PARIS. July 31.--The entry of Ger
many into the League of Nations and
reorganization of the council of the

subject of the conference between
former Premier BRAND and Foreign
Minister Vandervelde of Belgium yes

Both are said to have agreed that
Germany's entry cannot be longer de-

leagues council meeting September q.
The plan would include both the ad-
mission of Germany to the league and
a scheme for increasing the member
ship of the council, which it is hoped
might serve to bring back those mem
bers of the league who show a tend
ency to quit.
France and Belgium desire that the
council shall agree upon this programl

VATICAN DECLARES
SPLIT WITH MEXICO
Rome Holds Profession of
Catholicism Is Impossible
Under Present Conditions.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
ROME, July 31.-The Vatican has
formally reached the conclusion that
the recent action of the Mexican gov
ernment makes the profession OF
Catholic faith impossible in Mexico
after tomorrow. Thus an official breach
between the Holy See and Mexico is
declared, beginning at midnight to-
night. This creates a situation unpre
cedented in modern times, with the
Catholic population of Mexico in a
difficult and anomalous position, which
may become extremely dangerous un
less q compromise is reached.
The Vatican reached it's decision
mainly as result of two technical
elements in President Gales edicts
The first was the action of the MeXi
can government insisting that priests
must obtain government sanction be
fore offering worship. The second was
the new provision of the Mexican law
whereby priests are subordinated 10
a local committee of the laity under
government control.
In addition the Holy See received
word today of the decision of the Mex.
lean government to expel Mgr. Crespi
secretary of the apostolic delegation
In consequence of these Unacceptable
acts" and of the miserable persecu'
tions of Catholics in Mexico in re-
cent years." the Vatican feels that no
other course is open save to admit
that further profession OF Catholicism
in Mexico Is impossible.
The Vatican also takes occasion to
declare that the reports of a general
interdict in Mexico are the result OF
an inexact understanding of official
terminology." No general interdict SO
far has been ordered by the bishop
or approved by the Holy See, though
conditions similar to an interdict now
are in effect in certain districts on
account of the actions of the Mexican
government.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12. - The state
athletic commission today gave it's
unqualified approval to the Dempsey
Tunney heavyweight title battle and
ordered Promoter Tex Rickard to so
ahead with all arrangements to stage
the fight at the Yankee stadium on
September 16, in spite of the fact that
Dempsey has not vet received his Ii
cense and has no immediate prospect
of getting it.
While the commission was jamming
through this action in a snappy half
hour session, declaring, Dempsey in
good standing on all counts and re-
commencing that he be given his Of
ficial permit, the outer offices of the
boxing board were thrown into an up
roar by fiery tilt between the cham
pion and Paddy Mullins, gray-haired
manager of Harry Wills, that nearly
ended in the pair coming to blows.
Mullins, incensed by the refusal of the
commission to give him a further
hearing and the apparent shelving OF
his lingering hopes of matching his
big negro with the champion, set off
the spark of a long smouIdering feud
by spurning Dempsey's greeting as
they bumped into each other in n
crowd of newspaper men and other
onlookers.
Mullins accused Dempsey IF double
crossing" in his various dealings for
a match with Wills, then called the
champion a liar as the latter denied
sending telegram of reinsurance
from Los Angeles last March on arti-
cles signed with the Coliseum club of
In spite of his white hairs
and SO years, the squat-figured Null
Inns jumped to his feet, his face livid
with anger, as Dempsey turned away
with a remark that 'it's a good thing
you're too old.'
.T'm not too old to take you on!"
shouted Paddy, raising his fist. 1T
you won't fight my fighter, I'll lick
you"
Intervention by calmer spirits, in
GLIDING Gene Normille, one of Demp-
sey's business agents, prevented the
clash from going further, but Mullins
flung a final bombshelI when he
he had been offered and re-
fused $4,000 to withdraw the chal-
lenge of Wills for a title match now
on file with the commission.
81 won't reveal now VINO made that
offer, but I'll do SO at the proper time.
This whole thing has been frameup,
and I can prove it,"
The flare-up between Dempsey and
Mullins provided the most dramatic
event of the day, but caused scarcely
more sensation than new rift be-
tween the members of the athletic.
and the license committee,
thus upsetting prospects that the
champion would be granted his license
to fight Tunney.
Today's special session of the COM
