Washington, D. C.-Evidently the
four power treaty agreed on by the
conference on Limitation OF Arma-
ments. is so indefinite that the Presi-
dent himself did not understand what
it meant.
In reply to an inquiry as to what it
did mean the president declared that
the term "insular possessions" 1nclud-
ed the territory of Japan proper, be-
cause Japan is an island kingdom.
The other three powers would thus be
in a position of maintaining and pro-
tecting japan itself against any hos
tile move. -
When our peace conference dele
gates heaq Of this Interpretation
they Immediately informed the Presl-
dent that such was not their view and
intention.
The incident has caused great ex-
element in G. o. P. circles, ranging
from meriment to crashing OF teeth.
Anti-treaty senators are doing the
laughing and pro-treaty senators feel
desperate because of the result it will
have on Harding's leadership and the
Republican party. -.
The ruling G. o. P. faction had hop
ed to make great political capitol out
of the conference and of the treaty
as promising relief from wars. And
the misunderstanding of Harding
himself as to what the treaty meant
will largely spoil any such affect.
Some of the leaders are critlc1slng
Harding for not following the policy
Of former President Wilson during the
war, of refusing to hold press confer
ences during negotiations because OF
the likelihood of having to answer
questions embarrassing to the dele
gates at work, and embarrassing
to the result which politicians want
the country to expect. ,-2.-. r.. d.. - =
It now develops, also, that Presi
dent Harding has said number Of
things which caused great fiurries
among the conference delegates ane
cabling home for new instructions
He expressed the hope that the con
ference would lead to a permanent
| association of nations and also tina
Germany would be invited into 1t be
fore the work was concluded.

Western Conference
 Officials Take Action

Chicago. April IA general tight ening of rules and regulations gov .erniag athletic competition in west ern conference universities resulted from today's meeting of conference presidents, faculty representatives and directors of athletics
 Disapproval of intersectional con tests. lengthenlng of the residence rule of migratory athletes from one to two years, and 6 tightening of the amateur rule were important fea- tures
 The rule disapproving intersectional contests was not made retroactive and will not influence football con- tests scheduled this year between nounced, and Yale and Chicago and Georgia. The chief objection to in- terseetional contests was that stud ents were taken away from the class rooms too long.
 ! The amateur rule governing foot ball was made more drastic by for bidding college players to be mem bers of teams where admission IS charged.
 After this year. athletes will be permitted to participate in only two sports. if favorable action at the con- ference meeting in June is taken on a resolution presented today. Accord- ing to the proposed rule an athlete would not be allowed to play both. sootball and baseball Cross country running and track work were con sidered one sport

Red Herring, of Louisville, has never fought in Birmingham before. while local fans have seen Leonard in only four rounds of action, the length of his bout with Eddie Hanlon at the E. 4, C. sometime ago. With the hue and cry of fandom for new faces still ringing in their ears, E. A. C. officials have at last obtained the match Magic City railbirds have been looking forward to, a bout between two scrappers who are new 10 local tation behind them to guarantee plen- ty of interest in the affair.
 Promise Fast Bout
 Like the old time favorite, "so much has already been said, and SO well said. etc.," the phrase this un- doubtedly will be the best scrap of the year :" has been used so much that railbirds set up the W. k. cackle when it is repeated, so Roy Cohen, B. A. C. boxing chairman, Is sparing fans this agony in discuss ing the match. Tommy says:
 1t would be foolish to predict the best fight Of the year for Monday night, but one can safely say that two of the best lightweights in the country, and certainly top notch in Dixie, are meeting in the main bout. You can say for mo that B. A. c. off cials are promising the fans a fast and snappy bout. with lots of scien- tific work. A champion and his challenger sometimes stage tame bouts, so We can't guarantee the best fight of the year, but We will prom ise the fans good hard fight, with two of the best of Dixie scrappers in the big match. We'll leave it 10 them to produce the best match"
 It was announced that the new ruto adopted by the B. A. C., namely, the stopping of all matches which fai! to produce thrills np to standard, will again be in force Monday night.
