc- ton with Miah Murray Under the management of Murray and Lewis the club has been prosperous. Until last winter the shows were held in the Arena on St. BothoIph street. but fire one cold night burned the struc- ture down to it's foundation. From there the club moved its headquarters to the old Grand Opera House in the North End section. But this house wa sinadequate and for the first time in the history of boxing a profession al show was conducted in Mechanics Hall last night.
 With this great auditorium at their demand the matchrnakers. we are re- liably informed. are now negotiating for two championship bouts. One would bring together Johnny Kil- bane of Cleveland, the featherweight champion, and Benny NalEer of New York. The other would bring together Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul and Joe EaEan of South Boston. II Is almost certain that If Kilbane and Valger ever come together the bout will be staged fin Boston under the auspices of the Boston club.

The Rochester promoter had a world of praise for the French box CTS He declares that they fight often and much of their success is due to the fact that they are always in con- dlt1on. In the ring they move about rapidly and can hit hard.

THE VETS ARE CONFIDENT
Liquor interests Appear Satisfied that
Prohibition Act Will Not Go Into
Effect July 1.

Washington, May -SaIoonkeep-
ers. wholesale liquor dealers, cabaret
proprietOrs and hotel owners all over
the country, it was learned here today,
have within the last few days become
so satisfied that the War Time Prohi-
bition Act will not go into effect July
1, that they have dismissed the subject
from their minds
Members of Congress returning from
their homes brought so many stories of
confidence expressed by men who deal
in liquors that war time prohibition
need not trouble them further, that
they sought to discover the source of
their confidence, but without avail
Rumors were current throughout the
East that President Wilson would rec
ommend repeal of the act but they
could not be verified in Washington
One member of Congress who sought
to find out where the confidence of
liquor dealers was coming from said
that a Philadelphia dealer told him
several days ago:
I'VE have just been told by a promi-
nent official in Washington not to
worry any more about the War Time
Prohibition Act. He told US it was not
going into effect"

sible that Count Won Brockdorff-Rant-

return to conduct further negotiations

ceived here today from Spa.
The views of the chef of the German

differed so strongly as to the further
conduct of the negotiations, according
to these reports, that Count Won Brock

With the crew safe the matter of

HIGH RECORD FOR EXPORTS
Merchandise Valued at us Million
Dollars Was Sent Abroad by
America in April.

Washington, May 22-America's
foreign trade goes on growing at a
remarkable rate. Exports last month
were valued at us million dollars,
exceeding by 90 million the previous
high record for one month, made last
January, and 215 million more than
in April, 1918.
Imports last month were 273 million
dollars, an amount that has been ex-
ceeded only twice.
Excess of exports over imports was
422 million dollars, exceeding and pre-
vious monthly, trade balance. This
great balance was settled chiefly by
400 million dollars of credits extended
by the United States government to
the Allies in April.

CONGRESS HEARS
WILSON'S MESSAGE
Presidents Recommendations
for Legislation Read Sepa-
rately in Each Branch.
IS RECEIVED WITH ATTENTION
Suffrage for Women to be First Meas
ure of Consequence to Come Up
for Consideration.

Washington, May 21.-President
Wilson's cabled message outlining
legislation for the extra session of the
new congress was read separately in
the senate and house today by clerks
and arrangements were made by con-
gressional leaders for immediate con-
sideration of the vast legislative pro-
gram with the equal suffrage resoIu-
ton to come up tomorrow in the house.
In the senate the clerk, Henry NJ.
Rose, began the reading promptly at
noon, but there was a delay of half
an hour in the house while members
discussed priority of some of the hun
dreds of bills which were dropped into
the hopper yesterday.
This was the first time since Presi-
dent Wilson was inaugurated that he
had not appeared in person to deliver
his message. Copies of the text cabled
from Paris were distributed among the
senators and representatives as they
took their seats and some of them
scanned the printed pages without lis
tening to the reading.
Generally, however, members of both
houses and the crowds in the galleries
gave close attention. There was no
demonstration in the senate, but mem
bers on both sides smiled at the presi-
dents mention of the return of the
telegraph and telephone properties to
private control. The reading was COM
pleted in thirty-five minutes and the
senate Immediately took up routine
business.
When Clerk South Trimble COM
pleted the reading in the house there
was applause from the Democratic
side. This was the only demonstra-
ton except scattering applause from
the Republicans which greeted the
Presidents declaration that he hoped
soon to be back in Washington.
After the reading of the message the
house adjourned until tomorrow out of
respect of the late Representative Carl
c. Van Dyke of Minnesota. The SEN
ate adjourned at 1:15 o'clock until
Friday after the usual flood of bills
and resolutions had been introduced.

MAY MEDIATE FIUME QUESTION
America May Be Asked to Settle Con-
troVersy Between italy and Juae-
SIaVia on Adriatic.

Paris, May 17.-Negotiations pend
ing for the adjustment of the Adriatic
controversy contemplate a direct set
tlement between Italy and Jugo-Slavia,
through American mediation. By this
plan the Austrian treaty would not
specify the disposition to be made Of
Dalmatia, Istria or Fiume, beyond de-
taching them from Austria.
The German peace treaty, it devel-
oped today, contains a clause which
has not yet been made public provid-
ing that ratification by Germany and
three of the principal associated pow
ers will bring the treaty into force be-
tween the ratifying parties, enabling
the immediate resumption of trade.
AS the result of conferences among
the representatives of the powers,
which were being continued today, the
text of the German treaty probably
will be made public by installments.
1t was pointed out today in connec-
ton with the stipulation as to the rat
ification Of the German treaty that any
nation which withheld ratification after
three of the principal powers had rati-
fled would be at a disadvantage in a
commercial way. This would follow
from the fact that the ratifying pow
ers would be able to resume trade re-
lations with Germany at once while
the states that delayed would have no
such privilege.
The council of foreign ministers con-
tinued the work today on subsidiary de-
tails of the Austrian treaty having to
do with the new Austria frontiers
It is considered as unlikely that the
treaty will be ready for presentation
to the Austrian plenipotentiaries before
Wednesday of next week, and probably
not until later.
It is quite probable that the Turk
ish and Bulgarian peace treaties will
be negotiated and signed in CONSTANT
nOple, Saloniki or some other conVen-
lent city in the Near East, according
to Reuters Paris office.

Washington, May 2O.-Prices may
not be expected to drop much in the
near future, according to indications
of reports reaching the Federal Re-

the thought it may await profitably
a further considerable reduction in
prices and is now contenting itself
with the development of trade along
lines dependent upon at least the tenn
porary maintenance of existing

Though prices of a few basic COM
modities have fallen slightly, thesr
declines have not yet been effected
in retail prices, says the Beview.
