REFUSAL TO PLAY

Forfeit to Newport Stands-Meeting of
Leag1e Directors Here-J. Kea-

Twin State League was held Yesterday
at the Brooks House. The forfeited

derstood that Mr.. Ready will finish the
season. No other business OF import
.anee was transacted Every club in
the league had a representative pres

The forfeit was due to the refusal
.ot Northampton, then under the mar
agement IF David Shea. to play the
game scheduled at Newport because of
the fact that Manager Shea claimed to
have no notification of the change in
time for starting the game from $50
TO 1 o clock and the subsequent refus-
.al of the Newport management to agree
to call the game in time for the North
ampton team to make connections with
the last train from Claremont Junction
that afternoon. This decision leaves
the league standing unchanged.

The second despatch reads:

FRANCE OBJECTS
TO AMERICAN PLAN
In Relation to Neutrality of Foreign
Owned Ships Bringing Home
Americans.

WASHINGTON, August 24.-France
has replied unfayorably to the proposal of
the United States that ships owned by
belligerent countries. but chartered by
this government for the sole purpose Of
'repatriating" Americans be regarded as
neutral The United States recently mott
fed all European belligerents that under
article 4 Of the Hague convention of
1907, which eEempts from capture all
vessels occupied in mission of philan-
thropy this government would regard as
neutralized ships chartered to bring
Americans home Each power, however,
was asked for a declaration on the sub
iect.
Great Britain's response was that if
such ships were manned by American Off
GERS and flew the American flag, she
would have no objection The plan was
to charter some of the Hamburg -Ameri-
can liners tied up in American ports to
20 abroad, bring Americans home. and
remain in American ports after their re-
turn. France indicated her disapproval of
the plan on the ground that this would he
an advantage to German shipping Ger
many was willing to permit the Ham
burg gAmerican liners to he used to bring
Americans home, voluntarily offering to
do So before the United States sounded
the British government on this point
Two German-owned steamers have been
waiting in Genoa to take Americans home
if all the powers agreed to neutralize such
ships when chartered by the United
States
Officials did not say whether they would
continue to regard foreign-owned ships
chartered by the American government as
neutral, carrying ont to the letter their
construction of the Hague convention. 1t
would not interfere with these ships if the
United States had no other way Of bring
ing Americans home, but as such facilities
have appeared IN the past week it is un-
likely that the United States will press
the point.
Americans now are leaving Germany by
way of ports in Holland Those in Aus
trla are going to Switzerland and thence
to France or Italy. Embassador Page at
London cabled the state department yes
terday that the week iust closed found
Americans in England in a better situa-
ton than at any time since the war be
gan. He said the large majority of those
III England week ago had sailed for
home, and that although there was CON
tnuous stream of Americans from the
continent there was no great congestion.
He added that the relief work is we'll

formal declaration of policy bearing on
the delivery by Japan to GERMANY of

according TO advices from Toxic. to the
effect that the integrity Of China would

Nhile regretting that any differences
mad arisen between Japan and Ger
many, the United States pointed out
lhat 1t must refrain from expressing
any opinion on the merits of the ulti-
matum, especially since the ultimatum
might lead to war, and it was the avow-
ed policy of this government to main
tain absolute neutrality in every phase
Of the European conflict The United
states took occasion, however. in a
friendly and diplomatic way to place
on record its understa nding of the sit
uation, as follows:
First, that Japan 5 purpose was not
to seek territorial aggrandizement in
China
Second, that Japan had promised to
restore the territory of Kiau Chow to
China. maintaining the integrity of that
republic. and acting only in accordance
with the Anglo-Japanese alliance, one
of whose objects is the preservation of
the commercial interests of all powers
in China and of equal opportunity to
all
Third, that in case of serious dis
orders or disturbances in the interior
of China growing ont of the unsettled
state of affairs III the far East, Japan
