GEORGES CARPENTER is goin

GEORGES CARPENTER is going
~ to come back. This is according to
Georges himself. We have been in re-
ceipt of a number of clippings from
newspapers printed in London and
Paris since the European heavyweight
champions return to France, and in
each the foreign titleholder is quoted
as saying that he absolutely would pay
another visit to the United States
also that he WOULD box Jack Demp-
sey for the worlds diadem.
One of Carpenters interviews, that
with Is. Bennison. of the London Tele-
graph, which took place at Georges's
home in Paris, was received today.
Carpenter is quoted as saying that he
expected to return to the United states
next fall for his scheduled bout with
Battling Levinsky, and that he planned
to box Dempsey later, probably In
July. 1921, Just outside of New York,
in the open"

visions of any such treaty which restrict

import duties and tonnage duties on for
eign vessels will be terminated.
The time for giving such notices ex-
pired September 4 and though the state
department was prepared to forward the
necessary communications to the 20 or
more countries affected the president is
understood to have halted the action.
Reconsideration of section "a by con
gress is awaited by the president, Off
