TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1D21
TREATY IH SECRET
Report Again Current That
America WilL Be Invited.
DISCUSSION IS EXPECTED
Newspapers Protest Against Lack
of Publicity Given to Con
ference on Japan.
LOXDOX, July 1. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) All overseas premiers
of the British dominions again gave
their views on the subject of renew
ing the Anglo-Japanese alliance in
the course of two sessions of the
imperial conference today.
Utmost secrecy still surrounds the
proceedings of the assembly. No of
ficial communique was Issued. It is
understood, however, that debate on
the treaty i was again adjourned to
enable Lord Curzon, the foreign min
ister, to communicate with the am
bassadors of the nations concerned.
Reports that the imperial confer
ence is considering a tripartite agree
ment between the United States,
Great Britain and Japan relative to
the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty were prominently displayed by
the morning newspapers of today. By
such an agreement, it was declared,
a virtual triple entente for the Pa
cific would be established, and the
operation of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty would be confined to the Pa
cific. DiiHrauioiii Are Expected.
Discussions between representa
tives of "the three nations, as well
8s those of the British dominions, are
foreshadowed.
Protest against the aecrecy sur
rounding the dominions' conference
"was voiced today by the London
Times, which said:
No camarilla of reactionaries plot
ting darkly against the liberties of
the people has guarded the secrecy
of its proceedings more jealously
than the convinced disciples of 'open
diplomacy' and democratic rights,
now assembled in Downing street."
Publicity Is Demanded.
The paper declared that the views
which have been expressed by the
premiers in favor of an international
conference on pacific questions and
disarmament "should be proclaimed
from the housetops."
Premier Smuts of South Africa
Acted as peacemaker and suggested
a. conference of the Pacific powers
for this purpose and said that also
In order-to give the premiers time
to consult their cabinets and probably
their parliaments, ; that Japan has
been asked to extend the alliance
three months.
The London Times, dealing with
the imperial conference In an edi
torial today, argued that the opinion
of Lord Birkenhead, the lord high
chancellor, that the Anglo-Japanese
treaty automatically would continue
unless it is formally denounced, al
tered the whole angle of the pre
mier's approaches to one of the
largest international problems. The
newspaper said that Lord Birkenhead
pointed out that the treaty itself pro
vides that unless it is denounced by
Great Britain or Japan it will remain
in force until one or the other party
does denounce it, and will even then
continue for a year after denuncia
tion. Publication Hrld Helpful.
"No harm could be done by the
publication of Lord Birkenhead's dis
covery," said the Times, "and the
sooner all British peoples have the
benefit of It. the better. The puzzle
is why the foreign office failed to
make the discovery long ago.
"It would seem, indeed, that, had
the dominions been frankly informed
of this simple legal position before
the departure of their premiers, a
vast amount of misunderstanding,
unnecessary speculation and con
troversy might have been spared to
the press, public and politicians of
the whole world.
"In a year's time all the Pacific
problems hinging on the treaty ques
tion may be viewed from a totally
different standpoint, since it is hoped
and is probable that the powers con
cerned will have adjusted many of
the positions which now seem, if not
reconcilable, at least difficult and po
tentially dangerous."
FIGHT OUTCOME AWAITED

