(DICEVA RASTIGNAC)

A cable from Paris says that the
Havas agency has received word
from Rome that the newspaper LIE
poca" publishes an article signed by
Geo. Heron, described as the friend
OF President Wilson and considered
in America and Europe as being the
most faithful interpreter of Wilson's
thoughts.
The Hayas agency continues by
saing that Heron, in sending his
letter from Switzerland to 'L'Epoca"
states that because he fully un-
dorStands the Italo- Tugo- -Slav con-
fict, and because he has many times
had the opportunity of exercising
his office as mediator between the
two parties, he wishes to express his
CONJUNCTION that "a great injustice is
to be made to Italy, and that the
peoples of various countries are
ignoring what is going on behind the
scenes in the present crisis.
Heron says he can affirm with
absolute certainty that on two oc-
casions he had the opportunity to
bring about friendly agreement,
but failed because Of the intrigues
of a few international financiers
automatically privileged, who are
the real cause of the present troubles
and of all the political and moral
failures at the Peace Conference, and
that they must bear responsibility for
the ruin which menaces the world.
This financial group e. according
to Heron -" is striving to obtain
concessions for developing Fiume
and certain Dalmatian ports, and to
purchase the steamship lines on the
Adriatic.
These plans of exploitation by the
international group Of financiers
would impoverish the Serbians, and
complete the commercial rule of Ita-
ly by compelling her mercantile flag
to disappear from the Adriatic.
Moreover, the Italian political-com-
mercial relations with Rouugania and
the Balkans, would be completely
suppressed. By refusing to give up
her Adriatic coasts Italy is fighting
for her existence against these in
ternational financiers, while the south
Oriental Europe (referring to the
Balkans) is ripe for profiteering. Ac-
cording to the Treaty Of London only
a small part Of Dalmatia would be-
long to Italy, since nine ports OF me
dium importance would be left to
Jugo-Slavia; furthermore Italy wo-
uld not have insisted on the Treaty
of London agreements if the sinister
influence backing up the Jugo-Slav
Delegation at Paris had not compel
led her to stand immovable on her
Treaty rights. The principle of self
determination when invoked against
the Italian population becomes an
evident hypocrisy, if we consider the
ACl ltpl ldl BdluS VI OlllGl udllOHS
represented at the Peace Conference.
England will have under her domain
vast empire that stretches from
India to Egypt. France will realize
nearly all her aspirations regarding
the left bank of the Rhine, and also
will have Syria and new colonies in
Africa. Nobody feels that France is
receiving too much. The Saare Val
ley, according to many, should be
ceded to France; the Franco-Belgian
power should have been extended to
the Rhine without impractical COM
promises.
Poland will have a population OF
which only one half is Polish. Czecho
Slovakia will include, and justly, a
German population Of three million.

Barring accidents all fighters
booked for the Olympia A. c. show
at Steelton Monday night will be
here before noon Monday. The
Quaker City contingent. including
Cyclone Scott, may reach here to-
morrow night.
While great interest is manifested
in the Gill-Scott fight, the outcome
of the Carson and Sylvester special
bout will bear watching, as these
bouts are rapid-fre battles. Both
Carson and Sylvester have tried to
get a fight with Billy Angelo, the
tough Greek lightweight. They
must show the goods before Barrett
will consider matching either one
with Angelo. The winner Monday
night will get the chance to meet
the Greek at future show.
Every battle on the card will come
off as scheduled. with the exception
of AL Mason, OF Lancaster, not be-
ing able to meet Willie Langford.
Masons mother is at the point of
death in Virginia, where Mason has
gone.
1t is probable that Gunboat Smith,
of this city. will meet Langford.
Manager Barrett Is trying to land
Dixie Kid, of Baltimore.
The three siX-round preliminaries
on the card will go as scheduled.
Young Lehmer, of this city, will
meet Eddie Billman, of Lancaster:
Girls Hildebrandt, of Steelton. will
meet Billy Zimmerman, of Hershey,
while Harry Hildebrandt. of Steel
ton, will open the show with Joe
Strosser. of Lancaster.
Must Be Neutral Referee
So anxious Is Scott's manager TO
have his man beat Gill that Conroy
has told Barrett he will positively
not stand for n referee either from
York, Harrisburg or Steelton. Lines
are out for either Charlie Kicker, the
famous Lancaster sporting man; Tim
Droney, the well-known lightweight,
or Leo Houck 10 referee. If this is
not satisfactory Baltimore referee
will be selected.
Indications point TO a packed
house. Several sporting men from
Williamsport, headed by Joe Mertz,
the promoter, will be ut the ring
side. If there is any hitch in the
referee, Mertz will be the third man
in the ring.

was proved this week when q rep

on c. Howard Lloyd, the architect of

The representative had been in

buildings all over the United States.
and Harrisburg was chosen as the
model In Junior High schools. Mr..
Lloyd has been requested to submit
drawings of the Ediecn building. and
in all probability will be asked to
design somewhat similar building
for the Manila school system.

YOUNG SAYLOR
QUITS RING GAME
Believes He Is Ready to Take
1t Easy; Pace Too
Swift

New York, Dec. 20.-Milburn Say
lor, for years n contender for the light
weight championship of the world. has
hung up his gloves for all time. He
was knocked out in a couple of rounds
by Jack Perry last week and decided
that 1t was time to cease his serious ef-
forts in the roped arena. He never
was in the fight and was floored seven
times before his seconds tossed in the
towel.
After the bout Saylor admitted his
inability to do what countless hundreds
of other fighters have unsuccessfully
attempted to do. defy Father Time. He
announced he was through and would
return to Indianapolis to devote him
self entirely to the railroad business,
which line he adopted several years
ago.
Youth is the thing in the mitt
sport" sighed Saylor, land there is no
use to deny 1t. 1 felt good, trained we'll
and thought l was n good as ever, but
the old staying qualities are not there,
The slightest rap on the jaw sets my
brain to buzzing now. when / used to
be able to shake off hefty kayo punches
I'm through"
Had Great Career
Few lightweights in the history of
IlStlaHa nave ndu more acllNe OF Drll-
liant careers than Milburn Saylor.
Never champion. but always willing
worker, the Hoosier lad has fought in
nearly every city in this country as well
as Australia, and when in his prime al
ways gave n good account of himself
no matter whether victory or defeat
rested on his banner.
For nearly fifteen years he has been
before fistlc fans, and for more than
half of that time he has been recognized
as a topnotcher. He has defied Father
Time for the last five years. but his
showing against the young Pittsburgh
scrapper shows conclusively he is
through and continuance in the mitt
sport is but counting probable disaster
The courage is there, but his muscles
will no longer do the bidding of a brain
made active through years of expert
ence.
