The fourth set was a hard battle that went to the Frenchmen in 5-7, but the American team rallied and finished the match by taking the last set by 6-4. Miss Wills and Mrs. Wightman took two sets from Miss McKane and Mrs. Covell, of Great Britain, in a hard-fought match, the sets going to 7-5 and 8-6.

A huge crowd is expected to line the road for the entire course. They will pass through Calais, Boulogne, Abbeville, Beauvais and Roissy before arriving in Paris. Among the leaders are Frantz, Buysse, Aymon, Beekman, Muller and Lancourt.

regarding possible German defaults and resulting sanctions which is to be submitted for the final approval of the full Conference. That this approval is certain is not doubted. The text of the protocol is not given out officially, but it is learned tonight in authoritative circles that it constitutes an elaboration on the French compromise proposal designed to smooth over the difficulties on this point between the French and the British. Under the amending power conferred by Paragraph 22, Annex II, Part VIII of the Treaty of Versailles on the powers represented on the Reparations Commission, Annex II is to

In brief, this text provides that when the Commission is called upon to record a default by Germany on her obligations under the Treaty or under the Experts' Plan, and so long as the United States shall not be represented officially on the Commission, an American citizen of unofficial status shall take part in the Commission’s deliberations and shall have a vote. This American citizen shall be named by a unanimous vote of the Reparations Commission within thirty
by a unanimous vote of the Reparations Commission within thirty days after the adoption of the protocol by the present Conference. Failing such unanimous naming, he shall be selected by the Chief Justice of the Permanent International Court at The Hague. The nomination shall be for five years and shall be renewable. Any successor shall be named by the same method. If the United States eventually appoints an official delegate on the Reparations Commission, then the powers given the unofficial representative shall come to an end for so long as the official delegate shall sit. German Demands to Conference. When
the official delegate shall sit. German Demands to Conference. When a German delegation member proposed to address the conference on behalf of the German government, he was greeted with shouts of "Impricale", "Prisoner", and "War criminal". Roman default is declared by the Commission, the Governments concerned shall confer at once on the nature of the steps to be taken. The steps, or “sanctions,” shall take account of the interests of the nations which have to receive reparation as well as of the interests of the private subscribers to the projected international loan. Sanctions taken upon a German default shall be

The service of this loan shall enjoy a prior claim upon German resources generally. If the special security turns out to be insufficient, and upon the resources eventually to come from the execution of the Plan. Sanctions taken after a default declared by the Reparation Commission shall be taken after consultation with the Agent for Payments and with a representative of the subscribers to the loan. Rights to Be Intact. Except
the subscribers to the loan. Rights to Be Intact. Except in so far as they are modified by the foregoing, the rights and powers now held by the Powers signatory to the Treaty of Versailles, as well as the rights and powers conferred by the Experts’ Plan, shall remain intact. In the new atmosphere of hope in conference circles tonight, it is expected that the other two Committees will meet in plenary session tomorrow and that they likewise will succeed in agreeing upon their report. At this rate, the full Conference will be assembled again on Monday and that the
Conference will be assembled again on Monday and that the Germans will be called in on Tuesday to hear its decisions. No doubt is felt that the Germans will accept immediately, probably without discussion. NEW CATHEDRAL IS GIVEN CONSECRATION — (Paris Times Spécial) LIVERPOOL, Saturday. — King George and Queen Mary, were present today to dedicate the new Liverpool Cathedral, second only in size to St. Peter’s at Rome and the Cathedral of Seville. The King’s address was heard by thousands. The new Cathedral, which has a site of seventy-two acres, is interesting not only for its striking architecture but
acres, is interesting not only for its striking architecture but also for the fact that the architect, Mr. Gilbert Scott, designed it when he was only twenty-two. Liverpool streets were gaily decorated for the arrival of the King and Queen and thousands of citizens timed their movements around the scene of the consecration ceremonies. Addresses were delivered by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool and by the Archbishop of York. King Edward VII laid the foundation stone of the new cathedral twenty years ago.

