RENEWALS ARE CITED Negotiations Looking to Another Agreement Are Declared Xot Yet Inaugurated. WASHINGTON, D. C July 3. Baron Shidehafa, the Japanese am bassador, in a formal statement to day discussing the Anglo-Japanese alliance, declared that "by no stretch of the imagination can it honestly be stated that the alliance was ever designed or remotely intended as an instrument of hostility or even de fense against the United States." "Negotiations looking to the re newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance have not yet begun," said the state ment. "In the meantime a campaign seems to be actively at work mis representing the possible effect of the alliance upon the United States." "The Anglo-Japanese alliance in its history of nearly 20 years has twice been renewed. Peace in Far East Is Aim. "In each case, the fundamental policy underlying it has remained unchanged. Its aims permanently to preserve and to consolidate the gen eral peace of the far east. The orig inal agreement of 1902, in line with that policy, was calculated to local ize any war which might be forced upon either contracting party in de fense of its defined interests or vital security. "It was made when China was under menace of foreign aggression, and the United States showing the utmost friendliness toward both par ties tothe alliance, viewed the com pact with sympathy and approval. "In 1905, when the alliance was renewed and revised to meet the changed conditions that followed the Russo-Japanese war, no thought oc curred to the statesmen of either country that the United States might possibly become a potential enemy of either, and for that reason, and that alone, no provision was inserted taking so remote a contingency into consideration. "The alliance was again revised in 1911 and article IV of that agree ment contains the following provi sion: " 'Should either high contracting (Concluded on Page 2. Column 3.) Commander-in-Chief of Allied Armies Reviews Accomplish ments in Battle. PARIS, July 3. (By the Associated Press.) Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France, coramander-in-ohief of the allied armies, sent today through the Associated Press a message to the American nation on the occasion of the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The message was a tribute to the American army.'paid by the man who led to victory the allied forces with whioh that army fought, and to the people of the United States. The message read: "In celebrating America's "Inde pendence day in union with the United States, France does not only commemorate the heroic days when Lafayette with the best of her sons brought help to the noble cause of the liberty and independence of the United States, but she commemorates also the days more recent and not less heroic, when the American na tion stood up fully bent upon the de fense of another great and noble cause; the liberty of the world. "Today before the world, on this great anniversary, is for him who had the terrible responsibility of leading into battle the six million soldiers to him committed by the allied and associated governments, one more opportunity, which he eagerly embraces, to pay homage to the American army, to its chiefs, to its soldiers. "What was the American share in the strife for victory? Two sets of figures will . give its measure. In April, 1917, when the United States declared war upon Germany, the American army had 9500 officers and 350.000 men. Eighteen months later, at the time of the armistice, she had more than 180,000 officers and 3,500, 000 men. "A prodigious effort of an entire nation before which the enemy re mained astounded, and which foiled all' his plans. "March 21, 1918, when the Germans are hurling themselves on the British front, the American army - has in France only 300,000 men, their ar rivals monthly being about 30,000 men. "In the presence of the important attacks of the enemy, it is vitally necessary to quicken and. intensify these arrivals. "On April 25, General Foch asks Generals . Bliss and. Pershing, who were present at his headquarters at Sarcus (northwest of Beauvais) in order to guard against the crisis of the effective forces which began to be grievously felt by the Franco British armies, that infantry and ma chine gun units may be transported to France, to the exclusion of any others during the next three months. "The 7th of May the matter is put before the superior war council at Abbeville and he lack of American tonnage being the only obstacle, it is decided that the British government shall furnish the necessary ships to transport from the United States 130, 000 men in May and 160,000 men in (Concluded on Page ft.

