The psychological effect on Wash

counter $50 miles away was far
greater than had been anticipated in
any quarters. OF course the excite
ment was not of the nature that at
tended the opening day Of a world

"I1l say"

There was a lot of chatter about

Dempsey does not win Gene will.
President Coolidge was the rank
ing "stay-at home" citizen in Wash
ington today. He did not indicate
whether he would or would not listen
in to the returns on the White
House radio set, and therefore the
extent of his interest in the bout was
matter of conjecture.
Probably the greatest exodus from
Washington was made and is being
made by railroad train. AT least 5O
extra cars have been pressed into
service to handle the known and an
ticipated crowds, and many parties
numbering as high as 80 or 100 each
had arranged special trains.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
estimated today that it's trains will
carry 1000 or more fight fans tc

EYES ON PREMIERSHIP.
BRAND Rumored as Seeking to Head
New Left Government

BY Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, September 23.-The French
internal political situation again is
becoming disturbed Despite efforts
at concealment it is known that seri-
ous divergences of opinion exist
within the national union govern
ment.
Foreign Minister BRAND, stalking
all on his foreign policy of Il Franco
German entente, is rumored to be at
tempting to prepare for his own re-
turn to power as premier at the head
of a Left government. NM. Barthou
and Marin, leaders of the Right, are
said to be countering by maneuvers
calculated to end in the formation of
a wholly conservative government.
Herriot Keeps Hands OF.
Edouard Herriot is taking no part
in these intrigues. but Is said to real

GERMAN BOND SALE
PROPOSAL DOOMED
Poincare's Plan to Pay Off
U. S. Debt Requires Sanction
of State Department.
BY EDGAR ANsEL MOWER.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
BERLIN, September 23.-~If Pre-
mier Poincare of France believes he
can utilize German railway and in
dustrial bonds to provide funds
whereby he will be enabled TO ratify
the Berenger debt agreement with
the United States, he is showing a
lamentable lack of financial under
standing, according to German
bankers and financial interests with
whom the correspondent has talked
The Germans welcome the Thiory
agreement as wonderful and une
hoped-for relief and give all credit
to Premier Poincare and Foreign
Minister BRAND for real conciiia-
tory. friendly spirit. But If, as re-
ported, Germany's consent is ex-
pected to an immediate marketing of
slice of German industrial bonds.
which means that world investors
would be asked to lend money to
creditor nations with German repay
mentS as security, the French are
liable to be deceived.
Price of Evacuation.
The Germans do not wish to n1aeket
any of their industrial bonds, because
they realize that their sale throughout
the world would be hindrance to any
revision of the German scale of pay
ments in the near future, but perhaps
i'm view of such desired compensation
as immediate evacuation of the Rhine
land, would consent. But the chief
difficulty is not Germany. but the
United States.
Suppose we were willing" said
prominent banker to the writer THE
French do not seem to realize GER
tain facts. First, the only adequate
market for such bonds is the United
States. Therefore, should the Amer
lean State Department be convinced
that immediate marketing was not de-
sirable In view of the French un-
willingness to ratify the debt agree
ment. it could easily make difficulties.
Second, the industrial bonds are
in reichsmarks and not In dollars.
Hitherto all foreign borrowers from
the United States have been com
PEELED to accept dollar obligations 1t
is improbable that the American mar
ket is yet ripe to accept a mark loan,
however well guaranteed.
Difficulty i'm Marketing
Third, marketing of per cent
bonds would have to be at a figure so
low that 1t is not likely other creditor
nations, without France, would be
willing to give their consent
I'm my opinion the difficulties will
, not come from us. The power resides
with the United States. The State
Department can have the last word
We Germans sincerely hope a
Franco-German agreement will be
possible on something like the Thiory
basis, without involving political and
technical difficulties. such as the
marketing of our Industrial bonds in
wolves. In any case it would take
considerable time to carry out such
a plan. and the present rumors are
largely founded on talk"

Acquisition Urged Now.

