CAMP SELECTS
 HIS AJl-AMERICAN ETAM

In picking his -Amreciap team in this months issue of Golfers Weekly" Walter Camp has the fol- lowing to say about his selection:
 Tn looking this team over we find that we are well protected against any possible contingency. And that is a factor that has made more cham pion teams than probably any other asset. First, we have center who is absolutely accurate. Next a quarter back of sound judgment. a real gen. eral, and a man who is sturdy enough to last through a game or season. We have a pair of ends who are ab- solutely certain to get down the field under kicks. We have four men in the back field, on kicks CT forward passes by the opponents, any one of whom = Aldrich, Killinger, Kaw or Devine-is likely to turn a caught punt in mid fied into long run. We have in Stein and Wick a pair of men, either of whom can play a rowing position on the defense with telling effect, and we have in Schwab and Brown men who can stop up any gap in the mid l dle, while in Mcclure we have a tac- llle whom the interference cannot put out and who, in fact, is likely to break l through that interference and down the runner.

PUT PEACE AHEAD
Knox Resolution Soon To Be
Only Idea of Congress.
From Tuesday Until Settled, All
Else Showed Aside.

Washington, April 19.-The senate
foreign relations committee will take
up the Knox peace resolution Thurs
day, Senator Lodge announced today.
From then on until technical state
of peace with Germany and Austria
has been restored, both houses of con-
gress will center their attention on
foreign relations.
While the routine handling of the
resolution by the senate committee is
expected to cause much discussion. the
debates in both houses probably will
cover the whole field of foreign reia-
uons and to result in pointed inquiries
of the Harding administration from
some quarters concerning its foreign
policies.
Already some senators are preparing
to inquire concerning these matters:
zap. The allied debt. Oil, especially
in mandatory territory. The position
of the administration toward renewal
of the Angio-Japanese alliance, and
Russia.
1t is regarded as certain that there
will be inquiries for fuller and clear
er Interpretation of the Harding policy
with respect to Germany.
Senator Lodge, it was intimated to-
day, will reply with a statement to
the effect that after full conference
with Harding, the foreign relations
committee and party leaders have
agreed to leave Harding unhampered
in developing his foreign policy.

JAPS may. LOSE
Tactics on Yap Mandate May
Result in Failure.
United States in Position to
Force Entente support.

Washington, April 19.-Japan may
lose outright her mandate over the
island of Yap because of the drastic
stand she has taken in the negotia-
tions with the United States, it devel-
oped here today
The correspondence over Yap as
given out by the state department
shows that the proposals that the
s.open shop" be applied to Yap was
first made in a note from this govern
ment on December g. Had Japan
agreed to this, the Wilson administra-
ton might reluctantly have agreed TO
the japanese mandate.
Japan, however, summarily reject
ed it.
Now Secretary of State Hughes has
taken the position that Yap is one or
the territories taken from Germany;
that the United States as one of the
yictors must have a choice in disposal
of such territories and that she has
had no voice in the Yap matter.
Hughes will not recede from this
stand, which disposes of all compro-
mise proposals.
Hughes, it is known, has been as
-sured of the senate's support in his
stand.
The American petition is strength
ened by the fact that the allies want
America to participate in some OF the
features of the treaty of Versailles,
the German reparations question be
ing one. This government will not
participate, however, until the conten-
tions of the Hughes mandate note are

Lloyd George would submit to the
conference suggestions which might
lead to prompt renewal of nego-
tiations with striking miners.
