that the Ford paper planned to at

Paris to Have
Great Stadium
For Oly1npics

Paris, July 2S.-A project TO
build an enormous stadium on the
Champs de Mars, where in 1900
the largest worlds fair was held,
is at present under consideration
following the designation of Paris
for the Olympic games of 1924.
The position is an ideal one in
so far as it is easily accessible from
any part of Paris as well as for its
surrounding. The stadium would
be built close to the Eiffel Tower
and would border the Seine on one
side. 1t is proposed to dig deeply
into the Champs de Mars and
strengthen the foundations with
cement, for the river does not run
very deep under the projected en-
placement. Stands would be built
all around the stadium, while
quarters for participants in the
games would be erected on the old
Galleries des Machines site, imme-
diately opposite the Ecole Mill
taire.

middleweight boxing champion
ship of the world is in dispute to-
day.
According to the Cleveland box
ing commission and sport writ
ers who were at the ringside, the
title belongs to Bryan Downey, Of

by a knockout over Johnny Will
son of Boston, in the seventh
round of scheduled twelve round

But Jimmy Gardner, of Lowell,
Mass, former welterweight box
er, who refereed the match, de-
clared Wilson retains the cham
pionship because Downey fouled
Wilson.
Wilson was knocked down three
times in the final round.
The round was just one minute
and six seconds old when Downey
sent Wilson down with a right to
the jaw and a left to the chin.
Wilson was on one knee when
Gardner slowly counted nine.
Whether he counted ten is dis
puted.

To0ppose
Reduction
OF Armies
France, Japan, Italy
and Balkans to Line
UP Against Proposal
In League
By Newton G. Parke.

Paris, July 28.-A serious at
tempt will be made at the Septem
Der meeting of the league of ma.
tions to get European powers Il
reduce their armies TO a size some.
what in proportion to that now
maintained by Germany.
The effort will be supported hy
the Scandinavian states, probably
Switzerland and Holland and a
number OF South American coun-
tries.
France, with the largest land
world; Japan, Italy and most of
the Balkan states will fight the
measure vigorously. 1t is almost
certainly doomed to defeat.
The original proposal was sub
mitted to the league armament
committee from the British League
OF Nations union. The union S
committee argued that since the
menace Of Prussian milltarism has
been removed by the treaty of YER
sailles that gave Germany only
small army other European ma
tions cannot argue with logic that
they must maintain large land
forces.
The Scandinavian delegates will
come to Geneva prepared to assert
ahat neither France, Japan nor
any Of the other nations still sup
porting large armies needs L1ore
troops in relation to their size and
geographical position, than ter
many to preserve order at bone.
They will concede that Britain and
France, with large colonial pos
sessions, must be allowed snffi-
cient forces to protect them. But
with respect to article 3, relating
to protection against outside ag-
gression," they will again point
out that the elimination OF Ger
many as great war power, the
Acknowledgement of Austria .IIun-
gary and The disarmament OF Bull
garia makes 1t unnecessary for any
European state to maintain large
forces solely as a measure of de-
fense.
France is readyt accept the
scandinavian proposition in prin-
ciple. She is willing to concede
that everything the British
unions committee has proposed
VIII suit her in perhaps twenty or
thirty years. But she will insist
on the necessity of maintaining a
large force until Germany has full
filled the conditions OF the YER
saiiies treaty. Nothing that may
be said at Geneva will cause her
to bulge from that position.
Japan will stand pat on the posi-
tion she took last year--that SO
long as America remains outside
the league and does not participate
In disarmament discussions she
cannot consent to any scher,e for
reducing her armies. Italy aud

have been eyeing each other sus-

HARDING MAY
HIT RETAILERS
President Expected to Protest
Bringing Disputes to
White House.

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-President
Harding prepared some outspoken ad-
vice to the business world today which
viii be delivered in a speech at New
York Monday.
The rough draft Of this address which
the President is understood to be work
ing on indicates that he is growing
somewhat impatient with the failure Of
retail prices to go down toward a pre-
war level
President Harding's speech, to be de-
hvered at a dinner to be attended by
New York's leading publishers and
business men, win deal with business
and labor problems chiefly. He will
take this occasion, it is said, to discuss
the problem which have been placed on
his desk by the business and labor
world alike and it is likely that he will
serve notice on both that they must
cease to look to the Federal Govern
ment for a panacea.
President Harding is trying to STOP
the habit OF bringing all labor disputes
and economic troubles to the White
House and in his speech he win make
another plea for cooperation between en-
ployers and employees.
