NEW YORK. Sept. 10 CUnited
Press).-No worlds championship
is recognized In tennis because the
United States and England have
never been able to agree on tour
nament for the title.
England now maintains that the
British championships at winble-
don carry the worlds championship,
but the United States viii not ad-
NIT II. Even when William T. Tnden
won twice at Wimbledon, the United
States would not recognize him as
the Official worlds champion.
The trouble was caused by the
action OF the British association and
the International Federation IN
awarding the worlds championship
in perpetuity 60 Wimbledon.
The United States has maintained
that the championships should be
alternated. so that America should
get 20 see some OF the worlds tour
naments and at the same time
should not be forced to carry the
financial burden OF sending players
every year 10 England.
Some conferences are 20 be held
this winter and it IS almost sure
that the difficulties will be patched
and that the United States will agree
TO enter the International Federation.
Pressure has been brought TO
bear by the English public to allow
the championship 70 alternate be-
tween England and the United
States.
other suggestions also have been
made. The United States is said to
favor a plan whereby the title would
be defended in the home country OF
the champions. European nations
would object TO this. no doubt, be-
cause America looks 10 be in for .

London, December 21.-The re-

ment's message, sent IN response to
an inquiry from the United States,
IL was said, is expected to be fol
lowed by the assent OF France, to
which the American government
also continued the German sugges-
ton.

American commission determine

ported In London dispatches of The
Associated Press throws the first
definite light on the method by
which American influence is being
drawn int o a new attempt at final
adjustment of the Vexing repara-
tons problem.
The next step to b looked for,
obviously, is an indication of the
French attitude of the German pro
posal that an American economic
commission review Germanys pres
ent situation and estimate her cap
acity to pay as a basis for new
reparations treaty.
There is reason to believe that
previous government reports from
Berlin are of a character to justify
hope that if the French should
prove agreeable to the proposed plan
for reparations revision, no insur.
mountable obstacles would remain
in the way of an agreement as to
the specific amount Germany could
and would nay.

State authorities and detectives

it was reported they had intimated
that they have reason to believe
the hooded band which kidnapped the
missing men killed them and threw
their bodies into the lake. Two iron
wheels of an old farm wagon which
were lying on it's banks are said to
have disappeared the night of the
kidnapping and it is the belief OF the
authorities that these may have
been used as weights to hold the
bodies down.

had been made against representa-

Unbalanced Mind.

Miss Lenore Davies, clerk of the
United States court in this city, is in
receipt of communication from a
Harry Mecklenburg of New Ulm,
which ii would appear is meant by
the writer to be a summons and
complaint in $4,000 action against
the United States Veterans bureau.
The communication Is written with
a pen and both sides of the paper is
used. In the outset the writer states
clearly that he is the plaintiff in the
action and that he will act as his
own attorney in the action he Is
about TO bring.
In the communication the writer
claims that he served in the United
States army from February %. 1918,
TO September 5. 1918, when he was
placed in irons and taken back to
New Ulm by the military authori-
ties. At New Ulm, he stated, he was
taken before Judge of Probate w. b.
Mather, adjudged insane and com
mitted to the state hospital at st.
Peter. The plaintiff alleges that he
was released from that institution
later on. but since that time has
been looked upon as insane. He
wants the United States to recon :
pense him for the disgrace of being
of time from September 5, 1918. For
this he asks $4,000,
Miss Davies explained that she
will not file the communication, as
a summons and complaint, owing to
the fact that the applicant has not
complied with the rules of the court,
in that he failed to file praecipe
for the filing of ii. and failed to
send along the $40 filing fee.

Der of that year. when he was taken
before Judge w. B. Mather of the
probate court of Brown county and
adjucged insane. He was commit
ted to the state hospital at St Pete-.
County Attorney W 7. Eckstein

The Free Press said that the same
day that young Mecklenburg was
committed to the insane asylum, the
father of the young man, Daniel
Mecklenburg of Essig, secured the
release of his sou and furnished the
state bond for the proper custody
of he young man. The sureties on
the bord at that time were George
Hogan and W. P. Wiser of New Ulm.
According to the statement of Coun-
ty Attorney w. T. Eckstein, this bond
has expired. The county attorney

is mentally unbalanced.
The parents of the young man are
