The Facts Converted Mr.. Wick
erSham.

George W. Wickersham, a Re-
publican and former United
States Attorney General, went
to Europe in December, an op-
Donent, and returned to this
country, two months later, an
advocate, of a league of nations.
What reversed his judgment is
related by Mr.. Wickersham in
an interview with the New York
World" The whole story of
this change Of mind is summar-
lied by Mr., Wickersham in his
statement that 1T wasn't argu-
ment which convinced me. 1t
was a clearer understanding Of
the facts"
These eloquent and compelling
facts are that Americas part in
preserving and perpetuating
peace is a corollary of her enter
ing Europe to stop the recent
war; that the people every
where are yearning for some
guarantee against a REPETITION Of
the horrors which they have
faced for four years that the
defeat of their hopes in this re
spect is a provocative of anarchy
and bolshevism, and, finally, that
the only possible insurance a.
gainst international conflict and
internal chaos is a coalition of
all Notwithstanding our own
to restore and maintain con-
cord throughout the world.
Before going to Europe, Mr..
Wickersham says, he looked up
on "the idea Of a league of ma
tons with skepticism." Two
months sojourn in England and
France wrought a change of o.
piniOn, he says. 81 feel sure that
none of the leading opponents of
the league of nations in America
today could go through the
same experience without under
going a like conversion"
International order and the re-
cognition of international law
are steps toward peace, but they
require sanction and enforce
ment such as can be given, Mr..
Wickersham believes, only by
alliance of all the nations shar-
ing a common ideal, animated
with a common purpose, who can
trust each other"
People everywhere are look
ing to America to give them
that guarantee" Mr.. Wicker
sham says.-Bulletin.

CHAMPION SANTEL
Huge Asiatic Champ to Tangle
With Clever Adolph in Finish
Match at Pinney Theater
Evening of April 8 or 4.

At last nifty Nick" has secured a
Grappler to lock horns with the re-
doubtable Adolph Santel, he of the

crown-Robert, the son of Sheik Man
agoff, alleged champion of Asia, the
SAHARA desert and other parts adjacent
thereto, having signified his intention
of wrestling our Addie at the Pinney

Managoff is considered the boss
matster in his part of the country. His
best act in rasslin' was to stage &
stiff three-round draw with "Strang
Ter" Ed Lewis, recently defeated by
Zbyszko in New York for the world $
championship, and he also acquired

he climbs into the ring with Adolph.
AS for our Adolpt. he will at once
begin a course Of training that will put
him in khe pink of condition, and ex-
poets to lock- arms with the Asiatic
master Weighing about 1877 pounds. He
will work out daily with Babe" Brown,
Chef Camp and other shining lights In
the Boise wrestling world, and will
give the huge wearer of kimonas and
pajamas a hard tussle for the kale
when the referee bids them tear each
other apart the evening Of the fray.
This should be the boss match Of the
season IL Managoff lives up to his
press understanding very rare
with wrestlers--and the bugs should
have much occasion to rise up in JOY
and chortle their pleasure at the work
of both men. While it was thought
that De Court was the logical man to
put i'll the ring with Managoff. the
clever Los Angeles flash has not en-
tirely recovered from the wrenched
vertebrate he received in his match
with Santel, and Adolph got the plum.
Both wrestlers will work out at the
gym of nifty Nick" daily, and the
crowd is invited to come down and get
an eyefull of the doings absolutely free
of charge. Some of those who attend
regularly at the free matinees given by
