however, Barnes looked like a new

breaking the competitive record for

he was, there was no chance of his

Old managers say there is too much
silence in the infield of the Yankees

1t seems to be the general verdict
that. while baseball is the national

again.
Rochester has recalled Catcher Fred
Ross from Petersburg of the Virginia

For the first time in several weeks
word comes from Christy MathewsOn.
1t is that he is still at Saranac Lake

NOTE TO BABE

Babe Ruth is a big guy, but
he has never hit four hOmers in
one game.
Bobby Lowe, Perry Werden
and Ed Delahanty all have.
And Bambino with all his ter
rife smuggling has never bounced
out enough hits to total 4O7
bases for a season. Tip O'Neil
back I'm 1887 accomplished this
feat
George Sisler of the Browns
came the nearest to O'Neirs mark
in 1920, when he hit for total
of 800 bases.
There is no rest for super.
He no sooner cracks one record
than all the high spots of history

away at. And he's expected to
hurdle them or fall a shadow

The International Conference on Transit.

Within few days there will assemble in BARGE
Iona an international conference on transit under
the presidency of NJ. Gabriel Handotaux, formerly
french minister OF foreign affairs and rapporteur
OF the committee on technical organization in the
assembly of the league of nations 1t is the pur-
pose OF the Barcelona conference to do in the realm
OF transit and communications what was done at the
Brussels conference in the field OF international
finance
This conference will take under consideration
a survey of the communications situation through
out the world and will endeavor to discover ways
and means by which the distribution of available
materials may be facilitated and to secure more
effective employment of the existing means of
communication.
1t is generally realized that one of the chief
factors contributing to the existing economic con-
dition is the breakdown OF transport, which is a
consequence of the war. The dislocation of the
machinery OF communication has aggravated the
condition due to the lack Of essentials for econom-
ic recovery, such as coal, foodstuffs and raw ma
terials. The reduction and deterioration of all
means OF transport have hampered the proper dis
trbution of such materials as were available,
and has affected both importing and exporting
countries in varying degrees.
The program OF the Barcelona conference in
cludes examination and formulation OF separate draft
agreements freedom of transit international con-
troll Of certain navgable waterways, railways and
ports. and the organization under the league of ma
tions of an advisory commission on communications
and transit, which will sit at Geneva and supervise
the execution of the agreements made at BARGE
Iona.
All members of the league have been invited,
and an invitation has been extended to the United
States Other recognized governments have re-.
ceived information regarding the preparatory work
OF the conference.

First Round to Lloyd George.

The negotiations of the London conference were
conducted largely for the benefit of the constituent
sies of Messrs Lloyd George, BRAND and Simons
rather than for the purpose of getting together to
hnd settlement. On this score DIR. Simons showed
conelusively that he is no more match for Llovd
George than any of the many other opponents of
that very astute statesman.
q The German delegation was under the neces-
sity of putting up strong show of resistance and
with true German ineptitude overdid it. BRAND
and Lloyd George regarded with some sus-
picion by the French Nationalist groups headed by
former President Poineare and. any sign of con-
eesson on the part would have resulted in the fall
Of BRAND and the formation of ministry pledged

Germany. Both delegations, therefore, were forced
to begin negotiations with the delivery of ulti-
rnatums. D In this preliminary round Lloyd George

SENATE COMMITTEE
ASSIGNMENTS WAIT

Republican committee selections
were not ready yesterday TO submit
to u conference OF the Committee on
committees, and in, view of this de-
lay, the Democratic lists, which
were picked at conference
"wednesday, were held back. These
lists were to have been given TO
the Senate and made public.
Senator Brandegee, vice chairman
OF the Republican committee on
committees, said yesterday that
questionnaires which had been
given Senators OF the majority side
10 fll out, expressing their prefer
encc for committee service. had not
all been returned, and therefore the
time for the conference on selec-
tions was hardly ripe.
Many Of these questionnaires
have been received, however. and
the work OF placing the twenty
FIVE new Republican members. and
the thirty-four old Senators as
well. will not be dificult when the
conference is held. Senator Bran
degee may be able to announce the
date of the conference today.

Men With Opinions.

