JACK NEAR
NGSHAPE

NEW YORK, April 15.-Ostensibly
far from being the picturesque ruin
that long distance critics claim to
have seen, Jack Dempsey already has
trained himself to within five pounds
of his fighting weight, according to
word received here today direct from
the ex-champion at his Wheeler Hot
Springs camp in southern California.
He proclaimed his present weight to
be 201 pounds, said he was feeling
great" which Is answer No. . In the
customary Dempsey interview; and
declared that he believed his come.
back can be achieved without under
going the operation his physicians
deem to be necessary.
Dempsey. 1t seems, has ignored de
tense in his early preparations. 1t
has been all attack with him. and,
like the man who was born on Feb.
ruary %, he has done 1t with his
little Ratchet. Cherry is barred as a
bit effeminate or something, but
birdseye maple. mahogany and cir.
cassian walnut have fallen in great
profusion.
The boy friend. in brief. has heard
about the over-emphasis laid upon
woodchopping in this section. and,
being a young, ambitious fellow, is
willing to begin absolutely at the
beginning and see what good may
come Of 1t.
So far, nothing has been lost
by the experiment except q lot
OF California forestry and about
nine pounds OF Dempsey's weight.
According to his own story, his

wants il 70 be, and, IN the course
Of q few weeks, he will be ready
to begin intensive training.
The fact that Dempsey carried 50
little superfluous weight, compare
lively speaking, and was able to lose
1t SO readily, hardly supports the
contention that physically he Is the
old eye wash. Still, you can't laugh
off that series Of skin eruptions and
neither can he; at least, not until
he has shown that he Is able to
knock over something slightly more
agile than q tree. The latter Is q
good judge Of distance but its foot
work is terrible.
10 may be well, In fact, to
keep both the band W..gOn and

Dempsey was told i'm no uncer-
tain terms by his physicians .
few weeks ago that his condl.
ton then precIuded any pos
sibility Of successful return to
boxing. He was advised that an
operation was expedient II an Inn
perfect recovery from q previous
operation In 1928 was to be
corrected.
Being an examiner himself, he
naturally knew that this was the
bunk; so he told the medicos to turn
their attention to something i'm
portant while he went about the
fornality OF curing himself at
Wheeler Hot Springs.
His message today indicates that
he considers the cure to have been
effective, which leads me to wonder
whether Dempsey hasn't something
in common with surgeons who wire

tives:

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 27.- Using

At least so workers and several

and held by the police while others
are being rounded up.
The arrest of the Sacco and Van

by Robert Woods Bliss, the American

thought" the outrage was the work
of Sacco and Vanzetti sympathizers
The police have as yet been unable to
find any evidence which could lead
to the arrest of the bomber.
Many labor, progressive and fra
ternal organizations have been invad-

and headquarters have been closed and
meetings prohibited.
The only casualty to date is Manuel

reaching steps to link the United
States with Central and South Ameri-
can countries by a network of air
transport lines will be taken at the
Pan-American conference at Havana,
Cuba, which meets January 16 it was
learned today.
The first move, it is expected, win
be the lifting by this government of
the embargo on airplanes and air
equipment to Mexico Secretary Of
State Kellogg has under consideration
the recommendation by Rep. Edith
Nourse Rogers, (R) of Massachu-
sets, that this be done The entire
aviation industry of the United States
is behind the Recommendation.
Good WHIP Hokum.
1t was believed that the order rails
ing the embargo will be timed for the
opening of the Pan-American confer
ence.
Colonel Charles A. Lindberghs
flight to Mexico and his projected
good will' tour Of Central American
countries has resulted in strong sup
port for lifting the airplane ban.
Should the embargo be raised, Mex
leo is said to be ready to place orders
at once for American planes, both for
commercial and military purposes. Re-
ports from Mexico City state that the
Mexican government is prepared to
purchase at least one huge Ford
transport tri-motored plane at once.
1t was in such plane that Mrs. Lind
bergh made her flight to the Mexican
capital.
Aviation officials pointed out that
Lindbergh's flight to Mexico and his
Central American tour will result in a
boom for aviation in the countries
south of the border and that United
States industry is preparing to take
advantage of this stimulus.

Government and American oil and fl

ing Articles NV and XIV of the

The bill, if passed, will permit
American oil companies to acquire oil
land for more than fifty years and

ready weakened the oil land articles
considerably.

After describing the policy of inter-

in Central and South America, Sal

Council of the League Against Impe-

the Latin American struggle against

is making considerable progress in

The struggle of the PHILIPPINE Islands
for independence was brought before
the general council by Alminiano,
while Emir Shekio Arslan reported
for the Arabian National Committee
on the Syrian struggle for independ-

over 4 MILLION
CHINA PEASANTS
IN famine. Grip
Report Blames Raids
by Chang, Tso-lin

PEKING, China, Dec. 27.-More
than four million poor peasants are
in the grip of hunger in north China
as the result of famine and the heavy
taxation levied by northern officials,
according to the report of competent
foreign observers made at the request
of the Chinese International Famine
Relief Commission for more exact in
formation.
Altho the Chinese committee which
is dominated by adherents of Chang
Tso-lin, blamed the drought and
locusts for the famine, the interna-
tional committee charged that "ban-
ditfy and exorbitant taxation" were
equally to blame.
Live on Grass.
Thousands of peasants in Chilli
and Shantung, are kept alive by the
bark of trees and grass. The APP
proach of winter, the observers state,
will result in the death of thousands
of peasants.
The confiscation of crops by the
soldiers of Chang Tso-lin and his
allies is one of the principal reasons
for the poverty of the peasants, one
OF the observers intimated. The new
famine wave will be as intense and as
disastrous as that of 1921, it was also
stated.