Keen interest displayed in London over the first meeting of the two Statesmen. (London Times Spécial) LONDON, Saturday.—Keen interest has been aroused here by the news that Mr. Charles Evans Hughes, the American Secretary of State, who will have lunch tomorrow with Mr. Ramsay MacDonald at Chequers, the home of the American Ambassador in London. Mr. Hughes arrived in London shortly after noon today. Although Mr. MacDonald had intended to rest over the weekend, after a heavy week following his tiring trip to Paris, he accepted immediately when Mr. Hughes’ invitation reached him. It is not stated whether Secretary of
invitation reached him. It is not stated whether Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, also in London at present, will be present at the lunch, but it is assumed here that he will. Both deny mission. No credence is given to Mr. Hughes’ and Mr. Mellon’s representative statements that they are here on purely private business and in no way as delegates to the Conference. London experts anticipate important developments after the talk the three statesmen will have tomorrow. Immediately upon arriving at Southampton on board the Berengaria this morning, Secretary Hughes threw American influence again into the scale on the
Hughes threw American influence again into the scale on the side of acceptance of the Dawes Plan. He headed a delegation of 850 members of the American Bar, on their way like him to the annual convention of the Bar Association in London. Still insisting that he is in Europe as a private citizen, Mr. Hughes issued a statement to which great importance is attached here. Offers Solid Basis, The American people and the American Government are much interested in seeing the Dawes Plan put into effect,” he said, “They regard it as offering a sound basis for the economic
regard it as offering a sound basis for the economic recovery of Europe. They assure that American sentiment is behind it, and that it believes that upon it depends the future peace of the world. I am not here on a political mission. I am here as a lawyer with my professional lawyers. I do not wish to embark on any political observations. It is quite as it is, however, to get into personal touch with those persons with whom otherwise one has only official contact.” He said he had no appointment with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, nor with
no appointment with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, nor with Chancellor, but that he undoubtedly would see him. Weather Holds Up British Airman TOKYO, Saturday.—Squadron Leader MacLaren, Great Britain’s air racer around the globe, is held up in the Kurile Islands by bad weather. He has decided to wait until the atmosphere clears before attempting his next perilous jump across the Northern Pacific to the Aleutians. Slight damage to his motor has also made necessary some repairs. These are being effected in the bay on Ominato Island where he was forced after having been missing for two days. BOY KILLS

Jacobs, of Brockton, Mass., a freshman at the University of Maine, recently killed a 250-pound bear in the woods, ten miles north of Orono. The bear was caught by one paw in a steel trap. 200,000-FRANK FIRE CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE EXTRUST OF 200,000FRANK BROCKTON, Mass.—A fire, causing damage to the extrust of 200,000FRANK, broke out yesterday in a tool factory at St.-Germain-sur-Morin.

on the programme of the Olympic Games of 1924 but with the end of the week the principal portion of them has been concluded. Preparations for the next Games, four years hence in Amsterdam; soon will get under way. The occasion is appropriate for the suggestion that the Games be extended to include an international air face in which teams and planes from the countries of the world may enter on a footing of general equality. The international organization of the Olympic Games lends itself well to the carrying out of such a project, which might include the flying of
of such a project, which might include the flying of fast military planes. The essence of such a new competition should, however, be races between planes flown by skilled amateurs. There are numbers of them in every country where flying is done on a large scale. Air racing needs, nonetheless, to be necessarily disprofessionalized as automobile racing, which has done much to develop the automobile and render it popular. Air racing is more closely related to yacht racing and amateur sports, which no doubt would take to it readily. The race is the form of contest which has persisted in
race is the form of contest which has persisted in the Olympic Games since they were founded many centuries ago and during their modern renaissance. Minor Olympic sports, unknown to the ancient Greeks, include races on skates, and this summer there will even be horse racing. World competition in races in the air should appeal to the man of today, who seeks incessantly for new methods of antagonizing time and distance. Using only his own legs, he gets over the ground at a maximum speed of only a little less than ten seconds for 100 yards. On a good horse
than ten seconds for 100 yards. On a good horse he can travel a mile in less than two minutes and in an automobile in one-fourth of that time. But when he leaves the ground his meteor-like track is covered at the rate of more than four miles in a minute and he crosses continents between sun and moon. THE RISING IN BRAZIL; Conflicting reports come over the cables regarding the progress of the rising in Brazil but even though censorship has been restored to by the Government, there is little reason to believe that the trouble is more than
little reason to believe that the trouble is more than local. Disturbances in distant countries, especially when they are in Latin America, are only too apt to be wrongly styled "revolutions." Brazil, moreover, is a stable State unlike some of the Central American Republics where political campaigns are waged with the bullet more often than with the ballot. Sao Paulo, where the trouble seems to be centered, is one of the wealthiest and healthiest regions in the country. Economic provocation to an attempt to overthrow the central authority is lacking. Sao Paulo is the principal growing area for Brazil’s important
Sao Paulo is the principal growing area for Brazil’s important output of coffee and it numbers among its population many natives of Italy, Germany, Portugal, and other European countries. It is true that the economic situation of the coffee growers of Sao Paulo, the most important section of its people in this way of trade, has not been satisfactory to themselves for the last two years. Yet every effort, and with much success, has been made by the Government to improve matters by restricting the movement and sale of coffee. These economic difficulties have had their effect throughout the country
These economic difficulties have had their effect throughout the country in somewhat unsettled political conditions. It is more than likely that the present outbreak, apparently confined to numerous soldiers, is merely another flareup of political violence of the sort that was once common in South America and which Germany has known recently under the name of “Putsch.” American Comment. “With Calm Poise, and Charlie for Horse, in Part Republics Settle Dating.” — Editor (New York Times).

