Washington, D. C.-The Washington

AS In the case Of the new rules to

against use of gas was adopted by the
five great powers as applicable among

rest of the world to join In the agree

That left on the armament waiting

RUSSIA INVITED TO /
ATTEND CONFERENCE
Step Is Regarded As Practl-
caIIy Being Recognition
of Soviet.

Cannes.-What is regarded by the
majority of the delegates here as
amounting to recognition Of the soviet
government of Russia was decided
upon by the allied supreme council
when the British proposal for an In
ternational, financial and economic
conference with the participation OF
Russia and Germany was approved un-
animously.

weeks of March has been set for the

An invitation to the United States
to participate has been extended
through the American ambassador to
Great Britain, George Harvey, who is
here as official observer for his gov
ernment.
Russia's participation in the Genoa
conference is conditioned upon accept
ance of number Of conditions; name
ly, that she cease bolshevik propagan-
da abroad. that she undertake not to
attack her neighbors and that she rec
ognize all the honorable obligations
entered into by preceding Russian gov
ernments.

that soviet Russia would be represent
ed at the Forthcoming economic con-
ference at Genoa. This information
was contained in q wireless dispatch
received by the supreme council be-
fore formal invitation to the soviet
government had actually been drawn
up and the speed with which the Rus
SLAMS have replied to the announce
ment that they were to be invited was
construed to mean that they are very
desirous Of joining the nations Oh
almost any terms acceptable to the
allies.

Truth and LIaht.

Nothing Is SO mistaken as the sup
position that person Is to extricate
himself from a difficulty by intrigue,
by ehlcanery, by discrimination, by
trimming, by an untruth. This in
creases the difficulties tenfold, and
those who pursue these methods get
themselves so involved at length that
they can turn no way but their infamy
becomes more exposed. 1t Is of great
Importance to set resolution, not to
be shaken, never to tell the untruth.
There Is no vice so mean, 80 pitlful,
10 contemplate; and he who permits
himself to tell lie once, finds 1t much
easier to do 1t second time. The
falsehood OF the tongue leads to that
of the heart. and in time deprayes all
its good disposition. Thomas Jeffer.

Bv HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, March 18.-lt is prob
able that only four of the seven pre-
liminary rounds of the Davis Cup tour
namcnt will be played this summer.
Following the draw made by the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
several nations face Il trip that makes
competition almost impossible.
The Belgium ustralia match looks
destined for a default as the Belgians,
facing one of the favorites i'll the
tournament, hardly would make such
trip and Australia would not want
to go to Belgium.
The Spain PHILIPPINES match also
hangs in the balance, but Spain prob
ably will come to the United States
to make it easier for the PHILIPPINES.
The Hawaii Czecho -Slovia match
hardly will be played as each would
have to make Il long trip with small
chance of getting by the second round.
Japan and Italy are also doubtful.
The japanese are one of the favOrites
this year and unless the Italians want
to make the journey to the United
States merely for the purpose of tax
ing beating, they will insist upon the
Japanese going to Europe.

WILLS BOUT WITH
DE MPSEY IS
READY FOR
BIDDERS
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, March lS.-After pass
ing through all the required motion Of
the necessary smoke-up' the Demp-
sey-Wills heavyweight championship
battle is ready for the bidders
The fight between the champion and
the '"brown panther of New Orleans
is a sure thing for the Fourth - or La
Dor day. The site is not as certain
but it probably will be New York or
New Jersey. AS an arena is already
standing in Jersey City. and since Gov
Edwards has let it be known out loud
that he will put nothing in the way
of the fight, Jersey City probably is
the place.
Making a heavyweight championship
in these days of million dollar gates
and half million dollar purses involves
a complicated process of building up.
Jack Kcarns, manager of the champion,
is the artist de luxe of this new bust
ness. He built up the Carpenter fight
which was worth almost a half million
to Dempsey and himself and he has
worked up the Wills thing, which will
pay almost as much, until it is ready
for presentation.
Dempsey never did draw the color
line. Dempsey never has drawn any
kind of line. Kearns allowed the story
to- circulate that the champion was
afraid of Wills and that he would
crawl out on the color alibi. Mean
while the colored man kept discreet
silence. He didn t make himself look
bad by running around challenging
Dempsey for fight. Rather he as
sumed the role of humble MARTYR. He
said he thought he could lick " Mr..
Dempsey, but he wouldn t ask him for
fight when the public didn t like
mixed bouts.
Having put the sounder out over the
country and having learned that Con
gress probably wouldn't be called in
special session to save the white
race if the match were made, Kearns
allowed himself and Paddy Mullins,
Wills manager, to be seen in public
and they let it be known that they were
ready to fight-if the public wanted it..
Apparently the public wants it but
some skopticsm had crept into print
about the ability of the colored fighter.

the ring with his robes and crown of

TRACK PREPARED

TOMORROW

SAN DIEGO, Calf, March IS
With a brisk wind blowing and sunny

A crew of men is working night and

colored man had no chance to show
his rea ability. He did show that he
is dangerous when he can hit in a
clinch or when he can wrap long
snake-lil1e left around an opponent s
neck and tear in with his right.
1t s one large size einch that he
never will do that to Dempsey. f he
gets in close to the champion he won t
have the chance to use the right. If
he tries any wrapping, he III get raped
to the floor.
There is no reason to believe that
Wills has chance against the cham
pion, but still he does seem to be
the best heavyweight under Dempsey
Regardless of his merits, however, the
fight will draw a monster crowd as
10000 turned out to see Carpenter
