H. S. Basketball Situation Is Shaken—Dempsey’s Summer Plans Indefinite

Friday Contests Produce Upsets Among State Elite, Anderson’s Defeat by Huntington Coming as Surprise—Frankfort Loses. As State tournament time approaches in high school basketball circles the more difficult it seems for the fans to be very sure of any of the leadiing contenders for the State title. It is bitter medicine for some of the loyal followers to see their favorites go down at a time when the various teams should be reaching their full strength for the big test.

These games close to tourney time take on greater significance than they really should. A loss in the middle of the season is overlooked, but one close to the finish line gives the dopesters a chance for more speculation than is necessary. Watch those “Big Tens” after the Anderson defeat. One loss and down the StaggsmeTi will go. It’s a very serious proposition—this basketball to many of its followers —much too serious. After all—it’s just a game. The defeat of Anderson by Huntington was the terrific shocker on Friday night. It took an overtime to do it, but the Huntington team, which has not caused any great stir this season, Jumped into the limelight with its 34-to-30 victory. The Frankfort loss to Jefferson of Lafayette may be explained by the absence of Pogue from the line-up. The big back guard was injured in the Kokomo game last week and Case’s team is weakened without him. It was Frankfort’s first defeat and may do that team more good than harm. A squad on a winning streak Is under a strain and many times when the string is broken the team QtPrrs even better ball. Martinsville seems to be coming efrong again, as was proved by their great battle against Bedford. Bloomington also must be watched. In Corr2l and Geiger they have two of the fastest cut-in shots in the State. rhelbyvilie and Muncie continued to on the gas and run up huge e-jores. Richmond had no easy time With RushviUe, but came through for a victory. Franklin was forced to the limit by Columbus, which played * fine defensive game, but Franklin ■'♦on out by a five-point margin. FYanklin may upset some “sure th'*ng3.”

RECOGNITION OE RUSSIA LAUDED (Continued From Pago 1) Istration. The frost-bitten diplomacy of 1923 has disappeared and a real thaw lias set in. The proposals of the Genoa conference stipulated that, as a condition of de jure recognition, the Russian government should acknowledge the debts incurred by its predecessors to foreign lenders and should restore the confiscated property of foreigners inside Russia or compensate them for the loss; and, moreover, that the Soviet government should undertake not to organize, assist or countenance any hostile propaganda against the laws and institutions of another country. Complete Accord On the main condition of recognition there was, at that date, complete accord between the powers negotiating with Russia. Belgium, having invested heavily in Russian enterprises, concentrated her thoughts and endeavors on the clause which dealt with confiscated property. France imperatively demanded that Russia could not prove her fitness to enter the comity of civilized nations unless she not only recognized her debts, but made immediate arrangements of a negotiable character for liquidating these liabilities, * with recoverable interest. To French statesmen, payment of the obligations incurred by a nation to foreign lenders was the hallmark of civilization. French Scornful When the Russian delegates put in a plea of poverty for their country ats4 pointed to the desolating ruin of war and civil dissension and to the ravages of pestilence and famine, the French delegates were scornful. It was only barbarians or Bolshevists who repudiated honest debt* for honest money advan’ced by ueighbors. and they had no patience with debtor* who

