SEES LITTLE HOPE
IN A BLOCKADE
Washington Officials Point Out
That One Already Tried Proved
Itself a Failure.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Effective
ness Of the blockade proposed by
France and Great Britain as a means
of bringing pressure to bear upon the
Bolshevlki is seriously questioned
by officials, who pointed out that
such a blockade has Reen main
tained by the British Navy in the
Baltic Sea since the conclusion Of the
armistiCe The blockade, although
never formally acknowledged, has
sucCessrU' y prevented the importa-
ton into Russia Of any goods which
the Allies desired to keep out, these
officials claimed without having
broken the power of the Soviet re
gime.
There was no reason to expect, Il
was said, in the same official quar-
ters, that the formal announcement
Of a blockade already existing for
many months would promise any OF
the hoped for remedial results
claimed for II by some.
The use OF force by France and
Great Britain wac equally void OF
hopeful results in the opinion OF Of
fcials, even II these nations pos
sessed troops in sufficient numbers tC
give adequate military aid.
Definite comIqit ment of the United
States Government TO n plan Of ac-
ton in the Polish crisis continued
to be held in allegiance. The situa-
ton is regarded as sufficiently grave
to warrant its constant consideration
by State Department officials almost
to the exclusion Of everything else.

tons, was the actor who punched Nc
Grnw in the eye and nose, it was
learned on good authority, but this
was not admitted officially at the
Lombs' Club 1t was understood
along Broadway that McGraw mis-
took Boyd for Walter Knight, another
actor who is said to have been re-
sponsible for MCGraws suspension
from the Lambs few months ago.
At the Lambs Club, following the
meeting Of the House Committee, the
following statement was given out;

In the grill room with the exception
of half dozen persons, at the most,
and there was no celebratlon-just
friendly talk. McGraw came into
Il club and mistook a certain mem
Der for a man with whom he had had
a difference; he grossly insulted this
member; was very violent and abusive
and provoked quarrel In which the
club member was on the defensive.
After the difference had been set
tied. Mr. Slavin endeavored to per-
suade his friend, Mr.. McGraw, to
leave the club, and he, with Com
mander Liggett, put Mr.. McGraw into
a taxicab and took him away from
the club. Mr.. Slavin had at no time
any part IN the alteration, except as
a peacemaker and left the club IN a
perfectly normal condition"
It was learned that in his fight with
the actor the manager of the Giants
was struck twice on the nose, caus-
ing an eye TO puff and turn black.
At this point Mr.. Slavin took a hand
to stop the fight. finally getting Nc
Graw to washroom to stop the
blood flow.
Then with Winfield Liggett an-
other member who had been playing
cards with Mr., Slavin and Mr.. Boyd
so the story goes, Mr.. Slavin per-
suaded McGraw to start for home n
a taxicab.
There seems to be a difference
as to what happened in the taxi. The
chauffeur, William Meeghan of No. 3
Columbus Avenue. has slightly
changed his story.
TN front of the apartment where
McGraw has lived for nine years"
Meeghan told the police "McGraw
and Slavin got out OF the taxicab.
Lggett started TO yet out too, but
McGraw shouted kou get back In
there! at the same line showing Lig-
gett back into the cab. Then
looked at the taxi metre, and before
could turn back again to the pas
sengers Slavin was on his back on the
sidewalk and McGraw was on his way
into the apartment house"
Physicians who examined Slavin af-
ter he had been rushed to st. Luke's
by Meeghan and Commander I.igEett
told a reporter to- day that they
thought Slavln could not have been
Injured at the Lambs Club and then
be able to get out of the taxi at the
