Hiltoppers Have But Little
Trouble Taking Game
From George Washing
ton by 34-to-l8 Count.
Flavin Away Off.
By JACK HAAS.

;. Before one of the largest crowds
seen at a basketball contest this
season, Georgetown University
'Set back George Washington Uni
Nersity to the tune of "a to I8.
The game was played in the spa
eious Sym" at the Y. NJ. c. A,
which is the home court OF the
Hatchetites. The running track,
which is the seating space for
spectators, was filled to overflow
ing with supporters of both quints,
the fair sex being in the majority.
Game Is Slow.
The game was not well played by
either quint. as it was dreadfully
slow, especially during the first ses-
sion. 1t became little faster in the
second period. but instead Of working
the ball up for a close shot. everyone
in the game tried to drop them in
from distance. and as only six field
goals were registered in the latter
half. the long ones were invariably
missed.
Biff! bang! boom, The gong sounded
and the game was off. George WASH
ington started off like winners, Gil
man scoring two field goals, one long
one, and one when he got loose from
Georgetown's guard from directly un-
der the basket. He got another point
from the fifteen-foot mark before
Freddy Fees started to drop them in
from the same spot, tossing in five
one pointers in quick succession.
Then O'Connell. batted one in on a fol-
iow-up. and from then out the Hill
toppers were never headed.
Lonschak Makes First.
Lonschak received a pass from
Flavin in the center of the floor. and
seeing no one to pass it to. took a
long c;Sance and through the hoop
she Topped. Gilman then shot his
third and last field goal in the first
period. after which the Hilltoppers
dropped them in from all angles,
the half ending in their favor, %
to IL.
The second half started of with
a rush and both teams rushed the
ball down the floor only to be
stopped about twenty feet from the
goal. where a chance was taken on
a long one In this session George
We ington had any number of
chaL ss and they were easy ones di-
reetly under the basket but they
failed to make them count, the
game ending 81 to IS. in favor OF
Georgetown
Flayin Away on.
FIavin, who has been playing such
a great game on the offense for
Georgetown, appeared tc be way off
as he could not register his usual
long ones. and only annexed one
double pointer during the entire
contest Fees, he of the eagle eye,
showed that he is in a class by
himself when it comes to dropping
them in from the foul mark, as
out of fNthirteen tries, he landed ten
of them.
Every time George Washington
brought the ball up the floor IL was
feed to Gilman, upon whom the
Hatchetites depended to drop them
in. This little fellow is a splendid
basketball player. but he has too
much Of a load to carry. He was
here, there. and everywhere on the
court Daily and Boteler put up
great game on the defense.

BARONESS IS 70
UNFOLD GRAPHIC
TALE Of FRANCE
french Suffering 10 BE Pictured By
Woman Who Sacrified With
Them.

A tale Of suffering can only be
told with sympathy by one who
has suffered. The Baroness
Frances Wilson Huard. who APP
pears at the Buris opera house to-
morrow evening In behalf OF the
American Committee OF Devastated
France, tells with vividness of
detail the story Of the misery OF
France in the days of desolation
and distress. The baroness has
felt the lash Of hunger and the
whip OF despair as she fed her
home on the Marine from the cruel
ty Of the advancing Uhlans. It is
because OF this experience and the
intimacy OF her life with the
French people before, during and
after the war that she is eminently
fitted to tell the people Of this
country the need Of those who SO
long were her neighbors in peace
and contentmcnt and later in mis-
cry and want her companions
made friends by the severity OF
their mutual sacrifice and need.

