NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-A tentative
 decision not to permit Gene sarazen,
 American golf champion, five or six weeks leave of absence to com pete in the British open golf cham pionship tournament was voted to-
 day by the directors of Briar Cliff Lodge, the Country club at Briar Cliff Manor, N. Y, by whom he is
 employed.
 "It was the concensus of opinion,' said a statement issued by the di-
 rectors. that permission should be
 refused Sarazen for this purpose, but definite action was withheld until his return from an exhibition tour he is
 making through the west and south."
 Sarazen, holder of the American national open and professional titles,
 planned to go to England in June with other American golfers in quest
 of the only major title he has not won. He signed contract as Briar Cliff professional a short time ago with the understanding that he would be allowed time away for tournament play but apparently the contract did
 not cover long leaves of absence. sARAZEN IS SURPRISED LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-Gene Sarazen. American open golf cham pion, expressed surprise when in- formed of the refusal of the directors of Brtar Cliff lodge, the New York club which employs him as profess
 sional, to grant him leave of absence
 to compete in the British open cham pionship. That means we'll have to leave the matter ride for the time being" he said, after a moment s thought, adding that he preferred not to make any further comment on the
 directors decision until he had heard from them directly.

Allies Resent Separate Pact
and Use Rhine Army Costs
For Venting Spite.

international News Service.

PARIS, May 1.-The allies are
using the cost OF armies of occu-
patton on the Rhine as a means of
furnishing the United States for hav-
ing signed separate treaty of peace
with Germany, it was learned today
from a source close to the allied
committee which is dealing with this
subject.
The United States demanded inn
mediate payment of about 1856, 000,-
600 for the upkeep of the American
army of occupation, which was for
merly stationed at Coblenz.
The negotiations resulted in
strained relations between the United
States and certain of the allied ma
tons. Washington was represented
here by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Eliot Wadsworth.
Americas separate treaty with
Germany seems to be the principal
stumblingblock in the negotiations, .
said the Echo de Paris. ut was
feared on Monday that an open rup-
ture could not be averted. This
question being of secondary i'm
portance, it is hoped that it will
not react unfavorablys upon rela-
tons between the United States and
France"

is head, At Mooseheart, Ill. He also
disclosed that he intends to devote
the reat of his life, upon being re-
lieved, Of his Cabinet duties, to the
work of ameliorating the condition
of orphans throughout the United
States
He bitterly criticized the system
now In vogue in many communities
of scattering orphaned brothers and
sisters. who in later years in many
cases do not even know who their
parents were or where their brothers
and sisters are" He termed this
plan ''one of the most disgraceful
things in civilization"
Survey for Reforms.
Secretary Davis gave this opinion
in contrasting conditions at the
great Mooseheart plant, where
mothers and children are together
and where every child is fitted to
go out into the world and make a
living.
The Order of the Moose is about
to undertake survey of all poor
houses and orphanages in the United
States. he said, with view to bring.
ing about the desired modification
of the old system.
"And we want you women to give
us all the help you can," he added.
Opponents of restricted immigration,
said Davis, forget that there are
100000 American orphans present
ing a pressing economic and per-
sonal problem.
Pursuing the theme of immigra-
ton, he declared his belief that all
aliens should be examined and reg
istered in their native lands before
being allowed to come to Ellis

'"The American labor movement is
not given to hysteria or the cele-
bration of purely hysterical and emo
tional rites and symbolisIls, de-
clared Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of La
Dor, in announcing that as far as his
organization was concerned there
would be no demonstration.
No Violence Expected.
Official reports reaching the De-
partment of Justice from all parts
of the country indicate that no vio-
lence was to be expected, while Sec
rotary of Labor Davis asserted that
prosperity and general contentment
among the workers marked the ad-
vent of May Day in this country.
In past years the Governments
secret agents have been swamped
with threats of bomb plots and
other attacks upon constituted au-
thority, but this year all has been
quiet.
In a special May Day statement
written for international News Ser
vice, President Gompers said:
''The American Federation of La
Dor has nothing alarming to an
nounce for May Day. 1t is our
hope that there may be many pleas
ant exercises throughout the coun-
try and that the children, young
and odd, will enjoy themselves
around May poles and in strewing

be glad to perform that fitting

eff there should happen to be a
strike somewhere on May LIST, that
would be because circumstances so
shaped themselves. The European
significance of May Day would
have no more to do with the case
than a volcanic eruption at We
suviuS.
I'VE do not tell the world that
there will be a revolution on such
and such a day, or that there will
be one on any day. Our labor
movement is not a revolutionary
movement. If it were we might an
nounce some year that on May Day
the great change would come, all
plans and formulas for the event
to be filed in the patent office prior
to the event so that nobody could
steal them away from us.
I'VE strive continually for i'm
provement and progress; we want
to help bring better things and
better times SO that there may be
more and better life. But we try
to be sane and constructive and
we wish everybody a pleasant
