Paris, March l0.-(By Radio via
London. 1.-The special committee
on fixing the responsibility for the
war and providing for punishment
of the culprits is growing more and
more perplexed as the question is
studied. The Investigators must dis
tinguish between the former kaiser
and the German government if an
indictment is to be drawn up against
him. They find this a difficult task.
Furthermore the committee can
not see how the powers can get hold
of the ex-kaiser without violating
treaties with Holland. The fear per-
sists that unless the former emper-
or is kept under the control of the
allies he may return to Germany
when conditions there are settled
and may return to rule. This must be
prevented-but how? No definite
answer has been found to this ques-
ton.
One suggestion is that Holland
be asked to give up Count Hohen.

guarantees that she (Holland) will
be responsible to the allies for keep.

LOST $500 ON
 LYNCH-HERMAN
 BOUT LABOR DAY

Boxing Promoter George Munigan of Waterbury announced yesterday that in spite Of the hugh crowd which attended the boxing carnival held at the driving park Labor Day, the af- fair was a financial failure resulting in a loss of about $500. The promoter attributes the short returns to the large purses offered in the main bout.
 Pete Herman drew the lions share, coming out with $4,SS4S4 while Joe Lynch received 3,425 for his end; making a total of over sS,0OO paid to tho pair for their 10 round bout. Other
 participants were well paid, added to which was the cost of erecting the arena at S2,75O. When all of these and other expenses had been paid Multi gan says he found himself $500 in the hole.
 MuTigan says he is through with Joe Mulvihill, the Danibury fight pro moter who assisted in staging the car nival. MulvihiIl was sent to New York to sign up Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee for the main attrac- ton but he failed to do so, securing Lynch and Herman instead. MulIi-
 gan says he intended to have the lightweight champ appear in Water bury on Labor Day and it was Mulvi- hills fault that the card was not pre- scented as planned.
 Mulvihin is now announcing that he is to match Leonard and Tender for a match in this state and is giving out the impression that the go will be staged here. It may be said that Mul- vihin has no hand in that match so far as New Haven is concerned. Cap tain Doherty has first call on Leonard.

POOR LOT OF OPPONENTS FOR
 JACK DEMPSEY
By c. O. q.

According to the reports that Jack Kearns, the hustIing manager of Jack Dempsey, has issued a statement that the heavyweight champion Is tired of the footnght stuff and wants to get back in the squared arena defending his title against any one in the world, he will find all the opposition pretty easy picking.
 The leading sporting writers of the country about four months ago were busy picking logical contenders for the Salt Lake City boys crown, many of them declaring that the heavy weight field has never before shown such a wealth of material in prom ising aspirants for the crown and when the champion was ready to fight he would find plenty of tough opposition.
 But after the showing of some of the looming champions in bouts during the last two months they have turned out to be more Of a noise than anything else. Bob Martin, the A. F. r. heavyweight champion who was considered the best of the chaIlengers, fought two ten round draws with Jack Burke, another army star, who was knocked out in the fourth round of a fight with Danny Morgan's lead ing big man, Bill Brennan, at New Orelans a few weeks ago.
 Wee Willie Meehan, the Pacific coast star, has a decision over Demp- sey, and was thought by most writers l that he would be the first to meet the | present champion, was pounded all over the ring by Babe Larue, a new | conner from Southern California a | short time ago, in turn was knocked !

 BILLY KELLY AT

Havre De Grace, Md, Sept. A. Aided by light irnpost and favored by the racing luck, Samuel Ross row Brae Handicap, which was the feature on the card, and in doing so defeated Commander J. K. L. Ross Ereat sprinter, Billy Kelly, and Tip pity WitChet Crank won with only a length tO spare, while Billy Kelly was six lengths in front of Tippity Witchet at tho conclusion of the six furl0ug dash.
 Heavy rain had turned the track Into a sloppy condition, and under this kind of going Billy Kelly was made a strong favorite despite the fact that he had been asked to con Gede much weight to his rivals. Crank carried only los pounds, while Billy Kelly had 13O up. Tippity Witchet had an impost of no pounds
 It was not altogether the weight which defeated the racer from the stable of J. K. L. Rose. Billy Kelly seemed to carry his impost without much trouble, as he has many times been asked to take up as much over the same distance and against as good horses. But Musgrave on Crank took advantage of the fact that the others went wide at the last turn, and went into the rail, saving so much ground that he was able to get his mount to the wire despite the ina rush of Billy Kelly.
