REFUSES To CHANGE
Reservations ON
TWO PACT CLAUSES
Article Ten and Monroe Doc
trine the Stumbling Block,
Democratic Decision to Be
Announced Tuesday

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Senato;
Lodge, Republican leader, today re-
fused to resume bipartisan treaty
conferences except upon the definita
understanding that no change what
ever be made in the Lodge reserva.
tons on Article X and the Monros
doctrine. He delivered this virtual
ultimatum to the Democratic mem.
bers at brief meeting today.
Democratic conferees Immediately
went into executive session to! de-
eide on their answer. Senator Hitca-
cock in a statement issued after the
Democratic conference, announced
that the Democratic reply to Senator
Lodge will be delivered at another
meeting of the bipartisan conferees
tomorrow morning.
Senator Lodges action is believed
to have made certain the breaking
off of the conferences, and to mark
the failure of this effort at treaty
compromise.
Senator Hitchcock and other Demo-
Gratis seemed agitated by todays de-
velopment. In his formal Statement
Senator Hitchcock said:
when the conference assembled
Senator Lodge advised the senators
present that he had been called into
a meeting. by certain Republican
senators and for that reason had
not been able to attend the last co3A
ference Friday. He regretted to say
that he found it impossible to re-
sumo the conference for compro-
mise except upon the understanding
that no change shall be made in the
reservation of Article 10 or on thu
Monroe doctrine. The Democratic
members retired for a private con-
ference and will make their reply
to Senator Lodge Tuesday morning
at meeting at 1890"
The conference up to the time it's
meetings were interrupted had ten-
tatively agreed upon the preamble
and all sections of the reservations
except that relating to Article 10,
the Monroe doctrine and one or two
minor matters and an agreement
was apparently almost consummated
on Article 10 when adjournment sud.
denly came, Followed by the Inter-
vention OF the "irreconcllabIe Re-
publicans."
Senator Lodge made this statement
after the conference:
II have only this to say about the
committee meeting this morning:
That L said to the committee there
is very strong feeling among many
senator's against any change in the
Lodge reservations, either in words
or in substance and that L thought
it only fair to say now what 1 have
already said in public that there can
be no compromise fprinciple and
that it would be impossible to secure,
in my judgment tWo-thirds of the
senate if any change was attempted
ii such Articles 2 ana 5, those re-
lating to Article 10 and the Monroe
doctrine. 1 said this was mere
statement of the situation"
The position Senator Lodge assum-
ed was said to have the approval
of majority of The Republican
membership in the senate, including
Senators Johnson, of California, and
Borah, of Idaho, as we'll as others
Of the group who have opposed any
modification of the reservations
which the Democrats at the last
session declined to accept.

IS OPPOSED To HIGH
Awards To MEN
WHO LOST SHIPS
Secretary Of Navy to Testify
Later-Board Named to
Investigate Charges Of J,
R, Rathom

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. - Rear
Admiral Austin NJ. Knight, chairman
of the Naval Decorations board, took
sharp issue today with Secretary
Daniels on the matter of naval
awards.
Testifying before the senate
investigating committee, Admiral
Knight said the board could not agree
that officers who lost their ship
through enemy action were entitled
to high decorations unless they had
engaged the enemy.
Admiral Knight said the cases of
officers who lost their vessels
through submarine attacks were not
comparable with those of Lawrence
and Perry as Mr.. Daniel said in his
recent letter to Chairman Page, of
the senate naval committee. Law
rence'S name was immortal, the wit
ness declared, because of the spirit
he showed during the engagement
with the enemy, while Perry's name
will ever live in history because of
the skill and daring he showed in
transferring his flag from his sink
ing flagship to the Niagara and then
leading his almost defeated fleet to
victory.
Admiral knight declared that Sec
rotary Daniels placed much en-
phasis" on cases where commanders
lost their ships in contact with the
enemy.
1.-The board is unable to accept the
view that mere contact with the en-
envy constituted in itself a claim
to recognition even when followed
by meritorious Service, unless such
~,
ed with operations, offensive or de-
fensive, directed against the enemy"
Admiral knight stated.
Secretary Daniels will be called
before the committee in few days,
it is expected.
accommodation for awards made
by the Knight board were overruled
in many cases by Secretary Daniels,
according to figures laid before the
committee by the admiral.
Chairman Page, of the senate ma
val committee, has appointed Sena-
tors Ball, of Delaware; Keyes, New
Hampshire, and King, of Utah, to
determine whether an investigation
should be made into charges by John
r. Rathom, of the Providence Or.
ID Journal, that immoral conditions
exist IN the navy with the fClI
knowledge of Secretary Daniels.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, in
a statement today, said Mr.. Rath-
om's charges were, Gin view of the
circumstances, deliberate and ma
licious attempt to create trouble, in
addition to being false. His state
ment can only be considered ma
liciously vicious, dishonest and dis
honorable attack on the United
States navy"

