Washington has precipitated a IL

American merchant vessels off the

The British ambassador emphaii-
cally denies that he or his staff
are IN any way engaged in such a
plot, and he probably speaks the
truth. Hs would hardly court the

WONDERS OF THE RADIO

He predicts the development Of the
electron tube. a device which will
compress large amounts Of power in

equipped with il to hurl messages
through the air so forcefully that
all obstacles will be defied- Il will
not Be long. he says. before New
York and Chicago will taJk By tele-
phone with London. Paris and Ber-
lin
Considering the extent OF radio de-
velopment in tie last few years,
the inventors predictions sound rea-
sonable. possibly conservative The
result will be the greatest uuify-
ing force in history. There will
be many novel turns in international
relations when nations can hear
each others voices
Every radio fan will be q eosmo-
polite when this comes about. with

All this is not without the realm

WISDOM or UNITED STATES
EMPHASIZED

Current events emphasize the wis
dom OF the United States remain
ing free from all European en-
tanglements as well as emphasizing
the necessity for the continuance
OF such freedom
There is a visit Of Clemenceau-
He came 10 this country for the
avowed purpose Of discussing what
be believes TO be the duty Of the
United States In the reconstruction
Of Europe without attempting ia
any way to draw any opinion a.
TO the statements made by MI
Clemenceau OF the logic % his
argument. il Is sufficient TO record
the fact that his statements and
arguments have aroused la.h con
tradiction and resentme-- "a the
United States.
The truth % his statements has
been questioned By the British En-
bassy. by members Of both parties
In the United States Senate. by
prominent German-AmcTicans and
others. The logic % his arguments
has been questioned In many guar
ters.
The moral OF al this Is very
evident. Il does not answer N"
question 70 say that Mr. Clemeu-
ceau has no right 90 say these
things In the United States The
point Il that DO the United States
were a member OF the League OF
Nations. as France is. and wera
as deeply involved In the settle
ment OF European affairs as France
and other members OF the League
OF Nations are. Mr. Cicmeneeea D
would have right 20 visit the
United States and say these things
He would, as representing a coun-
try which was a partner OF the
United States boz settling European
auarrels, have a perfect right o.
state the case 10 the American
people and ask them 10 influence
their government into taking his
side Of the question.
And the right Of Mr.. Clemenceau
TO visit the United States would
be no greater than the right Of
Mr.. Lloyd George to visit the
United States and plead for US 10
take England's side in the quar-
rels. II would be no greater than
the right OF former Premier Nit
Of Italy TO visit the United States
and appeal to our people TO take
Italy's viewpoint. II would be no
greater than the right OF the rep
resentatiYes OF the present German
government to visit the United
States and conduct a propaganda
from their angle.
In brief. were the United State
now a member OF the League OF
Nations. II would long since have
become a battle-ground for the con
flicting opinions OF all nations OF
Europe. Our hope of becomins
the melting-pot of the alien popu-
lation would be blasted because the
various foreign appeals that would
be made 10 this country would ae.
eentuate and keep alive the racial
national and religious bloes which
come TO this country from Europe.
In short, the United States, were

CHAMP OUT SIX WEEKS
Injury To Benny Leonard's Wrist Will Cause Title Holder To Be Idle For Some Time.

New York, Mar. 2.-Benny Leon ard, worlds lightweight boxing cham pion, may not be able tT enter the ring for at least six weeks because of an injury on the back Of his right hand.
 This information was given out by Billy Gibson, the champions s manager, to Frank Iflournoy, match maker for tho Madison Square Gar den Sporting club, who had tentative ly arranged to match Leonard and Charley White of Chicago in title bout here on March 17.
 Before definitely deciding against permitting Leonard to appear, Gib- son consented to have the champion submit to another examination by physicians, and to have an N-ray photograph taken of the injured member.
 The doctors who already have eX- amined Leonard, his manager said, believe that the injury is due to a paralyzed nerve. There is large lump near the wrist on the back of the champions hand, he added, and pressure on the knuckles causes the fighter extreme pain.

Tigers Make Ready

Detroit, March 2.-Twenty-thrce members ot the Detroit American club were in the team training quar- ters at Augusta. Ga., today awaiting favorable conditions under which to launch the spring conditioning.
 A heavy rain greeted the players upon arrival at Augusta ycstrday and wet turf, it appeared would pre- vent workout today.
 Under Ty Cobb's training program, one session each day is to be held be- tween noon and 3 D. m. The men hiking two miles from their quarters to the field.
 The men are quartered in two old Southern shomes, just across the Sa- vannah river in South Corolina. This arrangement, Cobb believes, will go a long day toward throwing the regu. lars and the "rookics" into closer panionship and eliminating the tendency of one group to hold aloof from the other, a condition that seriously hampers some promising youngsters in their first Major league attempts, according to Cobb's theories

Yale Golf Champion
 Quits College for Business

New Haven, March 2.-Jesse w. Sweetser, of BronXville, N. Y., who is regarded by many as one of the best golfers in the east, will be lost to Yale this spring. The former inter- collegiate champion has left college and entered business in a prominent bond house in New York, where he will stay until next fall when he ex- poets to resume his course at New Haven. Sweetsers resignation from college came as quite surprise, for it was expected he would not only participate in golf, but also was count ed on to become one of the mainstays of the track team.
 The Ardsley youth, however, found he could omit a terms class work and still continue with his class next au- tumn, thereby gaining considerable experience in the business which he hopes to follow without sacrificing any of his chances at Yale.
