Receives Assurance Of Support On
zap Question.
Washington-Great Britain has given
assurances to the United States that
she will support the American conten-
tions with regard to the island of Yap
and other inundated territories in
which this government has set up
claims of equality with other victors
in the war with Germany, according
to information in diplomatic circles.
While the state department "offi-
cially" is still awaiting British re-
ply to Secretary Hughes recent note,
it is understood that the same infor-
NAL conferences which resulted in the
decision to renew American represen-
tation on the allied councils resulted
also in an understanding with Great
Britain that the American claims in
zap will have the support Of our erst
while allies.

n the losers could not pierce it even
Tor short gains. Devils Lake played
nothing but straight football and had
no occasion to open up. Their team
work was exceptional for a high

Howard Elliott was good. Conrad, as
quarter for the Lake team, showed
good Judgment in picking his plays,
and much of the, credit for the vac-
