WASHINGTON, Aug. President WIZ

address to Congress tomorrow after
noon at 4 o'clock.
One possibility loomed up to threat
en- the Presidents plans. 1t was that
the leaders might not be able to round

Representative Blanton, Democrat,
of Texas, served notice ON Republican
Leader Mondell that he, for one, would
insist on a legal quorum.
Republican and Democratic leaders
both. accordingly. made the telegraph

fidence that a legal quorum would be on

Lindley NJ. Garrison, receiver of

continued violence squarely on the

Meanwhile the Mayor went over

Julius NJ. Mayer. who appointed Mr..
Garrison receiver, to compel Mr.. Gar

Judge Mayer telegraphed promptly
from Buffalo last night that he ap-

PARIS, Aug. THE British Govern
Iaent has made a direct proposal to
tin United States to assume the task
Of maintaining order in the Caucasus
~ gion, from which the British will be
forced TO withdraw in the next two
weeks. 1t is estimated the job will re-
quire the services of $4,000 American
troops
The British were urgent in their
representations that unless the United
States assumed the task of policing
this region anarchy would result
among the struggling new nations that
are seeking to rise from the ruins Of
the Turkish empire.
Before definitely deciding this ques-
ton. which would put an American
army in an entirely new region. 1t has
been determined that Major Gen. Har-
bord. Chief Of Staff. shall leave here
Immediately for Armenia to thor
oughly investigate the situation. Gen.
Harbord will depart August Is, by
which date the British troops expect
to begin their withdrawal.
Mandate strongly Urged.
The withdrawal Of the British forces,
ss THE SUN already has pointed out,
has brought up new problem in con-
nection with the Armenian mandate
question, for obviously this region can
not be left to itself and at the mercy
Of the Turks pending Americas de-
cision. The British and French and
other nations are anxiously desirous
that America assume a mandate for
Armenia and Constantinople. They
would be glad to have America take
up Immediately the problem Of main
tanning order in those regions. hoping
thus to hasten and influence the man
date decision.
President Wilson apparently has
yielded to the extent of allowing Gen
era Harboard to investigate. un-
doubtedly prompted by Hoover's in
sistence that something must be done.
Mr.. Hoover's agents now practically
are running Armenia, but left with
out troops their work apparently must
come to an end. The British have had
two divisions in the Caucasus for eight
months. The Italians were to have
succeeded them, but the italian Par
lament vetoed the decision.
Means Troops From Home.
The British agreed to stay until
August 10. meanwhile representing to
the Americans that their forces, being
less exhausted. ought to assume the
lob II America agrees 1t will be nee
essary to send troops from home.
Thus the Wilson policy Of inter-
nationalism has been called upon by
other nations here to assume tangible
form Immediately in a part of the
world where lawlessness and anarchy
already reigns. The Armenians al
ready are menaced by the Turks, who
profess to be acting independently OF
Constantinople. The United States
forces are expected to overawe the
Turks and protect the Armenians
Georgians and other races who are
unable to offer real assistance them
selves.

 Preliminary practice will open at Newfeld park on the morning of May l and as the season does not open until May 14 the Bridgeporters will have two full weeks of practice. No tices ordering all players to be on hand here on that date have already been sent out by business manager Jim Kelly
 ''FIowie'' Baker, the HoIyoke utility man who last season did good work at second base, was signed today. Baker is exceedingly popular with local fans and Hkable chap personally. He can play any position on the diamond and is a fairly good hitter
 Eddie Eayrs may not manage the Grays in Providence this season. AS a matter of fact Ben MouIton 6 CO. are doing very little toward preparing for the opening of the season.

Eddie Meade, Joe's manager, is be- trg swamped with offers from all parts of the country, but Eddie is re- serving decision pending the arrival of his champion. A Broadway vaude vile agent is anxious to book Lynch for a showing at theatres in the me tropolitan district.
 Si1vey Burns insists that he has matched Frankie Carbone, his mid dleweight, with Jack Britton, the welterweight champion, at New Lon don- The writer, however, knows for a positive fact that the match is not on and also that there will be no show at New London on April 22.
 Eddie Kinley, the Long Branch heavywci ght who fought such a great fight with Battling Levinsky at Ear~1 rison the other night, is a promising lad and it wouldn't be a bad idea if promoters in this section who plaB on staging a heavyweight bout take this newcomer into cOnsidera ton. He is a tall, lean fighter who is best at long range.
 Jack Cur1ey and Jess Willard are pals once more. Which probably means that Curley will arrange vaudeville tour for the champion if he is successful in defending his championship against Jack Dempsey on July Fourth.
 Johnny Rosner, former flyweight champion, and Young Montreal of Providence, the new flyweight cham pion, are expected to be rematched for a 15-round bout before the Ma tionaI A. c. in MarleviIle, R. l., fC k next month. Rosner insists that he can not only beat Monty, but knock him out as well. This time he wants more time in which to train for the battle.
 Five applications have been re- celved by the Police Commissioners for the second permit in June. While the Commissioners have not yet made up their mind who shall get this li- cense 1t is assumed that Billy Hogan will be the fortunate one.

MiddleWestern Linksmen Garry Out Recommenda- tion Made at U. s. C.. A. Meeting in New York.

The Chicago Golf Club has taken tC heart the recommendation made at the annual meeting of the United States Golf Association in Gotham early in the year, and as a result, a number of returned soldiers have been employed on the links. Alec Duncan, the professional, is in charge of the ex-soldiers. The club is plan ming to enlarge it's social activities.
 In this age of turbulence, one need scarcely be surprised at any sugges- ton out of the ordinary and in this respect even the staid old game of golf is not exempt. Recently some one suggested that two celebrities get together and play eighteen holes of golf, one hole on each course, and in making such a round to visit Vari- ous sections of the country. An air plane was to enter into the scheme of things, and of course to make it a real thriller, Charles Evans, Jr., and Francis Ouimet, had to be included. Furthermore, the United States Golf Association was mentioned as likely to select the holes. The L. s. G. 4. however, is not likely to select the holes. It has enough troubles as it is.

12,OOO TRACKS
 IN UNITED STATES
Popularity of Light Harness Sport Has Now Spread From Atlantic to Pacific -Newsy Horse Chatter.

One of the outstanding points per sistently brought to attention by be- levers in the present to-mouth struggle of harness racing organiza- ton is the obsolete assertion that there are nearly 1900 trotting tracks in the United States and this in it. self indicates a universal popularity of the sport, specially when annual returns show close to 1000 meet ings.
 This argument of course is based on quantity because some of these annual meetings are no more entitled to be dignifed as racing events than boys playing baseball on a vacant lot would be in a class with league mem bers, while the very fact of keeping these antiquated plants in every backwoods county and licensing them at a certain fee to become regulars, is one of the greatest drawbacks for this branch of outdoor sport.
