Woods-King Battle
Heads Boxing Card
At Wateryille Dec. Il

Watervlle, Dec. 10.--Everybo IS
looking forward to the coming of
reindeer bells, but the sound that Will
make the Watervillc fistic fans happy
will be the clang Of the bell at the
Armory Wednesday night. Before the
vibrations have ceased enc of the best
fights of the year will he on, namely,
the Billy Woods-Felix King battle.
Billy Woods halls from no other
place than Boston and is considered
one Of the classiest middleweights in
the ring. He has fought in nearly 200
fights and has yet to witness an audi
ence whore the fans demanded their
, money back. Action Is his middle
name. Nothing more need be said.
King. on the other hand, has fought
many successful fights and should be a
great match for the Bean Eater. King
also has that characteristic of going
after his man from the gong. So when
ram meets ram there is only one out

The latter part of the card will see

happy to conduct these chapel ex-
ercises, for he loved his college and
all its life. In a very real sense he
walked humbly with his God. Year
after year as President of the Ben
cvolent Society he would personally
solicit contributions for the poor of
Brunswick. He was a good neighbor
and a kind friend, and so sincere was
his spirit that he could take n stand
often unpopular, stand that would
require real moral courage, and stick
by, whether or not persons of friends
were involved in opposition.

Wednesday night. Billy Woods, now
OF Medford will whang away with
Battling Terry Brooks Of the West
End, in ten round semi final. Woods
was seen here at the first show Of the
Augusta A. A., stacking up against

steadily, in his last start he won over
Shaver O'Brien. The main attraction
on the Armory card will be Johnny
Downes and Willie Gradwell.
On Tuesday night at the Waterville
armory there will be a fast card for
the basketball fans, with three games,
and the entire proceeds are to go as

who suffered losses in the North COL
lege fire. The clashes will be as
follows: Erskine Academy VS.. Wa

1t looks now as if the Capital City
was going to be represented on the

noticeable curtailment last season

the Herald gave to the waning for

TURKISH TREND
CONTINUED from Pace y

we are not forgetting that there are
today in Russian Turkestan thirty
million Turks who, if they dwelt
formerly under the oppression of
czarism, are today ruled by an iron
hand under the blight of bolshe-
vism."
The closing of the fourth week of
the conference has been marked by
distinct disposition on the part of
the Turks to accept occidental ideas
and reject Russian policies. partic-
ularly as regards the straits prob
lem. This was due in a considerable
measure to the tact and wisdom
shown by Ambassador Child, NJ. Bar
rcre- and Lord Curzon, who have
tried to make the Turkish leaders
see that they could trust the occi-
dent.
The American delegation is keep
ing in the background, carefully
avoiding any attempt to thrust
American policies on Europe and
restricting it's efforts to statements
Of the position of the United States
as subjects arise in which the United
States is justifiably interested. But
as the conference progresses there
are indications that the Turkish
leaders are leaning more and more
or America 70 rguidance. believing
that America will strive to give Tur-
key the largest possible sovereignty
over Turkish affairs and Turkish
territory without veXatious control
from without.
Difficulties are being met in the
laying down of the status Of foreign
ers, but it was saaid today that there
was good prospects for settling the
Xtra-territorial problems, particu-
Iarly those involving special courts
for foreigners.
The Turks are holding out strong
ly for all sovereignty prerogatives
and have given the other delegates
to understand that henceforth they
will refuse to foreigners the right to
own land in Turkey. AS this law
would not be retroactive 1t would
not affect property in the possession
of American missionary and phil
anthropic institutions.
Another project accredited to the
Angora statesmen, which will probS
ably come to light this week at Lau-
same, relates to refusal to issue per-
mits to foreign lawyers or doctors to
practice within the confines of Tur-
key. Angora is determined to show
the world that she is qualified to run
her, country from every standpoint
without outside assistance. The pro-
posed measure of prohibition will
not apply to American missionary
positions serving philanthropically
in clinics.
1t is understood that the American
delegation will make no special de-
mands concerning the number of
American warships authorized to
pass through the Dardanelles. but
will probab bly, adhere to the general
plan fixed by the conference, as
Turope's requirements in this re-
spect are certain to satisfy America.
Ismet Pasha's suggestion that
squadrons passing through the
straits be limited to light ships is
based on the American idea that the
Black Sea should be kept open for
peaceful commerce.
Plans for Christmas and New
Years recess have not matured and
will depend on how far the work of
the conference is advanced. If the
big questions are brought to the
point Of signature, vacation may
be decided upon, otherwise not.