DESTROYERS REACH HARBOR Suburban Districts Prepare for Athletic Stunts. COUNTRY CALLS THRONGS Many Residents of Nearby Towns Come to City to Spend Sare and Sane Fourth. The promise of continued fair weather, with the sun on the Job early yesterday and hard at it throughout the day, drew the pleas ure seekers, week-enders and holiday crowds into a general exodus from the city toward the highways, hills, mountains, river banks and beaches. Another flood, although not as heavy, swept into the city Saturday night and all day yesterday from nearby towns and the country to pass a safe and sane Fourth. Persona living along the highways reported steady streams of automo biles headed for recreation resorts and camping places, toward other cities in ai; directions from Portland, and many machines coming toward Portland. Saturday night and Sun day the railroads and electric lines hauled capacity loads on regular and special excursion trains. The crowds headed toward the ocean were so large that two and three extra cars were placed on trains operating on the regular schedule. Nature's Lure. Causes Exodus. From ah appearances many more people left Portland than came here to spend the holidays, as the number of automobiles and rail excursionists indicated. The call of the mountains and the water, with the opportunity to evade the humdrum for two days and the chance to visit friends in country homes, was answered by ev eryone who had the time, a vehicle or the means of transportation. Agitation for a patriotic Fourth of July celebration in Portland was late in being launched and for that rea son the parade and programme planned may not be as healthy or as well attended as might have been. but for those who must remain In the city a wide variety of entertainment is available, including the municipal parade, programmes by a large num ber of fraternal and other organiza tions, public parks and playgrounds, theaters and amusement resorts. Tardiness in starting the arrange ments may hamper the municipal pa rade and outdoor programme to take place in the park blocks. A request for a platoon of Portland policemen came too late, to be granted and the same condition prevailed with the national guard and Grand Army of the Republic Some effort has been made, however, by all three to com ply with the request as far as pos sible. Sailors to March In Parade. Three destroyers entered the har bor late Saturday night and the sailors will march in the parade, ac- cording to an announcement made by L. D. Mahone. in charge of the me morial ceremonies. The destroyers are the Aaron Ward, Bruce and Zeilin. They will remain at anchor in the Willamette about ten days, it was said. The parade will be headed by a platoon of motorcycle police, who will start north on Fourth street from the corner of Salmon. The na tional guard, under the command of Major J. F. Drake, will be next in lice. Major Drake was not optimistic about the turnout of his men because a great many, both officers and sol diers, . have been at the American Legion convention at Eugene and could not be notified to report. As many as are available will be In line, he said. Sailors from the destroyers will fall into line behind the soldiers be tween Salmon and Main streets, and next will come the Grand Army of the Republic, whose point of assem bly is in front of the courthouse. After them will be the Spanish American war veterans with the auxiliary and women's relief corps. Other organizations who send volun teer delegations to march and" unor ganized citizens will line up at Fourth and Main streets. Route of March Given. The parade route, with the police leading, is north from Salmon and Fourth streets to Morrison street, west on Morrison to Sixth, north on Sixth to Ankeny, west to Broadway, south, on Broadway to' Jefferson and west on Jefferson to West Park street.

Government Proceeds to Total More Than $400,000, Rev enue Officials Estimate. NEW YORK, July 3. Tex Rickard figured that his net profit from the Dempsey-Carpentier fight yesterday would be in the neighborhood of 3550,000. He said that expenses of all kinds would approximate 3950.000 and taxes on his share $100,000, while the gross gate receipts were expected to ex ceed $1,600,000. It is figured that Dempsey earned in the neighborhood of 329,000 a min ute for his ten minutes and 16 sec onds or actual fighting. Carpenter's profits as the loser in the contest were approximately $19,400 a minute. Government proceeds from the bout will total more than 3400,000, revenue officials estimate. The income tax will take about 3160.000 of the 3300. 000 earned by Dempsey and 377.000 of Carpentler"s share. Federal reve nue from the sale of tickets will amount to about 3160,000. Ticket sellers who resold the paste boards are to be taxed 60 per cent of their profits by the government. The state of New Jersey, under pro visions of the boxing law, also col lects 10 per cent of the gate receipts. Carpentier must pay his entire tax ':o the United States before sailing and he is likely to face another stringent income tax on arrival in France. By actual count there were 823 re-' porters and telegraphers in the two press sections of the arena. More than 100 wires. Including telegraph, cable and telephone, were used to carry the news to the world.. It is estimated that the number of words filed about Ihe fight, either in Jersey City or New York, during the 16 hours be tween 8 A. M. and midnight of July 2, ran close to a million. "Dempsey won in the fourth round." according to schedule, Teddy Hayes, his trainer, declared tonight. "We counted all along In a knockout in the fourth. We knew that Dempsey was too strong and heavy for Car pentier. yet we did not want him to rush the issue or take any, chances. "You know that many a champion who took chances and got careless was whipped by a much inferior boxer. Carpentier proved no better and no worse than we had expected. We knew that he was game and had a fairly hard right; we did not fear his speed or his cleverness. We ex pected the Frenchman to go right out and fight from the bell, because his only chance was to rush Dempsey and put over his right. "The talk that Carpentier had Dempsey wobbly is pure nonsense. That punch which Carpentier. landed in the' second was the one which really beat him. "It was another fight between a good big man and a good little man, and, as always, the big man won."

