never in doubt, attained the worlds
premier fistic honors by defeating

Dempsey knocked him down or threw
him helpless against the ropes seven

brought back to the ring. Willard,
who lowered above his antagonist like
q lighthouse over tug, acted like q

two countries will show<a substantial
trade resumption In practically all
commercial commodities except cham
icals and .dyestuffs, which are barred
from trade for the present :,
The plan adopted by the State De-

escape the interdiction against trad
ing with an enemy country. So long
as there Is no formal declaration OF
peace between the two nations, the
President is barred from appointing
consuls or consular agents to any
place in Germany.
1t has been arranged. however. TO