In that event 1t was urged that the
millions of dollars already apDro-
priated by Congress for the first two
years of the five-year period should
not be allowed TO lie idle, but be used
to acquire the sites now, and at the
same time serve as an expression OF
the Government intention, at the
earliest possible date. to build up the
triangle between Pennsylvania avenue
and The Mall.
1t is believed the owners of land
in this triangle will welcome prompt
action as the dead hand has been
held on their property for quarter
of n century retarding development
and Improvement by private capital.
1t is emphasized that 1t is decidedly
in the public interest that the prop
erty owners should meet the Govern
ment agents on friendly and Co
operative basis. as any other attitude
would delay indefinitely this improve
ment, which is the greatest under
taken in the Capital during Its entire
existence.
Another study is being made by
the Government architects in confer
ence with some of the leading archi-
tects of the country. regarding the
practicability of erecting such
structure as the Slo.000.000 home for
the Department of Commerce on the
site facing Fifteenth street between
PENNSYLVANIA avenue and e street,
with monumental frontage on the
Avenue cat-a- corner from the Treas.
ury. Assurance was given that IL
this site is used now for the Com
merce Building. the Labor Depart
ment Building would be placed be-
tween Seventh and Ninth streets and
the Justice Building between Ninth
and Tenth streets, or some other
Federal buildings will be placed in
this area now occupied by the Center
(retaiD and wholesale markets. This
makes it certain that the entire mar
ket area, within three to five years.
will be removed from the area be-
tween Pennsylvania avenue and th~
Mall.
Two Arguments Advanced
Two arguments were advancsd for
placing the Commerce Building on
the Avenue and Fifteenth street
tract, where IL would have a 1900
foot frontage on Fifteenth street.
1t is extremely desirable and urgent
that the Commerce Building be start
ed as soon as possible. The Govern
ment already owns this land so the
construction work could start just
as soon as plans are agreed upon. The
second argument, which is the basis
of the Fine Arts Commissions recon-
mendation of this site. is that the city
planners wish TO place a great Gov.
ernment department building on the
site at the earliest possible date, so as
to link together in that area about the

COURT CONFERENCE
0. KS CONDITIONS
Other Members Given Right
to Withdraw Approval
Later, However.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA. Switzerland. September
23.--The World Court Delegate Con
ference today adopted it's committee S
report concerning acceptance of the
American reservations to membership
in the Court and then adjourned.
The conference voted to give the
members of the Court the right, if
they saw fit later, TO withdraw their
approval of the American reserva-
ttons concerning adoption of amend
ments to the Court statutes and CON
corning the question of asking advis-
ory opinions of the Court
An animated discussion was nrecini-
tated in the conference when Sir Fran
els Bell of New Zealand moved the
suppression of those paragraphs in
the report of the committee of u, un-
der which members of the Court, by
tWo.thlrds vote. could withdraw
their acceptance of the America il
reservations
Opposed by France.
Sir Francis insisted that the United
States would not accept such q proyi
sion. and might resent 1t.
The discussion went over until
afternoon, after Sir Francis motion
had been vigorously opposed by NJ
tromageot of France. Sir Cecil Hurst
of Great Britain and Sir George Fos
ter of Canada, and had been supported
by Senor Zumeta of Venezuela. Senior
| Franco Franco of the Ditlinican Re
public and NJ. Negulesko of Rumania.
Sir Francis contended that the
United States had the undoubted right
to adhere to the court at any time,
and that this could not be abrogated.
Sir George Foster affirmed that ii
was only reasonable that. if the United
States were given the right to with
draw, the powers should have the priv
ilege of denouncing their approval of
the American reservations.
Veto Power Feared.
The Canadian statesman cited the
possible American vetoing of some
amendment to the Court statutes,
which might be earnestly desired by
the League of Nations, as a matter
which might influence members of the
League to withdraw their apnroval of
the American conditions.
In an endeavor to meet Sir Francis
Bells objection, Sir Cecil Hurst sug-
gested that, before denouncing the
American reservations. it should be
understood always that the members
of the court should meet In confer
ence.

was a virtual acceptance of all the

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

will of the ruling authorities now
found themselves subjected to Sc
we're oppression.
Building Stone Cities
Few people realize that until COM
paratively recent times the condition
of the great mass of people has been
that of slaves. In the ancient world
this was particularly true. The
great works of ancient time were
done by hordes of slaves who worked
under oppressive taslSmasters.
Here in our lesson we find the
Hebrews under this compulsion
building for a Pharaoh the store
cities of Pithom and Raamses. But
this oppressed people showed in spite
of their i'll treatment, that vigor
and productiveness. for which the
Jews have been proverbial in history.
Their numbers increased in such
proportions that the Egyptians were
further alarmed and sought to hold
them in restraint by giving to them
severer forms of service than ever.
Here came the real testing of Is
rael. Great prosperity and great adj
versity alike test the characters OF
men and the faith and institutions
that characterize their social life.
Here we begin the study of a theme
that symbolically has left It's mark
deeply upon the world.
The bondage and oppression of the
Hebrews in Egypt have become and
oppression everywhere, Just as
Moses has become the symbol OF