BROKEN BONE IN HAND SET Only Other Mark of Conse quence Cut Under Eye, FIGHT COMMENT PLEASING Frenchman Delighted Witt Favor able Mention High Praise Is Accorded Dempsey, MANHASSET, N. J., July J. (By, the Associated Press.) Georges Car- pentier will not retire from the ring. He will fight any man in the world except the champion, who. he admits. Is his superior. So said Francois Descamps, the Frencr.maa's manager, today. "I'll admit, too," added Descamps. "that Jack Dempsey is the greatest heavyweight who ever lived. But I'll claim that Georges comes next. Dempsey was too heavy and too pow erful for Georges. He will not seek a return match. What we want now is a challenge for the world's light heavyweight title which Georges holds by virtue of his victory over Levinsky." The broken bone in Georges' right hand was set today and he said it felt much better. The only other mark of any consequence is a cut under his left eye, about two inches in length. The physician said it would be healed in several days. Georges said he was very tired and that he would rest for four or five days. He read several newspaper accounts of the fight and expressed his delight at the favorable comment on his part of it. Gameness Gladly Proven. "I feel glorious, even in defeat." he smiled, "to think that I did what I wanted to do show 'em that I was game." -We would like to get a match with Bill Brennan or Tom Gibbons." Des caps said. "We may remain here in Manhasset for a while. Georges will keep in shape and will be ready if challenged. "It was, of course, an unfortunate thing that Carpentier broke his hand. However, the chances are the result would have been the same, only it would have come later in the fight. "Georges suffered an injury to his hand two weeks ago while boxing with Joe Jeanette and it may have been this that caused it to snap yes terday. After the workout with Jean ette that day he told us he had hurt his hand but asked us to keep it quiet. He said if the newspaper men learned of it people would cay he was preparing an alibi. It was for this reason that he started secret train ing." Grim Determination Voiced. Carpentier, through his comrades, told his story of the fight this after noon while resting on the front porch. He had been instructed by Wilson and Descamps to be wary and let Dempsey force the battle, but just before the opening bell, he said to them: "The American people have been told that I was a game and cour ageous fighter. I must fight." When he came to his corner after the first round he told them that every one of Dempsey's blows had hurt. "Then keep away. from, him," they say they told him. "Never, I must, fight with every ounce of power," he replied, as he rushed to the center of the ring. During the second round Carpen tier said he hit Dempsey with three right hooks and three right upper cuts and that all his power was be hftid them. Pain Felt In Hand. "When he did not go down under those blows, I knew I could not de feat him," the Frenchman said. "It was then a matter of going on and fighting, trusting to luck t escape the hardest punches. "When I went at him in tt third I felt the pain in my right hand, and somehow I could not use it accu rately or with power. Then Demp sey's right hand caught me in the back of the neck just at the crest of the spinal column. "My body was numb all over and I thought I was gone, but managed to last the round. "I felt a little fresher when the bell rang for the fourth, but at the outset Dempsey got to my body and the numb. feeling returned, so that I did not feel the blow that floored me. I gritted my teeth and man aged to arise, but the next blow, I believe it was a right to my chin, was the end. Contracts for Tours Offered. "Dempsey fought cleanly and acted the gentleman all the time. There was not an untoward remark passed during the four rounds. It was an honor to have fought him. and be lieve me, 1 don't think it is a dis grace for any man to be defeated by him. Hes a great fighter, and it is my prediction that he will be champion for many years." After the knockout. Trainer Wil son said Dempsey came to the chal (Concluded on Fage 3, Column 2.)
