Grantland Rice. writing In the New
York Tribune. has the following to
say regarding the praise for Column
bia uttered by the two Britishers:
a number of courses. with an excess
sive admiration for the Columbia
Country Club course at Washington.
Both Vardon and Ray were OF the
opinion that, considering all details.
this battlefield was the best they had
ever tackled"
Course In High Favor.
The professionals OF the country
and officials of the Professional Golf
ers' Association. most OF whom have
played Columbia, have spread the
word quietly that they would like TO
see the next open championship go
to the local club. II appears quite
likely. then. that Washington will be
host to the leading professional golf
ers of the country some time next
spring. all seeking the title now held
by Ted Ray of England
Columbia officials have nothing to
say. They look wise. however. and
probably deep down in their hearts
they believe the championship will
come to them. 1t is no secret that
Columbia will make a strong bid for
the amateur championship OF. 1922.
All the course construction work
during the past two wears las b
directed toward this end and now it
appears probable that Columbia Will
follow in the footsteps Of the En-
gineers' Club. which held the p. G. A.
championship in 1919 and the anna
teur tilt in 1920. Certainly IL the pro-
fessionals have anything to do With
:it. Columbia will get the open event.

golfer in the Sc average class realise

New York.-In words which admit
Of no other Interpretation, William G.
McAdoo issued statement in which
he finally and irrevocably refuses to
permit his name to go before the Dem.
ocratic convention at San Francisco.
Mr.. McAdoo reiterates that his rea'
son for leaving Washington was that
he desired to "rehabilitate his family.

he can conscientiously give his serv-
ices to his party. He declares that he
cannot afford a Presidential campaign,
should he be nominated, and that he
would not wish his friends to furnish
the necessary funds.
McAdoo's decision became known
when he released a telegram he sent
to Jouett Shouse, at Washington. Mr..
Shouse had on Thursday wired the
former Secretary of the Treasury, ask
ing him for definite statement as to
his candidacy, and making final re-

New Railroad Strike Hits Bal.
timore Hard
700 MEN SAID TO Sc IDLE
Strikers Declare Their Action Is
Aimed Not At Railroads But At
Labor Board For Delaying
Wage Decision.

Baltimore.-Baltimore was hit hard
Sunday by the new unauthorized rail
road strike, which started in Phila.
delphia on Saturday. Practically all
freight movements in or out of Bal.
timore on both the Pennsylvania and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads were
at a standstill Sunday night. The
Western Maryland Railway had not
been affected up to a late hour.
An absolute embargo on freight
shipments of every kind was declared
upon the Baltimore and Ohio lines east
Of Cumberland, because the road can
handle no more cars and its lines and
terminals already are congested.
An embargo on all freight shipments
except food for human consumption
and coal for public utilities and hos
pitfalls has been declared upon the
Pennsylvania lines to or from Balti-
more, which means that all freight
movements in or out of Baltimore have
been stopped with the exception Of
these two commodities.
Figures given out by the strikers IN
dicate that about 700 men-all yard
workers-are out in Baltimore. Despite
the small number of men, the drastic
action of the railroads was necessary
because Of the character Of the work
performed by the strikers.
That this strike is not against the
railroads themselves, but against the
Labor Board, is emphasized by the
strikers and by the union executives,
and 1t is admitted by the railroad
officials. It is the outcome Of the
disappointment of the average train
man at the repeated delays of the
Labor Board in coming to a decision
and in reality union executives and
the railroad officials sympathize with
the men to some. extent.
Baltimore. seems to be practically
the storm center of the present strike.
This city has been tied up more COM
pletely than any other large city, but
the embargoes will affect all freight
bound through Baltimore to New York.
Passenger service has not yet been i'm
paired on any of the lines, and none
Of the road crews of the freight trains
had quit.

Plan IGldsE
|F|BRcF ON GERMANY
Note Sent to Berlin by the
Supreme Council
MANY QUESTIONS UNDECIDED
No Agreement Vet As To The Divt
sion Among The Allied Nations
Of The German
Indemnity.

Boulogne Supreme Council OF
the Allies after holding three-hour
session, adjourned to meet at Brussels
July 2, leaving most of the questions
on its program undecided.
The problem of the German repara-
tions was referred to experts, who
viii; meet in Paris and endeavor to
conciliate the conflicting viewpoints
among the Allies regarding the di-
vision of the sums Germany is to
pay. The experts likewise are still
confronted with the task Of reaching
a final decision as to the total amount
of the reparations and the method of
payment.
The Turkish question is considered
to have been settled by the councils S
approval of military action against
the Turkish Nationalists as planne d
by Marshal Foch and Field Marshal
Wilson, and by the decision that the
Turks must reply to the peace terms
by the time set, June 26. This de-
cision is interpreted as meaning that
the Turks must sign the treaty as it
was prepared at the San Reno con-
ference
The Russian question came up, but
was left undecided. It was agreed,
pending further consideration, that
the economic negotiations between
the French and British delegates and
the Soviet representatives should
continue without implying in any
sense recognition Of the Soviet gov
eminent.
The communique Of the council
mentions the Brussels conference as
having been called to reach definite
agreements before the Spa meeting"
and 1T is understood that the date of
the Spa conference remains July 5, as
previously fixed.
The note to Germany, which was
finally approved this morning, con-
cludes with an announcement that
measures will be taken by the Allies
in case of noncompliance. These
measures are not specified, but it is
understood that in this contingency
the occupation Of additional German
territory would be considered.
Paris Recommendation that an in
ternatioEail financial conference be
held in Brussels to mobilize German
money and issue international loans
based on German revenues has been
decided upon at the interallied meet
ing at Boulogne, according to a spe-
cial correspo ondent Of Havas.
Another point decided by the Bou-
logne conferees, the correspondent
says, is that the Allied Powers shall
appoint ambassadors to represent
them at Berlin. These ambassadors
will be at their posts by July 1, before
the Spa conference, the date for which
remains fixed tor July 5.
