minding many of Johnny Kilbane be-
cause of his boxing on his toes almost
continually, Carpenter showed in the
second round that he was just as crafty
on the defense. He ducked, side
stepped, shifted his head from side TO
side, making no effort to strike back,
while Biddle tried in vain to land with

u S. Reaches Limit
Of Concessions on
Former German Gables

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The
American government has about
reached the limit Of the concessions
It Is willing to make to the allied
and associated powers with regard
to disposition Of the former German
cables. It was made known today by
one of the American commissioners
to the international communications
conference now in session here.
Officials would not attempt to indi-
cate what would follow the breaking
up OF the conference which has ap-
peared imminent as a result of the
unwillingness OF some Of the powers
represented to reach what the Amer
lean representatives consider an
equitable distribution of the former
German cables.
The United States has insisted that
the cable communications between
the United states and Germany which
was interrupted as result Of the di-
version OF The German cables by the
allies should be restored.
Great Britain il understood Ia
have expressed Willingness TO re.
store the cable which formerly ran
from Emden TO New York, but which
since has been diverted to connect
Penzance with Halifax, only on con-
diuon that II remain In British hands
Officials would not state today
whether the views OF the United
States with respect TO the recognition
by the powers OF equal landing right,
for cables had met with the anticipat.

| that the subject had not been settled
It Is desired to prevent any dts