pentier's courage or sameness. This
lie has demonstrated both In the ring
and on the battlefield. In ring
strategy and ekill he also stands
liigh, and, should he elect to box a
etand-off contest, taking full ad
vantage of his speedy footwork and
clever boxing, Dempsey will find a
far different opponent to cope with
than was the case when he faced
VIUard. Pulton and Brennan.
The champion also has his special
points of recommendation, from a
ring standpoint. Dempsey is a ter
rific hitter with either hand and from
any angle. He does not need to draw
bck his arm to shoot a blow. In
etead he starts his punches from al
most any point of the are of attack,
and. although the fist travels but a
few inches, so great is the power of
co-ordinated muscles and weight of
. body that the result is appalling.
Crouch Dempsey Asset.
"Willard was changed from a tow
ering giant into a groveling, helpless
piece of humanity by two blows de
livered within a period of two sec
onds. The first, a right to the body,
crumpled htm up, and the second a
left to the jaw, knocked from bis
head all thoughts of fight. Had he
been any other than a superman,
physically, he never would have
arisen from the initial knockdown.
Another Dempsey asset is his pe
culiar crouching form of attack with
Its puzzling weaving in and out o(
the head and body, making a diffi
cult target to hit squarely. He has
also shown ability to take hard blows
ai:d respond within a fraction of a
econd with a still more crushing
counter without the slightest evi
dence of injury or loss of speed. Oc
casionally Dempsey abandons his
crouching form of boxing and elects
to stand erect. Under these con
ditions, It has been proved that he is
r.ot a hard man upon whom to land
blows with full power. Even under
these conditions, however, Dempsey
has not. within recent years, shown
f isns of faltering under such bom
bardment. Dempsry's Wriirht Advantage.
It may be said that Carpentier is
the better and faster boxer both with
rlove and afoot, while Dempsey re
verts to some extent to the older type
of fighter, always wining to take a
blow in order to land one.
If it should prove that tomorrow'
encounter is contested along these
lines, Dempsey will have the advan
tage of at least 20 extra pounds of
weight behind his blows. While the
gloves weigh eight ounces, as re
quired under the New Jersey boxing
law, it is not thought that this will
take much of the power out of the
drives.
Another advantage in Dempsey'a
favor will be the fact that the bout
will be fought in an 18-foot ring,
thereby limiting to some extent the
area available for Carpentier's flash
ing footwork. Apparently the size
of the ring has not In any way af
fected the confidence of the French
man, who has stated that be ex
pects to win by 'a knockout.
Decision Allowed.
It is only by a knockout or a foul
that the heavyweight championship
can change hands, as under the New
Jersey state boxing laws all bouts
are limited to 12 rounds without offi
cial decision. While J. Harry Ertie
will be the third man in the ring,
his sole duties will be to see that
the principals and their seconds
observe the regulations of the boxing
code. In case of a knockdown or
knockout, he will count over the
fallen boxer until the expiration of
approximately ten seconds. Should
either man deliberately strike a foul
blow or one of his seconds enter the
ring during the progress of a round,
it will be within Ertle's province to
declare the unoffending boxer a
winner. Should the bout go the full
12 rounds, there cannot be an offi
cial winner.
Any decision which may be given
as to the respective merits of the
principals by newspaper writers,
boxing experts or officials connected
in any capacity with the contest will
be purely personal opinions and with
out official weight.
DEATH IS DIRECTED
COXDEMXED ARMY OFFICER
ORDERS SQUAD TO FIRE.
Dramatic Incident of AVar Revealed
in Investigation of Sentence
of French Lieutenats.
PARIS. July 1. By the Associated
Press.) The demand of Deputy Berth
on of the Seine department that he
be permitted to interpellate the cabi
net on measures to be taken against
General Boyer for having two second
lieutenants, Herduin and Mlllot, sum
marily shot during the battle of Ver
dun, has brought out one of the most
dramatic incidents of the war.
General Boyer is accused of having
unduly, without trial, ordered the ex
ecution of the two officers, who Dep
uty Berthon asserted, were not guilty.
The circumstances have revealed
that the lieutenants, who were com
manding sections during a critical
period of the battle for Fleury,
brought back their men without or
ders and were found 48 hours later
in the citadel of Verdun with some
of their men. An investigation showed,
according to the Echo de Paris, that
the section commanded by these men
retired in such a way as to uncover
and endanger the whole line. General
Boyer thereupon ordered the lieu
tenants shot without further pro
cedure. Lieutenant Herduin, who was per
mitted to give the command to fire
to the squad which executed him, de
clared: "Soldiers: Tou are going to shoot
me, but I am not a coward and
neither is my comrade. We! however,
abandoned a position In which we
should have remained to the bitter
end. If you ever find yourself in the
same situation hold out until the
death. Don't abandon your posts. Now
aim straight ror the heart. Take
aim. Fire!"
All the facts, with Lieutenant Her
duin's talk to the soldiers, were re
ported by General Boyer to his su
periors, who approved the death order.

SAX FRANCISCO. July 1. A re

more, he said.

cess and said they were -not con
cerned with the collection of the
fund.
STRIKERS ARE INVITED BACK

NEW YORK, July 1. The Interna

HONOLULU, T. H., June 22. (Spe

so far as retail figures go, because
local merchants stocked up at the
high prices and want to get rid of
their stock, if not at a profit, at least
without a loss. Styles exhibited in
most of the stores are somewhat anti

buyer takes old stock.
Rents have gone up more than ever
due to the influx of navy officers and
the summer tourists. For cottages
that would draw about 320 a month on
