vey, the United States Ambassador,
who has been almost continuously in
the country since the opening of the
Genoa conference returned to London
today. He has declined to common on
the reports in circulation that the Wash
lngtOn Govt. had instructed him to
make enquiries on the questions of pc
troleur1 or other matters in which
American interests are at stake and
which might be submitted to the econo-
mic conference. The British Ministry
Tor Foreign Affairs has, since the COM
mencement of the petroleum reports.
declared that the British Govt. had alb
%solutely nothing to do with the negotia-
tons conducted at Genoa Cd the question.
The only company in which the British
Govt. is interested, declared a prominent

Two days OF tagging interest. NJ. BarthOu
telegraphed that he wished to see the
British Premier as soon as possible after
his arrival this morning from Paris. The
main point of difference between the del

# The difficulty anticipated in ad-

p~rehensiOn, especially in view of the re
port from one source that Mr.. Lloyd Georg,
is determined that tie Russian memoran-
dun shall stand and that he will probably
return to London Immediately if it is not
accepted by France and Belgium as franz
ed. Other questions to be talked over by
the two leaders are the non-aggression
pact proposed by Mr.. Lloyd George and
possibly the great problem of the German
war separations. The representatives of
the Little Entente are reported to be
ready to side with the French and Belgi-
ans in case the latter decline to adhere to
the terms of the Russian memorandum.

EAST In GRIP OF
REAL BLIZZARD
CAPITAL PARALYXED BY TER
REFIC SNOW STORM
LAST WEEK.

Washington, Jan. 28.--More than
"a hours Of continuous snow had
| tonight covered the middle Atlantic
section, with Washington as cen
ter, to a depth of a foot to nearly
30 inches; caused the suspension of
practically all business activity;
disrupted telephone and shut most
of the population in their homes.
The storm, which weather bureau
officials said was one of the most
severe in history and exceeded in
the depth of snowfall only by the
long remembered blizzard of Feb
ruary, 1899, was moving slowly to-
night up the coast from its position
during the day.
Reports to the weather bureau
showed that the Carolinas, Virginia,
Maryland Delaware and the District
of Columbia were bearing the brunt
of the storm and receiving the heay-
lest snowfall. Virginia cities ac-
customed to only an inch or so OF
snow and then OF rare occurrences,
were buried in many cases to the
depth of foot while northern por-
tions of the Carolinas still were
blanketed with a fall that began
Thursday.
Washington, however, appeared
to be the center of the heavy fall,
the weather bureau measurements
taken late in the day showing the
depth to be closely approaching two
and a half feet.
The snowfall in Washington prac-
tically halted governmental activity
and had it's effect in an international
way by causing cancellation Of two
scheduled armament conference
meetings.
ployes walked to work and many
others living in outlying or subur-
ban sections stayed at home.
Congress also was affected by the
storm, only 49 senators answering
the roll call and bare handful of
house members reported. Both
house and senate adjourned after
brief sessions.
Train service between Washing
ton and the outside world was prac-
tically suspended from last night
until early today. when seldom used
~snow fighting appara:* rsas brot
into play and intermittent and
greatly delayed service was main
| tanned.
While Washington was battling
| with snow, Norfolk, Newport News,
and Portsmouth, Va. Atlantic City,
N. j.. and other coast cities in the
middle Atlantic section were being
swept by severe gales that attended
the center of the storm area. Ship
ping along the coast was forced to
seek shelter and from every port
city came reports of vessels in dis
tress
The downtown business section OF
Norfolk was flooded by high tides
that swept in accompanied by the
gale, and traffic police were COM
PEELED to work in hip boots.

BOWBELI.S TOWN TEAM
PLAYED AMBROSE. SAT.

The Bowbells Basket Ball Town
Team went to Ambrose Saturday for
a game with the Ambrose town
tear. The game was played in this
afternoon in order to allow our boys
to return home on the evening
train. Our players were Lund,
Coleman. Wiper, summers, Carey.
Captain Taylor did not go on ac-
count Of the condition OF his arm.
Playing on. a very small floor was
a great disadvantage to the visit
ing team, but the game was fast
and close thruout. The entire Bow
bells team put up a strong contest,
Lund taking the lead by making
three field baskets from the center
of the floor. The first half ended
IA to 10 in favor OF Bowbells.
III the hotly contested second
half, Ambrose took the lead in the
last eight minutes Of play, winning
the game by final score Of 18 to
"A,
Bowbells won from Ambrose
about three weeks ago by score Of
81 to 25. An interesting coinci-
dence was brought out when the
score Of the two games were figured
IN. making the total OF the rwo
games a tie. That other game with
Ambrose was the first time their
town had been beaten In two years.
A third game on q neutral floor
will soon be played; and 1t lis likely
that this game will take place at
Crosby In the near future.