There is delightful frankness about Secre-
tary Of Navy DENLY. His loyalty belongs to his
Chief; his opinions are his own That is a funda-
mental American distinction and one that makes
for great usefulness
Secretary DENLY has no objection to opposition.
1t is what develops mems character and quality
He evidently takes difference of opinion not as
personal monopoly, but as a universal right 1t
is the sort of mental exercise be sought and the
more skilled the opponent, the better and more
fruitful the test of mental worth and truth of
judgment
He favors an international forgiveness of debts
Whether others agree with him is not so important
as is his own convictions He holds that this coun-
try should have navy large as that of any
other in the world and that economies must begin
somewhere else Those who differ with him. are
welcome to do so.
At the start off of this administration with its
Cabinet of independent thinkers, it is natural to
recall that of President Lincoln. He, too, had a
Cabinet of somewhat like quality and of very like
individual independence. They had habit of say
ing what they thought and of differing with each
other.
If Lincoln did not encourage this, he certainly
did not discourage it. He appreciated its value to
him, and asked only for loyalty to the common
cause with effective results Roosevelt to only a
less degree, has like experience and it did not dis
turb him. He. too, appreciated its value History
frequently repeats itself.

tnue along the line he had taken was brilliant
exhibition Of Lloyd Georges political astuteness.
BY presenting their proposals in such way as
to deprive themselves of the. support of British
liberal opinion, which was opposed to the terms Of
the Paris conference, the Germans played directly
into the hands Of their alert opponent and gave
him the opportunity he desired to make speech
which would strengthen his and M. Brands posi-
ton not only with the French Nationalists but in
England and America.
1t is extremely unlikely that Lloyd George or
anyone else at the conference expected the Ger
mans to agree to the terms laid down at Paris or
to make counter proposal which would at once
be acceptable to the allies. But in taking advan-
tage OF the reliable German obtuseness, LLOYD
George did not go SO far as 10 preclude the poss-
biity of further discussions when the preminaries
were over
Since the meeting of the allied premiers in
Paris in January, the leaders of Britain France and
Germany had devoted good deal of effort in
talking to their constituents and to the opinion of
the world The allied statesmen insistently declared
their determination not to recede inch from the
terms laid down, and Dr. Simons had toured Ger
many making speeches exhortng his people to be
firm in their reputation of the atrocious and in
iqutous terms Of the allies.
The speeches of Dr. Simons and Mr.. Llovd
George at the conference were the final efforts of
their campaigns. They were doubtless part of the
game but it is significant that in these speeches,
there was evidence of a willingness to talk things
over Which did not characterize their earlier utter
ances.
Another significant thing the absence of
any reflection OF, apprehension over the outcome OF
the London conference in the financial centers of
Europe. Quotations the Berlin Bourse were firm
and German banking circles showed no signs of
great uneasness in spite of the reports from Lon
don. Likewise the London Exchange showed re-
markable lack of interest in the apparent failure of
the reparations conference to reach any agreement
While this may have been due in part to the
fact that financial circles had become hardened
to crises" there is little doubt but that if the
European situation had been considered immed-
ately threatened, there would have been more COM
motion in the financial communities than now ap-
pears Indeed the financial disturbance since COM
plete rupture has been comparatively slight

CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AIDS
CHEMICAL PROBLEMS.

"Crystallography is a service sci
ence, and II is intimately bound up
with chemistry and aids in the solu-
tion of chemical problems" DR.
Edgar T. Wherry told the Chemical
Society at its meeting at the Cosmos
Club last night.
Every chemical compound has its
own Characteristic crystalline form
and properties" explained DR.
Wherry. who is crystallographer of
the Bureau of Chemistry. This SCI
ence is used in the investigative
work of that bureau. The principal
substances studied have been the
alkaloids, which are used in medi-
cines; the sugars. which are used IN
foods, dyes. and the Intermediates
of compounds from which dyes are
made, and the crystals which occur
in the tissues of plants.
Crystal forms are used in the
Identification of samples of sub
stances whose identity is in doubt
he said. Certain crystallographic
features are observed or measured
and compared with lists OF the cor
responding features of known SUBJ
stances. II the sample under in
vestigation has ever been studied in
this way. it's characteristic features
may be recognized in the list and
Its identity established. In recent
years the optical properties OF
crystals have become much used in
such ways. Even IL a crystal is
crushed to minute fragments, these
retain certain characteristics which
can be recognized by study under
a microscope provided with attach
ments for making optical measure
