Ring Bouts Of
Carpan Champ

The string Of IA knockouts con.
Etnced Boxing promoters and the
public atllarge that Dempsey, in
spite OF unpopularity because Of his
failure to get into active military
service In the war, was the logical
man to meet Jess Willard for the
heavyweight championship Of the
world. TEX" Richard clinched the
bout.
The principals met In New York
February ., 1918, to agree 10 condi.
tons for the bout. The statutes Of
New York at that time made lille.
gal articles for boxing bout signed
In that state. Accordingly, when
conditions had been settled, tho
principals, their managers and
TEX" Richard ferried to Jersey
City and signed tho papers In q
railway waiting room.
After virtually every city OF &C.
count In the United States where
boxing was legal, had been men.
toned as the possible site, Rick.
ard announced that Toledo, o., had
been selected for the bout, July 1.
City and state officials declared
themselves favorable TO the plans
and the boxers, about six weeks
before the scheduled date, started
training in camps near the big
arena.
In spite OF Dempsey's great rec.
ord for hitting, many persons, in.
Guiding Willard himself, were con.
fident that the hugo bulk OF the
Kansan, who had always maintain.
cd fairly good physical condition,
would make him impregnable be.
fore his smaller opponent.
Dempsey, apparently unmindfll
OF the disparity in height and
weight, declared that he was going
to tackle Willard as he had tackled
his victims Of the past two years
with rush. Tho fact that he
har put out both Carl Morris and
Fred Fulton, men much larger than
himself, in the first round, made

Jess Willard in the same manner,

GERMANY CAN'T
MEET PAYMENT
OF GOLD MARKS
Allies Said to Haze Been I'm
officially Notified of Ma
tons Decision.

BERLIN, Nov. 10 BY Radio).-Ger-
many has unofficially notified the allies
that she cannot pay the next reparations
installment of 50O,O3OOO0 gold marks due
by Jan. i. 1922.
The Information was received today
from the highest authority that the gov
eminent has conveyed through unofficial
channels to the allies the Information
that she is "at the end of her rope"
All protests by the allies hereafter
about Germanys failure to meet the
reparation payments due will be met by
the statement "try to get it,"
Germany's attitude, it was made plain,
is not one of defiance, bu Of utter
despair. The allied commission here, it
is learned, ia convinced OF Germanys
ability to pay. The experts attached to
this commission again are going over the
situation.
The German government It can be
stated. has determined to stand or fail on
the decision that there must be a re-
vision of the terms of the Versailles
treaty.
There is Increasing evidence that Ger
many, after weighing all the con-
sequences, has decided to face even the
bitterest penalty,~namely, an invasion of
the Ruhr district by the French.
German bankers are almost unanimous
ly Of the opinion that an economic world

GEORGE
MAY NOT VISIT
u. S. CAPITAL
Irish Problem Still Holds At
tenti0n of British
Premier.

LONDON, Nov, 15-The outcome of
the unionist convention at Liverpool
Wednesday and Thursday will settle the
question Of whether Premier Lloyd
George will go to Washington to attend
the armament conference, it was officially
stated today.
If the unionist convention supports the
stand taken by Sir James Craig, Ulster
premier, and his cabinet, n general cleo
tion will be called and Lloyd George will
go to Washington.
The British premier has not yet re-
ceived complete reports from the delega-
ton at Washington, but it was an
nounced that the British representatives
at the American capital have plenipoten-
tiaryR status and whatever action they
take will receive the support of the cab
met.
Lloyd George conferred with Lord
Middleton and six other southern union
lists who are opposed to partition of Ire
land.
Sim Fein leaders have returned to
London and it is possible they may meet
the premier late today.

" The public had an opportunity to
further study the effect of the American
proposals submitted to the disarmament
conference and it is quite evident that no
justification was found for the very pes
simistic feeling that was displayed yes
terday in relation to the steel companies.
While there are no official figures avail
able, the opinion has been expressed that
the percentage of steel production de-
voted to naval construction and armament
is too insignificant to be an important
market factor, 4L2 during the early trad
ing q decidedly better tone prevailed,
with a liberal volume of buying orders
for all stocks, including the steel shares;
for railroad shares, evidently based upon
the prospect of speedy enactment of the
railroad funding bill, and also Influenced
by the determined stand taken by the
officials of the road to obtain a further
reduction of wages. And furthermore,
there is a prospect for increased busi-
ness, since it appears that production of
steel mills has been further increased.
During the mid -day trade the market
turned easier, with considerable pressure
directed against various issues, but
largely by the professional element, there
being no indication of liquidation from
commission house sources.
These reactionary periods are incidents
of the market. They must be counted
upon, but with basic conditions on the
mend apd the volume of business grad
ually increasing there is no reason to ex-
pect these reactions to be more than tenn
pOrary.
We continue to suggest the ACCESSIBILITY
of taking advantage of them for the pur-
chase of stocks.

GOOD SWINE
TOUCH 81 MARK
Cattle Trade Again Very Dull
Calves Steady to Lower.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Swine prices touched new low levels
again today in trade on the local live
stock exchange, when declines of % to
81 cents were sustained. Local hackers
established the market, buying the
heavier grades of swine, while shippers
with Eastern /house connections followed
the lead, buying the lighter grades of
hogs.
Declines were due principally to large
receiDtS locally and lower tendencies
elsewhere. Light swine sold generally at
$7.1OGI2J while there were a few sales
of that grade of swine at prices around
the 81 mark. Heavies, mixed and
mediums generally brought 81, while
there were few sal9S of good mixed at
$40 The bulk Of the sales for the day
were made at 81.
Receipts for the day ran close to 10000
and a fair clearance was anticipated.
Trade in cattle was extremely dull and
draggy and prices were barely steady
to % cents lower generally, due to the
poor quality, although there were Il
few good cattle on the market that
brought steady prices.
The peculiar trend that the market has
taken recently cannot be exactly eX-
planned by commission men, although
some of them are of the opinion that the
lower tendencies in swine prices have had
some influence.
Receipts for the day approximated 700
fresh cattle, while there was some stale
stun held IN the pens from the MARKET
of the previous day.
Calves were steady to SOC lower, with
Eastern shippers paying only $1150 for
choice yeas, while a few small punches
of that grade of calves were bought by
local concerns at S12, which was the top.
There were close to 500 calves on the
market, 400 Of the shippers bought.
Sheep and lambs were steady, with re-
ceipts very light and the quality only
fair. There were few sales of good to
choice eve and wether lambs at $3.50
$50, with the latter figure the top for
the days trade.
Receipts ran close to 200.