pleaded devastation of their country ms a reason for putting off payment of what was due from them! But what between Belgium overpressing its demands for restoration ftnd the French over-rgi*g their claims for repayment of debt., agreement was found to be Impossible. Property Wasting The net result has been that the Belgian investors have not had their property restored or received compensation in respect of it—that each year that property Is deteriorating and chances of compensation are becoming more remote, and that the French Investor has received nothing In respect of his Russian bonds and is now less likely than ever to do so. A further result Is that the effort at combined understanding with Russia having broken down, isolated negotiations have takon Its place. Each country will henceforth consider Its own interests and Its own public opinion. Italy has no Russian bonds or Russian Investments to hamper her negotiations and she is not likely to risk failure for the sake of Insuring the restoration of Belgian properties or the repayment of French loans. Her people need Russian wheat —that Is their main concern. And a Socialist government in England Is not likely to embarrass its understanding with Russia by worrying the Soviets about claims of French and Belgian investors. No and Russian Trade The British worker and the capitalist both need trade with Russia. The Soviet government having secured recognition from Britain, Italy, Germany and possibly Czecho-Slovakia will not think It worth their while burdening Russia with the full Genoa terms in order to purchase recognition from France and Belgium. The United States of America will come in on its own terms and only In Its own good time. The American Government Is hardly likely to take upon Itself the worries of French and Belgian diplomacy so that, in the end. French and Belgian investors will suffer for the working of the policy played by the Poincare government during the efforts made at Genoa to restore peace in Europe. How will it work out? That will tie

JURY SAYS YES; JUDGE SAYS NO Jackson’s Victory Is ShortLived in Milwaukee Court. By Times Special MILWAUKEE, Feb. 16. —Joe Jackson, former Chicago White Sox outfielder, late Friday won his suit for back salary against Comiakey’s club, according to the verdict of the jury in Circuit Court here, but Judge Gregory set aside the verdict and dismissed the case, saying Jackson’s testimony “reeked with perjury.” Raymond Cannon, Jackson’s attorney, was not ready today to state if i he planned to appeal to the Supreme I Court. Judge Gregory criticised the jury for its finding. Jackson's claim for back pay amounted to $18,500, but the jury cut It to $16,711.04. i Jackson, with several other players, were ruled out of organized baseball after it was discovered the 1919 world series had been faked by the White Sox.

pend on what happens In Russia. I have no doubt that the present Russian government is sincerely desirous of establishing good relations with Britain. Russia needs credit on a large scale. Suffering Great No country in the world has suffered so much from the war and the upheaval that followed the war, and restoration and reconstruction are making slow progress. The Russian delegates at. Genoa placed their immediate requirements in the way of foreign credits at 400,000,000 pounds. That figure Is modest when one thinks of Russian deficiencies in railways, in machinery for factories, collieries and oil wells, and especially for agriculture. Great Future It will cost Russia much more to purchase frftm outside sources the necessary equipment for repairing the damage wrought by the conflicts of the last ten years. And when resstoration Is complete, there will still remain the Infinite undeveloped possibilities of that vast territory that will make a demand on the financial ar.d manufacturing resources of the outside world without parallel since America was opened up In the nineteenth century. Russia’s future will depend entirely on the confidence her rulers will succeed in creating in the money markets of Europe and America. Need Help The first fact driven into their minds, by the famine and failure of the last few years, la that their country depends for its restoration on the help of people who detest their doctrines. They know that it is essential o their success as a Government that they should win the confidence of the moneyed classes in other lands. Although there are many capable men at the head of affairs In Russia today, there is no one who possesses the gifts and influence of Lenin. The world is apt to write him down as a monster. It is too early yet to estimate fairly his real qualities. In the past, monsters have been maker* of Russia. Lenin Unchallenged Ivan the Terrible apd Peter th*

Great were ogres of cruelty and savagery, but they built up the power and dominion of modern Russia. Lenin may be given by history a place in that terrible succession. What matters for the moment, however, is that his sway, during his lifetime, was unchallenged and unchallengeable. He was regarded with a worship only accorded to persons visited with a certain divinity. There Is no one in Russia today clothed with his attributes. The abler the men who divide amongst them his power, the fiercer will be ♦he struggle if they fall out amongst themselves. The history of revolution, after the fall of the central figure, Is ominous of troubles. There Is no parliament or democracy in Russia In which the ultimate authority is vested. There Is. therefore, no arbiter of disputes except force. Unless and until events demonstrate that the Russian government Is stable and can be depended upon, I cannot see investors forming queues when the next Russian loan is being floated. NEW U. S. BOARD FAVORED Indiana Engineers Would Have National Public Works Department.