George could promise no military
support to the French move.
Moreover, large elements Of Great
Britain's population, notably the
labor party, believe the German So
cialists are right in their cry that
the treaty is too harsh for the, eco
nomic good of the world.
L. s. Interest Wanes.
In America, from whom the
French expected SO much. there is
a constantly diminishing interest
in the fate of France as evidenced
by the Indifference of the senate
toward the Americana Brit
ish defensive agreement which
President Wilson submitted to the
senate nine months ago and
which has not even been reported
from the senate foreign relations
committee. Feeling that she can
get no physical help from the
United States, France is taking
matters in her own hand to prevent
trouble on her own frontiers
But while there is a good deal OF
sympathy with the plight of France,
there is nevertheless a feeling that
France is not acting wisely for her
own best interest and that by her
action in occupying German cities
she will keep alive the germs OF
war and unrest in central Europe
the rehabilitation of which has
beeh so earnestly sought to stab
ilize European and world finance.
But the French military are ner-
yous. Promises and advice from
America seem to mean nothing with
Germany at the front gate and
the French viewpoint is that re-
gardless of allied discussions and

enforce the treaty herself.
Watch Own Interests.
The foregoing line IF reasoning
lis not altogether peculiar to
France. Others in the allied family.
notably England and Italy and now
Japan in the far east are looking
out for their own interests. There
is no central compelling moral
force to say any nation nay. The
League of Nations was designed by
President Wilson to meet exactly
the situation that has arisen. It
was to negative any territorial
pretensions or arbitrary interpreta-
tioE of the peace treaty. Article 10
was a pledge to preserve territorial
integrity.
Had the United States and the
council Of the league been function
ing, the question would have re-
quired a unanimous vote before
France could have acted in occupy
ing German territory. Japan would
have been prevented from entering
! Vladivostok without consulting the
allies and getting their consent
Italy would have been hailed be-
fore the League of Nations and re-
quired to expel D'Annunzio from
Fiume under penalty of economic
boycott. But none of these out
breaks on the part of the allies
themselves either in central
Europe, the near east or far east
might have occurred if each of the
associated powers had had more re-
spect for the League of Nations
Their present attitude is convincing
evidence OF their lack of faith in
any international concert which
lacks the physical and moral bal
ance of the United States.

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huana Shan Created a Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
Is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming
dynasty Buddhist priest named Pu
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhui hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making 1t sacred
mountain. A journey to Peking and
nm audience with the royal household
resulted in the appropriation of large
sums of money for developing this
fairyland of the gods. A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. 1t
s'as decorated with 1000 little Bud
dbas and was called Thousand God pa
CODA. The temple. whose halls it
decked, was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called the Merciful Light hall.
AT that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds of priests came to
the mountains, and there was n period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built to the tops of all the important
peaks, and at least one temple was
erected far above the line of perennial
springs.

the bride who has decided to draw
upon 1920 to supply the style her
maids shall wear, is pictured here.
Tucks and frills, all at their pretty
best in net. are used for trimming.
An underskirt of net has two groups
of narrow tucks about the bottom and
over it long and full tunic, wired
about the hips. A frlll over the wired
line proclaims its allegiance 10 the
old hoop skirt effect, which Is the in
spiration of this frock. Below the
frill two groups of narrow tucks give
nm embroidered band of net the proper
setting. The short sleeves are very
frilly, with three narrow fiounces as
finish, headed with group of tucks.
The bodice is slightly low, giving a
line across the bust and shoulders that
is in keeping with the hooped skirt.
A frill at the neck opening has tucks
and embroidered band below and at
each side plain net gathered in and
extending to the waist, gives an added
fullness. The sash of narrow satin
ribbon with hanging loops and long
ends set on Mt each side is a charming
accessory, the loops falling from clus'
tiers of little chiffon roses.

VIZ HEN the talk is of bridesmaids
w frocks there is no telling the
wide ranges it will travel. for here Is
where the bride may give range to her
fancy, especially if she is to have a
bevy of maids. She may choose to
lead them back few centuries in
choosing styles or she is more than
likely TO pick out some period not so
remote and revive its charm of quaint
dress or she may decide to be very
modern and frankly frivolous. But il
she hopes TO please everybody let her
decide that her maids shall look de
mure and beautiful. They can do this
in clothes with either an ancient or
a modern flavor.
Taffeta, georgette and fine net. all
make lovely frocks for bridesmaids
and each of them amounts to an in
surance of success; yet they are as
different as can be. All are beautiful
in light colors, and net, in white. used
to veil color, makes practical frock
that will give great deal of service
after 1t has played its part at n we'd
ding. Georgette is astonishingly dur
able In spite of its fragile looks. and
everyone knows the virtues of taffeta.
