LAVAN WRITES GRIFF
TELLING OF INJURY

NORFOLK, Va, April 14.-Manager
Griffith yesterday received a letter
from Johnny Lavan. the Nationals
shortstop, written April 5 aboard the
u. S, S. Mississippi at Guantanamo.
Cuba, in which he confirms the report
of the injury to his leg and asserts
his first intimation of the proposed
three-cornered deal involving the
Washington and st. Louis and New
York clubs of the National League was
obtained through newspapers.
Lavan somewhat Indignantly denies
stories printed to the effect that he
disliked Washington and it's fans that
he never would play there again and
that he would play in some other city,
stating that his decision to retire
from the game was due to the fact
that he considered his best interests
lay in practicing surgery. his chosen
profession.
In his letter Lavan says he is hob
bling around on crutches from being
hurt in a game played with the ships
team against the Marines. his leg re-
ankle from his spikes catching while
sliding into second base. He ex-
plains 1t is not as serious as a cross
break and that he expects to be walk
ing again by the time he reaches New
York, which, he said. would be April
IA.
Lavan adds that he has been pro-
NOTED to a fun lieutenant, equal in
rank to . captain in the Army

SAYS THE LAY OFFICERS
SHOULD Do MORE WORK
Rev. DR.. Agar's Suggestion to Bap-
tist Ministers at Conference
Held Here Today.

That the lay officers of the church
must do more work and take con-
siderable responsibility Off the shoul-
ders of the minister, Rev. DIR. F. A
Agar, efficiency secretary of the Bap-
tist Convention lay movement, told
local Baptist preachers at a confer
ence today at Calvary Baptist Church
DR.. Agar had for his subject Eff
ciency." He said that to have eff
cheney in the local church the lay
officers must get out and do con-
siderable more than they have been
doing. He said the officers must be
trained for their work, and suggest
ed conferences for this instruction
work.
The speaker said that the ministers
must stop doing two-thirds of the
work they have been doing and that
this portion must be taken up by the
lay officers. He said that much can
be accomplished by these officers for
the church if each one would devote
but three hours a week, exclusively,
to this church work.
Upon invitation of Rev. DR.. Henry
Allen Tupper, pastor of First Baptist
Church, it was voted to extend an in
vitation to the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, which represents more than
3 200. 900 members. to hold its session
next year in the First Baptist Church
in this city.

Council of Four Discusses
General Peace Situation
at an Unexpected Session

PARIS. April 13 (by the Associated
Press).-Quite unexpectedly a meeting
of the council Of four was held at
o'clock this evening with President Will
son in attendance. The call for the
meeting resulted from Premier Lloyd
Georges determination to return to
London tomorrow. The session broke up
after o'clock The discussion covered
the general situation. among other
question the date when it would be
possible to conclude the draft treaty
and summon the German delegates to
Versailles.
During the early hours of the day the
President remained at home, but later
went driving with Mrs. Wilson. Little
trace of the Presidents recent illness
remains.
The final session which discussed
the Monroe doctrine and Japanese
amendment aroused great deal of
feeling, and was at times stormy.
French opposition to the Monroe doc
trine was based on the ground that it
singled out one nation for special
treatment and also that the principle
of the Monroe doctrine, if applied to
Europe, might keep the United States
from again aiding France, If she were
menaced by another German attack.
There was virtually no opposition
expressed to the Japanese demands ex-
cept that of Premier William M.
Hughes of Australia, which was so
pronounced that it compelled Great
Britain to withhold approval, thus pre-
venting it's adoption.
When the debate dragged beyond
midnight on Friday Lord Robert Cecil
asked Col. r. NJ House: How long
is this going to last?"
Col. House consulted Mr.. Wilson.
and Immediately replied: 1T is going
to last until daylight, If necessary to
adopt this covenant"
When this became known, opposition
subsided. and the session was soon
concluded.

LABOR AID FOR IRISH ASKED.
Speaker at Gonzaga Hall Would
Have Senate Modify Peace Treaty.

E. H. Dunnigan. president of the In
ternational Stereotypers and Electro
typers' Union, speaking yesterday at
mass meeting of the Friends of
Irish Freedom. at Gonzaga Hall. made
the plea that organized labor throw
its influence in promoting the move
ment Of self-determination for Ire
land. James L. Feeney, president of
the Bookbinders' Union. fndorsed the
proposition.
Rosa F. Downing. president Of the
society, said that it was within the
power of the United States Senate to
write in the peace treaty a clause that
would give to Ireland self-determfna-
ton of government. Thomas Pyne
said that England had failed to gov
ern Ireland justly and has not treated
Ireland as II she were a democracy.
Prof Daniel Edwards reviewed at
some length the movements that have
sought to free Ireland from England.
The Sim Fein movement was ex-
planned by Miss Katherine Hughes,
head Of the Irish national bureau, To-
Gated in this city.

sCoFFs AT PREDICTION.

challenging the statements made in
The Star that the opponents of Champ
Clark will soon cease their activi-
ties to defeat him for party leader in
the next Congress. and that the ad-
ministration is not in sympathy with
this anti-Clark campaign. Representa-
tive John v. Lesher of Pennsylvania
has issued q statement through the
democratic reorganization committee.
He describes as "camoufiage" the
prediction that the administration
will soon issue a statement which
will say that Champ Clark will be
acceptable in every way to the ad-
and continues:
II am of the opinion that this ar
ticle was published without consult
ing any member of the administration,
and inasmuch as it must have orig
mated in the minds of those who are
friends of Mr.. Clark and against the
administration, it proves conclusively
that his supporters are alarmed at
the growing sentiment in favor of a
leader who can be relied on at all
times to defend the present adminis-
tration."
