THE OLD MONROE TRICK
Dempsey grinned broadly when he
told the story Of an attempt to put
something over OIL him at Butte, Mont,
where Jack Monroe was m0neuyercd
into tho ring against Jeffries while the
Old Grizzly was on the same sort OF
tour that Dempsey had been taking.
The canny miners Of Butte had cham

about the same bulk as Willard. Demp.
sey was passing through inviting tho
world In general to step up and be
knocked out.
Swanson was trained for weeks in
advance to pull the Monroe" as the
cognoscenti of Butte termed It. Blu:
both Dempsey and Kearns had been
warned that Swanson was bent on
homicide, so Dempsey was ready.
fWhen Swanson came too he only asked
feebly, "Who touched Off the blast?"
n Vancouver policeman with pugilis
tic ambitions also gave the champion
some cause for innocent merriment.
The cop was earnest, so earnest that
he filled the ring so full Of arms and
legs that Dempsey thought it was the
entire force. He hit one Of the chins
that flew by HIM and the police force
took the count.
1t is quite evident that Dempsey and
kearns are banking on Willard for the
next big killing. There are still lot
OF people he got started rdlu fgqqflZf
or people who believe that Willard was
spilled before he got started at Toledo
and that he might have had chance
II he had not underestimated Dempsey.
It's free country and anybody who
believes that should not be sentenced

300 MILLION IN
 CASH DISAPPEARS
 FROM CATHEDRAL

Sergiyevo. Russia, Feb. 6.-The $30o,0oo.00O treasury of the Cathe- dral of the Trinity monastery of St. Sergius has disappeared. Red sol diers now use as a barracks the build ings of what was once regarded as the richest and most famous convent of all the RuSsias, save possibly that at Kiev. There are but five monks left in the monastery. Fifteen others have removed a mile and a half dis tant to the Church of Gethsemane, at Chernigovskaya (Mother of God), where they have founded an humble commune and till the soil.
 The other monks who lived at this vast religious mecca, to which yearly came 100000 pilgrims. have been scattered.
 There are but few pilgrims now to pray before the ikon of St Sergius, the miraculous powers of which was supposed by Russians to have saved the monastery from destruction by the French army of invasion in 1872. |. The very jewels of the open silver sarcophagus of St. Sergfus have been removed or replaced with false ones. 1t Is claimed. Many of the vast treas ures of church vessels, mitres and croziers, made of solid gold and in laid with precious stones of immense value, are missing. It is claimed that the loot from the monastery equaIled in value the treasures of gold and silver and stones of St. Peters. iE Rome.
 The monks remaining at the mon astery show the churches to the few visitors. The monastery is c1assed aas a national Soviet museum No service Is held within the celebrated churches.
 This city. which in pre-war days permitted neither Jews nor soldiers to camp or dwell here, is now full of both.

 Stand on Censorship
 There has been much agitation about censorship. One of the duties film industry so effectively that not even the most exacting critic can find cause for continuing this con- motion.
 We have opposed censorship be- cause it can never be justly and in- or bodies the individuals of which owe their appointment to politics, sectarianism or personal power. By this I mean that no member of a certain industry. sect or creed can be considered competent to be set up as a final judge They all are more or less prejudiced. and many of them are subject to influence which may be exerted from certain quarters.
 Now it is the essential purpose of the film producers to turn out pic lures which will meet the full pub lie support and fndorsement-

They each have a strong following, large number who are personally influenced by what they see these stars do. They fix the fashions in clothes. in manners. In customs; they teach them lessons in morals and in law enforcement.
 So if these film stars do things on the screen that ought not to be done in actual life these actions must be accompanied by the pointing of a moral which will effectively convey to the public the fact that the fol- lowing of such a course can lead only to disaster or disgrace.

 OF ARMS FARLEY FORECAST
Envoys of England, France, Japan and Italy Are Reported Due For Relief From Washington Labors; Two Meet Criticism.

The British Ambassador is more American" than any of his prede- eessors in the picturesque old British Embassy here. He has a direct speech, almost blunt som etimes, and has little of the characteristic British accent. As a matter of fact, he is a Canadian, which may account for most of it. His critics in Great Brit ain find fault with him because he does not have the worshipful regard for family trees that many English diplomats possess.
 Vittori Rolandi Ricci, the Italian Ambassador, is reported scehduled for an early departure from Washington. NJ Ricci is understood to be anxious for relief. He is said by his friends to want to devote his time to the bet torment of Italy's economic system.
 Jap Envoy Is Blamed.
 Kijuro Shidehera, the Japanese Am bassador. who has had a great num- Der of controversial problems to set tie with the American State Depart ment. will in all probability return to Tol1ic soon after the Conference ends. Shidehara is understood to be ''in bad'' with the powers in Tokio, and there has been much criticism in his own country of his work in the Arms Con- ference.
 It is recalled that at one critical iuncture of the Conference proceed iugs Ambassador Shidehara became acutely i'll and did not participate in the affairs of the Conference for some time. It was facetiously suggested by some irreverent observers at the time that the Japanese Ambassador was suffering from ''congeStion of the ca bIes."
 h any event, it was an open secret that there were strong differences of opinion within the Japanese delega- tion. with Shidehara and Prince To- kugawa on the one hand and the mill itary and naval figures, headed by Ad- miral Baron kato, on the other. At one time Kato was conducting all of Japan's negotiations almost single handed

Washington, Feb. 6. = A severe shake-up in Washington's Diplomatic Corps is expected to follow in the wake of the armament conference
 Unless the tea-table strategistS are RH wrong in their SurnliSes-and they Seldom are-some of the most Ia miliar figures in the Capitals foreign colony are due to be relieved when Enc armament conference formally fnelts away. They will either be as signed to other posts, put on home duty, or retired. It is not lmprob- able that some of them will be found in Genoa when the powers meet there March S to settle those world prob lens which Paris and Washington failed to settle.
 All the envoys of the so-calIed Big F'our'-Great Britain, France, ltaly and Japan-are due for early relief from their American assignments. aS- cordiug to expectations that prevail in diplomatic quarters
 JuSserand to Be Retired.
 Jules J. Jusserand. the ArnbasSador or for France. who is Dean of the Corps, is to be retired. according to reports Ever since the war ended NJ. JuSserand has been the target of considerable criticism in his own country. Some of his opponents have laid the blams at his door for the loss oI French presSige in America He Is also blamed for failure to put the French position in the Armament Conference "in a better light He is advanced in years. and there is demand for y7ounger blood.
 Ii NJ. Jusserand is retired it will leave the spanish Ambassador, Senor de Riano as the Dean of the Wash ingtOr Corps. And if anything should Happen 10 him Washington would be in a terrible predicament, for that would leave the deanship with NJ BakhIneteff, the Russian Ambassador, who hasn't had a government to rep resent for more than four hears now, but who is still the accredited Russian envoy, in spite of that fact.
 Reports recently were printed 1n London that Sir Auckland Geddes the British Ambassador, was to be withdrawn, but these were SubSs- quently denied. The impression pre- walls. however, that Sir Auckland s :. tenure of the American office is soon to expire. He has made notable rec ord in Washington, and it was due in q no small measure to his efforts that Great Britain emerged from the Ar rnament Conference without having X met defeat in a single issue.
