No Soviet Emissarics
Indications today were that Premier
Lloyd Georges proposal TO VI. Pichon,
French Foreign Minister would again
take form in having Soviet agents come
here, and three names of prominent
leaders were mentioned as possible
emlssaries. But this is now said TO be
definitely superseded by a plan of in
quiry or investigation. without involv-
ing the presence of Soviet agents.
The Danish Minister to Russia, Har-
old Savenius. made a statement before
the executive session of the council yes
terday on conditions in Russia which
also had strong influence in deter
mining that Soviet representatives
should not come TO Paris He was the
last or the ministers to leave Petro-
grad and today he emphasized the fu-

course with the Soviet leaders.

in Council of World
League
CITES WAR RESOLUTION

Paris, Jan. 22.--Slr Robert J.. Borden,
Premier of Canada has given to the
Associated Press the following statement
regarding the claims of Great Britain's $
self lf-governing dominons TO place in
the league of nations as automous pa
tions of the imperial commonwealth;
In the imperial war council in 1917.
] had the honor of moving in behalf OF
Canada a resolution, which was accepted
by the United Kingdom and the other
dominions and which declared that the
readjustment OF the constitutional re-
1ations of the component parts of the
British Empire should be based on the
full recognition Of the dominous as au-
tonomous nations Of the imperial com
monwealth.
Principle il Applied
1.-THE principle thus established has
been illustrated and carried into eject
by the Peace Conference tn which the
several dominions have distinctive rep
resentation as members OF the world
wide Britannia commonwealth. which in
one sense, is itself league of nations
THE resolution OF 1915. 10 which /
have alluded, declared in emphatic terms
the right of each dominion TO an ade-
Quate voice in the foreign policy and
foreign relations with which the pro-
posed league of nations Is intimately
and vitality concerned.
1T is neither necessary nor desirable
to forecast the exact method b" which
this essential purpose shall be fulfilled
IN framing the constitution OF the pro-
posed league
I'm addition to the distinctive repre-
.s.. A.
congress. their delegates also have a
place on the panel from which the five
delegates representing the British COM
monwealth of nations as q whole are
to be selected from time 20 time. By
one or both of these methods, as may he
determined after due consideration, the
dominions may receive the recognition
and exert the influence which their
national status demands in the proposed
society of nations"
Empire Unit on Peace
Regarding the status of the British
dominions in the council Of the League
of Nations, the Paris newspapers state
1t Is understood that although the 10
minions claims 20 be entitled 10 equal
numerical consideration with the smaller
European States, they favor representa-
tion in the same form and manner as
obtains at the Peace conference. They
will be content for the British Empire
to speak and vote as one voice and vote
as a unit in the league.
The present panel system Il IS eX-
planned. is regarded as working salts
factorily and 1t is confidently felt that
the dominion representatives would a.
ways compose a part or even the whole.
If necessary, of the imperial delegation
IN the league when questions closely
affecting the overseas arose.

Practice Game.
FOSTER MAKES FOUR HITS
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

AUGUSTA, Ga, March 29.-Those of
the Nationals accounted Regulars won
the first skirmish of the season from
a mixed team of vets and youngsters
today at Warren Park. The result
hardly can be termed a score. An
adding machine was necessary to
tabulate what transpired and put it
in shape for transmission over the
wire. With the assistance of a certi-
fled public accountant it finally was
esta blished that the Yannigans had
been defeated by count of 13 to 10.
1T was not much of a contest from
an artistic standpoint. but there was
action enough to satisfy a generous
turnout of natives. including those of
the dusky variety, and provide splen-
did exercise for the athletes. which,
of course, was the primary reason for
perpetrating the affair.
All told, twenty three of the twen
ty-six performers conditioning here
were concerned in the fracas. al
though Harper's participation con-
sisted merely of lolling around in
right field for one inning after Craft
had deserted the job to warm up for
pitching duty. Harry asked us as a
friend to forget that he had anything
to do with the jamboree. At this earn
est solicitat ton his name was not in
serted in the box score. He did not
aid and abet, however. and certainly
can be regarded as co-conspirator
or. at least, as accessory after the
fact

NAVY NINE STARTS
PLAY WEDNESDAY
Will Meet Baltimore Orioles.
Eight 1918 Regulars in
Formidable Squad. ;

ANNAPOLIS. Md, March 29.-The
cd by Billy Lush, will start its season
Wednesday. meeting the Baltimore
club of the Internationa League. Only
fair local schedule has been ar
ranged. as few Of the big college
teams will take southern trip this
year. The season ends on May 81 with
a game against the Military Acad-
emy at West Point.
One sentiment grips every me m Der
of the squad: we must win from the
Army this year" In eight successive
years the Cadets have been victo-
rious They didn't meet in 1917 and
1918.
Eight regulars of last years team
and host of excellent new men. are
in the squad. No pitcher has yet de-
veloped into phenom but Coach
three look especially good. The list
comprises r. Baker. Bolton. Canes.
Sproul, Reiter. Jacob. Greber, i. n.
Baker. Alexander. Kelly and Reside
Of the neW& class.
1t is likely that Lush will start r.
Baker against the Orioles. He has
speed, good curves and control, and
just now seems to be the best of the
lot. Bolton has speed, good deliv-
cry and experience. while l. N. Baker,
a new man and a lefthander. has good
speed and curves. and is developing
fast. Others. notably Sproul and kel-
ly. are doing good work.
For catchers the team has in
Cloughley. last years regular, Hart
man and Hogan three excellent re-
ceivers and throwers.
These regulars of last season have
the call just now. and will probably
start in the opening game: Doyle,
first base: Pine, second base; Whel-
chel, third base: Miner. shortstop;
Stubs. left field. Blakaslee (captain),
center field. Rawlings, from the Uni
versity of Cincinnati. a member of
the new class and who played several
games as halfback on the foot ball
team. is filling the other outf1eld
position.

NOTES OF GOLF AND GOLFERS

If plans put forward by one of the
members of the golf team of the Ban
nockburn Golf Club go through, d
will be played for in the team
matches between the members of the
Bannockburn and Washington Coz
and Country Club teams this year
Basil l.. Manly. who plays the num-
Der two position on the Bannockburn
team, is the originator of the sugges-
tion. which it is understood has re-
ceived the approval of his fellow team
members and of team members of the
Washington Golf and Country Club
Such a trophy, to be played for each
year by the two teams in a series Of
five matches yearly. will. it is claim ed
create a rivalry and spirit of team
competition between the two clubs
that could not be approached by the
usual informal team matches held
yearly. The five-match competition
has been put forward as the solution
of the problem of equaliZing the rela-
tive strength Of the two teams, as
five matches instead of three will
bring about balance of team
strength that might be overwhelm-
ingly In favor of one team in a short
er series. For instance. in 4 three
match series, if one Of the IonteSting
teams was unfortunate enough to
have two or three of its best players
unavailable for play, it void result
I'm overwhelming victory for the other
team. The teams are very evenly
balanced, aS is proven by the close
contests pia yed last year.
