Although the United States cannot par
ticipate in the initial stages of the
leagues work, it is understood that the
decision has been reached to have Presi-
dent Wilson issue a call for the first
meeting of the council of the league
within the 15-day period provided in the
treaty for the appointment by the coun-
ell of three members of the commission
which is to determine the boundary of
the Saare basin.
The present view of the officials here
is that representatives of Great Britain.
France, Italy and possibly Japan, whose
ratification of the treaty is expected
daily, viii function without any chal-
lenge of the legality of the proceed
ings on account of the absence of Ameri-
can representation.
DELEGATES RETURN SOON
Under pressure from Washington and
with the approval of the American dele
cation in Paris, the participation of this
government in the proceedings of the
peace conference in Paris is rapidly
nearing an end. Unless there are some
untoward developments officials here be-
lieve it will be possible for the delega-
ton to wind up it's work within month,
While the illness of the President has
prevented the personal consideration by
him of the later phases of the supreme
councils defiberations, it is stated that
this has not retarded the winding up of
the work. Secretary Lansing said today
he had acted upon questions Submitted
from Paris for decision by the admin
istration. None of these questions re1
ally presents any new features except
in small details, and the President al
ready has determined the position of the
American government upon the large
principles involved and made known his
views to the cabinet members concerned
This is said to be true, even to the con-
flicting claims of Italy and Jugo-Slavia
to Eiume and other portions of the Ad-
Ratio coast, which appear now to be in
fair way to amicable settlement.

Therefore. I think there are more
ones made on holes that are over

a difference. TOO. I have seen balls

drop in and stay. but that is the
only circumstance where 1 have seen
the ball stay in the cup on the

Once in a Glen View Golf club
tournament Chandler Egan made the
seventh hole in one. and then
player unknown to fame, who was

Douglas Grant. while playing in the
California championship at Del

would be interesting to check up on

There are the stock stories at golf

TO discover that John Smith. who
was ahead of him, had deposited the

There is another story told, too. of