It is a medal to symbolize the reward of merit. There is no question about it, this most recent of Papal decrees marks a victory not so much for feminism as for femininity. The traditional attitude of the Papacy towards women has been: "Cover yourself completely." Now this attitude has been modified. Women are still asked to cover themselves, but attractively. The Times, using the relations between Canada and the Empire in connection with the London Conference, says: "If representation is to be accepted as a basis at all, then the most logical consequence of the doctrine of nationality would
the most logical consequence of the doctrine of nationality would be the periodic retirement from the Conference of Mr. MacDonald himself and of the other delegates (drawn from the Mother Church)." French Comment: "The great difficulty at the London Conference," in the view of the banker, "is not the billions Germany is to pay nor the powers of the Separation Commission; nor any other question of detail; but in the spirit that animates Mr. MacDonald and his followers. They do not believe in any danger from Germany, and they are not far from believing in a danger from France. France
not far from believing in a danger from France. France annoys them. She is too glorious to suit them. On the morrow of the War she rose too quickly from her wounds. France, with Germany, is the only real military power in the World. This constitutes, according to some in Great Britain, a dangerous neighbor!" Like the United States, Great Britain has just announced that she cannot adhere to the Pact of Mutual Assistance proposed by the League of Nations. This causes the Temps to remind its readers that the Other initiatives of the League tending to a reduction of
Other initiatives of the League tending to a reduction of naval armaments met with a lifeless reception in London. "In reply to a third initiative by the League, Britain alleges a fear of being compelled to increase her Navy. There is obviously a certain discrepancy between these successive attitudes. It is difficult to see how a Treaty of Mutual Assistance, intended to prevent war, could compel England to increase her fleet, unless the British Admiralty considers itself bound to take extra precautions against the Continental nations which no longer spend so much money in arriving against each other." The same
so much money in arriving against each other." The same happening brings comment in a like vein from the Journal des Débats, under the signature of M. Auguste Gauvin. "Nothing is more typical than this attitude of the British Government," he writes. "It has sent the other nations to the League each time that it wished to bind them to something. It shows the League to one side each time it fears to be bound itself. Its reply to Germany goes over arguments that have been refuted a hundred times before. The only real reason, the deciding one for it,
before. The only real reason, the deciding one for it, is that the Pact would bind it to something and it does not wish to be bound. The gist of the reply to the League is that the British Government today repudiates any obligation of assistance and reserves its entire freedom of action. Here we have a remarkable example and lesson at the moment when the London Conference is meeting." German Comment: The Nationalist Tageblatt declares that M. Poincaré will heed M. Herriot's call and that The Government will not surrender its position, having the fear of Paris before it.
surrender its position, having the fear of Paris before it. It expects a sham compromise, which will be dished up as an embodiment of the Dawes Plan. The other Nationalist Organs season their criticism with veiled threats against the Government and rumors of a coming Cabinet crisis. The Lokal Anzeiger finds that the appointment of an American member on the Reparations Commission is a French victory, after having previously described it as an imminent French defeat. The Kölnische Zeitung argues that the Dawes Plan is outside the Treaty of Versailles, and that it calls for the creation of an entirely
