submarine craft in American waters as. protection for both ports and shipping, while Great Britain kept III destroyers with the grand fleet and entirely out of antisubmarint activities. The point Captain Pratt makes is that if the nine or 10 anti submarine craft retained at home by the United States could have decided the war more quickly, then Great Britain surely could have spared that small number from the big fleet oi her own that was practically inac. tive.
 It is equally true that if the keep ing of these nine or 10 submarine fighters out of the war zone post poned the allied victory, then the greater part of the blame should be upon Great Britain and not upon the United States. Admiral Sims cannot escape the dilemma.

A REFINERY HERE.

Some months ago this newspaper urged that the business men of Pine Bluff make preparations for the building of an oil refinery here with a view towards actual construction ii oil is developed in this section. The preliminary work would be at little expense. It would save great deal of time, if oil is developed and the occasion for such an enterprise transpires.
 It seems now that preliminary work in work of this sort is more than ever needed may soon be brought in in paying quantities q short distance from Pine Bluff. II this materializes, Pine Bluff will bs in no better position to take advan- tage of the situation for its indus trial development than any othe, city in this section. If we lay oul lines in anticipation of an oil de- velopment in this section, we will be in a position to share in it's benefits If oil fails to develop our expert ments have cost us nothing.

Secret Funeral for Seven Russian
 NOblemen Held

Picking. April 23.-Seven bodies, four of them said to be those of members of the Russian imperial family, arrived in Peking from Har bin yesterday and were buried ill the Russian cemetery outside the city wall. The whole proceeding was yelled in secrecy, even the Russian legation receiving scant information of the circumstances.
 The bodies were declared to be those of Grand Duke Serge Michael ovitch, Prince Ivan, husband of Princess Helene, daughter of King Peter of Serbia; Prince Igor, broth CT of Prince Ivan; Grand Duchess Elizabeth, a sister of the late en- press, and three servants who shared the fate of members of the royal family when, it is alleged, they were killed and their bodies thrown into q coal mine near Perm. The discov- cry of the corpses was said to have been made by a commission appoint ed by Admiral Kolchak last summer.

WHAT'S THIS?

Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia, in speech Thursday declared that the treasury depart ment of the United States is the on. ly department that is well-organized The other departments, he said, are cumbersome bureaus; much of their efforts are useless, and the whole tendency of their functioning seems to be towards confusion. Dr. But Ter gave an enlightening talk on what might be done with these de- partments to save the people money and to make for their efficiency. Dr. Butler is candidate for the republi- can nomination for the presidency. His talk was political" speech. It is the only political speech recently made by any candidate that was in structive. It is the only speech in the campaign as far as we know that wasn't an appeal to prejudice or sec tionalism. It is the only piece of real constructive criticism that has come from Republican candidate
 Dr. Butler, as a candidate for the Republican nomination, is almost too good to be true.

RACQUETS TITLE

J. w. Wear and Jay Gould Tri-

National Doubles Title Today
WEAR is STAR OF PLAY
BY SPICK HALL

Philadelphia is in the process of
making clean up of the various titles
being played for at games with rae
ouet on indoor courts. This afternoon
at the Racquet Club here. j. w. Wear,
nartnered with Jay Could the pair rep
resepting Philadelphia. won the national
amateur doubles racquets championship.
About month ago Jay Gould won
the open championship at court tennis.
Gould and Wear won today from
Stanley Mortimer and G. c. Pell, repre-
senting New York. The scores were
1919, ,15-11, 9-15, 1910, 1918, els,
1871.
A large crowd was present to sec the
finals, and there was tremendous ap-
plause at times, particularly on the
work of Wear, who the critics found
had improved wonderfully over the game
he had played earlier.
Wear. partner with George H..
brooke. had won the title in 1916. But
here and there. in his play up to today
during the week, the experts discovered
matches of rather ragged playing. There =
fore the heights to which he rose today
we're all the more pleasing to the spec
tators.
Gould also was in fine form. and it
is likely that they will pdlr. mp in the

With George H. Brooke, Wear won
the title in 1916, when the Phila =
delphians defeated Pell and Mortimer,
the New Yorkers having won the cham
ponship the year before. This is the
first year that Wear and Gould have
paired together, and while the New
Workers. had the advantage of having
played long as team, and while Gould,
who is the open court tennis champion
of this country. was n comparatively
newcomer at racquets the Racquet Club
pair was expected to give the Gotham
experts a very hard match even though
they were not the favorites before the
play started.

YALE WILL TEST
PENN'S METTLE
Red and Blue Takes Rest Prior
to Important League
Game

The mettle of Penn varsity five will
receive the supreme test tonight. After
passing through three contests. all of
the speedy variety, inside of n week and
n half and coming within n trump of
dropping the first intercollegiate contest
to Princeton. the Red and Blue basket
ballers embark upon their second league
game tonight in Weightman Hall against
the Yale quintet.
When the Yale team enters the Penn
court it will not be endowed with an
unmarried list of victories to its credit,
like Penn, but its prestige lies in the
act that Yale at present leads the Inter
collegiate League and that lat week
came out on the long end of a 26 to is
score against Princeton. Yale has been
improving steadily during the last five
games. only dropping one contest, and
that to the Crescent A. c.. which had
no bearing on the league standing.
