More than 10000 persons who packed
MADISON Square Garden last night were
treated to an upset when Midget Smith
tile diminutive soldier boy. who has been
stopping nearly all his opponents In jig
time, not only failed to vanqulsh Marty
Collins, an East Slider. but was COM
PEELED to content himself with draw
after twelve sizzling rounds.
What made the result all the more
surprising was the fact that Collins was
an eleventh hour substitute for Knock
out Joe O'Donnel of Philadelphia. Jo-
seph had neglected tho formality Of get
ting license card from the Boxing
Commission. therefore was not permit
ted to box.
It Is true that Smith conceded 5 ~
pounds to his opponent Collins weigh
ing 1231a pounds TO 11s by Midget.
Despite his handicap Smith was gem
orally selected as a quick winner over
his opponent. Collins, however. proved
TO be a combatiye person with a heavy
right hand punch and he used It in &
manner to astonsh the spectators as
we'll as Smith
Collins shook Smith to his heels with
3 right handler in the second round that
cut cash under the Midget's left eye.
Collins landed several more hard rights
to body and face In succeeding rounds
Smiths punches lost their steam as
The battle progressed and Collins
seemed to grow stronger. The last few
rounds were desperately contested, with
Collins having the better Of the ex-
change. Collins apparently was entitled

judges was disapproved by the majority

SPIKE THROWN IN
NAVY JUNK|NG PLAN
FRANCE MAKES PROPOSAL TO
INCREASE HER FLEET.
OTHER POWERS ARE OPPOSED
Assert Paris Proposal Would Entirely
Upset Whole Scheme OF 5-S-3
Naval Reduction.

Washington, ID. .C.-The French del.
egation has presented a proposal for
SO great an increase in the strength
of the French navy that the British
declare such a program, IL carried
out, would upset the whole plan for a
5-5-3 naval reduction.
Although not yet entirely revealed,
the British understand that the
French provision provides for the con
struction of 10 35, 000-ton superdread-
naughts in the 10 years subsequent to
1925. These vessels, Of a type sim
lar to the American battleship Mary
land, would give France a capital
ship tonnage of 100000, as against
3!5,000 for Japan and a preponder-
ance of new "post-Jutland' type craft
over all nations.
Italy. although indicating disap-
prevail of such a building program, is
said to have told the arms confer.
ence that if France constructs 10
ships, she must carry out a similar
program.
The combined French and Italian
fleets thus would be some 200, 600
tons stronger than the British or the
American allotments under the re.
vised figures agreed on by the big
three.
The question Of French and Italian
naval ratios, as compared with the 5.
5-3 standings assigned to the United
States, Great Britain and Japan un'
der an agreement previously reached,
was taken up by the subcommittee
Of Is.
The British spokesman said that the
French proposals, if acc0ded to, would
throw out the whole naval program"
He declared it had met with distinct
disapproval from the British delega
ton.
The British spokesman further de-
clared that Italy did not approve OF
the French proposition, for if it was
carried out Italy would be obliged to
build in the same amount. This
meant, H. SAN, al addition of 700,
and both France and Italy would
spend $500, O0O, 900 in the 1O-year per
iod beginning in 1926.
The American delegates, the British
spokesman said, also had taken &
strong stand against the French prop
%osition, first objecting for economic
reasons.

BIG POWERS SIGN PEACE
PACT FOR THE PACIFIC
Provides Pact Shall Not Affect Policy
Toward Mandates, Nor Cover
Domestic Controversies

Washington, d. C.-The new four
power Pacific treaty was signed for
mally Tuesday, but the American del
egates affixed their signatures subject
TO a written reservation that the
treaty should not affect the American
policy towards mandates % cover
any controversy involving a question
within the domestic jurisdiction of
any power. In turn, the plenipotenti-
aries of the United States, Great
Britain, France and Japan placed
their signatures upon the treaty and
later signed copies both in English
and French Of the American reserva
ton.
The reservation is in two parts, the
first calculated to temporarily
question of zap and other inundated
islands which are to be made the sub
ject Of a special treaty. The second
clause declares that all questions
which, according to principles of in
ternational law lie exclusively within
the domestic jurisdiction Of the re
spective powers" shall be considered
outside the scope Of the treaty.
The American delegates, the first
to sign under an alphabetical arrange
ment of the powers, put their names
to the document and affixed their
seals a few minutes after IL O'clock
The approval of the United States
was gf,e1, however, subject to a writ
ten understanding with the japanese
providing that the Acknowledgements
treaty regarding zap must be consum
mated before the four-power arrange
ment is binding.
Except for this reservation, which
Is expected to be erased within a few
days by signature of the zap treaty
the new Pacific agreement now re
quires only parliamentary ratification
by the various governments to make
it effective.
The American official copy of the
document now goes to the Whit,
House for transmission by Presiden'
Harding to the senate. The new past

very short time.

Appeal for Funds.

Washington, ID. C.-ApproXimately
Sc, 01T, 00U,0 600 mas been added 10 the
value of government war bonds held
by American citizens in the last nine
months. The general rise in value OF
Liberty and Victory bonds, which sold
at So and 81 last winter, dates from
March, when President Harding and
the republican administration took Of
flee.
The policies of President Harding
and his cabinet are believed to have
had an a%ppreciable effect in causing
investing public toward the govern
ment issues. One important influ-
ence, it is said, is the policy Of effic.
iency and economy emphasized in gov
eminent financial affairs by the presi-
dent and his assistants.
The vast increment in value is
shared by nearly 2O,00O,O00 men and,
women who responded to the goverH
ment's appeal for funds with which al

Liberty 3hs sold at around 90, the

Victory Ans recently touched par,
100, while on the same day 3&s sold
readily at 1919. In the winter and
spring the Liberty issues will touch

while the Vivtory notes, maturing