FLU" SITUATION
NOT ALARMINGIN
CITY OF ATLANTA

Illness from colds grippe, pneu-
monia and influenza in Georgia gem
orally is not above normal at pres
ent. Cases reported in Atlanta last
week showed only slight increase,
whereas the city's death rate Tor
the period was unusually low, and
precautionary steps instituted by the
Red Cross last fall have resulted in
the mobilization of resources in
many communities which would sup
f!ement the work of federal, state
and local authorities in the event
the present satisfactory status of
affairs is not maintained, .-s-.-1ss,--z..-
"Frankly believe that we will
have a little more than the normal
amount of pneumonia and influenza,
although the reassuring situation
today leaves no room for. immediate
uneasiness," said DR.. A. F. Aber-
crombie. secretary of the state
board of health, Monday morning,
Il am thoroughly acquainted with
conditions all over Georgia and 1
know that things are normal right
row. We are bound to have colds.
grippe and influenza at this sea-
son, but no more than the usual
average is in force"
According to DR.. J. p. Kennedy,
city physician, there were no deaths
from influenza in Atlanta last Week.
Twenty cases, representing Il
Slight increase, were reported"
stated DIR. Kennedy, but our weeks
report shows that the city had an
Unusually low death rate. Forty
four deaths were officially reported,
of which seven were caused by acct
Gent or violence and ten by pneU
rOnia. The latter figure is about
normal. The influenza cases repor -
eG are apparently OF much miIder
form than was the case last year
While it is reasonable to presume
that We will have a number of in
fluenz3 cases here, 1 am still hope
ful that there need be no occasion
for general alarm"
Miss Jane Van de Vrade head Of
the department of nursing for the
southern division, American Red
Cross, stated Monday that four
nurses had been sent to two towns
in the Carolinas in response to re-
quests received last week, while 500
FLU" masks had been forwarded to
the Charleston navy yards.
In speaking of activity conducted
last fall by the Red Cross in urging
local chapters of the organization to
form community bureaus where in
formation, resources and aid would
be available to health authorities,
Miss Van de Vrade stated that the
most, essential factor to be consid-
cred at present was the adoption of
some definite cooperative plan as a
precautionary Measure in all locali-
ties.
The suggestions of the Red Cross.
through which many communities
are now well equipped to meet any

SammySandow to
Meet Joe Burman
In Ori ole Battle

Baltimore. Md, April 21.-Al Fried,
manager of the Peerless Athletic
Club, closed for the seasons classiest
ring event tonight. when he pro-
cured Sammy SandOw. the Gin
cinnati bantam star. to clash in .
twelve-round decision mill with Joe
Burman, of Chicago, on Friday even
ing. April 80.
The local promoter signed San
dow after Earl Puryear and Bur-
man were unable to agree on the
weight question. Puryear asked Bur-
man to do lis ringside, but the
ChicagOan's manager, Tommy Walsh,
declared that the only man that
Joe would make that weight for
would be the world champion, Pete
Herman. at whose title Burman is
to get a crack in a fifteen-round
verdict combat in Denver on Decora-
tiOn Day, Jack Tanner. who runs
a club in the Colorado city, having
guaranteed Herman $4,000.
Fried believes Sandow will prove
a stronger card with Bgrman than
Puryear, inasmuch as the Westerner
clearly outpointed Puryear in their
encounter several weeks ago. San
dow is a decidedly better battler
than he showed against Puryear.

Catholic u. Nine
Drops Battle to
Maryland State

In a fast exciting game of ball
yesterday afternoon at Brooklahd
the fast going Maryland State nine
whitewashed the Catholic Uni
versity team by a 40 count. The
story of this encounter can be told
practically in one word "Keene,"
who pitched for the winning aggre-
cation.
At all stages of the contest he
had the Red and Black club at
his mercy, allowing them but three
hits, aside from this it was his
home run in the seventh that put
the combat on ice. This clout
came with one on. Riggs at short
played a great game for the Coli
lege Park lads.
For the Brooklanders, Jackson
pitched a good game. but that same
old trouble, a weak hitting team
behind him was the chief cause Of
his being credited with a loss. The
visitors scored one in the sixth,
with one out S. Knode hit to right,
advaced on Riggs hit and scored
when the squeeze was worked.
keene's homer in the following in
ming sending Snyder in ahead of
him resulted in two more. The
final tally came in the eighth.
Riggs was safe at first, went to
second via the theft route, made
third and home on two successive
outs.
Lucy at short played one of the
best games ever seen on Rillian
Field, his stops all being of the
sensational variety.
The score.

The Brentwood nine will journey
to Clarendon, Va, on Sunday, to bat
tie in their scheduled game. This
contest Is expected to be one of the
best played and hardest fought
games in amateur ranks this season.
Against Gibraltar last Sunday.
Clarendon showed signs of weak
ness on the defence, probably due
to the lack of work, but Manager
Wrenn expects to overcome this
dark spot by the time they engage
Brentwood.

He has worked his way SO far
beyond all rivalry at bat that even
many who are not inclined to cheer
his personality must yield him his
due as a star.
There are countless fans who
would like to see George Sisler or
Eddie Collins or Iris Speaker or
Babe Ruth supplant Cobb, but he
also has his supporters who are
pulling for him to add another
year of triumph to his remarkable
collection.
Ruth is sure to be a popular
type. When he had the good nature
or the good judgment to accept the
Brown Derby demonstration with a
grin. he won the immediate favor
of the crowd.
Babe has the name. the wallop
and the personality that make up
a popular mixture.
The Burns Type.
There are less vivid personalities
hooked to rare ability that also
have larger followings than certain
indications might show.
George Burns of the Giants be-
long to this class. II Burns had
only been a temperamental cuss
his fame would have been doubled
As it is he has merely played
great baseball and ducked the spot
light at every chance.
Yet there are thousands of fans
who would rather watch Burns play
than many more talked-of stars.
Many things are needed to catch
the fancy of the crowd, but always
