Reply, Said to Be Argmen-

WILSON WILL PERSIST
Intends to Press Opposition
To Action That Might

WILSON WILL PERSIST
By ROBERT T. BARRY.

Copyright 1870, b. Public Ledger Col
The Japanese government stands
pat on its determination TO retain
military possession OF the northern
half of Saghalen Island and is no
less insistent upon the propriety of
its defensive" policy in Siberia and
Manchuria.
A lengthy diplomatic note sent to
President Wilson in reply to his
protest against the occupation OF
Saghalen was thus summarized
yesterday. following its receipt by
the Department of State. The mes
sage was sent to the White House
for the personal consideration of
Mr.. Wilson. State Department Of
. hcials declined to discuss the con-
tentIons advanced by the Japanese
foreign Office. They would not in
dicate whether unofficial summaries
- Of it made public in Tokyo were ac-
curate. The japanese position was
revealed in other competent quar-
ters
The japanese note was described
as Of such a nature as to require a
reply from the American govern
ment- Coupled with that assurance
was no less positive statement
that Wilson will not recede from his
original position of irreconcilable
opposition to any move that might
contemplate the dismemberment Of
Russia through agreements between
the Japanese and the Bolsheviki.
Nor will this government, it was
stated, countenance any infraction
of the open door policy in the Far
East.
Holds to Risht Defense.
3 Such specific Information as could
be obtained relative to the contents
Of the japanese note described RI as
argumentativs in tone, the Tokyo
foreign once reciting the reasons
for the extension Of Japanese oc-
cuDatiOn in Siberia and Manchuria
beyond the time set in the dipIo-
matte exchanges conducted by Rob-
ert Lansing during his administra-
tlon Of the Department of State.
The Japanese government holds
to its position of inalienabIe right
Of defending it's nationals from at
tack and to take such precautionary
steps as it may consider necessary
to prevent further destruction of
japanese life and property until
such time as a constitutional ma
jOrity Of the Russian people estab-
lish a government capable of giving
dependable guarantees.
Fear Russian Conquest.
Without saying it in so many
words, the Japanese position in the
Siberian question is that the Mus
Covite dream Of conquest in South
ern Asia is no less active under
Bolshevik rule than under the Gar.
and that Japan must act now to
protect her own interests to avoid
a repetition Of the conflict Of 1904
centerinE around control of Korea
and Port Arthur.
Running through comment heard
in responsible quarters in Washing
ton are suggestions Of vast COM
nerCial considerations in Siberia
outweighinS by far all of the
academic debates over japanese
occupation OF the northern half of
Saghalen- Although no references
are made to such matters in the
diplomatic exchanges to which the
public has access. those questions
are held to be the determining fac
tors when policies are being dis
cussed in the Chancelieries Of the
world

Dundee Confident.

Though greatly disappointed at his
failure to get Leonard in a 20-round
bout, because he believes he could de-
feat the champion over the lower route,
Dundee will be just as determined as
Leonard when the bell calls him to
action tonight.
II don't see where some of the eX-
perts get the idea that Leonard has me
so badly outclassed," said Dundee re-
Gently. "Out of the seven times we've
met l have received a decision in a
majority of the newspapers three times,
and twice | was given a draw, while
Leonard was awarded the popular de-
cison in our other two bouts. | hon
estly think | could beat Leonard de-
cisively over the long distance, for l
don't believe he likes the grind and he
has never fought 20 rounds, while I
have gone that distance a good many
times, But when l meet Benny In Jer
sey City I'm going to set a fast pace"
Because New Jersey laws do not per-
NIT a referees decision Dundees
chances of defeating Leonard are not
very promising. Leonard is a better
boxer than the Italian and has demon
strated that he carries a knockout
punch. The only way in which Dundee
can uncrown Benny is to knock him
out, and there Is a mint of money in
this section that says he will never
do that Yet, If there is a SUNRISE
in store for the boxing fans tonight,
Dundee may be the central figure in it,
for, as the old saying goes, its always
the unexpected that happens"

TO SIGN UMPIRES.

During the big baseball powwows in
Chicago this week which will be at
tended by baseballers from all sections
of the country, President John y, Mar
tin, of the Southern league, expects to
sign some OF his umpires for 1920.
There are three or four at present out
of the fold who will be given a heart
to-heart talk by the league head.
Among these is William Brennan, the
Goliath of the Dixie majors staff OF
indicator handlers. Bill was offered a
flattering contract by the league presi-
dent, but he has yet to return the
signed paper to league headquarters.
Brennan is one of the most popular
umpires in the Southern league, being
held in high regard by fans in every
city in the association. He is not so
popular with the ball players, however,
because he will tolerate no foolishness
and keeps things hustling throughout
every game in which he offiCiates.
While in Chicago President Martin is
going to talk shop with Billy Carpen-
ter, who was an umpire in this league
many seasons ago, The league presi-
dent desires very much to see Billy
again back Of the plate, and Is pre-
pared to make him a good offer to
return to the Southern. He is a very
capable arbter and If he can be signed

premier minor league arbiters in base

DEMPsEY'S PICTURES.

Jack Dempsey should very highly
prize the pictufes that are now being
printed by the Chicago Tribune. They
deal with his shipyards activities dur
ing the late war.

Dempsey was photographed in several
different positions one day.
In one set he is shown stripped
to the waist and wearing patent
leather shoes as a blacksmith in
the Sun Shipbuilding company plant
at Chester, Pa.
In another he is depicted in the
act of signing for the position of
labor scout The calendar on the
wall shows Aug. rs, 191S--at which
time the war was at its height.
He is holding riveting machine
in another plate but his overalls are
spotlesly clean and he has again
neglected to remove his shining
shoes.
