BRITAIN HAS NOT ASKED
US. TO OUASH WAR DEBT
Story Due to Sir George
Paish's Informal Suggestion.
BIZ the ssoctated Press.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. i.-Treasury Off
cials refused to comment tonight on the
statement OF the British Chancellor of
the Exchequer that the United States
Government refused TO accept British
Government proposals that the interallied
debts arising from the world war be
cancelled.
No mention has ever been made in
official circles here OF any proposal Off
cially rendered by Great Britain for can
collation. of the interallied debts. but it
was recalled that Sir George Paish. the
British financial expert. who visited the
United States a year ago. put forward
some such proposal. Sir Georges mis-
sion was not regarded as official and
consequently his proposal did not re-
ceive official consideration.
In fact. so far as could be learned to-
night no officials here are aware that
the British Government has ever
through any official channel proposed n
remission or cancellation of the British
war debt to the United states. Great
Britain's indebtedness Of about $4,000,
100000 is far larger than that OF any
other of the allied countries

RERLIN, Feb. 4.-Herr Sever
ing, Prussian Minister of
Interior, who recently put the
ban on the wearing of monocles
by members of the Security
Police, has notified President
Ebert that in view of the "great
gravity of Germany's situation"
the coming carnival season, in
which the Germans have been
accustomed to make merry for
month, is to be abolished. He
hopes the people will abandon
their preparations for the car

the order they will be severely
punished. Baden and Bavaria

Munich Government, referring
to the reparation demands in ex-

Rear Admiral William S. Sims. COM
mander Of American naval forces
abroad during the war, again to-day
came into sharp conflict with the views
of Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
the Navy General Board by expressing
the opinion that as a result of expert
ences during the world war the effec-
tiveness of the battleship as a weapon
of warfare has been decreased greatly
by the development of aviation.
Victory on the sea in the future
probably will lie with the navy that
has the superior air force, Admiral
Sims said. and In the main backed
up the view of Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell. assistant chief Of the Army
air service, that the battleship cannot
Withstand a powerful aerial attack.
He was backed in this view by Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske retired and
Gen. Mitchell In testimony before the
committee. but this position was sub
ject to a counter attack by Rear Ad-
miral Badger. head of the Navy General
Board, which, in a statement yesterday.
predicted that the airplane would not
displace the battleship.
Admirals Sims and E'iske and Gen.
Mitchell urged that Congress arrange
for battle between airplanes and an
obsolete battleship to determine the
damage that can be inflicted from the
air.
Representative Butler (Pa.), chair
man OF the committee. expressed the
opinion that this should be done at
once

Decided Dimerence shown.

Decided Difference shown.
The sharp conflict In the views of high
naval officers is shown by the fact that
while Admiral Badger said the present
menace of the airplane attack against
the battleshp Is only about a 10 per
cent. danger Admiral Fiske said that
in a battle between two dreadnoughts
and one large airplane carrier full of
planes he would prefer to be on the
carrier.
Admirals Sims and Fske recon-
mended the immediate construction or
two large airplane carriers capable OF
carrying eighty planes and able to make
a speed of about 33 knots.
As the dispute over the respective
merits of the battleshlp and the air
plane waxed warm before the commit
tee dispute arose between the two
groups of officers as to the damage
done by aerial bombs on the obsolete
battleship Indiana. Efforts to obtain ac-
curate information from members Of the
General Board present failed until Ad-
miral Sims presented chart showing
that II per cent. of the sand bombs
dropped were direct hits and about
4f per cent within sixty feet of the
vessel.
Rear Admiral Coontz. chief of naval
operations. then inferred that Admiral
Sims had no right to make the figures
public and said that he could not under
stand how the results came into the pos-
session OF General Mitchell and Admiral
Sims
'I obtained these figures from army
aviation observers who were asked by
Secretary Daniels to witness the bomb.

GIBBONS TEACHES u
RATHER HOW TO BOX
st. Paul Ghost Dances Elu-
sively About Bronxite for
Ten Rounds.
ny CHARLES +. MATHIsoN.

Opportunity knocked at the door OF
Augie Rather. Bronx middleweight. last
night at Dyckman Oval. but he was SO
busy trying to dodge the jabs, upper
cuts and straight shots OF the aged bur
still active Mike Gibbons that he did
not have time 10 open the door.
Had Rather fought with the aggres-
siveness and effectiveness he mad dis
played IN previous contests he might
to-day be In line for a title combat. but
as he plainly showed fear OF Gibbons
and fought with all the ferocity of a
scared rabbit he still Is ciassed as q
second rater, with small chance OF ever
troubling any holder OF the title in the
middlewelght class.
Gibbons Is still wizard 50 far a.
boxing is concerned, but physically he
is q shell Of his former self. and the
steam behind his punches has departed
almost 10 the vanishing point. The st.
Paul Ghost several times landed flush
on the jaw OF Rather. but failed even to
throw the Broxnite's head back. The
only mark Rather bore was \ puff under
his left eye, while the willy Gibbons was
unmarked.
Rather was so badly off form that he
was slappint with his open left glove.
something he has not done In many q.
day. One round was about the same as
its predecessor. Gibbons would rub his
own nose with his left and then shoot
4 right to Ratners heart. Rather would
then rush to a clinch and they would
try for body blows with poor success.
The referee would then separate them.
after which the crowd Of ten thousand
persons would hoot at the boxers and
urge them TO fight.
Gibbons was obviously not taking any
chances, as he is to fight Gus Platts.
British middleweight champion, In Bos-
ton tonight Unless Gus has improved
very much he will be outpolnted also.
Among the interested spectators OF
the Gibbons-Ratner contest We're Bryan
Downey, who claims the middeweight
title by virtue of having knocked out
Johnny Wilson and Mike O'Dowd. from
whom Wilson won the championship
and who went TO hospital after his
last battle with Wilson.
Preceding the Gibbons-Ratner bout
were two ten round drawn battles be-
tween Jimmy Duffy and Phil Delmonts
and Earl Baird and Johnny Murray.
featherweights.
The Duffy belmont affair was more
like a wrestling match than a boxing
bout, and the decision of draw did not
do either any injustice.
Baird and Murray failed each other
like men beating carpets. and while
science was conspicuous by its absence
energy and endurance were in the fore
ground.
Gene Tunney, pride of Greenwich VII
lage, got the decision over Marty Burke
of New Orleans in n slow bout that
lasted the limit Of ten rounds. From the
performance OF these two chaps neither
will ever menace the light heavyweight
crown now worn by Carpenter BY the
same token Tom Gibbons should take
the measure Of either OF them without
trouble. Each seemed afraid Of the
other. The only damage done during
the bout was cut ear for Burke and a
bloody nose for Tunney.