III. s. EXPERTS
TO FIGHT FOR
SUBMARINES
Necessary for Protection of
u. S. Outp0sts Is Con-
tentiOn Advanced.
NEEDED FOR DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-American ma
val experts are preparing to loose their
sixteen-inch guns upon any proposal from
Great Britain for further limitation OF
submarine tonnage. They are ready to
offer united opposition to the sugges-
ton of a curtailment of underseas
strength to be proposed by Great Britain
as an amendment to the Hughes plan
for the limitation of naval armament.
Whether this objection will cause dis
cord in the harmony which thus far has
marked the proceedings Of the conference
rests entirely with President Harding
and Mr.. Hughes. but there is no mistak-
ing the feelings of American naval men
On the subject.
Are the American outposts in the Pa
cifc to be left absolutely unguarded,
these experts are demanding. The United
States, with unprecedented liberality, has
offered to stir up a considerable portion
of her capital ships, assuming in max
ing such a sacrifice that she would be H.
lowed at least some defensive weapons
for safeguarding her island possessions
in Far Eastern waters.
SUBMARINE
DEFENSIVE ARM.
The submarine, it was pointed out,
strategically is a defensive arm. For
years the general board Of the Navy De-
partment, the general staff of naval war
fare and the court of last appeal in mat
tiers pertaining to naval strategy, has
cOntended that the Island Of Guam and
the Philippines should be made Cub
marine bases of the first order.
Since the limited States was mot r.
have the surface feet twice the size of
that Of Japan, which was deemed 'leces-
sary to offset the handicap of distance
between San Francisco and MaFiIa, it
was insisted that any adequate plan Of
national defense must include some
means Of holding our island possessions
until the main feet should arrive
The original Hughes proposal took this
argument into consideration. 1t placed
the formal submarine tonnage Of the
United States and Great Britain at 10000.
which was somewhat in excess IF our
actual commissioned tonnage of effective
underwater craft.
Under the Hughes plan the rattj Of 8
to 5, set up between the United States
and Great Britain on the one hanf and
Japan on the other, is maintained with
regard to submarines. The latest figures
regarding present submarine strength,
as compiled by the American naval in
telligence service, follow:

Wheat-It is again necessary to refer
to a pathetic attitude of the foreign
buyer. New export business is reported
as lacking and it is also claimed that
Japan has been Offering for resale on this
question of foreign demand. We ask you
to note that rye on the Chicago market
is some % cents cheaper than wheat, and
1t would seem that if foreigners were
not well supplied, this grain, which is in
favor III Europe, would not be selling at
demand does develop, it will most as
suredly take Manitoba wheat for the
simple reason that it is selling at so
much less than United States sorts TAX
ing into account the question of ex-
change, Winnipeg December is around IL

cipitatiOn in the Southwest, where it is
badly needed. If this materializes, there
will probably be increased offerings from
the Southwest interior.
Corn and O2ts-There is very brisk
export demand for corn resulting in A
relatively better basis for bids from the
seaboard. The business Is thought to be
around 100000 bushels. This situation
in conjunction with the light movement
may strengthen values temD0rarilV but
inaSmuch as the crop and reserves fur
nish some GC0,GOO0O0 bushels above the
ordinary requirements it will be seen
that an export business of 100000
bushels daily during the entire year is
necessary If the excess supplies are to be
absorbed. Shippers speak of a slight
improvement in the domestic demand for
oats, but nothing of Importance. Both
of these markets are neglected.
ProviSions-There has been consider
able selling of January lard, which APP
peared to be liquidation with the offer
ings going into hands OF packing inter-
ests. The market steadied toward the
last. due TO some firmness in the late hog
market Prospective movement of hogs
does not favor important advances in

hO-NAAOAs
NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Undoubtedly
the action of the stock market came as a
disagreeable surprise to many who had
hoped to see the favorable impression
created by the Hughes disarmament pro-
pOsals reflected in rising prices for Sc
curities. The explanation for reactionary
tendency would embrace several features,
none of which would be conclusive in it
self. One was the feeling that the mar
ket had advanced to a point where profit
taking was in order and that encourage
ing news of the character mentioned fur
-nished 4 strong spot for selling. Another
was the belief that no matter how bene-
Eeial might be the ultimate effects of the
program suggested, a certain amount of
dislOcation in various industries and
companies would be entailed.
Consequently when selling made its
appearance at the opening in Bethlehem,
Crucible and other steel shares, even the
most bullish operators became uncertain
Of their position. The sharp rise in
Mexican Petroleum and other members
Of the oil group and the strength ex-
hibited by the feathers and coppers,
merely delayed the attempt to take down
profits. Toward the close the selling
gained in volume and the undertone be-
came more unsettled.
Weakness of a special character was
displayed by a few specialties, such as
Industrial Alcohol, Wilson & Co. and
the rubber and tire companies. In the
latter case, this was due to the announce
ment of further price reductions.
