had expressed the opinion in an inter.

difference in view in nowise VIII be
permitted to embarrass the CONFER
cree or the ratification of the agree
ment."
The Presidents statement issued
after two-hour conference with Sen
ators Lodge and Underwood of the
American delegation, was the first Of
fetal confirmation that an understand
ing existed among the delegations as
to the application Of the treaty.
The Presidents expression Of opin
ion on the matter. although said by
officials close to him to have been
made without consultation with his
state department advisers and with.
out any intention Of announcing the
administration attitude, created at
once an evident desire among the
Americans, British, Japanese and
French alike that the attitude of the
American government be clarified.
Baron Kato, head OF the Japanese del
egation and one OF those who showed
greatest interest in the Presidents at
titude, said prior to Mr.. Hardings
formal statement that pledge Of Sc,
crecy prevented him from divuldginS
whether there had been an agreement
as to application Of the treaty. He
added that the meaning adopted at
the time Of signing might be changed
in the future, so can say nothing
at this time"

added prominence today through the

Leach Cross. the veteran light
weight OF the east side, had his as
pirauons for a successful comeback
to the ring shattered at Bbbets Fdcld
in Brooklyn last night. The two
judges awarded the decision to Jimmy
Duffy Of the west side. who met Leach
in the main 20 Of ten rounds.
The decision was a big disappoint-
ment TO Leach and his thousa nds Of
followers, who figured that the worst
the veteran fighter should have re-
ceived was Q draw. The bout was u
very unsatisfa ctory one. Both mon
kept fighting at close quarters in
two thirds Of the rounds, and after
the first two rounds the crowd in the
upper part Of the grandstand kept
repeatedly showing its displeasure
by whistling and hooting.
The fighters would get into close
quarters and would punch away at
each others body until Referee Haley
would pry them apart. Leach's work
at the infighting was better than that
OF Duffy, and 1t was not until the
referee became ,disgusted at their
style OF battling that he would get in

on the roof OF the boat house and
started for the island in hopes Of
making false trial.
