SLIGHT TO ADMIRAL
ANDERSON CHARGED
American Asiatic Fleets Visit
to Yokohama ignored by
Press, Is Report.
The state and Navy Departments

The state and Navy Departments
are greatly interested in a report
from Tokyo Of an alleged slight to
Admiral Edwin Anderson, COM
mander OF the American Asiatic
fleet. by newspapers which failed
to mention his stay of a week in
Yokohama.
No word Of the incident has been
received by either department and
it is asserted that If the supposed
insult contained no official side, it
would be ignored. Should it de-
velop that there was an official
oversight OF the admiral and his
staff. that would be a matter for
representations from the Department
of State, as a matter of custom of
long standing. Ordinarily the ar.
rival of an admiral in any foreign
water is the occasion not only for
official welcome but for reasonable
newspaper accounts.
The Japanese admiralty il ex.
pected to make a disclaimer, in
view Of the publicity occasioned by
the event, but this would still not
remove certain sting in naval ana
diplomatic circles.
Quite possibly the new ambassa-
dor to Japan, Cyrus e. Wood, will
be instructed to report on aondi.

pointed recently by President Hard

SOLDIERS BATTLE HARD, BUT BLACK
 BARONS WIN TILT

Poindexter Williams Black Barons won the second game of their series with the Fort Benning aggregation Friday, and will wind up the three game affair Saturday afternoon, meeting the dusky soldiers from Georgia at Redwood at 3:30 o'clock. Friday afternoons score was 9 tC' 4.
 The game was a hard-fought, even-Stephen affair until the seventh inning. when the Black Barons got busy and won the game. The Twenty fourth infantry team from Fort Benning was harder to beat than the score indicates.
 A feature of the affair was the determined manner in which Captain Wilson of Fort Benning made the umpire change a decision in the third inning. A soldier player tried to steal home, and the Black Baron pitcher tossed the ball In to nab him. The Fort Benning batter damned the pitch to the field for clean hit. The umpire ruled that the Baron pitcher had stepped out of the box, and that the Fort Benning player was out. Captain Wilson took his men off the field, and would not let them return until the decision had been changed, with the agreement of the Black Bartns. Score:

Italy Sounds Warning

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. 18- Italy has taken definite steps to i'm press upon the British and French governments that she regards the present situation in the Ruhr district as fraught with greatest danger. AL though not taking the position as mediator, Italy earnestly suggests that any further forcible steps to collect separations be taken only after the most mature deliberation.
 It is understood that the action of the Italian government was taken after the German ambassador to Rome had called attention 10 the fact that the French army in the Ruhr and remnants of German mil itary forces are facing each other across a space of only a few miles, presenting a situation which is re garded as involving most dangerous possibilities.
