SIGN PACT FOR .
RH|NELAND COSTS
AMERICAN ARMY

Paris. May 25 (By A. P.)-The
agreement between the United
States government and the allied
powers providing for the repayment
Of the costs of the American army
in the Rhineland was signed today
gates during which certain altera-
tons were made in the text as pre-
viously drawn up.
The agreement, which has taken
three months to negotiate, does not
include the clause to which the
United States delegate, Eliot Wads-
worth, objected, namely, that pro-
viding that the allies should have
the right to abrogate the agreement
in case. the United States sought to
recover war damages direct from
Germany. The agreement as signed
may be summarized as follows:
The net cost of the army of &C.
cupation, about $25O,0O0, 900, is to be
paid in II equal annual installmentS
without interest, the first of which
shall be due on or before December
81, 1928.
For the first four years the annual
installments due the United States
shall constitute first charge upon all
payments in cash made each year
by Germany or for the reparation
account of Germany up to- 25 per
cent Of such payments. AS the re-
paration account is credited with
German payments only after the al
lied army costs are reimbursed and
other treaty expenses met during
each of the first four years the cur
% f1,0 oil iNI of
cupation shall have priority over the
annual inStallmentS due the United
States.
For the last eight years the in
stallmcnts due the United States
shall constitute first charge upon all
cash payments made by Germany
on account of Preparations up to their
full amount and shall have priority
over the current costs of the allied
armies of occupation.
1t should be understood that the
priority granted the United States
does not bear upon payments in
kind. upon the proceeds of acts of
recovery or upon transfers and ceS-
sions of property. rights and inter-
ests made in execution OF the treaty
of Versailles, unless such transfers
are converted through sales into
cash. However, the allleS agree 10
apply all such payments In kind,
etcetera, to their current army costs
so that. unless the value Of these
payments is insufficient to meet such
costs, all actual cash payments from
Germany will be available for the
instruments due the United States.
The agreement provides that. If at
any time the arrears due the United
States reach total such that the
United States considers there is a
risk of its not being paid within the
prescribed period, the American
government has the right to abro-
gate the agreement. provided that,
within three months after notifica-
ton of such a view, the agreement
has not been modified in such a way
that complete liquidation appears
assured.

Several times during the contest,
the Celtics exhibited the lightning
passing for which the wearers of the
Shamrock are known, and three of
their six baskets were of the spec
tacular type. The Speedways looked
better than ever last night, that is,
the individual play was lacking.
Close guarding featured the start
of the fray, Pete Rizzola making the

contest at the National Sport Club
in this city next Friday night, scored
a notable win before tho fans of the
Uptown Lenox Club in New York on

In Monday nights contest, Leon
ard was awarded the judges deci-
sion over Danny Lee, one of the
leading contenders for a crack at

suit of this victory, Leonard is being
groomed by New York matehmakers

bout.
Leonard has defeated Sammy Ma
BILE, frankie Genaro and other stars
of the flyweight and bantamweight
divisions and in Murphy he will en-
counter another of the best bets in
the bantamweight division. One of
Murphy's latest victories was scored
at the expense of Pal Moore, South
