Washington, April 25.-Activity Of
German citizens in obtaining patents

ask Congress today for legislation
limiting the granting of patents to
foreigners.
The war secretary said POI ord

by German citizens since last July 1,
and all transferred to Frederick
Krupp, the great ordnance manufac-
turer at Essen.

of the circumstances 1 feel constrain-

Corrective legislation seems neces-
sary. The principle involves the poll
cy of the government granting patents
to nationals or countries with whom
the United States is at war. Further
more, the question arises whether we
should not require that all foreign
patents be put into operation within
the period of, say, two or three years
so as to forestall condition arising

LANGDON KILLING

Toxic. April 26.--Lieutenant Cen
eral Saito Commander-in-Chief Of the
Eleventh Japanese Division at Vladi-
vostok, committed suicide on Mon-
day, his death being sequel to the
shooting of Naval Lieut.. w. H. Lang
don, in that city early in January,
says the Hochi Shimbun of this city.
General Saito is said to have either
held himself responsible for the death
of Lieutenant Langdon or to have
been irritated by what he believed
was the weakness of the Japanese
Government in dealing with the incl
dent.
Lieutenant Langdon was shot and
killed by Toschigoro Ogasawara. a
sentry, who was later tried before
court martial and was found not
guilty. He was, however, sentenced to
one months Imprisonment for max
ing false statements, and his superior
officers were .censured for falling to
instruct him properly as to his duties.

Development of Public
Golf Courses In ID. c.
By BILL PRICE.

The annual report of the Chief of Engineers of the
Army strongly recommends further development of
recreaonal facilities for the public in Potomac Park
and other Government reservations, and calls especial
attention to the increasing popularity of golf This
report is based upon recommendations to the Chief of
Engineers by Colonel SHERRILL, Superintendent of
Public Buildings and Grounds who makes the best
possible of every dollar in charging recreaonal
opportunities.
1t is state that the two nine hole golf in Poto
Park congested with players in suitable weather
and that it will not be possible to accommodate all play
next year with the completion of the last nine
holes of the links in East Potomac Park. There is
still space in East Potomac Park for one more nine
hole course.
Congress appropriated the money for the course
which will next summer contain eighteen holes. 1t
wise act Of Congress and that body would still
further contribute to the contentment of Washington
people by provision for additional golf courses bathing
beaches, tennis courts etc.
As operated by Colonel Sherr's office, the only
cost of public golf to the Government is that of con-
struction. The golf are selfsupportng, the
small fees charged being ample to meet current ex
penses and upkeep of grounds.
Plans have been made for q short golf course in
Rock Creek Fdrk and another the Anacostia flats
along the Eastern branch of the Potomac
Golf was referred to as ga rich man s game"
That when men of means formed private clubs
and enjoyed the game upon their own links. The
ancient pastime is fostered in many American
cities through the construction of public links upon
which men of moderate means, not DESTROYS of join
ing clubs may play at comparatively small cost In
Des Mones, Iowa, there two complete eighteen
links maintained by the municipality and larger cities
are investing tax funds in the direction as money
well spent.
The game not only makes for health and content
ment, but for manly fairness sefrestraint and spirit
of goodfellowshp.

Somebody comes with the suggestion that the ter

Long it suggested by this writer that John

son. John d. r could show the Government how to use
fleet.
Mr. Rockefeller owned all of the United States instead
of small part of it, he would have fleet self supporting

he would say to the other nations You each have fifty or
