Washington. Notice of this. given by
H. A. l.. Fisher Of the British delega-

to league enthusiasts as an assurance
that Great Britain means to advance
the cause of the league in Washington
and to plead for recognition of it by
the United tates as an international
agency for insuring the execution OF
any plan the Washington conference
may adopt.
The United States has been charged
repeatedly here with holding back the
entire cause of disarmament by frus-
trating the first step taken in tina,
connection when it refused to ratify
the st. Germain convention.
Great Britain's initiative to have the
Assembly address Washington directly
on the subject has defeated plans by tbs
extremists in Geneva to call a confer

conference fixed for next June. withou

A sensational duel in the Velodrome,

caused intense excitement here when
accounts Of It were published in eve-
ming newspapers.
The principals were Count de Poret
and Camille La Fargo, both members
OF the leading clubs Of the French
capital, both well known in sporting
circles and both having a record of
bravery during the war. 1t was ar
ranged that four shots should be fired
by each at a distance Of twenty PAGES
with three minutes between volleys.
At the end of L fourth exchangv
neither had been bs wounded. The
Count de Poret was l-eported to have
sustained slight flesh wound In the
right side.

cided to continue the combat with
swords. La Fargo received two
wounds In the right shoulder during
the first twenty minutes but con-
tinued until his adversary. already
suffering from three wounds in the
arm, received a thrust through the
right forearm. The arm became stiff
Immediately and the seconds inter-
fered. forcing the Count to leave the
field despite his insistence with tears
in his eyes that the duel be continued
until one or the other was dead.
Both principals are said to have beeii
hustled from the capital, as the French
law prohibiting duelling now provides
for life sentence for the survivor
should the victim die. This severe
penalty has practically ended duelline
to the death, although several minor
engagements usually ending with the
principals shaking hands after the first
blood has been drawn have been fought
at daybreak in the Bois de Boulogne
during the last year. The greatest
secrecy is being maintained as to the
cause of to-day's duel, the seconds
when questioned declaring that it was
a matter OF honor based upon the
gravest Incidents.
